"I am done for today old man." I washed my hands and went to the kitchen to have dinner.
Old man smiled and looked at me and remarked, "Very well, the dinner is almost done as well."
I sat on the ground while looking here and there. While old man was finishing the preparation of meals.
In a minute, the meals were done and he served and sat in front of me.
We both prayed and then started having dinner.
I was hungry from hours and having it was heavenly like I haven't eaten from years and now, on eating, my mind, heart and soul are satisfied and grateful.
But old man was looking with suspiction which I didn't understood why but ignored it.
"Vanile..."
Old man called me and I looked at him with eyes of confusion.
But his eyes were looking serious and strict. Like he is really serious and the topic is also serious.
I gulped with sweating, guessing did he recognised my unusual face? Did my Exposure Magic deactivated and he is able to see my real self of previous life?
But suddenly old man smiled and asked, "Why are you sweating? Did you also recognised your own problem?"
I looked down to hide the face and replied, "Wh... What problem?"
For me, the problem was my two faces but for him, it was different.
"... Did you lost your all magic and you are now magic less?"
I was shocked by his question and looked at him with surprises and he was smiling. It was confusing but one thing was confirmed, he still couldn't recognise my hidden face which I actually had.
"Wh-What do you mean by that?"
Old man pointed at me and answered, "Until yesterday, I could see aura of magics from you, like Exposure Magic, but there's no more aura I can see around you. Did you lost your power by feeling of guilty or something?"
I was surprised by hearing this and looked at myself but suddenly I felt a shock and my eyes turned black and pupil white and now I saw myself and I was able to see many auras in different different colours, even there were some colours which never even existed as much I know.
I looked at the old man and he had a mask of worries and confusion. In seconds, my eyes turned normal and I realised that my Exposure Magic of identifying reality was activated.
I smiled that old man doesn't has fake faces and continued having the dinner and replied while chewing, "Um... That... That shouldn't be of your concern old man... I defeated you without any magic..."
The old manwas surprised by my response but he also smiled, "That's also true." And he also started having his dinner.
My hunger was completely fulfilled and now I was feeling sleepy. I lied on the ground to sleep.
"You have to go for your first mission, get ready." The old man stood next to me and I opened my eyes with a frustrating face and replied, "Can't we do that tomorrow morning?"
"No, you will move right now with the carriage, you are going back to Synin's mansion again."
I had no interest and my face was blank with expression... I don't want to work as a maid again...
But at the next scene, I was sitting on the driving seat, the afraid horse was in front of me sweating and scared from me.
Whereas, the rest carriage was behind me and I was holding the lead and still feeling sleepy.
"Stay safe, and come with completing your first mission."
My deadline was of a week so I was having enough time, but working there would be no fun so it was planned by myself that I will end it in a day only and return as soon as I can.
I ordered to the horse, "Oye! Send me safely to Synin's mansion, and started walking."
The horse was still afraid, but he had two choices, to die by me or work for me until I kill him. It was better to live a little bit longer life than ending just now, he thought and finally started moving ahead with disappointment and sorrow.
I looked back at the old man, and he was still smiling and I also smiled and waved and said, "Take care of yourself and your daughter!!! I will be back in a day or in two!!!"
Old man laughed and replied gently, "There's no need to rush. Take it easy, I will take care of myself and her."
But I denied to accept his advice, I was just mean to stay away from the mansion as far I can. This would be the last encounter with the mansion.
The horse continued moving ahead and I yawned with feeling sleepy. I was not allowed to sleep because of the old man's advice which he said to stay wake up to be alerted in the journey. It makes sense because I haven't even saw anything of world and what drops from nowhere, I don't know.
I looked in front and the road was looking empty.
I took out makeup and asked from Java, "Java, can you show me that how am I looking in the form of 8 year old maid Yung?"
Java should my live video of my face in perspective of 8 years old maid and I started using some makeup by looking at the screen.
Thirty minutes later, "Thank you, Java. Now you can remove the screen."
Horse and Java were looking surprised and were sweating as the reaction. I was looking completely harmed and injured! I made makeup to show them to show some lies and paste on their faces making it a reality for them.
Although... I was personally feeling strange by this because it was my first time using makeup in last eight years or more.
"How am I looking Java?"
<... Good, I guess...>
"Horse?"
Horse shaked with fear that I also asked from him and he looked back with a smile and sweating face.
The ride continued and I didn't slept.
