Alvíss should be able to turn it into something useful to her, so he just kept it for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then extended his hand towards her and without hesitation, Renelle accepted it. Besides, she had embarrassed herself in front of her butler enough for one night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus she had already decided to accept his obsession and from his feelings she experienced, holding hands was the tamest of all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian smiled as a shadow cocoon enveloped them and they immediately disappeared, reappearing above the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, he had used [Shadow Swap] to switch places with his clone that had just reached this place, after the first swap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avera’s twin moons still shone brightly above and the spirits still made the lake a beautiful scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like they had been in that dungeon for quite a while, and yet it seemed as if time hadn’t moved in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which it hadn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no clock around to let the two realize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So,\" she started, her tone returning to its usual composure, \"are you going to let go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian glanced at their joined hands for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, he didn’t want to let go, but as someone who was still supposed to be the lady’s butler, he had crossed quite a few lines, so he might as well put on a behavior appropriate for a servant right now....right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hesitantly, he released her hand, and for some reason Renelle could’ve sworn his expression changed for just a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to say something, but Decided not to, instead, her eyes shifted slightly to the bracelet on her wrist, then to his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This was your plan all along, wasn’t it?\" she muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To get a matching set of artifacts with my lady?\" he asked calmly, \"I wish I was that capable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was silence between the two as she slowly sat down on the grass, looking at the twin moons, before absentmindedly speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, in my past life,\" She started, \"I was so obsessed over the prince that I didn’t have time to even idly sit and look up at the moon like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian followed her lead, also sitting on the grass and looking at her instead of the moons, but she was so lost in thoughts that she didn’t even notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s truly beautiful, isn’t it?\" Renelle asked, still looking at the moons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very,\" he answered, not really referring to the twin moons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then slowly turned towards him and asked in a serious tone, \"were you ever going to tell me that you were not from Avera and that this world is a picture book back in yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" he answered before adding, \"but only when I was completely sure that there wouldn’t be any side effects or consequence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I figured as much,\" Renelle said with a chuckle before going silent for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your world is a fascinating one,\" she spoke up again, still looking up in the sky, \"I wonder how it’s like, living in a world without magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boring, bleak and lacked all the spark that Avera has,\" Adrian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" Renelle curiously turned to him, \"and why’s that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were not there,\" he answered honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he was in Avera, and sitting right next to her, Earth looked even more bland simply because she was here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re really hopeless,\" she muttered with another chuckle before standing up, \"we should head back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood,\" he nodded and followed suit, taking her hand and teleporting directly in front of her dorm building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian then let go of her hand and spoke up, \"thank you for the reward, my lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renelle looked at his expression for a while longer before saying, \"goodnight Adrian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that, she calmly walked into the building without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian remained where he stood for a few seconds before a faint smile appeared on his face as he disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodnight, my lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian reappeared high above his dorm building, standing on the roof as he looked down at the academy grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Specifically at the founder’s golden statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even from afar, you can feel it’s pressure, right?\" A familiar voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts causing him to look up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floating directly above him was exactly who he expected,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headmistress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her red eyes were subtly glowing and there was a small smile on her face, but her aura was as threatening as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm,\" Adrian nodded as he looked back at the statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now then,\" headmistress Evelina slowly landed beside him, \"I saw that you discovered the spirit lake and even the dungeon hidden beneath.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been watching him all this while and according to what she ’saw’ he had been specifically looking for that place, as if he had prior knowledge of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This should be impossible, since beside her and her father, no one else should have knowledge of its existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Adrian discovering it with little to no effort was... interesting, to say the least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you mind telling me how, my dear student?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1015,"2026-06-02T10:56:10.128Z",1,"novelbin.me","390bbbe1338b58e72b4502f76364a187c5b1ddfc5020ba2e2fb82b573c53e21c","the-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-chapter-58","the-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-chapter-8",146,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-cover.jpg"]
