章節 65: Sixty-Five

Anyways, there hasn't been any major advances on stopping kidnapping and enslaving, even after I was kidnapped. Honestly it's only gotten worse from our perspective because we were seeing actually able to see it now. Anyways, the reason I was actually able to work was because my guard dog wasn't currently here, he was helping his Majésty with something. Naturally I was not allowed to leave my room until he came back. Yep, so I was currently breaking the 'no-working during these times' rule. I looked over it and then stretched when a hand flashed over my shoulder and snagged the paperwork. I turned to see Lieutenant Cross standing behind me reading over it. I couldn't help but scowl at him. After reading the first couple of lines his face broke into a grin and he looked down on me.

"So you realize you can't work anymore right?" I admit I punched him. I also admit it hurt, a lot. He seemed surprised that I lashed out, but then more worried about the fact that I was holding my hand and crouched down afterwards.

"Rose, are you alright?" Damn you. I bet you didn't even notice my punch. Curse you... My knuckles were bright red and swelling up. I think I broke it... Cross then leaned down and carefully took my hand and studied it.

"How did you even manage that?" I scowl at him but he simply stares at me in admiration. I swear if there is a God(s?) then it is messing with me. I was then carried to the magic infirmary where we happened to cross paths with the King.

"What happened?" He asks, spying me holding my hand and scowling at Cross. Cross explained everything and the King chuckled. Then after taking the paperwork I had done, which Cross still had on him, left to go do work.

Later on after my hand had been healed I was walking to the library when Cross suddenly spoke.

"You can't work so why are you going to the library?" He asks, and I huff at him.

"You don't just read for work! Are you that simple-minded?" He looked taken aback but then replied back,

"So what are you going for?" I sighed and then replied,

"Reading the individual aristocracies histories and all the Noble histories. I need to memorize them anyways~ So get used to the library because we'll be there every morning until the prince comes to get us~" I reply and he groans. He hated the openness of the library, but he couldn't argue, and he knew he couldn't convince me.

"Why won't you just play like a normal girl?" He whined and I smile before skipping ahead towards the library.
