Chương 21: Physical Examination
Alicia flinched slightly and immediately lowered her head deeper. Even though it was only the sound of books, the room was quiet, and it made the sound of books 2 times louder than usual. Moreover, it was continued by the Young Master's voice that sounded annoyed.
Footsteps were heard from quite a distance away. Even thinking positively was useless, Alicia still felt scared and nervous as the sound of footsteps continued to approach.
She knew her hands were shaking from that, but she didn't want Young Master to see it. Dealing with her fear, Alicia immediately put her hands in front of her stomach and gripped her palms tightly.
"I-I'm sorry." Alicia stuttered as she tried to answer the Young Master's annoyance.
Despite apologizing, there was no response from the Young Master. She was ignored again.
She was getting more nervous when she felt someone already a few inches near her. The fresh and spicy Amber Fragrance was also getting stronger. There was nothing she could do other than keep her head down and look calm even though her heart was in turmoil.
Even though she thought the Young Master would say something to Her, the sound of Young Master's footsteps came back.
'Where will he go?' The sound of his shoes was heard circling her as if her appearance was being judged. This made her grip her palms even tighter. She wasn't sure her appearance would be liked by Young Master, who lived in a luxurious palace.
'Stay calm. Don't make any sudden moves. It'll be fine if I can just hold on like this until the end... There's no need to be afraid, remember he is my savior. I'm sure he won't do anything bad to me.' Alicia strengthened her mind and heart to not be led by her fear and anxiety.
But the foundation that she had built with all her might slowly began to crumble as the Young Master stopped his footsteps behind her.
'W-what is him trying to do?!' She could only guess and prepare for whatever Young Master wanted to do.
"Eh!" Her voice inadvertently leaked out as Young Master's fingers touched her hair. It didn't stop there. One by one, the hairpins that held her bun also started to be gently removed by him.
She didn't know what he was aiming for, but her mind was even more confused when her exposed neck was hit by the breath of the Young Master. That part was really vulnerable to external touch, and it tickled her shyly.
Even though she could feel ticklish, she couldn't express the feeling of being tickled at all.
It happened because there were many things she felt at one time. Anxiety, nervousness, amusement, and embarrassment all gathered together in her mind. It made the girl still holding back the turmoil confused to react.
She only hoped that Young Master could finish playing with her hair faster and walk away. That's so ticklish!
There were about 8 hairpins in her bun, and it took the Young Master more than 2 minutes to remove them all. And she could feel that Young Master's fingers were starting to untwist her hair, and finally, she was removing her hair tiering.
When her ponytail is untied, her previously exposed neck is now covered by her hair. After smoothing her hair and stroking it a few times, the Young Master took her hand away and was silent for a while, then spoke in a soft tone.
"Hmm, I thought... Now you can go back to your room." With the gentle tone of the Young Master giving orders, his voice also grew smaller as he walked away from her.
Although relieved that her torture was over, Alicia felt irritated after hearing Young Master's words, and her emotions broke out.
"W-wait, this is indeed rude... But, what do you know after seeing my hair? Please tell me." Alicia didn't really think about saying that. Still, the words came out on their own due to her suppressed emotional turmoil for a long time. She was annoyed that after a long time, she endured the embarrassment. Still, apparently, he just opened her hair bun and said something strange.
"Nothing, I don't like your messy hair... Ask Belle to help you tidy it up." His voice was completely flat and seemed to be driving her away. But one thing she knew was, she didn't feel any emotion from his voice at all.
Alicia was dissatisfied with the Young Master's answer, as it was not the answer she wanted to know.
She knew that Young Master had asked her to leave his room, but after hearing Young Master's gentle voice and good manners, she felt brave to speak to him. She wanted to know some facts about what had happened to him.
