Chapter 79

While packing a simple travel bag, the bandit maid and servants came over from Lu’s mansion.

Judging by the satisfied smile on the Head Maid’s face, they must have shown excellent performance during the interview.

“I’m leaving.”

“Have a safe trip, Miss Daisy and Jin. I hope you return quietly with Mr. Lu – without problems, without incidents, safely, alive. When did you say you’d be back?”

“In ten days.”

“Good. See you then.”

After packing our luggage bags, Jin whispered quietly on the way out.

“Senior, I understand the round trip alone takes 90 hours. Will we be able to find Mr. Lu within four days?”

“We have to find him. That’s the only way I can keep my promise with Raphael… Duke Jenail. The ducal family visit isn’t far off.”

Ah, the busy life of a maid with no time to breathe.

I entrusted the bandit maid who came stomping in.

“Please take good care of Weatherwax, bandit.”

“Of course, maid boss!”

The bandit maid reliably thumped her chest and winked at Jin with a warning.

“Hey there, butler? I won’t lose to you either.”

Bang. The door slammed shut violently, and Jin looked at me with half-dazed eyes seeking an explanation. You must be quite shocked.

“She seems to think of you as a rival.”

“Why…?”

“Maybe because you’re in similar situations.”

We headed straight to Midwintry International Airport.

When we got off at the sparsely populated airport, a man armed in black from head to toe naturally attached himself behind us. It was Andert.

‘Our airport was… Airport D, right?’

Still, having been here once before, it doesn’t feel unfamiliar.

As soon as we passed Airport C, I saw a familiar face.

A blonde man wearing stylish black sunglasses as if heading off on a vacation to some distant place waved his hand broadly at me.

“Miss Daisy! It’s been a while! Haha, how have you been? Your complexion looks even better. Are the Weatherwax Baroness and her husband doing well?”

Perhaps because of his naturally cheerful personality, he was a man who never felt awkward no matter when I saw him.

“Both are healthy. The master is too busy, so I ended up moving in his place. He asked me to tell you he’s grateful for your kindness. Please take care of us for the time being.”

“I should be the one asking for your care, Miss Daisy. This person seems to be your companion… Hmm. If my eyes aren’t mistaken, surely…”

Quincey, who had slid his sunglasses down below his nose, looked back and forth between Jin and me with disbelieving eyes.

“Jin… wouldn’t you be Miss Berkleygraytown?”

“That’s right, she’s my work colleague. Jin? This is Mr. Yegersee Pafnula who will guide us to the North Continental Union.”

“Work colleague…?”

“Please take care of us, Mr. Pafnula. I’m glad you remember me since we’ve met before. I’m Jin, butler of the Weatherwax Family. I’ll try not to be a burden.”

“Butler…?”

Quincey, who had fallen into deep confusion for a moment, regained his composure faster than expected.

Being the second son of a newspaper company, he’s quick to grasp reality.

Well, the world must be full of news more surprising than the heir of Berkleygraytown changing careers to become a Weatherwax butler.

After clearing his throat quietly, he now smiled a bit awkwardly.

“Ahem. But as I mentioned before… there’s an unexpected companion.”

This was information I’d already heard, so it wasn’t surprising.

No, rather it only increased my curiosity. Who could it be that he keeps dropping hints about?

The person who appeared next was someone who would be understandable even if he’d dropped hints ten times.

“Good day, Miss Daisy Pager. And Jin. I believe we met once at the noble council, though I’m not sure if you’ll remember. I am Baron Deshero Kontana.”

Deshero.

The man who had been Raphael’s long-time aide and my colleague.

I wondered if this was a dream for a moment. I immediately understood what Deshero’s presence meant.

‘Raphael sent him!’

That spy Deshero, really.

I narrowed my eyes and examined his face. Deshero, a master at hiding emotions, just looked tired as always.

“I’ll be accompanying you on this itinerary. I hope it will be a pleasant trip.”

I shook hands with Deshero with a reluctant expression.

Quincey cleared his throat quietly and whispered in my ear.

“I don’t know what happened, but it seems news that Miss Daisy would be accompanying as the baroness’s representative reached Duke Raphael’s ears. I never told anyone this news. Haha…”

Deshero smiled his perpetually tired smile with eyes that said he could hear everything clearly.

“Duke Raphael knows every story in the world.”

“So you came to monitor me now. Is that it? Someone who’s even a baron?”

“In absolute obedience, titles are meaningless, Miss Pager.”

“That’s true. I suppose.”

Looking at it this way, I felt a bit sorry for him.

To think someone who’s even a baron is still running around doing fieldwork.

‘That means he’s keeping a close eye on me.’

But if he expected me to be cautious because of that, he was mistaken.

I, maid Daisy. I go my own way as long as my identity isn’t discovered.

While I was at it, I introduced the two pieces of luggage I’d dragged along to Deshero.

