4. Chersha Kalua – (11)
***
A luxurious inn located in the heart of the city of Glia.
“Asera Glade?”
Nodding.
At Chersha’s words, Plea blankly nodded her head.
“Live…”
Pleaa had been saying that she was living for herself, but she didn’t really feel it.
When I ran into her just a few hours ago, I was impressed with how carefully she treated herself.
‘A female knight with a cold appearance.’
To sum up her first impression, Chersha It was just that much of a feeling for her. According to rumors, she was well-liked, and she knew that she didn’t treat anyone carelessly, but she felt that Asherah was colder than she thought.
She had a strong feeling that it was difficult to get close.
But after hearing Plea’s words, I felt a bit strange now. That even though she faced herself so closely, she hid her own life.
Since she was a Chersha who was sensitive to the gaze of others, Ashera had more doubts about herself that she did not feel that life than Ashera.
Maybe… She’s been with Ed, and without realizing it, she’s been a little lax.
Chersha concluded that.
But then, Asherah, who hid her life right in front of her, did not guess her intentions.
‘Why?’
It must have been the first time we met each other. Why does Asherah harbor a desire to kill herself?
“It was really… A monster. It should be said that she is on a different level from the other knights she has encountered… That person named Ashera. Maybe she’s been hiding more of herself than she’s known.”
What she still thinks of, Plea’s hand trembling and speaking in fear was the first time even Chersha herself had seen it.
How much life does it take to make Pleaa look like that?
ㅡEd, let’s talk for a while.
Then, as if leading Ed, I remembered the image of him casually taking him away.
The person who helped Ed when he was having a hard time.
In that isolated environment, Ashera was even given the last name of Edgar Glead because of her breath.
The one who tied Edgar to the northern part of the family, so Glead.
Ed has recently decided to continue GLAD.
Ed expressing his rejection in the drawing room. From then on, he wondered if his thoughts had become hardened as if he had stopped thinking.
The more she thought about the things that popped into her head one by one, Chersha was able to realize one thing in a daze.
Thinking of it now, Ed’s words and actions. In the time he was with Ed, he was so sad and also infinitely happy, that huge flow of emotions. It seemed that he himself couldn’t even think properly, as if his chest was floating.
So now Chersha realized.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Chersha-nim…?”
Pleaa, who thought Chersha’s appearance was strange, called her cautiously.
“Only now… I think I understand what you mean, Pleia. Asherah, what is the reason why she wants to live for me?”
“Then uh, what is it? No, wouldn’t it be safe to get out of this city right away?”
Playa conveys my thoughts in a panicked and anxious voice.
Chersha, who continued to smile lightly at that figure, shook her head slightly.
Leaving the city right now was like saying don’t eat fish in front of a cat.
And even if he felt that murderous feeling, he shouldn’t have left Glia now.
Without going insane, Ashera Glade couldn’t openly swing her sword at herself.
As for the rumors and information I’ve come across, it’s Ashera Glade. She was a woman whose pride in her glade was higher than anyone else’s.
But she was the eldest daughter of the Kalua family, and she couldn’t imagine that she swung a sword at herself. Judging by the way she met, she seemed infinitely rational.
In a moment of emotion, she did not seem like a woman who would do such a thing.
She was a woman who was far away, then she embraced herself to live, but she hid everything in front of her.
‘Asera Glade.’
The more she thinks about it, the more she really is.
The reason why she harbors her life for herself. Guessed about it
She must have seen herself in Ed’s arms.
Nothing else, just that, that was enough reason.
“…Plea, you can’t leave this city of Glia for the time being. No, we cannot leave.”
So, as if declaring to Plea, Chersha conveys her thoughts.
She said that if she left the city as it was, she would give up on Ed.
I had no intention of doing that.
No, even if I told him to give up, I had no intention of giving up anymore.
Because I knew he was thinking about himself.
That your feelings right now are not just one-sided feelings.
She said that she was thinking of him just as she had been thinking of him for eight years.
Just that was enough.
I didn’t care about other environments or elements.
No, he didn’t want to bother.
“Chersha…”
Despite Pleaa’s appearance of worrying as she called out to her, Chersha just smiled as she recalled a family.
‘… Then, that means she hasn’t laid a hand on Ed yet.’
He was the one who put a huge enemy right in front of anyone else.
While dealing with such a woman, she said stupidly to herself, and she meekly moved away.
I thought over and over again that it was really easy to be complacent.
Eight years later, Ed was a man with more charm than I remember.
Just by looking at his appearance, he couldn’t think of anyone better than him among the men he had faced. In addition, he was still the same from his soft personality to the way he treated himself.
There was nothing about him that he did not find attractive. In fact, he didn’t know that maybe he thought that because he was so into him.
