Chapter 1215 – 1215. Yggdrasil (8)
I arrived at the reception room with Stella, guided by the Lux Solis servants.
So Stella and I remained alone in the living room.
“You…”
As soon as Stella was alone, she opened her mouth with a prim expression, but…
“It is an honor for you to visit our family again, Her Royal Highness Princess Stella.”
“…”
What I was saying was interrupted by the appearance of a handsome man in his mid-40s.
There was a hint of dissatisfaction between Stella’s eyebrows when her conversation was interrupted, but she nodded without voicing her dissatisfaction.
“Like you said, it’s been a really long time. I can’t even remember when my last visit was.”
“Haha, it was 207 and about 4 months ago. For your information, the last time I visited the Royal Palace of Arbos was three years and two months ago.”
“You still remember and live with useless things.”
“Haha, thank you for the compliment.”
A middle-aged woman smiles and accepts Stella’s almost sarcastic compliment.
The identity of the middle-aged American is Walter Luxsolis.
He is the head of the Luxsolis family and the manager of all dungeons on the 5th floor.
And at the same time…
“I’ve heard a lot about you, Seong Su-ho.”
“You heard a lot?”
“Yes. The story of Mr. Wedlock transferring control is very famous.”
An elf who rules the 5th floor like me.
I thought I knew why Walter Luxsolis brought only me and Stella here.
As far as I know, Walter Luxsolis’s dominance was 30%, the same as mine.
Stellar 40%.
Walter Luxsolis 30%
Me 30%
As a result, 100% of the 5th floor control was gathered in one room.
“I am sorry for not being able to give you a proper welcome during your sudden visit, Her Royal Highness.”
“Well, it’s done. “I also hate clutter now.”
“Haha, you’ve changed a lot.”
“You remain like a dull statue.”
“Haha.”
Walter Luxsolis was talking freely with Stella.
I was amazed when I saw that.
‘Wow, your dominance is amazing.’
Even the chief chamberlain and the captain of the guard, who are called Arbos’ second-in-command, naturally bow in front of Stella.
However, Walter Lux Solis was treating Stella like an uncle on his mother’s side who was treating his powerful nephew.
Moreover, it wasn’t just Walter Luxsolis’ attitude that was surprising.
Even Stella was not that uncomfortable with Walter Luxsolis.
However, it was not a sign of favor.
I could roughly guess the relationship through the conversation between the two.
‘A perfect person to talk to kill time sometimes.’
That was about it.
While I was closely observing the relationship between the two…
“We’ll talk about the trivial things later. “I want to rest now.”
“Oops, sorry. “I enjoyed the conversation with Her Highness so much that I ended up talking longer without realizing it.”
“Hmph, that’s enough lip service.”
The conversation between the two ended on a cold note.
Walter Luxsolis stood up and opened his mouth while being polite to Stella and me.
“I will personally guide you to your residence.”
After hearing those words, Stella stood up calmly, and I stood up with a puzzled expression.
‘You’re just saying it like this?’
Since Stella and I were brought to the living room separately, I thought something important would be discussed.
However, Walter Luxsolis had a few small words with Stella and then destroyed the place.
He didn’t even say a word to me other than hello.
What’s surprising is…
‘There is no need to guide the guide yourself.’
He was showing such an easy-going appearance that it made you wonder if he was someone with the same level of control as Stella.
Because it looked so unique, I wondered if something would happen on the way…
“This is the place where Her Majesty the Princess will be tied up.”
I was able to arrive at Stella’s room without any problems.
Stella’s room had a similar shape to Stella’s bedroom in Arbos Royal Castle.
It feels like it was intentionally made to resemble Stella’s bedroom… ?
When Stella arrived, the door opened, and Stella’s servants were already waiting inside the bedroom.
Only then did I understand why Walter Luxsolis led Stella to the drawing room first.
‘Hey… ‘You deliberately took the time to make the bedrooms the same.’