“The baron asks you to take good care of these kids.”

Deshero, who had been eyeing Andert suspiciously, let out a sigh with rarely surprised eyes.

“Garrosh? Is that really you, Garrosh? How are you here?”

“Let me reintroduce them to you two. This one is my work colleague, the butler. This one is my sibling, the brat.”

Andert gritted his teeth, perhaps embarrassed by my introduction.

“Ignore her since she’s talking nonsense. I ended up accompanying them by chance, Baron Deshero. I’ll stay quiet, so you don’t need to acknowledge me.”

“…Miss Pager, did you form a sworn sibling bond with Garrosh?”

“No, we’re just siblings.”

Andert gritted his teeth again.

“We didn’t form any bond.”

Right, we didn’t form one. Because we’re real siblings.

I requested a handshake from Deshero and gave him a hint to hurry up and board the airship.

“Please take care of us, Baron. Please call me Daisy from now on. Shall we board now?”

Then I vigorously shook the hand that came up hesitantly and headed toward the airship.

‘Five party members. A stable number.’

It reminds me of old times and puts my mind at ease.

On a day perfect for an airship takeoff like today. What is Lu, who left me behind and ran away, doing?

* * *

This place is somewhere in the North Continental Union.

The man, Berdand, was walking a bit faster.

As soon as he heard the news, he had flown in one breath from Astrosia Kingdom to here, Caliphate, the Sanctuary of Roqué and the main church.

Though the sun had set and risen once in the meantime, Berdand couldn’t close his eyes for even a moment. As always, the ‘culprit’ of the news was selfish regardless of timing.

Really, as always!

“Caliphate.”

Those guarding the outskirts of the sanctuary knelt down as soon as they recognized Berdand’s face.

However, Berdand had no time to respond to their greetings. He squeezed his body through the slowly opening door gap and walked almost at a run.

“Caliphate.”

“Caliphate.”

The devotees permitted to reside in the sanctuary outskirts knelt down one by one as soon as they encountered him.

Wherever Berdand went, quiet silence descended. Due to those who respectfully bowed their heads as if offering prayers to God, another path was created.

The gray-white sanctuary with dome-shaped roofs rising here and there. Rivers spreading like blood vessels through the gaps. Large willow leaves swaying in the south wind and grains of sand rolling on the ground…

The harmony of gray-white and blue announced the peace of the sanctuary outskirts.

How could it be so quiet when the ‘culprit’ of the news had returned?

‘He must have climbed over the wall and entered without notice again.’

Now I’m so used to it that my tongue doesn’t even go dry anymore.

After passing through the outskirts, I entered the lowest peak among the summits surrounding all sides. As I stepped into the cool, breezy cave interior, long vines stretching toward the sky appeared.

Berdand walked without rest along the stairs carved inside the thick vines. It was the same even after passing the lights that illuminated the darkness and climbing up to the peak.

The stairs stretched toward the heavens. The staircase where two massive vines spiraled upward existed to reach just one place.

This place that would look like a giant tree hidden by clouds when viewed from afar.

The land of the gods.

The sanctuary without equal in this land, Kalerpa.

A massive door appeared before Berdand as he reached the end of the stairs. As if permitting his visit, the door slowly opened with a heavy sound.

Beyond the paradise beautiful enough to make one’s eyes widen stood a silver-haired man dressed in white robes.

“Urdr.”

Berdand approached the man, Urdr, with light steps.

Though it was a greeting that didn’t hide his joy, Urdr’s gaze flashing behind his glasses was only cold.

“You’ve crawled your way in here stubbornly without even being summoned by Lord Caleph.”

After giving him a rebuke, he walked ahead nonchalantly. Berdand was dumbfounded.

“What kind of person are you to speak like that even when talking?”

“I have no kind words for a bastard who usually wanders around outside and doesn’t even care for the sanctuary.”

“Caring for the sanctuary is your role.”

“It’s your duty as well.”

Urdr’s words were right.

In reality, the three Kalerpa who are the leaders of Loqwe have the duty to manage the sanctuary, Kalerpa. However, since the other two had been away for a long time, Urdr alone was enduring that role.

“…Haven’t you heard any news from Skuld yet?”

The three Caliphs of Loqwe.

Secretary Urdr.

Commander Berdand.

Guide Skuld.

And the great demigod who watches over the three of them, Lord Caleph.

Among them, it had already been four years since Skuld departed for the Southern Continent to find the relics of Dian Ket. By now, word should have come that he had recovered at least two or more, but it was strange that it was still quiet.

“It’s just as you know.”

It meant it was quiet today as well.

“Right, that’s fine. What business suddenly brought Lord Caleph back? I was certain we wouldn’t see him for several years.”

“Don’t get excited like a child. Have we ever dared to foresee that person’s will? If you’re curious, just shut your mouth and follow.”
