Episode 181. Those who are protected by God (2)
Beautiful hair that looks like pure white snow and smooth skin that looks like it was soaked in milk.
The blue eyes, without a trace of evil, truly showed untainted purity itself.
There was a lot of curiosity and fear about me in his slightly trembling eyes.
At first glance, you might think that she is a woman with a very beautiful appearance, albeit a little strange.
Until I saw Lee Hyung’s ears hidden in that long hair.
The so-called white elves.
This is the clan that owns the polar region of Pruina, in the north of the continent, where communication with humans was cut off for hundreds of years after the Shinma War.
First of all, I tried to talk to him through psychic communication and he responded in the same way, but for some reason there was no response.
Just two innocent eyes are wide open.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? “Didn’t you hear me?”
‘S-sorry! This is my first time having a telepathic conversation with a human… … .’
Shocked, she spoke to me again in my head.
‘I’m not in a situation where I can say something with my mouth right now, so I think I can only talk like this unintentionally. I’m really sorry!’
She repeatedly lowered her head and apologized.
Are you in a situation where you can’t speak?
Have you fallen under some kind of silent spell?
Kayram said she is under God’s protection, but I don’t see anything in particular to say so.
I didn’t feel any special magical power, nor did I feel the power of a god like me.
In the first place, why was a woman who was said to be under God’s protection kidnapped by these idiots who couldn’t even form a camp?
In a situation where I couldn’t decide on anything, she spoke again.
‘You mean… … ‘You’re the one who saved me, right?’
“Don’t be mistaken. Because I didn’t set out to save you. “From now on, answer only the questions asked.”
‘yes. all right… … .’
She nodded, putting her hands together neatly, as if she was a little intimidated.
In fact, before she woke up, they had already captured the bastards who were escorting her and interrogated them, but they did not get anything special.
They also said that they only received orders to lead her from a specific place and take her somewhere, but they could not even check what was inside.
The problem is that the destination is none other than ‘Gaul’, the capital of the Garam Kingdom.
Even at a glance, it looked like the tails were intricately intertwined.
It’s something I don’t particularly prefer.
“Why were you kidnapped by imperial knights?”
‘Imperial knights?’
Judging by his blinking eyes, it seems like this is the first time he’s heard the word “Imperial Knight.”
‘I don’t know much about the human realm, but by empire, are you talking about the Usif Empire?’
I just nodded and nodded.
‘You may have guessed it to some extent by looking at my appearance, but I am not from here. ‘We are a clan of white elves who live in an area called Pruina in the north of the continent.’
I didn’t question it because I already knew it.
‘Originally, we do not interact with other clans, but now that we are facing a very critical situation, we have come to ask for help from humans!’
“help?”
‘yes! In fact, there is one member of our clan who is the only one who has been educated and lives in human society. I heard that he is so famous that many people follow him, so I wanted to meet him and ask him for help… … .’
“You came here alone from that far away land?”
‘Ho, you’re not alone! I came with a few clan members, but while I was sleeping, I was suddenly dragged by strangers without being able to resist… … .’
In the end, you don’t even know why you were kidnapped.
Aside from everything else, there are white elves who are civilized in human society?
Is it also very famous?
This is a story I have never heard or seen in my entire life.
I don’t know where he is or what he does, but if it becomes known, depending on the situation, it could have quite a big impact… … .
wait for a sec.
A thought suddenly occurred to me and passed through my head.
A white elf who has been indoctrinated into human society.
It’s so famous that many people follow it, right?
‘Is something wrong?’
As she suddenly stopped talking and saw me lost in thought, she took a step closer and asked.
“Where were you originally planning to go?”
‘So, it was a place called Ghaul. I heard that the capital is in a place called Garam Kingdom… … .’
The destination I originally wanted to go to and the destination the kidnappers wanted to take me to were the same.
This is definitely not something to be taken lightly.
Moreover, it’s not something that has anything to do with me at all… … .
‘I’m so grateful that there’s nothing else I can say for saving me! But, I know it’s a really shameless request, but could you please take me to that place called Gaul… … .’
“Follow me.”
‘yes?’
Her eyes opened wide like a surprised rabbit.
“Follow me. Anyway, if you want to meet your clan members again, you have to go to Ghaul. “I’ll take you there, so just follow me.”
She opened her mouth for a moment as if she had not expected it at all, but soon nodded her head vigorously with a bright smile.
‘yes!’
Then he came to me, put his hands together, and opened his bright eyes.
It’s like being in an unfamiliar land with no idea where you are and accepting a proposal from a stranger that you don’t even know what’s going on.
I laughed out loud, feeling a little dumbfounded.

‘Hey, over there!’
“why?”
‘Isn’t there one thing you didn’t ask?’
“I don’t have any?”
I know why I came here, and I’ve decided what to do next, so there’s nothing more to ask.
Any information beyond this is just unnecessary gossip.
‘Aren’t you curious about my name?’
What else can I say?
“Do I need to know?”
‘Well, we’ll still have to keep going… … .’
