Chapter 311: Breeze (2)



Chapter 311: Breeze (2)

“Here it is.”

Elune stopped in front of a pond deep inside the Orange Gate.

The white moon was reflected on the water surface, and a few fairies were already turning the leaves into boats.

“It’s Elune.”

“Elune.”

“Hello, Elune.”

“Elune, hello.”

The breeze fairies waved their hands upon seeing her, and their bright faces appeared to be more innocent and purer than the other fairies.

“Yes, hello.”

Perhaps all of them had similar personalities to Elune.

Anyway, after Elune greeted them, she immediately pointed to Jude and Cordelia, saying.

“This are my friends, Jude and Cudellia.”

‘Is this really on purpose?’

Cordelia was a bit angry that Elune got her name wrong again, but she endured it once more.

The face of Elune was too pure and innocent for it to be intentional.

‘She was originally like that.’

In Legend of Heroes 2, Elune hardly remembered the names of anyone, regardless of which playable character one used.

“Handsome.”

“Pretty.”

“I want to play with you.”

As expected of the fairies.

Cordelia smiled at their responses which she had expected, and pulled Jude’s sleeve as she sent a magic.

[Leave it to me from here. I’ll show you my skills as an experienced assistant.]

It had already been half a year since she met the fairies in the Forest of Eternity.

But in that half a year, Cordelia’s heart had turned darker, so her skills were far from rusting.

Coaxing the fairies after a long time was not that hard for her.

[Okay, I shall trust you then.]

[Yes, you can trust me.]

When Jude spoke as if he was in a play, Cordelia responded the same before she approached the fairies with a confident expression.

“Hi, everyone. My name is Cordelia.”

“Cudellia?”

“You idiot, it’s Cardellia.”

Cordelia nearly lost her smile at the words of the fairies, but she endured it.

She had already experienced it several times.

Cordelia continued with her best smile.

“I’m here because of Elune-nim’s introduction. I’d like to play with the queen tonight, what do you think?”

“The queen?”

“Playing at night is good.”

“I think we can take them.”

Most of the fairies nodded without thinking, but some seemingly smart ones raised their hands.

“But how did you get here? This is a secret place between Elune and us.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“Did Elune not keep it secret?”

“Did Elune break her promise?”

Their faces were still pure and innocent, but it seemed to be colder.

The fairies who were chatting with each other all turned towards Elune at once.

“Uh… That is…”

As Elune was at a loss on what to say, Cordelia spoke again.

“Elune-nim agreed to grant our wish, but our wish was to meet you. We really wanted to meet you, so we stubbornly asked her to do so. Will you please forgive me? Pretty please?”

When Cordelia acted a bit cutely, the fairies nodded their heads.

“It can’t be helped if it’s a wish.”

“I’ll forgive you.”

“You said it was your wish to meet us.”

The fairies shrugged their shoulders and let it go, and Cordelia put her hand behind her back and made a V-sign.

Cordelia had clearly mastered on how to handle the fairies.

But it was then.

“Uh, but what should we do then?”

Elune blinked and said as she turned to Jude.

“The winner of our match has yet to be decided.”

She had forgotten about it since she had been too happy and delighted when their match ended, but now that she thought of it, she recalled that a winner had yet to be decided.

“Umm… I think I lost.”

From Jude’s perspective, the situation was a plus for him whether he won or lose since he would get one wish either way.

But Elune shook her head at his words.

“No, Jude did not lose.”

“Then… it’s my victory?”

“No, you didn’t lose either.”

Jude narrowed his brows at Elune’s words.

But what Elune said was not entirely wrong. In other words, their match had no proper conclusion.

“Let’s make it a tie then.”

In fact, winning or losing was not important to him.

He had already mentioned that he would get a wish whether he won or not.

But Elune seemed to have a different idea.

“If you win, you get one wish, and if you lose, you get one wish. So what happens if it’s a tie?”

They had clearly not decided on what would happen if it was a draw.

Even the peerless Jude could not immediately come up with an answer to Elune’s question. But just like the saying “the student surpasses the master,” Jude had a student who was now very blackhearted.

“If it’s a tie, it means that it’s both a win and a loss, so how about granting two wishes? One for winning and one for losing.”

Valencia, Melissa, and even Jude were stunned by the astounding solution the smiling Cordelia presented, but Elune blinked again and nodded.

“Really?”

Because a win and a loss were the same if it was a tie.

“She’s right, she’s right.”

“I think she’s right.”

“She’s smart.”

Elune nodded more as the fairies agreed, and Jude furrowed his brows as he thought.

