Entering the World of Cerpenes

Duke Assefa

Mason Regan Assefa's. The current Duke of Assefa is Viona's grandfather.

Despite his old age, his body remained steadfast without the slightest setback. Her hair color is predominantly silver, although there are still some strands of her hair that look black.

The beard that grew around her face that was hard due to the accumulation of women also had the same color. Only his mustache is dominated by black rather than white.

Eyebrows that swooped sharply inward and the serene look of the eyes made him even more impressed untouched.

Just like a duke title owner who had been passed down for centuries, the aura his body emitted was enough to make Britta feel the pressure of intense fear.

The waiter who had always been in the border mansion, where might be able to face the presence of Duke Assefa. Britta's body seemed to be exposed to gravity so strong that it was difficult to get up from his greetings.

"Your Majesty, please retract your aura. I'm sorry for my sassness but I'm afraid Miss can't handle it" the butler said after bracing her mentality using magic energy.

The Duke glanced towards the bed where Viona fell asleep with a severed breath. Even the unconscious Viona felt the pressure of the aura enveloping this room.

The Duke immediately withdrew his unintentionally leaked aura, "Ck, weak."

Just then, the air inside Viona's room became lighter, Britta was as strong as she could resist coughing at the tip of her lips. He did not want to add to the Duke's current annoyance.

The Duke stepped closer to Viona. Not yet had the ruler go any further, Viona who had just calmed down now returned to breathing heavily. Perhaps his body automatically sensed the immense might of the Duke that he was unable to withstand.

His footsteps came to a halt, then he quickly turned around. It could be estimated that the hard face was holding back anger. I don't know who this anger is directed to. "Supervise him properly" the Duke said before leaving his grandson's room.

Viona woke up the next morning. His recovery was faster due to the Liez mansion's unexpected arrival of guests. A best healing fairy in the capital comes and heals Viona.

To be honest, Viona who heard the story from Britta felt awkward. The reason, the arrival of the healing elves in Liez mansion is full of coincidences.

Not long after Duke Assefa left the mansion, it happened to rain down heavily.

The elf happened to be caught in the rain by a train that happened to be broken and happened to pass through this mansion. Then another coincidence was that a servant who came out to clean the garden near the gate saw her and offered the fairy to take shelter in the mansion.

Then it just so happened that the elf turned out to be a healing elf and happened to hear a story from the servant that the Duke Assefa's youngest granddaughter was lying sick. Therefore, Viona was healed by him and after a few hours they sat face to face while drinking tea.

“So, in conclusion you just happened to take care of me, Miss Elf?”

A soft and warm smile like the rays of the sun in the morning rose on the white face of the female elf. “Yes, Miss Liez. Please just relax with me, just call Elxina, Miss.”

The two of them were enjoying tea before this elf named Elxina left to continue her journey.

“Nona Elxina,” Viona would like to ask further to ease the awkwardness in her heart.

Even so, Viona was grateful for the arrival of Elxina in this mansion and healed her. I don't know what disease he suffered so he fell unconscious twice. Thinking further, Viona felt it impolite to interrogate her healer.

“I want to thank you for the help of Miss Elxina,” Viona looked down in directly stopped by Elxina.

“Nona Liez,” Sontak Elxina held back so that the noble in front of her did not bow his head, “no need to bow like that in front of me, Miss. Really, I did this purely to return the favor,” after making sure that Viona no longer lowered her head, Elxina heaved a sigh of relief.

He continued his words, “I may fall ill in the rain if not welcome into this very comfortable mansion. As someone from the elf race, I feel it is inappropriate not to repay the kindness of miss.”

“But,” Viona is now uncomfortable with a statement of gratitude that she thinks is too excessive, “the person who brought Miss Elxina in is not me. But a servant, I think I need to repay Miss' kindness for healing me.”

“The good of the servant is descended from the kindness of his master. Miss, I hope you are not too humble to acknowledge the kindness I have received this.”

Finally Viona relented, “Alright, Miss Elxina.”

“Thanks, Miss Liez.”

As far as Viona knows from Britta, Elxina is well known for helping ordinary people who need unpaid treatment though.

Sure enough, it still feels uncomfortable if Viona does nothing. Perhaps he could give Elxina support to help the common people.

The Elf's high instinct tells Elxina that Viona will do anything to avenge her. Before Viona raised her voice again, Elxina rose to retreat.

Her movements were so fast that the still daydreaming Viona thought of a plan to support Elxina became crumbling.

Suddenly, Viona was already outside the mansion door and staring at the departure of the Elxina train car that was getting away.

“I was about to do something, huh?” muttered Viona quietly.

Finally, the day of the victory party came.

Viona's room, which was once quiet and filled only with scattered books, is now replaced by a variety of dresses, accessories, and various beauty equipment that she does not know.

Before the sun rose, Viona was already preoccupied with various preparations to go to the party. Starting from skin care, bathing, makeup, wearing dresses, decorating hair, and various other small details were done by Britta and other maids to Viona.

Viona felt like a puppet.

“Completed!”

“Nona, please wake up.”

Viona's eyes, which had been covered in petals, were now open, displaying a pair of glittering brown eyes. Viona was surprised to see her appearance reflected by the large mirror before her.

“Yes my goodness, Miss. You are so beautiful!”

“Your skin is so soft.”

“That hair model is perfect for Miss!”

Viona's finger touched the bag under her eye. Viona did not believe the panda eyes caused by nervousness to come today so that she could not sleep was lost without a trace.

Though he could only sleep an hour before waking up Britta to get ready. Although Viona's preparations closed her eyes, she still did not sleep comfortably.

But, all of that really paid off with his current appearance.

“I turned out to be beautiful, huh?” muttered Viona in disbelief at this amazing appearance.

“Yes my goodness, Miss. Trust yourself, you are always beautiful wearing anything.”

“Miss Betul, Britha just polish your face with light makeup. Indeed from the beginning you have been very beautiful.”

“My sister is always beautiful.”

A voice that Viona had not heard for a long time suddenly entered her ear.