However, it was clear that he still had the charm that attracted people.
When he said that he had endured a hellish life in Glaad, he might have been ruling out the possibility that he had another woman.
Everything Ed had told him. He could understand it even if he came back now and thought about it a little bit.
Asera Glade. She clearly has an interest in Ed.
No, it would be right to see that there are bigger emotions than simply dismissing it as interest.
And it gave me goosebumps how… How old the feeling was.
Even if it can’t be done, it’s a job that’s been done every few years.
Even now I couldn’t imagine how deep my feelings for Ed were.
Asera Glade, whom I met for a while, her appearance and personality in itself had a look and elegance that would instantly attract a decent man.
Has he not expressed feelings for Ed yet?
Even though we don’t know the exact circumstances of her, Eddo Acera Glade, remembering that she said many things about her, it wasn’t strange that even he had any feelings for her.
No, now that I think about it, Edgar was Ashera Glade. It was strange that she wasn’t bewitched by her.
And yet…
Even so, Ed spent those days thinking of himself.
“…Ed.”
Involuntarily, I felt as if my heart was heating up as I called him. In my mind, I just wanted to get him out of the mansion right away.
Pleaa was looking at Chersha, who seemed lost in her thoughts, with her eyes filled with her worries.
‘I can’t protect Chersha-sama on my own.’
The life he felt was sincere. A female knight who has reached an extremely high level.
She couldn’t help but realize that even if she met her, she wouldn’t even buy her time, the moment she met her eyes.
Until she joined the Kalua family, she was Pleaa who realized how dangerous people were, but she couldn’t help but feel uneasy when Chersha didn’t back down even when she was told of the danger.
……
The night continued to deepen while the girls thought differently.
***
An inn that is a bit far from the Gleaard Mansion.
They continued to follow Chersha as her dark escort. There were those who had complicated minds with different thoughts.
It was late at night, and the darkness fell thickly, and the lanterns illuminating the inside illuminated them in a small way.
Bulante, the captain of the escort, was gathering his thoughts with a calm expression.
Excluding herself, there is only one Jane.
There was only one person.
A person who felt that deep sense of life.
Tours and Kalen standing guard around the inn where Chersha is staying right now, as well as Stalin, who should be sleeping in another room by now.
They said they didn’t feel alive.
Feeling alive is, in fact, a small difference if it is small, and a big difference if it is large, regardless of the individual’s level.
Toor and Kalen were battle mages with as much destructive power as Jane and himself when they were together.
As for Stalin, he was obviously a genius whose skills even he could admit.
But they didn’t feel alive.
Obviously, he waited in a place a little far from the Glead Mansion, but it was a murder aimed at Chersha-sama, not anyone else.
It was not a matter so light that it became a problem in itself.
“Have the Glaad family and the Kalua family had any ties before?”
Jane gazed indifferently at Bullante, who continued to think, then opened her mouth.
“No, as far as I know, none. Not even a single exchange has ever been properly done.”
Awakening from contemplation, Bullante shook her head slightly.
“Then… that makes it even harder to understand.”
“Is there anything unusual about the information we know about Jane and Ed Gleard?”
“A knight who has reached the highest level. Simply put, that’s about it. So far, I haven’t had much information, but recently. Tolisch Birbalze said he had won an open match against him. Rumors spread in secret.”
“Tolisch Birbalce in the capital. Is he here?”
“I heard that the Birwalze family is pursuing an arranged marriage with the Glaad family. I heard that the reaction of the person in charge, Ashera Glade, is weak, and the progress is going through difficulties.”
“It’s complicated. Really.”
While admiring Jane for collecting so much information in such a short amount of time, Bullante was distraught.
She ordered Chersha’s safety to be the top priority, and at the same time she said to find out if she approached a person.
A person that the head of the Kalua family, Gria Kalua, warned you to be extra careful with.
‘Ed Gleaard.’
I heard that she has a relationship with Chersha.
As far as she knew, that was simply the end.
“First of all, Jane, you and I will take turns standing guard against Chersha.”
“…I understand.”
As Jane reluctantly answered, Vulteran tapped her on the shoulder.
No matter how much I thought about it, there were only two people, myself and Jane, who felt alive. There was an uneasy aspect of entrusting Chersha-sama’s vigilance to those who did not even feel alive.
Bollante, who was packing her own equipment, looked out of her window at the blue mansion on the hill.
A great mountain that protects the North, and one of the first knight families to protect the Chaldean Empire.
Glead.
‘Eisen Glade. I heard he was quietly in the North, and he was raising a monster.’
A female knight with blue hair who could be seen from afar.
Asera Glade.
Even though there was a distance, the murder that he felt even for a moment was definitely the kind of thing that made even him cold.
