Dear My Knight

3. Ashera Glade & Chersha Kalua (27)

***

One of the waiting seats in the gymnasium prepared for open sparring in the grounds of Glaad Mansion.

As soon as the people from the Birbalce family left, people from other families also started to leave.

“Glead’s knights are definitely of a different level.”

“Rumor has it that he was adopted eight years ago. Did Eisen Glade recognize that talent from then on?”

“Maybe something like that.”

“Really… those eyes are scary.”

People who leave their seats, spitting out various words, only now that the Birbalce family has left. A person standing silently among the crowd gazes at the knight with blonde hair standing in the center of the arena with shining eyes.

Seeing him talking a lot while being surrounded by people who seemed to be Glaad’s vassals, he seemed shy or embarrassed like a boy his age.

It was a stark contrast to the way he was showing off his swordsmanship with sharp momentum until just now.

“… Looking at it now, you look better than me.”

Inyoung, who was looking at the scene, muttered in a voice so low that no one could hear.

The figure of her luxurious white robe that hid her. A few of her people had their eyes on her, but no one approached her easily. Some of the figures around her were knights in armor that were unusual for her appearance.

“Two thousand.”

Having said that, the figure of the robe raised her body.

Long silver hair poured down like a waterfall, shining brightly through the robe.

As she raised her body like that, several knights who had been silently guarding her seat raised her body as if they had waited. On one side of the shoulder of such knights, there was an insignia with a brilliant golden bear pattern.

Her figure as she moved like that was surrounded by her mystery, so it was not easy to know her whereabouts. However, the appearance of her knights following her as if escorting her seemed strangely awkward.

It was obviously like an escort, but if you look closely, it looks like it’s not an escort, following you at a certain distance.

A woman in a white robe and several knights left Glaad’s mansion like that.

Compared to the party from other families, he seemed rather modest or understated, but the knight who was seeing off the members of other families at the main gate of Gleard Mansion saw them off with the utmost respect and courtesy.

The woman in the white robe who had left the Gleaard Mansion suddenly stopped walking.

“Do you have anything stuck?”

Instead of answering the article’s question, he just shook his head slightly.

Right after that, the woman who slowly turned her body towards the Gleard Mansion gave a small empty smile.

“….”

She herself had longed for this moment. It was the current reality that he couldn’t even think of his past memories.

What would be the meaning of seeing that scene with my own two eyes, even if it still remains?

It’s a very young childhood memory, and even if you want to remember it, you can’t because you signed a confidentiality agreement.

I knew all of that….

Nevertheless, he had to feel a terrible sense of emptiness when he saw him face to face.

He doesn’t know the memories he keeps, and he doesn’t remember the memories he thought he had.

The gap continued to create a gap in his heart, as if stabbing himself too sharply.

Now, just looking at him from a distance like this, I have to feel a constant burning sensation… , It seemed that if I stayed there any longer, I would probably start talking to him.

‘…’

Having sworn to give his life as his own knight, he was no longer here.

Because of the treaty many years ago, he was held hostage by the Chaldean Empire. That’s why he can’t face him and get caught up in his own fate… Wouldn’t that be too cruel to him?

The thought of meeting him formally disappeared just by recognizing it over and over again.

A few days later, he made an appointment for a visit, looking forward to seeing him, but now he decided to quietly dismiss the thought.

He’s already at this place, so what did he think he would do with what pretext he came?

“Ed Durampel… No. You should call me Ed Glaad now. Please… I hope you are happy here.”

Leaving behind that tiny whisper, she walked away.

The pattern of her bright red lion drawn on one side of her white robe was a pattern representing the lineage of the royal family of Creep Ha…

The golden bear crest of her knights who escort her was an insignia representing the knights directly under the Imperial family of the Chaldean Empire.

“What kind of people run these places? Grandfather?”

“Where retardation is high… They must be nobles.”

From noble mtl dot com.

An old man who was walking with the young girl answered with a cautious smile.

The place where their gaze was directed was an inn that boasted a luxurious and luxurious appearance even at first sight.

Even in the capital of the empire, this inn, located in Arbaltea, was an inn that only dealt with high-ranking nobles or people of high status, and was known for being reserved even for visiting guests.

A man guarding the entrance of the inn looked at them with a small frown, and the girl and the old man who received that look quickly moved on and tried to escape.

“Flea… For my next birthday, I’ll let you eat at a place like that inn.”

“It’s okay. I was simply curious.”

Before he could finish the old man’s soothing words, the girl shook her head with a small smile.

The girl’s dignified answer, unlike her young age, caught Chersha’s eyes.

