Episode 52 Let’s meet for the first time

「I mean, what does Aslan say if you steal like that all the time?」

Around the time Krashu was active in the Generation of the Sky.

Krashu asked as if he was absurd when he discovered that Aslan’s servant, Lirina, was skipping bread from the food basket he was supposed to deliver to Aslan.

Aslan is one of the most talented people in the Generation of Sky.

He was even the only grandson of the King of Flames, and he was the strongest flame mage standing shoulder to shoulder with Abella.

Lirina, his attendant, was doing such a thing every time with her half-closed eyes, so she asked in bewilderment.

「Yes, even if you know, I won’t scold you.」

She said and swallowed her bread.

「Aslan-nim doesn’t eat bread. That’s why I’m just eating it specially for you.”

For that matter, she was always eager to eat bread.

「You get fat after that.」

「What are you talking about? How hard do I manage? Can you show me? I am really angry.”

「Why is Aslan leaving you as an attendant… ….”

Aslan’s servants, Lilina and Krashu, were quite close in their own way.

Asland is also the generation of the sky.

He also had to go to the world erosion every time, so he was often cursed, and each time he was indebted to Krashu.

That’s why he and his attendant, Lilina, used to talk like this often, so they even joked about each other.

「That’s right, she’s the only pretty lady-in-waiting who takes care of Aslan. It looks good.”

「What is Aslan lacking in choosing her handmaid based on her appearance?」

「Am I popular? When I go down the street, I always have a cup of tea, and the gentlemen are always flirting with me, right?”

Krashu just stared at her blankly.

「What? Any complaints?」

「No.」

He himself said yes, so Krashu just let it go.

「You are always rude to me. Actually, is Krashu-sama interested in me? I’m in trouble. I’ll refuse. I only have Aslan-sama.”

「Thank you.」

After Lirina said that, she picked up the basket.

「Nothing else, but thank you for talking to Aslan-nim often. Aslan-sama also seems a little comfortable when talking to Krashu-sama.”

「…… It’s because he’s the only one who can talk normally.”

Lirina covered her mouth and said, ‘Ho-ho.’

「I guess so.」

I don’t know what I’m doing when my eyes aren’t smiling.

「Still, I believe that someday, just like Krashu-sama steals the curse, Aslan-sama’s inner thoughts will be cleared away.”

Even though he is called the Flame Emperor, Aslan always has a detached expression on his face.

Krashu, who had seen her face over and over again, clicked her tongue.

「…… How many days does he have left?”

「291 Days.」

After spitting out the number, Lirina lowered her head and left.

Krashu chewed on the number of 291 days.

Because that number was Aslan’s remaining life span.

And now, Krashu was looking at the current Lirina who had pushed all her bread into her mouth.

‘…… Does that guy not age at all from this point on?’

Krashu had never seen Lirina at this time of year.

The reason Krashu got acquainted with Aslan was after entering the age of the sky.

Aslan hadn’t even come to Racheln Academy in the first place.

But, strangely, Lirina’s face has not changed since then or this time of year.

At this point, it’s scary.

In addition, the old thoughts and feelings became strange for no reason.

“Soup and pre-dinner bread.”

At that moment, the clerk served soup and bread.

In the meantime, Lirina finished eating the bread, and she was going out with a basket.

Seeing that, Krashu knocked on the window next to the table.

Then the sound of something flying echoed outside along with the sound of a duck.

‘I’ll follow you well.’

Krashu looked back at the soup and bread.

Finally, Krashu also started to get hungry.

‘Let’s start with a meal.’

There is no way that Lirina and Aslan will disappear anyway.

Then Krache suddenly remembered something and turned to Bianca.

“Bianca, shouldn’t you tie your hair up?”

Bianca caught a spoonful and glanced at her own hair.

Then, with the spoon in her mouth, she gently stroked the back of her head.

As Krashu said, his hair was definitely quite long.

Since he came to Cheongsong Hall, he has trimmed his hair but never cut it.

So he had quite a bit of longer hair than the first time.

At that length, it’s just right to fit in your mouth.

Actually Bianca always tied her hair up before eating.

She Because Ellie, her maid in charge, always tied her hair up.

But Ellie is not here.

“Then tie it up.”

Then Bianca turned around and handed her hair tie from her pocket.

It was Krashu who had a puzzled expression for a moment.

“The soup is cold.”

Then, with Bianca looking behind her, she urged Krashu on.