It was revealed that this was to buy time for Stella’s personal servants to renovate the bedroom.
Whatever his intentions, it was clear that Walter Luxsolis had a thoroughgoing personality.
Walter Luxsolis, who guided Stella to the bedroom…
“Can we talk for a moment while Her Majesty the Princess rests?”
For the first time, I requested a formal conversation rather than a greeting.
But unfortunately, the forum for dialogue did not open.
I didn’t reject it because I didn’t like it.
“He has something to talk about with me. If you want to talk, let’s find a place after I finish my business.”
Stella refused instead.
I looked back and forth between Stella and Walter Luxsolis with a puzzled expression.
Walter Luxsolis made eye contact with me and spoke to Stella with a gentle smile.
Haha, you are a guest who came from a long distance, but I must have been oblivious to you. All right. I’ll come see you later. Well then I’ll just…”
He left carefully without showing any signs of displeasure.
Seeing Walter Luxsolis like that, Stella snorted.
“Let’s go in.”
“Uh… “Yes.”
I suddenly followed Stella into the bedroom.
And as soon as Stella entered the bedroom…
“Everyone waits outside.”
“… Yes, Her Royal Highness.”
The servants were sent out.
Looking at Stella like that, I tilted her head.
“Do you have something to say?”
Stella had earlier declined Walter Luxsolis’ offer and said that she had something to talk about with me.
When I expressed my doubts like that…
“… “It’s not that I have something to say, it’s you that I should have something to say, isn’t it?”
“… ?”
This is some kind of nonsense.
When I furrowed my eyebrows and made a reluctant expression, Stella opened her mouth quietly with a genuine frown.
“Did you have any inconveniences on the way here?”
“Uh… Well, it was comfortable. Thanks.”
To be honest, it was true that I came here comfortably thanks to Stella.
If it weren’t for her, the time would have been shortened, but she would have had to live homeless.
After hearing what I said, Stella made a more grim expression…
“You came comfortably thanks to me, but you don’t even have a single thank you?”
“Ah…”
He hinted at the reason why he was angry with me.
Only then did I understand why Stella was angry.
‘I was so worried about midsummer, I forgot…’
This was because throughout the entire time she came here, let alone going to see Stella, she never saw her face.
And when I thought about it carefully, I realized that we didn’t even exchange a single word.
Only when I realized that fact did I remove the frown from my forehead and apologize.
“Oh, sorry, sorry. “I was busy with important business.”
“It’s important business… Well, I guess flirting with women is important to you.”
“Haha…”
Seeing him say that, it seemed like he had a rough idea of what happened in the tent, even if he didn’t know exactly what happened.
Stella’s servants were the ones who built the tent in the first place, so of course the report would have gone to her.
But I had no intention of apologizing for that part.
“I’ll pay more attention next time, so don’t say too much.”
In the first place, Stella knows well that I am a guy who is obsessed with women.
“Joy…”
Stella seemed to be somewhat relieved by my words and sat down at the table with a snort.
I asked as I sat down at the same table as Stella.
“Did you call me just to say that?”
“Joy… “Do you think I’m that free?”
“…”
For a moment, I almost nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
This was because I knew very well what a leisurely life Stella was leading.
But I decided not to upset Stella in order to hear another reason.
However…
“… I really don’t like the expression.”
Unfortunately, although my head and mouth were controlled, my expression seemed not to be controlled.
Fortunately, Stella’s feelings were only slightly touched, so Stella calmed down again and began to get to the point.
“Walter Luxsolis… What do you think of the author?”
“Hmm… No matter what you think…”
“Just tell me your assessment of your first impression.”
I wondered how I would evaluate an elf I had met for less than an hour.
Actually, the evaluation itself was not difficult.
[I opened the temperament window earlier and saved it. Would you like to see it on the screen now?]
This was because it could be evaluated based on temperament window.
