Chapter 26
I was alone in Cheswind, but this time I was less scared because I had companions.
As the tension eased, my body lost its strength and I stumbled and almost fell, but Erica and Sally each grabbed my arms and supported me.
“Haa, I thought I was going to die from fear.”
Sally stumbled, unable to control her body as if her legs had lost their strength. Erica also wiped away her cold sweat.
“By the way, what does Melody do?”
“Yeah. What did you do before you came to school? Were you in a convent? If not a priest, a shaman?”
I was bewildered by Erica’s barrage of questions. A priest is one thing, but what about a shaman?
“No, Erica. The shaman lineage is currently only passed down to the Duke of Lauderdale and the Earl of Clarendon. Then Melody should be a noble.”
Erica continued to explain, since I still couldn't understand Sally's words.
"The two families are famous for sealing evil spirits together with Sister Gloria 100 years ago. Let's talk about that later, but thanks to you, I survived, Melody. Thank you."
"Thank you, Melody."
Sally started to cry as she thanked me. Erica's eyes, which seemed to be free of tears, also turned red.
