Episode 61. ellis wert (1)
Early morning with a faint dawn.
A woman’s dark blue hair was flowing beautifully in the wind, blending in with the dim dawn light.
“Are you leaving?”
The woman turned her head when she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind.
A spirit the size of a fist was sparkling with transparent light.
“Are you sure you came out to see me off?”
“Don’t misunderstand. “I just found it by chance while coming out to get some early morning air.”
As if she knew she didn’t mean it, she covered her mouth and laughed softly.
“It’s unfortunate, but I left quietly, leaving only a letter saying I was leaving. “I can’t cause any more inconvenience than this.”
“It’s a nuisance… … . I don’t think those kids would think that way, right? “You seem to be shy in a strange place, unlike what you’ve shown so far?”
“is that so?”
As if trying not to reveal the emotions buried inside, she smiled.
“Still, you worked hard taking care of a stranger for two years. “I will leave behind good memories that I will never forget here.”
“I don’t know if there’s anything I can call a particularly good memory. “It’s fortunate that I have at least some good memories to take with me.”
The spirit’s words contained an inexplicable bitterness.
“Are you going home?”
“That’s right, but I have a place to stop before I go. “I had to meet the person who guided me until I got to where I am now.”
“I see. i get it. “Go back carefully.”
“yes! “May you live a long and healthy life, Marian!”
When told to live a long life, the spirit laughed as if it was absurd.
It was such a strange feeling that I didn’t know how to react to seeing a being with a lifespan dozens of times longer than that of a human and living for such a long time.
After saying her final greeting, the woman turned around and soon disappeared beyond the horizon where the sun was rising.
The lone spirit looked closely at the spot she left for a while.
“What a pity. Although he had a natural talent, he had the reward of dying young without being able to fully utilize it… … .”
The spirit seemed to have some regrets, and its steps did not slow down.
“Well, rather than living a painful life of being hit one way or another, it might be better to die early. Life is short, live it well, Alice Berth… … .”
However, all I can do is offer meaningless sympathy,
After saying those words, the spirit turned around and went back into the forest where there was no light.
Only a faint spirit remained in the place where the spirit stayed.

“Let me check your identity.”
In front of the castle gate where a long procession continues.
When I asked for my ID card to enter, the woman took out a coat of arms from her bosom and showed it to me.
“… … ?”
A golden emblem with three different swords crossing each other.
This was the emblem symbolizing the Duke of Berthe, one of the influential families of the Usif Empire.
In other words, having this itself proves that you are a member of the Berthe family.
The guard quickly opened his eyes wide and looked at the face of the woman who handed him the sentence.
“to… … .”
Navy blue hair reminiscent of the cleanliness of the deep sea.
Pure silver eyes without a trace of evil in them.
Even an attractive body that stimulates human instinctive desires.
There was only one person in the world who could look like this and have this emblem.
“Eh, Ellis Wert?”
Also known as God’s Child.
It was Ellis Berthe, the second child of the Duke of Berthe and a graduate of the Royal Academy.
“You may have graduated, but are you still eligible to enter?”
Regardless of age or gender, there was no great person who would not allow entry upon seeing that smile.
As there was no particular problem, she entered the city immediately after completing the simple formalities.
It’s been 3 years since I graduated.
Every time she took a step, all the eyes of those around her turned to her.
There was no one who would not be moved by the attractive appearance reminiscent of a goddess,
There was no one who would not sweat as the strong scent of magical power emanated from his entire body.
But whether you know it or not,
Ellis just walked along the golden road to the academy with a calm expression on her face.
The first place I arrived at, following the footsteps my body remembered, was the president’s office, on the top floor of the academy’s main building.
“… … .”
The president, who was working, stared at her face with a calm gaze.
“It’s only been three years.”
As if greeting a scheduled guest, President Kundel stood up and greeted her.
“I was worried that I might get kicked out, but I’m glad.”
The 16-year-old girl who was praised as a child of God has now, three years later, grown into an attractive woman who can easily be called a goddess.
Ellis smiled easily and sat down.
“So, how did you feel about exploring the continent for three years?”
“Actually, there was no such thing as exploring the continent. “He stayed at ‘Pruina’ for two years straight.”
“You mean the white elf’s territory?”
The president raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“I guess it wouldn’t be a land where humans would be welcome?”
“I thought this was the place where I could best think about the meaning of unity that the president spoke about. To what extent can my existence shine in a group full of distrust and rejection? It was definitely not an easy task. “It took a year for me to be truly accepted by them.”
Pruina, the white land in the northern part of the continent.
The white elves who lived there were a heterogeneous race that lived isolated from the outside world for hundreds of years and extremely rejected human access.