However, I expressed my refusal through communication.
‘No, let’s check with Stella first.’
Even if Stella had excellent insight, it was nothing compared to Temperament Chang.
However, I wanted to have a natural conversation with Stella and answered without looking at the temperament window.
“Decent, simple, thorough… “I think it’s an elf?”
“It’s just a list of personalities.”
“Hmm…”
The answer Stella wanted was not just an explanation of temperament.
I wanted an evaluation that summarized Walter Luxsolis in one sentence.
‘Evaluate…’
After much thought, I expressed my opinion about Walter Luxsolis.
“A friendly elf?”
“He’s kind…”
When Stella heard what I said, she started to giggle.
It was a situation that could have made me feel bad, but I wasn’t particularly angry.
It was because it was an expression of pure joy rather than ridicule.
And surprisingly, my answer was…
“I guess that’s true to some extent.”
It brought out Stella’s satisfaction.
“But in the end, that’s just a personality trait.”
Of course, I wasn’t completely satisfied.
In the end, I couldn’t overcome my frustration and started complaining.
“No, how can I get to know the gentleman I met for the first time today?”
“It’s surprising. “I thought you would figure it out right away because you seemed insightful.”
Stella laughed, enjoying my grumbling, and began to explain to me about an elf named Walter Luxsolis.
“He… “He is just as buried in boredom as I am.”
“Hmm? It didn’t look like that, did it?”
I remembered the first time I met Stella.
A woman who lived thinking that everything in the world was at her feet.
That was Stella.
In Stella’s case, you could tell just by looking at her that she was buried in boredom.
But Walter Luxsolis…
“It didn’t look like that…”
He may have been hiding an evil heart under a good mask, but he didn’t look like he was hiding boredom at all.
But Stella shook her head and answered.
“The personality of that person you mentioned earlier… Decent, simple, kind, and thorough… Do you think it makes sense for someone who has been in power longer than me to have that kind of personality?”
“…”
Wouldn’t it work?
I tried to answer, but one person came to mind and my mouth fell shut.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s similar to the dean…’
Dean of Shutra.
An archmage who slaughtered countless numbers of humans, but at some point gained people’s sincere worship due to his gentle nature.
There are many reasons why he changed like that, but one of them was boredom.
Walter Luxsolis even certified that Stella, who lived for 500 years, lived longer than him.
In other words, he was much older than the dean.
I smiled helplessly and spoke over the phone.
‘I guess I should first treat older guys like they are not normal.’
[…]
When I was lamenting to Armonia, Stella’s voice woke me up.
“Oh, and… “Please don’t use the ability that used to invade my dreams against him.”
It wasn’t pointless nagging.
Stella was giving a sincere warning.
He warns that if he notices it, there’s no way he doesn’t know…
After giving the warning, Stella ended the conversation by looking out the window.
“Anyway, I warned you. From now on, you can handle it on your own.”
The reason Stella called me here was to tell me about the nature of Walter Luxsolis.
And of course the reason I said that was…
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I can deal with you comfortably.”
It was for me.
I, who received Stella’s consideration like that…
“Would you like me to clean your ears?”
He said something playful to Stella.
But Stella, who took my prank…
“… Well, since I have plenty of time, it won’t be a bad thing.”
He took it seriously and put on a calm expression.
I was satisfied with Stella’s appearance and approached her…
“Just lie down in bed first.”
“Ugh… “Of course.”
She stroked her ear and led her to her bed.
.
.
After Stella cleaned her ears, she and I were taken to my room in the afternoon.
And when I arrived in the room I was guided to, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
“I waited. Please sit down.”
“…”
I sat down and faced Walter Luxsolis, who greeted me with a calm smile.
If it had been Walter Luxsolis, I wouldn’t have been particularly surprised.
What surprised me was…
“Long time no see. “I never thought we would meet here.”
“… Lucien?”
It was Lucien, the elf I first met on the first floor.
