The Spirit of Modern Women in the Ancient Kingdom

Chapter 9 Mysterious Forest

Towards midnight came the sound of the door opening, the sound of footsteps settling like a thief.

Ellora rolled around - rolling agitatedly on top of her bed, she still could not close her eyes. He was very worried about Raven who was still not home, because he was getting used to the presence of the man.

When he heard the door open, he quickly got out of bed and ran out of the room to see it. Sure enough, Raven was seen sneaking up and walking towards her own room, "Wait! Why did you just come home? From anywhere? From morning till midnight, what are you doing out there?" Asking questions out of his lips, he was really worried about the man.

Raven jumped in shock, her body instantly sculpting. He had deliberately walked slack because he thought the woman had fallen asleep, especially with her current appearance is very messy he felt embarrassed. Her clothes were so dirty and smelly because she had only been working for the first time, so had not prepared any clothes to change.

Ellora walked over, she smelled sweat from Raven's body. "Answer! Why just dumbass? Look at your dirty clothes and your body smells of sweat. You didn't do anything weird outside, did you?!" Search Ellora.

The man quickly shook his head, "I just went to work, you said that we don't have money so as a man of course I have to work hard. I got two jobs today, so go home very night." Obviously Raven is at length.

Ellora was stunned when she heard him, she stared at Raven's messy appearance as she felt pity.

"really? Sorry, Raven. I was just worried about you, so I was carrying it like that. Yeah, you haven't eaten, have you? I'll warm up the food, so you go take a warm bath and change your clothes." Ellora said the attention she softened her voice.

Ellora's attention immediately warmed her heart, she had not had dinner. He had only eaten a piece of bread this afternoon, but he had never lacked anything in the Kingdom.

As he worked hard all day, he could feel the suffering of ordinary people. Even though he had already worked hard at the dock, the result was only getting a few silver coins. Finally he continued to find additional work, he was accepted as a manager at Istal horse an upper class as a steward of horses from afternoon until 8 pm.

"Why are you still dumb?" ellora asked, seeing that man still standing there.

Raven immediately went to clean herself up to the room and immediately came out after her body was clean and changed into clothes. He came to the small dining table, there was already a lot of food that was very complete. Unlike usual, at a table full of vegetables and side dishes of various kinds, of course just by looking at it has made the man tasteful.

"You cooked all this? Is there something going on." Ask Raven curiously.

"I was just doing some medicine and bringing some parts home. Now eat fast, you must be tired and want to rest immediately." Ellora's Order.

"Treatment?" Ask Raven again.

"Have it, don't ask too many questions. Later if there's a chance, I'll tell it." Ellora replied again.

"You eat too." Raven.

"I ate earlier, because I'm hungry I can't wait for you."

Raven nodded, finally eating by herself.

Ellora helps to squeeze food onto Raven's plate, she's like a wife serving her husband.

Raven smiled because tonight she constantly felt the warmth of Ellora, she felt it was not in vain she had worked hard.

"Eat everything, this is healthy and nutritious food. When you work, you've spent a lot of energy, I just happened to buy this meat." Ellora said, still taking food for him, he stamped the beef on Raven's plate.

"Tomorrow if you're going home again the night you are now, I'll prepare warm water for your bath will also cook a healthy meal every night. But if it's too late like today, I'll just prepare it, I won't wait for you to come home." Ellora said again.

"thank you. But why are you so good tonight?" Raven asked, when in fact her heart was really very happy, Ellora was like a wife who was taking care of her husband.

"Because from now on, you who have worked hard to find money for our lives. So I'll take care of everything at home and take care of you too, okay! Don't think too much about it, I have no more intention than that. We're just gonna stay like this, as friends." Ellora said firmly.

Raven actually understood Ellora's words to her, the woman felt they were both just responsible for each other. He also knew Ellora did not have any feelings for him.

He smiled wryly, and he liked the girl even more. Especially with Ellora's tenderness towards him tonight, it seemed like he had already fallen in love with her.

The two of them stopped the conversation, Raven just kept putting delicious food into her mouth.

"Raven, I'm so sleepy. I'll go to bed first" said Ellora.

He was really tired today, even just had his head touched his eye pillow immediately closed.

Likewise with Raven because this was the first time he worked, his body felt crushed and he fell asleep immediately.

The next morning Ellora woke up first, intending to wake up early every day starting this morning. He had just finished preparing breakfast for Raven.

Raven was ready to go to work, she was so happy to welcome that warm morning.

"Thank you for the breakfast" he said as he began to eat his breakfast.

"Yes, I have also prepared a meal for you, bring it for lunch later" Ellora said.

Raven looked at the face of the woman across the table, at the moment she felt as if nothing was happier than her life. He was willing to live like this forever, even though every day had to work hard.

After Raven left, Ellora had no idea what to do today. He also went to the forest behind his rental house because from the first time he came here he had not had time to walk the road into the forest, he went down the path and went deeper and deeper.

While he was still walking, a cute white rabbit passed in front of him. He was surprised when the rabbit stopped jumping and looked at him deeply.

As the two black pupils of the rabbit's eyes grew like a swirl of a black hole that was about to swallow him, Ellora gasped at him. But when looked back the rabbit's eyes changed as usual back, like the rabbit's eyes in general.

The rabbit jumped away and in an instant it was invisible, Ellora who wanted to continue going deeper finally undo his intentions. He immediately turned his back to the house, as he felt something strange in the forest. Maybe tomorrow he will return if he has the courage to go into the forest again.

Ellora went to the store to buy ingredients for cooking, but while she was walking back home carrying a fair amount of groceries, in the middle of the road she collided with a woman. It was a beautiful young lady, judging from her appearance it seemed to be from among Nobles.

"Sorry, Miss." Ellora immediately apologized for hitting her, while the young woman only looked at her with one eye and with a look of condescending eyes.

"Hey! What is it with you sorry to be able to solve everything?! look at my clothes being so dirty, you won't be able to replace them!" The young lady even snapped at him.

"Just look at your shabby clothes, you definitely don't have the money to change my clothes, do you?!" he continued with insults coming out of his mouth.

"Who says he can't replace it, I'll replace it now!" Suddenly there was a voice of a man who was none other than Raven.

When the young lady turned her body, she immediately shouted happily and immediately ran to hug Raven. Her behavior made Ellora a little upset, but she immediately removed her feelings.

"Oh! Brother Everald, I can finally find you. All the information about your whereabouts came to me too late. But it's okay, I've found you now, right?" with the spoiled voice of the young lady talking to Raven, the woman was also twitching on her arm.

Raven felt wronged, her eyes glancing at Ellora. But he saw nothing in Ellora's eyes, not even a hint of shock seemed to exist.

Raven felt calm and immediately let go of the embrace of her best friend from among the Nobles.

The young woman was a Princess of a Noble, she was named Eloisa Athelualba.
