《The Prodigy and the Genius》Chapter 20
Advertisement
"So, master Luke... what are the things you like?" Theresa happily asked Luke.
I thought she was supposed to be a cold woman but I guess the society is wrong. She may look cold on the outside, but on the inside... I guess she is not.
No, it is only in front of Luke. From the way of her attitude, she is very cold and senile to others. But this is the first time Luke met her... how could she fell in love with Luke? Did she heard him as a famous prodigy???
"Nothing" Luke coldly rejected her. Now, that I think about it, Luke is always cold to others except us.
This is my first time seeing Luke interact with another noble. Well, I spent my time lock up.
Also, this is my first time to see another noble for more than 5 years. Another reason is because of father. And me, what else.
Father and his friend excuse themselves leaving them alone. They were both creepily smiling that I don't care what's wrong with them anymore.
Well, whatever...
Since I have a very low presence, I was able to run back to my room. Theresa's focus is on Luke so I was able to get back to my sleep.
But as soon as I came back to my room, I cannot sleep. I repeat, I CANNOT SLEEP. But why is that a little while ago, I was sleepy...?? Is this the legendary "I am sleepy but later I am not"? No... I want my sleep back...
I guess, this is the result for sleeping four whole days.....
Now, I'm bored....
What should I do....
I want to play with father and his friend.... but too much hard work... Also, I'll definitely get a scold from father...

Whatever, I'll just make some frappe. But I need some ingredients.... I cannot send the owl since it will definitely attract some attention....
I'll guess I'll be the one who will going down. It's a nice exercise after all...
***
What should I do? Master Luke is very quite persistent.... No matter what I say, he ignores. I thought I could ask him about the contracts of magical beast.
Luke Linux is a very mysterious person. He was able to invent a theory about the transfer magic at the same time, a flying magic at a young age. Aside from being adopted from the Linux family, there is no record of him.
I cannot penetrate him with my smile. Even though I admire him with all of my heart.
I gave up. I guess I have to revert back to my original personality..
"Since master Luke doesn't like talking then please excuse this one. This one hates silence when talking with a person. This one should just roam this mansion but will not go deeper in it" I said, reverting back to my original self.
I thought he will stop me but he didn't. He really doesn't care a lady's heart? How frustrating.
Previously, my attitude change because I admire him. But since he won't talk, I rather go tour around this mansion.
But... I know this thing isn't supposed to happen. I know I should continue to talk more with him in order to befriend with him...
But, I'm not her. I am not the old Theresa who's only focus is to build connections with the other nobles.
I know in my heart I really like Luke because of his cool personality. But no matter what all the thing he does is very cool.
Wait...
.
.
.
I am lost.
I am so focus on my thoughts that I don't know where I am. There is no servants around here.... What should I do?
But why is there no servants around here? This place is a little bit dusty. Shouldn't the servants clean this place?
Suddenly, I heard a lazy(?) voice in front of me
"Ahh.... finally I got all the ingredients....."
A girl whose hair and eyes' are black.
'Impossible!' I thought
I mean there is no way in this world that black hair and black eyes exist!
Without a moment, my mouth opened itself
"You. Who are you?"

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
