Old library

Inside a dark and huge library, a man was sitting on the floor with his head buried deep inside the books.

A girl entered the library and started sorting out books as well as cleaning them one by one. The library was huge but it didn't have much work to do. Mostly the scholars and upper-class people used to come here and all of them were very well-mannered except a few of them, so the library was always very clean.

She started roaming inside the library while humming but instantly stopped when she saw a handsome man who was sleeping on the floor. His eyes were closed. It was as if he fell asleep while reading. He was frowning and pouting while sleeping and looked a bit childish. Afraid that she will wake him up, she put one of her hands on her mouth to control her laughter. All the elites used to come here and if someone took an offense then the consequences, she and her father had to face would be dire.

After taking several deep breaths and stabilizing herself she crouched near him and gently shook him.

"Mister, hey mister you can't sleep here. Please get up", she gently said.

Rune was dazed after he was shaken up and it took him some time to get a clear view. He opened his eyes and saw a beautiful blonde-haired girl in front of him. She had blue azure eyes that dazzled him.

"I apologize, maybe exhaustion came over me, so I slept here", after coming out of his daze he sincerely apologized.

Seeing him apologize so sincerely made the girl unable to react. She knew that all the people that used to visit the library were elites with great manners but none of them had ever spoken to her so sincerely or maybe so softly. Everyone who used to come here treated her like an annoying fly.

She was a cheeky and helpful girl. Often, she would volunteer herself to help others but everyone used to look at her in disdain or with irritation. They always used to change their path when they saw her coming. When she was a kid she used to cry when people treated her like this but after she grew up, she became accustomed to their behavior thus Rune's sincere apology left her flustered.

Her cheeks became red like apples and shyly she shook her head, "it's fine you don't need to apologize. You can rent a room inside the library. We provide rooms and rental services to peoples who need to study inside the library for several days so you could apply for it at the main desk ". She sincerely suggested this to Rune.

"Thank you miss. Do you work here?" Rune asked.

"Well, yeah you could say so". She said with a smile which revealed a dimple on her left cheek.

"Can you tell me more about it?", Rune said. He never wasted his time on women but for some unknown reason he found her adorable and cute, so he asked another question to her.

"My father, Mr. Rubin is the owner of this library. This is the ancestral library and had always run by Rubin's generations. All the important books scrolls and information on the Reinstel empire could be found here", the girl said with a proud voice.

Rune became quiet for a moment before asking another question, "What is your name?"

"My name is Resel Rubin", she introduced herself with a smile.

"What's yours?"

"My name is Rune Taylor, the son of Brian Taylor", he also introduced himself calmly.

After knowing the identity of the man in front of him Resel became flustered and scared. Taylors were not just anyone and if he got offended, her father will skin her alive. "I am sorry

for my rudeness Mr. Rune. I won't disturb you again. You may resume your work" and

with that she timidly ran away from him.
