Chapter 58: v4c1

Once everyone had left for home, there were less than twenty students left in the dormitory. Almark and Morgen ate their meals in the empty dining hall.

The dormitory was almost empty, as it was usually filled with many students.

Moreover, half of the 20 or so students who had been there at first seemed to have been on make-up classes for students who had failed their exams, and after five days they had happily returned to their homes after completing their make-up work, and in the end there were only about 10 of the students left.

Almark was one of them, and he was spending this vacation as meaningfully as possible.

He meditated in the mornings and evenings, went fishing in the forest with Morgen during the day, and went into town with Morgen to do some shopping. Morgen would frequently ask him out, and Almark could not refuse. In the evenings, he would read various books he had picked up at the library.

　(This kind of life is not so bad, Almark thought.)

In the meantime, Morgen was waiting for a letter from Wendy every day. Although she had told them that she would write to them when she arrived home, the letters had not arrived.

It was twelve days after the start of vacation that the letter from Wendy finally arrived.

"Here it is"

Morgen entered Almarc's room waving the envelop with his name and Almarc's name on it with great joy.

"It took a long time to reach us,"

　Almark said, and Morgen nodded.

“I'm sure she was having so much fun at home that she forgot about us.”

　"I wonder if that's true. How could Wendy forget about us?"

Almark felt something a little strange on the day the letter arrived.

　”Something must have happened.”

"I'll open it."

Morgen's face immediately turned cloudy as he opened the letter with a big smile on his face.

'Eh ......?”

What's wrong?"

　Almark's eyebrows furrowed.

“Almark, look at this."

Morgen looks up and shows the letter to Almark. Almark's eyes also see Wendy's writing at the beginning of the letter.

"Almark, Mogen, I'm sorry."

“I don't get it."

After getting the letter from Morgen, who was completely devastated, he read it.

The letter was filled with many words of apology and Wendy's typical attention to detail, which made it difficult to read the contents, but in short, it was something like this.

Wendy's father, Lord Elmond, is still in his 30s, but he is currently a minister in the Kingdom of Garai, and is said to be a great nobleman who will eventually become prime minister.

However, as is often happen with those who rise to the top at a young age, Lord Elmond had many political opponents.

One of them seems to have hired a group of people whose identities are unknown, and whether it was to bring harm to Lord Elmond himself or his family, or as a means of threat, it is unclear, but suspicious figures have often been seen in the area around the Berhaber family mansion in Garnentol.

If only that were the case, more recently, dead bodies of small animals have been placed at the gates of the house, and threatening letters have been sent to the family, hinting of harm to the family.

Lord Elmond is not a man to be dismayed by such things, but when it comes to his beloved daughter who has returned home, it is a different case.

Wendy was instructed by her father to leave and stay with Ward, the butler, and the rest of the servants at the Berherb mansion further north of the royal city of Galuentre, for her own safety.

Wendy wrote in her letter, "I begged my father to let me stay in Galuentol for a little while, but he was adamant that it was for my own safety."

　Wendy's letter also said

Wendy is now in a city called Miletus in the territory of Berherb. The only people in Galentol are Lord and Lady Elmond and Wendy's brother.

　That was the reason why the letter arrived so late.

‘That's it. ......”

　Morgen muttered.

"...... my vacation is now done. What can I look forward to now?"

You're overreacting."

Almark, however, could not hide his disappointment.

It was a shame that they could not go themselves, but it was even more painful that Wendy had repeatedly written "I'm sorry"" in her letter.

I wonder how Wendy is feeling now during her well-deserved vacation.

　Almark wondered as he stared at Wendy's beautiful handwriting i.

The next day, Almark invited Morgen to go fishing.

Morgen, who had lost all his energy, didn't seem very enthusiastic, but he took him out for a change of pace.

　The two of them cast a line in the usual creek, but on a day like this, they caught no fish at all.

　Sighing, Morgen muttered to himself, "I'm not going to catch any fish."

"The flowers are blooming so beautifully, but ...... my heart is still empty."

"Mogen, what did you just said?"

　Armark suddenly turned to him, and Mogen was taken aback.

"What?"

“What did you just say?”

"My heart is empty."

"No, before that."

"The flower blooming is so beautiful ......."

"Yes, that's it!”

Almark came closer to Morgen.

"Where is it blooming? The water hyacinth."

"Look, right there."

　Mogen pointed to a corner of the bush, which until recently had been a mere green bush, and sure enough, it had been painted a bright blue color.

Almark's eyes were drawn to the fresh, bright blue color that stained his eyes. He had never seen such a flower in the northern lands where he was born.

It's beautiful,"

“I've heard they bloom at my place, too. but I haven't seen them here since I'm not home during midsummer."

"I've never seen them before in my life. It's my first summer in the south".

Then he remembered Wendy, who wished she could have seen these flowers.

　(I wish I could show them to her.)

　 He naturally thought so.

　It’s not grow in the Berherb territory in north of Galentol.

　He remembered the look on Wendy's face when he saw her off.

"Let's go."

"What?"

　Armark suddenly stood up and Morgen looked up at him.

"Let's go, Morgen."

　Morgen looked puzzled.

"Where are we going ?"

　Almarck had already made up his mind.

"To Wendy. Let's go see Wendy and show her the flowers."
