Chapter 427 Return of books

Chapter 427 Returning the Book
Kevin had worked diligently for a few days since he’d taken a part-time job as the administrator of the Royal Archives.

In his spare time, he hungrily read through the various collections in the archive, the vast majority of which were open to the administrators, except for some private royal records.

Originally thought that there would be a lot of people here, but it was cold and quiet for a few days in a row, it seems that the royal children are not particularly good at learning ah.

However, this happened to fulfill Kevin’s heart, this way he would have more free time to study.

On this day, his supervisor gave him a hard job, transcribing a somewhat damaged ancient scroll. Kevin worked from morning to noon, so tired that his wrists ached, the supervisor gave very strict requirements, the transcription of the new book should be neat handwriting, word for word, but also can not be scribbled traces of outlining.

This is really bitter Kevin, he is not a professional scribe, sometimes accidentally write a word wrong, a whole sheet of paper will be null and void.

Busy until noon only copied one-fifth, the stomach has rumbled, Kevin decided to go out first to fill up his stomach.

He stood up and looked at his morning’s results, sighed and said, “If only there was a printing press here.”

“A printing press? What’s a printing press?”

A female voice came from a short distance away.

Someone is coming?

Kevin looked up toward the door.

Only to see a delicate and cute young girl walk in.

Kevin asked politely, “May I ask who you are?”

The young girl proudly raised her head to introduce herself, “I am the granddaughter of the current Chancellor of the Empire, Duke Diaz, and the cousin of His Highness Felix – Lord Vivian Diaz, why don’t you quickly bow to me.”

“Greetings, Miss Vivian.”

Kevin bowed to her in a formal manner.

“May I ask what brings you here?”

The young girl pouted, “Hey, you still haven’t told me what the printing press is!”

“Oh, sorry. ” Kevin hurriedly introduced to her, “A printing press is a machine that can easily print already typeset text on paper by applying a type of ink called ink, and then bind it into a book to make a book without having to go through the trouble of transcribing it word by word by hand. “

The young girl’s eyes twinkled as she rubbed her chin and said, “Interesting, if such a machine really existed, wouldn’t all the world’s copyists be out of a job. “

Kevin shrugged, “Maybe. “

The chancellor’s granddaughter frowned, “You’re not going to lie to me, if there really is this kind of machine, how come I’ve never seen nor never heard of it. “

Kevin hurriedly explained, “This kind of machine has only just been invented a few years ago, and it’s far away in Aldo, which is 10,000 miles away, and it’s probably still a long time before it reaches Gabella. “

The young girl covered her mouth in surprise, “Ya, it’s my second aunt’s country, that …… is very far indeed.”

Then she whispered, “Hmph, such a good thing is even Aldo to get out.”

Kevin heard it and spat in his heart, “There are many novelties you have not seen in Aldo.”

He picked up the book used for recording on the table and said with some bragging, “This kind of paper is also passed down from Aldo, oh.”

This time Vivian ignored him, but called out to the outside somewhat unhappily, “Ms. Coleridge, aren’t you here on business?”

Only then did Kevin notice that there was another person not far away, dressed as a court lady, the other party slowly walked over after hearing Vivian’s shout, Kevin felt some familiarity, looking at the figure he seemed to have seen it somewhere.

This Ms. Coleridge’s face was covered with a light veil, as she came to the table, Kevin saw the other party’s face clearly. What a beautiful face, this was Kevin’s first impression.

Then he was surprised to notice that the other party had white hair, even her eyebrows were white.

And the lady’s skin color was milky snow white but it was the normal kind of snow white, so it could be judged that she was not suffering from some kind of disease that Kevin knew.

So amazing ah, Kevin has seen black hair, blonde hair, brown hair, red hair, just have not seen a young man with a head full of white hair, rumor has it that there is a female advisor beside the Earl of Greiman who has green hair, but Kevin has not seen it.

Seeing Kevin frothing, Ms. Coleridge seemed to be accustomed to this kind of reaction and did not show any displeasure.

She warmly reminded, “Mr. Administrator, I’m here to return the book.”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I’ll take care of it for you right away.”

Kevin scrambled to find the loan record and rummage through it.

“Please sign here.”

Vivian, who was on the side, saw Kevin in this state and said disdainfully, “Hmph, men are all the same.”

Just as Ms. Coleridge was about to hand over the book to Kevin, she suddenly drank, “Wait!”

Then she snatched the book and flipped it up with a clatter, the roughness of her maneuver looked at Kevin for a while.

She flipped the book over and shook it again, but found nothing before throwing it on the table, confusing Kevin as to why she was doing this.

After the formalities were completed, this Ms. Coleridge smiled and said to the Chancellor’s granddaughter, “Miss Vivian, will you continue to follow me?”

“Of course!” Vivian’s eyes widened, “I’ll keep an eye on you until you reveal yourself.”

“Although I don’t know why brother Felix trusts you so much, my intuition tells me that there’s just something wrong with you, humph!”

Kevin looked at the two of them with a bitter smile, it seemed that the relationship between these two women was not very cordial, although he didn’t know the exact reason for it, but how it looked was like that subconscious hostility that one pretty woman had towards the other was being aroused.

Ms. Coleridge smiled helplessly, as if she were dealing with an irrational child.

“Then you’ll come along, I have a lot of work to do.”

With a graceful turn, she headed for the door, and Vivian followed with a huff.

Just as Ms. Coleridge turned, however, Kevin’s eyes caught her look for a split second.

Icy, indifferent.

As if it matched the silver-white hair full of snow, it made people feel like they were in an ice cellar.

Could it be that her warm words and smile just now were all pretend?
Wait, Kevin remembered Vivian’s words just now, Brother Felix? Wasn’t that His Majesty the Emperor’s eldest son?
The first time Kevin followed his mentor and seniors into the Imperial Palace, he had a face-to-face encounter with that His Highness.

That was when he was accompanied by a court lady, which seemed …… to be this Ms. Coleridge.

No wonder it felt like déjà vu when we first met.

“Alas, it’s important to fill my stomach, I still have to rush back to copy the book!”

Kevin shook his head, expelling the court politics bridge he had read from novels from his mind, and walked briskly outside.
