Chapter 104: Bath with a Maid (2)
Status was established at birth, but that did not mean that a person could not obtain a noble title. Therwere commoners who received noble titles because they graduated from the Academy with outstanding scores, or those who received it because they made great contributions to the Empire.
A person could change his status with effort.
And now he had a new goal.
Surely, I must become a noble.
Today he had met heaven.
He would never have known if he had not experienced it. Envy invaded his heart when he thought that nobles received this treatment every day.
This treatment would make him happy every day.
He felt that he had seen a new world.
Now he had more motivation.
When he started walking, his heart filled with tension.
Now he had to face them.
Dersen & Rachel.
He didn’t know what they wanted to ask, but he couldn’t make any mistakes.

Dersen and Rachel turned their heads to look at Han Seong as he came into the room. Their eyes widened.
“…You’re more elegant than I thought.”
Dersen snorted. Rachel looked at him with a twinkle in her eye.
“You look very handsome.”
Han Seong now looked like a completely different person. A short time ago, he had an ungraceful appearance due to his training.
“Thank you.”
“Sit down. We’ve been looking forward to talking with you.”
Dersen nodded gently as Han Seong sat down at the round table.
They formed a triangle, and Rachel looked at the maid who was next to her.
“Excuse me.”
The maid put a tea cup in front of Han Seong.
“Thank you.”
“No need to thank.”
The maid, who responded nonchalantly but not rudely, stepped aside.
Rachel spoke with a smile.
“I hope this isn’t upsetting to you. I hadn’t considered that we had suddenly summoned you. I don’t want you to feel obligated to be here.”
Han Seong thanked her for her consideration. Posted only on NovelUtopia
“It’s an honor for me. It’s hard to meet people like you.”
“Thank you.”
Rachel smiled. He averted his gaze to Dersen, as if it was forbidden to look at her.
“Then I don’t think we need to introduce ourselves.”
“I agree.”
Rachel accepted her brother’s words.
He was a strange man.
Normally most people looked frozen when they were with them, but this man acted nonchalant.
She looked at the man who had transformed with the help of a maid.
When his dark hair was combed back, his face looked more attractive. The confidence in his eyes piqued her interest.
Anyone else would have complimented them endlessly.
He is indifferent. He only says what is necessary.
That’s what she liked most about him.
And it seemed that his brother didn’t have a bad impression about Han Seong either.
Even though he had asked her to meet him, he now seemed to be more curious than she was.
“Han Seong.”
She called out to him softly.
“Tell me.'”
The two made eye contact for a moment.
The man didn’t hesitate to look her in the eye.
“You can tell me about your fight against Leonhard. I’ve heard some rumors.”
“‘I, too, want to know how the fight ended in a draw.'”
“…Maybe the explanation will be longer, all right?”
“Of course.”
Dersen replied as if it were logical.
My brother is really interested in the art of spear.
In his childhood he was attached to that weapon.
His attribute wasn’t even related to the spear.
“Me too. Long conversations are more enjoyable.”
“Then, I’ll talk in detail.”
His voice, which showed his confidence, aroused her curiosity.
