Aiming to be the perfect butler for my lady

Chapter 90- You will..for her?

The place where Kyle brought Alatia was not the entrance of the labyrinth, which he originally planned; rather, he brought her back to the dormitory, knowing very well that his mistress had something to say.

And as he thought,

"I won't abandon you, huh?" Hearing her fake sarcasm made Kyle sigh. He knew his interaction with Charlotte wouldn't be appreciated. Maybe it was because he formed a brotherly bond with Charlotte back then that he ended up comforting the girl.

Kyle gently arranged her messy hair strands that were obstructing his view as he soothingly spoke, "You know me better than anyone. I was just trying to assure her." Although Kyle was short on time, he gave himself a little rest to coax this big baby.

Alatia looked away, her hand crossing over her chest. Her posture suggested that unless he didn't compensate, she wouldn't be going to listen to him.

Finally, he yielded, "Let's take a bath together today."

Alatia's eyes sparkled as she confirmed, "Together and naked right?"

Kyle wanted to say something like, 'It doesn't suit a maiden to ask something so straightforwardly,' but since he was short on time, he just nodded, and after receiving a happy smile from his mistress, he warped away with Alatia in tow.

"Huh?! You? Who are you?" The response was quick from the instructor responsible for the class of first year

Seeing Alatia in the arms of a masked man, the instructor instantly lit up his batons, ready to lunge at the stranger

But Alatia instantly stood between the two and said, "He is an ally, instructor."

The older one looked puzzled but before he could ask any further, the masked man disappeared.

...

[Half a minute ago]

Upon not finding the masked man appearing again, even though it had been three minutes already, Sasha began to feel her stomach churning and panic building within her.

She turned towards Logan and found his eyes currently looking at Aron. The words that Sasha wanted to say died in her mouth as she comforted her friend wordlessly by rubbing and holding his hand tenderly.

Charlotte never showed any panic. Since he promised, she knew he wouldn't abandon her. And soon, her expectation was proven justified.

"Ah!" Sasha exclaimed, finding the light of her hope appearing before them once again.

"Come with me and carry him with you." Logan nodded to that command before he picked Aron over his shoulders, and went towards the masked one.

The stranger wrapped his hand around Logan's waist, making Charlotte frown before they disappeared.

It took a whole minute for the masked man to return and this time, Sasha hopped toward him before Charlotte could have even moved a finger.

Clinging to the man, she uttered, "Please take me away." Helplessness and fear nearly made her cry again.

The masked man nodded before he glanced at Charlotte and after sharing a nod, he once again departed.

Charlotte heaved a sigh and couldn't control her smile anymore. Finally, she would get to touch him again....to feel him again. This opportunity shouldn't get wasted, and definitely not interrupted-

*Gu* *Gu* *Gu*

Hearing the thumps of a wild beast nearing her, Charlotte frowned. There were at least fifty seconds for him to return, and that was enough for her to deal with the monkey.

The twelve-foot-tall ape had red eyes and red protruding hair, standing like a blaze. Its eyes extruded murderous extent as it raised its forelimbs before slamming it hard on the ground.

However, Charlotte didn't even flinch.

Seeing the lack of response from the human, the beast growled in anger before bringing both hands to extremely far extents—creating waves of visible wind slashes between the gap.

Charlotte narrowed her eyes, shifted to her feet, and readied herself.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The A-rank Cloud Ape finally slapped its hands and a loud reverberation echoed throughout the labyrinth, creating dense ripples that threatened to slash the life out of everything that stood in their path.

However, the air slashes did not have visible damage to Charlotte as she remained standing completely unaffected.

Unhooking her arms, she finally leaped into action—jumping in the direction of the ape with her fist clenched, and before her foe could realize how its spell marvelously failed, Charlotte slammed her fist against its crown—resulting in an eruption of blood.

She was dyed in blood as well, and she landed on the ape's knees, feeling grossed out and now regretting attacking the monkey. How would she face him while looking like this?!

"Wait! I have a change of clothes." Instantly turning around she tried to find her bag...only to lock her gaze with the familiar figure, standing there while holding her bag.

"Attack mirroring. Nullification. Silent steps. Immense strength and agility. With these skills, I wonder if someone could struggle against a mere B-rank Oni."

His words stabbed her heart and sent a chill down her spine. Her eyes widened, the only feature on her face which was visible currently. She stood there, completely bathed in blood and currently feeling a great crisis arising within.

She stepped forward, her mind still not completely stable as she slowly uttered, "I-I was weakened at that time....that O-Oni suddenly attacked me..."

Charlotte held a reason but there was no confidence in her voice.

He crossed his hands behind his back before casually asking, "Who is your target? Tell me so I can decide whether you are coming with me or...your dear body." Those words came out with conviction. Kyle suspected Charlotte's animosity was directed toward Alatia...and that was not acceptable to him. Screw the plot.

Charlotte seemed to have received severe damage hearing his words, as with staggering steps she backed away and uttered in disbelief,

"F-for her...y-you w-will k-k-kill me....?"

Kyle didn't respond. He held his stance and allowed Charlotte to register what could happen if she held ill intentions toward Alatia.

Suddenly, the blood-bathed girl halted, her head leaning down.

Kyle narrowed his eyes from behind the mask, ready to act if she suddenly decided to attack....however, much to his shock, she suddenly raised her hand and demonstrated a similar attack as the Ape before.

Creating a barrage of air strikes around her, she camouflaged herself, preventing Kyle from keeping up with her position. He was agile with his spells, but he had a feeling that she wasn't going to attack him.

And once the tides of air halted, Charlotte was no longer there.

She....disappeared.

Kyle leaned his head down. Didn't he just provoke a canon character and push her into danger? This floor was filled with dangers that a sixteen-year-old couldn't face, even though she was insanely strong.

Clenching his fist, he decided to coax Alatia a little more than he was supposed to and marched into the depths of the labyrinth.

'Seriously, how quickly my opinion shifts these days...'
