Chapter 106
Three months have passed since it all ended.
The winter that seemed like it would last forever has already passed, and spring, when all things awaken, has arrived in the North. Celine walked slowly through a field full of wildflowers, feeling the gentle spring breeze. The pleasant warmth enveloped her even without her using any special magic.
“Lute Celine!”
Came Danny’s voice.
As she turned, Danny, the escort maid’s slightly flushed face, caught her eye.
“I knew you would be here.”
“Then, you knew it wasn’t dangerous, so why did you follow me?”
She only lightly joked, but Danny answered with a very serious face.
“How can I be relieved? Now, Lute can’t be brought back to life.”
“Instead, I’m much stronger than before.”
“….”
Danny couldn’t bear to answer and just rolled her eyes.
“You don’t have to catch me every time I fall.”
However, Celine’s sincere tone only agitated her further.
“Lute Celine, even if you are not cursed, your body is weak. Please be more aware!”
“Well, as long as I don’t die, that’s fine. Danny just worries too much.”
Danny sighed. She still couldn’t believe that Lute Celine could tell a joke like that.
Three months ago, Lord Leonhard and Lute Celine suddenly appeared at Bernoulli Castle without any notice. He then declared that Lute Celine’s curse had been completely lifted, and everything returned to its peaceful daily life.
At least, that was how she felt.
The Lord and Lute Celine’s daily routine consisted of hunting monsters, training, and resting, and nothing strange happened. Even the imperial family, which had been harassing the Grand Duchy in recent years, did no sabotage.
Danny hoped that this routine would not be broken, though she couldn’t help but feel angry that Lute Celine’s overconfidence might lead to an accident.
“You probably didn’t come here just because you were worried about me. What’s going on?”
“….”
Danny couldn’t bear to answer that it was right, so she looked awkward for a moment. Seeing that face, Celine burst into laughter.
“I’m the second safest of all people in the North after Leonhard, Danny!”
“… That’s something you don’t know.”
“I think Danny is right.”
Suddenly, a serious voice resounded.
Celine wasn’t surprised. Leonhard, with his neat appearance, was looking at her with eyes filled with the warm sunlight.
“Were you following me?”
“I don’t.”
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
“I came looking for you.”
He added in a hushed voice.
“Because I want to see you.”
Danny tactfully moved out of the way.
At Bernoulli Castle, the only beings who did not notice the airflow between the two were dogs and cats.
Celine naturally leaned on Leonhard’s shoulder and gazed out at the field. She never got tired of it, no matter how many times she saw it.
“You like this place that much?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
Leonhard looked puzzled.
While the field full of bright yellow wildflowers was beautiful, it was not something particularly unique.
“It reminded me of… the place I used to live.”
From that day on, Celine did not bother to hide the fact that she missed her hometown.
These yellow wildflowers closely resemble rape flowers. Thanks to this, when she stood here, the riverside road turning yellow with rape flowers came to mind.
From the beginning, she did not properly accept her longing feelings. Rather, every time she thought about her hometown, she was overcome with guilt for abandoning Leonhard and thinking about going back. She escaped the vicious cycle entirely, thanks to Leonhard.
As soon as she returned to Bernoulli Castle, he noticed that she had become extremely depressed and persistently dug into what was wrong. In the end, Celine had no choice but to reveal everything to him. She said she misses her hometown, though she felt sorry for abandoning him every time she missed it…
Leonhard asked in his characteristic cool tone.
— Why would you be abandoning me?
— When I go back, Leonhard…!
— Are you going back?
— No.
— Well then, you have nothing to be sorry about.
As he finished saying those words, he hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear.
— It’s actually me who feels sorry because I can’t help you even though you’re having a hard time…
“Celine?”
Leonhard’s voice pulled her out of her past.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes.”
Celine held his hand and looked up at him.
“Are you really here because you wanted to see me?”
“…Is it strange?”
“No.”
She smiled shyly.
“I also happened to want to see Leonhard.”
They prepared to return to Bernoulli castle only after the sun had set.
Celine naturally climbed onto the horse she had ridden.
At the sight, Leonhard frowned. He had followed Danny from the castle, so it was obvious that Celine had come here alone on a horse.
“Can’t you just keep Danny by your side as long as you ride your horse?”
“Leonhard, I won’t die that easily!”
“Still…”
He could not bring himself to tell Celine that she did not seem to have any horse-riding talent.
She usually rode the horse with ease, but when an unexpected situation occurred, she preferred to fall off her horse rather than control it. Of course, since she was a wizard, not she wasn’t hurt at all, but his insides were burning as he looked at her.
However, the sight of Celine running into the sunset with her blonde hair flowing made Leonhard’s mouth fall silent.
“Lord!”
