Second Treasure Of The Kingdom

chapter 13 : is this a date ?(1)

*click*
a door was shut closed behind the red haired young master announcing that he was finally out after long hours spent alone with a guest that had an unclear identity until now

the usual silence broke out into a rumor's contest about the henituse's first son's love life

" look the young master was really in that room for hours "

" it's already past dinner time , he was there for hours alone with the guest ? "

googling with eagerness to know more another servant spoke

" I expect the young master to announce that he is getting engaged or at least in a relationship soon "

" will his lover be okay she will be judged by the nobles as soon as he does so "

" no I don't think that he will , he is still hidding her identity until now "

" but not hidding her existence I am sure that she's his lover "

Cale who has been trying to suppress his smile to not feed the curiosity of the forming cloud of gossips more

ignored the quite whispers and supposedly sneaky glances as he walked towards his room with a completely irrelevant thought on his mind

' I didn't sense any death aura on her as Ron and alberu mentioned '

' are they delusional?or does only vicious people sense such things ?'

' I should look through that later '

marking that as another side task the count's first son continued his way in silence

.....

that night before heading to bed Cale requested more books to be send to y/n's room

" this escalated from 0 to 100 really quick"

y/n who was still processing the aftermath of the small nap grabbed an abandoned jar of cookies as well as her baby bird and plopped herself on the soft bed

(김록수의 미소...)
" rok soo's smile .."

(나는 그가 웃는 모습을 더 보고 싶다)
" I want to see him smile more "

rolling on her stomach , the red hair's smile was still dancing in her vision making her lip's corners tug up into a soft smile

she would be lying if she said that she didn't daydream about her comfort character smiling with joy once or twice
her eyes softened as she touched her lips absentmindly,one single thought roaming in her head

" can I make him smile more ? "
...
" ...I am in the novel after all "
...
" oh right I am in the novel "

her gentle smile dropped when she was reminded the time line

* sigh*

" focus y/n  "

turning to look at her well behaved goose she inched closer to him while her hand never stoped petting him

" okay b let's go through the notes we have taken before again "

* honk *

getting more than enough rest through the  first days she had spent pent up in her new room the rest was spent in analysing and ploting her next moves after transmigrating as she should have done since her arrival

y/n nuzzled her face in her bird's fluffly feathers , making her words muffled

" I 've confirmed that I had transmigrated after the accident of the empire from the crown prince's behavior "
