Evelyn’s blue eyes bent as she watched the two children entering together in the Fleur Dining Hall.
“Seems like you met in the way and came together. Come and sit down.”
“Yes.”
The elongated rectangular dining table had two pairs of chairs on its three sides, making it good to sit in pairs. At the top of the table, Evelyn and Gillard were sitting side by side.
“You two can sit there. It’s been a while since you’ve seen each other. Did you say hello?”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
“Leoni are you happy to see your sister? How much did you chase after Luciel when you were younger……cute guy.”
Gillard said while smiling haphazardly and rubbing the corner of his chin. But Leoni was still sullen and cold.
“……I don’t remember.”
“It’s because he was too young.”
Leoni replied at his cool wind. Then, when Luciel tried to pull the chair to sit down, he turned to the other side of the table and sat down.
She didn’t expect that Leoni would grow apart so coldly, so she couldn’t get any closer and was careful.
‘When we were young, we touched each other’s cheeks and slept together, and he was so cute running around calling sister here and there.’
His eyes met Luciel’s, but Leoni turned his head to another place as if he was running away.
‘Maybe he is angry with me for something?’
Luciel, who suddenly looked up at the ceiling reflected on the marble table, was amazed.
A chandelier made with stained glass technique was hung. It was a chandelier pouring out a dazzling light, with a trumpet-blowing angel hanging from it.
The high-quality, delicate glass craft was not lacking even if it was to be presented to the Imperial Family.
“This…was this made in Hamel’s workshop?”
Evelyn smiled and spoke with her characteristic blue mysterious eyes.
“It is. I personally visited and placed a request, but I had a hard time trying to manage to pay for it. I mean, the only thing I heard is that he owns a lot to our family.”
“Ah……Ugh, Mr. Max, he doesn’t have to do that.”
“Still, I paid for it fair and square. Because I cannot receive such a precious thing without a price.”
“That’s right.”
“Oh, and the man named Max asked me to give this to you.”
Evelyn held out a thick yellow envelope.
“Oh, is it a letter?”
If it was a regular letter, he could have sent it to my name, but to deliver like this, Luciel wondered what it was, but soon after, the Duke and Soliaphe arrived together, so Luciel took the envelope and set it aside.
Soliaphe, who was sitting next to Leoni, turned to Luciel’s purple dress.
“Luciel, that dress is…….”
“Bessie brought it to me. She said it was the dress you wore when you were young, right?”
Luciel spun around for a moment so that the dress could be seen.
“That’s right. I wore it when I was younger than you, but it fits Luciel perfectly. It’s the only dress I liked and cherished…… I’d wear it on the day I went to social parties, I’d go out on the terrace, hide, and come back later, almost at the end.”
As Soliaphe recalled her childhood days, she said.
“Because you don’t like parties, right?”
“You remember. I heard that furniture is more urgent than that, so why not use the furniture enchanted with shrinking magic first? Since you’re wearing my dress, I don’t think there’s much you can wear right now.”
“What. Luciel has no dresses to wear? Shall we go out tomorrow and buy a clothing store in town?”
The Duke said that with an ashen face that seemed to be hit by an earthquake. Luciel shook her hand in astonishment at the news that he was going to buy her a clothing store.
“No, thank you Dad, but I will decline. I’ve bought a few sets. When I was young, I had a lot of clothes, it’s a waste as I grew older.”
“Luciel, it would be nice to have a dedicated Taylor from now on. Because Soliaphe and I have our own. They can even do repair magic. First of all, we need things to wear right away, so one of the ways is to adjust with magic the size of dresses you wore as a child to fit your new size.”
“There’s magic like that, really?”
“Yes, it’s not very used because it’s an expensive magic that only lasts for a few days.”
Well, if it was easy to come across such magic, clothing stores might have gone bankrupt by now.
But the thought of dresses and clothes were erased from Luciel’s mind. Soon the dinner was spread out on the table.
Starting with the appetizer of a fragrant southern seafood salad with octopus, clams, olives and lettuce, raw salmon, and oysters served with lemon came out to boost appetite.
“Eat a lot. Today is a Southern Caribbean Seafood diet.”
“Ah, this is my first time trying Southern cuisine.”
Luciel savored the dish on the plate with a face full of anticipation. It was refreshing and fresh, and it melted in her mouth.
“Wow, it’s delicious.”
“Chief Seth has been on a business trip to the South for a while, and it seems she has been learning the recipe. I heard that she was only thinking about when you would come back.”
“Oh, I see.”
At Soliaphe’s words, Luciel was so moved that she almost spilled her jewels, but barely endured it.
Over the years, Luciel has been training little by little to control her emotions because she had to face other people in order to live in the Tower.
