Dear My Knight

1. Ed Gleard – (4)

***

“Gorea… Gora is dead?”

Hearing the maid’s words in her ear, Ashera turned her head in a hurry and asked. After she finished taking a simple shower, as usual, she was served by Eileen in the morning, and while listening to the news of the day, the very first words she heard from Aileen were unbelievable news.

“Yes, I heard that last morning, a cold corpse was found in the bedroom. That’s why Aizen-sama told us this morning to urgently assemble the Glead family’s vassals and other key figures at the Glead Hall.”

It was only a day ago.

The thing he told Ed to kill Gora.

ㅡAxis of chaos in the Glade family. Have them kill one of them, the eldest Gora.

The fact that he gave Ed him words like an irresistible order, even giving him the name Glaad.

Ed’s answer as if his emotions had disappeared was still vividly associated in his mind.

And after that, he selected out among his vassals who could thoroughly help him and entrust the work to him, and shared his words.

And I was thinking of sending him to Ed today.

I did….

I couldn’t believe how Ed had already done it, and that he had really killed that gora.

‘Ed, Ed, how is he now… ?’

His heart sank as he thought about him over and over again.

I suddenly became short of breath and couldn’t think normally.

As she brought her hand to her own beloved sword placed near her, Ashera’s complexion turned white.

“…Lady?”

Despite Eileen’s voice beside her, Ashera continued to fill her head with her thoughts about Ed.

He thinks he shouldn’t have acted like that with one discarder.

He didn’t even think that Ed would work alone.

Saying that to him was to show his determination and determination for the future, but he never thought he would do something reckless in just one day….

Power enters his hand holding the sword.

It was his own fault.

Ed He told him he should have told himself more properly. He should have been….

It was such a big mistake.

“… Miss? Lady Asherah! If you feel unwell, call a therapist right now….”

The car is about to deepen its heavy emotions, as if it were endlessly strangling itself. I could see Eileen holding her anxiously.

“It’s okay, it’s okay Eileen. So the culprit… Has the cause of death been revealed?”

Ashera, who struggled to hold back her trembling voice, carefully opened her mouth.

I hope her own worries are just for nothing.

She hoped nothing would happen to him.

Has something happened to the young lady’s body? Eileen, concerned about her, brushed her chest, she said calmly.

“Nothing specific has been revealed about the culprit yet. However, it turned out that the cause of death pierced the heart of Lady Gleaad at once and met her death without any resistance. Now I heard that a woman who was in the same bedroom is being investigated about him….”

Ashera listened to Eileen’s words. As if relieved, she exhaled heavily.

Her heart was still pounding.

Maybe something happened to Ed.

She was worried that he might have messed everything up because of her own words, but fortunately, Ed didn’t say anything about him from Eileen.

“Are you really okay, Lady Ashera?”

At Aileen’s repeated question, she slowly nodded her head and pointed to her own clothes.

“Let’s hurry up. She needs to go to the hall and get the details of Gora’s death.”

“… All right.”

Starting with such light clothes and finally Ashera’s knight armor, Eileen’s busy hands began to cover Ashera’s body one after another.

On top of her soft clothes, Asera’s unique knight’s armor was put on, forming a neat and tidy appearance of non-flashy blue light. However, despite this, Ashera’s gorgeous beauty was not covered.

Even the painting of Chaldea’s ‘Knight of the Empire’, her work, which was made famous by the elaborate work of a painter in the empire’s famous atelier, was a beauty that seemed to fade compared to her.

Eileen carefully caressed Ashera’s neatly tied up blue hair and finished her hair with a luxurious pin engraved with the badge of a blue hawk.

Her two blue eyes, which seemed to radiate starlight contained in her glazed impression, seemed to radiate their beauty heterogeneously and strongly.

“But by what means….”

Ashera muttered subconsciously as she looked at her reflection in the mirror, and received Eileen’s hand as she carefully put the sword around her waist.

“My lady?”

“No, nothing.”

Eileen was obviously a trustworthy maid, so she was an Ashera who didn’t worry about anything, but she didn’t say anything more than that.

After that, when she left her room, she saw the figures of her knights who had sharpened their blades in just one day. As soon as they met Ashera, they naturally took the ki ceremony and expressed their respect, and while accepting the same gi ceremony as the greeting, Ashera moved her steps.

Asherah’s steps were as graceful as she ever was, but the pace of those steps was faster than her usual.

***

Gleard Hall.

It was a space where only vassals or direct descendants of the Glaad family could enter.

A spacious space reminiscent of a banquet hall. Waves of brilliant blue light embroidering the space.

A variety of unusual decorations filling the space and a space embroidered with countless other patterns made me feel reverent just by entering it.

