Chapter 17 - Please!

--Morning in Lucas place--

"Good morning...." Clara greeted while yawning.

"Why are you not responding Kevin?" Seeing there was no still no response Clara turned her head to look at the book located. She slapped her forehead immediately.

'Of course he wont response. The book was closed afterall'

'Eh? Even if its opened Kevin still wont response because he can't speak' Clara finally realized her mistake. Clara immediately opened the book and cold sweat begin appeared on her forehead seeing Kevin reply.

"Are you enjoying making fun of me?" Clara gulped hard and awkwardly laughing.

"Ahahaha..What are you saying Kevin. I just only woke up, i suffered a little morning drowsiness hehe." She awkwardly laughing.

"Humph."

"Good morning too."

Clara smiles deepening seeing his response.

'Such a tsundere'

Clara then begin release herself from the tempting bed, not forgetting to take Kevin along with her. She exited her room and walking leisurely around the house curiously. After satisfying her curiosity she sat herself comfortably on the living room area. She placed Kevin on the table and popped her chin up with her arm and staring blankly at whatever scene in front of her.

"Good morning!" A sudden voice awakened her from the blank state. She turned her head and replied while smiling.

"Good morning."

"How's your sleep? Is the bed comfortable?" Lucas begin to ask her some question regarding her situation. Lucas was aware that Clara came from a noble family and he was afraid that Clara were not able to sleep properly because a sudden change.

"Its okay i guess. You have nothing to worry about, although i was always pampered by my family. I'm not such spoiled brat that cannot even sleep if it not his/her own bed."

Lucas can only scratched his head awkwardly.

"Hehe..*cough* So i wondering what young miss planning to do today?"

"Hmmmm...Probably i will go into the library today." Clara pondering for a moment. Its not like there is something she need to do right now. The investigation about my ambusher still unknown and its unlikely will be solved in near future. The voodoo doll matter is considered solved for now because i'm not going sleep into that inn once again.I would just tell the guards about it.

"Library? Do you need me to accompany you?" Lucas asked,he feel that he should accompany Clara whole day to guard her from any harm and pest like night before.

"No no no, don't bother yourself Lucas. You can just go continue your investigation, it will benefit both of us." Clara waved her hands in denial and offering a good idea for him.

"Thats really a good idea!" Lucas nodded immediately to her proposal.

"So what food do you want to eat for breakfast?" Lucas asked.

"A bread is fine." She waved her hand in nonchalant manner.

"If you say so." Lucas retreated to kitchen to get some breads for her. A moments later he come out with a basket filled with many kind of breads.

Clara begin to drooling seeing there were many breads. She immediately picked one of them and directly eat it without any care about how her look right now. Lucas only shook his head because he never expected to see a young noble girl eating in that manner.

After eating almost most of the bread Clara finally patted her stomach satisfiedly.

"You're full now?" Lucas asked her.

"Yes. I think my stomach is bloating right now." She sheepishly smiled.

"Tch,thats what you get from eating too many. So i wondering what book is that?" Lucas pointed her finger into Kevin direction. He was curious about that book since yesterday,because he always seen Clara along with that book.

"Uhmm.." Clara was stunned at first before nervously replied. What should i say now!!!

"Uhmm..Its a book gift from my family. Its like a kind of talisman that makes my heart stay calm." She lying badly. But Lucas was never a person that invade someone privacy, so seeing Clara lying he immediately changed the topic.

"Oh..So its like that" Lucas replied without any interest about the book.

"So what time do you plan going into library?" Lucas checked his wristwatch and showed it to Clara. It showed 8 a.m.

"Right now but i'm gonna shower first. Gotta go, byee!" Clara retreated swiftly to her bedroom.

Entering her bedroom, the first things she do was placed Kevin and enter the shower immediately. After washing herself up for a while she exiting her bathroom and begin dress herself. She wear Kevin past clothes and added a coat as outer layer. Not forgetting to wear a scarf, she covered her face with it. After checking herself a few times in the mirror she come out from her room. Holding a Kevin in her left hand she waved toward Lucas while saying goodbye.

As expected from the arrival of winter, the wind outside is so chill. But this will be a great benefit for her as a Ice magician. It will be a good training for her body. She wear a coat just for pretending. If people seeing her walking around without any coat, that would be suspicious. Its not that bad to be wary about everything.

Clara arrived at the library after 15 minutes walking. She then greeted by a same receptionist but this time the receptionist stare and smile were kind of strange. Clara decided to ignore it and proceed directly into the magic bookshelf category like yesterday. She also picked up the same book as yesterday "Form of every creature"

After Searching for the most corner seat, she sat herself comfortably there. After reading it for a few hours and consulting it with Kevin, someone suddenly tap her. Its the receptionist.

'Why i'm often getting deja vu recently' Clara thought helplessly. She glanced at wristwatch to check the time was but confused because its still noon. Why the receptionist tap her?

Like hearing her thought, the receptionist immediately speak.

"Umm Clara, you say that yesterday you want to meet with the magician that do the book copy right? So he's available now. Do you want to meet him?" The receptionist already knew her name after Clara introducing herself.

Clara widened her eyes before nodded excitedly.

"Please!"
