Chapter 394.3: Chocolate Bar
I, Alisha Code’s, day is full of brilliance. To me, the room, perfectly managed by the city system, is a cradle, a castle, and the world itself. There are no worries, fears, or fences. For me, these negative emotions only existed in the materials presented to me by the city system during my study time.
For as long as I can remember, I have been in this small, spacious room. This room and the few guests who occasionally come in are everything to me, and I am content with it.
I was always interested in outside the door, but I never wanted to go outside. This room has everything. If you want to see nature, you can command the city system and it will provide you with everything you need. The schedule provided by the city system was never something I was forced to follow. I follow it because it is in my best interest to do so.
My only job is to appoint the extremely rare people who are brought in as my attendants. Rather, the only authority I have is the authority to control this room and the authority to appoint subordinates. From what I have learned from the city system, I know I have other authorities as well, but all of them are frozen. I can refuse the appointment, but it will be pointless and meaningless. If I do not appoint them, then someone with more authority than me――The King who has decided to place me in this room would appoint them instead.
I cannot let the great King of Code do something so trivial.
I cannot hear any outside noise, but the system tells me what to do. The appointment is a very easy task. Moreover, there are few opportunities to do this job. The head butler and chamberlain are occasionally changed, but the Royal Guards are the mechanized soldiers. Recently, the mechanized soldiers have been replaced by human guards, but that is not a very meaningful change to me who is in the room.
Maybe because it is unusual, people start observing me from outside the door more often, but I do not mind. The only thing in the room that I cannot control is the door, so the time when the window in the door is transparent is precious.
The situation surrounding me began to change about a month later when the window in the door, which had rarely been transparent until then, began to become transparent more often.
About five of the Royal Guards who tried to break down the door disappeared. Then the head chamberlain brought in a young man to become a new Royal Guard.
