Chapter 3 Situation

Following this Max asked her everything she knew about him, his parents, his siblings and even their guards, maids, butler etc and most importantly magic.

Lilly was very confused at this but she calmly explained to him everything as it was her duty to serve her young master.

After hearing everything Lilly had to say he wore a complicated expression on his face as he didn’t know how to react.

Lilly stood quietly at the side of his bed. She guessed that he didn’t remember because of the injury to his head and will remember everything slowly.

Little did she know that Max, apart from the memories of his previous life didn’t have a single memory whatsoever and it seemed like he won’t remember anything either. All of ‘this’ Max’s memories disappeared with his death.

After staying silent for almost 30 minutes, Max finally collected his thoughts and accepted that he has reincarnated in this magic world for real.

‘So my name is coincidentally Max, Maxwell Garfield, sixth and youngest son of Viscount Ashton Garfield…’ Max started recollecting all the information he has just received.

He has three brothers and two sisters, all of whom are his half brothers and sisters because his father and his mother only had him while these others are with different wives of his father. Yeah! Polygamy is allowed here and if you are a noble like his father, you can marry as many women as you want. This means this is a paradise for adults like him on earth.

There are various things that decide your status here but most important of all is your strength. If you are a powerful mage or magic warrior people will respect you and some kings might officially appoint you as a noble if you are not one from birth. He came to know many things related to this new world but those are not very important for now.

Through some coincidence or maybe this is his fate, he doesn’t have his mother alive just like in his previous life. She passed away eight years ago due to some illness when Max was only ten years old. Everyone says his mother was the most beautiful woman in Claymore town. And it seems he has inherited it from his mother this is the second-best thing he considered after his reincarnation.

The first one of course that he is no longer poor and can have anything he needs. His brothers are married while the eldest brother, Mark Garfield, has married two beautiful wives. His sisters and he are not married yet.

His siblings always mock him because of his poor talent in magic with the exception of Anna who is two years older than him. She is the only one in his family after his father who loves him.

As for Lilly, She is His personal maid who most of the time stays with him and serves him when he is in the Manor. Max as weak as he is, rarely goes out of the manor and spends most of his time in the library or the garden taking care of the plants and flowers which he had planted himself.

His father, Ashton Garfield, doesn’t really care about him being weak and loves him very much. But as he is The Viscount of Claymore town, he is mostly busy with his duties therefore, he can’t spend time with his children.

“Phew!”

Max exhaled after making a short plan in his mind as to how he is going to live here without making anyone suspicious of him or come to find any trouble with him.

He glanced at Lilly who still stood beside him like a statue.

He patted down on the bed to his side and said with a smile “Don’t keep standing there, come sit here.”

Lilly hesitated for a second then sat beside him.

“Lilly, I hope you will not tell anyone about me forgetting my memories as I don’t want anyone to worry because of it.” Max said while gazing at her beautiful face which had a hint of shyness on it.

“Yes, Young master this servant will obey your command.” Lilly immediately stood up and bowed.

Max smiled at her while enjoying the feeling of being a ‘Young master’.

“Ohh Lilly, did you forget I said to sit beside me and not to stand there?” Max asked in a slightly angry tone.

“N-no, Pardon me, young master.” She again obediently sat beside him.

“Now let me ask you something? But remember not to mention anything about it to anyone okay?” Max spoke with a serious face.

“Yes, P-please ask young master.” She hurriedly replied after noticing his expression.

“You are my personal maid right! What kind of my orders will you follow or what kind of not?” Max asked after pondering for a moment. He wanted to know before he did something which might not be favourable to him.

“Eh?”

Lilly was surprised by this question. She didn’t understand exactly what he wanted to ask.

“What? Didn’t you hear me? Should I repeat myself?” Max asked but this time he was slightly nervous. He didn’t know what kind of order their servants will obey in this world. Although in many novels these types of young masters do anything they want with their maids but not everything can be applied in the real world.

“N-No I heard you, young master. Young master can give me any kind of order you want except for betraying Garfield manor as I’m not allowed to do so.” Lilly explained.

‘Well, I don’t need you to betray anyone.’ Max grinned thinking this.

“That’s very good then.”

“Tell me something. Will someone come to visit me now?” He asked after a sudden thought crossed his mind, after all, he doesn’t want to be caught in ‘action’ just after coming to this world. That would be embarrassing.

“After dinner young miss Anna might come to visit the young master and if Master Ashton is free he too will come,” Lilly replied after thinking for a moment.

After hearing his peculiar questions She started to have an idea of what her young master wanted to order her next and because of this, she started feeling a little antsy.

“Is that so?”

Max turned towards her, looking at her as if a beast would look at its prey.
