Chapter 782 – 782. Wizard’s Tower (3)
Returning to her house, Erin cautiously looked at Eunhyun and spoke to her.
“Hyunah. Are you okay?”
“Are you okay.”
Eunhyun answered with her wry smile.
Ju-hong’s retort was so sudden and sharp that it was a painful blow that stabbed Eun-hyeon right in the chest, but she didn’t even have the weak mental strength to break that much.
[The lower world really pays attention to the strange part.]
Belldandy also smiled a little and gently hugged Eunhyeon’s neck.
[We, the actual parties, are satisfied with it and are living happily.]
It was a consolation that included Belldandy’s own consideration.
Even Belldandy knew that he couldn’t think that way, but he had a strong desire that at least Eunhyeon would not disturb his heart over such a trivial matter.
[Don’t worry too much about other people’s opinions or evaluations. You weren’t the type to care about such things in the first place, were you?]
“I see… But…”
It may not matter if it is someone who is not related at all, but if it is Ju-hong, who is close to his sister, the story is completely different.
“I still want Hongi to meet the right person and live a happy life.”
“Does Hyun-i hate Cha Han-seong?”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.”
It’s not that Eunhyeon dislikes Cha Hanseong himself.
Before he became a knight, the period of his activity as an adventurer was quite long, so he had his own vitality and was strong.
Now that he has become a knight, his career as an active member of the Knights of Artia continues to accumulate, and it can be said that the future is promising.
In fact, there is a record of receiving medals and titles from Queen Yuria, so it is only natural that he is strengthening his position in the kingdom as well as his ability as a knight.
Not only that, but the sincerity and uprightness of the man Cha Han-seong itself are his virtues.
“Only… Right now, that person has Aira.”
“… Uh. Is that so?”
Erin reacted with her eyes wide open as if she hadn’t expected it at all.
She was bewildered as she made a face as to why she hadn’t thought of that.
“Erin. What if I thought I was flirting with other women besides Verdandi and Illyana and her wives?”
“I don’t like it.”
Erin answered immediately without hesitation.
She frowned as if just imagining it annoyed her, and she spoke without hesitation.
“I feel very betrayed.”
“…”
“Illiana-sama would hit Hyun-yi on the cheek about five times, right?”
“Why five generations?”
“Not only Iliana-sama, but me and Eleanor-sama. A total of five, including Lily and Belldandy.”
“… Let’s stop assuming oddly realistic numbers.”
Eunhyun smiled bitterly and touched her cheek.
I didn’t even get hit, but I feel like I’ve already been hit.
[Whoops, are you including me? Thank you.]
Seeing Eunhyeon’s reaction, Belldandi patted Erin’s head admirably.
Despite being in a non-existent spiritual state, the clear touch of Belldandi felt good.
“Hi-Hi. But would Illyana-sama really do that?”
It was a remark that clearly showed the level of Illyana’s position in Eunhyeon’s family.
“What… Turning the story back, how would Eira feel if a new woman she had never known appeared next to Cha Han-sung?”
“Yeah… She won’t be in a good mood.”
Only then did Erin put on a puzzled expression.
Eira and Cha Han-seong are senior-juniors working together within the Knights, but it has already developed into a closer relationship than that.
However, it has not developed into a romantic relationship between a man and a woman, and it is still ambiguous.
“But this is so, her sister is also at fault! Why doesn’t she confess first?”
“Eira must have various complicated reasons.”
She is representative of her status as an aristocrat.
Of course, Eunhyeon knew that the Duke of Olivion wasn’t a family worth worrying about, but rather, there must be some parts that are not easy because of the position and responsibility of being a duke.
“… Can’t we just like the two of us?”
“Because that’s not easy in the world.”
It was a world that Erin could not easily relate to.
In the case of Erin, when she conveyed her feelings to Eunhyun, she only went straight ahead.
Of course, it was a prerequisite that she had to pay attention to Illyana, with whom she had a relationship first, but it was also possible because that Illyana was very fond of her Erin.
“The biggest problem is Riod.”
He is the most free of his status and responsibilities, and he is a reliable father who has no intention of making his daughter oblige, but he is the worst in this matter because he is a father who thinks of his daughter that much.
“There’s no way that guy would easily allow a relationship with Eira.”
This isn’t just Cha Han-seong, it’s not easy even if a prince who is the son of the country’s most powerful person comes.
In a sense, the Duke of Olivion’s family is not a family that even the Fernias family can easily touch.
“That, right…”
Erin nodded her head with a heavy expression as if she agreed with this part.
As Erin, who is watching from her side, feels frustrated that the relationship between the two is not progressing, but Leodra sees a wall she can never overcome and thinks there is nothing she can do.
“Anyway, I didn’t want to keep Hongi close to the complicated Cha Han-seong.”
Wouldn’t it be bad for Cha Han-seong, Eira, and Ju-hong, all three of them?
It was Eun-hyeon’s own concern for that, but it seemed to be too much and unnecessary interference for Ju-hong.
“Wouldn’t it be okay if I didn’t think too deeply?”
“Does Lily think so too?”
“Yes.”
Lily smiled her bitterly, saying she was too worried.
“Because people’s hearts don’t open that easily, nor do they get closer.”
