I shouldn't have let him off so easily! I greeted my teeth in anger.
A moment ago...
"...". Ervius was shocked that he couldn't utter any word.
".... Right, in a few days, I will pay you a visit", he said.
Present day,
That few days have been four days, now!
...*Sigh*.
I spent my time with studies. Studying this unfamiliar place, the unfamiliar creatures, and unfamiliar things. Although there was some unnecessary information, most of the information helped me in understanding this unfamiliar world.
"Ms. Johanna?", the scholar asked me.
"Y-yes?", I answered right away.
"I see you can't focus today, so let's end our lesson for today."
The word "I'm sorry" is the only thing I said.
His last words awoken me up. This was the time when their guard on me was loosened the most and it is almost mealtime. I smiled happily and waved him a goodbye.
Now, I need to go out. Any footsteps? Or any signs of a person? There is no one. Like a spy, I slowly go outside the room. It was easy, but as soon as I arrived at the stairs, I could hear someone walking up. Also, I could hear the footsteps from the far side of the corridor.
"Arghh!". I hid behind a plant on the corner, as I hear Ervius talking to another man.
"When will you start working properly before I point out the mistakes?", he said angrily.
"I-I'm sorry, sir", the reply of the other man.
"There is no point for an apology-", then the voice suddenly seized.
"Do they know that I'm here?", I closed my eyes tightly as a shadow slowly casted over me. Soon, someone dragged me out. Ervius was coldly glaring down on me.
"Sir, this woman is you-...", the man said.
"Stop", Ervius said.
The man quickly disappeared.
I was a little embarrassed. Ervius stared at me and sighed.
"Where were you heading to?", he asked.
I still couldn't figure out what emotion he was trying to show.
Ervius' face frowned slightly.
"Well, in case you have forgotten, I have a name."
"And I am heading to you Ervius, or should I say, Prince Ervius."
Then he sighed again with a face as if he had given up on me.
"So, you said you need me?", he then replied.
I nodded frantically. We need to talk.
"That's all you need, then?", he asked.
And I said, "Of course!".
As soon as I nodded, Ervius pinched my clothes and was dragged to an unknown place.