Thanks to this, grandmother’s dragon mana amulet has been kept in good condition since the Literature Salon.
There were three drinks prepared: light white wine, an apple-flavored sparkling drink, and almond milk.
Looking at the adults, she reached for an apple drink with sparkling water, and the Duke next to her quietly pushed Luciel a bottle of milk.
“Luciel, no matter how much you grew up, to drink…dad’s not ready.”
“Oh……This is not alcohol, Dad.”
Luciel laughed lightly. It was a drink with magic that bubbled it up, but he must have misunderstood. After tasting it once, he agreed.
After a while, Chef Seth pulled the tray herself and brought other dishes.
“Little Madam, I am glad that you are back. We prepared only the best dishes in particular, so please look forward to it.”
“Wow, thank you for the food. Chef Seth.”
Chef Seth specially brought sous-vide steak, lobster, and crab dishes for Luciel.
Luciel, who swallowed her saliva at the appetizing visuals, now forgot everything about the Towers meals.
After finishing the meal she was so full that she couldn’t even eat dessert, Luciel went for a walk with Evelyn to digest.
“Luciel, I have something to give you.”
“For me?”
Her grandmother would always warm-heartedly give many things to Luciel.
She too was actually about to give Evelyn and Soliaphe a small gift, which she remembered putting it at the bottom of her luggage bag.
“I have one, too, but I’ll bring it to you later. But what else are you going to give me today?”
Evelyn smiled and held out a basket. Along with a letter was a fruit with a very hard shell.
Luciel, who recognized the writing on the envelope at once, understood that it was a letter from Kizef, and jumped with joy.
“This is a letter from Kizef! Have you been to Dracan?”
Seeing Luciel with her big eyes, Evelyn nodded her head and said.
“Yes, I was going to deliver the letter to the tower, but I waited for you to come.”
Luciel took Evelyn’s hand and asked, worried and curious at the same time.
“Grandma, is Kizef all right?”
“Of course, he’s very healthy. It looks like he is going through the final ordeal. Still, I’m glad that the letters you sent from the tower seem to give him strength.”
Her heart raced as she was looking forward to the day she would meet Kizef again. Because Luciel has been waiting for his return more than anyone else.
Even though Luciel’s heart ached when Evelyn said he was going through an ordeal, she smiled brightly when she heard that her letter gave him strength.
“I see……I’m really happy to hear it. I’ve tried to imagine many times how he’s spending his time and how he’s going to look like, but I can’t imagine it.”
“You will be amazed to see how strong and wonderful of a man Kizef has grown into.”
“Thank you, Grandma! I’ll go ahead to my room to open the letter.”
“Go on, Luciel.”
When Evelyn saw Luciel like that, she became sentimental.
“This is all……this wouldn’t have happened without that child.”
Luciel, with a pounding heart, turned towards the private residence, but soon she could not contain her curiosity and checked the letter. Indeed, it was a letter she had not received in a long time.
[To Luciel.
I thought time went by slowly, but looking back it seems to have gone by like crazy.
It took me quite a while to get the dragon’s power and adapt it to my body.
It’s still awkward because it doesn’t seem like me, but I’m gradually getting used to it.
Now I have passed the wall of training. I have one final exam left, and I’m not sure if I’ll do it well, but I’m going to try it. No, I will definitely make it happen and run back to you.
Luciel, give me strength.
With your support, I think I can do anything.
I found a cute constellation while looking endlessly in your direction while gazing at Dracan’s sky.
When I connected the groups of stars rising at dawn when there was no one around, I could picture something I knew.
I named it Snow Rabbit.
Because you are always my star
I hope to see you soon.
P.s. Plant that fruit.]
After reading Kizef’s entire letter alone in the garden before returning to her room, tears welled up in her eyes.
Luciel couldn’t stop crying at the letter that conveyed a greater emotion that the words ‘I miss you’ could not.
‘Did you miss me every night until dawn and couldn’t fall asleep?’
Luciel’s mana gathered in her heart that was aching and throbbing.
Ddorong, ddorong.
Sapphire and Obsidian were made at the same time and fell into the grass. Luciel picked up the black obsidian instead of the bright and transparent sapphire.
While away from Kizef, she made many sapphires out of feelings of sadness, but Obsidian was the first.
‘All of a sudden, worrying and waiting for Kizef became painful.’

I could never stop thinking about Kizef, who was having a hard time.
‘All I can do is pray for him from here, but I will do that again and again. Come back safely. I will do my best for the future, too.’
I tightly bit my lips.
Luciel wandered alone in the garden for a long time, then wiped away her tears and went back to the private residence.
