Bab 2: Chapter 2
After Lancelot left Guinevere alone for his beloved Odette, she took a glance at the papers her brother gave to her awhile ago.
Well, since brother Lancelot is out with sis Odette, I don't have anyone to play with and nothing productive to do. Might as well read these...
I am not an assassin but the skills they offer might come handy.
Hmmm... I which would turn out to be useful? A fighter? Or a Mage?
As she was immersed in reading the papers, Guinevere felt someone approaching which should not be present. Why? Because in the first place, it's afternoon tea time and no one usually disturbs her at that time.
Well, except for important matters.
But nothing major had happened yet in the family recently... besides having the Paxleys marriage proposal months ago, that is.
Being cautious as she was supposedly reading "classified information", she covertly activated her magic and was about to launch an attack to the intruder when....
"Eh? Gusion?"
That's right, the person who entered the garden uninvited was the fourth son of the Paxleys, Gusion Paxley.
"Sorry for not telling you about my arrival" and Gusion smiled with a small guilt gnawing him.
He noticed earlier that the girl was immersed in her studies and he just disturbed her.
I should have waited until tea time is over, and not disturb her in the middle of important matters.
"I asked your personal maid if you're around. She told me to go here in the garden. I did not know you're busy, sorry for disturbing you, I'll just lea---" as he was about to turn and leave, Guinevere reached out to hold his arms.
"Oh. It's okay, it's okay. These are just papers given by brother Lancelot. My matters can wait. So, what's the reason for your visit?" and she neatly stacked the papers, and courteously led him to take a seat, as what the proper etiquette for tea party's host should have.
"Nothing. Uhmmm... I just wanted to visit you" and he scratched his head.
Guinevere felt like her cheeks are burning and her ears turning red, but she tried her best to calm down.
Ooof. If my brother would know that Gusion visited me after he left, he'll tease me for days...
Gusion just looked at her for a while while smiling, then he reached out to get a few papers and read them.
Guinevere did not noticed his actions.
"If you want to focus on being a mage, these agencies will do..."
Hearing him say something, she returned back to reality.
Huh? Is he trying to help me narrow down my choice? As expected from him.
Unlike my brother who's head is filled with either fencing or Sis Odette.
"What are the things you want to be present in an agency?" and he looked at her.
"I can always use lottery method" and she joked again. But this time, Gusion is patient, knowing that that was not what she's thinking to do.
He put up a "Don't- kid- with- me" look
"Gusion, are you trying to follow my brother's route?"
"What route?"
Waiting for her reply, he took a look at the mashed cake and returned his gaze back to her.
She picked a finger sandwich, took a bite, chewed it slowly and drank a bit of tea. She wiped her mouth using a handkerchief and looked at Gusion in the eyes.
"The route of nagging me for trying to carelessly choose an agency"
