Chapter 4

4 – The Maiden’s Oath

It’s morning. The savory smell of bread stung her nostrils.

“Hmm….”

Sierra Grimkeeper woke up with a heavy moan. She felt the soft bed on her back.

It’s not a hard road or a haystack. Sierra stretched her coolly, soaking in her soft sensation.

“Sierra. It’s morning.”

I heard John’s voice behind the door. Sierra got up hastily and touched her hair. Her ruffled hair was caught in her hand. Getting up in the morning and tying her hair is a habit she has never had.

“That, I’ll be leaving soon!”

This is John’s house. Originally used as a warehouse, it was moderately renovated and became a living space. For Sierra, it was the most comfortable and comfortable hotel in the world.

Sierra came here a few days ago. John saved her from being mistakenly caught by a thug and sold to a brothel.

Not only that. Not only did John treat him to a delicious meal, he even gave him a room like this. He must have felt good about giving up the barn.

‘Why is he being so nice to me?’

Of course I heard that question. Certainly, John must have his own goals.

Life is always a give and take. The world is not as kind as people think. It is human nature to give something when you receive something.

“Sierra. Are you still there?”

“Oh no! Done! I’ll go.”

Sierra left her room with her gungazing.

The smell of freshly baked bread filled the hallway.

John’s baking skills were excellent, befitting a baker’s son. It is said that his skill has already surpassed that of his father, the manager of ‘The Dwarf Oven’.

“Today is pizza bread.”

“hehehe. He is also my son Developing such an ingenious bread.”

John, his father, and mother were in the kitchen first.

To make the landlord wait for guests?

Sierra lowered her head, blushing.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“No. Looks like we’ve been too diligent. Didn’t you get enough sleep?”

From noble mtl dot com

John’s mother, Louen Baker, spoke kindly. Next to him, John’s father, Joseph Baker, smiled broadly and continued.

“Heh heh. Come on, take a seat. My son looks like me and brought me a true daughter-in-law.”

Sierra just bowed her head with a blush on her cheeks at the kiss of Joseph Baker. John scratched his head and said, ‘It’s not like that.’

Breakfast was enjoyable.

Originally, for Sierra, if she ate one meal a day, she ate well. She couldn’t imagine eating freshly baked, hot bread for breakfast.

“Father. Mother. I’ll go out with Sierra.”

“You son of a b*tch! A date is good, but the main topic is right around the corner. Help this father. For this entrance ceremony, I plan to make a lot of the pizza bread you developed.”

“You wrote the recipe down! Sierra, let’s go!”

John grabbed his arm and left his shop. This situation was like running away from love with John. For some reason, a laugh came out.

The two came to an old, half-burnt warehouse. Located in a back alley, this warehouse is where Yohan usually uses it as a training ground.

“Sierra. How are your skills? Is it useful?”

John arrived at the training ground and asked. At John’s question, Sierra nodded her head.

Skillbook.

It was a gift John gave himself a few days ago.

-Learn this. It’s a pretty useful skill.

Skill books are very expensive. She has a price that a street native like herself can’t even dream of.

The reason Sierra saved money from people’s pockets was to buy her skill book.

Because the skill book is the only way out of life in the gutter.

There were a lot of people on this street who were collecting money for it.

By the way, Yohan gave such a skill book to himself casually. It wasn’t even a low-level skill.

—

Cooldown: 3 hours

Two skills were B grade and one was C grade. The skillbook of hers that she pooled her money to buy was grade D. Compared to the skills she thought she had, she had very good skills.

“How much did you raise your skill level?”

“Shuriken Burst and Decoy Dodge are level 2, Speed Step is level 3.”

“That much in a few days. After all, Sierra is a genius.”

Genius.

She thought it was a word she would never hear in her entire life. John’s praise made Sierra feel the happiness that warmed her heart.

“Rice, it’s nothing special. It’s because of the character.”

「Empress of Twilight」

It was a characteristic that Sierra had. The attribute rank is A-class.

[Increases the growth of dagger, shuriken, and shuriken-type skills by 100%, and reduces the cost of using skills by 10%. Also, Dark attribute attack power increases by 5%, and Dark attribute resistance increases by 10%.]

Thanks to this trait, Sierra was able to raise her skill level in a short amount of time.

“Her academy entrance exam is in two days. With Sierra now, she should be able to pass without a problem.”

“John. By the way, can I really enter the academy?”

“I told you not to worry about money.”

“That, that’s not it, it seems like it’s causing too much trouble to Yohan….”

She felt that even if she now had the grace she received from John, she would have to repay her with her whole life. By the way, she entered the academy.

Admission to the academy is the first step towards a solid road in life. This is because the fact that she graduated from the academy itself is a huge specification.

After graduating from the academy, you can choose a job where you want. There are countless places that want academy graduates, such as knights, magic towers, merchant guilds, and mercenary guilds. Although graduating is difficult.

“I’m good enough for now….”

At Sierra’s words, her John jerked her face at her. Sierra reflexively leaned back.

Ruby-glistening red eyes, tall blonde hair that looks like it was dyed with melted gold, skin as white as milk, and features as clear as a statue.

Even to himself who is indifferent to his appearance, Yohan is very handsome.

I feel sorry for John’s father, Joseph Baker, but I really want to know that he is Joseph’s son.

Because of his handsomeness, from Sierra’s point of view, this close distance he sometimes shows was a bit embarrassing.

John snapped his fingers on Sierra’s forehead.

Perfect!

“Ouch!”

Sierra cupped her forehead with her hand. Yohan smiled at Sierra.

“I told you. Sierra. You are a genius too good to stop here. Could it be that you think my eyes are wrong?”

“Oh, no. John is right.”

“Right. I’m always right So, I will go to the academy with you, Sierra.”

“Ugh….”

At John’s words, Sierra swallowed her tears. It’s not because of the stinging pain she feels on her forehead.

Her life was a series of negatives. All she faces is she says no, she can’t, she says. The barrier of fate was so tall and thick that it was difficult for Sierra to even look up at it.

By the way, this man.

This man who suddenly appeared in his life affirms himself.

Is it the confidence in one’s eyes, or the capricious composure of those who are just there?

He sends unconditional confidence about himself that even he doesn’t believe in. The positive energy was so warm that it felt like my heart would melt like ice on a summer day.

Sierra thought.

It’s not just delicious bread and skill books that this man gave me.

He gave himself a new life called hope.

‘John…. As much as you trusted me, I’ll trust you too.’

Life is a give and take.

When you receive something, giving something is the right thing to do.

What John gave is a bright new life. If so, he himself must also pay John the corresponding amount.

‘My life is yours, John. If it’s for you…. I can do everything.’

Sierra made that promise as she held the emblem she received from John in her hand.

Even if everyone in the world regards John as an enemy, I will stand by John’s side until the end.

If John walks the path of thorns, he himself will also walk the path of thorns.

If John goes to hell, he himself will go to hell too.