It was quite a sight to see him writhing his body and begging me to ask him a question.
“What?”
‘Hastia! Please call me Hastia!’
She said in a charming voice, as if she had been waiting.
I just nodded my head indifferently and then turned my head again.
-chin
Then this time he grabbed my wrist and stopped me.
“why?”
‘how about you? ‘You should tell me your name too!’
“Just call me roughly.”
‘Where is that? A life without your name being called is a very unhappy life! If you’re doing this because you’re uncomfortable with being known to others, don’t worry! ‘I don’t plan on telling anyone!’
It’s not that I haven’t been called by my name in the past 7 years, except for certain people.
Although I occasionally used a pseudonym, I was almost never called by my real name, Sian Bert.
Of course, I have never told my real name to someone I meet for the first time.
‘… … .’
Her bright eyes sparkled mercilessly, as if asking me to tell her her name.
“draft.”
I said it suddenly.
It was very awkward, perhaps because it had been such a long time since we spoke.
‘That’s a good name. Please take care of me. ‘Sian!’
Hastia was not looking at me with a negative gaze filled with despair and fear, but with a gaze filled with pure emotion called affection.
As a result, I felt emotions welling up inside me that I had forgotten about for a while.
* * *
“Hastia is missing?”
“yes! It has been reported that all of her knights who attempted to transport her to Ghaul have disappeared near her Uito. She quickly released her emergency troops and tried to start a search, but it is said that members of the Garam Society were inevitably there, so a detailed investigation could not proceed.”
“Is there anything that can’t be done just because there are members of Garam Society? “It’s not like we don’t have people who use magic?”
In response to the woman’s firm rebuttal, the knight continued speaking while holding his breath.
“Well, that means there is now Lunav Rainriver in Uito… … .”
“Lunab Rainriver?”
As if she was a little embarrassed, she also slightly tilted her head and asked.
“yes. Since we were in a situation where everything could be discovered, we were instructed to be cautious for now. After she and other members of her Garam Society leave the city, we will investigate… … .”
“Please gather all available troops there and tell them to go to Gaul.”
“To the capital?”
“yes. “Anyway, her destination is already set, so if she waits, it will come on its own.”
“B-but… … .”
The knight, who was about to say something more, immediately lowered his head as if he had given up.
“I will follow the saint’s orders.”
Then, she quickly left the room, leaving the woman alone and offering a sacred prayer to the stone statue in the center.
“It seems like nothing goes smoothly. “Isn’t that why life is fun?”
The statue emitted a small light as if it agreed with her words.
The woman’s pure white hair, reflected in the light, was flowing elegantly.

A night in the mountains, the cold air brushing against your skin.
After finding a suitable cave to spend the night in, Xian sat down and started a fire.
Hastia was still wearing the cloak that Sian had given her, and watched him lighting a fire.
Having lived in the cold polar regions, she was quite accustomed to the cold, but as if she didn’t like the warmth of the cyan that she could feel in the cloak, she never thought about taking it off.
‘… … .’
Among them, Hastia, who was closely observing Xian’s hands, soon began caressing her own body.
‘It seems that Sian is very skilled in healing magic. Before I woke up, I had a lot of pain, but now everything is fine!’
“… … .”
‘Did Sian just happen to pass by where I was?’
“… … .”
Despite repeated questions, Sian gave no answer.
Hastia looked away with a sullen expression as she continued to ignore it even though she was clearly hearing it in her head.
I didn’t have anything to say since I was purely in need of help, but I still hoped that the relationship would develop through some kind of heart-to-heart exchange, but it seemed like he didn’t want to talk to me at all.
The moment she was about to sigh in regret,
‘… … ?’
Long black hair fell on both of her shoulders.
[Understand. My owner hasn’t had a conversation with a new person in years.]
‘… … !’
Surprised, she turned her head back and saw the black-haired, red-eyed woman she had seen in the carriage during the day smiling happily at her.
“What are you doing?”
[why? You said you were going to go together anyway? Then shouldn’t we at least exchange greetings so it’s not awkward?]
Xian asked with a very unpleasant look, as if he was aware of her existence.
Hastia calmed down quickly and then carefully examined her appearance.
Following the faint mist that followed her toes, I saw that it was connected to a purple dagger located right next to Xian.
Hastia, realizing something, clapped her hands and said.
‘It was the Demon Sword Master!’
[oh? Do you know me?]
‘Sure! He’s the one who saved our clan a long time ago! If you’re a white elf, you can’t possibly know this person, right?’
[…] … !]
At that moment, Kayram’s eyes wavered slightly.
“Who saved whom?”
Xian frowned and reacted in disbelief.
‘I’ve heard so many stories since I was young! In the war with the owner who was with me at that time… … !’
The Demon Sword’s cold fingers covered Hastia’s delicate lips.
Hastia, embarrassed, blinked her eyes blankly.
[It’s better not to say things that don’t need to be said. Kid.]
Then, he leaned his waist slightly, put his mouth to her ear, and whispered softly.
[If you don’t want to die… … .]