And in the center of the space was a large, luxurious blue round table.

The center and end of that circle.

I saw him leaning on the lavishly embroidered table of honor.

“Welcome, Ed.”

“Yes. Master.”

Responding calmly, he naturally headed towards the vacant space among the tables of the blue round table. Along with the sharp-edged retainers, the second son, Voldian, with a mirthful smile, and the younger Azelan, with a subtle expression, could be seen at every seat at the table.

And when she turned her head at the gaze she felt from a distance from them, she saw Lady Ashera looking at her.

As I gently bowed my head to express her greetings, Ashera naturally smiled and nodded her head.

And Ed, who briefly looked at the anxious eyes over Ashera’s natural smile, took his seat.

After Ed sat down, Aizen looked around her audience and opened her mouth.

“I don’t have to say it, but everyone will know why I called all of you here.”

Aizen’s voice, which was neither too high nor too low, resonated calmly as if it filled the Glade Hall, and his voice had a little bit of Aizen’s unique energy, so some of the retainers even shrank without even realizing it. .

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“You have to do a thorough investigation. He is the one who dared to work within the Gleard family mansion.”

While various answers were being exchanged, the second son, Bledian Gleard, suddenly opened his mouth with a happy face.

“hehehe, as far as I know, the knights who stood guard over Goa-hyung the night before belonged to Azelan, but shouldn’t we properly investigate the Knights of Azellan, who stood guard earlier?”

At the same time, most of the eyes, including the vassal, were directed to the son, Azelan.

Azelan calmly opened his mouth with a serious expression as if he was conscious of the attention of the audience.

“Before coming to Glad Hall, I confirmed the level of alert for the Knights. It is said that all of the knights belonging to Azelan who stood guard did not neglect their own vigilance. This is an untrue result because all the knights have already used True Vision on high-level wizards.”

Some of the attendees expressed surprise that they even used True Vision in such a short amount of time.

After being caught trying to siphon off family fortunes, the son of Azelan has been known for being careful about everything.

“Well, but, Azellan, is the wizard you confirmed trustworthy?”

“… Brother Boldian is making a lot of assumptions today. Rather, considering the order of alert of each knight, wouldn’t it be correct to assume that the culprit was aiming? The culprit is now that Gleaad is hoping for an internal division.”

“hehehe, or not. Why are you talking so hot, Azellan?”

When his second son, Bledian, smiled and spoke sarcasticly with one corner of his mouth curled up, some of his vassals expressed their displeasure.

But that’s all. There was no vassal who would openly stop Beuldian, the second son.

No matter how low their reputation and reputation were, the vassals only listened to them and did not intervene, as they were definitely from the Glaad family.

That was the case even though about half of the vassals gathered at Gleaard Hall each belonged to their own faction.

A direct descendant of the Glaad family.

Even if you look only at the fragmentary appearance seen in the hall, the status of the blood of the Glaad family was by no means light.

“But of course, apart from that, my knights will take responsibility for Goa-nim’s unfortunate incident. The knights who stood guard that day will surely be severely punished.”

Azelan, who had been glaring at Beuldian for a while, spoke calmly.

Aizen, who was just watching the sharpened discussions of her descendants, smiled and took her eyes off them.

Then I suddenly turned my gaze to Ed.

“Ed, what do you think?”

The moment he turned his head to read Aizen’s words and met her eyes.

‘… !’

For a moment, Ed’s breath stopped.

A truly overwhelming force.

Seeing as there was no reaction to the gazes of the other vassals coming into the surroundings, this was clearly Aizen’s momentum directed only at himself.

Aisen He doesn’t even carry a sword.

I didn’t even raise my voice.

And the huge table that now accommodated countless people, including retainers, was at least three meters away from his teacher, Aizen, considering the distance between them.

The voice that spoke while looking at himself calmly was a descendant, including a retainer. It was so normal that none of them felt abnormal.

But the moment he met Aizen’s nonchalant eyes looking at him, he felt the force so strong that he couldn’t even breathe.

‘I know.’

Ed instinctively felt the fact as he met Aizen’s eyes.

Aizen already knew that she was the culprit who destroyed Gora.

Ed naturally gave off his momentum when he looked at Aizen, feeling the tension as if he was barely hanging over a sharp blade.

But even so, it felt like it was too much to take on Aizen’s momentum.

It was just a day ago. I heard from them.

Aizen asked if he was interested in the successor.

What Lady Asherah said to me.

But is Lady Ashera’s wish also what her teacher, Aizen, wants?

He should have thought more deeply about it himself.

Ed bit his lip hard.

“I….”

Ed opened his mouth and swallowed nervously.