‘Did she become so innocent because of the fairies in the first place?’

Now that I think of it, you could say that Elune is like a large fairy.

‘The breeze fairies seem to be purer and more innocent than the other fairies though.’

Anyway, it was a good thing for Jude.

He saw Cordelia puffing up her chest while looking at him as if asking for a compliment, so he pinched the cheek of his beloved apprentice and then said to Elune.

“Elune-nim, can we put off talking about the wish and talk to the fairies first?”

“Okay, that’s fine with me.”

Having said that, Elune went into the pond and stood among the fairies, and Jude and Cordelia looked at her.

[Hmm… that kid looks like a really big fairy.]

Jude had a bitter smile at Valencia’s words and then glanced at Cordelia.

‘Can I leave it to you?’

‘Leave it to me.’

Cordelia pounded on her chest and stepped forward.

And twenty minutes later.

“I-I’ll give this to you.”

“Take this too.”

“How about this?”

After receiving the Wind Protection from the Breeze Fairy Queen, Jude and Cordelia succeeded in gaining various treasures the fairies were keeping.

Most of the treasures were rare and old medicinal stuff, but they thought it would be good to use for raising Lucas and Kajsa’s skills.

“Then, here’s the Fairy Chocolate.”

When she generously unpacked the chocolates they had brought since they left the kingdom, the fairies squealed in their delight.

Because the breeze fairies were so pure and innocent, Cordelia was more generous than usual.

“Well, this is fine. This is a free service while we’re at it.”

Having obtained the EXP Share, a treasure from the magic kingdom of Magellan that they were originally trying to get from the breeze fairies, Cordelia made a decision to offer the fairies something that they would love as much as chocolate.

She used to hate it so much that she had to force herself to do it, but she could do it casually now.

[You’ve become shameless.]

[It must be because of a certain mister. How many times a day was I embarrassed because of you?]

Jude and Cordelia exchanged magic while they acted on a makeshift stage.

The love story between the fairy queen and the archmage.

When the winter fairies first forced Cordelia to do it, she had a hard time as she was cringing and even acted monotonously then, but not now.

Like a certain mister had said, she had become shameless and black inside.

That was not the only reason though.

“That’s because… I… love you…”

A line that marked the end of the love between the fairy queen and the archmage.

She could not do this in front of the winter fairies.

Because she could not even imagine doing a kiss scene at that time.

Or rather, it was not only the kiss scene. Just the fact that Jude hugged her waist gave her goosebumps and made her hair turn grey back then.

[You were creeped out then?]

[Well… Actually, I was a bit nervous at that time.]

Cordelia cutely smiled and hugged the neck of Jude who drew his face closer to her. He naturally hugged her waist and kissed her lips.

“Whoa.”

The faces of the fairies who were sitting in groups had all turned bright red. Elune who was watching with the Breeze Fairy Queen on her shoulder also swallowed hard.

Silence dominated.

That was why even the smallest sound could be heard loudly.

They heard the sound of moving clothes.

Jude’s hand that was on Cordelia’s slender waist slowly moved upwards as he embraced her.

It was quite new to Cordelia, so she trembled for a moment. She soon felt comfortable in Jude’s arms and hugged him back too.

Since it was a little different than usual, her heart began pounding even more.

The fairies and Elune could not even breathe properly now.

And at some point.

Jude and Cordelia’s lips moved apart.

The long string of saliva that was in between their warm breaths was cut off.

[Is this the end?]

Jude flinched at her question, but it could not be helped. There were a lot of eyes watching them.

Instead of answering, Jude had a regretful and disappointed look in his eyes, so Cordelia cutely smiled and then raised her feet as she bit Jude’s neck.

[I want to do more. I wish I could touch you a bit more.]

Cordelia’s fingertips lightly tapped Jude’s firm chest. She sent Jude a seductive gaze that was more powerful than any other provocation she had ever made.

Jude’s face turned red.

He was seriously embarrassed and at a loss.

He could not even show the slightest bit of his usual sly smile.

Jude stared at Cordelia. His hand reached out to her pink lips.

But Cordelia gently pushed Jude’s hand away and sent a message with a bewitching smile.

[Sorry, time’s up.]

That’s it for today’s game.

Cordelia lightly pushed Jude’s chest and stepped back before turning around.

Jude was troubled at her teasing, but in fact, Cordelia was also troubled with the situation.

‘W-what have I done?’

I want to touch him?

Just thinking about it again makes me feel like my hair will turn grey.

Why?

Am I seriously crazy?