“You can’t eat anything hot.”

Even as Krashu said that, he took her hair tie and pulled her hair back together.

If you pull her hair too hard, it will hurt, so Krashu pulled her hair up slightly and skillfully tied her hair up.

Bianca made a surprised expression when she confirmed that her hair was tied up well.

“You are doing well.”

“I learned it before.”

That’s pretty embarrassing.

Krashu glanced briefly at her hands that tied her hair.

Now it’s an old memory.

With the thought of having something to eat, Krashu took up a spoon instead.

The meal was quite satisfactory.

This is a shop whose strength is that you can eat well at low prices.

So that’s why everyone in the store was a commoner.

Fortunately, Bianca didn’t care whether it was common food or not, and she ate well.

She originally looked like Biancara, who had things she liked but didn’t really like.

After eating, Krashu went out with Bianca.

Just in time, the sky was setting moderately.

It was a meal just before dinner, so it was natural.

Food Duck!

At that moment, Krashu heard the sound of flapping wings.

When Krashu raised his head, there was a crow coming down.

That crow was none other than Crimson Garden.

“Cream.”

Bianca casually touched the crimson garden sitting on Krache’s shoulder.

As if they didn’t like Bianca’s touch, Crimson Garden looked at Krache while giving her hair.

“Did you chase it?”

[Yeah, I followed it well. It’s just like you said. ]

At Krashu’s question, Crimson Garden raised her head.

In the direction she was heading, there was a mansion beyond a huge mage tower.

[ The mansion is in chaos right now. ]

After hearing her words, Krashu reacted as expected.

“The reason for the uproar is, of course.”

[Yes, the grandson of the King of Flames attempted suicide again. Thanks to you, the mansion was overturned. ]

A suicide attempt by the grandson of the King of Flames.

The main character who made such a suicide attempt was none other than someone Krashu knew very well.

It was Flame Emperor Aslan Ygritte.

* * *

What is the most famous mansion in the magical city of Hallgram?

Everyone will speak in unison.

That is none other than the mansion where the King of Flames resides, the mansion of Ygritte.

Ygritte’s mansion was in the middle of a commotion right now.

The reason was none other than the grandson of King Yeom.

“He said he hanged himself this time.”

“I heard it was poison last week. What are you really trying to do?”

The maids who were cleaning continued to chatter.

Their main story was none other than Aslan Ygritte’s suicide attempt.

Aslan, the only grandson of the King of Flames, was the eldest son who would later succeed Ygritte.

However, he was unable to learn the flame magic that the Ygritte family had been using for generations because of his innate lunar eclipse.

But that didn’t mean his heart was bad.

Although he was mostly active at night, sleeping most of the day due to lunar retardation.

Because he was gentle and showed his own enthusiasm for magic.

Even though I can’t use the flame magic that Ygritte boasts, it’s because I’ve been studying magic steadily.

But one day, he went crazy.

Someone said that he was driven mad by the magic of the world eater.

No one knew the exact facts.

“If you talk about Aslan behind the scenes, the maid will scold you.”

At that moment, the two of them were startled by a voice from behind.

Because the owner of that voice was none other than Aslan’s direct maid, Lirina.

“Lee, Lirina.”

“We didn’t talk about anything!”

As the two of them ran, Lirina clicked her tongue while holding her basket.

It’s because the family ladies-in-waiting are so soft-spoken.

Lirina shook her head and moved on.

Then, after a while, she arrived in front of a door.

At that moment, before she opened her door, she heard her screams from inside.

“Sane… you! How i raised you… Place! Are you going to commit suicide?! Why… !”

Lilina knew who the owner of that voice was.

Because she was none other than Ygritte, Aslan’s mother and sub-owner.

I couldn’t hear it properly because it came through the crack in the door, but it was clearly a screaming voice.

But no matter how much she shouted at Aslan, Aslan didn’t answer.

Then she finally let out her whimper and started coming towards her door.

Lirina quickly took her steps back and the door opened with a jolt.

The middle-aged woman walked out with her red hair flying and glanced at Lirina.

“Did you hear?”

The grimness on her face made even Lirina flinch.

“No. I didn’t hear you.”

Even if she heard, it’s best to say she didn’t listen.

So when Lirina answered, she glared at Lirina and then turned around and walked away.

When she left, Lirina hurried into her room.

Then, with the fishy scent of medicine, I could see the blackout curtains inside.

