[DISCONTINUED] I was reincarnated in The Abandoned Empress as a minor character

.11. Unexpected Meetings

Stepping on the paved ground to breathe the surrounding air I smile at the huge building in front of me 

The Royal Library 

 This place can answer my question, I must be careful I am at the Royal Library so they is one big I probably can eventually meet 

. Waiting . Waiting . 

When I see the image in front of me again, the breeze strengthens. Ruve

It has been a total of half an hour and I still haven't found any useful information about war break outs

The last twenty minutes I spent studying dreams and other things related to my nightmare last night. In the end I got bored and went to do more about it. The Study of War.

I need to save the archduke from the war and for it to happen I need to stop the war from manifesting. If i stop the war from transpiring the archduke and Eldred won't die

Haha! 

Reincarnation is really annoying.

'Duke Zena is an influential nobleman, but he can't hold that much power to provoke a civil war'

'Is there someone else behind the scene?'

'Am i seeing things behind a closed curtain'

*COUGH*

I jerked up from my laying position and looked up at the person behind me.That sure was one exaggerated cough.

My mind took a second to take in the person facing me.

'I certainly didn't expect to see him here'

"Ah! Finally you noticed me!" The little boy beamed, the smile so radiant it could've melted my heart

. Could've

"I noticed that the lady is reading an interesting book, and I want to know if I can borrow it." 

"Of-course! You can have a look at it umm..." I squinted my eyes trailing off, so he can tell me his name, it would seem suspicious if i said his name all of a sudden

"Where are my manners, I am Allendis la Verita. I am delighted to have gotten to know you." He bluntly bowed his head

i sat up and lowered my head as well " I am Estelle Vaste Castillo, the joy is mine" I smiled and looked up at his face.

"Where are my manners I am Allendis de Verita, I am delighted to have gotten to know you." He was bluntly bowing his head 

his eyes that widened a bit returned my smile afterwards

"the book you were reading how did you find it?" his eyes brightened a bit making flowers bloom all over the place

I swear these male leads

"Yeah, it's really fun. It's reasoning with very incomplete evidence, especially when they describe the economy of the Romanian Empire"

"don't you think so! I also found the same malfunction"

and just like that I had spent the rest of my time talking about  random topics on empires with Allendis.

"Wow so you reached even there!"

"Yes! oh did i spoil it for you sir Verita?" my voice came out genuinely concerned,

"not really! actually I think you're pretty smart, people your age can't fully understand the contents of the book" his eyes were locked with mine and I saw a hint of sincerity in them

Since when had I been called smart? 

I was always called a nerd at school and I always ended up being the target to bullying, but this boy in-front of me told me so, my heart felt a kind of warmth in it

"You can say so yourself sir Verita" I said smiling back at his giggling face. which soon became dull

"You won't call me Allendis?"

"...pardon?"

"Call me Allendis! Talking to one of my peers on this kind of topic, It was my first time doing so. so I hope the lady will feel free to call me as such." he beamed folding his arms with a smile, patiently waiting for my response 

I hesitated for a moment, slightly taken aback by his sudden change of expression. Seeing my agonized state Allendis jumped excitedly and grasped my hands in his

"won't you call me Allendis?" softly, his voice reached out to me like a sweet melody.

"a-alright A-Allendis! i hope you can also feel comfortable calling me by my name"

"see! now we're friends!" He was shining. When he released his hand from the soft grip, I think my heart was pounding.

'I have never had friends or the desire to make ones before, shall i decline his offer?  i guess it's just fine being friends either way'

'but when he'll meet Aristia things will change later, but maybe, just for now'

"alright!"

that might have been one of the things that I enjoyed after reincarnation, maybe in both my lifetimes. Seeing Allendis wave at me with his hand at me sitting in the carriage, in a split moment i thought

'Just a bit more...I want to stay...just a bit more...'

I did not realize until then

"We are here, my lady" The coachman said

"Yes"

'i saw something suspicious at the Imperial library'

had I been too caught up with my unexpected meeting with Allendis that I became oblivious?
