Chapter 8 - Ch 8

" Marie doesn't-".

" AAHH".

" yell". She tried to gesture to Marie not to scream but failed miserably.

Marie screamed at the top of her lungs noticing the strange man on her lady's bed just as she wanted to scream more, her lady covered her mouth with her hand as her screams became muffled.

" HELP INTRUDER HOLDING MY LADY HOST---".

" Hmph".

" SHHH, Marie come down and listen to me". Elizabeth [bedelia] uttered as she calmed Marie down.

" He's not an intruder, okay, or though it may seem like that".

" It's just a misunderstanding, so please calm down".

" Have you calmed down ". She asked after a few seconds.

" Uh-huh".

She mumbled while nodding her head.

" Why do I feel like I'm calming down a distressed puppy". She thought.

" On the count of three, I'm going to release you, 1,2,3".

She spoke to Marie noticing her face turned red noticing she couldn't breathe.

She released Marie as she stepped back and sat down on the floor while the release Marie could finally breathe properly again.

"Thank you, my lady".

Just then she could hear footsteps and a knock on the door a guard came to her door asking what was going on as he heard screams earlier.

" My lady is everything alright we heard screams so I came to check".

'Sorry, my lady'. Marie whispered truly sorry with her head down like a dejected puppy.

" Nothing just some games between us girls, you can go back to your post".

" Understood, my lady".

The guard left-back to post and gradually his footsteps disappeared to which they all sighed in relief.

" phew, that's a relief".

" But you could've done something instead of just there".

She spoke to the black hair man sitting there on the bed acting like it didn't concernn him.

" But you were handling it just fine".

" You know what want never mind but why is your hair black".

" Do you like it, I was thinking of changing my eye color too".

" Not the time to be doing whatever that is".

She stated as she watched him bringing out several random things from his realm.

"Ahem, my lady excuse my impudence but who is he".

" Should I tell her, of course, I should after all magic contract duh"?

She thought as she smacked her head at the realization of the signed magic contract unless Marie wants to perish then she won't tell anyone.

"He's a magic beast his name is Boreas".

She uttered nonchalantly as pointed at him while the hand mark on her head started to turn red.

" *gulp* A-a M-magic B- beast ".

Marie stammered as took a look at the dazzling man having tea right now that he brought from thin air after a while she finally came to terms with it.

" With exception of the royal family, I thought magic beast hardly came to our realm after the hunting of them took place".

" Well you're not wrong boreas is a special case".

" Oh, It must be because my lady is so awesome".

" Aww, thank you".

' she so sweet'. Elizabeth thought.

"But can you get me something for this it's starting to sting"? She spoke as she pointed towards the hand mark on her head.

" Right away, my lady".

Marie quickly excused her to get the ice for her lady's throbbing head that turned into a not so pretty color, Marie came back with the ice with which her lady put on her sore head.

" My lady, shouldn't we call a doctor".

" No need after a while I'll be fine".

" Are you sure".

" Don't worry about it".

" If you say so".

After a while, Elizabeth felt better but Marie kept staring at her like she wanted to say something mostly because her eyes were saying ' notice me'.

" Marie do you have anything to say".

" Not really".

" Just say what's on your mind".

" What are we going to do about him". Marie pointed towards the man sipping on his tea and eating cake as he watched the situation in amusement.

" I was planning on having him as my butler".

" Eeh". Boreas responded

" But to be a butler in this mansion he must go through a series of tests for which he doesn't have any experience, my lady".

" That's why I'll counting on for that".

" Why are you making this decision without the person involved". He spoke bewildered with cake crumbs on his face.

" Because you keep using us as a source of entertainment".

" Fair enough".

" From now on, I put this beautiful ' crazy' man in your hands take good care of him".

" Do I get a raise for this"? She said as she assessed him from head to toe.

" If you turn him into a functional butler then why not". She said with a smile on her face.

" Let's go". Marie stated as she dragged boreas to the corner of the room and so the training begins.

After a few days, he was ready for the butler assessment to which he passed with flying colors after disappearing crying, blood, sweat, tears mostly his all thanks to our beloved Marie.

" Congratulations on being a full-fledged butler".

" Are you sure that girl is not a demon in disguise". He spoke terrified just thinking about it even though he was the one who suggested this assessment to the first head.

" Pretty sure she isn't but then again I don't know".

" Anyway let's get down to business, I need you to teach me magic". She spoke as she stared into his eyes.

" I thought all descendants of Bedelia are taught magic".

" That's because the original was said to not have possessed mana".

" It could be that because this body was to be used as a vessel for your soul". He whispered so she couldn't hear.

"But can you teach me".

" It's going to be difficult".

" But why?".

"Your soul takes and also generates mana faster than human as its original vessel was an immortal body which could handle the mana generated, it's also don't help that the previous vessel didn't have a magic core, honestly speaking if it keeps going like this".

" Why the suspense".

" You could implode".

" What do you mean by imploding".

"Since mana has nowhere to go it's building up inside you, it's was a for the original couldn't take in or generate mana so it didn't matter that she didn't have a core".

" So what I'm is, I could die".

" Pretty much".

" Then do something about it".

" Why should I ". He said.

" You know I kinda want to strangle you".
