The Maid of the Grand Ducal House Writes a Counseling Log Today – Chapter 056
“The other kids?”
Did he mean other people?
Joshua quickly covered his mouth with his hands and shook his head.
But Sheila’s condition was critical…
“I should at least go tell the Grand Duke. Okay? This looks dangerous.”
“N-No! Sister, you really shouldn’t.”
Joshua went as far as spreading his arms to block her.
Even in this emergency, he was stubborn, as if she mustn’t interfere under any circumstances.
He wasn’t the type of child to throw a tantrum like this.
—Rattle.
“Is it here?”
The door opened, and an unfamiliar voice echoed inside.
“Does the Magic Tower not teach the manners of knocking?”
“Not really, no.”
Yulias followed him in, his brow furrowed.
The man, who replied nonchalantly to the criticism, soon spotted Elysia and Joshua.
“What are those two doing?”
The taut tension dissolved in an instant.
“W-Who are you?”
Elysia looked at him with a flustered face.
Instead of answering, the man strode toward the bed where Sheila lay.
“…He’s the guy who came to look over Sheila’s condition.”
Yulias crossed his arms and watched the man.
The Lady’s condition?
Then is he a doctor?
However, the atmosphere was far from ordinary.
Elysia pushed Joshua behind her back and took a step away.
“Fortunately, it seems I’m not too late.”
The man placed his hand over Sheila’s forehead.
It happened at that exact moment.
A blue light began to ripple and slowly spread like waves.
The light fluctuated and wavered in multiple colors.
Blue, light green, and then they mixed together to take on a black hue.
Seeing that black light, Elysia’s shoulders flinched.
“That…”
It was remarkably similar to the energy she saw when Yulias had collapsed.
Yet no one opened their mouth, silently watching the spectacle with bated breath.
The black color gradually faded, and before long, it transformed into a pure white light and vanished.
The man caressed Sheila’s forehead and whispered affectionately.
“You’re suffering so much for such a young body.”
“Is it over?”
At Yulias’s question, he withdrew his hand and looked around at everyone watching.
“Yeah. Her mana didn’t manifest; it just fluctuated. It’s because her body and mind are thoroughly exhausted.”
The man plopped down on the sofa and casually tended to his fingernails.
Yulias approached the bedside.
As if relieved by the sight of Sheila sleeping much more comfortably, he muttered.
“It’s a relief that the time for her manifestation hasn’t arrived yet.”
“By the way…”
The man’s gaze shifted crookedly toward the two of them.
“I didn’t know it was okay for other people to watch.”
Silver hair that fell all the way to his waist.
In contrast to his sharp impression, he was a man with a small mole under his left eye.
And…
‘He has the same green eyes as me.’
Recognizing the rare color, Elysia found herself staring at him with a fascinated look.
“It doesn’t matter if those two watch. Do your own introduction.”
Yulias glared at him.
“Is there anyone who doesn’t know I’m the Tower Master?”
The man said in a sarcastic tone, as if it were a hassle.
Yulias let out a sigh at his attitude.
“Haa… That’s the Tower Master who oversees the Magic Tower, and an alumnus who graduated from the Academy at the exact same time as me. Edward Dante Colin.”
“…Nice to meet you.”
Elysia bowed in greeting but couldn’t tear her eyes away.
That man is the Tower Master?
On the other hand, Edward scratched his eyebrow with a lukewarm gaze.
It was a bored attitude, as if all his business here was finished.
“Edward, this is…”
“Since the urgent matter is resolved, can I move now?”
Edward lightly cut Yulias off and stood up from the sofa.
Then he noticed there was one more gaze staring intently at him.
It was Joshua, who was standing behind Elysia.
Edward, meeting his gaze blankly, tossed out a word.
“You there. Kid.”
When he gestured, Joshua looked at him with eyes full of curiosity.
“I know you’ve had a hard time, but stop calling your friends. Cut down on the chatting too. The room is far too noisy.”
“Yes…”
Joshua pouted his lips as he answered.
Friends?
Elysia looked at Joshua with a puzzled expression.
But unlike her, Joshua seemed to have an inkling of what it meant, maintaining his sullen face.
Edward, noticing her expression belatedly, asked.
“What’s this? Do you have absolutely no idea what he did? Who even are these two that you said it doesn’t matter?”
Edward frowned, gesturing back and forth between the two of them.
Hearing that, Yulias tightly closed his eyes for a moment before opening them.
It looked as though he was forcefully swallowing down his surging irritation.
“Edward, it was you who cut me off when I tried to introduce them.”
“Did I?”
Edward shrugged his shoulders.
“This is the maid in charge of Sheila, Elysia. And her younger brother, Joshua. Both of them are the closest people to Sheila.”
Elysia bent her waist to bow, and Joshua did the same.
Edward paused for a moment upon hearing the introduction.
“Did you say Elysia?”
His eyes widened as if he had discovered someone he knew.
Then he scanned her from head to toe.
Elysia smiled lightly, treating it as nothing special.
“Yes, my name is Elysia.”
“Elysia? As in, the Elysia I know?”
Edward asked as if to verify it multiple times.
Was her name that common?
However, having never met Edward before, she kept her awkward smile and shook her head.
“Today is the first time I’m meeting you, Tower Master.”
“That shouldn’t be the case.”
Striding closer, Edward cupped her chin.
The green eyes met right before her face were so close that she felt like she might be sucked into them.
“Ex-Excuse me…”
“What rude nonsense do you think you’re doing?”
As Yulias pushed him away, the distance between the two widened again.
Yulias glared at Edward and asked.
“Did you already know Elysia?”
“…The person I was looking for.”
“What?”
Yulias frowned at the words Edward muttered absentmindedly.
But Edward was looking only at Elysia, as if completely captivated by her.
“Do you really not know me?”
“I only just learned who you are from the introduction.”
Could he perhaps be mistaking her for someone else?
“No, that’s not it.”
Edward brushed his hair back, seemingly contemplating how to explain it for a moment.
Then, as if something occurred to him, he crossed his arms and spoke.
“Do you still collapse often, or experience strange bodily conditions?”
“Pardon?”
“Bleeding from your nose, or feeling anemic. Are you like that?”
At Edward’s words, Elysia felt a sense of déjà vu.
“And I haven’t used the laptop since then. Um… how should I put it? I suddenly get nosebleeds or feel dizzy, though that might just be because I’m tired.”
[Did anything special happen besides the laptop?]
“If you mean anything special…”
[Normally that shouldn’t happen, but a situation where you might have unconsciously used mana. Or a target like that.]
…No way.
Seeing her reaction, Edward grinned.
“See. I told you I’d come.”
“Don’t tell me, the Owner was you, Tower Master…”
“I can explain everything slowly. Because I planned to look for you right after checking the Princess’s condition.”
While Elysia was astonished by the unexpected encounter, Yulias failed to manage his facial expression properly.
The subtle current passing between the two bothered him.
A relationship where they had a separate connection.
Yet Elysia didn’t recognize Edward at all, and rather, it was a situation where he had come looking for her.
“By the look of things, it seems you need an explanation about your younger brother too. Are you busy?”
Edward smiled pleasantly and looked at Joshua.
“Ah, I…”
“In that case.”
Unable to watch any longer, Yulias seized control of the conversation once more.
With a face hardened more stiffly than before, he spoke resolutely.
“Let’s move to my Office and explain there.”
