Chapter 3: Inglis, 0 Year Old (2)
Selena carried Inglis to evacuate to the castle and when they reached the gate, there was someone waiting for them.
「Selena! Thank heavens, you’re safe!」 「Irina! You waited for me!?」
Irina was Selena’s older sister which made her Inglis’ aunt. The two sisters shared a close relationship with each other and Inglis often saw her aunt around. Her aunt was the Marchioness of the Fortified City of Ymir, married to Marquis Wilford, the lord of this city where Inglis was born. And her mother was married to the head of the knight order under Marquis Wilford’s command.
Inglis’ new heritage was that of a relative of the Marquis’ and the daughter of the Knights’ commander. When compared to the heritage of her previous life as a village boy from a rural area, the difference was that of Heaven and Earth. Though, she was hardly bothered by the difference in birth statuses.
「Of course I did! I’m worried sick!」 「But you shouldn’t leave Raphael and Rafinha alone! Poor children, they must be frightened.」
Irina had two children, a son and a daughter. However, Rafinha, in particular, was the worrisome one as she was around Inglis’ age. Inglis had met Rafinha a number of times before. As fellow babies, Inglis had wondered whether Rafinha had also felt inconvenienced with her fragile body. However, her consciousness was that of a child’s, unlike Inglis’. So, in truth, that had not been the case since Rafinha hadn’t known any better.
「It’s okay, Rafinha has Raphael to look after her! Now, come with me!」 「Yes!」
Inglis was brought inside the castle in her mother’s arms and evacuated into a private room for the Marquis’ family on the third floor. It was much safer inside the robust castle over the mansion where Inglis and her family lived. There was a young boy around the age of 7 or 8 years old holding a baby waiting for them in the room.
「Dear mother! You made it safely!」
