LEILA'S DREAM: Three Possibilities

CHAPTER 12: NOAH EUGENE

"Do you know about Young Master's nanny?" Whisper of a servant who is about to enter ripe age to marry.

Some servants who were busy drying the sheets behind started talking about the new figure present in this mansion. After all, a job as a caregiver gets better facilities than everyone. Moreover, their three Young Masters also often sneak into the nanny's room and are often found staying there as well.

What was even more astonishing was that the Duke did not bother about it at all. 

"After all, that doesn't bother him at all," surely that's what Duke said later.

"Say he was from the south of the kingdom. Doesn't that mean the village?" The chimpanzee was next to the person who first talked about the nanny.

"The village near the Misty Forest is what you mean" said the servant whose hand did not stop to lift and dry the sheets.

"Isn't there a monster," imagining the monstrous monster coming out of the fog managed to give him goosebumps.

Everyone knows about the forest that is famous for its horror. Not only about that, but the festival held by the village was also quite famous in the kingdom.

"Anything else you don't feel weird about his face."

"of course! Is he the bastard son of a noble family?!" The woman exclaimed from the originator of this talk.

"Most likely yes, but even more bizarre. The moment the knights who had come with the Duke to pick up his son stopped in front of a hut in front of the Misty Forest."

The youngest servant said, "maybe she's a witch? Only a freak lives in such a hideous place."

A servant ran over to those who were chatting while doing their duty. Despite more gossiping about the hot topic in the mansion at the moment.

"He! I got it! I got it!" He shouted in a loud voice.

"Diminish your stupid voice!" The snapping of women who had cold faces in this group.

"Sorry, hehe. I can! I can borrow that book!" He felt the happiest person among them all.

"What book?" Ask the youngest girl there.

"Of course the book by Mr Blue Felix!" All at once except the girl who asked.

"Who is he?" The question again made everyone unable to believe it.

"He, don't you know that most famous person from my grandmother's generation?!"

"Where have you lived all this time?"

Getting a lot of slurs the youngest girl apologized for her ignorance.

"He is a writer. A man who lived for so long and no one knew his identity except the owner of the publisher." The woman who had just come and picked up the book she had successfully borrowed.

"I wonder how his face is. Is it as good as the verses he wrote?"

End all the servants behind discussing the author who is very loved from all walks of life. Blue Felix, someone so mysterious and a book that fits him perfectly—according to the readers—is this recently published book.

'The White Night'

The title of a book that describes a man who always spends his time with all the canvases he has. The man who likes to paint is always making paintings that are never finished. Sometimes he will write his past. About the story is so amazing in his youth who love to seek knowledge and open a new world.

Of course Noah who as one who likes the work of Blue Felix also already has the book in his grasp. Looking from the book cover to the first few pages he had read made him think he had read it before.

Noah thinks this is the same story he read while visiting Rion's bookstore.

Harry who was standing not far from Noah with the teapot he was brewing noticed that his Master was frowning. Unlike usual he would like that when reading the work of Blue Felix.

"Duke."

Could it be that the same day Blue Felix visited Rion's bookstore?

"Du—"

It doesn't feel possible. But, it could have been.

"Tuan—"

If only I could have come sooner could it be possible that I could have met him?

"It—"

Or is it possible that the person who screamed on the top floor and had Rion shaken was Blue Felix?!

"About—"

But, Rion called her Miss. I'm sure it is.

"Duke! Please listen to this old man!" Snapped Harry who could not stand the silence Noah. The three-daughter man must have been thinking of something that bothered him.

Noah paused for a moment and looked back at the book he had in his grasp. Finally he could smell the soothing aroma of the very step tea that could only be planted in his area of power.

Akasha Tea.

Black tea with a fresh aroma like after the rain with a soft taste suitable for him to enjoy while reading.

Noah took a deep breath and exhaled, "Do you think this person is really real?"

Harry knew who Noah meant. The writer he had been following and he always asked if because Noah liked to read and this is a book full of amazing fantasies with plot twists that are popular with almost everyone.

