Chapter 21: Library
Once again the door opened.
...
Serena was already standing straight near her chair this time, pretty experienced from the previous incident. Terias on the other hand just pulled his pants up, quickly covering himself up.
The person at door was Rina again but this time she was here together with a kid, she was standing behind him. The kid smiled at Serena as he entered the room and rushed to hug Serena. Serena also smiled warmly at the kid.
"you should have waited for another few minutes, i was about to come and get you" she tried scolding the kid but her smiling face betrayed the intention of the words she spoke.
...
"I will send you the details of the task, sir Terias." Serena said as she left together with her kid.
Her tone changed into a formal and professional one, was it because of her kid? He had no idea.
"Guide him, he is allowed if he wishes to visit places." Serena ordered Rina
Terias already had his fun and he was satisfied to a great extent, standing up from his seat, he decided to go out.
The deal that Serena proposed was aligned with his goals or to be more exact, it became his new goal in this new life.
...
Previously, he did not really have any set objectives, but now he had plans to help Serena and explore this world's power system, especially his lifespan increase and the notepad of his.
He had planned to get some expensive books from Serena, if the deal deviated from the trend he had expected. Now, that the Earl was actually not present here, he could freely explore the books from Earl's library for free.
He had great expectations as the Earl's family was a few centuries old noble family, amassing a great amount of precious knowledge.
"With Serena's permission i should be able to easily access the books, even the important ones." Terias mumbled as he started to brainstorm the types of book he should read.
...
He needed to have a blueprint for the topics he was about to read, because the content in them was anyways going to be neatly recorded in the notepad or at least that's what he hoped.
So he planned to complete a series of a book from the beginner level to the mastery, if possible.
Although he had acquired little amount of knowledge from the Viscount's notes but except for the techniques like sense and the breathing technique, he had not really learned much.
It was not really possible for him to learn so much in the short span of time, and he was not really free to learn all of these in the hectic situation he had been placed in.
Though now he could start from the basics in the library and then connect dots with whatever technique previous Viscount had left in the notes.
...
"Where is the library? Could you please guide me to it?" Terias asked Rina, who stayed with him following Serena's order.
He put his hand inside his suit, turned off the recall stone as the crucial moment had already been recorded. He believed the recording of the blowjob just now would not prove to be of much importance.
He had already got the negotiations down, and not only did he get Serena, he also bagged the chance to take the Earl's other wife Alice Ressa. He wanted to finally acquire some knowledge and test out his ability.
"Library??" Rina asked in a slightly surprised voice, she was surprised a little as she heard the Viscount speak.
...
'The old man was actually getting his thing sucked by madam Serena. I know him, he is a Viscount and a highly reputed one at that. He is famed to have reached among the top of the Viscounts and that too without any politics, just his battle strength.' Rina was having those thoughts as she absentmindedly followed Terias in front.
She had no idea, as she was only following the Viscount to where he was going.
She was flustered about the incident as she had never seen her madam do it, she had by mistake only heard the noises sometimes. Being a young girl, she had not indulged in the pleasures of man and woman. The incident had led her pure soul distracted.
'What is he thinking? He is not annoyed at me for disturbing him during that, is he? Would he make me do the same and have his thing shove down my throat as punishment? no, no he should not.' Rina had her mind full with these thoughts as she feared her imagination would come true.
...
She had her fingers fidgeting nervously as she finally processed what the old man in front has asked for after a few seconds had passed.
The library was not really accessible to many but Viscount was a noble position directly below the Earl.
Serena, her madam also had some relationship with the man, she could not put restrictions to the Viscount by herself, that would be disrespectful. She decided to guide him to the library.
"Yes sir, please follow me" Rina answered politely, coming out of her absent minded thoughts.
'Yeah, i should guide him to the library. Madam Serena has ordered me to 'guide him', anyways he seems to have a unique relationship with her and she should not mind him entering library.' Rina comforted herself for the decision she made.
She did not want to disturb madam Serena for the third time to ask for permission explicitly, when she was finally spending time with young master Aron.
...
She guided the Viscount to the library as the man did not seem to be bothered by her presence, as if he was not seen by a servant while cheating with her married master.
When they finally reached the library, a large room with two study tables and tall bookshelves numbering to seven could be seen, the bookshelves were filled with books to the brim.
Terias was amazed at the number of books present. He expected the amount to be great and be in hundreds but this was far greater.
The world did not have the technology to digitally store data, the recall stone he had acquired was a fluke.
So the most information, he could get was from this library. He walked closer as he wanted to see whether the books have been categorized and which category seemed the most important for him.
He saw the attendant of Serena who had disturbed him, and also got a look at his member. She looked absentminded and slightly nervous.
