My Seductive Childhood Villain
Chapter 10 - Internal Pain
After the sparring session, which lasted lunchtime, Noah kept on wielding his sword, practicing his stances and bladework.
He froze upon hearing a little voice coming from his right side.
Turning his head, he saw me walking towards him, a glass of chilled water in my hand.
Emma Blake
Are you thirsty? I got you some cold water...
Noah Everfall
Don't you have a maid to do this type of thing?
It was a legitimate question.
Emma Blake
Well, I want to get to know you better. Besides, Darlene has been walking around all day. It would be cruel of me to ask her.
He took the glass of water and just like Robert usually did, he downed the contents in a record time.
Noah Everfall
What's your name again?
Emma Blake
Can I call you by your name?
He turned towards me, avoiding eye contact, and nodded.
I shot him a bright smile before sitting down on a rock.
Emma Blake
Have you finished your training for today?
Noah Everfall
I was about to go to the library to study.
Emma Blake
Study what? What are you into? I love magic!
Noah Everfall
I could tell.
Noah Everfall
But why did you heal him?
Emma Blake
What do you mean? Is there a reason why I shouldn't have healed him?
Noah Everfall
Well, he's a lesser rank than you. Surely the Duke must have showed you that.
Emma Blake
But he was hurt and I wanted to heal him.
Emma Blake
Even if he is a guard and I'm a Lady, I shouldn't watch him in pain when I can do something about it!
Emma Blake
But... I can't do anything for you.
I looked up at him, my eyes sad. Suddenly, he met my gaze for the first time.
Emma Blake
You're hurt but I can't heal you.
Then, he understood what I was talking about.
Physical wounds heal, but when someone abuses you mentally, it's harder to get rid of the marks, even if they are gone now.
Emma Blake
What can I do to help you?
I looked at him, my face looking like an open book.
I didn't keep anything back and unlike the manipulative women that he's met in his life, including children, it felt so nice to talk to someone who wouldn't spread rumours about weakness or use you to gain better status.
Noah Everfall
Your smile purges evil in a lot of people. It gets rid of negative aspects of their life.
Noah Everfall
A smile is more powerful than you think.
At that moment, I felt like I had made a breakthrough.
This was the first real conversation that I've had with Noah ever since he got here a week ago.
Noah Everfall
So... what kind of magic do you like?
