Chapter 6: The greatest hunter 4-1
"i can ask you the same thing" he replied with no intention of answering her question
The lady was still dumbstruck by his fluent English, she almost stumbled her own words just from that single reply he spoke.
"I- uhhh, we-well my parents and my personal teacher taught me!" she hesitantly said
(she looks friendly enough... Alright, maybe I can gain more information from her)
"Well... my parents also taught me"
As the two continued to have a chat without any major problems, the silver haired knight couldn't help but have his mouth wide open as the noble lady of the Duke which was supposed to be the most intelligent and well mannered person was conversing with someone of lowest of the lowest class.
"my lady, why must you chat with this peasant- no, this begger!"
...
...
The air froze again as the lady turned her head towards the knight in a terrifying manner
"how about... I'll sew your fucking mouth shut instead" the lady replied
The knight felt shivers down his literal bones, not only that but it felt as if he just suffocated for a while there. He slowly swallowed his frozen saliva down his throat as his very own Mana felt frozen in place.
(that expression just now... I saw that 'person' again.. Why is she so familiar?)
As the atmosphere returned to normal, she went back to her usual self. The quickness of that transformation even surprised the other soldiers watching from behind in the carriage, as if they've never seen her act like that before.
As he finally regained control of his mana, the silver haired man mustered his last bit of strength to make a reply "p-please forgive me your excellency.. ;-;"
"forgive me for showing my ungraceful side, please allow me to properly introduce myself.. My name is Stella Todias" she said, in a manner that was usually expected from nobility
"... (Stella? interesting).. My name is Ferris.. just Ferris"
Stella was a bit taken back when she heard his name but she felt relieved for some reason, as if she already knew him from bits of pieces of memories from her past.
"I see.. Why don't we continue our discussion in the carriage, the sun is quite hot this season" she said with a crooked smile, it was painfully obvious to know that it was forced
(that's strange, despite this place not being earth.. She referred to the star as Sun, this is messing with my head) Ferris thought with suspicion written on his face
Once the two went into another seperate room inside the massive carriage, the equally massive horses began their journey again with steps that made large thudding sounds.
"so, did you come from a place called Earth?" Stella asked with eyes that stabbed his body and a sharp tounge that pierced through his ears
"(how did she?!) what are you talking about" he replied
Stella let out a deep sigh, her body now completely relaxed just from that
"don't worry, I mean no harm to you.. I just want to...
"want what?" Ferris replied
"I... just wanna know.. What Earth is like..." she asked while pointing her fingers together like a student who just went into a new school with no friends
At that moment, something went through his mind over and over again like a repeating message that overwhelmed his mind. He couldn't even help but let out a deep sigh as well and due to this, his mind gave out from too much thinking.
"this shit gets more and more confusing huh?" he mumbled to himself
"actually, you know what? why don't we discuss this in my mansion? It's a few minutes from here actually"
"(mansion? Maybe I could get some more info there) you have a mansion?" he asked so he could fill in the quiet atmosphere
"technically my father owns in, but I'm usually the only one who uses it"
"I see..."
***
After enduring the quiet ride, they could finally go out to take a few breaths of relief as the ride made it to the mansion in no time. Immediately after stepping foot into the land, Ferris encountered dozens of servants waiting for the lady.
(I met a lot of powerful people in my life but they usually didn't have this much servants...) Ferris thought with a raised eyebrow
"let's get you washed and dressed, after that we can discuss your situation"
Ferris was caught off guard by her yet again, this time he couldn't kept thinking about a particular person he knew.
(feels like I'm getting baby sitted.. Honestly I feel a bit embarrassed) he thought while disappointment clouded his mind
The servants were very accommodating to me despite them not knowing my language, and the clothes they prepared for me...
(don't tell me she picked these herself, it's like she's reading my mind... What happened to getting info from her... oh well)
While walking to the location where stella was waiting for him, he checked his clothes again out of curiosity. It was a trench coat that was gray in color, and pants that almost felt like jeans and boots that were pretty solid, but most importantly... Lots n lots of pockets.
(these clothes, it's pretty much the same as standard issue gear for new coming hunters in the United States, almost the same design too... It's also comfortable)
"hm?"
The brilliant light pierced his eyes and once he got used to it he was overwhelmed by the design of the place. Since it was still his first time looking at nature, it had an even bigger impact. A decently spacious area with a large tree in the middle that was on top of a small hill, surrounding the area was pretty much the mansion itself, a better way of describing it is that this was a large indoor garden with an open roof to let the sunlight in.
The servant that guided him there gestured towards the middle area of the garden that had a single marble table and two chairs, sitting there quietly was Stella and if it were to be anyone other than Ferris they would've instantly fallen for her just by looking at her waiting in the seat under the shade of the tree.
(guess she was waiting for me... wait a minute.. Is that a sword under that tree?)
Without wasting anymore time, he jogged towards the destination as if his whole body was moving on its own. He was confused at first but it quickly became obvious why
(... No.. it can't be.. why is that sword there)
Ignoring Stella that was just right beside him, his attention was fully absorbed by the sword.
"how..." he mumbled
