"Are you crazy!?" an old man screamed until my eardrums burst, what the hell!? One moment, duke karvis?

The man who was about 54 years old who had wrinkles on his face and also yellow colored hair actually stood before me.

Blue eyes and straight posture, luxurious clothes that feel royal.

He really is Duke karvis!

"I asked! Then answer!" His screams were harsh and my hands felt excruciating pain as he gripped my wrists harder.

"What have you done!?"

"Answer!"

My head was lowered, only staring flatly down what looked like asphalt, my clothes were ordinary maid clothes that other maids always wore.

"I don't know..Duke.."

His gaze sharpened, his stare made me shiver.

'I really don't know! Please stop snapping at me! I'm still only 17 years old! I should already be at the academy and studying like any other teenager!' my eyes tightened, i don't want to get stuck with duke karvis, he is arrogant and dare to say rude things.

"W-Wait, what are they doing? Why are they wearing the clothes in those manhwas?"

"I don't know, but I want to take a photo with the one wearing the maid outfit"

Many Korean people looked at me and Duke Karvis, they were holding a long thin box, which also gave off light from the front! Actually what is it? Is that the latest version of the camera?

Also, the thousands of towering buildings made me even more amazed and strange, the streets were so crowded with foreign mysterious vehicles that even I couldn't believe it.

"Ah, I feel like I'm going to die" I crouched lazily, hugging my knees tightly.

Duke karvis who also sounded depressed looked around at everything around him, looking at everyone who passed by with weird looks because of their clothes that we didn't even know about.

"S-Sorry, are you two... father and daughter?" A young man who happened to be passing by was questioning Duke Karvis, I glanced up to see the young man.

Duke karvis paused and gave a surprised look "what? You must've been mistaken-"

"Wow! You guys are really father and daughter huh? Your cosplays are so stunning! Can I take a photo with you guys?"

"P-Photo?" Duke Karvis was forced by the young man with his left hand hugging Duke's shoulder and left hand holding the strange camera again.. but I saw a mirror screen that reflected me and their reflection, what was it?

"One moment, I want to come too" I joined them and stood flat, the young man posed with his hands, Duke Karvis just.. looked like he was suffering and confused.

Crick

That box thing makes a sound! What exactly..?

"It's done! This is the result!" We saw the photo that immediately appeared on the screen, we were both completely.. lost for words.

"Thanks! I'll be posting on social media so see you soon!" He bowed or maybe slouched? As a sign of respect... maybe, I don't know anymore.

"What is it kosipley, wait.. what is kosipley? One moment, I feel like killing myself because of this curiosity!" I'm crazy! Where is this place actually!?

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Duke Karvis could only sigh harshly while pinching the bridge of his nose due to excessive stress.

"Sir.. what exactly happened?"

"I don't know! That's why I'm asking you!" He screamed with arrogance that even made me want to run away.

'Oh, that's right, why did I ask back? I asked him and he answered rudely'

Duke Karvis crossed his arms and chuckled in annoyance "Why do I have to be with a lowly maid like you?"

"Then forgive me, I will go" without further ado I immediately walked away from him.

"W-Wait! No, I don't want to be alone"

Look around, even such a monstrous Duke still needs a companion. But actually the duke was always alone in his manor so that's probably why he was so afraid of being alone.

But actually, the two of us ate together once because there wasn't anyone else in the big manor. Since the chef wasn't around either, Duke would cook his own food for a while.

I was quite surprised when a duke cooks his own food, but from what I saw he was eating food that looked nutritious.

Seeing his food... makes me hungry, but I've tasted his food too, maybe it was because he hit his head or maybe his mood was bright. Suddenly a bowl of warm soup was served in front of me.

We both sat and ate in silence, but the taste of the food was so delicious I almost forgot that next to me was Duke Karvis.

"I'm hungry.." we have been walking somewhere for a long time, maybe 2-6 hours have passed without a clue.

"Hold on a second, I will definitely find a way out and return to the manor... b-but, it feels so impossible." Even duke karvis gave up.

"Hahh.. I miss the food at the manor- ah, there's no chef"

I realized, that all the food that was cooked was from Duke's cooking because I was really bad at cooking. At that time I served him a burnt cake and he just stared lazily until his spoon fling away with anger.

"Did you just say you missed my cooking? Tch, next time cook your own food" it felt like Duke was mocking me but he himself looked like he was blushing out of embarrassment because he thought I was giving him a compliment.

Indeed, life without a family is sad, because almost all of his children do not want to meet their own father due to the shame of Duke Karvis' past, they think Duke Karvis is lowly.. too lowly to be their father.

