Chapter 246 - 245 - What Are You Doing Here?!

When Noah asked this question with a serious face without appearing to be sad, Emma looked at Lucio in surprise.

"..." After that, she continued in silence, then Noah asked again.

"Did they all die?"

And after he asked again, Emma sighed and finally started to speak.

"From the information I received, some of your classmates died."

"What are their names?"

"I didn't get any names, but it seems that the ones who died are just nobles."

"It was understandable, the queen won't care about people other than nobles." Noah stood up and then made his way toward the kitchen. Lucio and Emma continued to stare at him to see what he would do.

But he calmly took some water as if he hadn't just received some extremely shocking news.

"I'm going to my room now."

"Aren't you going to have dinner?"

"I'm not hungry."

Noah walked toward his room and then closed the door. Lucio and Emma looked at each other and were extremely worried about Noah.

"Will he be okay?" Lucio moved even closer to Emma and hugged her.

"I think so, he is a mature and strong boy." Emma smiled and then kissed Lucio.

Lari, who was still in the room, looked at this with envy.

'I wish I was this close to Noah like this. If I go to console him, will I end up kissing him again?' Lari smiled in her mind but soon dismissed that idea.

'No, if I do something like that he will be angry with me, I need to control myself.' She walked towards her room and locked herself in just as Noah did.

Then it was just Lucio and Emma left in the room talking about what to do. They should support Noah so that he doesn't do anything crazy.josei

Even though Emma thinks he is mature enough to handle the death of a friend, she is still a mother. 

She still cares a lot.

When he woke up the next day, Noah again thought about his friends.

'I don't know who died, so I shouldn't ... I haven't had that much contact with all of them anyway.' Noah bit his lip and clenched his fists. Then he left the bathroom and walked left the bedroom.

Arriving in the living room, he found Lucio, Emma, Lisandra, Lari, and Ciaphia all talking.

As soon as he arrived in the living room, they all looked at him worriedly.

He looked at everyone confused about what was going on. They all seemed to be waiting for him to say something.

"What is it?" He put a forced smile on his face. Being stared at like that was putting him embarrassed a bit.

"How are you feeling?" Everyone looked at Emma when she asked the question and then looked at Noah again.

"How am I feeling? I think I'm fine." Noah groped his body.

"Not in that sense, but how are you feeling about your friends? You're not feeling sad, are you?" Emma asked a very clear question this time.

Then Noah wiped the smile off his face and looked at everyone.

"I am worried. I don't know who died, so I won't be sad until I find out the people who died were people who had contact with me."

"I understand."

"Could you send a letter to ask for the names of my colleagues who died?"

"I find it difficult for the queen to share that kind of information. It will all depend on the family of the children who died."

"Can you at least try?"

"Yes, of course." Emma smiled and then turned to look at Lucio. Then the two smiled at each other looking relieved.

"That's good, I thought you were going to go into a depressive state or something," Lisandra said as she approached. She then placed her hand on Noah's head and stroked it.

"That's not a nice thing to say, you know," Noah grumbled and then held Lisandra's hand.

He then walked toward the door.

"Now I need to talk to Rose about your friend, do you want to come with me, Ciaphia?"

"Are you sure? It's not a private conversation?"

"No problem, come on. And before I forget, good morning."

"Good morning."

After greeting each other, the two left the house while still smiling.

Emma, Lucio, and Lisandra looked on happily at that adorable scene, while Lari was almost pulling out her hair.

Noah left the house with Ciaphia and went to the vegetable garden, but there he only found Rieli. As soon as he arrived, Rieli approached him while holding a watering can be filled with water.

"You're working hard, aren't you?" Noah said as he looked at the gloves that Rieli was wearing. They were gardeners' gloves that were all dirty with dirt.

"Not much, Rose is being more helpful than I have been the last few days." She smiled bitterly and then immediately put the watering can on the floor.

"So, why are you here? Did something happen at your house?"

"I received some unpleasant news, that's all. And about me being here, I wanted to talk to Rose, is she in?" Noah asked, but then immediately remembered that Rieli was also Ria's friend.

"No, I needed to talk to you too. It's about Ria." 

As soon as Rieli heard Ria's name, she raised both her eyebrows and then immediately put a serious expression on her face.

"What happened to her?"

"I will tell when we are together with Rose. Where is she now?"

"She is at her house. You said you received some unpleasant news, didn't you? Did Ria happen to pass away?" Rieli swallowed her saliva as she asked that, but Noah just shook his head denying it.

"Don't worry, she's fine." He smiled at Rieli to reassure her.

Realizing that Noah was not lying, she breathed a relieved breath.

Right after that, Rieli said goodbye to her friends who were still working and went to Sara and Rose's house together with Noah.

As soon as they got there, Sara opened the door and welcomed them with a smile on her face. She was especially happy to see Noah. Ever since he helped her get Rose out of the house, she always acts this way.

"So, what brings you here? It's not normal for you to be together with Rieli." Sara asked as she poured some tea for the two of them.

"Do you remember Ria?"

"Yes, she is Rose's friend. Don't tell me something happened to her?" Sara put a grim expression on her face, but Noah hurried up and calmed her.

"Don't worry, nothing happened to her, she's fine." Hearing Noah's statement, Sara took a relieved breath and then sat down on her couch. 

"Good. If something had happened to her... I'm not sure what Rose would do." Sara put both her hands on her head and began to imagine countless possibilities.

"I'm sure she would feel guilty for the rest of her life..." Rieli said and then took a sip of tea. She made a smiling expression looking like she was loving the taste of the tea.

Because of this, Noah also a sip.

"That tea is wonderful!" He exclaimed in surprise and then took another sip.

"It's made with mint and lemon. It's good, isn't it?" Sara smiled happily as she saw Noah taking her tea smiling.

Rieli looked at that scene a little startled.

'Don't tell me Sara has fallen in love with Noah?' She thought that and then immediately began to feel guilty for thinking something so strange.

'No, that would never happen, what am I thinking?' She closed her eyes and shook her head.

And while all this was going on, Rose who had just finished taking her shower arrived in the living room with a towel around her body. She was still wet, so in a way she had a sexy appearance.

"Mom, You can use the bathroom now." Rose arrived in the living room without looking at the couch. She seemed distracted, so she didn't even notice Noah's presence. 

As soon as she arrived in the living room, Noah looked at her and was awestruck when he saw her appearance.

And Rose, not noticing his presence, went to the kitchen and calmly took a glass of water and started to drink it. After she finished drinking, she started going through the cupboards while looking for something.

While all this was going on, Rieli held back her laughter and Noah looked at her a little embarrassed. She was a beautiful woman, he couldn't help but keep looking at her.

And noticing Noah's gaze on her daughter, Sara decided to get her attention.

"Rose..." Her mother said a little embarrassed.

"What is it?" And when she heard her mother calling her, she turned to look at her as she bit into a piece of bread that she had picked up from the cupboard.

And as soon as she looked at her mother, besides seeing her mother looking at her, she could see Noah staring at her in silence.

After a few seconds of trying to reason out what was going on, she finally "woke up" and ran away. She almost fell to the floor as she ran out of the living room screaming:

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
