Chapter 344 - Erwin’s Return 1 (1/2)

Walk. Walk. And walk.

The dawn wasn’t so dark.

And there was a young person who seemed to be approaching the lordship of the Rakan Marquis.

The young one was wearing a white coat which symbolized the El Kassel denomination, and the face was covered with the hood.

However, because of the lean body, it was easy to figure out that the young wasn’t a man but a woman.

“Ha ah, I managed to come here at last!”

A clear and calm voice came out from the woman who looked at the manor.

She was a little exhausted with the long trip, however, she wasn’t tired to the extent of falling unconscious.

Taking steps again, she approached the gate of the manor.

Right then, the guards who were guarding the place approached the woman and spoke very politely.

“Glory to the messengers of the light which illuminates the darkness! I am very sorry, but this is the place where the Marquis of Rakan resides, and no one can enter without his permission.”

No matter who the man was, no human could enter the manor unless the guards were informed beforehand.

And after the recent attack from the assassins, the entrance had been asked to work more sternly.

At the words of the guard, the lady pushed back the hood which was covering her head.

Behind the hood was a woman with unparalleled beauty and green hair.

However, she wasn’t a human.

‘E, Elf!’

The guards were startled.

However, it wasn’t because of her being a beautiful elf that the other guard was shocked.

It was because the guard was familiar with her face and said, “By chance, are you Miss Erwin?”

There were very few fairies who were living in the Rakan estate.

The guards were often called by the Lord.

And the guards were made to memorize their names and appearances, including Erwin’s.

“Yes, I am Erwin Lesa. Go and inform the Marquis that I have come.”

“But, it is too late miss, the time is…”

The guards were rather flustered with her words.

It was because their Lord normally would be asleep by the time.

“Please move fast. I have come to visit the Lord in a secret manner, that is why I had to come at this time to meet him.”

She told them that so they wouldn’t ignore her request.

Though there was a little hesitation, the guards went and informed the butler that Erwin had arrived.

“What did you say? There is a visitor at this time? And would want to see our Lord?”

It was said that when a man gets old, morning sleep was usually decreased.

Hans, the butler and the deputy lord of the Marquis of Rakan, could feel his morning sleep decrease.

Being an early riser, he tried to complete the pending work in the morning, and he was puzzled with the report a guard has brought in.

“Did he inform who he was?”
