Dear My Knight

3. Asherah Glade – (10)

***

“Azelan, even if everything you said is true…. Wouldn’t there be an intention to tell me that?”

Realizing that Ed’s attitude towards her has changed, Azelan raises the corner of her mouth even louder and speaks more ferociously.

“It is mine. Yes, I will tell you in an easy to understand way without adding or subtracting anything. The reason I am saying this is because Asherah is… Ed, because I am obsessed with you.”

“Obsession… ….”

As I mumble Azelan’s words, I fall into her thoughts.

It’s an obsession…. He didn’t understand why Lady Ashera was showing such an attitude.

Will she become a person enough to feel that way towards the young lady?

However, he was aware that the kindness the young lady had shown him was certainly beyond the ordinary kind.

So… It was confusing.

“Well, now that I think about it, the fact that I did a lot of things I couldn’t bear to do to you in my childhood stuck in my heart, so there must be a certain amount of warning about Ashera like this. I don’t have any other meaning, so I want you to think about my words sometimes.”

Ed didn’t even give a specific answer to the appearance of him continuing the conversation as if he was serious.

Looking at Ed like that, Azelan slowly raised her body up against the railing.

Then she smiles lightly and walks past Ed and leaves the terrace.

Jerbug.

Jerbug.

‘So, Ed, think about it.’

If lies are hidden in the truth, anyone will be deceived.

Forward Ed that guy is obviously due to his words. He will continue to be aware without being aware of it.

Asherah She will naturally be alerted to her approaching herself, and each and every trivial act of hers will be associated with the fact that her brothers, who were her own, drove them to ruin.

In my mind right now, Ashera was full of desire to kill Ed, whom she cherished. .

That guy’s life was never worth weighing against his own, so he was content with that much for now.

If she can’t aim for the position of Glead’s successor… Yes it is good

I will get out of Glad and start proudly in the world.

I must stand alone and at the end… I will definitely make this Glead family my own.

Clap.

With the sound of the terrace door closing, Azelan disappeared.

“….”

Left alone on the terrace, Ed slowly grabs his hand.

He thinks while slowly clasping his own hand where nothing exists.

‘It’s an obsession.’

A young lady’s obsession with herself….

Anyway, does saying that imply that the lady’s heart is in a bad direction?

Or is she saying that she wants to die the same death as her brother? I didn’t understand that.

However, the girl’s hand that was still touching the afternoon.

The feeling of waking up and carefully caressing your hand.

That feeling seemed to be vividly felt even now.

“Even if….”

Even so, nothing has changed in my treatment of the young lady.

The favor he had received from the lady had not gone anywhere, and the present self had existed as a glade after all.

Thinking so, she suddenly remembered the image of the young lady who kept telling her about the position of the successor to Glea de.

—-Ed, I really didn’t make the decision too hastily… Can you really, really be sure?

—- Ed, you won’t get a better chance than this.

—-Unbeknownst to you, Ed, I know you are discriminated against here in the North.

ㅡSimply one knight…. Are you really satisfied with that, Ed?

… As if all the puzzles fit together. It was only now that Azelan’s words began to make sense.

Azelan says Lady Ashera is obsessed with him.

Gorea, the destructive course of Bledian Glead and death at the end.

And Azelan, who intends to leave the family soon to preserve her own life.

The appearance of the young lady who kept asking him to be the successor.

If all of that was planned by the lady….

Perhaps if all of that was done to put himself in the position of the heir to Glaade….

“You must tell me… Didn’t you ask if you were satisfied with just one knight?”

I think of a person as I slowly open my clenched hands.

How has her appearance changed now?

Despite the fact that she has a noble status belonging to the Magic Tower, she is a girl who comes to see her every week.

Chersha Kalua.

Eight years later, the girl’s name was still firmly established in her own heart.

Although her heart, like her own conviction to become her knight, still looms large in her own heart.

However, facing reality, she wondered if she had come too far, that she had come too late.

She was already caught up in a huge current without even realizing it.

And the flow so naturally embraced her that she did not know that she was caught up in it even though she was caught up in it.

The huge flow itself feels so cozy and cozy… She didn’t let herself get out of the flow.

She came now and how could she herself reject that flow.

She said, Lady Asherah, she just wanted to be in the flow.

She

She just wanted her to exist as a glaed.

A look that has a noble meaning in a soft and fragile impression and a cold face that doesn’t seem to give anyone a break.

Her face always seems to embrace everyone.

