Chapter 154 (1/2)

Chapter 154: Yggdrasil 1

Once Luke took the Kratos, he went back to the accommodation. He was visited by Erwin.

“What happened? You have been staying in your room all this time since the moment you stepped foot in the capital,” Luke said.

“…”

“It was said that the health of the High Elf Erenes is bad. Have you heard anything about it?” Asked Luke

Erwin was just silent in response to Luke’s questions.

Erenes was considered to be the Sage of all fairies. That was why he thought that Erwin was feeling bad after hearing those things.

But after some time, he found out that things were different between them.

“It doesn’t matter to you what happens to my teacher.”

“What? Erenes is your teacher?” Luke asked.

“You didn’t know? Ah, now that I think about, I never told you.”

Luke wasn’t able to hide his shock. An elven wizard who was persistently following him was the disciple of Erenes.

‘This is so tangled up…’

Luke looked up at Erwin and asked,

“Do you know that your teacher is in our estate?”

“I heard about it the last time through magic communication.”

“Then, aren’t you going to meet him?” Luke asked.

Of course, Erwin would have to go, but the answer she gave was unexpected.

“No, I will go later. I’ll have to leave.”

“Leave?”

At the sudden words from the elven woman, Luke’s eyes went wide.

“I have something I need to do all of a sudden,” she answered.

‘Why is this woman doing this?’

She stayed in her room the whole time while she was in the capital and suddenly wanted to leave? And she didn’t want to go and meet her teacher, who was sick?

It wasn’t like she didn’t know what was important.

“Can’t you let me know of the reason?”

“I don’t have to,” she responded.

“Well, you don’t have to.”

Perhaps Erenes and Reina met, so Erwin no longer needed the truth about the Earth’s tears.

With those thoughts, Luke sent her off.

Erwin looked over at Reina, who was beside Luke.

Reina nodded as she had already finished speaking with Erenes.

Erwin left the accommodation. Before disappearing into the darkness, she seemed rather sorry.

“I am sorry for not letting you know the truth. But I will do my best to protect that woman,” she mumbled to herself.

The day she arrived at the capital, she attempted a magic communication with her teacher, Erenes.

She came to know about him meeting Princess Reina, and that she was willing to cooperate in opening the door of the Spirit World.

Earth’s Tears, the key to the door of the Spirit World.

Using the tears was a huge problem for the one in possession of it.

In the worst-case scenario, one could lose their life.

After knowing that, she could never let Luke know of the truth.

If Luke found out, he was surely going to be against it to protect the woman he loves.

Erwin staying in her room after coming to the capital was to create a ritual for the ceremonial opening of the Spirit World.

The High Elf Erenes and his disciple Erwin were the ones representing the fairies.
