Shekki feels stupid and scartches her cheek. She never saw such a perfect tall and handsome man with a fair skin and kind demeanor. It's like all the things she encountered so far are trials to be worthy of seeing this handsome man.

Melvin smiles seeing the admiration in the girl's eyes. Before she dozes off, he has to pull her back to reality.

"Excuse me? Did Master brings you here?" Of course, there's no other explanation than that but Melvin just wants her to snap out her fancy dream.

Shekki blinks. The dream is broken. She almost married him in that dream.

"Ah..Y-yes. The master made me his servant girl and wants me to care for his herb garden."

Melvin is shocked with that. "You? To the herb garden?" Melvin taps his chin.

The girl looks ordinary and she is actually easy to read. Her fluttering eyes and shyly peeking at him look is so obvious that she is smitten by him.. Melvin can only smile.

Among the 4 core disciples of the headmaster. Melvin is the only one with a kind demeanor unlike the 3 antisocials so disciples tend to show him more respect and affection. Though he is fed up with them he is still a gentleman.

"A servant girl huh. It's been years since that happens. Do you want me to show you around?"

Shekki nods her head. Of course she is aware that Melvin is putting distance between them. She is not that thick not to notice so she herself made sure not to come closer and just admire him from a certain distance. The tour is easily done. Her room is the farthest room. No.It is actually not even part of the whole house. It is separated by two to three meter. She has her own bathroom and bed so it doesn't matter and to be honest she is even thankful to have one. She thought she would climb this mountain every morning to serve the master. So instead of getting sad she is even happier.

His core disciples live with the headmaster. She is just an inner disciple that is hand picked by the headmaster to serve him. It is a great honor. She will surely tell Angeline about it. 'Will she burst and die in anger?' She is feeling more and more joy inside.

Melvin smiles at Shekki.

"I haven't asked your name."

"I am She-Charm. You can call me Shekki. I like this name more." She said. "Can I also? Ask Senior's name? I-I just want to ask because I don't want to be rude later if I call you by mistake. It is fine if you won't….tell me." Shekki's face flushed red. She never tried asking a man's name before. She felt the timing was right so she asked but now she thinks how he is putting a distance and knows she is not totally welcome.

"You don't know my name?" Melvin asks in shock.

Shekki's face became bright red. "S-sorry. I only entered the sect 2 and half months ago. I-I lived in the outer Clan so...I...I don't know Senior brother, sorry."

Melvin shakes his head. "No. I am just.So you are from the outer clan. Of course it's impossible to know me. I am not blaming you. My name is Melvin. I am the 2nd Core disciple of Master. The Eldest Senior is in that room, his name is Elias. The third disciple is from the first room after master, his name is Lan. The fourth disciple is always running away from here so he's currently away. He is a bit of an airhead but he doesn't mean bad. His name is Orbit."

"I see." She doesn't really get it. 'So Ice is named Lan,he is the third disciple. The fire man is Elias, he is Senior disciple. Hottie is the second disciple and an unknown lost cat is the fourth disciple named Orbit.Okay. Store that in my head.'

"Do you want to see the herb garden?"

"Yes."

That is her duty so she really wants to see this herb…..gar…

"This is?" She wants to cry and looks at Melvin pitifully.

The herb garden is huge and it looks like a modern greenhouse with walls and ceiling. It is impressive from outside. But there is disaster inside.

"Dead….They are all dead?" She looks at Melvin.

Melvin looks away with a 'don't-ask-me' smile

"Master said they were still alive."

"......so it's a dying greenhouse." She can't believe it. She wants to resign!

Gulps.

There's tears in her heart but she can't really slap that headmaster's face and tell him to snap out of it.

'Whatever.' She sighs and looks at the thousands of herbs in this huge greenhouse.
