Reborn As Noble

Chapter 165 Comfort in Each Other ( 165 )

After finishing their meal, the serene atmosphere of the secluded spot behind the school was amplified by the soft rustling of leaves in the breeze. Buddy and Pikko lay nearby, their large frames nestled in the grass, content after their feast.

Javier stretched his arms lazily before packing up the portable magic grill with a wave of his hand, stowing it back into his magic storage. With a satisfied sigh, he plopped down beside Liana but then suddenly had a different idea.

Without a word, he laid his head on her lap, grinning mischievously.

Liana blinked in mild surprise, though her smile quickly returned. ”Young Master,” she said softly, brushing a hand through his hair, ”you always get your way, donʼt you?”

”Of course,” Javier replied with a smirk, closing his eyes. ”Itʼs one of my best talents.”

Her gentle fingers continued to comb through his hair, the motion both soothing and familiar. Moments like these were far from rare—Javierʼs antics had become second nature to her by now.

”Now, now, Young Master,” Liana said, her voice carrying a tender lilt. ”Just take a nap. I wake you when the bell rings.”

”Okay, Liana,” Javier murmured, his smirk softening into a genuine smile.

As he began to drift off, Liana gazed down at him, her eyes filled with warmth. Her hand slowed, resting gently against his cheek.

Leaning down, she placed a soft kiss on his lips—an unspoken expression of her affection. Javierʼs eyes fluttered open briefly, his lips curling into a sleepy, contented smile.

”I love you, Liana,” he whispered, sincerity lacing his voice.

”And I love you too, Young Master,” she replied, her cheeks faintly flushed. ”Now sleep.”

Javier chuckled softly before closing his eyes again. Liana watched over him as he slept, her heart filled with a quiet happiness that only he could bring.

As the midday sun filtered through the leaves above, the world seemed to slow, leaving only the peaceful moment shared between the two of them.

After Javier drifted into a peaceful sleep, Liana sat quietly, a gentle smile gracing her lips. Despite her young masterʼs antics every day, she didnʼt mind them at all.

In fact, she found them endearing.

She knew he sometimes acted childish just to attract her attention, yet he always made sure she felt valued and secure by his side. His determination to keep her close filled her heart with a mix of fondness and warmth.

Lianaʼs delicate fingers ran through his hair, caressing it gently as she began to hum a soft, soothing melody. Her calm and serene voice wrapped around the quiet clearing, lulling Javier deeper into his nap.

Watching him, she noted how relaxed and unguarded he looked in his sleep, and a quiet thought crossed her mind—she didnʼt want this moment to ever end. This small, peaceful world they shared felt perfect.

The warmth of the midday sun, the rustling of leaves, and Javierʼs steady breathing created an atmosphere so tranquil that Liana herself began to feel drowsy. Her hand, still resting lightly on his hair, slowed as her eyelids grew heavy.

Before she knew it, she too began to drift off. Her body relaxed, leaning slightly against the tree behind her as her mind succumbed to the comforting lull of sleep.

Even in his slumber, Javier instinctively hugged her waist, pulling her closer as if to ensure she stayed by his side. Together, they rested under the shade of the trees, their quiet bond unspoken yet unbreakable.

Liana found herself in a strange place. She stood at an altar, wearing a beautiful white dress—a wedding gown. The lace designs sparkled softly in the light, and her veil draped over her silver hair, making her look enchanting.

But confusion filled her mind. Why am I here? Why am I wearing this dress?

In front of her was a tall man. He looked strong and confident, but she couldnʼt see his face clearly. His voice was deep and charming, making her shiver.

The sound of a ceremony filled the air around her.

”Do you take this elf lady to be your bride?” the officiant asked the man.

”Yes, I do,” he replied with a steady voice.

Lianaʼs heart began to race. Her hands shook as she held the bouquet, which she hadnʼt even noticed before. What is happening? Who is this man? And… where is the Young Master?

Her mind was racing, but before she could react, the officiant turned to her.

”And do you, Liana Sylverise, take this man as your husband?”

Before she could think, her mouth answered for her. ”Yes, I do.”

