Depressed Girl

After that We stayed there for a night, somehow Albert's mood was not good in morning, 'why?', don't ask me I couldn't understand him at all.

"Here, taste this ah ....." I fed Silvy with spoon at dining table.

...?

'was it because of me, that Albert mood was bad' I thought to myself but still, it didn't stop me, after all she looked too cute, when I fed her.

Last night When she got to know that I was going to stay, she seemed very excited, because this was her first time when a friend came to her house for a night stay, we played at night, but as we were kid, sleep got us early.

"Here, Veronica have some too"Veronica was also sitting with us, cause Silvy forced her, and Marquess Albert, didn't want to hurt her daughter feelings, so he didn't say anything.

But Veronica seemed too nervous, as it was her first time eating with nobels, so I also offered her some food.

"Veronica say ah...." I teased her.

Seeing me, her face looked red, because of shame, nervousness and slightly anger, cause I treated her like child

"M-master, I will eat by myself" Veronica said politely but seeing her angered gaze, I reluctantly let go of teasing.

After that we ate our morning breakfast peacefully and it was time to go back to Zevar my home town.

Silvy seemed reluctant, but I hugged her (obviously when Albert was not around) and said that I would visit her soon, as I had to come again for business.

After that i bid farewell to Silvy and entered in carriage with Veronica, she was silent the whole time, it was out of her nature, maybe she didn't want to embarrassed me.

So I started teasing her "oh, Veronica why are you so silent, I really miss your sweet voice".

She glared at me, and said "Master, you are becoming cheeky day by day, i-i just didn't want to disturb you and your sweet and lovely friend".

She said last line with mischievous smile.

'Sheesh, she fired back at me, huh' I thought to myself what to say at this moment.

"Ohh, I get it now, don't be jealous Veronica, afterall you are also my sweet friend" I started patting her head, like consoling a jealous child.

Seeing my action, her face turned beet red, she slapped my hand and turned her head away "W-what, are you saying, why should I feel lonely withou....". She didn't complete her sentence and covered her face with her hand.

"....." Did I guessed wrong, was she really jealous because I hugged Silvy, after all I was not a naive person, so I understood.

"forget.... this" she said something in meek voice, I didn't hear it.

"Huh...." I looked at her with confusion.

"Forget what I said just now" she said, this time with slightly audible voice.

Seeing her all embarrassed, I didn't pursued this matter further, 'hehe, I will tease her later about this' I thought to myself.

After sometime, I started feeling dizzy again because of this carriage, gosh, next time I would have to start a business of fitting springs in these carriages.

I again laid down, putting my head on Veronica's lap, this time I informed her earlier.

/----------------------

In some other place, you could see a mansion barely luxurious, and too small in size, there were only few servants in the mansion.

In one of the room, you could see a sad little girl, her mood is down, she was wearing one piece white dress, she had Red hairs and brown eyes, her face was snow white.

Suddenly the room of door opened and beautiful woman entered, she was not as beautiful as Silver and Celina, but still looked better than normal womens, she had Red hairs and brown eyes, you could say that this woman was older version of this little girl. She was wearing a brown gown with white knee length overcoat.

"Malina, you are still sad about that thing, just forget about that, now" older woman said.

Yes, this little girl was Malina Rimare, and the older women was her Mother Baroness, Salina Rimare.

(A/N:- both parents had same last name.)

And this place was house of weakest (7th) baron, Falinaok Rimare, he was not born Nobel but acquired this title from his late father, who got this title from Duke for his achievements as Knight commander.

Falinaok became the baron of the village named, Piranga, after his father died due to illness.

"Mother, It was because of me that Duke Grevevemit was disgraced, he tried to save me, and I was not even able to say sorry to him" Malina said in sad tone, she went to the party with her father, but she didn't knew that Artemis would bully her there too.

Artemis knew her because her Father's village comes under Count's inspection land, and Count palace was not far away from here, because of this, he got to know about her fire Magic talent from rumours.

At first she was happy that her talent and control in fire Magic was quite good, but after some time her talent became nightmare for her, She was afraid that for her talent, Artemis would force her family to make her, his concubine.

But she could not do anything, that's why, she always dreamed of a Prince warrior, who would save her for all her troubles, and at party she first time felt her heartbeat faster than ever, as she saw Greve's handsome face, he came and saved her just like she always dreamt of.

But when she thought about his status, her heart felt pain, cause he had way to higher status than, would he ever become interested in her??.

But she just couldn't give up, maybe her talent would come in handy now, she might reach ultimate height, and then her status might be enough, and after that they would live happier together.

She promised to herself to always try harder to achieve what she wanted.

"...so don't be sad anymore".

She looked at her mother's worried face, Who still was consoling her and said.

"Okay mother, I will not be sad anymore, and will try harder, so one day I can meet him and apologize to him".

Back to the Zevar.

After hours of traveling, Carriage stopped at the Duke mansion and then I and Veronica stepped out of carriage, but this was not the end of the day, as I wanted to become an adventurer, because only in life and death fight, I would be able to grow otherwise even if I train with knights, I might panic in real fight.

(A/N:- like solving questions at home is easier than in exam hall, and answering to a friend's questions is easier than answering an interviewer.)

So I have to visit adventurer guild and make my card.

After informing my parents about my business deal, I went to the guild with Veronica in commoners outfit, and dyed my hair red, cause I didn't to cause any commotion.

After that when I reached the guild, I got to know that, you had to be above 10 yrs old to became a guild members, and thanks to my overgrown height, I looked like a 10 yrs old kid,but I registered as 11 yrs old and Veronica also registered and became my party member.

After which I went to the first floor of dungeon with my fighting equipment on.
