chapter 26
3. Asherah Glade – (4)
***
“… ….”
I slowly came to my senses in the sensation of my body boiling.
A constant feeling of heat all over the body.
The condition must have improved after receiving the priest’s treatment….
Let’s lower our voices and open our mouths while still feeling like our minds are floating.
“Coke!”
Unbeknownst to me, it leaked from my cough. His mouth became dry, as if even the moisture from the corners of his mouth had been taken away by the heat that lingered inside him.
Immediately after, I opened my eyes and looked around, and soon I saw a familiar space. It must have been evening or dawn, and only the light of the moon was shining in the interior. It was very dark inside.
He only saw the dim outline, but he didn’t think much of it, and he knew right away that this was his room.
There was no doubt about the empty interior, which seemed to have only assortment, and was filled with only necessary furniture.
Then, all of a sudden, someone leaned on one side of his bed and looked at someone.
And when I checked who it was, I involuntarily stopped thinking.
“… Ah.”
Even though it’s disheveled, her blue hair shines brightly. Beneath it was a beautiful face with a delicate impression.
Unlike the restrained expression that settled on the weak impression that we usually see, now she seemed to be defenseless as she was soundly asleep, breathing loudly as if no one could touch her.
However, the dark expression of fatigue on her face caught my attention.
“… Suck.”
She swallowed her own voice in a hurry, trying to leak out at the defenseless figure of the lady Asherah she hadn’t seen before. A tiny bit of saliva ran down her throat between her dry mouth and she felt a stinging pain.
She feels the pain and is still aware that her body is not normal.
I was in a hurry to quench my burning thirst right now, so I looked around and looked for something to drink.
I soon found a water bottle lying on top of a closet, and I hurriedly reached out and grabbed it. Feel the cold sensation on your fingertips and carefully drink the water.
Gulp.
I organize my thoughts while feeling the cold moisture running down my neck.
Even though it was only a vague memory until he came back through the front gate of Glaad. Her memories after that were vague and there was no proper memory.
Why the hell is Lady Ashera in her own room?
Seeing the twilight moonlight illuminating her interior, why the hell is she here in the middle of the night?
My first thoughts were full of doubts about the young lady. She thought about it over and over again, but no answer came.
In the end, she came to the conclusion that she wouldn’t be able to hear the answer until after the young lady woke up.
“Whoa….”
I emptied all the water that seemed so delicious that I wondered if there was such sweet water, put the water bottle back in place, and carefully leaned my upper body against the bed board.
Thirdness continued despite drinking all the water in the bottle.
Unexpected Ashera Her presence made her feel awake, but within a moment, her senses were focused on the bizarre heat that filled her whole body again.
She wasn’t just a fever, but considering the pain she’d been through, she was something different.
It seems that something like her unreleased heat continues to hover inside her….
In my heart, I wanted to somehow cool off this heat by throwing myself into a cold lake at night.
“… ….”
The situation is not right now to create a seat.
That’s why the heat that lingers all over the body blurs consciousness.
I stare at her blankly at the moonlight that her twilight illuminates her interior, then I look at her sleeping on one side of her bed.
Somehow, her original blue hair, which was long to her waist, was neatly trimmed down to her shoulders.
Looking at the tired look on her face, I wondered if something had happened while she wasn’t there.
Sometimes the young lady frowned, wondering if she was having some kind of nightmare while sleeping soundly.
‘… Dangerous.’
And just by looking at her like that, it seemed that her alarm bell was ringing within herself.
Although such dangerous thoughts did not leave her own head. But she seemed to be possessed by something of hers, and she herself could not take her eyes off her young lady’s sleeping face.
Her beauty, which gradually grew over time, seemed to have the magical power of forgetting the passage of time just by looking at it.
I felt her heat rising all over her body and looked at her while she was asleep.
Until her first six years of settling in Glead, she had to keep her eyes on her and keep her eyes on her.
They are the immediate descendants of Glaad. Having experienced their venomous nature countless times, he was afraid that she might end up hating her too.
However, unlike her own concerns, she was extremely detached from herself.
No, to be precise, she didn’t seem to care about anyone.
