Chapter 175: CH.174 Telling Ria about my Unique Skill

During dinner, I introduced Ria to the rest of the people living in the manor. Well, more like the rest of the people that eat at the same table as I do. I’m sure there are plenty of maids and other servants also living here.

For her part, Ria wasn’t going to join the dinner table, until Thomas ordered her to. He said it would be his taste to confirm if she truly was cured, but I feel like that might have been a lie. After he saw that Ria could eat just fine, he said that she would from now on join the servants for their meals instead of eating with us. Ria herself seemed more than fine with that, so I didn’t comment on it and just let it be.

Well, at least they let her stay, so everything is good now.

“Ria. Are you feeling fine?” I asked her after we returned to my room. I guess our room now.

“Yes. I just … didn’t expect that I would be ordered to join the dinner table.”

“Honestly, neither did I. At least they seemed to accept you, so we should be fine for now.”

“Let’s hope so. But Ria, I hope you will understand this. You are now more important than them to me. You are connected to me with the slave contract and that means you are important. So if they do anything to you, it is the same as them doing it to me. You have to tell me if they do anything you don’t like to you.” 

“... yes, Master.” Ria said, bowing a little. 

“You don’t need to call me Master. You can just call me Brian.”

“Brian. Yes. I will.”

“Good. Now, I’m going to take a bath first and you can take one after me. But before that, I want to see your status. I need to see it for something I’ll do after the bath.”

“My status? Sure. Status open.” Ria said to open her status.
