3. Chersha Kalua & Ashera Glade (31)
***
Ashera’s office in Glaad Mansion.
“…”
Asera continues to look at a document. Her gaze seldom moved away from a piece of paper.
Eileen, who was waiting in one of her offices behind Ashera, wondered if the lady was struggling so much because she was a document with some kind of content, but she said yes and interrupted the lady’s thoughts. I didn’t want to.
So the time in the office passed slowly.
5 Minutes.
A little later, 10 minutes.
And after 30 minutes, Eileen couldn’t bear to continue her silence.
She didn’t have much to deal with because she had been intensively handling administrative work for several days, but she was spending over an hour on a single document.
It was the first time Ashera had seen even Eileen, who had been helping the young lady for years.
“…Lady Asherah.””
At Eileen’s cautious voice, Ashera took her eyes off her papers.
“If there is something that keeps bothering you, why don’t you change your mind for a while? Or you might find some clues when you talk to someone else.”
“Oh, yes.”
After hearing Eileen’s words, Ashera realized that she had been looking at her documents for a long time.
When I checked the time on the clock hanging on the wall of my office, more than an hour had already passed. I’ve spent about an hour just thinking about this one piece of paper.
She still couldn’t give a clear answer to this document herself.
At first glance, the document she was holding in her hand was something she didn’t have to think too much about.
She’s just announcing that she’s going to visit the Gleard family from a family.
That was the end.
Notifying a visit several days in advance. It was, in fact, basic etiquette between families that didn’t even need any words.
That’s why it was common for most of them to send the minimum amount of envoys when visiting each other’s families, or to inform them of the visit several days in advance.
In the document, it was written that he would visit Glead tomorrow.
It’s obviously against basic etiquette to tell you about the visit the day before…
Usually, it would have been enough to send out the vassals to greet the guests, and for a family with a great influence, such as the Marquis of Birbalche, it would be enough to respond appropriately.
However, the name of the family that was trying to find Glead was…A family that was so unexpected that it was difficult for Ashera to take her eyes off it.
ㅡThe Kalua family.
The lord of the magic tower in the eastern part of the Chaldean Empire. It was the family to which Gria Kahlua belonged, and it was one of the first families to count among the famous wizard families.
The name on the document stating that he was going to visit Glead was also not light at all.
‘Chersha Kalua.’
A genius among geniuses who is said to have marked a stroke in the history of the Chaldean Empire’s Mage Tower.
The youngest wizard in the history of the Mage Tower to reach the 5th rank.
Since she is in the Eastern Mage Tower, it is said that she rarely shows herself outside, so I knew that she was known to be hard to see.
According to the little known information, her appearance is as outstanding as her magic skills.
He has a calm personality and doesn’t even try to talk to people he doesn’t know.
That was all she knew about Chersha Kalua.
I thought it was in the eastern mage tower, but suddenly it was the northern city on the opposite side. And he informed me that he would visit Glead.
‘Obviously… I’ve never been to this city before.’
If the Kalua family had visited Glead in the past eight years, or at least had heard of the city of Glia, he could not have known it himself.
So, it was difficult to understand the meaning of the news of the sudden visit, as it is now.
A genius wizard who doesn’t even show his appearance to the outside, not even close, but a distance that would take weeks if not less than the round trip from the Eastern Mage Tower to here.
I didn’t even understand the phrase written on the document that it wasn’t to the extent that I was visiting Glead while I was in the north because of something else, but that I was visiting Gleard because I had someone to see.
And now, this document clearly stated the purpose of visiting Glead.
ㅡVisit Glaade to meet someone.
Even that person was someone he knew well.
From noble mtl dot com.
A woman named Chersha Kalua was trying to meet Ed… Him.
Obviously Ed, there is very little information known to the outside world about him.
Chersha Kalua, Plea.
Only two women visit.
No matter how many times he had already put those sentences in his eyes, there was nothing that resonated with him even though he continued to ponder over and over again.
Chersha It was the reason she was looking for him, and even the cause was hard to figure out no matter how much I thought about it.
‘Where is the point of contact…’
A woman who is even known as the next master of the Eastern Magic Tower.
Ed spent 8 years after coming to Gleaard as a child.
Even when I found out about him in the past, he clearly knew about him, so there was no variable.
Alkeara is an orphan who lived in an orphanage and has no parents or other family.
Chersha, who had the lord of the magic tower of the Eastern Magic Tower as her family, had contact with him when she was in the nursery school… She couldn’t possibly relate to her what she thought.
But. Something kept bothering me.
Ed She pointed out his name and said that she wanted to meet him. How come the news of this visit itself… Asherah Her She made me feel like I was constantly missing something I didn’t know.
“Eileen… You know.”
“Tell me.”
Eileen silently accepted Ashera’s lingering moments after she called her, and waited for her next words.
“Do you know… Anything about the Kalua family?”
“The Kalua… Do you mean the Kalua family in the eastern region?”
Eileen knew that it would be rude to answer her master’s question with a question, but Eileen had no choice but to ask Ashera.
What she didn’t expect at all was that Eileen was the same, so she wondered if there was another Kalua family she didn’t know about.
“Right. The Kalua family to which Gria Kalua, the lord of the Eastern Magic Tower, belongs.”
“Even if I know something about the Kalua family… I’m sure the young lady knows everything about it.”
“No, because what you know is strange.”
As if not expecting much from Eileen’s answer, Ashera only nodded her head slightly, but she did not ask further or question Eileen.
In the first place, this place was Glia, a city on the front line of the North.
The East, which is located on the far side of here, was strange to be if you knew the details of the family there.
Still, I was able to pinpoint the main point during a long time of thinking.
A woman named Chersha mentions Ed by name and wants to meet him.
The answer did not come out when considering conditions such as region, place of birth, and the past.
That’s because it felt like it didn’t make sense that all the conditions had a point of contact between them.
Just looking at the simple facts, one conclusion came out.
No matter how you look at it, there is a point of contact between Ed and Chersha that he doesn’t know about… It was reasonable to think that way.
Then…
“Does Ed know?”
And in the end, Ashera instinctively put the closest thing to the answer.
The wizard of the Kalua family informed me of the visit in advance.
In order to entertain a famous family like the Kalua family, they had to know at least the intention so there would be no mistake.
“…It’s really difficult.”
Ashera, who muttered as if grumbling, let out a deep sigh.
After Birbalche, he had recently noticed that the artist was losing his will to marry him by arrangement, so he wondered if his breath was gradually relieving, and then another incident occurred that distracted him like this.
It’s a daunting situation just to promote Ed’s succession ceremony for his Glaade right now. Suddenly, a famous wizard from the Eastern Mage Tower comes to visit.
Eileen carefully filled the teacup placed in Ashera’s office and looked at Ashera, who seemed to be struggling.
She did not dare to make fun of what the young lady was thinking, but seeing the young lady struggling like that made her feel sorry for herself.
“Eileen, is Ed out of the mansion right now?”
“Yes, Sir Ed is said to be out on business today, so he knows that he won’t be back until evening at the latest.”
Ed, who had to greet and respond to the wizard named Chersha, was necessary information for him as well. She eventually said she needed to tell Ed about this fact.
Just when he thought of bringing up the woman’s name, Chersha, from Ed, he felt something uneasy about her. There’s no reason or reason, but I have a strange feeling as if a thorn is constantly hanging in my heart.
There’s really no reason to feel that way…
“Eileen, please clean up the rest.”
In the end, after thinking for a while, Ashera decided to meet him.
Chersha Kalua.
I needed to find Ed out of her office, and have a talk with her about it for sure.
