The Iron Maiden

Part 6

"I guess that's about it..."

In a dimly lit room stood an ashen haired maid that was finished wiping all the weapons that were stored in a certain table

The maid was none other than Lia

"Haaa....that damn master of mine...in what world do you just let your son beat up a fragile maiden?"

'Oh that is bad...well whatever, just let him throw his tantrums and play with him for a bit~'

Lia remembered what master had said which caused her to let out a tired sigh as she continues to ensure that her weapons are all in perfect shape. She would thoroughly wipe it and inspect it up close to see if the edge is still sharp and durable enough, she also swung some of the weapons to see if she's still used to it

Lia at the moment was shining a shorthand knife with a black handle. the blade of the knife was so shiny that Lia could see her own reflection in it, she stared at it for a while and became lost in thought

'But still...It's already been two years huh?... I think I'm finally getting used to this face'

When Lia was first brought to this world, she wasn't really used to her new appearance, after all, she had a European look and her hair and eyes were of a weird shade and was a far cry from her simple appearance in her past life

In fact, Lia found this entire world to be a far cry from her past life, Granted, it was like this because it's from a novel and all but the place that she was on seemed a bit too crazy, it was nothing like the rosy environment that she imagined from the book

'Well, not like I'm supposed to talk. People here have said how weird I am too'

Lia continued cleaning her weapons until the morning light began shining through the window of her room and began illuminating it

Lia didn't realize it, and only took notice of it when the light began hitting her face

"Huh...It's already that time? I didn't get to sleep at all again...oh well, I guess it's time to go"

Lia then somehow packed most of her weapons in a drawstring bag and grabbed the nearby basket beside her and proceeded to exit her room

(----)

The Garden of the Rosenblade family is said to be one of if not the most beautiful in the entire continent of Azis

And Lia could see why. the sheer size and the wide variety of plants and flowers, combined with the way they were arranged was enough to enchant her, she may not have an admiration for plants in her previous life but looking at the surroundings as she walks is enough to make her excited like a little child

'Well...technically I am a little child'

Lia thought to herself as she continued to walk around through the garden until she finally reached her destination, Unlike the previous sections of the garden, this one was a flat grassland, and only had a huge tree at the center

Lia could feel the morning breeze blowing through her face as she looks around

'So this is where the knights train huh?...the place is spacious so I could see them doing that...'

Lia's eyes landed on the tree, specifically at the leaves of it, she could see a faint crimson glow that came from it, and it didn't take her long to realize what it is

"Hmph...so you're finally here"

Lia walked closer to the voice and saw someone, It was a handsome young child that was sitting on one of the branches, he had a menacing atmosphere that seemed to suffocate all those who come close to it
