Chapter 17: Suspicious Stats

(Night)

"Sorry, Laphae, I really have important business today and can't play with you."

"What important thing is it? I want to join too!"

"It's a very important matter that concerns my prosperous life. It has nothing to do with Yue."

"Are you going to play with other girls? Are you going to see Yue? It's okay, I wanted to play with both of you anyway. Or am I bothering your lovely dovey time?"

"How many romance dramas have you watched? Anyway, I said it's important, and it has nothing to do with Yue."

"You're already so close, calling each other by name after just one meeting. Well, I guess you've also recognized each other's parents as in-laws."

“And just like what I had said, that's just a misunderstanding…”

I was rescued by my mother, who jumped in and gently scolded Laphae from behind. "No, Laphae, you can't disturb someone when they're busy with important matters. A good woman knows to watch her man's back and support him silently when he's working hard. What a man needs most when he's striving is not obstruction but a woman's support."

My mother made Laphae's eyes shine with her words, then she jumped off the ground, raised her hands in front of her chest, and encouraged me, "Come on, Night . Although I don't know what you're going to do, I wish you success."

I'm sorry, but I really can't muster the energy right now. I've let down your good intentions. I just feel completely drained.

Anyway, with my weary body, I arrived at the Baron's mansion.

"Night, what's wrong with you? As a knight of the princess, your appearance matters. Today is an important meeting with a guest, and your demeanor represents the princess's reputation."

I had just arrived at the Baron's mansion when I received a lecture from Ines.

Ines was dressed as a maid, with beautiful golden hair and bright blue eyes. She had a serious expression and an icy beauty that made her look really pretty. She appeared to be less than twenty years old, but in reality, she was already twenty-seven. Let's not mention why she needed to stay young to survive.

In any case, as a royal guard of the former Green Kingdom, Ines possessed formidable strength, and she was probably the only one among the royal guards who had such power.

At the same time, she had an absolute loyalty to the royal family and the kingdom, making her Lotte's biggest reliance now.

But her overly serious personality was really something I couldn't handle.

It's just a little dark circle under my eyes, what's the big deal?

"Come over here, I'll do your makeup."

Well, for this serious present-day maid, this was definitely a very serious matter!

Helplessly, I accepted makeup for the first time in my life.

Night s, you read that right, the first time ever.

Even the other me (Yue), who was a girl, had never put on makeup. It turns out my male self, (Night), was the one who got to experience it first. Life is indeed strange.

But makeup was even more magical. With Ines working her magic, I actually saw myself looking refreshed in the mirror.

Great, I'm ready for the showdown.

Bring it on, Father (Yue father). I will defeat you without mercy.

—But before that, I have another thing to do.

The Duke's family had entered the mansion, but before the formal meeting in the reception room, I made an excuse to go to the restroom.

Well, both versions of me made an excuse and had a historic private meeting in the bathroom.

Don't get the wrong idea.

Huh? What should I not get the wrong idea about you ask? What's not to be misunderstood?

I don't know, but just don't get the wrong idea. I have important business to attend to.

The unexpected incident from yesterday left me flustered, and I almost forgot about the real matter at hand.

Anyway, after a brief encounter in the bathroom, I (Yue) handed the "Exclusive Skill Awakening Scroll" to me (Night), and then used "Appraisal" to check my (Night 's) current ability values.

This was still very important.

And then, my (Night 's) ability values came into view.
