Chapter 52: Alicia Meets Lily!
*Knock*
A beautiful black-haired girl knocked on the rupenwood door in front of her. But even after waiting for a few seconds, there was no response.
"It seems he is still asleep."
With a slight hesitation, she finally opened the door.
"I am coming in~"
As her beautiful turquoise eyes fell on the person sleeping on the bed, her lips curled up into a smile.
She gestured to the maids behind her to bring the meal inside and then leave quietly without making a sound.
The maids nodded, obeying their future lady's order, and did what was told.
As soon as the maids left Luis' room. Alicia's attention turned back to the sleeping Luis. With a faint smile, she walked up to him.
"Luis~"
She called out to him, but he didn't wake up. Alicia raised her voice and called out to him once again.
"Luis!"
"Hmm..."
A slight groan was heard, but Luis still didn't wake up. Alicia raised her hand to shake him a little.
But abruptly.
"!"
"Kya?!!"
Her hand was grabbed, and with a strong pull, Alicia fell on the bed. Then Luis rolled around and hugged her like a body pillow.
Alicia was in a daze for a moment as she remembered how she ended up in this embarrassing position. Shame clouded her face as she gritted her teeth and glared at him.
"LUIS!"
Alicia called out sharply.
But when she saw him still pretending to be asleep. Her expression became even more furious.
"Good, good, just keep pretending and die."
Saying that, she raised her free hand and a sharp icicle appeared above them. With a wave of her hand, she shot it toward the sleeping Luis.
Just when the icicle was about to hit his face. Luis' body disappeared, and the icicle stabbed a hole in the bed at Luis' previous position.
Appearing a few meters away from her, Luis complained aggrievedly.
"What was that for?!"
Alicia rolled her eyes and looked at him coldly.
"Do you still need to ask?"
Luis pretended to be thick skin and said, "Isn't it fine? We are engaged."
Alicia's face was a little red. She looked at him with a plain expression and said, "It's still too early for that."
"That means we can do it later," Luis said with a smirk.
Alicia, subsided anger, rose to another level. She raised her hand and a dozen of such icicles appeared surrounding Luis.
"Hey, hey, I was just kidding," Luis said, a little nervously. Although he could easily dodge them, he knew angering her further will have no good ending for him. After all, who asked her to be his fiancee?
Alicia didn't say anything, nor did she remove those icicles as she kept looking in his direction.
Seeing this, Luis could only back down this time. But inwardly, he decided to punish this aggressive girl a little in the future.
"Okay, I'm sorry. Okay. I won't surprise you like that anymore."
Alicia didn't know why. Instead of feeling satisfied, she felt a little annoyed when she heard that he wouldn't do such things anymore.
Shaking her head, she snorted and said, "Just don't forget what you said."
"I won't." Although Luis said that with a serious expression. Inwardly, he was smiling, looking at her reaction. 'Even if I can't surprise you like this. There are still many ways to surprise you.'
Alicia flicked her fingers and all the icicles disappeared into thin air. Then, looking at him, she said, "The meal is here. Go and wash yourself. I'll wait."
Luis nodded and went to the bathroom to wash his face and clean up a little.
A few minutes later, Luis came out as he looked at Alicia's back, setting up his meal on the table.
He walked up to her with light footsteps and praised her.
"You will become a virtuous wife in the future."
Alicia, who was a little surprised when she heard his words, immediately became a little shy.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky."
Luis nodded wholeheartedly, agreeing with her.
"Well, indeed, I hit a jackpot."
"You and your big mouth." Although her tone sounded sharp, the sweet smile on her face betrayed her.
***
As Luis was still eating his meal, he looked up at Alicia, who was staring at him, and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep? It's quite late." Luis looked at the time. It was 11 pm.
Alicia shook her head and said impatiently, "I'll sleep after you show me your invention."
Luis looked at her in surprise. "I didn't think you would be so interested."
Alicia nodded and admitted, "Normal gadgets or inventions wouldn't have interested me."
"But," she raised her head sharply, and looking at him she said, "If it's something you made. I'm sure it won't be something simple."
"Oh, why do you think so?" Luis asked curiously.
"Because you don't do anything meaningless. Everything you do is properly planned. As if you know those things will be useful in the future." She answered a little thoughtfully.
Luis' eyes narrowed hearing her keen analysis. 'Sure enough, even if she is young. You can't underestimate her.'
Shrugging his hands, he said, "I just like to properly utilize whatever is available to me."
Alicia nodded her head and didn't say anything. Just continued looking at him, waiting for him to finish his meal.
*Beep*
At this moment, Luis got a notification in his mana bracelet that made him smile.
Then he looked at Alicia and said, "You don't have to wait for me to finish eating. We can see it now."
Luis didn't wait for her to question anymore and called out.
"Lily, come out for me."
Under Alicia's confused eyes, a holographic projection screen was turned on inside the room. The next moment, a holographic protection of a blonde little girl wearing a white dress appeared inside the room.
[Greetings Master, My Lady.]
Looking at the hologram of the little girl in front of her, Alicia opened her mouth to ask.
"Who are you?"
Lily's projection bowed slightly as she introduced herself in her childish, immature voice.
[Lady Alicia, I'm Lily, an artificial intelligence created by Master.]
