The Endless System
Ch 53 — Past Eriana & Tohrei(2)
“He...great!” Eriana could only utter that one word in response to the old woman's strength.
“So can you explain what has happened, young master? I didn't expect you'd grow up so soon.” Ersila smiled faintly looking at Tohrei who was holding a girl.
“What do you mean? I found him while he was being chased by the monster, I immediately helped him.” Tohrei gave an explanation.
“Um, have I been able to get off?” Eriana asked with her position still held Tohrei.
Tohrei immediately dropped Eriana. “Ah yes sorry to carry you too long, I think it is not convenient.” Tohrei scratched his non-itchy head.
“It's okay! You just saved me! If you're not around then I don't know what my fate was.” Eriana turns out to be grateful, she seems not to blame the way Tohrei saved her.
“No-no, Ersila was the one who saved us, I was just stalling.”
“But after all you are still the one who saved me, what is your name? I'm Eriana! You can call me Eri!” Eriana did not reveal her identity as a princess.
“I Tohrei. Then she is Ersila, my family maid.” Not only did he introduce himself, Tohrei also introduced Ersila.
“Greetings, this old woman is Ersila, the person who has been serving the family of young lord Tohrei for many years.”
“Salam knows Tohrei and grandma Ersila.”
“You can call me by name only.” Ersila.
“Hm, fine if Granny Ersila herself asks.”
“Oh yes, Tohrei, can I call you Rei? Your name is hard to pronounce.”
“It's okay, I don't mind his.”
“Young master? How can your back be scratched?” Ersila noticed a large scratch on Tohrei's back.
“Ah this? I got a scratch on this monster and this is the result.”
“Uh, sorry, because I you so so.” Erika felt guilty.
“Nothing, this is not a big problem.” Tohrei replied with a smile.
“The ring seems to save you huh?” Ersila.
“Yes that is, if the ring does not exist then the impact will be huge. But because of that, the ring was destroyed, hehe.” Tohrei smiled grimly.
Tohrei shuddered in fear, he could only fall silent.
“Ah by the way, what makes you here?” Tohrei asked Eriana. He was curious about it from the beginning.
“I was originally on a journey in a horse-drawn carriage, but a mysterious monster came and got in the way. Everyone dies unless I save myself. Therefore I am truly grateful to meet you Rei and also Ersila!”
They just smiled in response to Eriana's words. “Also, how did that monster appear? Isn't there no monster around?” Tohrei was confused.
“Yes, this should be a safe region from monsters, as far as I know, my route is the safest route to travel between cities but how can there be monsters suddenly?” Eriya was confused.
“Possibly it was a monster that lost its habitat or got lost. This happens sometimes.” Ersila.
“Oh yes, what will you do next Eri? Do you have a place to stay?” Tohrei questioned that.
“I? I don't know, I don't know the way home, so I can't go back.” Behind that, he was actually lazy to return to his palace.
“Then what if you stay temporarily with us?”
“Really? What is it?”
“Sure! How about going to my house first?”

After that they walked to the house of Tohrei which was in the middle of this forest. It didn't take long to arrive because the forest wasn't too big.
As soon as she arrived, Eriana was shocked to see how big Tohrei's house was.
‘Isn't this more like a palace? How can there be a palace in a forest?’ Inner Eriana. Although she as a princess had seen something like this, but the palace that was located in the forest had never been seen.
“Come in.” Tohrei invited him in.
They entered through the gate and went to a garden. They saw someone sitting in the shade under the gazebo in the park. He drank the tea quietly.
“It...?” Eriana had just realized the whereabouts of the person.
“Mrs Elicia, young master has returned.” Ersila lowered her body, saluting the person.
“Hm? So you've come back?” The man responded. His figure is beginning to show. His snow-white hair was free. Her lentic eyelashes are also her irises are as white as her hair.
