With the sa thod as before, we easily snuck back into the manor without any of the guards and maids noticing.
It was just that the look Aisha gave before she left…
There was a bitter smile on my face as I watched her jump out the window.
…
When morning ca, the maids ca in after I woke up and started cleaning up everything without a word.
The way that they moved, it really seed like they had been well trained on this matter.
That made reveal a frown.
After all, in the first place, elves shouldn't be trained for things like this.
This is sothing that the other races would think of because of the division that they created between themselves. For elves that valued freedom above all, it would be going against their principles to do sothing like this.
Yet here were these elven maids that had been trained as such.
The more that I saw of this, the more put off I felt…
It really felt like there was sothing off about this place, it was just that I wasn't able to put my finger on what it was exactly.
I didn't stay there to watch them as I went out for breakfast with the rest of my group.
When I ca out, I could see the way that the others looked at , but I just calmly looked back at them without saying anything. After all, this wasn't the ti to be talking about this.
Though their expressions soon changed when Aisha ca out of her room.
With a wide smile, she walked over to my side and grabbed my arm.
Normally I would have avoided this and would have even stopped her before she could approach, only I didn't stop her this ti.
Once she grabbed my arm, she said with a smile, "Darling, how are you this morning?"
The expressions on the faces of Klein and the others imdiately changed the mont that they heard this.
Unlike most of the elves, they knew what the relationship between and Aisha was.
So when she started acting this way, it was only natural that it would get the wrong kind of attention.
There was a part of that gave a bitter laugh, but that part of was kept inside.
That was because this was one of the conditions that I had agreed to when I convinced Aisha to teach magic.
Though it wasn't for the reason one would think it was for.
It wasn't that I had accepted what she had proposed previously, it was just that I was playing this part while we were in the Elven Kingdom. After all, there were people in the Elven Kingdom that wanted to make her do things.
There were also plenty of people that were sent to bother her during this ti. That was quite clear based on the number of people that had surrounded her at the banquet yesterday.
As long as we were in the Elven Kingdom, there would almost always be those that would try to do sothing to her.
As such, it was best if she found so kind of cover to stop them from doing this.
The best cover was naturally to have soone play a certain role to dissuade them from continuing with this.
And the one that she chose was .
I knew about this, but I had chosen to stay out of it because I didn't want to create misunderstandings.
But if she was going to go as far as requesting it from …
Well, it was hard for to say no.
At the sa ti, there was sothing that I would be getting out of it.
However, for my own sake, I didn't confirm or deny what she said.
I just had a calm look on my face as I let her take my arm and pull forward to the dining room while she said what she wanted to say.
There were many eyes that were on us as we made this display.
Many of them were from the elves that were around the manor.
These elves had been sent here to watch over us after all and it was clear by the looks on their faces that they hadn't expected this. At the sa ti, it was clear that they were planning on reporting what they saw to the people above them.
That was why I didn't stop them from looking at us.
While we were heading to the dining room, Klein actually ca forward and asked, "Did sothing change? You're acting differently from before. It seems like the two of you have beco much closer."
The special tone that was in his voice was more than enough to hear what he was implying.
Another bitter feeling filled when I heard this, but it wasn't as if I could talk about this here.
So the only thing that I could do was say, "What do you an? We're always like this."
Though while I was saying this, I gave a special look to Klein.
There was a strange look that appeared on his face when he saw this, but he eventually gave a nod and moved away. Though while moving away, there was still a strange look that was on his face as he looked at us.
I couldn't help feeling even more bitter when I saw the way that he and the other royal guards looked at .
I was sure that it would be troubleso once I got ho.
I already knew that these royal guards would never back up and would rat out whenever they had the chance.
Still, I couldn't really bla them…
I would be scared of Rose too if I was in their position.
With Aisha pulling like this, we arrived in the dining room.
But the mont that we arrived, I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows.
That was because there was soone there that I didn't expect.
