Chapter 118 (1/2)

In the dark night.

Reina was looking at the night sky from the terrace of the manor, which was located in the Lamer city.

‘Could Sir Luke be doing well?’

Reina looked at the northern fortress of the city with her heart full of worry and longing.

For a while, she had no time to dwell on herself or others.

But with Kirillov’s strong growth and the Lamer city running smoothly, she began to feel nostalgic.

At least she didn’t feel it during the work hours, but once she was alone in the night, she began to feel lonely.

Luke wrote letters to her every week.

The letters contained a lot of information about the Chambers of Commerce and Lamer, but they did share a few private stories too.

The matter about the Rakan knight’s exclusive skills being taught to the knights in the fortress, trying to control a Gigant by listening to Philip’s constant nagging, and the new demon slave he got, etc.

But there was one statement in the letter that stood out in the eyes of Reina.

‘… I miss you.’

Every time she saw that sentence, Reina could feel her heart racing.

She never said those words, but every time she saw the sentence in the letters from Luke, Reina thought that Luke was having a hard time there.

Reina was having a hard time as well. She missed Luke so bad.

‘However, Sir Luke’s style of writing is very similar to that of Saymon.’

Due to the constant exchange of letters, there were a few styles that Luke used which were there in the diary of Saymon that Reina had read in the past.

It was the old-fashioned expressions and emotional passages.

‘Maybe it was because of the influence of Saymon’s diary from his childhood days?’

Reina believed that.

Seeing inspiring literary works and writing letters accordingly in that style either arbitrary or unconsciously…

Saymon’s diary was filled with words longing for his lover and intense feelings against his enemies.

It was those moments in Saymon’s diary where she was most filled with emotions.

“Kuk! What are you?!”

“…!”

Reina heard the words from Victor and the other escort knights arguing with someone.

While Reina was feeling scared and tried to move her body to escape, the door opened wide with masked men in leather clothing entering her room.

“You people are…!”

Reina’s complexion went pale after seeing the ones who entered.

She had seen them before.

They were the dark elves of the Volga Republic who tried to kidnap her the last time.

“You don’t have to be scared of us. We didn’t come here to harm you.”

A middle-aged male elf with pure white hair appeared behind them and spoke with a gentle voice.

Maybe his status among the elves was high since the dark elves showed him respect by moving aside and bowing to him.

“First of all, I have to apologize. I apologize for our unauthorized visit at this time of the night because of the urgent circumstances we have faced,” said the elf with white hair.

As the elf spoke and bowed to her, Reina spoke as well while trying to quell her fear,

“Who might you be sir?”

“I am an old man called Erenes.”

‘Erenes!’ Thought Reina.

Reina was shocked when she heard the elf’s name.

She never met him before, but she heard her father and his retainers speak of him.

He was referred to as a High Elf, not only for the elves, but he was also hailed as a prophet by the fairies too.

He himself had come all the way here to find her.

“Are you really Sir Erenes? Why would you be here just for me?”
