Chapter 233.2

“Yes, thanks to you, I’m resting well . ”

The old butler’s face glowed when he heard my answer .

“Thank God . If you have time in the evening, the lord has requested to have a meal together . ”

“Oh, that’s a bit tough . I’m still tired, so I want to rest more . ”

“Yes, then I will tell him,” The old butler said, trying his best to mask his disappointment .

“Then tomorrow…” The butler attempted again .

“No . ”

“Oh, alright…”

There was no sign of disappointment, but I could sense his tenacity .

“Well, I’ll see you again at lunchtime . ”

“Are you going?”

The butler and other servants had prepared a rather sumptuous breakfast, so it was a shame and a bit embarrassing to eat the food alone .

After staring at other people who were eating, I gently suggested that we all eat together, and they gladly agreed .

During mealtime, I became increasingly familiar with the butler’s mentality . He was a gentle, calm man, possibly because his task was to serve other people . Above all, he provided detailed explanations of the culture and knowledge of the surrounding area .

If possible, I’d like the old butler in my room all day .

“Yes, there are things we need to prepare . If you have urgent business, please call us . ”

When he sensed my hesitation, the butler handed me a small cube-shaped object from his pocket .

“It’s a calling machine . When you press the red button here, you’ll be able to get in touch with me, and I’ll respond as soon as I can . ”

The surprisingness of the object didn’t result from its performance, but its unusually compact size and small weight .

It was so light that it seemed as though there was nothing in it; it was no bigger than a finger, and it seemed like it would be easily lost .

“Can I press it once?”

The butler nodded in response .

When I pressed the red button, a similar button within the butler’s clothes began to vibrate; it was like a pager . The only difference was that numbers could not be sent .

“Are there other buttons connected to this pager?”

“Yes, and you’ll know who called you by the positioning of the button . The button that’s vibrating right now is the second one from above . We all have a fixed location . ”

“Who does the first button belong to?”

“Sung-Joo . ”

This was fun . The staff who cleaned the castle and the soldiers around Seongju all wore buttons, so I’d thought it was merely a fashion statement here, but it served for practical reasons .

“Do you need anything else?” the butler asked before leaving the room .

There was one thing I needed . “I want to learn magic here . Is that possible?”

Magic was a closed practice in any world, and in some cases, sharing knowledge and trying to purchase magical artifacts were considered taboo .

“Are you interested in Mado Engineering?”

“Yes, will it be okay?”

Was it not magic, but engineering? I became curious .

“Yes, of course . We have a variety of curriculums . Do you want a detailed guide on each curriculum?”

“Just give me one that’s beginner-oriented . ”

I didn’t know the content or organization of the curriculum, and it was likely that I wouldn’t understand it .

If possible, it’d be best to learn the basics first .

During the break, I wanted to learn as much as possible, but there was a possibility that I wouldn’t be able to get anything from being greedy .

“Then I’ll see you again at lunchtime . ” Before the butler left the room, he said his farewells once more, and in response, I returned the gesture .

“Kee-ek!”

When I said bye, the frog, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, began to follow me . The butler politely said farewell to not only me but also the frog before he left the room . After his departure, the room became eerily quiet .

Although several servants remained in the room, they worked quietly, not daring to make a sound . It seemed that even though we shared a meal, our relationship didn’t become any more intimate .

“Frog . ”

“Kee-ek!”

“Would you like to come in?” I asked while raising my hand, showing the taming ring I’d received from Kim Min-hyuk .

The best aspect of the ring was that it was able to form subpoenas with others, allowing me to summon them whenever I wished .

It created a sub-dimensional space of the summoned’s most desired environment . For a frog, it’d be more comfortable to rest in the sub-dimensional space rather than this room .

“Kea-ek!”

“Okay . Just stay here, then,” I exasperatedly told the frog, and laid back in bed .

As the bed applied magical effects to my body, I quickly slipped into a deep slumber . It wasn’t long before I had to wake up, but the exhaustion that weighed down my body made me want to continue to sleep .

Getting out of the bed proved to be a more difficult challenge than I’d expected .

[What are you going to do?] asked Seregia .

“I told you I’m taking a break . ”

Seregia didn’t respond to my answer, but its silence didn’t mean approval; it meant that it expected a more detailed explanation .

“I’ll be learning magic when the time comes . Oh, let’s go outside and look around from tomorrow . This is a pretty unique place . ”

The characteristics of the area that I saw when I first entered the stage were unusual .

I wanted to see how it truly was with my own eyes .
