The afternoon sun in the city of Heidelberg was still faintly visible, with an increasingly beautiful blue sky. From where he stood, Rey could see how the town was so well organized, and the people there seemed to interact peacefully.

He liked this city. Heidelberg.


Luana was still standing, moving her legs, and was starting to ache and inwardly wondering when Rey would leave this room so that she could at least lie down for a while before Mare came again at five o'clock, as the servant said earlier.

Rey turned around. Returning his gaze to the increasingly awkward Luana, the man snorted softly.

"Sit down," he said. Putting one hand in his pants pocket, Rey stood right in front of the transparent window.


Luana breathed in slowly. Her legs were aching, and she moved to reach her bed. Taking Rey's place, Luana held onto the edge of the bed with mixed feelings.

This didn't feel right. And she did not like being in the same room like this with the noble.


"Uhm, that's..." Luana started talking again, trying her best to get Rey out of there as soon as possible.

"Tell me," Rey replied flatly.

"Mare said she would come at five to help me get ready for dinner," Luana said quietly. Rey seemed to be paying attention, and the man tried to listen.

"So?"

Luana was wringing her fingers now.

"I was just planning to take a short break before Mario came over," Luana said again. "But it was delayed because we were unconsciously chatting, and..."

"And holding hands?" cut in Rey quickly.

Luana widened her bead, not expecting Rey to cut her off so quickly. Meanwhile, the nobleman seemed to be smiling sarcastically, who knows what he meant.

"That's not it!" Luana quickly denied it. "I didn't even realize and just..."

"I don't care about that," Rey cut in again. "It's your business who you want to come into contact with. But if I may make a suggestion, at least deal with men of the same caste as you. Why would you choose a lowly man like him?"

Luana's heartbeat immediately increased sharply, unconsciously squeezing her fingers tightly now.

Rey's eyes seemed to be so clearly looking at her indifferently, with a sarcastic smile still clearly printed on the man's face.

Damn it. What an arrogant nobleman!

Luana wanted to curse, but she knew she would probably die when that happened. Rey shouldn't know about who she really was, and she should keep her resentment quiet.

On the other hand, Rey felt more and more happy for some reason when he saw that Luana's expression had now changed to annoyance. The woman's eyes were perfectly rounded, with an angry hue emanating from her eyeballs.

Damn it, Rey was starting to like that look.

"You can come out now," Luana said with bated breath, trying not to raise her voice as she told her sentence. She didn't want to add more fatigue to her body, and the sooner Rey left, the better.

But Luana would not easily get what she wanted because Rey laughed even more mockingly.

"Out where?" the man asked.

Luana blinked impatiently. It turned out that Rey Lueic was a late thinking.

"Go back to your room," Luana pleaded. "Please, I really need to rest before Mare comes later."

Rey ignored her, of course. The man did not answer immediately but swung his steps towards the closet where Mare had arranged Luana's clothes moments ago.

Luana followed the movement of Rey's body, cheering inwardly that the man was finally going to leave her presence.

But the cheering stopped because Rey also stopped right before setting the door. Luana frowned, looking at Rey's back, who was now moving to pull the closet door.

"Which room is mine?" Rey said, breaking the silence. This made Luana frown even more, and her breath started to catch.

The man opened the closet door wide, turning back around to give Luana a mocking smile.

Luana almost fainted when she found the man's clothes in the closet, with her clothes on the other side.

Being in the same closet, Rey and Luana's clothes were side by side, and they seemed to get along.

Oh my, what's going on?

Luana's shoulders almost sagged. Who put the man's clothes in there? And why were they in her closet?

Rey chuckled softly.

"Which room, Luana?" he asked again. "So that you know, this is my room. Long before you came here, this was my room."

Luana wanted to faint.

"Ah, and that bed," Rey pointed at the large bed that Luana was still sitting on sweetly. "That bed you claim to be your bed is the one I have been sleeping in all this time. I gave this information willingly, in case you didn't know."

Luana's world was about to collapse.

Her lips were tight, and her hands started to break out in a cold sweat.

She was in Rey's room, and all her clothes were there too. Don't tell us they were going to...

"You can rest," Rey said again. Luana snapped out of her wandering trance, looking back into Rey's eyes.

"I'm going to move-"

"I'll take a shower first." Again, Rey had cut off Luana's unfinished sentence, making the woman bite her lip unconsciously.

Rey took a T-shirt and pants from the closet and walked casually towards the bathroom. But after only a few steps, the man had already turned around.

He looked deeply at Luana, who was still sitting stiffly on the edge of their large bed.

"And one more thing," Rey said firmly. "No one is going to move. Not you, or not me."
