Episode 50.11
After a mont of repose to savor the after al period, Ashidgrein straightened himself on his chair and spoke up.
"Lecan. You have my gratitude once again. I have never had food this good in my life before. It's as if I have been reborn anew. And I had no idea Petitifire Dragon's at was of such delicacy. They do spawn in Dungeon Yufu as well, I will make sure to have so of their at from the dungeon next ti."
Naturally dragon's at is good. But this satisfaction Ashidgrein experienced is sothing that could never be relived again. Ashidgrein himself must be fully aware of that. Him praising the food was a way to express his gratitude to Lecan.
"Now then, allow to ask you once again. How did you get in here. And to what end."
"Read this first before I get to it."
Still on his chair, Lecan produced a rolled up letter from his .
The House Aide Peine received that on a silver platter and brought it to Ashidgrein.
Ashidgrein's eyes opened wide when he saw the seal embedded on the letter.
He carefully opened the letter with a paper knife Peine offered, untied and unrolled it before reading it intently. Once he was done, he tied and rolled it back and put the letter on the silver platter Peine submitted.
Then Ashidgrein stood up. Urged by his eyes, Lady Rubianafale also stood up. Two pages pulled their chairs from behind.
Ashidgrein bowed deeply. Lady Rubianafale followed.
"Lecan-dono. My most sincere apologies for my previous show of impoliteness. I beg your forgiveness."
"I didn't step in this tower to demand apology. I should be the one asking that for intruding."
"All of you here, listen well. Otherworld noble, Lecan-dono is soon to be wed to the cousin of the family head of Wazrof Household as well as a lady known as . Lecan-dono has also been invited to the Royal Palace for his achievents of conquering Dungeon Tsubolt and Dungeon Palcimo, where His Majesty conferred him the Green Silver dal. Lecan-dono is a relative and representative of Wazrof Family Head as well as an adventurer who has been recognized by His Majesty. Show your respect."
Everybody in the room besides Lecan bowed. Having no choice, Lecan also stood up, saluted back and then sat back. Everyone besides Ashidgrein sat back.
"I owe Lady Rubianafale a great deal for her help when I first ca to this world. Around the 25th or 26th last month, I ca across Ezak, a knight of Zaidmahl Household."
"Oh my, Ezak."
"Ezak told . That there was sothing amiss at Yufu. Thus I ca here to check on Lady Rubianafale and found out she was besieged at the Northern Tower. So I paid this place a visit to offer my assistance. Lady Rubianafale, is there anything I can do."
"Lecan. Thank you very much. I do have a request to ask of you. But before I do, please tell one thing. Has the jewel hanging on your neck now been of use to you at all?"
"It has. I didn't realize at first, but this holds so extraordinary Graces. This jewel was the reason I managed to survive in several occasions. This jewel was the stepping stone toward an even greater height of power for . It's an indispensable item for my adventure now."
"Is that true. Thank goodness... Thank goodness."
A single teardrop fell down Lady Rubianafale's closed eye.
Lecan was shocked to see that.
(Why)
(Why are you crying?)
"I refer to the red jewel I obtained for you in exchange for that jewel, . Ever since the mont I had it on , my condition improved and my mana would quickly recover. With it, I made progress with my magic, awoken to and eventually reached the zenith. As such, I am only here because of you Lecan. Even Yufu's prosperity is interlinked to that. And yet, 'has the I gave you been of any use to you at all?' That doubt had always tucked away in my mind."
Lecan slowly digested her words.
(So this girl has been worrying all this ti.)
(Whether the jewel she gave was of value.)
(Glad I ca here.)
(Glad I could talk to Rubianafale.)
"I see that you call that jewel ."
"Yea. That's what it said on Appraisal."
"My mother told that jewel was . But that jewel was sothing that belonged to the hidden daughter of Zaka Founder King who supported the kingdom from the shadow. I believe the na is much more apt. Lecan."
Strong lights dwelt in Rubianafale's eyes as they looked straight at Lecan.
"Ever since the mont we were confined in this tower, I have never missed a day praying to Goddess Raikores-sama with in my grip. Imploring her to send adventurer Lecan to save us."
Lecan was deeply moved to the point of shaking. Lecan was the person Lady Rubianafale would rely on when she's in danger, not anyone else. And Lady Rubianafale likely truly believed that Lecan would co from the bottom of her heart.
"You are like an avatar of Argent Fla Wolf. I have but one request to you."
Lecan stood up while wondering what's this avatar business about and bowed toward Rubianafale. When a veteran warrior like Lecan gracefully made the gesture, the scene looked very picturesque.
"What is your wish, my princess (Ra Scherrer)."
"Please go into Dungeon Yufu and call Dungeon Knights back."