In fact, it is said that they became naked as soon as they set foot on them and it was not enough for them to be kicked out, so they stayed there for two years and assimilated as if they were locals.
I thought to myself that this might have been possible because the president was truly her.
“The president said many things to me just three years ago, right before I graduated, right? “Do you remember?”
There was no way I couldn’t remember.
Because he doesn’t give advice to anyone in the first place.
‘No matter where you end up, the organization and group you belong to is bound to develop greatly.’
‘So, you must constantly think and worry about where your existence will exist.’
As she was called a child of God and a student with extraordinary talent, the president had no doubt that her place after graduation would soon develop into a central force on the continent.
So the president made a suggestion to her.
Take the time to travel to organize your thoughts.
There was no special intention.
As an educator before becoming president, I simply presented a path for students to live a good life.
Ellis readily accepted the president’s offer, and after three years, he appeared before him again.
A determination that was clearer than before stood out in her eyes.
“Looking at those eyes, it looks like they have made up their mind.”
“yes. “I had to think about it more, but I felt that the answer was already decided from the beginning.”
Ellis’ words were accompanied by a somewhat bitter feeling.
The president did not bother to urge her, but waited for her to speak first.
“I’m going to the Knights of Light.”
“… … !”
The president’s eyes frowned a little this time.
Knights of Light.
It was a high-ranking knighthood of the empire that pursued peace on the continent, following the doctrine of Lumendel, the god of light.
Most of the knights belonging to the company were high-ranking knights who had reached the highest level as warriors, and were carrying out the important mission of protecting the continent from demonic beasts under the command of Duke Bert, the protector of the continent.
Actually, it wasn’t much of a surprise.
Most people who knew Ellis thought that she would naturally join the Knights of Light after graduation.
He reached 6-star status at the age of 16.
An amazing attribute value of 88% water attribute.
His excellent swordsmanship skills can easily defeat even experienced academy swordsmanship instructors.
Moreover, since the person who leads them is her father, it was the group that needed her the most and was the optimal one to stand out.
The president never knew why Ellis made that choice.
“In other words, you want to continue your family’s legacy.”
He wants to follow in the footsteps of his father, Duke Berthe, and carry on the family’s legacy of protecting the continent.
However, the president did not want her to go to the Knights of Light.
The reason was difficult to explain.
Affection for your favorite student?
The vain touch of an old man?
For some reason, it seemed like things wouldn’t end well for her if she went to the Knights of Light.
The president suggested a time for the trip and was very hopeful that her mind might change.
“In the end, that’s how I felt. Someone has to shoulder this task. I can do it, I can shoulder it, so I should do it. At least so that my younger siblings who are currently attending here can enjoy a comfortable life… … .”
At the mention of ‘younger brother’, President Kundel’s eyes changed strangely.
“Did you say younger brothers?”
“yes that’s right! President, you know this too, right? Kranz and Sian! Are they getting along without any trouble?”
The president could not easily come up with an answer.
“President?”
“What do you think about your younger brothers?”
Instead, I asked the opposite question.
Ellis suddenly answered.
“Well, in the case of Kranz, he has a bit of a vicious side, but I think he can definitely grow into a good man if he’s given good guidance… … .”
I didn’t really question Kranz.
“I don’t know much about Xian yet, but I think he has a great talent that I can’t explain. So I think this kid has a lot to learn! The only downside is that I’m a little timid… … “Why are you doing this, President?”
The president’s face was very stiff, unlike before.
Ellis asked with a surprised face, and after remaining silent for about 10 seconds, she finally opened her mouth.
“Something is wrong. Ellis… … .”
“yes?”
“Do you think you know everything about your brother?”
Ellis could not hide his embarrassment at the sudden change in atmosphere.
“Well, what do you mean by that?”
“Three years ago, I would have said this to you. Among the students who passed through my hands, there was only one student who I could not understand… … .”
Of course, that one person wasn’t Ellis.
“But now there are not one, but two. Coincidentally, they are both related to you.”
“What the hell are you talking about… … .”
-smart
A knock on the door was suddenly heard.
The president, who was looking at the door, let out a small sigh and continued speaking.
“That one person just arrived.”
“… … ?”
“Come in.”
-Squeak
As the door opened, Ellis’ eyes naturally turned towards it.
Dark black hair and sharp eyes reminiscent of the twilight night sky.
He looks similar to her in height, but is a bit shorter, in the late 160s.
However, his face was that of a boy with a youthful look.
Although her expression changed slightly, Ellis knew who he was right away.
“draft?”
It was her younger brother, Sian Berthe, the youngest child of the Duke of Berthe.