She

She did not discriminate against others in her treatment of herself. She was secretly envious of her blue eyes like the starlight, so she did not have the slightest doubt.

Before she knew it, the mean feelings of her that she felt compared to herself had disappeared without a sound.

Her Just by looking at her… Just by sharing her words, she was satisfied with the situation itself and she was confident.

Saahak.

A gentle night breeze blew and seemed to caress Ed lightly.

The gaze of the wall shining under the radiant blond hair was looking at the scenery of Glia, the city that exists under the terrace.

Just like that, while the time passed, Ed, who had been standing motionless on the terrace, carefully opened his mouth.

aaah.

However, Ed’s small voice was drowned out as if it were swept away by the sound of a sudden strong wind.

***

Gleard Mansion late at night.

Ashera slowly moved her body and headed for the terrace on the third floor.

What kind of conversation did Azelan and Ed have there? She was so curious about it even though there was no way she could know it.

He felt uneasy about Ed talking and exchanging opinions with someone in a place where he was not present.

Even now, I couldn’t sleep because I was constantly worried about it. So I left the room to get some fresh air.

I reached the terrace on the third floor before I knew it and put my hand on the door.

Clap.

With the sound of the terrace door opening, Ashera cautiously stepped in.

“Ah.”

Asera, who had her eyes on the scenery of the terrace, let out a surprised sound.

“Lady Asherah… ? It is late at night.”

“… Ed, what are you doing here late at night?”

Unexpected Edgar Terrace was there. The atmosphere seemed to be different from the expression on her face, as if she was worrying about something she did not know.

What did she hear from Azelan? She was so curious about it, but she couldn’t bear to ask, so she moved closer to Ed and carefully sat down in her seat.

Sureuk.

So he didn’t like the way Ed kept staring down at the view of the city from the terrace, even though he was nearby.

“Ed?”

“Yes.”

“Shouldn’t we at least look at people when we answer?”

At Ashera’s grumbling words, Ed turned his gaze away from her with a small smile.

“I will be careful from now on. Miss.”

“Also, as I always thought, Ed’s tone of voice sounds too stiff. At least if it’s just the two of us, I want you to answer in a slightly softer tone.”

Even though he said that, Ashera did something… She thought she was cowardly.

Since her own tone is so hard, she wants a gentle response from him….

After he woke up, she approached him casually and talked to him easily, but she was confident, but now, in the end, she was talking to him with the same distanced tone as usual.

Although she was conscious of it, it was difficult for her to speak to Ed so kindly when she was so awake.

“Yes, I understand. Miss.”

In spite of Ashera’s words, Ed responded with a soft tone and looked at Ashera as if examining him.

Although Ashera was conscious of Ed’s gaze, she did not avoid the gaze that was looking at her.

“Come to think of it, today the young lady is wearing clothes she has never worn before.”

“… So?”

Asera carefully lowered her voice, wondering what words would come out of Ed’s mouth. She was worried that Ed’s mouth would say that she didn’t look good in those clothes or that she didn’t fit him.

“Didn’t all of the family’s vassals and servants only look at the lady like that?”

“….”

“I just… Asherah, she wanted to tell you that even if you wear such a robe, you look really good.”

After speaking softly, Ed turned his gaze away from Ashera and looked at the scene of the city again.

It seemed to Ashera that she was ashamed of herself even though she had spoken her words out.

Really in front of a person’s face like that… Who the hell did you learn to praise directly?

Asera blushed, she thought about that for nothing and she just nodded her head slightly.

Ed glanced at Ashera and opened her mouth.

“I want to ask you something about the lady you told me the other day.”

“Then do not delay… ask. If there is anything I can answer, I will answer.”

Ed’s appearance when he speaks in a pleasant voice is as if he is stained with emotion. It seemed that something had changed in Ed’s mind in the few hours they hadn’t seen each other.

“If I were satisfied with just one knight….”

He seemed more cautious than anything else as he slowly opened his mouth.

And after he hadn’t listened to him for a few words, he knew what he was talking about.

It was something he had already heard from him several times.

Only one knight.

The reason why he, who is usually deep in thought, dares to say such a thing.

“Will you allow it, Lady Asherah?”

In less than a day since he became conscious, he seemed to have finally realized it too.

And… He seemed to be talking back to himself.

Looking at the brightly shining wall below the blonde hair that is blowing small in the night breeze.

I am colder than ever….

He promised to convey his will to him.

With his own voice that can be heard so clearly.

I convey my words to Ed with all my heart.

“I can’t allow it.”
