Karna fully recovered from the backlash of the 'soul summoning' after some days of rest. During this time, Aisha would especially make Rudra's favorite food and personally feed him. But this only increased the guilt in Karna's heart. One must know that when someone doesn't get something very easily and then suddenly they receive it out of nowhere then its value would be a hundred times more in the person's heart. Karna was the same, because he was lonely in his past life he did not want to lose the warmth and love he was receiving, there were many times when he almost revealed that 'Rudra' was already gone... but he was afraid of rejection. At last, he decided to wait and decide later what to do.
When Karna finally gained some strength and began to move around, he first decided to learn more about the new world he was in. Although he had all the memories of Rudra it was also true that Rudra did not bother much about history, he always believed that the future was more important so he had very basic knowledge about the world, Karna did not want to get confused so he decided to have a crash course in history, and while doing that he would naturally learn more about the world. One day he said to Lara,
"Uh, Lara... show me to the library."
Lara felt strange, Rudra was speaking differently. And most importantly, did he forget where the library was?
with a puzzled look, she asked,
"Young Lord, do you not know where the library is?"
"Huh? uh, my memory is a bit fuzzy." He lied through his teeth.
Lara looked at Karna suspiciously, she definitely felt that something was strange but couldn't put a finger on it, she even forgot that she was staring at him for a while and that Rudra was looking at her dumbly too. Otherwise, she would have gotten even more suspicious.
"Come with me, Young Lord," she said.
This was the first time when Karna went outside his room after he was 'Summoned' into this world, that's because although he was alive but even so he had no strength, not to mention the splitting headaches.
Lara and Karna both were walking in the corridors. The mansion was huge, and many maids, servants, and slaves could be seen working here and there. Yes, slaves! Karna was very surprised at first. He did not think slavery was allowed in this world. thinking this, he felt even more of a need to know about this world.
After passing many rooms, both arrived near the garden. One had to admit that the Zarx family was really rich. Expensive antiques and portraits were all over the mansion as decoration. The corridor's floors were occupied with clean and shining carpets, the walls were carved with beautiful patterns and Designs. Karna also noticed that the servants were using some machines for their respective works, he realized from Rudra's memories that these were the 'Magic Tools'.
Magic Tools were made by The Magician apprentices who did not succeed much in the path of magic. but even so, Magic Tools were used by many people so they earned a decent amount of living.
The library finally arrived after a lot of walking. The Zarx Mansion was divided into three layers, the first and outer layer which was used as living quarters for servants and slaves, and the middle layer where the mansion's kitchen, indoor garden, library, and other facilities with guest rooms, halls, banquet room, ballroom were located. This was the biggest part of the mansion. And the third layer was where the Zarx family, Butler Sebastian lived. There was also the Treasury and the Lord's office In this area, this part of the mansion was restricted and only a few trustworthy servants were allowed for cleaning and other purposes. The library building and the indoor Garden were both side by side in the second layer's open square. This created a marvelous image of Books and greenery together.
Karna naturally saw the Greenhouse dome and instantly realized that it must be the garden. he went inside.
It was as if he arrived in a completely different world. The first thing he felt was that the temperature was different than the outside, the inside was a bit green because the dome filtered the sun rays, then he saw the various plants and flowers which looked completely different from the earth. This piqued Karna's interest.
At that moment, an old man walked out of a small cabin, the surprise was written all over his face when he saw 'Rudra'. he spoke,
"Y-Young Lord!?"
Karna knew something was off. After thinking, he realized that the previous owner of the body never came to this place. he said with a smile,
"Relax, I came here to blow off some steam after the illness."
now the old man should have relaxed, but he became even more terrified instead. Actually, the old man would have been fine but he became terrified because of the smile. The reason was simple, Rudra smiled very rarely, but everyone knew that Rudra would smile when he was very pissed off, this smile was specially reserved for his enemies.
Karna did not know why the old man became terrified. he indeed had Rudra's memories but they were not his, which means he did not live those events. So it was more like a record than a memory, he had to search through the memories to find something. This was also the reason that he did not want to rely on Rudra's memories.
Lara was also surprised by Rudra's attitude and his smile. Usually, he wouldn't have bothered to explain or speak at all for that matter, but she knew that he had smiled previously when he first woke up. She concluded that Rudra's behavior must have changed after the near-death experience, 'Poor Young Lord' she thought foolishly.
"Sir Kruger, Why don't you show the garden to the Young Lord?" she said, hoping to resolve the situation.
Kruger was an Old Man of 60 years old, He was a Spirit Gardner. In this world, there was a profession of 'Spirit Gardner'. Medicinal and precious plants needed precise care and only people with Nature affinity Mana could do this job. Kruger was one of them, he had been working for the Zarx Family since he was 40 years old. Now he just wanted to live the rest of his days in peace. People in this world had 125 years of life expectancy, and only Demi-God or God ranked had more than 300-500 Years of life expectancy respectively, however, it varied from person to person.
Maybe because The Old Man was still terrified, but he diligently explained the uses of all plants and answered every question patiently.
The Old Man and Lara both were already very surprised seeing 'Rudra' so curious and attentive but their jaws completely dropped when Karna suddenly said, "Teach me more about these medicinal plants from tomorrow!"
Was the sun rising from the east? What's going on? how come the Young Lord suddenly wants to learn about Plants? They could not think of any explanation.
'The Young Lord must be traumatized by his illness and that's why he wants to learn about the medicinal plants.' Lara again made her conclusion. the Human mind worked like this, if there is no logical explanation for something then the brain will surely find one reason or another to justify the action.
Both Lara and Kruger looked at Karna with sympathy, 'Poor Young Lord' They thought.