I wondered why their voices reached my ears clearly among the other voices in my ears, but I felt uncomfortable just passing by.

What’s more, I was more concerned about the girl’s name being Flya.

“Plea.”

“Tell me, Miss Chersha.”

“I want to invite them to the inn and treat them to a meal.”

Her words of her own right now were clearly unpredictable and simple.

“Uh, do you know anyone?”

“No, that girl said it was her birthday today.”

“… To.”

Pleia, who had dazed her eyes at Chersha’s unexpected words, turned to Chersha’s hand and put it in her eyes.

‘Was Chersha such a benevolent person?’

I knew you also sponsored the daycare center on a regular basis. She didn’t even think that she would even say such a thing to take care of the child’s birthday, which she had been passing by.

“Moreover, that girl… Her name is Pleia.”

“Eh?”

“Pl. Re. Ah.”

What does that matter? She thought for a moment at the familiar sound of Plea, who had been answering blankly, and then burst into laughter.

**

“Thank you!”

“No.”

Chersha, who personally saw the old man and the girl thanking her for her extension, turned her steps at the end.

She only served dinner and sent them away.

They were wary of themselves trying to treat them without even having a one-on-one meal, but now that they see them off after finishing their meal, their appearance has changed 180 degrees.

Even if they were commoners residing in the capital, not all lived well, and a smile leaked out of me when I saw the girl cautiously answering that she would never forget the memories at this inn for the rest of her life.

“Chersha… You are so kind!”

“Plea… You know I hate that word.”

After accepting Plea’s fuss, I turned her steps toward my room in the inn.

It’s just that the girl’s dignified attitude came to mind from time to time.

‘Are you looking at them?’

And throughout the meal, let’s ponder why you dared to invite them that way. I could immediately think of a reason.

Now that he is leaving to meet Ed, he may be implicitly recalling her childhood memories.

She must be overlapping him and her self in her childlike appearance.

Unbeknownst to me, I felt that way.

Clap.

After arriving at the room before I knew it, Chersha, who entered first, and Plea, who entered last, carefully closed the door.

As I sat down on the bed unpacking the luggage I was carrying, my eyes closed, probably from the accumulated fatigue of walking around the city.

“Wash it first.”

“Yes!”

Playa did not reject Chersha’s words. Pleaa, who had washed her before and dried her own body, then waited for Chersha to come out of her shower. And when she came out, she rushed right in and volunteered to attend to her.

Chersha, who had refused her first time, finally nodded at Pleaa’s persistence and left her hair still wet.

“… “

Plaia, who was gently touching Chersha’s hair while wrapping her mana in her hand, slowly noticed Chersha.

Obviously, he seemed to be in a bad mood just a while ago when a man who looked like a nobleman was courting Chersha-sama, but after eating with a commoner, he suddenly seemed to feel better again.

I think it’s okay to ask now. Feeling that way, Plea cautiously pursed her lips.

“Chersha-nim, suddenly going to the North… You know.”

“Yes.”

Chersha, who had closed her eyes at Plea’s warm touch, replied.

“Is it because of that guy named Ed?”

“… ….”

Chersha, who quietly opened her eyes at Plea’s words, turned her head slightly.

Pleaa, who had been staring at Chersha as she blankly turned her head, hesitated as she met her gaze with her.

It was an indifferent look that seemed to have no emotion.

It was a nonchalant look, as if you were seeing someone for the first time.

“… How did you know.”

As if it was the first time they met, Chersha’s voice, which was so cold, startled Pleia, and continued urgently.

“Yes, yes Chersha asked me about him every time.”

“I see, I guess… Pleaa, I would have expected it if it were you.”

Chersha, who thought for a moment as if she didn’t need to hear her next words, nodded her head and replied as if she understood.

“So, are you saying that Ed is the right person to go to the North?”

“Yes.”

Seeing Chersha admitting so calmly, Pleaa felt something like a sense of difference in her.

“Because I am so worried.”

What was she thinking?

“….”

Pleaa, suddenly speechless at the sight of Chersha’s appearance for the first time, focused on drying Chersha’s hair.

It was very different from what he expected.

I thought you must be shy, or shy.

When I think of a lover or a man I’m interested in, it’s because women of that age usually show that kind of reaction.

“To be honest, I didn’t even want to stop by the Mage Tower in the capital.”

“… Is that so?”

“It will be a forced march from now on, Plea. I will only head north without stopping anywhere else.”

Chersha’s expression when she said those words… It was so heavy and serious.

“Okay.”

To the extent that it’s hard to think of it as something like light romance… Seeing Chersha so serious, Plea couldn’t even think of saying something like a prank on her.
