Reading these letters brought a faint smile on to Leo's lips as he carefully arranged the letters and flowers
The last letter came in today so he still has one week left to figure out who the person is
Leo was thinking about who the person might be when ximen came in with a bowl of soup
"Leo, I have brought you some soup" Ximen's voice brought Leo out of his thoughts and he quickly took the bowl and drank it
Even while drinking he was thinking about the mysterious stranger and he suddenly had a thought in mind as he turned to ximen
"Ximen, the person sending me these letters had they come in today?"
Ximen who heard his question was sweat dropping and tried to avoid his gaze while slowly mumbling 'No'
"I see, I am tired so I will take some rest meanwhile you can go out and enjoy, you have been taking care of me for so long, you deserve some free time" Leo ushered
"Thank you, please take care of yourself and if you need anything please feel free to inform me" Ximen said as he walked out of the room
Once Leo confirmed that ximen was indeed gone he took out a paper and pen from his shelf and started scribbling words in it
"Dear mysterious stranger,
Thank you for your concerns and I am sorry to have troubled you, I strongly believe that you are not going to show yourself to me if not you would have written your name in those letters that you have sent therefore I could only think of this way of communication, I do not know when you come to my room but I am sure you will be able to find this letter once you enter so I am writing down what I wish to tell, your letters have indeed made me happy when I woke up and the flowers you brought were also beautiful, thank you for being considerate and I hope that I could meet you someday
Once again my sincere apologies for making you worry
Thanking
Leo Azkehle Xellos"
Leo wrote and kept the letter by his side table and went to sleep so that he can talk to the system in a much more peaceful manner
It was around mid night and one could see the door to the room slowly opening and a shadow of a person coming in, the room was dark therefore making anyone unable to see the person's face, the person slowly but quietly walked towards the bed side and looked at the sleeping figure gently caressing his hair, then he was about to place his letter on the side table when he noticed another letter on it, he slowly opened the letter and read it silently
The moonlight shone through the window and you could see a small smile on the face of the person holding the letter as he turned to look at the sleeping figure with his golden eyes, gently he leaned towards the sleeping figure and gave him a small peck on the forehead
He took out another piece of paper and started writing something down and left the room after placing the letter on the table
When Leo woke up in the morning he found another letter and could not believe that his plan actually worked, it was just yesterday that Leo received the notice that his love meter has increased to 8% after the stranger read the letter
Leo quickly took the letter and eagerly read the content
"Mysterious stranger huh? I like that name, and love do not apologize you did not cause me any trouble what so ever but I must say you are too polite, I never expected such a letter to be waiting for me but I was extremely happy when I read your letter, and what you said is true, I do not plan on showing myself to you just like that if possible try finding me in this short duration, I will be waiting for you
-Your Mysterious stranger "
Leo who read this letter was quite happy knowing the person was alright with replying to him and so he kept the letter back to its place as he decided to reply to the letter later at night
He slowly got up from the bed and he could feel his entire body hurting extremely bad for some time but he was so bored of staying in the room that he decided to take a walk
But seeing how bad his body condition was, he was contemplating the idea, but he suddenly thought of an idea and used his healing magic to reduce the pain
When he felt that he could walk around for at least a few minutes he didn't waste the time and quickly went over to the garden
When he reached the garden he sat near the fountain and closed his eyes enjoying the peaceful environment, this was the only place that calms him down
He was quietly enjoying his time when he felt something on his lap, so he slowly opened his heterochromatic eyes and looked at his lap and much to his surprise he saw a puppy
"Where did you come from?" He asked with a gentle smile on his face while stroking its fur
"Max! wait" Leo heard a cry from the left direction and looked over to find a girl running towards his direction, the pup who was comfortably sitting on Leo's lap suddenly hid itself behind Leo
The girl was quick on her feet and in no time caught up to where Leo was sitting and shouted
"MAX! How could you run off like that?" The girl screamed and the max the pup got up from behind Leo and went towards the girl while wagging its tail, after the pup was near her, she turned her attention to the boy and she stood frozen in place seeing him
Leo who was oblivious to the stare the girl was giving him spoke "Your pup is really beautiful"
The girl who was in a daze was brought out of it by his beautiful voice and she blushed a deep red and stuttered while answering
"Y-Yes h-he is" The girl continued "I-I am s-s-sorry if he disturbed y-you"
"No, he has not, he was quite" Leo said as he bent down and patted max's head who in return gave him a happy bark, Leo smiled as he got up and turned his attention to the girl
She was wearing a maid's dress so he understood that she was a worker and by how she addressed him he was even more sure that she was new here
"Who might you be young lady?" Leo politely asked
The girl who heard him calling her a young lady blushed even more and introduced herself
"M-My name i-is V-Viola, I work h-here as the mistresses personal maid"
Leo who heard her could only process two words properly 'Viola' and 'Personal maid'
'Shit! She is the female protagonist! How the hell did I forget her appearance?' Leo thought and was about to be rude to her when Bella gave him a warning
[Host there is someone watching you from the side]
'Who?'
[---------]
'The mystery stranger?'
[Yes]
Leo was stunned; the stranger follows him around now? He knew he could not show of his rude attitude acting in front of others if he wanted to destroy the female protagonist so he quickly brought out his acting skills and acted as if he was in pain for a moment and changed his expression into a smile and spoke
"It's a pleasure to meet you Viola, My name is Leo" Leo introduced while speaking to Bella
'How does the lover boy look? Did it work?'
[He looks worried and looks eager to come here]
'Perfect'
"It is nice to meet you too Leo" Viola continued oblivious to the painful expression he showed "I have to leave now, I hope to meet you later Leo"
"I hope to meet you too viola" Leo quickly said as he smiled
As soon as Viola left the garden he quickly brought up his acting and leaned towards a pillar to act as a support and started breathing heavily and used the help of his system to cough up some blood
'Is he still standing there?'
[No host, he has started walking towards you in a fast pace as soon as he saw you coughing up blood]
'Tell me when he is close'
[He will reach close to you in 5...4...3...2....1!]
