Chapter 81 – Relaxing Rest

From the royal palace, after officially being a Holy Knight, Aaron and I headed out to the mansion of the Barbatos family… but before that.

No matter how you saw it, it can't be said as beautiful. But the size was unmistakably huge….

The old wall was 'decorated' by all kinds of vine and plants, and the originally beautiful garden had bee a small jungle. It's really not that surprising to see the vegetation to grow to that extent.

The garden reminded me of my time when I worked as a gardening apprentice at the Heart mansion. But the garden will have to wait, since we'll start with cleaning up the interior first.

Whilst trying to open the rusty gate, I glanced at the neighbors. They're all about the same as the Barbatos mansion, but a lot cleaner on every corner and looked wonderful.

Well, of course I knew the condition of the mansion next door because I was there before. Yes…the mansion next door, belongs to Heart family.

I was upset when I realized this. There is no mistake, Barbatos mansion is just right next to the Heart family mansion…..who would've thought that Roxy's house was right next door? When I was still working as apprentice gardener, I always wondered why the garden next door was always so dirty. Apparently there was something I missed because there were too many things to remember back then.

Dammit, if I knew in advance, I would've prepared my heart for this!

I left such a letter for Roxy back at Gallia, what kind of face I should show her now that we actually ended up as her neighbor!?

That's it…..I won't take off this skull mask…..I don't want to.

In my frustration, I ended up fiddling around the rusted gate without actually opening it, which netted me a scolding from Aaron who was standing behind me.

[Are you going to enter, or are you going to get out, which one is it?]

[I'll enter! I'll enter now! !]

However…. When I ended up doing the same thing all over again, Aaron grabbed my shoulder.

[What's wrong? You cannot possibly do that every time you want to enter the mansion, right?]

[Hahaha, of course not…]

Aaron then said with a firm expression.

[Fine, I understand. The place you just glanced at….the Heart mansion. That Roxy Heart succeeded the family head at such a young age.]

Then Aaron gave me a coy smile. Eh….no way, he actually noticed? Damn, did he already see through me!?

He's the sword saint after all. His insight is topnotch. While I was feeling impressed with that,

[When I was rebuilding Hausen, I met Roxy who was heading to Gallia at that time. She helped me in various ways. So I taught her some swordsmanship in exchange. That girl was quite good. Like Fate, she's also a young Holy Knight who is part of the great families, which worries me a little. Let's give her a visit next time! Young lord is interested in sparring with her, aren't you?]

Whoops, I guess I misunderstood. He's still the battle-loving Aaron! He'd rather talk with his sword than his mouth.

The idea of greeting her didn't even cross my mind, let alone sparring.
