"Oh, did I get it wrong?" I said, feeling sheepish.
His eyes narrowed dangerously, a sign that he's about to go off and threaten .
"Little cat, you have been getting on my nerves for so ti now. Do you want to die that much?"
I bet. I an, I may or may not have been bugging him off intentionally these days…
"You won't kill though…"
Lukas raised one of his brows.
"Hoh? Are you so confident?"
"Well, fifty-fifty?" and then blinked at him for effect.
As I have said, I am this brave to banter with him because I know for a fact that he won't do anything to no matter how I irk him. Anyway, as long as I am not pushing all of his buttons and get on his bad side, I'm relatively safe.
"You should be thankful that I'm being kind enough to not throw you out of the window right now," he cautioned.
Oops… Ti to shut my mouth then. I may have grown a bit courageous lately but I'm still scared of seriously annoying Lukas so I just bother him from ti to ti. This is how I survive boredom by spending my days bothering him to not make my life seem so bland. I don't do anything but roll around, drown in tea and read books.
I'm truly a failure as a noble lady… It's more like the marquis household is raising a pet rather than a daughter, you know.
But what can I do? I am currently being pursued by dark forces. I can't do more than that, much less leave the house unsupervised and et with other people. At least there are so sparks left and I don't completely feel dead all the ti.
I wonder if I would have to continue living my life like this? Ughh, how devastatingly pathetic! Maybe if I wasn't so optimistic, I might have lost my mind long ago.
My eyes absentmindedly lingered on the passing scenery as I thought about my future struggles while looking outside the window, sighing to myself. Kuro felt my distress and was naturally affected by it as a spirit familiar, laying flat beside with zero energy.
After so ti, I looked back at Lukas and saw him leaning on the wall with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
For these past few weeks, Lukas had been constantly hanging around because of his 'guard duty'. He doesn't go ho nor does he take so ti off to rest. Now that I'm thinking about it, he was just there most of the ti.
And I ant, most of the ti.
This guy even invades my room at night when I was just about to go to bed. And yes, he is still doing that despite my plea and warnings. Shaless, I tell you.
"You really don't have a life, do you?" I grumbled absentmindedly.
"..." Lukas had remained silent, not even fazed by my remark.
"Are you not tired of guarding ? Do you even rest?"
Those had been my questions for a long ti now, seeing that he never has a day where he's not present.
"You have a lot of questions," Lukas muttered with his eyes still firmly closed.
"I'm curious. Where do you stay at night? Where do you sleep?"
Does he even sleep? I only see him napping during the journey from ti to ti just like this.
"On your balcony," he honestly replied.
"What?"
Lukas opened his eyes, "I rest on your balcony."
"But why? How is that even comfortable…"
"It's not."
"Then why don't you go ho or sothing…" That doesn't sound ideal at all. Is he always like this during missions?
"I'm doing my job."
"But why?"
Lukas snickered.
"Why am I doing my job?"
"No, I ant, why do you do that? My brother is at ho and so is my father. You don't have to be around all the ti," I reasoned out.
If his concern is my safety then he should know that aside from him, Nathaniel was tasked to look after .
But then again, I rembered that one ti when the conquisitors attacked the mansion which caught us off-guard. Good thing that Lukas had sensed them as soon as they appeared in his perception and had imdiately taken action.
Hmm, him sticking around did help us so… I guess that's a plus?
"Little cat, I am trying to get so sleep so can you be silent?" Lukas suddenly expressed.
He looked sowhat tired that I instantly felt guilty.
"Ohh… okay…"
He then closed his eyes again and assud his posture from earlier, ready to doze off, I guess. And I did try to be quiet and leave him alone but I just couldn't help but be nosy when I'm brimming with curiosity. Especially when I know sothing about him.
"But how are you able to sleep with all the noises you hear in your head?"
Lukas imdiately opened his eyes in annoyance.
"You—"
I blinked at him, "It must be so terrible to not have a mont of peace. I can't even imagine having to hear everything at once."
The novel said that he has heightened senses which are evident for his fast reflexes and being the first one to be able to notice everything before it happens.
"You sure have such a convenient skill huh. You even know that?" Lukas grumbled cynically.
"My anima likes to gossip, I guess…" I shrugged.
He said nothing but just squinted at in suspicion.
"Anyway, I'm just curious… Like how do you manage that? Are you really able to sleep? Aren't the voices loud?"
He did say he was trying to take a nap earlier, hence, I couldn't help but wonder if he could.
"I'm used to it," was his tepid response. Just then, he looked at for a full second before smirking, "Surprisingly, it's much more bearable around you. The noises die down... Well until you open your mouth," he snorted.
"What do you an?" I frowned.
"I'm going to sleep. Be silent or I will throw you off the cliff," he said, completely ignoring my question.
I pouted internally in my head, grumbling about his empty threats. He kept saying he was going to throw out of whatever but never really does it… not like I want him to, though. I'm just bumd he didn't answer my inquiry.
Anyways, I'm now sleepy as well.
