Chapter 34: Training Day
Siv was a bit nervous. Today was her first day working as the secretary of the Crimson Tide Domain lord.
She didn't have much goodwill toward Vaerik, and even harbored some vigilance.
In her eyes, this lord was just an imperial noble wearing a gentle facade, essentially no different from those ugly nobles of the Iron Blood Empire.
She arrived at the lord's room on time, and what met her eyes was a figure sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Vaerik was practicing the cultivation of battle energy by circulating the breathing technique.
This was her second time seeing this young lord, but compared to their first meeting in the infirmary, she looked more carefully this time.
His features were distinct, his figure tall, and between his brows was a calm temperament.
He wasn't like those nobles in fine clothes and bloated figures, but rather more like a scholar, even showing a cool and composed focus while cultivating.
Such temperament indeed made it difficult for Siv to equate him with the cunning imperial nobles in her impression.
But she quickly gathered her thoughts. This guy was probably just putting on a show; if he were truly this diligent, his strength shouldn't be so low.
When the cultivation ended, Vaerik opened his eyes and immediately saw her.
