Episode 203.2
(EP-203.2) Sumr #1
203 Cold Sumr #1
Airas hair sharply stuck out in all directions, akin to spider legs.
At the sa ti, my skin stung like pickled cider.
Such nacing aura
Even sothing as simple as anger could stir up mana to this extent. Was this what a Rank 7 Archmage was?
Seuk.
Aira extended her exposed leg from under her gown toward . Its aning was all too clear.
Theo Gospel, show your loyalty. And apologize for canceling my schedule without permission. Apologize for not listening to !
She was telling to kneel on all fours and kiss her foot like a dog a submissive beast.
It didnt really matter that much since itd always been like this back in Angmars court.
Aira-nim, prostrating before your presence is sothing I can do anyti, anywhere. However, when it cos to matters that might threaten Your Highnesss health
Tsk.
The sound of a slight tongue-click echoed loudly in the spacious room. Swiftly, the leg retreated back into the white gown.
You are crossing the line.
.
How dare an unknown half-fairy dare to stand on top of my head, the Queen of Angmar. You were just like them in the end.
.
Scram.
Aira-nim-.
Scram! I wont say it three tis. And never.
Aira looked like she was about to say sothing, but quickly decided to purse her lips.
Never.
There was a montary hesitation.
Aira seed to swallow back the rest of her words, but even without fairy ears, anyone could understand what she ant.
Then I shall take my leave.
Leaving Aira alone in the room, I had no choice but to walk out into the hallway.
Among the myriad of emotions swirling within , the most prominent feeling was emptiness.
It felt as if all the struggles and hard work Id done were all swept away by a single wave, like a castle made of sand.
Among all the ti and effort expended, it all seed aningless.
There you are, Sir Theo. How is it?
Mirna and Elga were waiting for outside with their arms crossed. As I stepped out, their faces brightened, asking various questions.
How is it? Is Aira awake? Is she hurt anywhere?
Shes awake now.
Well, thats a relief. But why do you look so grim?
Perhaps because the soundproofing was good, but it seed like the events in the room didnt reach the hallway.
I was unsure of what to say, so I hesitated on how to explain this. Anyway, they would soon find out the truth, so I might as well just tell them as it was.
I, got kicked out
* * *
Kicked out.
As I said it aloud, reality started to sink in.
Until now, it was just a conversation between and Aira. But now, it would spread as an incident.
In the quiet campus cafe on a late afternoon as the sun was setting,
Elga and Mirna didnt believe .
That Aira had dismissed . It seed shocking and impossible for them to believe such.
Hey, you must be mistaken or sothing. Did Aira really kick you out? She probably just wants so space and cool off a little-. Isnt it like that?
In response to Elgas question, I recalled my final monts with Aira. As much as I wanted to think otherwise, there was simply no mistaking it.
Beside her, Mirna, hiding her face with her fan, let out a small sigh.
Wasnt it already a well-known story that Queen Tarantera is such a person? Swallow when sweet, spit when bitter. A foolish tyrant who kicks out loyalists as she pleases.
Hey, Mirna. Theo was just kicked out. Why do you look so happy?
Am I? Thats just what youre thinking. Sir Theo got kicked out by that capricious Queen. Now hes left with nowhere to go. Why would I have any reason to be pleased?
Mirna chuckled behind her fan, her deanor reminiscent of a villainess from so story. It was oddly fitting, more than I had expected.
Jirit-.
After giving Mirna a thorough glance, Elga put her hand on my shoulder.
Hey, anyway. Well, you know, Airas fickleness isnt sothing new. Shes probably just overwheld right now and doesnt even know what shes saying.
Do you think so?
Yeah. Its just between us, but honestly, Aira Shes so pampered, she cant even put on stockings properly by herself.
.
Aira cant even eat alone in the student cafeteria, what can she do without you? Shell probably look for you soon enough. A week, no, three days will be enough!
Elgas words made sense. Aira was a fickle person, so she might call back soon. However, Mirna interjected from the side.
If she calls you back like that, are you going to obediently follow? Sir Theo, dont you have your own pride and dignity?
Hey, Mirna. Are you trying to drive a wedge between Theo and Aira right now?
I just stated the facts. Besides, it was bound to happen soday. Being cast aside by whim, being called back by whim. Its not easy to endure under such a Queen for years.
Thats true, but its oddly annoying when you say it. Ah, I dont know anymore.
Elga finally gave up, leaning back in her chair with both hands on the back of her head. Seeing how her rival Lady Lioness got silenced, Mirna, now more pleased, added.
So, Sir Theo. What are you going to do next?
.
I never thought about it.
My mind was truly blank, as if all the plans and paths I had built up until now had disappeared overnight. And indeed, they had.
If you have nowhere else to go, how about coming to our villa?
Hey, even if he has nowhere to go, why would Theo go to your villa?
There are three very good reasons.
Chuck-.
With those words, Mirna proceeded to raise three fingers.
