Chapter 14 - Comfortable

It's been a few days since I've sent the letter for parley to where Samantha was. I didn't exactly know the current place of where they were as they are constantly moving from town to town. But knowing the plot, I gave the rider some general description of where they could be. It didn't long before the rider found her and gave them my letter. Fortunately, it seemed that my request for parley might have changed her mind as according to the rider, they were approaching faster after delivery. So it would take a week at most for them to come here. But the problem was that the rider didn't get any other information then that they were approaching fast. No mention of whether my letter was received with good intentions or not. I was a little skeptical and scared that I might have instead brought my disaster earlier. So to forget about that, I trained. I thought that if I can't sleep anyway then I better make it so that my body had to sleep. Every day, I wake up at 5 or 6ish then go running on the hill behind the house. It was my private property so other than Anna, nobody came and laughed at the fat guys attempt at running. It was a great struggle and every moment I wanted to quit and eat a bit of that food there, but I didn't. Thankfully, my mindset changed as I saw the changes it brought. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It wasn't much but I could see that I could run longer and my stamina was better than the previous day. Well… I wasn't the one who noticed that but it was Anna. She saw that each day my speed increased by a tiny bit… which didn't seem enough. But have you ever seen a person that has actual improvement just the next day after training? I haven't and so hasn't Anna, who by the way couldn't stop herself from praising me. Seriously it felt like, if I let her continue on like that she might as well sing. "That was very good, young master." There she goes again. "That must be the best timing you had." Yeah but only by a few seconds. "Your stamina to get back up is so good." Well I eat a lot. "And I don't think anyone has greater talent in the world then you." Yeah you thin-… I can't argue with her on that. I got up from the ground as I found my stamina fully replenish back. Somehow my stamina would always replenish after a moment or two, even after doing long runs multiple times. "Anna, I know that you're trying to encourage me, but you don't have to say about everything I do." ... "Master… am I annoying you?" There she does the puppy eyes… sigh… not the puppy eyes. "No- no it's not that, I just feel that you are saying all that to pump me up." "But I believe in everything I said." She told me with a straight face as I thought about how to get out of this. Fortunately, someone else came to help. "Master, If I may." Old Redwick came before us and asked. "Yeah, what is it?" I said as Anna gave me a glass of water and started to wipe my sweat. "A rider came wearing the Religias family emblem." Anna stopped wiping my open back. "So they are already here then." "Yes and the rider is asking where you want to do the parley." "Tell him, it will be at the house." Old Redwick creased his brows, "The house, master?" "Yes" "I'm afraid that would seem inappropriate." "Why?" Now I was confused. "Well, doing a parley in somebody's house is inappropriate, because both of you are in a position to fight and placing a parley in somebody's property could grant the owner, somewhat of an advantage and… that is why it's considered inappropriate." "Oh! You mean that I would attack her behind the back." "I'm not implying any of that-" "But they could think it like that huh." Redwick nodded as I thought for a moment before saying. "Tell the rider that it will be at the house and if she refuses then, I will change it to another place." Old Redwick didn't understand what I was aiming for, nonetheless he nodded. "As you say, master." Old Redwick then went away. "Are you sure that is the right choice?" Anna asked. "Well, let's just say I want to learn about something." Anna became more confused but didn't ask. "Okay let's go, help me change into something." "Alright master." ... Redwick knocked on the door and went inside. "Master, the madam is almost her-" He stopped when he saw the dress I was in. I was wearing a red and yellow long robe made from fur and underneath it was a undershirt made from merilo wool. Then for pants I was wearing comfy black plump pants. "So she accepted it then" "Oh!... yes… the madam is here." "Okay, I am ready too let's go." "Master… do you really want to go out there… like that?" Redwick said pointing at my outfit that screamed inappropriate. "Yes, I am. It's been sometime since I wore comfortable clothes so why not now." "But-" "Don't worry about it," I waved him off, "Anyway she's already here so I might as well go now." I said and walked away before he could say anything. Old Redwick saw his young master almost jogging away to the door as he asked Anna. "You could have tried to stop him." "I did, but he wouldn't listen, all the young master was saying was that he wanted to be as comfortable as possible for the next moment." Redwick nodded after thinking about it. "He's not wrong about that." He said and they both joined me. I walk toeards the red gate as the servants who had lined up on the sides glanced at me with different eyes. Ignoring their stares I grab the handle as I ready myself. 'Let's see if you actually are what the author wrote.'
