The Most Satisfied Reincarnate

Chapter 21 - Compensation



-In Alice's room-

The next day, Alice was sleeping on the bed; she slowly opened her eyes.

"Good morning, young Miss."

"Morn-HUH?" She sees a maid opening the curtains. The sunlight came in, shining in her eyes, and made her wake up. Alice then got up from her bed to look around.

"Why am I here? As I remember, I fell asleep yesterday in the dining room. "

The other maid who was sweeping answered with a smile, "It seemed that yesterday, young master Desmond brought you here. We did not dare to wake you up, young miss."

"Oh…" Alice nodded before remembering something. "Where is the gift?!"

"Sorry, young miss, we did not see any gifts in the room. Maybe young…"

Before the maid had finished speaking, Alice interrupted her, "Help me search now!"

Alice looked for the gift on her bed in a panic, then she rushed to check the cupboard and still couldn't find it. The maids also helped to look below the bed, under the pillow, at the ceiling.

After a few minutes of searching, Alice also still couldn't find the gift. Her legs became limp, and she dropped her feet to the floor; her eyes began to tear, her face flushed, and she let out a crying sound.

The maids nearby panicked. They tried to calm her but to no avail.

"Young miss, please don't cry. We can buy gifts for the young master later, "one of the maids said while stroking Alice's hair, who was sitting on the floor.

"But-today-it's Desmond's birthday," Alice replied, and her crying voice became louder, causing a few maids to come to her room.

Two days earlier, when Alice went out, she had painstakingly selected the best present for her brother, and after looking for more than one hour, she finally chose the best gift. She arrived at the master and ordered the blacksmith to make a necklace. The blacksmith said it took two days to complete.

With that, two days had passed and yesterday was the day she took the gift. When she saw the necklace, she was satisfied with a smile and immediately rushed home, letting her servant take care of the payment.

-In Desmond's room-

After last night, Desmond meditated and watched the video he had recorded; his body was getting tired.

He spread himself out on the bed and spoke, "I did not realize it's already morning. The meditation is very refreshing; it makes me forget the time."

He felt a bit tired and started to close his eyes to rest before suddenly hearing the sound of crying from the next room.

"Alice ?!" Recognizing her voice recognized, Desmond immediately rushed to that room.

Desmond arrived at Alice's door; a few maids were peeking into Alice's room, which made his heart pound. He immediately entered Alice's room while shouting getaway to the maids.

When Desmond entered Alice's room, he looked at Alice's bed and did not find a single hair; he then saw the maid standing in the corner of the room looking down. There, Desmond saw Alice sitting on the floor with a red face.

"Alice ?! Are you okay ?" Desmond came over to Alice and held her cheek with both hands.

"Desmond?" Alice raised her head only to see Desmond right in front of her. Alice accidentally looked at Desmond's neck and found that he was already wearing the gift she had long prepared.

"Stupid, Stupid…" Alice muttered while hitting Desmond's chest, then planted her face into Desmond's chest.

"Aw, Aw ..." Desmond pretended to be in pain; he was also confused and glanced at the maid, who smiled wryly.

"This morning, young Miss woke up and looked for a gift she was going to give you; after a few minutes of searching and not finding it, young Miss became like this."

"Ah," Desmond realized his mistake; he then whispered something in Alice's ear, "How about I accompany you shopping today?!"

On hearing Desmond's offer, Alice immediately nodded and stood up. "You Promise, okay! I'll get ready now." Alice stood up while pointing a finger towards Desmond.

Desmond also stood up with his right hand crossed and touched his chest while trying to act out the style of a knight who was receiving orders. "Yes, Sister!"

Alice held back her laughter before letting go and bursting out in laughter. "Puff, Hahaha."

Desmond only smiled before the maid, who was in Alice's room, expelled him from the room.

He didn't know where this feeling had come from. For three years, slowly soaked by Alice's affection, his heart had begun to accept the existence of a family. Even though he still considered himself an outsider, these times made slight changes in his heart.

He was not a hero who immediately accepted the changes of this world and protected a stranger who they considered family or a villain who thinks everyone in this world is an enemy and always acts cold to them.

Before, Desmond only acted friendly with them, joking, playing with them, and smiling, but now, he was still acting coldly toward them but not as cold as before.

-In the library-

Desmond was reading a book and drinking a cup of tea. Suddenly, the sound of the door squeaked, and a maid entered.

"Young master, young miss has finished taking a shower."

"Oh, okay." Desmond then stood up and finished his tea before exiting the room.

-2 years ago-

Because there was only one bathroom, the Desmond family had to keep taking turns to shower; this also applied to the maids. The difference is that the upper bathroom belonged to the Desmond family, and no maids were allowed to bathe there. As for the maids, they had a small bathroom downstairs.

Desmond often saw a few maids go out to take a bath in the public bathhouse.

When Desmond took a bath for the first time, he was surprised that the bathroom in this world was almost the same as the bathroom from his old world.

First, Desmond tried the bathtub, which looked like it was made of ceramic. He was surprised that the bathtub also had a water gauge temperature. Desmond saw a crystal murmur hovering over him. When he asked his parents about this, his parents said that it was an energy-saving crystal.

Like a battery in the real world, its function is almost the same; just how it charges uses its unique energy.

This made idea pop up in Desmond's head; he then tried several experiments and finally managed to create a closet that could clean automatically.. Of course, he got this idea from his old world.
