Chapter 18 - Help

"Well, Miss I was actually on my way to you just now." Arrare turned to Sasha. "Really? What for?" she inquired. Earlier today two maids came to help her get ready, they barely spoke and made her very uncomfortable. "Actually Miss, I've been appointed as your personal aide." she smiled wide. "Oh my, that's wonderful." Sasha sighed inwardly.

"Yes, I'll attend to your meals, baths and any other thing you may need assistance with." "That's great, Sasha embraced her warmly. "Yes it is, may I tag along." Arrare offered. "Sure, of course." Thank goodness, she just couldn't believe her luck. The only two people in this place who were actually nice to her and who were on her side were appointed to aid and protect her. She felt extremely good inside. At least she wouldn't be lonely and depressed..

..."Wow!" Sasha marvelled at the large expanse of the books in the library. The walls were lined with shelves of books and it seemed there was no end to them. "May I know exactly what you're looking for, Miss?" Luc followed her into the grand Library asking if she would need assistance. "Anything on this world, mana, and magical artefacts." She had meticulously planned it out. She had taken the Shaman's advice to try and get more information on how things worked here. Who knows she might find a way to get back home in one of these books. "I'll help you search then." Luc offered and left to look in another aisle. "Ah! I should help too." Arrare also quickly scurried off. Sasha just smiled and shook her head.

"Urgh!" Arrare stood on her tiptoes trying to reach a book that was on the highest shelf. Unfortunately, her height got the better of her and she grunted in frustration. Then out of nowhere... "Let me get it." Luc stood behind her and merely stretched his arm to pick up the book.

"Here" he handed it over to her. "Thank you " she immediately turned bright red. Earlier on he had been so close and could smell his spicy masculine scent and feel the warmth of his body towering over hers.
