Alexjin arrived after fifteen minutes to see a long line ahead of him, he thought someone was giving free food for the people to swarm so much. Riding his newly purchases carriage, he went to their house to see Geraldine's glowing hand heals a sick child and a mother whose crying in happiness.
"Master?" He called out as soon as he went down from the carriage.
"Oh my, you've arrived, you can start picking up your things and store it in the carriage, we'll go after I've finished healing them all.... and also assist your mother, she needs rest," Geraldine said while fixated in healing the person in front of her.
"Yes, master!"
Alexjin started loading their stuff and led his mother inside the carriage even though she wanted to assist his master.
"Is this your new owner kid? Man, you're d*mn lucky!" Their neighbor Ricardo patted Alexjin's back and both of them stared at Geraldine.
"She healed my wife for free and the rest of the folks living here, if that's some healer in town, this would cost a high price to pay!" He laughed while patted him again.
"Indeed, my master is a good person!" He proudly said with his eyes twinkled with pride.
"Her face is unfamiliar, is she new to town?" Ricardo asked while trying to remember if he has seen her before.
"Yes, she went to live here to practice her healing skills," Alexjin remembered his master's reply when he asked if she's new to this town.
*"Yes, I went to this town to practice my light element away from the prying eyes at my home."*
Alexjin thought that he didn't have much information regarding his master. All he knows is that she came to Bagyoo town to focus on her magic but what got him more curious is that she didn't want them to know her last name and the fact her name is Geraldine.
It is known throughout the Empire that the name Geraldine is only given to a daughter in nobility that possessed divine powers but from what he sees, she's not that powerful after all as Light element especially the healing magic is quite useless in people with nobility but it's a blessing to the peasants as they no longer need to buy medicine at a high price.
Knowing his master is named Geraldine, he has a suspension that she's a noble but who in their right mind would send their daughter far away from their home if she's a noble. Moreover, some peasants named their daughter Geraldine in hopes that they can use them to marry a man with titles.
After five hours of Geraldine's continuous healing, she was able to finish all of those in need. Her body is aching and she felt like her soul left her body.
"Lady, Thank you very much for your generosity!!!" The people yelled as she was about to leave.
"You're all welcome, stay safe!"

It's already six o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the house. Geraldine guided Aurelie to the other room next to hers as Alexjin unloaded their stuff and put it in the storage room first.
"Let me cook dinner Geraldine," Aurelie said as soon as she laid in her bed, her body is still weak even though she was healed.
"Maybe soon, you can cook for us but now you need to rest and regain your strength back. Alexjin will bring your food after it was done, so please rest for now," Geraldine tucked her in as she snapped her finger, activating the sleeping spell because she knows that Aurelie would still insist to cook.
Going outside, she saw Alexjin unpacking their food and putting it on the table as he prepared food for dinner.
"Master, I've prepared tea and cookies for you while you wait for dinner," He said as soon as he spotted her, putting it on the table as Geraldine rested her tired b*tt in the chair.
"Thank you, so what's for dinner?" She asked as he takes out the ingredients.
Geraldine smiled as she noticed his face light up indicating that he wants to cook something, "You'll decide, surprised me."
After she said her words, Alexjin's eyes sparkled as he started cooking food with a joyful aura surrounding him.
"It's my mother's favorite, Curried chicken soup, I hope you'll like it," He placed the bowl that contains the soup in the middle of the table and grabs another bowl for her mother.
"She's currently sleeping but you can just wake her up, she needed to eat after all," She said when she sees hesitation in Alexjin's eyes when he saw her mother sleeping.
"O-okay."
----
"Alexjin, as we'll be together for a long time, I hope we'll get along well," Geraldine said as they both eating at the table.
"Huh? of course master, I'll do my best," He said in a happy tone, like a puppy that just got out of his cage.
Geraldine remained silent as she observed him, "Tomorrow, hire a builder to create another room attached outside the house in this design," She pulled out a paper with the room's design and gives it to him, "It will be my new room. My current room will be yours after this will be done so that you can stay close to your mother and take care of her."
"Thank you for your considerations master! I'll do it first thing tomorrow morning!"
After their conversation ended, both of them remained silent as they keep eating. Geraldine knows that Alexjin is hiding something that he didn't want others to know, he's the same as hers.
Both of them are hiding secrets.
Later that night, Geraldine was awoken by the sound coming from outside, her senses are high on alert as she felt a strong killing intent within the area. She took a peek at her window to see Alexjin dragging an unconscious man by his hair as his eyes are glowing in the middle of the night.
