"My lady there's a letter from the Oreal tower."
"Thank you." I was staring at the letter for a moment and decided to open it.
Lady Alesana Rosent Briele it has already been half a month since I cured you and what you've said really happen. So if you have time can you visit our tower tomorrow? I have something important to discuss with you. There's a carriage that will bring you to the tower, if you don't want to come just have a word to the coach.
- Leix Edmond Sigfred
I sighed. If there's something he wanted to discuss guess I will be visiting their tower.
"Lara ready a dress I will be visiting the Oreal tower."
"Yes My lady." I also ask some maid to prepare some cookies and cake. After I dress Mellisa announces that the carriage for Oreal tower is already there.
"Umm Lady Alesana are you okay going by yourself?"
"Yes, I will go now."
"Have a safe trip, My Lady." I smiled at Lara and get inside the carriage. I don't know where the tower is located but I think this will be a long trip. The carriage is now entering the forest and minutes after I already see the Tower.
Woah. It was a real tower.
The knight helps me and a handsome man wearing a black cloak welcome me.
"Welcome to Oreal tower, My Lady."
"Thank you. Uh, where's Sir Leix?"
"Unfortunately he has some urgent errand to run."
"What?"
"If you can wait before the sun goes down he will already be here." I clenched my fist. That dirtbag! How dare he.
"Sir Rowan let's get back to the estate we're just wasting our time here." I turned my back to that man and I was surprised when the carriage and Sir Rowan is not there.
"Where's Sir Rowan? The carriage?"
"Haha."
"The knight that you bring is just an illusion the real knight is still on your estate. If you want to go back in your estate in the piece do whatever I say."
What the hell? That rude sorcerer what on earth could they want from me?
"Tell me what do you want?"
"Let's just- "
"I'm sorry but playtimes over." my eyes widen when Sir Leix suddenly appears beside me and grabs my waist.
"Sir Leix?"
"Tsk. Don't you dare lay a finger in this Lady or else I'll kill you?" Are you not sure? And before we disappear in that place I get a glimpse of his true appearance she's a woman disguising as a man.
I think we're now at the real Oreal tower. The papers are scattered on the floor and a table that is full of magic equipment. There are also books and that's all.
The place is a whole mess.
I was shocked when he pushed me slightly and distanced himself 10 steps.
"Who is she?"
"She's from the Ivory Tower, and if I just got late for a minute you'll be dead now." He crossed his arms and face me with a smirk. I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"I thought Ivory Tower is just a myth." The ivory tower is located in the Bone forest where there is a powerful Enchantress. I read it in some book, there is a powerful magician that cast a spell on the tower so the Enchantress that lived there cannot leave the bone forest forever.
"That old hag, how did she manage to bring you there." He turned his back to me and I glared at him after three steps he steps backward and faced me again.
"You stay here, I'll be right back." and then he disappeared.
"Tsk that grumpy old man, do I look like a dog?" because of what happened I suddenly got hungry and eat the cookies I ask to prepare.
"So your the new apprentice of Sir Leix?" I shrieked and the man laughs.
"I'm sorry if we suddenly appear but who are you?" he asked me still smiling.
"Oh you're the good-looking man earlier, no I mean the enchantress disguise herself as you."
"Eh?"
"Ha?"
"Pft."
"You meet the enchantress of the Ivory tower?"
"Yes. Let me introduce myself, I'm Alesana Rosent Briele and Sir Leix has something important to discuss with me today."
"Hmm, it's a pleasure to meet you My Lady I'm Garnet Levant." Like Sir Leix, he has a stern expression.
"And I'm Sullivan Troan." And this one is like a happy-go-lucky. "So what's that?"
"Stop it, Sullivan."
"Here I bring some cookies and cake."
"Thank you!" I just nod and watch Sir Sullivan eat the cake.
"Hmm, yummy." I smiled.
"Garnet try it."
"Yeah yeah." He leaves the room and back with some water and tea. "I hope you will like this tea."
"Thank you."
"I love this strawberry cake, if you visit again please do bring this- owies Garnet!" Sir Garnet just pinch Sir Sullivan's cheek.
"I'm really sorry Lady Briele."
"Oh no, it's okay if you are not busy I would like to invite you to our Manor let's have some tea there."
"Sure My Lady."
"Tsk I think that the old hag finds some way to break the spell." Sir Leix suddenly appears. A mushroom!
"Did you put another spell?"
"Hmm, but we need to monitor her doings. She might be planning something."
"Leixy eat some cake." pfft Leixy what a cute nickname.
"Stop. Calling me Leixy, So where did you buy that?"
"Lady Briele bring it." I smiled at the grumpy old man but he did ignore me. How nice.
"You two bring these sweets with you and go back to your work."
"Okay Leixy, Bye Lady beautiful I'm looking forward to having tea at your Manor."
"Yeah. Bye."
"Have a nice day My Lady." And in just a blink they disappeared.
"So the Emperor of Orion is already back after one year and now they're currently celebrating, how lucky you are to guess that right."
"Your still not gonna believe me?"
"First, I think you hit your head while doing your sudden attempt of suicide and you might hear that the Emperor won, or you just luckily guess it right. And you might be a witch or something." I rolled my eyes at what he said.
"I am telling the truth. And I'm beautiful to be a witch."
"Tsk. Then you know who am I?" I shook my head, a new grumpy character. It's better if this is the last time that we will talk to each other. I'm a little bit scared of him.
"Here it is called Robes Amulet, it's really old but that thing will keep your mana stable and will protect you so wear it when you are going outside."
"Wow, it's like my eyes. Thank you." the amulet is shining it's beautiful.
"Let's go I will bring back you to your Estate."
"What what about the important thingy you said in the letter?"
"That's... Nothing." his ears are now red, huh?
"Uhh okay." He just touches my shoulder and in instant, we're now in front of the gate.
"Remember the amulet."
"Yes. Thank you, Sir Leix."
"Hmm." I glance again at the amulet that I'm holding, this thing will keep me safe? Then that's good! Haha.
