Kiro enters the room . She notices that Luchia had already changed her into new clothes.
-You may leave now .
-Are you su...
-Yes I am , now please .
-If you insist.
Luchia leaves the room and Kiro waits until the girl wakes up . Time passes , Averie finally wakes up and sees Kiro sitting on her side.
-Where am I , What happened .
-You fell unconscious , I brought you here in my mansion .
She then quickly recognizes his face .
-You , you are the bastard who killed the knights and threatened me.
-If I were you I would choose my words carefully ,I saved you after all and I doubt they would let off alive , If you are the person you say.
Averie notices she doesn't have the same clothes she had before.
-What happened to my clothes?
-You had them changed , You had them all dirty
-You , you , you perv....
-Luchia changed them for you .
-Luchia?
-My maid
-I see .
-Now I know who you are but I don't know what are you doing here.
-That's none of you business .
-I guess it's not , anyway , how much do you think your daddy would pay for you?
-What?
-I'm getting you back to your father .
-No I'm not going back there.
-So you have escaped .
-And what if I did?
-Now I presume you have a bounty on your head
-What's your point
-The demon king would pay me much more for his daughter than the bounty itself.
-What makes you think he would pay for me ?
-I'm going to be rewarded in some way .
-What makes you so sure about that ?
-You escaped , which mean you had some kind of value to him . I'm going to eat lunch , be my guest today .
-There is something about you .
-What is it now.
-You are a human , but you feel different .
-Enough with this , are you hungry or not ?
Averie gets up and follows Kiro into the dining room . Before they enter Kiro turns to Averie and says:
-Do not mention any thing we talked about , understood ?
-As you wish .
-They both enter , Luchia was waiting for them impatiently .
-Finally , I thought you two would never finish .
-Here we are , would you serve the lunch please ?
-Certainly
Luchia had made freshly baked white bread baguette with bowls of whipped butter , she had also roasted chicken .
-Looks delicious , come on eat up .
They start eating , everyone seems to enjoy the food .
-This is amazing , I never tasted something like this before .
-I think he has the same opinion as you .
Kiro had already finished his plate .
-Good job Luchia.
-Well now I have to go , I have to take care of the garden.
-Now that you mention it , can I help you .
-It wouldn't hurt .
-Wait for me in the living room , it's the room in the front of this room .
Kiro follows Luchia outside and notices that flowers had begun blossoming .
-Do you like it , all they needed was love and a little bit of water .
-I never thought this garden would have the slightest hope of blossoming .
-I guess you were wrong , I wanted to ask you a question .
-What is it?
-Why are there tombstones in the garden ?
- There lies the previous owner of this mansion along side with his two servants .
Luchia seems disturbed , but then she asks
-I want to know who you are.
-Where did this come from.
-It's the least I could know about you .
-Maybe it's the time you should know. They call me the reaper , the one who caused the carnage at Hoggler tower and the one responsible for the major assassinations that have happened in the capital .
Luchia had gone pale , she knew he wasn't kidding . The only person she trusted turned out to be the person she least expected .
-Well now that you know ...
-I asked you , who are you really ?
Kiro holds back , he remains silent .
-I trust you , I really trust you , why won't you trust me. Why won't you...
-My name is Kiro , and I trust you . I hope that everyday I enter my mansion I will find you there , smiling . You are one of the only persons I care about and I mean it . If you want to leave you are free to go , but I have to let you know , I care about you as much as you care about me.
Luchia can't hold her tears , she comes towards Kiro and she hugs him while weeping.
-Why are you crying?
-I don't know , i just feel like it.
Kiro hugs her back and says:
-So you will continue to stay here ?
-Somebody has to take care of you .
-I'm glad that person is you .
Since that moment Kiro couldn't see Luchia just as a servant. Luchia wiped the tears off her face and they both entered the mansion .
-Luchia .
-Yes
-Would you make me a cup of basil tea.
She seemed pleased to hear Kiro say that.
-Of course .
She heads to the kitchen to prepare Kiro's tea , meanwhile Kiro enters the living room where Averie was waiting for him.
-Now we will set off early in the morning tomorrow , Would you mind telling me where can I find you father? either that or you'll become a slave.
-It seems I don't have a choice , the castle where my father's castle in lies on the middle of the Bethea's forest .
-Good , you may spend the night here if you wish
-Like I have any other choice .
-You have , you can sleep outside , in the garden.
-Show me my room .
-As you wish.
Kiro leads Averie to the room she rested before.
-Well , you should rest , a long way awaits us.
-Goodnight .
Kiro leaves and heads to the living room . He runs into Luchia on the way .
-Here is your tea.
-Thanks.
They both enter the living room , they sit near the fireplace.
-Luchia , I want you to forget the fact that I'm an assassin , could you do that for me?
-I already forgot about that , could you please not remind me that?
-I'm sorry , I'l make sure about that.