Why did I say that?

But it somehow felt natural.

The smile, the words, and the emotions at that moment.

As if this had already happened.

‘Haa… haa… Anyway, let’s calm down. Let’s calm down.’

Cordelia took deep breaths while completely covering her red face with both hands. Afterwards, she turned around with the best smile she had, but blushed once more at the sight of the still enchanted Jude who was looking at her with a bright red face. Her heart pounded at his expression that somehow seemed to be troubled for some reason.

‘W-why do I feel good though?’

Is it because it’s none other than Jude who’s doing that?

Because Jude is completely enchanted?

Can this be considered my complete victory?

‘Yes, yes, that’s right. I won. It’s my win. I won, right?’

Cordelia managed to resolve the confusion in her mind by repeatedly saying the same words. She cleared her throat and looked back at the fairies who were captivated like Jude.

“And they lived happily ever after.”

When she slightly lifted the hem of her skirt and gave a beautiful bow, the dazed fairies came to their senses one by one.

Jude also bowed though it looked awkward.

[Have you come to your senses now?]

[Ahem, ahem, ahem.]

Cordelia smiled again at Jude’s coughing.

It was indeed Cordelia’s complete victory today.

But it was at that moment.

Cordelia suddenly raised her head.

Because her extremely sensitive senses caught something new.

Something unfamiliar yet familiar.

A power that she could feel because she had become a fifth rank angel from Solari’s lineage.

Cordelia instinctively understood it.

The hidden power was revealed.

The play had raised the mood of the entire fairies and shook the mana of the surrounding area, so the hidden power leaked out.

The identity of that power.

Cordelia knew what it was.

“Fairy Queen, I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Huh? Yes, okay. Anything. I will listen to anything.”

The Breeze Fairy Queen sitting on Elune’s shoulder warmly said with a flushed face. The other fairies also seemed to be willing to listen to anything.

So Cordelia said without hesitation.

“First of all, there’s something I want.”

***

“Today is my complete defeat.”

At a small underground crypt hidden in the corner of the fairy realm.

Cordelia puffed up her chest at Jude’s words and smirked.

“I’ll remember today’s victory.”

“I will never forget it. Including what happened earlier.”

“Ugh.”

As expected of Jude.

Cordelia groaned for a moment at his sudden counterattack before looking at the object in front of her again.

There was a slab the size of an A4 paper before her.

“The third slate of Solari.”

If one collected all the slates in the graves of the Guardians, they would know the location of the tomb of Gallus, Solari’s champion.

Those who would find Gallus’ Tomb would obtain the last treasure of the Solari denomination.

‘There are four slates in total.’

They had already discovered two in the S?len Kingdom, and the last one they knew was in the empire.

“Good, good. I like it.”

Cordelia grinned and took the third slate.

Like before, the sarcophagus of Crusader Amelia, the last of Gallus’ three disciples, contained several relics, and they were in a much better condition than the previous two, perhaps because it was in the fairy realm.

“Then we just need to find the last slate, right?”

“Yes, there’s only one left now.”

Four slates.

Gallus’ Tomb would be opened once all were collected.

The last treasure of the Solari denomination would be hidden there.

It was not the Solar Blade.

It was not the divine sword Claíomh Solais.

What was it then?

What was the last treasure of the Solari denomination?

Jude had a guess.

Cordelia seemed to have a rough idea too.

Therefore, the two had very deep smiles on their faces.

“We have to get it somehow.”

“Yes, somehow.”

Perhaps the last treasure of the Solari denomination would be the most powerful means they would have in the fight against the demon followers.

“By the way, Cordelia.”

“Yes, Jude.”

“There’s only the two of us here, right?”

[No, I’m here too, okay? The fairies are outside too!]

Melissa’s words were not heard. Because Cordelia had already muted her from her mind.

“Do you… remember what you said earlier?”

At Jude’s question, Cordelia gasped and gulped, but she shyly nodded her head. She lightly bit her lips and sent a warm gaze.

How many minutes would it take before Elune would ask them if they were coming out?

Jude and Cordelia did not think of that for now. Jude’s hand rested on Cordelia’s waist.

***

The voice from a higher place looked down on earth.

She praised Maximilian who had reached a higher level from fighting the Sword God, and personally awarded him with angel blood.

The heavenly voice whispered to Princess Daphne.

Archangel Raguel revealed her identity and explained that the S?len Kingdom must step forward for the empire and the empress dowager.

And one more person.

A person who had forgotten the world and was hiding in a remote place.

He took a step towards the chaotic empire.
