《Shadowlove (Lite)》Chapter 10: The Royal Library of Lumines
Advertisement
The library doors weren't difficult to find as they stand out due to the extremely decorative door for the room. This was because the room was the center room of the castle and was expected to be a multi-used room for research and other scholars in the castle to use. But they have since moved out of the castle and moved to the academy school in the capital. Opening the door, the smell of old paper and candles filled her lungs. The sight of large and wavy shelves filled her eyes. All lined up with books of different thicknesses filled the shelves and stretched up to the second floor. There was even a third floor, though small and tall as the roof was connected to the center tower of the exterior of the castle. There is a small window at the very top, but Yasuline has never seen anyone in the castle interact with it. She enters the library with the cart to food behind her. Looking around, she finds that the room was empty as usual.
"There." One of the guards says after setting the cart near a small table where people normally sip tea and read by. "Should there be anything else important, you can notify us. We shall stand guard by the door." They bow to her and then take their leave, closing the door behind them.
Yasuline would let out a sigh as she was left on her own once more. She doesn't have the same anxiety from last night, knowing that there are people other than her in the castle. She would slowly stroll around in a circle and then enters the narrow aisles of the books. She had a lot of time to waste and felt her body and mind adjusting to a slow pace. She could feel her body relax more and more. She would start reading through the titles of some of the books she was looking through. "The Fall of the Demones. Legends of the Crystalbeast. The Kingdom that Disappeared One Night." Most of the books in the library were uninteresting to Yasuline who is only fascinated with her father's tales of adventures and anything that was exciting like battles. Thankfully, her father had taken the time to hand the journals that he took and used during his adventures to have it be replicated and sold as books throughout the world of Altas. And he was given copies of them to put into the library. That was where Yasuline was headed. Although rarely, she would be found here during some of her days as a child to pass the time. And since she uses it rarely, not often she gets bothered by someone, letting her read the books she wants most of the time she wanted. As she headed to the small section where the books were kept, she unknowingly bumped into someone. She was so distracted by tracing her finger along the binds of the books that she didn't see what was in front of her. Getting caught so much in the surprise, she falls onto her rear.

"Ow!" She cried as she reaches behind her to rub her slightly bruised back. Looking up, she would see a familiar white coat flowing over a person's body.
"H-huh? The Wh-" She catches her volume level and covers her mouth. Letting go, she controls her voice to a low whisper. "The White Reaper? What are you doing here?"
He responds by holding up an open book that he was looking through. Around him, she could see other books were pulled from the shelves and stacked. All looked to be organized from which shelf they came from.
Getting up, she would be able to see the book he was currently looking through. "Oh, the history of my family. That's a pretty boring topic. My family doesn't really do anything special until my father." Yasu would say so nonchalantly. Although she doesn't really mean anything by it. She never found the actions her family has done aside from forming the kingdom. She would always have to elaborate that she doesn't have an interest in many things outside of adventures and anything with action. It's what makes studying to be the next queen that much of a struggle for both parties.
The White Reaper would look at her with a curious look and then holds his hand out to her, palm open as if waiting to be given something.
"Huh? What? You want to see what I think is good books?" She guessed.
He nods.
She would smile widely. Hardly anyone asks what she recommends. Always just what they think she should read in the hopes to improve and widen her interests. She retreats into the aisle she was originally going to and picks out a white bound book with gold lettering. Proudly. She delivers the book into his hand. "The Young Adventures of King Suko Lights, Volume One" it read on the cover. With a portrait of him during his youth with a few other individuals. "This one is my favorite in the series as it contains adventures of my dad when he went to the sky and found ancient ruins of the dragos. It also has him meeting my mom for the first time. So that part is cute." She would tell with such enthusiasm. The White Reaper would put the book he had down, and simultaneously returns the gesture of handing her a book of his own choice. The cover was a design of Alta, their world. Cover reading "The World of Rebirth" Normally, Yasu would be dismissive in checking out a book that didn't to be a story of adventures and wonders. Maybe it was because he took her own suggestion first or it was simply because the infamous White Reaper handed her this as a suggestion. Nonetheless, she kept hold of the book, opening the pages and skimming through it all. She quietly walked over to her usual seat where she read her stories and sits down, unaware of the White Reaper sitting in a seat near her.
