Chapter 187: Chapter 187: The Deadman’s Ego 5

The people of House Elior had welcomed their little lady easily. She was a little lady that easily took their hearts. The warriors were stern and some of them were warmongers. But, among the thorns of this house was a little flower that brightens their mood, and she was an innocent, hopeful, and brave. Her legs may be thin and small but she had the courage of an Elior.

Einar returned to the household after being gone for almost four weeks. He carried the wheelchair and turned around, he started looking for the little lady. He found her near the little river accompanied by Camilla.

“Brother!” Layla said. “You’re back!”

“Young Lord!” Camilla stood and looked at him. “You just went up and disappeared! What happened to you?”

“Doing work,” Einar said, he turned his eyes to Layla. “Sis, I got the wheeled chair I wanted you to have.”

He propped the wheelchair near Layla, raised her up, and settled her down on it. He grabbed on to the handle, and tested it, strolling Layla around the ground. The little lady was all smiles, her cheeks flushed as her wheelchair gets pushed by Einar. Camilla, who was following them, said, “I have seen invalid’s chair all around the west, but to think there’s something that much better than this. They were made of wood and wicker, not like this. Ah, this handiwork, Old Tarsus?”

“Yeah, I asked him to make this,” Einar patted Layla’s head. “This should make things easier for Layla, and she can move. I will be assisting her through thick and thin. That is my solemn duty now.”

“I see. Where’s father and mother?”

“They are discussing things with the local lords. Young Lord, the situation inside the tower is dire. Although the protective barriers are holding on, and the tower itself is fighting this monstrous being. It wouldn’t take too long for the monster to reach the inner floors.”

“So are they going to intercept the monsters?”

“They plan to stop the monster in one of the floors. The five heavenly children are going to take part in the battle. Lady Rubina won’t be participating in the raid. However, there’s going to be help coming outside of the city, and we aren’t too proud not to accept help from the nearby nations.”

“That dangerous. Then Father and Mother are going to battle. What about Sir Bors?”

“He’ll be joining the fight. Young Lord, I know that you are working for Lady Claudia, and since she’s among the children of the tower, it wouldn’t be surprising if she joins the fight as well. What I’m worried about is how the politics of the siblings will affect the operation. Young Lord, I won’t ask about the bandolier filled with throwing knives. I just ask you to be careful all the time.”

“I will be careful,” Einar pushed the wheelchair. “But I also need to be bold about this. The feud between the siblings, and then the monster trying to break out. There’s no end to them, huh.”

Camilla said, “That’s why I asked you to tread lightly, Young Lord. They are children who are eager for support and that is you must only belong to the shadows, that's why I am asking you this, please be careful.”

Layla became fond of her wheelchair. She used it to stroll the area of the mansion. She greeted everyone and graced them with smiles that they couldn’t help but feel their heart warmed up to. Camilla handled Layla’s care, and let the Young Lord return to his room. Einar surveyed his room, there was no furniture other than the shelves, carpet, and the bed. The table in the middle of the room had books, and while around the corner were weapons mounted on the wall. There was also a rack and a closet.

“Looks like the siblings are going to be trouble,” Einar thought. “They probably want to be distinguished before the raid starts. If they could get the attention of the visitors and form a profitable connection, then they would get the advantage.
Einar crossed his arms, “Lady Claudia and Rufus should have prepared for these scenarios. They’d probably want me to join them. Should I skip this trouble? No, I cannot do that.”

He recalled the loyalty that he had, “I will not abandon the promise to help Claudia and the others. They’ve treated me as a friend, and I want to keep promise despite how bleak things may become.”

There was sunlight entering through the window. Einar trained his gaze on the shadows that formed on the floor. He thought, “That monster occupies the tower, and the other monsters, who are trying to escape, are probably going to follow the being that has made its way to the top, as well. We are going to need the army and if anything, we might have to fight to the death. The being that has appeared in the tower is undoubtedly strong and is deadly enough to scare the monsters away.  ”

He thought, “I’ve been through this but if this being can drive the monsters to despair. Then I will have to rely on myself and make sure that Claudia and the others can be safe. But if the heaven favored children will help then there should be a problem, they are well-versed in fighting and in this world, there are none that could easily compete with them other than Lady Rubina. The wizards should be participating and would try to throw the monster away with a warp trap. I should be careful."

The Tower o Nimrod has always been a proud city that did not ask for help ever since the day it was built. The four cities have been able to keep the City safe. However, the current situation was too dire that the thought of pride was not counted among. The last time the tower was sealed, an Ancient Magus Dragon appeared and almost burned the city and the surrounding area. Thankfully, they were able to avoid the crisis. Nonetheless, the monster this time was a being that came from the bottom of the floor. It was a monster that has made the prideful tower of nimrod and her cities gather the help of the outsiders.
