Starting Life In Another World

In the dining room

There are five people in there Roswaal, Emilia, Arthur, ram, and rem

Of course just Roswaal, Emilia and Arthur who sit and eating while ram and rem standing behind Roswaal.

"So do you mind to tell me why you're bringing someone else to home Emilia-sama?"

"He is Arthur Spencer, I meet with him today in the capital and a lot of things that happen and he ends up as my bodyguard?"

"Why you seem like not sure like that..."

Arthur can't help to comment from the side because he sees Emilia put her finger on her cheek as if she does not sure make the right choice of not for hiring him as a bodyguard

"Spencer? I thiiink I never heard the name of this household in the kingdom Lugunica "

"Well this is the first time I come to this kingdom and all I can say I don't even know how I can end up here"

Roswaal look to Arthur with just his yellow eyes and after a while, he stood and opened his arm wide

"Soooo it's like that then I will introduce myself, my name is Roswaal L Mathers welcome in my humble house, Arthur Spencer "

"Well I feel thankful for your hospitality and care but can I ask you a question?"

"of course you can, aaask me anything you want to know"

"Why I can't see and feel other people in this household? I didn't even see other maids in here except the twin sisters over there "

"That's because they're the only maid here you know"

"Eh? Seriously? With this huge mansion, just two people do cleaning? I know the blue hair.. ah, Rem right? Have a strong physical strength but I didn't feel Ram have the same physical strength. But look like you didn't intend to hire a new maid?"

Roswaal was silent to Arthur's question, crossing his arms at the table.

Roswaal's face displayed a smile, but the eyes with which he regarded Arthur subtly changed.

"You truly are a mystery, having come to the house of Mathers at the far reaches of the Kingdom of Lugunica, yet you do not know the circumstances Amazing that you made it past royal customs."

"Well, I am kind of an undocumented immigrant in a sense…"

Arthur's casual reply startled Emilia; she gave him a glare like she was scolding a young child.

"I can't believe it. If you say things like that so easily, bad people will make mincemeat out of you."

"Nobody uses mincemeat anymore."

"Don't joke about this. Hey, Arthur, is that really true? Is everyone where you come from like this, or is it really just you who don't know?"

Arthur, feeling bad at how Emilia was genuinely worried, reflected upon his own behavior.

"Err, more like my lack of time going out of my home and socializing with other people make me like this? And the part of I said I'm an undocumented immigrant is the truth you know, and I really would be grateful if you filled me in."

"Arthur do you know this country…the Kingdom of Lugunica's situation at the moment?"

"I just arrived today and Emilia is the first person who conversed with me so do you think I have time to know anything like that? And I'm also broke how can I get information if I'm penniless? I just heard from Emilia that this country is going to hold elections for deciding the future monarch and Emilia is one of the candidates "

"Oohoo soooo Emilia-sama is already told you her situation? And theen why you still choose to follow her to this place?"

Roswaal feels interested to the man in front of him because he can't feel Arthur is lying but he is not sure too because he also has a feeling this man not hundred percent honest and hiding something.

"As I said before I penniless so I offer myself to become her bodyguard or maybe to make it nobler her knight?"

"Oh, and what you want as payment?"

"I want he provided me with food and lodging and it's will be perfect if there is a salary on top of that but the two conditions before is a must"

"You seem like get nothing from this I think"

Emilia seems like can't accept the contract between them because she thinks if she will owe him and feel indebted if he demands so little

"You said it yourself, you rarely going out so I can eat and sleep to my heart content you know for someone who is penniless like me it feels like in the heaven"

"Buuut I think if you really strong you can become a mercenary and get a lot of money you know"

"I don't want to admit it but... I'm too embarrassed to ask people so... you know... without single money in me and... I too embarrassed... I end up in here"

The room became silent because the person who from the start he comes to this mansion and behaves like this is just natural he is here said he is to embarrass to ask people.

"And I don't want to use my power for something like a robbery so ... well Emilia know the rest"

"Well even it feel like an unbelievable story I will ask another thing... why you did not feel prejudice to Emilia-sama?"

Arthur blink his eyes and look at Roswaal as if he is an idiot

"I might sound rude but are you stupid? How come I felt prejudice to someone who helps me when I starv- helpless?"

"I think you change your statement in your last moments?"

"That's not the point here so forget it"

Arthur folds his arm and close his eyes and make a stance that he will not talk about it anymore.

Roswaal very curious about the reason how come Arthur decide to become Emilia's knight but when he looks to the said person and how she turns down her head he decided to stop it here and ask another question.

"And Emilia-sama are you certain he can serve as your knight?"

'I can't feel mana from him and except for the sword and knives set he have he look like ordinary people to me'

Not just because the reason for his identity Roswaal also feel curious why ordinary people like this have very much confidence in front of him?

"I also didn't know how strong he is but puck said I can rely on him if something happens and puck can't be by my side"

"Ooooh my if your spirit is already said it then this must be fine. Well it's late already so I will excuuuuse myself, oh and rem will escort you to your room"

Roswaal left the room with ram and Emilia also stood up and bid him goodbye, and after he is alone in his room Arthur throw himself to the bed and mutter under his breath.

"It's been a long time I didn't sleep in soft ting like this.... playing dumb is really exhausting...."

And he feels asleep
