Chapter 67: SysDi 67: The Valrepite Manor 6
Still a little hesitant to get more than he is used to, Evan finally relents after a bit more urging from Spire. It may have been treated as a simple dinner by Sir Theobald, but it most certainly the first time that Evan felt not only full, but almost stuffed.
Sir Theobald was the first person to leave. Evan is used to everyone leaving the table at the same time, but he knew that nobles do things differently. So he didn’t really question nor wonder about it in his mind.
Even if that was the case, he still waited for Spire to finish her dinner. He saw her ask for something sweet.
It ended up with him also indulging a cold, soft and melted treat, served in a bowl with a smaller spoon than the one he saw for the soup.
Spire called it ice cream, and it tasted very sweet and cold. It reminded Evan of a fruit.
"That’s because it is an ice cream made from the mango fruit." Spire had explained then.
Evan didn’t take a second serving, but he watched Spire ask for more. He got the appeal for the ice cream, but he already felt too full that he didn’t want to force himself to eat more.
Besides, he is planning to go to the stone hill cave tonight. He didn’t want to feel sleepy by then.
After dinner, Evan finds himself back in his room. The servant bowed his head at him once they arrived.
Gesturing at the wall by the door, the servant points at the button below the light switch. "That button on the wall can be pressed to summon any servants for any request you have until midnight. It could be me or anyone else, but it would not work passed the time because everyone will be asleep."
