A Deal With The Frigid Wizard - Chapter 10

Chapter 10

When she got out of the bath after enjoying a full body bath, the rabbit doll handed her a towel. Jaeha brushed her body by herself, though her long hair was too cumbersome to dry, so she left it in the hands of the doll.

The doll seemed to be able not only to imbue the device with magical powers, but also to unleash simple magic.

The dry magic cast by the rabbit doll quickly made Jaeha’s hair become soft.

‘Magic is pretty convenient.’

[ “Would you like to wear a bathrobe or a dress?” ]

“It’s dry, so I think I can put on my clothes.”

[ “Which would you like, the light indoor dress of the Latio Continent style or the clothes Miss Jaeha was wearing? By the way, the clothes that Miss Jaeha was wearing must be washed. Foam magic and rinse magic can produce a similar effect to washing. However, since it is the first time using it in the clothing, there is a 5% chance that the clothes may be damaged during the washing process. If the clothes are washed successfully, it takes about five minutes from washing to drying.” ]

It was a 5% chance, so it should be a good level to ignore, right? Let’s believe in the power of the doll…

After a moment’s contemplation, Jaeha asked to wash her old clothes.

Hearing her words, the bunny doll who disappeared and returned, repaid her trust. Jaeha put on clean clothes and headed to Hisran.

As another magic doll had worked hard, he was sitting on the sofa in the tidy bedroom, reading a thick book. The figure looked pretty intelligent.

‘If he closes his mouth, he looks like a pretty good guy.’

Jaeha clicked her tongue inside, and he noticed her presence.

Then, Hisran put his book down on the table and gazed at her.

“How was the bathroom? It’s not bad, right?”

“It was great. The doll is even better. Thank you.”

Although there was a bitter and hard side, she honestly expressed satisfaction with the facilities and the doll’s service.

A beautiful smile appeared on Hisran’s lips.

“My magic doll is outstanding. They have been improving and learning over and over again.”

“Well, why does it look like a rabbit? It’s cute, but…”

It was an image that didn’t match the man in front of her.

“I got recommended.”

His indifferent reply continued.

Was he following someone’s opinion…? Without realizing it, Jaeha wondered about its existence. What kind of person would it be to influence that handsome wizard?

‘It must be a precious person, for example, a lover.’

She didn’t like Hisrain’s slyness, but objectively, he was a man who would have made many women cry.

“Because my mother likes animals. Especially rabbits.”

Jaeha’s brow, which had been frowned upon without realizing it, returned to its original state.

“Hmm, I see.”

“So, there is an animal farm in the Marquisate’s territory that raises rabbits, deer, sheep, and others. As my mother was widely known, many people want to present animals with cute appearances to the marquisate. Most of them got declined moderately because of safety concerns.”

“Marquisate? You are a wizard… Are you noble?”

“The only child of Marquisate Ephesion of Kinus Empire.”

“Marquis… Is that a high rank?”

“After the Duke.”

It seemed that it was the ‘marquis’ that Jaeha knew. The man with whom she spent one night with, turned out to be a big shot.

“Aren’t you hungry, anyway? What kind of food do you like?”

“As long as it’s not fishy, ​​it’s fine.”

Nodding his head, Hisran called the doll and ordered breakfast for two. It knew how to cook more than just making drinks. If introduced in Korea, it was a capability that deserved a standing ovation from self-employed students and housewives.

Jaeha looked at the doll with a new look of covetousness.

“Why are you looking at a doll like that?”

“Unbelievable! If you have a doll like that, you should cherish it.”

“…Do you like it?”

“Because it’s convenient.”

Hearing her answer, Hisran’s eyes lit up. Moments later, the stuffed rabbit came with food for two on a wheeled tray.

A diet consisting of creamy soup full of mushrooms and soft-looking white bread, fresh vegetable salad, and potato salad, scrambled eggs, thick bacon and sausage, de-stalked strawberries and grapes, and sliced ​​oranges; could not be said that it was light, even with empty words.

Needless to say, it was abundant.

When she smelled the delicious smell, Jaeha could feel a rush of hunger that she was unaware of because of various shocking events such as having s*x with a stranger and moving to another world.

Before she threw herself into the Han River, she starved for a day, so it was natural for her stomach to rumble at the smell of food…

Seeing the liveliness in her eyes, Hisran smiled and advised her to eat.

The creamy mushroom soup was fragrant, and the bacon and sausage looked just right. The salad and fruits were fresh and had a very good texture.

In her mind, she wanted to eat sausage first, although if she just put food in her stomach after starving for several meals, it would seem to cause a 100% stomachache. Jaeha ate the soup slowly. It wasn’t until she finished the soup that she got her hands on the egg scramble and potato salad.

Seeing her eat slowly but never resting her hands, Hisran uttered with a proud look on his face.

“You are well.”

“Did you expect to eat quietly like a noble lady?”

“No, it looks good. I like people who eat well. My mother and the deputy masters also chew food slowly every time they eat, so it’s a pity from the standpoint of watching them. They don’t know the pleasure of eating. It’s like missing half of the joy of life.”

“Oh, that’s what I think.”

She spit it out without much thought, but Hisran replied with a happy smile.

“I think we get along better than we thought. Body and values.”

“I wish the former example was omitted.”

“I remember that you obviously liked it, too. Don’t you know how difficult it is to find a person who fits your values ​​well in a short life?”

Then, Hisran continued to speak out about his mother’s preference for vegetarian food. He had no choice but to eat those meals with his parents, even without her questioning, and about the extreme unsuitable eating and nagging of the deputy masters.

Even though Jaeha listened to his dissatisfaction with one ear and out through the other, she caught some information.

“If my mother likes cute things and is on the soft side, my father is the exact opposite. In a word, it’s like fire. Big fire for others, warm bonfire for mother.”

“What is that? So, what about you?”

“Um, a torch maybe.”

A gentle and kind mother, a father who cares and loves his wife. Hisran’s home, Marquisate Ephesion, seemed to have a warm atmosphere unlike any other chaebol* in Korea.

‘Did you get a good home education? That this man is acting rotten, but is strangely responsible and keeps the line.’

And, she also learned that there are five spaces for wizards called Magic Towers on this continent. There was a yellow tower in the center of the continent, a blue tower in the east, a white tower in the west, a black tower in the north, and finally, a red tower in the south.

For Hisran, he was good at all kinds of magic, but his main specialty was flame-based magic or something like that.

‘You’re doing well, really.’

There were usually two deputy masters under each tower representing each magic tower.

Unusually, an identical male twin wizard was in charge of the tower head of the red tower. They look so alike that it is difficult to tell who is who, although they are surprisingly easy to tell apart because they have 180 degrees of personality.

“The older brother, Zephiroth, always has a smile on his face and treats people politely. Most say he is kind and gentle. On the other hand, his younger brother, Zeyran, is usually expressionless and harsh. So there are some voices of disappointment.”

“What do you think?”

“Well, to me, both are similar. One is the type that breaks bones with a smile while the other is the type that nags with a cool expression and then snaps out.”

“If you work properly as a tower master, won’t both of them be nagging in vain?”

“Listen to me. Unless there are special cases, the tower masters are usually selected in order of magic power. The tower master is the person who leads the tower with overwhelming magic and magical skills. I usually take responsibility for the big things, so it’s fair that the chores and the paperwork processing are handled by a different person like the deputy masters.”
