Chapter 8 In The Forest

Hearing this she felt even more embarrassed and didn\'t speak.

"Okay if you don\'t like it then I won\'t do it from now on. Let\'s go and have breakfast." Max said and started walking toward the exit of the room.

Lilly suddenly reacted and grabbed his hand. "Young master, I-I told you yesterday that I\'m yours from now on. You can do anything you want to me and I don\'t feel bad about it. I just want young master to be happy."

Max was surprised by her sudden action but he collected himself and said "Lilly, like you want me to be happy, Just like that I too, want you to be happy. So I won\'t do anything that you don\'t like."

"But... but I l-like it when young master k-kiss me." She bashfully said.

"Oh! You like it, eh? So tell me how does it feel when I just kissed you now?" Max asked while staring at her.

"It-It felt like electricity was coursing through my body," Lilly said, staring at her feet while her face, neck and ears were tinged with red colour. She looked very adorable now.

Max sighed a sigh of relief. It looks like she also had some feelings for her young master and wasn\'t saying this because she didn\'t want to anger her master. Max clearly remembered when she asked him to promise to never abandon her. It looked like she wanted to be with him but was afraid he would leave her, after all, she was just a maid.

"Okay, I understand. Let\'s go now. After breakfast, I\'ll have to ask Emily when she has time to show me her magic." Max changed the topic as she was getting more and more embarrassed.

When Max went to the dining hall there was only Emily because the whole family only have dinner together not breakfast and lunch as they have different schedules to follow.

"Good morning Emily. Has everyone had breakfast already?" Max greeted Emily with a smile and asked.

"Some already had, others haven\'t yet. However, Why are you late for breakfast?" Emily asked in her usual \'I don\'t care\' tone.

"It was because of that fruit you gave me. It caused me to fall into a deep sleep. However, It was quite beneficial. I feel way better than before." Max replied while taking his seat.

Emily nodded.

"Lilly come join us!" Max invited her to sit beside him and have breakfast.

"Mm?" Emily frowned but didn\'t speak.

On the other hand, Lilly was given quite a scare. She said in a panic while waving her hands "No Young master, Please enjoy your meal. I\'ve something to do, for now, I\'ll excuse myself."

Max, however, wasn\'t that dumb. He could deduce that servants were not allowed to dine with their masters by Emily\'s momentary frown and Lilly\'s panic but he didn\'t force her to eat like before in case his family members make things difficult for her. _​

He had his fill while occasionally chatting with Emily. After they both had their breakfast, they decided to meet in their courtyard.

Max and Lilly were in the courtyard waiting while chatting and laughing occasionally. It seemed like they were not master and servant, but friends. Lilly was getting comfortable around him more and more. Max was happy about it because this was exactly what he wanted.

"If you guys are finished chatting, shall we go now?" Suddenly, A voice sounded out from behind. Max and Lilly turned around to see Emily who was looking at him with a strange expression.

Max smiled and asked, "Where are we going?"

"In the forest!" Emily replied curtly.

"Do we really need to?" Max asked when he recalled his memories that \'this\' Max and He both died in the forest or because they went in the forest.

Emily seemed to have understood what he was thinking. She said while walking out of the courtyard "Don\'t worry! You are going with me. You\'ll be safe and if you don\'t face your fears, how are you going to overcome them."

Max relaxed hearing this. It was true, he need to face his fears to overcome them And his safety was guaranteed with a two-star mage. So he didn\'t need to worry about anything.

A novice mage was usually ten times stronger than the best among normal humans. While a one-star mage was four times stronger than a novice mage. A two-star mage was more than two times of a one-star mage.

In simple words, They were classified according to their strength which was calculated by the amount of mana you have. A person\'s mana is calculated in units.

A normal healthy human usually has 10 mana units, A novice mage has 100 mana units, a one-star mage has 500 mana units, a two-star mage has 1000 mana units, a three-star mage 10000 mana units and so on.

A novice mage can fight tens or hundreds of normal humans at the same time and can come out unscathed. So one can easily imagine, how terrifying a two-star mage can be.

Max and Lilly followed her. They found some horses and a group of bodyguards who wore a knight\'s uniform.

"Get on your horses!" Emily shouted and with a light jump, she sat on her horse.

\'Ohh! She could have easily won a gold medal in Olympics with this jump.\' Max exclaimed in his mind.

"Hey! Emily, I don\'t think I can ride a horse on my own," Max said after everyone else started to get on their horses. He was a little unsure of her reaction as he didn\'t know if \'deceased\' Max knew this kind of thing or not but he as for never ridden a horse so he was unwilling to take a risk with his current weak self.

"It\'s fine. You can just ride with someone else. Just learn to do these things as soon as possible okay!" Emily said indifferently.

Knights didn\'t speak but they had mocking expressions on their faces. It was like they wanted to say \'What? a son of lord Viscount is this useless. He doesn\'t even know how to ride a horse.\'

Max sighed at this and wore a bitter smile. It was indeed unsightly for a noble like him in this world to not even know these things. But what can he do? He can\'t take risk of riding alone just to cover it up. He might fall from it get injured as his body was not even comparable to a normal human.

"Lilly you know how to ride right? I\'ll come with you." Max asked her.

"Yes, young master!" Lilly replied instantly. One could see she was a little happy that her young master asked her and not anyone else.

Max sat behind Lilly and grabbed her by the waist.

Following this, they all got on their horses and rode away.
