Chapter 123 - Mini Library

Maleesa was dumbfounded when she saw what damage Seer caused to those Robbers.

Most of the times when she saw Seer, he was carrying thick doc.u.ments, risking grey hair sorting everything out and often Guards following him.

She also noticed that Seer avoids eye Contact when talking to her. Causing suspicion but no doubt also courage to cause a date with him. She knew what was going on and him accepting the date, proved it.

But when Seer struck down 2 Robbers as if they were no challenge at all, she couldn't help but wonder how such a small and thin man can fight that well.

But yet again, she always saw Seer wearing neetly fitting Black Torsos made of silk, reaching almost to the knees. Fortunately he was wearing black breechers as well, otherwise it would be a terrifying sight.

They arrived at Seer's House. You would expect him to live in the Castle. But even though given the opportunity, he was paid well enough to afford a home of his own.

It wasn't as big as a castle, but it had all the requirements a family would need.

A Comfortable bed, a good quality dining table where food such as potatoes  and bread split in half were to be found, a few chairs around the Dining table, Cabinets who were just packed with food. From boar meat, to Fish meat, bread, potatoes to cabbages and underneath those Cabinets were sacks of wheat.

A firmly placed Cauldron was near the Fire, no doubt used for cooking and the Aroma of burning dry wood added a cozy atmosphere to the whole house.

Those were basic requirements any person would need, but the most eye catching part of the whole house was the mini Library he installed in the house. As if he spent 5 Salaries on books.

The house was about 5 meters wide and 9 meters long, he used almost half of the house to form that library.

Which further raises questions, how could a bookworm, owning 4 big shelves of books neatly placed next to each other, taking half of the houses space, be so good at fighting? It just didn't add up.

He took off her 3 coats, and hanged all of them on the coat rack, while being very careful not to touch her at all, respecting boundaries and personal space that even Maleesa herself didn't ask him to doo but no doubt noticed it which made her feel more comfortable around him where they are literally alone.

The Fire was burning high in the Fireplace, it seems like he put a lot of wood in the fire before leaving, as if he was sure he will return under 2 hours.

In cold January days, it was common to do so even though it would be considered wasting wood which no doubt wasn't easily affordable unless the man of the family had to do some adjustments to his time, avoiding to skip work but also succeeding in bringing wood home.

Cutting wood for the Winter was a Season done before leaves started blooming in Spring and after the weather wasn't deadly cold. So the wood would provide more heat in the next Winter and would be easier to start a fire with, due to it being more dry.

But in Seer's house, it seemed like heat can't get out and cold can't get in. The house is so well isolated with high quality layers of wood planks.

But apart from wearing 3 Coats while she was outside and being in such a warm place now, Maleesa was still feeling a bit cold which in Seer's eyes was adorable to witness.

King Zar showing sympathy for the homeless, he is providing Firewood, tents, sleeping bags and thicker clothing which was easier to afford for a King. It was the least he could do before the rest of the houses were built, the timing of his project was just too bad.

Such sympathy would also lead to more appliers once he forms another recruitment paper no doubt. The more qualified workers this town has, the better the town can progress.

"Alright i have many questions about what just happened a bit earlier. I'm not surprised of the Robbers, i'm more surprised about you beating the crap out of them with such ease. Pardon my Language."

Talked Maleesa freely as if she knew him for years. She noticed that under the King's Guidance, Seer barely uses his status to raise his ego. He barely did before Zar's revolution, but now it is even less.

As Seer was approaching the iron tea pot holding cold water on the bottom tea pot which was twice the size of the top teapot who was holding Mint Tea.

Mint tea growing easily where there is thick vegetation, a.k.a the Forest, was a common weed to find in Spring.

It was easily affordable as well. Even Blacksmith Apprentices can afford it throughout the month, so it was a common item in the market.

Putting the Tea to boil, he calmly said

"Why are you surprised? Didn't expect me to fight that well?"

"Not at all. Don't get me wrong, but you playing such an important part in the Castle, you are always surrounded by Guards and have superior authority over them. You never had the need to fight."

"That is true. But in life there will come situations where it would be odd for Guards to follow me. Such as meeting a stunning woman like you."

Hearing the less shy sentence coming from Seer's mouth, her cheeks became instantly red and she mumbled a few times trying to form a sentence but also a thought on her mind growing that she refused to ask

"Will he use me?" She thought constantly. They are alone. They like each other. What would stop them?

The worst consequence they would have, would be having a child because of this night.

"So you learned how to fight for emergency cases?"