Unlike the members of the Gleard family who treat her coldly, she always treats herself as equal to others.
She told herself that she harbored a feeling that she was fortunate in her utter nonchalant close gaze that lasted close to several years.
She came without any warning.
Three years ago, as she approached her with unknown intentions, she wondered if she might be trying to do something to herself like other direct relatives. .
She seemed to have no ill intentions or intentions on her part.
That’s why, unlike himself who thought she wouldn’t come, of course, she came back several times after that.
She seemed to have done it no matter what triggered her. She found herself looking for her and talking to her, and she felt fear herself.
Since no one knew why she came to visit her in a space where she was not favored, she continued to express her intention to refuse.
And Ashera The more she came to find herself, the more she was harassed by those who were directly related to Glead.
She couldn’t help feeling that if her words meant anything to her, she would sink herself into a pit.
She was later given the surname of Gleard by her teacher. Thinking about it now, everything felt strange because the fact that she was given the surname of Gleard also came from her.
Someone’s favor toward oneself.
It was only recently that he was able to realize it, and that feeling gave him a strange feeling.
In a world where everyone seemed to be full of malice, I thought that someone knew how to serve others.
After that, time passed and he finally climbed up to her high-ranking knight, and he was escorted by Lady Ashera, and he had conversations with her from time to time.
That’s why, looking back, it’s been less than a year since Ashera started talking to him warmly and sharing her words with her calmness.
Thinking about it now, she had just reached the senior level, and it seemed like it was unbelievable that she even got the job of escorting her.
“… To… de.”
She continued her thoughts while looking at her asera as if possessed, but her expression hardened at the words that suddenly flowed out of her mouth.
When did she wake up without even realizing it?
Or maybe she had some kind of displeasure in her own gaze as she kept looking at her.
Holding her breath, she waited for the next lady’s words to follow, but she seemed to have lost her mind. She didn’t say anything.
“….”
She exhaled lightly and looked at Ashera, who continued to sleep soundly, and slowly exhaled her relief.
At that moment, as if feeling uncomfortable, the figure of a young lady tossing and turning her body came into view.
A disheveled figure unlike a lady in the Glaad family who would surely smile if anyone saw it.
The toss and turns made the disheveled hair seem to tickle the young lady’s face.
One thing happened at the moment she was not even aware of.
The moment she puts her hand on her young lady’s face to straighten her hair, to make her sleep at least a little easier.
As soon as her own hand touched her young lady’s face, her young lady’s eyes opened.
ㅡㅡ!!
Facing that blue jewel-like gaze from the front… For a moment, she couldn’t move herself.
“… Ah.”
She made a dumb noise and she literally froze herself.
She couldn’t lift a finger. For a moment, it seemed like I was under some kind of magic.
Just what the hell should I say in this situation.
He thought about what kind of excuse he should make, but
Recognizing her own hand on her soft cheek, she went on and on, as if she had become a fool of hers, her thoughts wandering.
Despite the fact that he always kept a distance from the lady and treated her with utmost calmness on the outside whenever her heart was shaken by her beauty.
As if all of his appearances up until now were lies.
She was holding her hand while she was sleeping.
She put her hand on her defenseless body.
And he didn’t even realize it.
It seemed like an eternity of moments continued.
Time seems to have stopped.
She met the girl’s blue eyes and she couldn’t do anything herself.
While confirming that even her own hand touching her young lady’s face was still stiff.
It was the moment she tried to open her own mouth that somehow didn’t fall off.
As if time was passing. Asera slowly raised her torso, lowered her Ed’s hand that was touching her own cheek, and clasped it with her own.
Then Ashera slowly opened her mouth.
“Wake up… It happened.”
“… Yes.”
She couldn’t say anything about that look, except that she just replied.
After her coming-of-age ceremony, Ashera, who did not take her words lightly, came out of her mouth.
“So, this hand… what was it?”
As if she would never let go of Ed’s hand that had touched her own cheek. At the figure of Ashera, who was holding her tight and asking for help.
Ed was hard as a stone statue and couldn’t bear to open her mouth.
