312 – Afterstory of the South Wall #2

━Coo, coo.

The pigeon outside the window was making a racket today. Elga, who had just fallen asleep, got out of bed and opened the window.

“Why are you being so loud?”

Flap.

A pigeon fluttered inside, flying directly into the birdcage.

‘A carrier pigeon?’

The pigeon sat quietly on the perch inside the cage, a small scroll wrapped around its ankle. Elga unfastened the scroll and read the rather welcome message.

“No time to sit around, it seems.”

Elga quickly got dressed and headed towards the royal palace as soon as the morning sun rose. Normally, it was just full of noisy or boring talks, and she didn’t like being there.

But today, she had a reason to be.

Thud, thud.

Her steady footsteps led her to the queen’s chamber. A few maids were guarding the entrance, and seeing Elga approach, they tapped on the door to announce her.

━Your Majesty, Field Commander Elganes Von Lioness of the Third Army requests entrance—

“That’s enough. Step aside.”

Ignoring the overly strict maids, Elga simply brushed past them and opened the door. It wasn’t locked in the first place.

Inside, the room was draped in cobwebs. It looked less like a luxurious and beautiful chamber and more like a dungeon.

“Why are there so many cobwebs...?”

Suksuk-.

Brushing away the dust and cobwebs with her hand, Elga headed towards the bed. There, her cousin was curled up asleep with a frown.

Was she having some nightmare?

Elga gave her sharp nose a gentle pinch.

Twitch-.

Her brow furrowed even deeper.

“Hey, Aira. How long are you going to sleep? It’s morning. I have something to tell you.”

“.......”

Even with her nose pinched shut, there was no sign of her waking up. How long could she hold her breath like this? Elga didn’t know, but she had no intention of wasting more time with her headstrong cousin.

“A carrier pigeon came from Deadbell Citadel. It’s under the command of a guy named Baldor, who once made a name for himself in Borgia’s army.”

“......”

No reaction at all.

Would she really stay asleep even after hearing this?

“Apparently, Theo is staying there.”

“......”

Seururuk-.

Aira’s jet-black, obsidian eyes opened just a sliver. Even though she was her cousin, and they were both women, Elga couldn’t help but feel her heart race a little.

‘... She really is beautiful.’

Then, a sudden flash of irritation struck her.

She didn’t say anything, but she probably felt some relief. This girl liked the half-fairy as much as a child liked a doll. Elga was also relieved to receive the letter, so she could somewhat understand her feelings. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}
