Chapter 6 -the settlement. part 2 (CH 21)

LINIAS lay on his bed. Ten days had passed since he left the castle when the hunters attacked him.




 Now he knew, that the castle consisted of twenty floors, and that the entire tenth floor, which he was in now, was for his personal use only.




 




This was ridiculous to him, for the castle was enormous in size, and in contrast the castle floors were vast and endless. A small room was suitable for him. As for this room, it was more like a luxury apartment. Interior doors led to other rooms. A bathroom, a dressing room, an office room, and a room containing strange things made by the professor such as magic potions. 




 




In fact, he was bored and bored with it all. Even when talking to someone, the person starts to sweat without any reason.




He moved his eyes to the corner of the room, staring at Sinoria, who was standing still, so unmoving, that he thought she was not breathing. But Sinoria proved to be a real headache. She refused to leave LINIAS alone. He was asking her to come out.




 




 In fact, she would go out, but only for a second and then return to the corner, staring at him with unblinking eyes. And he returns asking her to leave him, but she returns in a fleeting moment. On one occasion, he was fed up with her, and told her that he would change his clothes and remain naked all day, and he thought that she would blush and confused and run away to leave him alone, but he was surprised when her features did not change as she was staring at him like now as a statue, only her eyes seemed alive. LINIAS almost swears she's doing this to scare him.




That is why he chose to ignore its existence.




 




However, he couldn't feel the slightest relief. How can a guy stay relaxed, with a girl staring at him without blinking. He looked back at her, remembering some horror movies, and imagined that she would turn into a scary creature and pounce on him.




-"Isn't there something you do?...do something for example?...".




-" I am working now.."




 




- "It is true that you work, but this is tedious and exhausting work... why don't you do something more important than that?"




"There is nothing more important than this work, it is the greatest honor."




"But I don't need a guard.. Maybe outside, but here who will attack me?"




"No one knows. That's why Sinoria has to be on guard."




"I'm giving you a vacation My dear. Go and play a little."




"Sinoria works for life".




"You don't like girls talking? There 's Celine . She's your age.. Go have a tea party or something."




" Sinoria , don't drink, sir." LINIAS murmured :




-"Don't drink..eating is better than drinking.Go and party."




"It's annoying, sir."




"What things?"




"-Eating and drinking. "LINIAS stared at her, surprised by this answer, and said:




"- Eating and drinking are annoying things.. This is a really strange answer.. Why is it annoying? Maybe because you like certain things.




 




"No, it's not.. But after eating, disgusting things come out from everywhere.. It's disgusting.. Sir? Did I say something wrong?" LINIAS was shaking with laughter:




-" Uh.. not.. haha hah.. this.. huh, no.. why.. you didn't do anything. Uh. So.. you don't need food and drink.. that's really great.. thanks to you, I feel refreshed. right Now".




 




 He settled down on his bed, pointed at one of the benches, and said:




"Bring him this seat." With elegant movements, she took the chair and placed it beside the bed, and remained standing next to the chair like a professional soldier.




"Sit down, baby..."




 




 Sinoria got down on one knee beside the chair.




"No. Sit down. Sit on the bench."




"Please forgive my refusal, sir." You are killing me with this ridiculous behavior.




- "I want to talk to you, so sit down."




"But. This is the proper way to receive your great words... Sitting with the Great Master , on the same level, is never forgivable." With impatience, LINIAS said :  




"Sit down... I won't repeat my words again." He gave her a sullen look. Sinoria shivered , and sat obediently on the bench, her eyes anxiously lowered to the floor




.




"Do you remember your life before now, baby? I mean, how did you come to Vintos  Castle ? Do you understand what I mean ?" Without raising her eyes, she said in a panicked voice:




"I don't know what you want from me, sir? But I was born here."




"You mean you opened your eyes and found yourself here, right?"




"No. I was born here thanks to the power of my master, and I was nurtured from my childhood until I became a young woman.. My master surrounded me with kindness and mercy, and gave me a great position." She puffed her chest proudly. 




"I... I am my master's The sincere slave."




 




Are you kidding me? How were you born here? Everyone told me that they came back to life and found followers as they are now..so why do you say she was born here? They all give me the same answer. No. With my master's strength, said she, then, she knows the truth. But it must have been false memories planted in their minds... mmm. Wait a minute, what did she say now?.. slave.. 




 




"You are not anyone's slave, do you understand?" She gave him stray glances, as if those words were a strange mystery to her. But LINIAS did not care about these looks, and got up from the bed, took a blank sheet of paper from the table, and wrote on it with a strange bird's feather, and gave it to Sinoria to read. But Sinoria could not read those words. 




-"You can't read it then... There is no doubt about that, because this is the Arabic language. A strange language in this world... What is there?..."




.




"I can't read it...but I know it well." In amazement, LINIAS said:




" Do you know her?"




"Yes. It is the language of ancient magic." He was upset by this answer, as he was interested in what you had to say. But it turns out she was joking, or so he thought. And he had a desire to get out of here, and take some tours. Before he could open the door, Sinoria hurried and opened the door before her master, to find five girls, who were standing behind the door. Their beauty and beautiful clothes looked like princesses in stories.




 




LINIAS , however, was not surprised by their appearance, and he had a long talk with them until his throat had dried.




 They insisted on entering his room, ready to serve him. LINIAS refused , and asked them to invite him alone, but they categorically refused. After a long struggle, he issued an order to a face that does not accept debate and controversy, to leave him alone. The girls obediently and respectfully walked out of that time.




 




 LINIAS knew they were servants, and of the same race as their chief, Elvia . That's just all he knows. Not even their names are remembered.




He only knew the name of the chief servant for the day, and her name was Sandra . No one can remember all the people and information at once, and many names have been forgotten. That is why LINIAS did not know how to respond as they looked at him with great admiration.




 




LINIAS raised his hand and said:




-" welcome ". This is all he could do. But that word made their eyes shine like lamps,  And with their soft little fingers they grabbed the edge of their white dresses , and bowed like princesses at a prom. And they said at once:




"All honor and pride are ours, sir."




"Didn't I tell you to do something other than standing here?"




Sandra, in a similar pose, who had curly golden French hair, said :




"Permit us to refuse, sir, for we serve you for this day, and there is no honor to be compared to this work."




- What honor is this? Who do you think I am? He seemed tired of these actions and continued saying :   




"Do what you want," and walked away.




" Thank you very much." She said. And they raised their heads, and elegantly followed their master. 




 Sandra said , walking behind him: 




"Would you allow me to speak, sir?"




-" How much I hate these words."




-" my Lord ? ".




"No, nothing. I was thinking about some things."




-"Uh, please forgive your faithful maidservant for interrupting your thoughts and"




 




Interrupting her speech , LINIAS said :




-" what is the Question?  "




-"N..yes, Where are you going, sir? ".




" I don't know. I think I'm going to meet Rivera . "  Or maybe you'd recommend me somewhere?"




 Sandra did not answer the last words.




"But, wouldn't it be better if you invited her to you, that's proper etiquette."




 




LINIAS said curtly:




" It makes no difference to that." He closed the conversation, and they walked silently, with only the Click of their shoes being heard in the corridor.
