She looked at the Piece of the Sea in her hand. Was this her reward for last night? Had she done a good job? Had he enjoyed it?
Not this
She would rather him give her a cup of water or sothing when she woke up.
Sohow him not being next to her was upsetting, so Erna got out of bed and headed to his room. After setting the crystals in a drawer and taking a shower, she discovered Orp in the room.
Youre awake, madam?
Y-yeah.
Her head was still hazy even after showering. On top of that, she could barely move her shoulders and neck, like sothing was clamping them down. When Erna turned her shoulders with a grim look, Orp, who had been watching her for a while, went out to bring a al; a long ti later, she dragged in a cart containing several trays.
Wait, how much did you Oh, you dont look too good, so I think you should eat. This should be enough. Orp sohow seed to be enjoying this mont.
Do you like how I am in pain?
How could I? I brought this food because I was worried.
Erna looked down at the food Orp was putting out in front of her. Having worked under Erna for such a long ti, she was clearly aware of what Erna liked: freshly washed and delicious fruits, thick yogurt with honey and nuts sprinkled on top, and crunchy vegetables. The freshly baked bread next to it slled savory.
Erna, who was usually reluctant to eat a lot, realized how full of food the table was. But she took just one bite of bread before placing it back down, and after taking a sip of juice her hands didnt move.
Madam Erna? Whats wrong?
When she did not want to eat anymore and stared quietly at the table, Orp approached her with a worried look.
For so reason, I dont feel like eating.
At her words, Orp turned around and stared in the direction of Kalions room.
Actually, she had figured it out from the mont she saw Erna. That the two must have had an amazing night together. Erna, who had always been energetic, was staggering to the point where her hands were shaking. The reason Orp hadnt run to Kalion and grabbed him by the collar was that Erna didnt hate him that much rather.
She looked exhausted, but lately, her face had gotten smoother. At the least, Kalion would never force her to do sothing. Still, they had to do it moderately!
As Orp was looking past the wall, Erna asked with a strange look on her face, Orp? Whats wrong?
Oh, its n-nothing.
Orp, hastily diverting her gaze from Kalions room, slid a cup of tea to Erna as she started to report what had happened last night.
Marquis Canavan is still swollen badly and delegates want to send a letter to Haband as soon as possible. I think the remaining knights are planning to visit the border area to escort them.
Remaining knights?
Oh, and Lord Kalion went out this morning to vanquish so demons. It ans the remaining knights who didnt join him.
At Orps words, Erna now realized why Kalion was gone when she woke up.
Where this ti? And how many demons? Which type?
Oh Hold on one second!
Normally when Kalion went out to hunt for demons, Erna only nodded with an all right and didnt ask furthermore. But when she suddenly asked back, Orp scurried over to the desk to check the reports that had co in this morning. At the sa ti, Erna was restless, waiting for her reply.
There was nothing particularly new about Kalions going out to hunt demons. Wasnt it sothing he had to do as the grand duke? But why was Erna unusually curious about it this ti?
The number is low, and its the flying type. Those are feisty ones.
And the location?
The location Oh, I see Its a place called Ilgees Forest.
Ilgees Forest. Erna right away could rember where it was. It was because of Ilgees Forest that Kalion and Erna had had an earnest conversation for the first ti when they had that awkward mont in the bedroom before.
It was chaotic at first, so he had quickly told her to sit down, and the next day, the two had a serious talk in front of the map of Ilgees Forest and its surroundings. Then, she had found out that Kalion answered quite in detail and steadilymore than she had expected.
She thought deeply with her chin cupped in her hand. If he went out to hunt demons, he would return in a few days. If so, then she could rest at night. However
She then thought about the chilly feeling of being alone when she woke up in the morning; the quietness when she called his na. She asked Orp, Flying demons must be dangerous, right?
Of course. But Lord Kalion would have no prob
No, I think it will be dangerous for him.
Pardon?
On top of that, our wizards dont really have any experience fighting flying demons. Even so, I thought they needed to practice at least once, but now the demons have appeared. So, I think it will be good for them to go out and help him What do you think?
Orp had no choice but to nod at the question that already seed to have a fixed answer.
