Illyum left their senseless argument with a compromise and pushed out Rishta with a list of the ingredients.
"Been quite a while ever since I last saw the sun."
I put a hand to defend myself from the evil eye burning sunlight from destroying my pale melanin void skin.
Just joking, I am not that fair. At least, not as fair as a vampire.
It is just that I have stayed locked down for quite a while.
"Good afternoon Professor, " A random shy passer-by student said as he quickly ran away.
"Don't trip on your way." I returned the common courtesy.
So, it's noon.
I rushed down the blue and white hallways and went to the reception area with a beautiful lady ignoring the old man on the other one.
"As handsome as always, 'Student-professor',", said one of my very first friends at the academy.
In the beginning, I always took that as a compliment but time told me that they were mocking me for my natural hairstyle.
"Receptionist, do I have any letters?"
"Who is receptionist?" she argued.
"Lina, do I have any letters? "
She handed out a bunch of letters.
"Are all of them mine?" I asked with suspiciousness.
"Deliver the other ones since the staff responsible is absent and I have to take over."
"What?"
She put a 'on break' sign, put out her little tongue and went away.
So I just collected mine, threw rest in dust bin and went away.
It is the first time she played this trick on me.
At least half of them were mine.
I went back to my room to check all the letters one by one and licked the door.
So, about forty of the letters, thirty two are from a certain someone named Natalia, seven are from my home, and last one is from... unknown source.
I opened the letter since it could be something important.
"Do you want to play a game?" was all it said.
I threw the prank paper in the unused bin of the kitchen waste.
I opened the letter two letters from my family.
"Illyum, take leave for one month and come back home for the festival."
"Illyum, just fifteen days are remaining so come back otherwise I won't hesitate to break-in in that supposedly unbreakable castle."
They were the letters from mother and father respectively.
All the remaining ones are the letters from my sweetheart, Natalia.
I put them all in a suitcase while smiling deciding that it is not necessary to write letter if I am going back in just four days.
Just after this final experiment.
"Illyum open up! I heard from the receptionist that my letters are with you."
Oh fuck...
"In the compartment beside reception." I screamed out without opening the door.
"Which one? I have never see any." He shouted back.
I stood up, opened the door and said, just go and see, I need to sleep after putting up several all-nighters.
I just hope he will find his letters.
For now, I need to rest.
I will probably sleep for two days straight at least, until that knight comes back.
"What's this smell? "
