Glenn

After they arrived at the mansion, Elle asked some maids to attend to the man.

"No need to milady"

"I insist mister. You are in our house so it's our duty to attend to our visitor don't you think?", Elle gave him a smile.

He was still not convinced but he suddenly says okay when he saw how her brother glared at him. His face was saying just-do-it-or-else.

Elle smiled when the man follows the maids.

"Elle you better explain this to father"

"Of course. He is my responsibility after all", she nodded. Michael just sighs of his sister's action. She always had this compassion towards others and that's what got him worried.

"You never changed", he squeezes the cheeks of Elle and Elle just responded happily.

"I forgot to ask you. Is your body okay?", he let go of her cheeks.

"Why you ask?", Elle tilted her head.

"Because you just go out and you are with me"

"You mean the magical aura that some people possessed like you?"

Michael nodded at this statement.

This was the main reason why he and his father couldn't visit her even though they wanted to. Like the magical surrounding the environment, the magical aura that people possessed is also one of the factors that affect her. The stronger the aura, the weaker her body responds.

His aura and Mr. Will aura was strong since they are knights. The more they train their physical health, the more their aura got stronger.

Having this fact worried him. Even though her sister got discharged a few days ago, it still has some risk.

Elle just sighed and grab a hold of her brother's hands.

"Do not worry brother. If I feel something weird, I will tell you right away"

"Good", he patted her head gently. "Now that this question has been answered, you should go to our father. He should know what happened"

"How about you?"

Michael adjusted his clothes and reappear his sword and tack it on his left side.

"I have to report this case to the prince. This kind of incident where humans are being treated like this is despicable. It should be taken early"

"Okay. Just be careful"

Michael smiled at her and glance at the directions where the beggar went off to.

"Even though you pick that guy, you should be wary at all times"

"*sigh*... I said do not worry. Just go on brother", she pushes him out the door and wave at him.

"I see you later", he nodded his head as a goodbye and went inside the carriage and left with it.

"Now that he left, I should go to father", Elle quickly fasten her pace and went to his father's office.

When her father saw her, he was happy. But he notices that her daughter didn't come for a chat for she wears a serious face.

Then she reported everything that happened a while ago. Her father face turned serious and obviously upset because of those men.

They dare to threaten my daughter!

Then he heard about the beggar. Her father didn't like it at first because he was a stranger. But Elle insisted and he said yes. But he needs to learn his identity.

"Don't worry about that. I will take care of that matters for you"

"Just be careful okay?"

Elle nodded at him and said goodbye.

"Now that settled, should we see mister?", Elle began to stride toward the room that he was in.

When she was in front of the door, she firstly inhales and exhales.

Yes, I pick him up but there is the side of a human that will betray someone that saved them. Like brother said, I should be wary of him. But I don't want to alarm him that I am suspicious of him... No...

She relaxes her muscles and erased that thought. I should only be myself.

She knocks at the door gently waiting for his response.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, mister"

When she replied she heard some running footsteps. She got surprised when the door suddenly opens.

"How are you-"

She was about to ask about his condition when she saw something amazing. She never knew that the beggar she picks would be quite handsome.

His hair which is pretty long was the color of the night sky and his eyes were like the ocean. It suits him.

"Young miss?"

"Ahem... I was about to ask if you are available right now?"

The man nodded as he locked the door behind him. He was wearing her brother's old clothes. White polo shirt and a black slack.

She led her to the gazebo inside the garden. It was already nearly sunset. The view was particularly beautiful.

"Have a seat"

"Thank you, young miss", they sat opposite each other.

"Don't call me a young miss. Just call me Elle"

"Yes, Miss Elle"

Elle ordered the maids to bring them some snacks and to leave them alone after that.

While she was doing it, the man just stares at her.

She was very graceful and have a noble lady vibe. She was different from the girls she met before.

Noticing his eyes on her, Elle look back at him and smiled. "How was your condition? I ask some of the healers in the house to cure your wounds"

"I'm better than ever and it all thanks to you. I hugely owe you a debt", the man lowers his head to her.

The snacks and tea we're delivered and they were left alone. Elle just sips on her tea but the man never touches anything.

"Do not feel shy, I know you hungry. Just eat comfortably mister. Do not mind your manners. Since I am not strict in that area"

"It's not that milady"

"Then what is it?", she put her down her cup and look at him.

"I never thought that you will let me enter your house. I thought you will only drop me to some near hospital. And also, I'm a complete stranger. You have no worries when you pick me up but unlike your brother who is wary of me"

Elle sighed at this and rest her elbow on the table.

"Well, not everyone would pick up a beggar. But do not compare me to them. I have good eyes when it comes to people. I saw a lot of you beggar out there but out of them, I only pick you. Why is that? I also don't know but there's something on you that makes me decided to pick you up"

"I do not understand milady"

"Me neither. But just treat it like doing some good deeds", she sips on her tea again.

"By the way, what's your name?"

The man lowers his head unsure if he needs to answer it.

"Its... Glenn milady"

"Glenn... what a good name"

"Thank you"

And then there was silence. Elle was contemplating if she should ask him his identity.

Out of habit, she began to tap her fingers on the table. It was the only sound that could be heard.

I should ask him now. The earlier, the better.
