Chapter 39: Peaceful Daily Life
When he woke up again, Mark found himself on the bed in his room.
In order to confirm if it was a dream, Mark stuck his head out and saw that the living room was clean without any trash or smell.
Looking around, he saw that Senforia was sleeping on the sofa and was relieved.
“Looks like it was a dream!” Then, he found a blanket from the cabinet and covered her body.
Then, he went to the door and checked the latest information.
Perhaps because the defense battle this time had not ended officially, there were no classes in the academy recently.
With nothing to do, Mark went to the shower and washed up. Then, he turned around and went to the kitchen to look at the vegetables in the refrigerator.
He prepared to cook dinner..
The smell quickly came from the kitchen as Senforia woke up immediately.
She stood up and went to the kitchen, greeting Mark, “Are you okay?”
“You haven’t been up in a week!”
“It’s okay! Other than that nightmare, everything is okay!” With that, he started stewing.
At this, Senforia quietly retreated from the kitchen.
She had not expected that the food she cooked would cause such great harm to him.
After this time, she completely gave up on the idea of cooking.
Sitting at the living room table, she patiently waited for Mark’s dinner.
Today, Senforia did not come without a reason. She had something to tell Mark.
It was about her identity.
After all, the teammates had already known about her true identity. Only Leader Mark did not know!
While she was in a daze and wanted to explain, Mark had already brought over a few prepared stews.
Smelling the deliciousness on the plate, she immediately picked up the knife and fork in her hand and took a piece of meat to eat.
Mark, who was cooking, took off his apron and sat beside him, preparing to eat his meal.
Glancing up, he saw that Senforia’s expression was very conflicted, as if she had something to say.
Therefore, after some guesses, he realized it was about her identity.
“What’s wrong? Did I cook something bad?”
At this, Senforia came to her senses. With Mark’s eyes on her, she shed her disguise.
Looking at this beautiful face, Mark smiled and praised, “How beautiful!”
“Although this is the first time I’ve seen your true appearance, I have to praise you for your beauty!”
Seeing that Mark was not surprised, Senforia was very disappointed.
“Is there nothing else you want to ask?”
Mark touched his chin and thought carefully for a few minutes before replying, “No!”
This was because Mark felt that maintaining this relationship was very good. If she had to expose it, their relationship in the future would definitely change greatly.
Therefore, he played dumb and said, “Because you’re too beautiful, it’s normal to hide your appearance. There’s nothing surprising about that!”
“You’ve been so nice to me all this time, so I won’t take this small matter to heart!”
“After all, I’m a normal man. I naturally have some thoughts when I see beautiful women.”
Hearing Mark’s words, Senforia immediately felt that something was wrong.
‘He’s changing the topic. He doesn’t want to discuss my identity.’
Seeing that Mark was not too surprised, Senforia planned to continue hiding the truth.
“It’s great that you’re not angry!”
Hearing this, Mark smiled and silently shook his head.
From the moment he had first seen Senforia, Mark had roughly known that she had been pretending. He had only been a little confused.
In the following period of time, through her various performances, he discovered how special her identity was and understood why she did this.
This careless girl only wanted to spend time with others as a normal person.
After learning this, Mark had no reason to blame her and enjoyed a lot of benefits following her.
Seeing that Senforia was still in a daze, Mark urged, “Eat quickly! The stew won’t taste good if it’s cold.”
Then, he used the fork in his hand to put a piece of lean meat on her plate.
At this moment, Senforia was conflicted about forming a team. She was afraid that Mark would not form a team with her because of her appearance.
“From today onwards, are you still willing to help me become an excellent adventurer?” The voice was very soft, as if there was some hesitation.
After hearing this, Mark smiled and put down his fork, “Of course!”
“Do you not want to be an adventurer anymore?”
“Of course not. It’s okay, it’s okay. Let’s eat!”
Looking at Senforia’s hesitation, Mark could not help but feel happy.
After dinner, there was a knock on the door.
Opening the door, Renae and Carter came to Mark’s house as guests.
“Hey! Have you recovered?”
“I’m so happy to see you guys!”
After inviting the two into the living room, Mark continued to ask, “Have you eaten?”
With a nod, Renae walked beside Senforia. After this battle, their relationship seemed to have grown.
After Carter sat down, he asked, “How’s your recovery?”
“I’m completely recovered. I just need to rest for a few days!”
After a while, the two saw that there seemed to be much to say between Senforia and Mark.
The two of them very consciously gave Mark the gift they prepared and left.
After the two of them left, Mark brought Senforia to the backyard.
“What’s wrong? You look like you have a lot to say!”
The two sat on a long bench in the backyard. She was silent for a moment.
“When did you know my true identity?”
Raising his head to think, Mark recalled the first time that Senforia had summoned the Frost Dragon.
“Do you remember when we were in the Gut Mountains?”
“Because you drove the carriage forward, we were directly surrounded by magical beasts.”
“I was still a little angry that time!”
“So early?”
“Then why didn’t you question me later on? Wouldn’t you think that there is a reason for me to get close to you?!”
Hearing this, Mark laughed softly, “Hahaha, you’re a princess, what benefits can you get from me!”
“So you’ve been playing dumb all this time!” With that, she turned her head away.
Seeing this scene, Mark quickly explained, “At that time, I was a little confused, but after receiving so many favors from you, how could I still doubt you?”
“Later, I heard that you were going to be an adventurer, so I could not expose your identity!”
Senforia turned her head and looked at Mark seriously. She immediately reached out and patted him, “You’re lying!”
“Your eyes are wavering!”
