When I saw Lia slept besides me, i was startled but at the same time amazed at how beautiful she is. While staring at her beautiful face, I noticed that there's a scar on her cheek, albeit almost transparent to the naked eye. Wondering why a beautiful girl like her had gotten a scar on her face, I slowly reach my hand to her but suddenly she woke up.
"(Yawns), Papa is that you?" Talking while her eyes closed.
The Next Day
I woke up and slowly touching my head. "It hurts." While touching my head, I noticed Lia sat besides me nodding while half asleep. "Cute" I whisper.
Suddenly she noticed that I have woken up and started to apologize. "I am really sorry for what happened yesterday!" She said.
"It's okay" I said gently. "But can I ask a question? Why are you in my bed last night?"
"Well... It's some sort of a thing..." She said while making an embarrased look. "It's because I have a tendency to sleep walk and get to another bed. It's usually my father's bed but I don't know why I ended up at your bed last night." She said with a guilty tone.
"Hahahaha!" I laughed.
"Hey why are you laughing?!" She asked.
"Well this is the first time in my life that i saw a sleep walker, and that certain sleepwalker crawls into my bed!" I said while laughing.
"You bastard!" She shouted. "But i'm glad that you seem happier then when you first woke up" She said with a soft tone.
When she said that I stopped laughing. I realized how pathetic I am. I was the only survivor at that incident, but I kept blaming myself and just started to think about revenge.I never even felt a gratitude towards the people who saved me and just distanced myself from them. I was pathetic.
"Thank you" I said. "If it wasn't because you guys saving me, I wouldn't be here. I'm really, really grateful" I said with a guilty look.
She then smiled and started to shout. "Well! That aside, let's go eat breakfast! My dad is already waiting for us in the dining room!"
"Hahaha" I laughed. "Well you can go on, i'm gonna get ready first"
"Oh yeah, your change of clothes is already in the wardrobe. My father already measured you and said that the size of the clothes prepared will fits you perfectly!" She said.
"Oh wow, thank you. I can't even give you anything in return." I said with an apologetic look.

"No problem, no problem! Just a thank you is enough." She said. "Ok then, hurry and get prepared and me and my father will wait for you at the dining room!" She then hurried to outside of my room.
*SLAMS! (Sound of the door being slammed)
"Hahaha, at least close the door properly" I said. "Well then it is time to get prepared." I then jumps out from my bed and goes to the wardrobe.
While walking towards the dining room, I noticed that there's a broom sweeping the floor by itself. "So it really is magic" I said to myself. After that I then proceed to the dining room.
"Well, there he is" said Smith. "Come over here and have breakfast with us."
I then proceed sitting at the opposite side of Tia. I was still astonished on the quality of the food here. It is because I never have gotten this high quality type of food back in my town.
"Hahaha!" he laughs. "Don't worry the food won't bite." He said with a smile.
I then proceed to eat the food. "Oh wow!" I said while astonished again. The roasted mackarel is so sweet and tender that it melts in your mouth. On the other hand, the sauce is spicy yet salty enough to counter the sweetness of the mackarel. It was a really fulfilling meal. Then I picked out the tea and started drinking it. The tea itself was also good, it really shoved away the fishyness of the mackarel and calms your soul. I then start to ask Mr. Smith.
"Um mister Smith, sir?" I said with an asking tone. "How does the food and drink tasted so good even though they are made by your magic cooking utensils?"
"Hahaha!" He laughed. "Well thank you for that, but to be honest today's food is not made by my magic." He said. "Even though I'm a witch doctor, my magic won't be so good to make this quality of food."
"Oh, then who's the one that made it?" I asked.
"Well she's sitting right here." said Mr. Smith.
"Papa!" Lia shouted angrily. "I told you to keep it a secret!"
"Hahaha" He laughed again. "Well, to be honest I too was confused on to why was Lia eagerly made this breakfast. And wow when I found out it was because she felt sorry for you for yesterday's incident I laughed really hard!" He said while laughing.
"Papa!" She shouts again. The room then filled with laughter. After some time, I then wondered what Mr. Smith said before, about being a witch doctor. I then asked him.
"Um, Mr. Smith. Can I asked you something?" I asked.
"Yes, what is it?" He said.
"Well, it's about what you said before, about being a Witch Doctor. Is it some sort of a magician class? It's because I thought that you were a magician." I asked again.
"Well, you're not wrong but you're not right either." He said. "A witch doctor, is something between a magician and a healer. It is a class that's focused on curse, medicine, and manipulating objects. So it is a different class of its own."
"Wait, so there's a different class besides the three classes? I thought that they are the only classes available and besides them are just a common class, like merchant or a villager and a noble class if you're born a noble. And isn't classes are determined by birth?" I asked.
"Well, you are quite right. But there's something you need to know that there are classes that can be acquired through effort, in my case it's a witch doctor."
