Chapter 65: Nicknames For The Two (1/2)

”They could be, but I don't want to jump to conclusions.”

Lawrend replied to her. Jumping to conclusions right now would only lead to disappointment when they find out in the future that their conclusions aren't correct.

”I understand.”

Aleshia nodded her head and embraced Ella on the bed. She was feeling complex right now. If that really were her parents, why would they abandon them?

Just as Aleshia was getting lost in her thoughts, she felt a pat on her shoulder. She turned her head to see Lawrend sit beside her on the bed.

”Aleshia, don't think too much. We'll find out about it sooner. The symbol on Ella's forehead is our first clue.”

Lawrend rubbed her shoulder to ease her.

”Yes, Young Master.”

Aleshia looked at him and nodded her head solemnly. She threw her thoughts to the back of her mind. Lawrend was right, it would be no use to think too much when they still didn't know the truth.

”Let's leave them.”

Lawrend gave her a curt nod and stood up. He then motioned for Albert and Olgar to leave the room with him.

”Lawrend, I'll give you a week before we head out.”

Olgar faced Lawrend and said to him after they left the room. He was supposed to fly them to the Capital City of the Undrasil Kingdom, but since a problem like this cropped up, he decided to give them more time.

”Thank you.”

Lawrend nodded his head. He was glad that they didn't have to rush when Ella's condition was still unknown.

”Young Master, should I call a Healer?”

Albert asked Lawrend.

”No other healer in this city can help us. We should just wait and trust Ella.”

Lawrend shook his head. He doesn't believe that a healer below an Arch Mage Healer can help them. After all, the vial was from an Arch Mage Healer, and there shouldn't be another Arch Mage Healer in the city right now.

”Okay, Young Master.”

Albert responded to Lawrend.

”Give Mr. Olgar our best guest room. He is a High Mage sent by the Mage Guild.”

Lawrend ordered Albert.

”A H-High Mage!!?”

Albert exclaimed in shock. A High Mage is someone respected in any city. Lawrend's father could only hire one High Mage when he left, and here was Lawrend, with a High Mage in tow.

”Y-Young Master, you didn't splurge the Master's money, right!??”

Albert panicked. If Lawrend truly spent his father's money to hire a High Mage, the Master will be angered! Who knows what will happen to Lawrend?

”No way! Like I told you, he was sent by the Mage Guild. Are you even listening?”

Lawrend immediately denied Albert's words. He was already avoiding spending his father's money. There was no way he would spend more.

”My apologies. It was so shocking to hear that a High Mage is in front of me that I didn't pay attention to the Young Master's words.”

Albert regained his bearings and bowed to Lawrend in apology. It was unprofessional of him to act like that.

”Mm. Just lead him to his room. While you're at it, call the other butlers to a meeting.”

Lawrend said to Albert.

”Yes, Young Master. Mr. Olgar, please follow me.”

Albert responded to Lawrend before motioning for Olgar to follow him.

Olgar nodded his head silently and followed Albert to the hallway.

As for Lawrend, he opened the door and entered Ella's room again.

”Young Master?”

Aleshia tilted her head when she saw Lawrend enter. She thought that they were leaving.

”Aleshia, let's draw the symbol we saw earlier as soon as possible. Otherwise, we might forget its features.”

Lawrend said to her. He approached the desk and sat in front of it. Aleshia nodded her head and stood up before walking towards the desk.

”It was circular, right?”

Lawrend asked Aleshia in confirmation.
