I’m currently in my room with Celyne there. She’s currently lying on my bed waiting for me to massage her. But what makes me wonder is.

‘How could this happen???’

I just wanted to try my massage technique, now it ends up in a dizzying atmosphere. At first, I refused Celyne’s wishes, but seeing her sad, made my heart feel even more guilty.

‘Lute you don’t want to massage me? even though, you massaged Silvie,’

Hearing Celyne says that with a sad face, I couldn’t refuse it. Celyne whose face had a sad expression before, after hearing me accept it, Celyne’s face was happy again. I feel very cheated now.

Back to where I am now. I’m now on the bed while Celyne is lying there waiting for me to massage her.

‘Since it’s like this, I’ll do it!!’

Using my fingers I started by holding Celyne’s leg. Pressing my finger on her leg, Celyne started to sigh.

“Hmmmm….. hah….”

Hearing this, made my spine shiver. I felt like doing more. Raising my hands to her calves, I massaged her again.

“Ahhnn…. Lu-lute over there….. I feel weird…. hmnn….”

Celyne groaned loudly, I turned to her who had a heated face.

‘No-no I have to stop here, I can’t do it, my heart isn’t strong enough yet,’

I immediately let go of my massage from her. It made Celyne’s face disappointed. But now I won’t budge anymore, when you grow up, I will do whatever you want.

“Lute, why did you stop?” Celyne looks at me with a sad expression.

“We can’t continue, if you want me to massage it to your heart’s content, I’ll do it once you’re old enough,” I said turning the other way not to see her.

“Okay,” Celyne accepted, although she was a little disappointed.

I sighed after seeing her accept it, if this continues, I don’t know what will happen next.

“Alright Celyne, I have something I want to talk to you about seriously,” I said to Celyne with a serious face.

“Something serious? What do you mean Lute?”Celyne looked at me with a questioning face.

Taking a deep breath, I opened my mouth and told her.

“I won’t be long anymore, out of the city, to go on a journey,” I said to Celyne.

“A-are you going out of the city??” Celyne looked at me with a dumbfounded face and an expression that was about to cry.

“Calm down Celyne, I’ll come back here after the academy exams start,” I tried to calm Celyne who was about to cry.

“But I won’t be able to see you again for that long,” Celyne had eyes wet with tears.

“I’m sorry Celyne, but this is my decision,” I tell her.

Tears started to fall from the corners of Celyne’s eyes, I saw her crying, feeling pain in my heart. But this is my decision, I will not stop this.

Saying that I brought my face closer to Celyne and kissed her lips for a while then let go. Celyne felt her lips being kissed widen her eyes, she had a flushed face and touched her lips.

“Are you satisfied now?” I smiled at Celyne.

“Um,” Celyne nodded and lowered her head.

“Okay, let’s go out of the room,” I pulled her hand.

The two of us exited my room and headed back to the garden. Celyne and I chatted about various things until finally Reynold would come home and call me to come with him.

In front of the manor, I was near the Ashleigh family carriage. There were four people here watching me go, Brainne, Sina, Celyne, and Silvie. Silvie’s face was still a little red and for Celyne she was looking at me with an affectionate look.

For some reason it made me feel a little weird because I’ve never seen a girl look at me with such an expression, it’s my first time. But I’m actually quite happy that Celyne and Silvie didn’t fight when they met.

“Celyne, Silvie, I will be staying at the Ashleigh family residence for a few days, after which I will return to the manor and prepare for my departure,” I said to the two of them with a smile.

Celyne came to hug me and I returned it. I smiled, after a few seconds, she let go.

“I’m waiting for you to come back Lute,” Celyne said.

Now that Silvie was in front of me, she looked shy maybe she still remembered what happened earlier.

“Silvie you don’t want to hug me,” I spread my arms.

“Hmph,” Although she snorted she hugged me with a flushed face. After a few seconds, we broke the hug.

“Alright, uncle and aunt, I’m going, see you all,”

Saying that, I entered the carriage with Reynold and the carriage started to move towards the Ashleigh noble residence.

—-

Our carriage arrived at its destination, it was a very large residence, even bigger than the manor that Braine had. The grounds were vast, there was a soldier’s training ground.

Many soldiers were training, some were even doing combat training on the training grounds. I saw this in amazement because many people were training like military training.

The carriage started to stop, Reynold and I got off the carriage. Looking at the building in front of me, it was huge, nobles are indeed very different from ordinary people, I can’t imagine all the wealth they have.

The door started to open and an old man, with white hair and a white mustache showing, was wearing a butler’s outfit and looked dignified.

“My lord, you are back, young lady is waiting for you,” The butler bowed.

“Sebas, Call my two daughters to the living room, I want to speak to them,”

“Yes, my lord,” the butler began to leave.

Going inside, I was amazed, this room looks very sparkling. There is a decorative lamp hanging above, it seems to be a magic item, with lots of furniture and beautiful paintings.

Walking down the house, Reynolds and I finally entered a room, it seemed this was a living room. This room could be said to be large, for a living room, with various furniture and paintings.

Reynold and I sat on the sofa, not long after that the door opened. Two girls one was my age and the other looked a little older.

Older girls seem to have a cocky attitude, while younger girls seem shy, this is a combination that looks, does not match at all.

The two of them are the main heroines, if I want to conquer the older sister’s heart, I must first conquer the younger sister’s heart first.

The older sister is named Nola Ashleigh, she has a beautiful face and looks dignified, with long hair reaching to the knees, the hair is golden blonde and some of the hair looks purple. Her eyes are amethyst.

As for her younger sister, her name is Trecia Ashleigh. She has thick hair tied in a long braid, bright blonde in color, her bangs covering the middle part between her eyebrows. Her eyes are light yellow.

I purposely went with Reynold to his residence to meet them. During these few days, I will try to get close to the younger sister. Because if I get close to the younger sister, the older sister will also approach me later.

“Dad, you’re back, I’m waiting for you” Nola Speaks.

“Um, we were waiting for you dad,” followed by Trecia’s voice next.

“You two are here, please sit down, I’d like to introduce you to someone,” Reynold smiled at his two daughters.

The two of them finally sat down, looking at me. Nola had an expression with furrowed brows when she saw me, whereas Trecia she looked at me with a shy expression, but she seemed to be interested in me.

“I will introduce this boy to you, his name is Lute, he will be your bodyguard later in the academy,” Reynold introduced me to his daughter.

Nola had an increasingly displeased expression, as for Trecia she became more and more interested in me after hearing her father’s explanation.

“Dad, why did you bring this villager? I can take care of myself later in the academy, after all, the academy is still long for me to enter,” Nola spoke in annoyance.

“Of course I know, but this is very necessary when you enter the academy, nobles usually have their own bodyguards, and even have their own faction,” Reynold confirmed to Nola.

Nola looks annoyed and doesn’t accept it. Now she turns to me to vent her frustration.

“Hey you villager, are you even stronger than me to be my guard?” Nola looked at me with a disdainful expression.

“Are you even questioning my strength? even though your father acknowledged my strength,” I smiled in response.

Nola had a face that was red with anger, but after that, she sighed and stood up from the sofa.

“O-older sister,”

Trecia watched her older sister leave, also started to stand up. She turned to me with an apologetic look before chasing after Nola.

“Hah.. for now, this seems fine,” Reynold sighed.
