บท 20: Spicy Fragrance
'What black aura is that?' Even though it was faint, Alicia could clearly see the strange aura creeping out. This was the first time she had seen that, and it immediately sent goosebumps all over her body.
She had difficulty distinguishing whether the aura was due to a hallucination created by her fear or if it was actually happening. She couldn't be sure!
Whichever it was, what is certain is that the terrible appearance directly attacked Alicia's weak psyche. She started to believe Rufus' words that Young Master was awful. Still, she didn't expect that she was already frightened before she met Young Master directly.
'The person in this room is very dangerous! I'm not strong enough to continue this meeting! Haven't even met him yet his aura of threat is already this big.' Alicia began to realize why Young Master could be in such an isolated place. Her life might be in danger if she continued to meet the person behind the door.
Her negative thoughts continued to fill the girl's head, who had been overcome by fear. She couldn't think straight other than to think of a way to escape from that place without meeting the Young Master. 'This is dangerous. There's no way a human could give off such a strange aura... I take back what I said earlier. I want to get out of here!!'
When Alicia's mind became confused, she was immediately calmed by a soft pat, which made Alicia come out of her train of thought. "...Miss Alicia?"
"Ha, ha, ha…." Alicia gasped and almost cried after regaining consciousness. But because she lowered her head, so Rufus wouldn't see her frightened expression.
She, who lost consciousness for a moment, immediately checked her state. She saw that her hand hadn't reached the door handle, and she didn't know how long she had been frozen like that.
"Are you all right? You stayed at the door for a long time, don't make Young Master wait any longer. You must see him immediately." Rufus bent down to confirm the state of Alicia, who kept her head down.
Alicia didn't expect that she had been silent for long enough when her mind was filled with fear. But thanks to Rufus' clapping, she managed to control her mind again.
"Um, I'm fine. I just need a little preparation." Alicia tried to get rid of her frightened expression to not be seen mocking the Young Master in front of his servant.
"Good." Rufus looked relieved and walked back away from Alicia.
When she refocused her gaze on the door, the threatening aura had disappeared.
'The aura is gone?' She was sure that the black aura resulted from her disturbed mind and was filled with fear that she had hallucinations.
'No more time, Alicia! Suppress your fears and jump right in! It will be over before you know it.' Alicia tried to suggest she strengthen her heart again so that she was not easily controlled by her negative thoughts, resulting in hallucinations.
She closed her eyes and immediately opened the double door and entered before her fear invaded her mind again.
*Creaked*
The creak of the door accompanied Alicia's journey and made her even more unwilling to open her eyes. She had thought to keep her eyes closed so as not to increase her fear until her meeting was over.
'Yosh, I've made it into the Young Master's room.' Her initiative turned out to be successful. She didn't feel scared anymore even though she was now in the Young Master's room.
*click*
When Alicia closed her eyes, her sense of smell suddenly became stronger, and the fragrance that had filled the room began to be inhaled.
'The perfume has a sweet but slightly spicy fragrance.' Even though it smelled strange, she didn't expect it to smell that strong, and she liked it. The fragrance of fresh amber with a blend of fragrance pepper gives a distinctive aroma for men.
It does not mean that she will also like the owner if she likes the scent. She must not be fooled and must continue to strengthen her mind to think clearly.
It had been almost 3 minutes since she had been standing in the quiet room without anyone speaking to her. She knew that there were people in the room because she heard the sound of sheets of paper several times. But she was completely ignored.
'Come on say something, Young Master. I've tried so hard to hold back my fear, don't let me stay any longer.' Alicia realized that the longer she stayed in the room with people she didn't know, her fears and negative thoughts would resurface.
After Alicia said that in her heart, there was the sound of a book closing and a male voice in a slightly high-pitched voice.
"You're 8 minutes late."
