A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 185 – Women Searching for Him

“…”

In a forest a little far away from Noble Academy, Seluna Emeraldia was sitting on a rock, staring blankly at the sky.

She was wearing the same clothes she wore when she entered Noble Academy, so it must have been quite cold in the shady forest, but she didn’t seem to mind.

“What should I do?”

Seluna muttered to herself as she looked at the sky peeking through the thick leaves that covered her head.

She went through all kinds of hardships to ask Alberto for her forgiveness, and she reached the El Pario Empire.

And, while earning money for her travel expenses, she collected information about him, and she was finally able to arrive at Noble Academy.

She came to Noble Academy with only one clue, the name Adalbert and the White Reaper, and she found the right place.

The man she tried to ask for forgiveness from.

He, who goes by the name Adalbert Reinmed, was a student at Noble Academy.

And there, Seluna, now that she understood the exact concept of forgiveness, thought she had finally had the chance to ask him for her forgiveness.

But that was only her illusion

The man she had been looking for so long was not even found because of an explosion that occurred in a certain city.

That meant she would never have the chance to ask for forgiveness from him.

“What should I live for now?”

Until now, she has had a sense of goal and has lived to achieve it.

As a member of the royal guard protecting Queen Lumio.

As a diplomat who connects the Kingdom of Alberium with countries outside it.

Because she was a member of the Royal Guard and had the status of an unofficial diplomat who could legally enter and leave the Kingdom of Alberium, there were quite a few people among the elves of Alberium who envied Seluna.

But what about now?

Not only was she kicked out of the royal guard that protected Queen Lumio, but she was also exiled from the Kingdom of Alverium and lost her home to return to.

Once again, she had to gain the recognition of the World Tree, the mother of all elves, in order to return to the Kingdom of Alberium, but now that too has become impossible.

How can you ask for forgiveness when the person you want to ask for is gone?

It might have been easier for Alberto not to forgive her.

If you ask for forgiveness and are rejected, doesn’t that leave at least some trace of an attempt to ask for forgiveness?

However, what should you do when the person you need to ask for forgiveness is no longer there?

Who should I ask for forgiveness from?

Since no one has been harmed by the mistakes one made, who do you atone for and who do you ask for forgiveness?

Seluna thought that, although it was shameless, she should pray to the World Tree.

I think it was shameless, but there was no other way.

Since being exiled, I have not been able to receive help from spirits.

So, the only thing she had left was to raise her prayers her to her her her her her world her tree her her her.

Seluna straightened herself and climbed down to the rock she was sitting on.

She then placed her hands on the rock where she was sitting, closed her eyes and with her earnest heart she began to offer her prayers to the World Tree.

‘O world tree, our mother and caretaker of all things. Here, the prodigal son, who cannot even call you his mother, dares to utter your name.’

Her self-esteem as she prayed to the World Tree was completely shattered.

‘So, please do not ignore this prodigal son’s last prayer. I came to ask for forgiveness from the person who suffered because of my mistake, but perhaps I was too late and they say he no longer exists on this earth.’

As she looked back on her own journey, she slowly explained what she had heard from Prelda.

‘What should I do? Whom should I now ask for forgiveness and atone for? Mother, please take pity on this prodigal son and show him the way forward. After that, she will end this life.’

Determined to give up her own life, Seluna slowly concluded her prayer.

And when she lifted her head.

“Seluna Emeraldia.”

“Three, world tree…”

In front of her, the World Tree appeared on this earth with the help of the wind and leaves.

Seluna couldn’t even bear to look at her face, so she lowered her head to the ground and fell down in front of her.

“Three, World Tree, I meet you who is the mother of all things.”

“Seluna. I have been watching your journey from beginning to end.”

The world tree’s voice was transmitted directly to Seluna’s heart and head.

This was because, although she borrowed her her form her her her, she did not appear as her her entity her her her, so she could not convey her own will to Seluna through her her voice her her her.

However, because she was a divine being, she did not need to convey the story through voice.

“Have you seen everything about my journey?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Even though you committed a mistake and were expelled from the Kingdom of Alberium, you are still my child. And this earth is also my body. “Do you think I don’t know what’s going on in my body?”

The World Tree answered Seluna’s question as if it were scolding a child.

This was the moment when Seluna realized once again who the World Tree was.

“Then, despite my shame, I will ask.”

Seluna heard her last words spoken by the World Tree and had a glimmer of hope.

“Alberto Salihar Madern. Is he dead or is he alive?”

She got a clue from the World Tree’s words when she asked Seluna if she thought I didn’t know what was going on in my body

The World Tree knows everything that happened on this earth.

Then, wouldn’t the World Tree know where Alberto is?

Or even whether he is alive or dead.

Seluna clung to the World Tree like a drowning person grasping for straw.

Looking at Seluna like that, the World Tree quietly fell into thought.

The World Tree knew that Alberto was alive.

And, I also knew that he was working with the legendary hero Tarun to track down El-Romed and eliminate the gang members one by one, starting from the lowest level.

It is natural that it is believed that just one Sword Master can change the course of the war.

The sword master and the person who has surpassed the level of the sword master are moving together.

Even, the person who became a Sword Master was growing in real time by watching and learning from the enlightenment of someone who had surpassed the level of a Sword Master.

If things continue like this, we may reach a new level, beyond what Tarun achieved.

Alberto’s growth was not a bad thing from the world tree’s perspective.

The more Alberto grows and becomes stronger, the more likely he is to defeat the evil people who are out there looking to devour this world.

In reality, Alberto was recovering from two near-death wounds and was becoming stronger than before.

The World Tree did not welcome the suffering of the person who would save the world, but it gave the opportunity for growth and increased the possibility of saving the world, so it was impossible to say anything.

All the World Tree could do for him now was to secretly inform him of the location of El-Romed’s organization members.

And she knew that if she told Seluna where Alberto was, she would go find him.

However, if El-Romed captured her and used her, there was a high possibility that this would interfere with Alberto’s actions her.

In that case, it would have been better not to tell her, but having her live her whole life in pain by not telling her at all was not what she wanted.

The World Tree finally reached a conclusion and opened its mouth.

“Alberto Salihar Madern is alive.”

“Really?”

“However, you should not meet him now. “Never go see him.”

“Why?”

“He has a mission. He has a mission to become stronger than he is now. If you go looking for him, you may become an obstacle to his growth. If you truly want to ask for forgiveness, it would be right to wait until he can fulfill his mission.”

“All right. World tree. “I will follow what you say.”

Seluna was satisfied just that Alberto was alive.

The lifespan of elves is longer than that of humans.

So, as long as he didn’t die of old age, she could go see him again at any time, so she could wait long enough.

Just like that, the World Tree disappeared as soon as Seluna’s prayer ended, and Seluna was finally able to rise from her place.

“Alberto, Alberto Salihar Madern is alive! Thank goodness!”

She was so happy.

Even if I can’t be forgiven, at least I have one chance to ask for forgiveness.

“What?”

And behind Seluna, Nina Gratias Esselton appeared.

“Who is alive?”

Nina’s eyes as she looked at Seluna were like those of a person ready to kill someone at any moment.