Shock filled her body. Why did I say that? I didnʼt mean to—Young Master, where are you?

As panic rose inside her, the officiant continued.

”By the power vested in me, I hereby declare you as—”

Before he could finish, everything around her blurred and disappeared.

Liana woke up suddenly, her chest rising and falling quickly as she gasped for air. Her hand went to her chest, clutching her maid uniform as she tried to calm her racing heart.

Her eyes moved around, helping her recognize the familiar sights of the school courtyard. The warm weight of Javierʼs head on her lap reminded her that this was reality. He was still asleep, his arms wrapped loosely around her waist.

She took a deep breath, brushing her fingers through his hair as she softly murmured, ”It was just a dream... just a dream.”

But her heart wouldnʼt calm down. The strange feelings from the wedding ceremony still lingered in her mind.

Liana looked up at the sky and gasped in shock. The bright midday sun was now dipping below the horizon, turning the sky into beautiful shades of orange and purple.

”Ahhh! Itʼs already evening! Young Master, wake up!” she shouted.

Javier stirred, his eyes blinking open as he murmured sleepily, ”Hmm? Whatʼs wrong, Liana?”

She shook his shoulder gently, her panic clear. ”You missed the entire afternoon class! How could you sleep so soundly, Young Master? I—” She paused, realizing she had also fallen asleep.

Javier sat up slowly, stretching his arms with a lazy smile. ”So what? Those classes are boring anyway. Who needs lectures about chanting when Iʼve already mastered chantless spells?”

”Thatʼs not the point!” Liana scolded, her cheeks puffing out in frustration. ”You still have to attend! As your personal maid, I was supposed to make sure you didnʼt miss them!”

Javier chuckled and poked her flushed cheek. ”Relax, Liana. No one will notice I was gone. Besides…” He leaned back on his hands, smirking. ”You enjoyed our little escape too, didnʼt you?”

Liana sighed, her stern expression softening as she looked at him. ”… Come on, we should head home now.”

Javier called for Buddy and Pikko, who quickly trotted over, their eyes shining in the fading light.

”Good job holding down the fort, you two,” Javier said, patting both birds on their heads. Buddy squawked proudly while Pikko preened her feathers.

They made their way out of the school grounds, their Pekko mounts following closely behind. The streets of the capital were full of people finishing their daily tasks.

Soon, their rented house—a simple but cozy place in a quiet neighborhood—came into view.As they stepped inside, Liana quickly turned on the lamp. Its soft, warm light filled the simple but elegant room. Javier flopped onto the sofa, stretching out with a happy sigh.

”Young Master,” Liana said, her voice a mix of annoyance and amusement, ”you really need to take your studies more seriously.”

”Sure, sure,” he replied with a wave of his hand, a smirk on his face.

Liana went to the kitchen, rolling up her sleeves as she started to prepare their evening meal. She picked fresh ingredients from their enchanted cold box, a magical fridge that kept food fresh. The smell of seasoned meat filled the air as she grilled it perfectly, along with freshly baked bread and a hearty meat soup simmering on the stove.

”Young Master! Go take a shower while I finish up here!” she called, glancing toward the living room.

”Okay!” Javier replied reluctantly as he got up and headed for the bath.

Liana sighed softly, a warm smile on her face. Even with all his antics, she wouldnʼt trade these moments for anything. She set the table neatly, making sure everything was perfect for when he returned.

Javier came out of the bathroom, his hair damp and messy. ”Your turn, Liana!” he said, sitting down in a chair and sniffing the air happily.

”Okay, Young Master,” Liana replied, wiping her hands on a towel. ”You can eat first while I shower.”

”Nope,” Javier said stubbornly, crossing his arms. ”Iʼll wait for you.”

”You donʼt have to wait,” Liana insisted, shaking her head as she grabbed her clothes and headed toward the bath.

”I donʼt care,” he said with a grin. ”Iʼll wait.”

”Haaa… If you say so,” Liana muttered, unable to hide her smile. Her heart felt lighter knowing that, even though he loved to tease her, Javierʼs care and sincerity always showed.

She hurried to freshen up, knowing he wouldnʼt touch his meal until she was there to join him.