“If nothing happened and we were just friends, I wouldn’t worry too much…”
Otherwise, the person who created the chaos between Cha Han-seong, Eira, and Ju-hong was actually Eun-hyeon.
“Um, well… And if Cha Han-sung has a sense of humor, he will draw a line. Could it be that Eira has an older sister?”
Erin had a similar opinion to Lily in this respect.
“And… Even if it develops into a more special relationship, there may not be a big problem.”
“… Do you really think so?”
“Yes. Just like us.”
Lily answered confidently and pulled Eunhyun’s arm.
She naturally crossed her arms and continued.
“Wouldn’t it be possible to live happily like us?”
“Huh! That’s right! Sister! Well done!”
[As I always say, children worry too much.]
As her two wives and the goddess were talking together, she somehow wondered if she was thinking something stupid.
However, Eun-hyeon was very fortunate in her relationship with women, to the point where she wondered if she had a lot of luck because she had no problems.
Although she did not think that such luck would follow Cha Han-seong one after another.
“… Okay.”
After hearing Erin’s words, Eun-hyeon stopped thinking deeply about Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong.
The three of them transferred to the interior of the Archis Great Labyrinth and went straight into the house.
“Right. Not nice.”
In the living room, Eleanor, who was sitting at a table, was hugging and patting Ilaina to soothe her.
Preoccupied with seeing Ilayna, she found the three people returning home late.
“Are you here?”
“Huh.”
“We are here.”
“I’m home. Little madam.”
As soon as Erin saw Ileina, she announced her presence by responding with vigor.
She then looked around her and asked.
“Miss Eleanor. How about Iliana-sama?”
She wondered that it was Eleanor and not her mother, Iliana, who was holding and caring for Ilayna.
“Illyana-sama is preparing now.”
“Are you ready?”
“Hyunah. I’m here?”
Just in time, Illyana came out of the bedroom and greeted the three.
She was wearing a black witch’s outfit for the first time in a very long time, not the glamorous and sexy negligee she usually wore.
The three of them looked puzzled when they saw the magician’s attire originally worn during external activities.
“Where are you going?”
“What are you so surprised about? I changed because I had to go out.”
Naturally, she was Illyana, who had only lived in a house in this dungeon for nearly a year, so it was only natural that she was bewildered.
“Hyunah. Prepare yourself.”
“Me too?”
“I have somewhere to go with you.”
“Where are you going?”
“Magic Tower.”
“Ah.”
Eunhyun let out a small exclamation.
“If it’s a mage tower, is it the ‘Wizard’s Tower’?”
“That’s right.”
The place called the Mage’s Tower is a place that refers to the ‘Wizard’s Tower’, and refers to the building where outstanding wizards from all over the continent belong.
In fact, among the graduates of Aether, the royal school of the Kingdom of Pernias, there were not a few who headed to the Mage Tower in order to develop their abilities and become outstanding mages.
Of course, among the wizards who acted as adventurers, most of the talented ones were also from the Mage Tower, so I had heard at least Erin’s name.
It is as if all seven or eight high-ranking wizards, who are said to have only ten people on the continent, belong to this mage tower.
Simon Magius, a seven-digit high-ranking wizard who is currently regarded as the most powerful wizard in the Kingdom of Pernias, is also listed in this Mage Tower, and Illyana, who is officially known as an independent, is the same.
“For starters, Illyana is also a member of that Mage Tower.”
“It’s been over 10 years since I stopped walking.”
After the war that swept the entire continent 20 years ago, it had already been 10 years since the last time I stopped by for a short time after not visiting it.
“Yes? Why?”
“Yeah…”
To Erin’s question, confused and asking why, Illyana did not readily answer.
She glanced at Eun-hyeon, then she hugged Erin tightly and gave a small smile.
“I just wanted to live alone. I didn’t want to do anything, I was alone without any interference or restraints.”
She was like Illyana in the days when Eunhyun wasn’t around.
She didn’t want to meet anyone or do anything.
She knew the days of terribly lonely and cold would go on, and she just knew it would end.
“Huh?”
Erin didn’t quite understand her Illyana’s words.
She just tilted her head and put on a puzzled expression.
“Why are you suddenly going to the Magic Tower?”
“A letter has arrived. From the old man.”
“Oh, I see.”
By old man, I mean the master who taught Illyana her magic.
The magic tower was, in a sense, like her home to Illyana.
Eun-hyeon suddenly realized why she was preparing for her homecoming.
“What is going on all of a sudden?”
As far as Eun-hyeon knew, she had never sent a letter from Illyana to her since he and Illyana had been living together.
“Well… I don’t know why. I just told you to come and show your face. You will know once you go.”
I don’t know what’s going on, but since she hasn’t visited Illyana or even once in 10 years, it was also a good opportunity to let her know that a lot has changed since she had a baby and got married.
Illyana looked at Erin, who was cradled in her arms.
Erin, who was buried in her voluptuous chest, looked up at Illyana with an expression of her curiosity.
“Do you want to go with me too?”
“Yes yes! I want to go!”
She had only heard rumors about the Mage’s Tower, which thoroughly excluded those who were not permitted to enter, but Erin, who had never been there before, responded coldly with her eyes shining.