"I didn't read it because I liked it" I read it because I wanted to know the author's thoughts.

But, Noah's words compared best to what he did. He even had a special shelf where the work of Blue Felix was placed there. He even sorted by published date.

"Didn't you feel weird about Young Master's Nanny?"

Noah, who had taken his cup of tea and was about to sip it, stopped in the middle of the road. "What do you mean?" Ask Noah who can now enjoy the soft taste of Akasha tea.

"He often disappeared and the Young Master always helped him. Isn't he doing a good job?"

Noah put down his teacup and said to the man who had been the butler since he was ten years old, "didn't you interfere too much in other people's affairs Harry?" Glancing at a man who does not hesitate to punish him if he has made a mistake.

Harry could see the father figure of Noah who was famous for his cold and wise attitude that made him stunned for a moment. The feeling of being intimidated made her puff her lower lip deeply.

"I'm sorry for my sassy attitude, Duke," Harry said, bowing sincerely, wanting Noah not to give him that deadly look again.

Because Harry's question made him not tasteful to continue reading. Noah got up and left Harry to clean his cup. Dusk will come soon in a matter of minutes. Noah who was now in the hallway of the mansion paused for a moment and looked at the scene of the sky that was slowly about to change.

I don't know why it feels like so much later.

Noah kept quiet in the hallway watching the sun sink. The servants and knights who wanted to pass through the passage decided to take a detour. It made Noah himself who made them think that he was recalling his late wife.

The jet-black mane was like a starless night that he let his front part down. Making everyone unable to see the color change of his eyes from emerald green to golden yellow.

"Is that really you, Leila?"

Marriage is not something that makes her happy and not something that makes her sad. Rumi Seena, the woman who made her curious made her think illogically, thinking that she was the Leila she had been looking for all this time. Women who are always present in hundreds of lives.

Noah Eugene was his first life name, just like the one he got in this life. The name of a former person who was called a hero and betrayed by his own comrades-in-arms. Even everyone was looking forward to his death after what he had done to this continent.

As he recalls the memories of his past life. That golden yellow netra would appear and make him act like everyone else, but it remained him.

Noah took a step and walked towards the place he had forbidden everyone to go there. Without the slightest illumination, with the help of dim moonlight covered by thick clouds. Noah raised his hand low and a ball of lantern-like light appeared.

The path that had been covered by wild plants and tree branches that covered the scenery did not make Noah stop. Until he reached the front of the old building like an abandoned mini library. Noah opened it and showed a room that felt moist with minimal light.

Noah would always come when he felt this longing feeling. The feeling is always restless and echoes the carefree laughter of young children who are slowly growing up who always come at night. Honestly, he missed her.

His appearance in his first life was a long silvery white mane that covered his back. With the golden yellow netra had a gap in her pupils like a reptile and an animal she had visited and made a pact with. None other than a guardian white dragon from the Holy Land.

Because his great strength made his comrades who initially felt safe and usually only. That time became fearful and made them all move away from him. Until he decided to isolate himself from their lives.

The magic circle he made with his own blood made him have to feel birth and death thousands of times. Just because she wanted to meet a woman with a jet-black figure with azure blue neutrals as bright as the afternoon sky who always said, "Leila has hair like a father knows! It's red. How it gets black here, anyway!"

His unchanging appearance and always visiting in the summer made him who initially felt disturbed now become accustomed and even sometimes he missed the girl's chatter.

Dozens of paintings are still well-preserved he keeps from every life. There was not even a single painting that made him able to paint the appearance of the girl he so longed for.

A warm summer-like smile with her crescent-like eyes became an appearance Noah would not forget. Her cheerful laughter that filled one room made her unable to smile as well. Still in his memory. The girl who likes to pull her hair is for the reason that it looks clean white without stains. Noah wants to catch it, but it's free. His pseudo-transparent body made it seem like it was touching the void.

"Isn't this cheating. You can touch me, and I can't" said Noah, who saw the girl sitting at the window swinging her legs.

The girl stuck out her tongue a taunting sign over the state she was in, "Capture Leila if you can, weeeekkkkk!!!!!"
