Reunion First Part

Chapter 4

“Suria, can I have a bit of your time?”

“What is it? Chichi-sama.” (TL: Dear Father)

I tilted my head to father who suddenly appeared while I was sorting doc.u.ments in the library. My hair fell down on my shoulder which I tied up like a bun while working.

Father who was wearing a formal coat with eye gla.s.s came to me with with a smile then started grinning wide while talking. He is emitting an energetic aura with seemingly blooming flowers around him, he is a respectable father which the feudal lord trusted and was reffered as an “abled person“.

….. And from time to time, sometimes an idiotic parent.

“Master called out for Suria. I’ll sort out the doc.u.ments for you, and head to the office immediately.”

“Master ?”

Speaking of the main mansion’s master, he is the feudal lord that manages this territory in the kingdom of Allevel which prides on it’s excellent crop productions and security level, Lord Georg Allevel.

“Yes. There is some good news for Suria. Ahhh, as expected of my daughter. What a wondrous thing.”

“U, Ummm…?”

“You can ask the master for the details.”

I wonder why I am getting pushed out of the library without being told of the details while father is full of smiles.

I fixed my disheveled hair before heading to the feudal lord’s office.

I, Suria Varette has turned 18 years old, took an apprentices.h.i.+p on the feudal lord’s mansion. I helped my dear father during his retainer’s duties, sometimes I help on the maid’s daily tasks, it’s always busy but I spend my days in fulfilment.

………..I maybe on this age but I don’t have anyone whom I can call a lover.

Since I cut off my relations.h.i.+p with “that person“, their is no such lingering feelings of wanting to find a man as handsome as that person. There is not even a “fe” from the word feelings. I won’t even care if he called out to me “Suu, I’m dying! I’m dying!”

Even though I don’t have someone whom I call a lover, there are some people who I consider as good friends and called me out from time to time.

“Hey Suu. Are you going to the “feudal lord” right now? Can I also go with you and listen to the talk?”

“Well, the master might be glad to have you come listen to the discussions with him.”

“Eh?”

I was walking on the corridor.

Around the empty corridor, a distortion on the air happened and what appeared was a water spirit called “Uor“, a friend of mine.

It is floating in the air, he had an appearance of a fox, with long pointed ears and pale blue fluffly fur. Tails that looked like a broom with a transparent like water appearance, and when you pet its fur, instead of “fush~” like sound, it sounded like dripping water “plok“.

Almost every part of his body is composed of water, and had the ability manifest and control water.

———— “Spirits” are existence that can control nature.

An those people who can call upon spirits are referred to as “spirit users“.

Spirit users are people who have “spiritual mana” since birth, and by exercising that power, one can call upon a spirit and control its power.

I live on a small country being surrounded by mountains called “Naft Kingdom” where spirits have lived for over generations, and it is believed that the guardian of the land that the spirits revered gave the blessings to this country that in fact it became abundant on natural resources.

And the spiritual mana that a spirit user can muster depends on it’s relations.h.i.+ps with the spirits.
