Chapter 113: Relle's Request of Jamina

Avion got down from his room and ate lunch. An hour had passed and Jamina went to Avion's room, bringing a letter.

"Relle, the master replied." she spoke with a cold tone.

The door opened as a response. But who came out was a man in a black suit.

"Eh?" Jamina blinked a few times before she slowly took a step back, "W-who are you?"

The figure was all-black except for the slit on his eyes. Noticing the sunken eyes and crude eyelashes along with his crooked nose underneath the mask, Jamina realized.

"Why are you wearing that?" she was weirded out.

"So Master Numui replied?" Avion, instead, ignored. He still remembers that "Relle" is a man of few words.

However, Jamina squinted her eyes as she took another step back. She placed her hands behind her with the letter on it.

Yesterday, she learned that she needed to do whatever Reller orders her to do. It greatly stunned her and last night, she was waiting for a call from this devil.

"Service me with your body..."

She was waiting for those words as she shuddered. No one arrived and she eventually got to sleep which she got the nightmare.

Waking up, she was angry with her dark eye bags.

'You could've told me that you're not going to do anything!' along with her irritability due to the lack of sleep, she blamed Avion. Her anger rose and now that "Relle" ordered her nonchalantly, she saw this as an opportunity.

She wasn't part of any contract, after all.

"I'm the head main here while you are just a normal servant. Although my master told me to do everything you say, I want to know the reason!" she was fearless, she had the tone as if she stood on a higher plane.

The lack of sleep was making her dizzy and made her more dauntless. She just wants to probe but if Avion forced her, she would've no choice but to comply and give the letter.

"He told you that?" Avion raised his eyebrows but Jamina was unable to see it.

'Shit!' Jamina cursed, 'He doesn't know? Is that why he didn't do anything to me last night!? So maybe tonight he will do it???' she wanted to slap herself for being careless.

"But what reason do you want to know?" Avion casually asked, not feeling Jamina's tense.

Jamina made a small circle gap between her lips when she unexpectedly heard this. Now that she got the chance, she bluntly asked the first question in her head;

"How do you feel about your mother?"

If others heard this, they would think, 'What a bored, nothing to do, prying woman!'

Truly, not because she's a loyal maid means she loves her job to the point of not getting bored. Relle's arrival was some sort of stimulation to the servants. However, that was not the only reason why Jamina was concerned about that.

"My mother?" Avion didn't think of the fictional Runa but his real mother. He never saw her once. If he could, he wants to...

"...." there was only deep silence as a response.

Jamina's eyes widened. She could clearly see Avion's eyes that slowly looked away.

"Ah... here." she suddenly put the letter in front.

'Maybe I'm too judgemental?' she thought.

She also lost her parents not too long ago which made her the head maid. So she was the most affected by Relle's attitude. However, she was also the most who could understand him.

"Thanks..." Avion's words lost their energy.

Jamina's face twitched, 'I'm actually feeling guilty...' 

"Umm... It's true that Master Numui said I would do everything for you." she gritted her teeth, going into the "trap" herself, "Is there any request?"

Of course, she would indirectly decline if it passes the line. But because if "Relle" orders and forces her, she couldn't do anything against him. Meaning, even if she didn't say it now, as long as "Relle" has evil intentions from the start, she has no escape.

She just wished that it's daytime and that request isn't something she had in her nightmare.

"Actually, I have one." Avion suddenly regained his energy as he opened the letter in his hand.

At once, Jamina's face paled, 'Was I deceived?' Avion's change of tone was too drastic that it seemed like he's playing with her.

Avion only needs one look to read the letter since there was only one phrase written on it.

[I permit it]

"Hehe..." he muttered and looked at Jamina which made her shuddered.

.....

On the following day,

In the backyard, there's a plain ground that was wider than Avion's room. There was nothing on it except for the grass and soil.

The Romen's mansion was large but the land it stood on was larger!

The walls seemed far away.

There are few open lands in the backyard while the others were occupied by different flowers and trees arranged in quite an artistic manner.

The Romen couple seemed to have a hobby of keeping a garden.

The open lands which were spaces seemed to have potentials for farming too.

Currently, near Avion's residence, there was one open land and in there was a wide table, a bed under a solitary tree, and the wooden mannequin.

"What are you planning with this? I hope you don't abuse the master's kindness." Jamina had her half-opened eyes, seemingly giving up but internally relieved.

Yesterday, she helped Avion set up these furnishings outside.

The problem was, it was only the two of them that worked on it. Jamina didn't know that Avion's identity was sensitive so the fewer people interact with him the better.

That was why she was the only one near Avion. Master Numui thought the Avion fancied her and at the same time, she was the head maid, the greatest at servicing the guest.

Since Master Numui and Lady Shamira wanted to make Avion comfortable there as much as possible to make him want to stay, they made Jamina attend him at all times.

Avion was, after all, a Rank Bih Elementalist in their eyes. Why would they want to let him go?

Of course, Avion did all the man's work, Jamina was just the support. Unexpectedly, he was stronger than she expected with his thin body.

But her real job comes now as per "Relle's" request.

"Actually, I don't care what you want to do. I'll go and prepare the food you requested." she casually bowed and left.

Avion nodded without looking back. He then began to mutter to himself.

"This is perfect! No one's around. There's a large space. The bed is open and shaded. The table is there for the food to come. The toilet is near too. The mannequin is stuck on the ground, stable!" he felt excited.

Because from now on, he will practice what he read!