Though, if they were to meet Duke Karvis, maybe he wouldn't be so lonely and arrogant.

Most of his children are married, that's all I know.

"I can not possibly survive like that" I blurted out.

"What do you mean?"

"No Duke, I was just talking to myself."

His face can be readed clearly, at this time Duke was confused and tried to analyze my behavior.

"Sorry, but is there something in my face? Duke." I don't want this old man to keep looking at me because he's confused, after all we're both trapped in the same boat, my heavy sigh comes out a little.

"No.. anyway why would I see the face of a maid like you." See, he can even add annoying sarcasm in between conversations.

Duke karvis has always been the strict and wise head of the sireniz family, whatever happened to his generous and considerate attitude.. as if all of his positive personality had disappeared without a trace.

But I'm still confused about the children, have they really never visited Duke Karvis? I also as a child often visited the graves of my parents even though they have made some mistakes, I can still forgive them.

Currently we are still walking around a place that is almost like the one in the capital, but more sophisticated and has an amazing shape.

Maybe the person who came up with all the ideas to make what I saw happen, was some great witch, or maybe someone that are absolutely genius!

Wait, witch? I must have read too many old novels.

It didn't take long to see a man coming to us with a tool box in his hand, he approached with a friendly smile.

"Excuse me, I assumed you were a father and daughter that was cosplaying from the post I saw! Would you two come with me?" Somehow, his aura was different and enough to make us both hesitate.

We were brought by him to a place that has a large building structure and solid white walls, here are two glass doors that can open by themselves, and that made Duke Karvis and I really dumbfounded, how can a door open by itself!?

When we entered, we were both greeted with a cold room that was almost like winter weather, and it made both of our bodies fresh and almost frozen because it was very difficult to adapt to this strange cold.

"What's the name of this place, exactly?" Duke Karvis clutched his cloak tighter because of the cold, fortunately he was wearing a pair of luxurious white gloves.

But me? I feel like frozen in place.

"This name is called a convenience store, everyone knows this place..and also, they provide a lot of choices in terms of food and drinks!" The man exclaimed, both of us could only listen in confusion.

"Could it be, that this is in the future?" The duke beside me turned to stare at me for a moment, he couldn't even believe my words, but both of us were completely stranded in this new world out of nowhere.

With a bit of anxiety, Duke Karvis opened his mouth and spoke. "Other than that, what year is now...?"

What a question, both of us should know what time of year it is, is the empire system still active until this year!

"This year is 2023, and also! My name is Seong hiyop, nice to meet you." If you take a closer look, his face looks the same age as mine.. and he looks handsome too.

Wait a minute, what am I talking about right now!? Now is not the time to look at someone's face but to discuss the year!

"2-2023..? That's really far from the year im living in, then I'd be reduced to dust by now." What Duke Karvis said is very logical, I too will be gone in this year.

But we were both sucked in and appeared here.. what a strange phenomenon.

"Therefore! You have to eat first, I will treat you"

.

.

.

.

"What's this." Duke Karvis' words came out flat and without interest in the food that was on the table.

"This food is called gimbap! And the other one is called ramen noodles"

"Well, we don't have any money anyway, thank you very much Mister Seong"

We were advised to eat with chopsticks, but as a result both of us kept dropping the chopsticks because they were too hard to use.

Duke Karvis was angry and finally broke the chopsticks by splitting the two handles of the chopsticks in half.

"C-Cheer up... You guys can do it..." The hesitation in Mr. Seong's voice could explain everything.

'can what!? Using chopsticks is torturous'

"Also, you can stay at my house."

'Suddenly?.. does he not even feel the slightest bit of doubt towards the two of us?'

I stared at the gimbap food with a limp face.

At first Duke Karvis and I were stuck in this year.. now someone is letting us in his house, and that person seems different.

Maybe there will be other surprises later... that will surprise me even more.

"Also, the two of us aren't a father and daughter pair. He is my servant and I am a duke." Somehow it sounds so arrogant, tchk..

"Sorry, I honestly didn't know, but you guys can live in my house now."

"I have to interject, would you believe that the two of us had kind of time traveled to the future? Would you believe that?"

I'm waiting for the answer to come out.

After a few seconds he replied; "Of course, after all.. is there even a single thing that doesn't make sense, surely time travel still has a scientific explanation right?"

No, I don't think time travel makes any sense at all, his brain is too backwards compared to mine!

But with that, Mr. Seong allowed both of us to stay overnight and adapt in this modern world. I don't know how long we'll be staying.
