"This is the room, Jill Bale. You can use it as you like.
"Thank you, sir.
Being a servant of a middle-class house, I was cared for when my head turned well and was given a sleeping room in the mansion.... and even so, it's just a storage room. Apparently it was originally a library, and everything was filled with piles of books left to the extent that I could lay down.
Ever since I heard about Maria's engagement, I started reading and fishing for even books every morning and night when I couldn't meet Maria outside of work. I also understood the reading and writing of the letters and kept looking for ways to somehow live with Maria. I accumulated my knowledge of books so that I could devour them regardless of any knowledge.
And it was just a week later.
The Lady of the Mansion was inviting friends and throwing a party that day. I saw many times a woman with brilliant gold and jewel decorations and a man taking that hand as I cleaned up the dishes in that hall as a waiter.
Then I cleaned up late at night and went back to my room and thought to Maria. Yesterday, she was talking about two older sisters bragging about the ornaments her father had bought her. He told me that it was very beautiful and that he admired it.
- How happy would I be if I grew up and could give her such brilliant decorations?
Yes, when I was swelling my dreams at myself and Maria's appearance as an adult.
… my body grew rapidly.
I was uncomfortable with the feeling of stretching my back, and when I reviewed my body, I was gradually growing taller, my hands and feet were longer, and my clothes were about to tear apart with only a few clothes.
Special abilities.
Our country's own existence. Capabilities vary from person to person and their value is often determined by usefulness and rarity. I gradually read and fished for books on special abilities that I had read before, keeping my excitement from cooling.
And that there has been only one special ability person in the past: age manipulation. An immortal person… an extremely rare special ability person who can even manipulate his life expectancy. It was also noted that in order to become the upper echelons of the country, emphasis was placed on having special abilities that were rare and excellent rather than domestic.
This is it, I was convinced.
With this power, I could be the upper echelon of the country. That would also allow us to live better now and perhaps welcome Maria.
This special ability is a gift from God. I truly thought I could reach out from heaven to save Maria.
"We won't see each other for a while.
It was two nights later that I revealed that to her. She wolfed terribly at my words and wept that there was no more time. So I held her hands, stared into those eyes, and swore.
"I will definitely pick you up...! Before you turn sixteen, be sure.
That said, I use special abilities.
I let her round my eyes at me growing in front of her. Ever since I woke up to my special abilities I had practiced many times and was also able to manipulate my age as I wished in just two days.
I slowly encourage my body to grow and try to be an adult in front of her.
"With this special ability, I will always try to be the upper level of the castle.... and Maria. I'll pick you up.
So I can't see you. Even a day… long, minute by second. And much, you have to acquire both knowledge and skill.
Maria nodded at me. He told me over and over again that he was "waiting" with a big tear in his eyes.
Having exchanged temporary goodbyes and promises with her, I have been immersed in study since that day. Knowledge, martial arts and escorts were buried from the classroom.
I really wanted to quit my servant and encourage him to study, but quitting my servant is not something I can learn in my current room book or buy a new book. As I continued to serve, I spared no time while I slept and continued to punch into my studies.
To make her happy.
