her.”

 

[Yeah.] 

 

“Did you eat?”

 

[I already ate.
How about you?] 

 

“I’m eating deliciously too, and I’m waiting for tea.”

 

[Yeah, and— don’t worry about Count Maient.
Apparently, he’s going crazy because he was shocked by the Lord of the Wizard Tower; that arrogant guy must not be in his right mind because he was treated like that in front of so many people.] 

 

He clicked his tongue. 

 

[Tsk.
They said that his aide also eventually turned his back on him, so he would not be able to hold out for long and will end himself.
So, you can stretch out your legs and sleep comfortably.
You have nothing to worry about.]

 

As Serdel nodded, Cartal finally ended the communication with a warm smile.

 

The sense of silence fell again.

 

The heavy silence felt more frightening today.

Perhaps now Cartal feels the same as her, being crushed by the heavy air.

 

She buried her head in her arms on the desk.

 

‘Isn’t there any way to understand the condition of the forest even if we are far away?’

 

  

– Knock knock.
Hello, Young Lady. 

 

A low voice rang out.

 

Even though she raised her eyes, she couldn’t see anything, so she straightened her posture.

 

– I’m outside that door.
The procedure was too complicated to get formal permission to come, so I came without permission, but I still find it difficult to enter Lady’s room at will.
Knock knock, could you please excuse me?

 

Did he knock with his mouth? She couldn’t even laugh because she was dumbfounded.

 

“Come in.”

 

– Then excuse me. 

 

Serdel frowned at the Lord of Wizard tower that passed without opening the door.

 

His body was opaque, like a ghost.
That was why he had no choice but to knock by mouth. 

 

“What a terrific excuse.
What is it?”

 

– We haven’t seen each other since that day.
I was worried, but you didn’t call me.
Even if I want to ask with a voice in the wind, I want to ask after you face to face, but I think the Count will kick me out.
I had no choice but to come to the state of my soul.

 

“…Come to think of it, I’m too late to say it.
Thank you very much for that time.”

 

– I don’t like such formal greetings.

 

“Then what kind of greeting do you like?”

 

– Please buy me shoes.

 

The conversation seemed to go to the mountain, but it went on strangely well.

 

Looking down, Serdel looked at his feet.
He was wearing the shoes when he lent them to her. 

 

– Oh, it’s a pity to leave it in the Imperial Palace.
I bought a pair that was the only one left.
‘You have shoes, right?’ That’s not what you mean, are you? Buy me new shoes.
It is good to go out by carriage.
Ah, Young Lady.
Have you ever flown in the sky?

 

“I know how it feels to be in the air because someone  jumped with me in his arms.”

 

As she escaped from the slave market, Blenn held her in his arms and jumped swiftly from roof to roof.

 

Back then it felt like flying in the sky.

 

And when she and Falden were alone in the forest, there was a time when he jumped from a high tree while he was holding her. 

 

At the time, she felt like she was falling. 

 

– ….

 

The Lord of the Wizard Tower looked at Serdel with dissatisfied eyes. 

 

– Have you ever been spun around in the air?

“Is that a new kind of torture?”

 

– Well, I’m hurt. 

 

It’s just a conversation that doesn’t mean much, but at some point, the tension was released, and her mind calmed down a bit.

 

“I’ll buy you shoes soon.”

 

– Do you promise?

 

As soon as she nodded, he stepped up and pushed his face close.

 

It was so out of the blue that Serdel slightly backed up.

 

– Now, what makes you look like that?

 

“….”

 

– What kind of trouble do you have that you are so immersed in worry? Please tell me everything.
I’ll help you.

 

“…I can’t get in touch with my sister and brother.”

 

– Yes. 

 

“I can’t get in touch with other people too.
You know the Duke of Blendard, don’t you?

 

– Isn’t he the best knight in the empire?

 

“Yes, I can’t get in touch with him either.”

 

It must have been that something big had happened to the fact that even the strongest people couldn’t get her call. 

 

– You must be worried.

 

“So I’m looking for a way.”

 

– Hmm. 

 

With his chin raised, he went into thought.

 

The expression was so serious that she was grateful for some reason. 

 

Unlike when she was alone earlier, she didn’t feel uncomfortable or scared.

 

Serdel, who rolled her eyes, continued the line of thought that had been paused for a moment by the Lord of the Wizard Tower. 

 

She had put her own mark on the mine to make it easier to find when going into further development.

 

‘If I connect my mind to the power remaining on that mark, can I know the situation of the forest?’ 

 

But to do that, she had to be close to the forest, but this place was too far.

 

‘Will I be able to see the situation through this path—’

 

As she sighed, a good thought suddenly came to her mind.

 

Serdel raised her head.

 

– You have a good idea.
You can tell me anything.
I’ll be the Young Lady’s strength.