Leonhard jumped off his horse and ran into the servant who came running towards him, out of breath.
“What’s going on?”
“A, a guest has arrived.”
“My guest?”
“Yes!”
The servant nodded his head with all his might.
“Who is it?”
“Well, I don’t know. The face was covered with a hood…”
Leonhard frowned. Wouldn’t it look more like an intruder than an honored guest?
“They didn’t reveal their identity, so how did you know it was my guest?”
“Well, that… They brought with them the mark of the Sharpe family.”
His eyes opened wide.
The mark of a family could only be possessed by the head of the family or the heir. Sharpe Family probably didn’t have an official successor yet, so there was only one candidate.
“Guide me right away.”
They walked quickly, following the half-running servant. A moment later, Leonhard’s displeased voice echoed through the hallway.
“…Please walk a little slower. Even if you wait a little longer, Count Sharpe won’t die.”
Celine paused for a moment, catching her breath.
Three months ago, after that day. Perhaps due to the collapse of the game, the ‘Hermes’ shoes’ returned to being ordinary shoes. While Celine was quite disappointed, Leonhard was happy, saying he wanted her to wear clean shoes. Nonetheless, she couldn’t help but miss the ‘Hermes’ shoes’ every time she was out of breath.
“Is, is it the Count?”
Fortunately, the attendant was so shocked that he stood still as if frozen.
“Yes, so don’t just stand there and guide me properly. Slowly.”
They moved in time with Celine’s steps. Finally, the servant stopped in one of over five parlors in Leonhard’s Tower.
The door opened slowly.
A familiar woman stood up and lightly bent her knees towards them.
“Lord Leonhard, Lute. How have you been?”
“I feel like it couldn’t get any better than this. How has the Count been doing…”
Leonhard responded lightly but failed to completely hide his worries.
County Sharpe was one of the representative families of the South. The fact that she came all the way here without a proper entourage must mean that there were big things to worry about. Maybe it was a bigger problem than last time.
The Count smiled.
“You don’t have to worry so much. I didn’t come here to ask for help this time.”
“Then…?”
“I have come to make a proposition, Lord.”
Leonhard stared at Count Sharpe for a moment. Her eyes and equally noble eyes clashed with each other.
“This is not a story to be told standing up. Isn’t that right?”
“You’re right.”
Count Sharpe nodded her head.
They sat at the antique table and looked at each other. Leonhard ordered cold drinks and sweet refreshments to be served, and the servant immediately brought the food. Celine sipped the cool tea and listened intently to Count Sharpe.
“Thanks to the mine that was opened at the time, most of the damage was restored. Of course, the dead people don’t come back…”
Saying so, Sharpe stiffened her body for a moment as if it was painful to even think about it.
“But thanks to this, the remaining people were able to lead their own lives. Thank you.”
“… I’m glad it wasn’t too late.”
Leonhard looked a bit embarrassed.
“You’re still the same, in that respect.”
Count Sharpe laughed slightly.
“The reason I came here is because an uninvited guest came to live in our mine.”
“…A warlock?”
Celine suddenly interrupted. Her voice was tense.
Since that day, they have not received a single report about the warlock. Still, there were definitely warlocks alive and breathing somewhere, still targeting Leonhard.
“It’s not.”
Count Sharpe shook her head. Fortunately, her expression was bright.
“It’s a dragon.”
“A… dragon?”
Celine’s mouth opened blankly.
Leonhard’s reaction was not that different, as he also looked dumbfounded.
“Yes.”
The Count nodded her head.
“Of course, dragons are precious creatures and bring good luck… This time, we have no choice but to call it an uninvited guest. It is eating up all the magic stones.”
“If it’s a baby dragon, wouldn’t the problem be solved if you imprint it with a wizard?”
Count Sharpe looked troubled.
“Well, it’s a pretty big dragon. The wizard in my family said it was the biggest dragon they’d ever seen.”
“How…”
“At least enough to surpass a person’s size? I haven’t been able to check it myself. The vassals are against it.”
Her words were filled with regret.
After all, she was a Southerner, too. She wanted to see the sacred dragon with her own eyes.
“Actually, if we can afford it, it wouldn’t be a problem to give up a mine.”
“Though you don’t have much time to spare.”
Leonhard answered briefly.
The Sharpe family would only be able to regain its former wealth by mobilizing all of its new and existing mines. It was natural that she was not at all pleased with the dragon that came unexpectedly. Moreover, what the dragon ate was expensive magic stones.
“Yes.”
Count Sharpe nodded.
“Of course, we didn’t just let it go. First, we had to find out what type of dragon it was.”
She paused for a moment.
“After checking with our family’s wizard, they said they can feel the magic of the two of you.”
“….!”
