34 The Youthful's Love Sparks Begins

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR – THE YOUTHFUL'S LOVE SPARKS BEGINS

 

The personal servant asked his Young Master just to verify and the young lad only stared back at him as he expected for answers.

 

'Heavens! The Young Master didn't recognize who she was?! That signature crimson-colored hair of hers is obvious to recognize within the Miris Continent?! Especially her eyes!'

 

He thought as he groaned and hunches his shoulders as he stared at the young lad with disapproving eyes.

 

"Young Master, you know what? This servant of yours didn't mean to be impolite to you, but I'll be blunt for now,"

 

The personal servant said as he took a heavy breathing as he proceeded.

 

"You're a fool," the personal servant answered in an impassive expression as he stared at his Young Master.

 

The young lad; "…"

 

'What is this insolent servant told to me?!' He thought as he gritted his teeth in aggravation as he scowled at the insolent servant of his.

 

"Are you offering for a death will, THEO?"

 

The young lad coldly said as he called his personal servant's name and the fellow named Theo flinch upon hearing that signature bitter tone and glare of his Young Master.

 

Of course, he had overstepped his boundaries the minute he declared those words, but you can't criticize him for being blunt.

 

The young lad didn't serve any thought to his servant as he strolled aside from him and reached through to the other people to look at their injuries.

 

"What's the condition?" He inquired as he looked around them.

 

However, the young lad noticed that the surrounding atmosphere seems a bit off.

 

He looked around as he saw that most of them were looking at him with either fear or anxiousness, that he couldn't understand why.

 

'O-okay? What's happening?'

 

He thought as he had a baffled expression whenever he glanced at them.

 

"Ahh… Y-young Master?"

 

One maid tried to catch his attention as she called him and the young lad looked at her when he saw the maid is trembling in front of him.

 

'Now what? I have done nothing! Why is this woman trembling like that?!'

 

He thought as he groaned annoyingly.

 

"What? Do you need to say something?"

 

He asked the maid, and he saw that the woman jolted from where she stood as he took a deep breath to calm himself not to shout at everyone.

 

'Why the heck are these people like that?! They became like this the moment that mysterious crimson-haired woman appeared…'

 

He thought as he paused for a minute as he looked back at the trembling maid in front of him and it looks like the surrounding people know about that crimson-haired woman.

 

"You!" He said as he pointed his fingers at the maid.

 

"M-me! Y-young Master!" The maid pointed at herself as she gulped.

 

"Tell me, who is that crimson-haired woman from earlier? It seems like most of you recognize her"

 

He asked the maid, and the woman stared at him horribly, as if she couldn't believe it.

 

"Y-young Master! You don't know her?!"

 

She asked him with shock plastered on her face and the young lad felt like his limit would reach soon.

 

"That's why I'm asking! Why are you trembling in fear like that?!"

 

He said frustratedly as he held his temple to ease the incoming headache that he was feeling.

 

The maid looked at him as she took a deep breath as she spoke.

 

"Young Master, let this servant of yours tell you something"

 

She made a paused for a minute as she looked back at the young lad with a serious expression.

 

"Even though no one had seen her face because of the black veil she is wearing, most of us could recognize her signature crimson-colored hair! Especially her mismatched crimson-lilac eyes!"

 

She exclaims as she told the young lad about the mysterious woman's appearance.

 

He understood nothing, but what caught his attention was the mismatched crimson-lilac eyes that the maid mentioned.

 

'Crimson-lilac eyes? Sounds familiar. Where did I hear about it?'

 

He thought as he think deeper to recall something when he heard those features.

 

A mysterious black-hooded woman with crimson hair and sparkling cold crimson-lilac eyes. A black veil that covers her lips, and not had any idea what she looks like.

 

A cold yet gentle voice that you would hear from her lips as if you were listening to a musical harmony that is being played.

 

After analyzing everything that he had on his mind, the young lad felt like a struck of lightning as he realized what he had done.

 

'So that's the reason these people looked at me like I'm some sort of idiot! Well yes, technically! I'm so stupid!'

 

He thought as he scolded himself mentally, and the young lad heard someone cough from his behind.

 

He went to look at his back and he saw Theo looking at him.

 

"Now, Young Master. Do you now recognize that mysterious woman?"

 

Theo asked the young lad, and he nodded as he slumped his shoulders because of his idiocy.

 

Theo sighed as he continued; "How come you haven't realized that you finally met Scarlette Overland? The woman you idolized for a very long time"

 

Theo said, and the young lad felt like someone throws a rock to his head as his thoughts went deeper.

 

Scarlette Overland…

 

A well-known SSS-rank adventurer and the most powerful woman within the Miris Continent that the young lad knew.

 

He had heard stories about that woman and even though he haven't met the woman personally, the young lad idolized her and he wants to become like her.

 

Strong, mysterious, yet humble.

 

He wants to meet the crimson-haired woman badly ever since he was young and his father tried his best to locate her.

 

Despite that, the woman is hard to reach.

 

Now that the young lad met her and witness how she fights as she defeated the S-rank beast right in front of them, his idolization had reached to another level.

 

This is no longer admiration but an infatuation that blooms inside his heart.

 

Just remembering how the woman fights makes his cheeks turned red as he held it with both hands.

 

'How am I going to face her once again!'

 

=END OF FLASHBACK=

 

He never expected to fall in love as he didn't believe in that word.

 

Love is only a statement. Just like that.

 

His parents never loved each other as they only married with one another because of a political marriage.

 

Ever since he was young, he thought that by marrying someone would only need mutual consent that would gain benefits with one another, just like how his parents are.

 

But when he met Scarlette two years ago, those words that he believed disappear like thin air and he sought after to look for the crimson-haired woman by himself.

 

However, he doesn't find her when he attends the Academy once again and since the academy had dorms, students could not sneak outside.

 

They could only go outside for important events since they are nobles and they have responsibilities to their respective households.

 

He snapped when he reminisces the past as he prepared himself to face Scarlette, together with her companions, and that made him halt for a second.

 

'Wait a minute! Since when did Scarlette take someone as her companion?!'