After closing her door, Lirina walked back inside holding her basket.

A man shone in her eyes.

Skinny body and long, drooping red hair.

Even the dark shade under her eyes.

He was none other than Aslan Ygritte.

I could see red lines and loose bandages on his neck.

The marks were caused by his hanging himself in a suicide attempt.

“…… You would rather do that when I am around, I did.”

When Lirina spoke to herself, Aslan’s eyelids slowly opened belatedly.

He stared blankly at Lirina and immediately laughed weakly.

He seemed very aloof even though he had heard all the yelling at his ex-boyfriend earlier.

“Lilina.”

“Yes, I am Lirina, Aslan’s exclusive maid. Do you market I will prepare the meal.”

She didn’t say anything even after looking at Aslan’s neck, and set the food on the table.

Those were none other than the food I brought from her store a while ago.

Since it was a basket with a warming spell, the food remained uncooled.

Aslan slowly got up from his seat and approached the food.

From noble mtl dot com

He pulled out a chair and sat down, staring at the food.

Then I took a sip of the soup with the spoon that Lirina had set for me.

“…… That’s the store.”

“Aslan-sama doesn’t eat at all except at this restaurant. Lirina is working hard every day. So, please eat all of them today.”

“I will try.”

However, compared to the words of hard work, Aslan’s spoon was too weak.

After a few minutes like that.

Aslan lowered the spoon with the food that was almost empty by bite.

Seeing that, Lirina got up and put away the food he ate.

Aslan then went back to bed and lay down.

“Aslan, if you lie down right after eating, it’s not good for your body.”

“It’s okay. Thank you for your concern. Stop going.”

Aslan said that and just pulled the blanket over himself.

She looked at him, Lirina, then she put away all the food, wiped her table clean, and then she came out.

Her half-closed eyes stared at Aslan’s closed door.

Two months ago.

Aslan, who showed a bright face, was no longer there.

He just wants to die day by day.

Lirina squeezed the basket she was holding.

How can I get the boy back to normal?

Aslan is her exclusive maid, and she is the only one who knows why Aslan has changed.

‘Someone.’

Is there anyone who can bring him back?

Knowing that her own strength was not enough, Lirina let out a long sigh.

Then, she caught sight of a crow sitting on her window.

The crow sitting on the window was staring at Lirina for some reason.

Seeing that, she tilted her head and went towards her window.

Then, when I sneakily opened the window, the crow miraculously did not escape and she continued to sit on the window sill.

“He is a strange child.”

Lirina looked back at her basket.

It is food that will be thrown away anyway.

As she took the one piece of her meat left from her basket, her crow took her meat in her mouth and flew away.

Looks like they were looking for food.

“He was a smart kid.”

And then, a strange encounter between her and her raven ensued.

Since that day, her crow thought of her as her feeder, and she always appeared whenever Lirina left Aslan to clean up her leftovers.

Every time the crow took a piece of meat or leftover food and flew away.

After repeating it for several days, it became a daily routine for Lirina.

Today, after finishing Aslan’s meal, she saw a crow sitting on her window.

“Kkami, hello, I’m here today.”

Having given her crow a name at some point, she approached her crow with a slight smile.

When she saw the crow that didn’t fly away even if she touched it, Lirina felt a little healed.

“I am not the one who needs to be healed.”

Wouldn’t Aslan be a bit happy if I showed him Kami?

That was the moment she thought about it.

Suddenly, Kami spread her wings and flew away, and she sat down at the bottom of the window.

Lirina stuck her head through her window, wondering.

“Kkami? Aren’t you eating today?”

Cami caught a glimpse of Lirina and started to trudge towards her.

Lirina felt as if she was being asked to follow her, so she climbed out the window and came out.

Mysteriously, Kami didn’t really fly, but guided Lirina somewhere.

Lirina came out of her mansion before she knew it and arrived at a park.

The park she often passed by was also known to Lirina.

After passing through such a park for some time, a clam suddenly flew.

The moment Lirina lifted her head to follow her, Kami was sitting on someone’s shoulder.

Her black hair and blue eyes stood out with sharp eyes on her still youthful face.

In addition, her height, which seemed to have just entered the growth phase, indicated that the boy was in his mid-teens.

Kami sat on the boy’s shoulder and looked very friendly with him.

“Who are you?”

Then her boy looked at her and asked her questioningly.

With a very innocent face.
