The Knight Eldania S2
57: Eldania

After finishing the feast that Azel had with his mother, Eldania returned home.

[Why did he drive me?. ] Eldania's lyrics to the tall man next to her.

Within him he was wondering. Why is a demon like him, instead willing to walk together with himself who incidentally is a human.

The day had turned into night, and the journey he usually took alone, this time there was someone accompanying him.

" Your father and mother love you so much huh?. " Eldania finally opened her voice, trying to restore a state of silence like a grave.

" What about you?. "ask Azel back to Dania.

" They're gone. "in short never met them both, let alone her real father. His thinking led to where, was about the original parents of the body owner that Eldania possessed.

" Are you okay with their departure?. "

" I felt nothing about their departure. "because his life was used to solitude, it didn't matter to him. 

".................... " Azel brands the lyrics at a glance. " If you want, you can think of my father and mother as your parents too. "

Eldania stopped her steps and said. " That means sharing affection?. Thank ye. But I don't think that's necessary. "

" What's your excuse?. "

Eldania looked up slightly. The dark clouds were still there, and had already begun to envelop most of the city. " Covetous. "

Azel immediately understood the meaning of the answer. 

I don't know anyone and any creature. If he had gotten something he wanted, then there was one big chance he would increasingly look for it again and again. 

The desire of living beings will never be lost and satisfied, that is greed.

And Eldania, she's trying to avoid greed from compassion itself. 

In other words, even though Eldania wanted to feel the affection of a father and mother, she thought it was better to be her curiosity.

Eldania had already felt when she felt affection for something, and it had become more than enough to patch up that other desire.

In another sense, he does not really need affection, even though he is tempted by envy.

" All right, it's up to you. But the two of them will still be happy with your arrival home. "

" …………… " . He did not have the right thing to reply to Azel's words.

" When I come home I will tell my mother and father that you are my ally. " Azel suddenly said that.

" Make me your friend?. "

" Am I wrong?. "

" No, you're the third person to make me a friend. "just be honest if it used to be the same but the person who used to be more insistent and compassionate to make him a friend, he said, but the difference is this person invites him as a friend by saying it directly without hesitation. " Thank you. "

" It doesn't matter. Where's the hostel you got?" asked Azel. Back to a lighter topic than before.

" In district 2" he replied again. The key is already he got, but the problem is Eldania does not know the ins and outs of the city of Dilshade.

Unlike the Academy in general where the dormitory will be in the school area, here all dormitories for students who live from various parts of several countries are outside the school complex. 

[Wait....., if I went to his house, then this person is a resident of this town?. ] Heart of his. Eldania only realized, if actually from earlier Azel was his personal guide. [Oh yes, I heard her mother that Azel was not born long ago. ] Eldania again looked at the body of this man. [For where he was not born long ago. He looks like an adult in his 20s. ]

He became a little incredulous at what he had heard earlier at Azel's house with the facts before his eyes. 

_______________

Tonight.

Darkness while shrouding the forest had already become commonplace.

There is no fear of the darkness that often comes. Because tonight is the night for him. 

Special time for Everst.

At least this bird with brown feathers was named and called Everst by the only woman who ever saved him?.

The glare of his sharp eyes immediately looked at the half-full moon. He was perched on a rock at the top of a hill so that the range of his view became wider.

His solitude is his advantage because no one will know that...

" The letter came. "the flap of the smaller wing approached Everst who was standing on the rock.

This white owl does not care about the nonsense that comes from the mouth of a large bird called Everst, because its main mission is to deliver a letter to this one bird.

" Huh....... " His long breath forced himself to receive the letter from nowhere.

With his magic, Everst made the letter in the owl's beak fly forward and automatically the envelope opened with the contents of a letter.

Everst carefully read the contents of the letter.

" Which fool again asked me to be a magic knight?. "he said in a mocking tone, after skimming the contents of the letter along with the invitation.

" Are you willing to accept the invitation?. " Tell the owl.

" Because I'm bored, it doesn't matter if I have fun, right?" answered Everst.

_____________________________________________

To Mr. Lan Caster, if you are reading this letter means you have received this letter and invitation from us.

We declare that...

ACADEMY KLENON accepts you Lan Caster 

as one of the candidates selected for admission to the Klenon Academy.

_____________________________________________

And without another word, the bird immediately flew away, and in a few seconds later the owl instantly disappeared from view.

Seeing the owl knowing that he is Caster who can turn his body into a bird as well, he immediately transformed into a human figure.

" So the bird was a golem." he murmured, his gaze just straight ahead with a cold glare.

[Who knows about me?. ] Caster was not so trusting it turned out that anyone knew about this secret other than Darayad.

Behind one fact that someone knows his identity that Everst is actually Lan Caster, the golden blonde-blonde man was forced to accept the offer he got so that he could rest from his disguise for a while.

Then the invitation he gets he keeps behind the power Caster has. The power that makes it capable of storing all the material possessions on earth in a dimension. 

Apart from the invitation that Caster had saved, he actually also took out one thing from his power. His necklace. 

“..........................., you will return to your true owner. “ Murmured Caster while staring at the necklace that has a blue pendulum.

He tightly grasped the necklace. Which necklace, it's an object that holds all the memories of his journey. 

Caster. He seemed to be shackled by the past because of the events of that time. 

[It turns out the poison got to this. ] Her red eyes were darting at the necklace that was placed beside where she was sitting.

Actually in the heart of Caster terbesit annoyed also because it has a feeling that makes itself bothered by many circumstances. And one of them is guilt that never goes away, even though time continues to roll for centuries.

Caster slightly bent his right leg and placed his hand on his knee. 

[ Huh………. ] Caster smiled mockingly. [That she was just a woman of the commoners. But....] When he looked up at the sky which then came a dark cloud, his gaze turned fierce. [I must be troubled by this guilt. ]

After a minute had passed, the rain finally greeted Caster at the venue.

[The guilt that ends with the burden of his declaration of love. Basic silly. You died carrying that feeling, and I lived with guilt with your declaration of love for me. ] Caster immediately screeched in annoyance. “ Cih 

Caster took the necklace that was beside his feet, and then threw it forward with all his might along with his own grim face. 

Caster was upset with his own feelings. Though he was not a person who had personal feelings until that. He was not one to support a single individual like this.

That's Caster. But everything changes just as he gets the last sentence out of someone's mouth in his past.

“ Caster simply stared at the object that was floating down into the middle of the forest with a flat gaze. 

The necklace that Caster threw earlier from the cliff, did not become lost because it had first entered into the warehouse of his property stored in the dimension of the power he had.

ZRASH………

Heavy rain finally fell soaking up Manisphure without exception. Even Caster himself did not care about his body that was being flushed by the rain. 

“ In the end all changed. “ muttered Caster.
