"This is My Tower, Well? Do you like it?"
"It looks shabby to me for a small mage who's supposedly looking for an Apprentice. Say, Did you bribe the Archmage or something?" I asked smirking slyly, I glanced at him and he smiled, "How did you know?!" He excitedly exclaimed, I sighed and walked in, He led me to my room a room not too small and not too big. The outside of the tower looked like a modern building from my past life. I think I'll live comfortably here. fufu~
[I'm worried though...]
"Did you really bribe the Archmage?"
"Hahahaha! Do you think I'd be capable of that?"
I looked him up and down he looked suspicious especially since he was wearing a cape and black clothes along with it. I just sighed helplessly and walked into the room and closed the door in his face, "Hey! That's a bit rude for a person who was just saved by a Mage!~" He pouted, I smiled a bit and he walked away, giving me space to breathe.
Morning~
"Archm-"
"Shhh! Don't say that."
"Archma-"
"I told you not to say that name! Don't call me by that title! She'll hear!"
"Gasp! Don't tell me- You finally brought a woman to the tower with you-"
"SHHH! JUST CALL ME ASHER!" He whispered loudly, He couldn't stress enough how hard it'd been to just bring her to the tower, it would've been much harder if she knew he was the Archmage. He could already imagine it.
"Would you like to be my Apprentice?"
"Are you someone important or powerful?"
"Yes, I am the Archmage, Khaled." He'd say proudly and she'd turn a blind eye and walk away, "Sorry no can do, I'm leaving! Have a safe trip! Hope we don't meet again!"
His Imagination ^
"Uh...Arch-I mean Asher..?" The poor mage asked, he was being held by the shirt by such force, he was floating in the air while being held by the shirt, as he had a Thinking posture leaving his staff to choke on the wall while he thought.
"Yawns! Huh? Oh No! Asher! You've been choking this poor man what are you even doing?!" I exclaimed worriedly, I walked over and jumped to reach the man's hand but couldn't, I walked over to thinking Asher and punched him on the forehead since it was what he used to think, let's make him dumber.
"Ack! Ouch, What was that for Char?"
"You're choking him!" I exclaimed, he looked up and he was as surprised as I was when I entered. "Oopsie I forgot I was holding him by the collar using magic."
"How did you even keep up for that long-"
"Shh.." He whispered, Closing the poor man's mouth, "You owe me for this one. You know the drill, ASHER." The man whispered so quietly that I couldn't hear what he said. "Sigh fine..." Asher whispered, He walked over to me and looked me up and down, just like I did once. He then snapped his fingers making me feel more alive.
"W-What did you do?!"
"I just helped you, You can thank me later-"
"Thank You MY ASS! What did you do?!" I shouted, I scowled at him while holding him by the collar, I had a red polo shirt and a black skirt, As I would usually dress for work. It's a terrible habit of mine. "I-I JUST HELPED YOU RELEASE YOUR MANA INto yOur BODY!" He shouted, He looked dizzy so I finally let him go and dropped him on the cement ground. I left him there and headed downstairs, I found the kitchen on my own without his help.
"Charlotte! Can you-?"
I just turned and walked around him to avoid cleaning his study again, it's a mess and I've seen much worse but he's taking advantage of me being a maid once before.
"Char! Please clean my-!"
I just up and left, "Why do I feel like she's avoiding me?" He pouted, He sulked in the corner, "Is he okay?"
"He probably asked Lady Charlotte to clean his study again."
"Can't he do it himself?"
"He is the ARCHMAGE, so he should be able."
"You know how messy it is."
The maids walked away and pretended not to see, while the kingdom's most powerful man was defeated by a simple ex-maid from the palace.
"So, How was he, Anna?" I asked she chuckled, "You should've seen his face! He was sulking in the corner right where everyone saw him! The maids even took your side!" She laughed as she brushed my hair in front of a mirror, the room I was given is decent, it's not too lavish and it's not too simple. The bed was made of cotton which made it more comfortable.
"Really? ugh! I should've brought my phone with me!" I anxiously said, "What's a fone, Lady Charlotte?"
"Ah It's something that was made in my country, it's only ever been there, so it wouldn't be sold to another kingdom or nation."
"Ah, I see! You must be from the Inventing Kingdom that's full of geniuses!"
"Ahahaha Yeah Y-You're right!" I stammered, I looked at my reflection and I looked almost like a noble, I didn't look much into this person and her life but assuming she had a very difficult and tough life, We had one thing in common. she also seemed to be worried about Sebastian's life as well as me.
