Princess Altrelia
27: Alstrelia

“A-tone. Come with me.” replied Winda nervously. ‘Elbert! Where'd you get a woman this beautiful?!’ he cried curiously half-dead to Elbert.

Winda leads Altrelia into his shop.

After the departure of the two of them, this brunette dared herself to ask Elbert. “Master, was that your lover?”

Hearing a question that was quite thrown from the woman who was sitting at the dressing table, Elbert immediately turned around while answering, “Sorry, you are wrong. She is not my lover.”

“Eh? Did ya? Though she's as pretty as that, so I think she's your lover.”

‘Love?’ Elbert immediately glanced at the person who was the topic of his conversation earlier. ‘She is beautiful, but I don't need a beautiful woman from the outside.’

Honestly Elbert was tempted to see Altrelia which in her eyes was quite beautiful.

From the outside, Altrelia was like an innocent woman who had not been tainted by anything. Natural beauty that is not treated.

For example, when Elbert is now trying to compare it with the face of Altrelia with the woman who was sitting at the dressing table.

Both appearances made Elbert laugh in silence. At a glance, Elbert immediately chose the appearance of Altrelia.

‘Because of the question, I fell into this thought. Elbert, you as a knight must keep your eyes off your current employer.’ Elbert's heart said.

He immediately closed his eyes and tried to rearrange his heart in order to face again the real nature of the Altrelia he was currently serving.

“I gladly received a compliment from you, thank you.” said Altrelia briefly after taking care of her personal needs earlier. “Bert, come.” 

Elbert frowned. ‘Why am I called Bert?’ 

“Pfft...” Winda instantly instantly held her own laughter because she just heard someone who dared to call Elbert with a short nickname taken from behind.

CLINGING.

Before Winda lost Elbert who was about to go out, Inda tried to hold him back for a while.

“El, briefly.” Holding Elbert's hand, and making Elbert at that moment also stopped his footsteps.

“Ah I forgot to thank you.”

“Not it!” said Winda with great emphasis, then pulled Elbert's hand down so that Elbert's body was slightly bent. “Tell me, who is that woman.”

“ Elbert only glanced at Winda for a moment, then removed the woman's hand from his hand. “It's best to ask him that directly.”

After saying so, Elbert went out and hurriedly caught up with the already outside Altrelia.

‘What does that mean he wants to say it but has no right to tell it to me? I had to find out who he was, because I felt familiar with his face. It's like young duke Fisher. But it feels impossible too, because I heard his sister is sick.’ thought Winda while turning around and continuing her pending work earlier.

“Madam, the woman who was quite beautiful, about do you know her?” 

“Sorry, I don't know either.”

“So yes.” tucked a sense of regret for not knowing who the woman who just came and went in that short time.

“Why are you taking me to a place I don't like?” altrelia's protest to Elbert.

“Isn't the important thing to solve the main problem?”

‘What does it feel like to be scolded by a woman for not being in accordance with the wishes of her heart?’ unfortunately Elbert is required to accept all the situations he gets while serving his employer, and moreover now all he has to serve is a woman. 

So like this, Elbert so learn one thing from this Alstrelia, if this woman is enough to hate everything related to make up.

‘Hah~’ Elbert laughed sneeringly when he had to know this strange fact belonging to Altrelia. ‘He is indeed a quite blatant person, I must keep him from making troublemakers because of his sharp tongue.’ 

“Bert! You make me wait again?” call Alstrelia and ask to warn the slow-moving Elbert.

Elbert immediately went after Altrelia who was already ahead. 

DRAPON….DRAPON…..DRAPON…….

‘Hopefully if miss has met, I can bring her here.’ Elbert was always made to think of the proposal, what would it be like to serve his real miss?

TAPS….TAPS…….TAP……

Although most women always have short footsteps, but Elbert felt it alone when walking with this woman. 

Elbert who was supposed to match his footsteps with this Altrelia, just like it was made for the opposite. Her steps were being equated by Altrelia herself.

“Is it still far?”

Elbert's daydream instantly disappeared. “Because it is a city library, the building can be seen from here.” tell Elbert.

And just like what he said, Altrelia was able to see a white building that had a height of more than 7 floors.

It is said to be high, so for Altrelia the building is only two floors high for the original residence of Altrelia.

‘It seems I have to look for it manually.’ would hate but there is nothing that Altrelia can do on the world system that Alstrelia currently lives in, he said, because in the end, Altrelia still needs what is around her.

After walking more than 300 meters, Altrelia and Elbert managed to get to their destination.

A large, tall building with whitewashed walls, then happened to have a spacious green courtyard.

Regardless of the place that is located in the city center, because it has a large yard, the boisterous sound of all activities outside the yard of the building, will not make a meaningful noise.

There were two guards standing in front of the entrance. But the two of them could just pass by from those guards.

“Do they not need a visitor's identity?” ask Alstrelia curious about the system while in the library.

“They need, but if it's me who entered then don't need it.”

“....................” 

Elbert was immediately provoked by the gaze this woman gave him. “What's up?”

“Are you just bragging yourself to me?”

“If think of it like that, it doesn't matter either.”

“Ho~” Altrelia looked at him with a cynical smile. “Man does have a degree that needs to be known by fellow humans so that they know his identity. It has become a basic trait both human and animal, so do not hesitate. Since you knew clearly back then, I was also like.” explained Altrelia and resumed her journey to start her main task.

Elbert was speechless and thought again, ‘From the way he spoke, it always sounded as if he was indeed a person who understood everything. Who the hell is he? I've tried to start investigating her background, but there's none I've met. Looks like this will take more time than I thought.’
