Once Again Into the Light, Alone - Chapter 17

He stared at me.

His eyes were like he was thinking about something.

I gulped without realizing it.

It was not long before he finished thinking, he opened his mouth.

“Aisha.”

“Yes?”

I flinched.

Recently, I’ve been hiding a lot from brother Isis, so I’ve been pretty pricked by my conscience.

If he ask me what I’m hiding, should I answer?

I anxiously waited for his next remark.

However, what he said was a completely different topic.

“I heard that scholar Almin came here.”

My eyes widened.

He smiled softly.

“I heard the scholar called you a genius. I’ve known you since I was a kid, but you’re my sister, too.”

That’s what he said and stroked my hair gently.

“Empress Iris seems to have a lot of ideas about your future, but you don’t have to think too much about what you’re going to do in the future.”

“…..”

“Do what you want, no matter what you do, we will support you.”

I stared at Isis.

”……. yes.“

“I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

“What? Oh, yeah.”

I was a little surprised at the plain greeting.

He really left first after saying goodbye.

It was different from my usual attitude to stay even a little longer.

I just looked behind him like I was possessed.

‘Brother Isis….“

I borrowed a book and thought back to the palace.

I thought, ‘What is he thinking?’

Normally, it would be suspicious to ask, but brother ignored the subject.

As if he knew what I was hiding.

‘No, It can’t be.’

I felt my heart pounding for a moment.

It was impossible for brother Isis to guess that I possessed the qualities of an elve, that I had reincarnated.

It’s such an unrealistic story.

‘I can’t tell him.’

I became a little lonely.

If I said that I was the fourth princess of the Edenbell Empire.

Who would believe me?

Even if I were in a position to hear such a thing, I would snort because it was so unrealistic.

I shook my head and decided to focus on the book I borrowed from the library now.

I sat in front of my desk with a book, I sent the maids and the escort out because I wanted to rest.

Two kinds of books borrowed from the library.

One is the “History of the Elves” and the other one was a strange magic book with no title.

I decided to open the ‘History of the Elves’ first.

I thought there was a reason why the elves wanted the magic book so strongly, but what I needed the most now was knowledge about the elves.

Although I am a princess, I am not greedy since I was young.

I learned basic subjects such as social studies, arithmetic, and literature, I was able to set the time on my own.

That’s why I deliberately spare all the time today.

Just to relax and read an ancient book.

‘History of the Elves’

I took a small deep breath, reading the title in a nice ancient language.

Finally, the secret from when I was born may be solved.

About how much I can see the elves with my bare eyes and so on.

I quickly began to scatter the book.

The book was boring, but it was faithful to the theory in its own way.

The most interesting part was how the elve’s relationship with the human has ended.

‘The Elves are – – – – through – – – – to become……’

But apart from the interesting thing, I also couldn’t read it properly because my ancient language skills were too low.

Perhaps there was a fight between the elves, and the people were involved in it, but I wasn’t sure.

‘Let’s definitely study more ancient languages and read them later.’

I was a little disappointed when I turned the part over and scattered the book around.

This is because there was no information of a person who could see the elves from birth anywhere in the book.

‘What am I, then?’ [ T/n : a human ]

I could feel even more doubtful about my existence.

It’s a short knowledge, but I’ve never heard of anyone similar to me.

There’s no one to consult, so I don’t know what to do with this ability.

The next moment I was sighing, my eyes glistened.

‘Summon the Elve’s King’

The subhead was written in neat letters.

‘Summoning the King of Elve’s!’

It’s one of the things I’ve been hoping for and curious about the most.

Although the motives began with revenge, I wanted to know the elve that I had been with since I was young.

How can I summon an elve?

It was very difficult to read the ancient language, which is the letter that I couldn’t understand, but I could feel the speed gradually increasing as I concentrated as much as possible.

I pointed my finger and read the important part inside.

‘In order to summon an elve – – – is need first.’

What-?

I forgot to breathe and looked into it.

“If all of these are ready, the most important thing is…. ’

What’s the important thing?

I turned the next page with trembling hands.

’… It’s the Elve Summoner contract. It is a magic that has been – – – since ancient times, and it has the power to connect elve’s with this world.’

I see!

I was delighted to death.

‘In order to summon an elve, Mana is – – – (this part will need to be looked for later), and elve summoning is necessary.’

So, what does the Elve Summoner look like?

I quickly turned to the next page.

And the next moment, I was devastated.

However, In the last page ;

[ We will discuss the elve’s summoning contract separately. If you are a person who wants to summon an elve, you should buy a separate book about the Elve’s ]

I dropped my head.

’…. Are you kidding me?’

If the title is “History of the Elves,” shouldn’t we at least have a sample of the summoner?

I didn’t expect to be like this.

If I had been a human a few hundred years ago, I must have ripped the book after seeing this description.

‘Really, that’s ridiculous.’

I hit my chest with frustration.

I thought I could finally learn more about elves.

The Elve Summoning Contract book, it’s impossible to summon without it!

It was then.

Everytime I was so angry, these elves will always hover around me and come to comfort me, especially when I was sad or struggling.

— What’s wrong?

— Cheer up, Aisha

Little elves were staring at me and cheering me on.

I tried to calm down my anger.

‘Yeah, maybe because I got too excited.’

I’m going to take a break.

Thinking so, I put down the “History of the Elves.”

And it was time to call a maid for a cup of tea.

Strangely, I have a hunch.

“…….”

I glanced away and thought of another book I had borrowed.

A book with no title and no author’s name on it.

When I think of that book, where only magic circles remain, it’s really strange, but this thought came to me.

‘Isn’t there a reason why the elves told me to read this book?’

It is a book that was begged by elves who had never been so desperate.

Besides, really, just in case.

I thought it would be understandable that if the Elve Summoner’s was being informed by the elve, the author’s name would not be included.

Like oral literature.

‘Shall I read it?’

I still have more time anyway.

So it wouldn’t be a waste of time if I look at it once.

I slowly reached out to the book as if possessed.

‘Please.’

I was praying to God again unknowingly.

If it’s not this book, I don’t know where or how to find it.

It’s really hard to improve my ancient language skills.

This is because there is very little information below.

So, it should be this book.

Please.

I, the first princess of the Elmir Empire, prayed in the name of Luminas, the first god of Elmir.

And I, who opened the book.

It was a miracle.

This is because, on the magic circle in the book, there was written ‘Elve Summoning Contract’ in small handwriting.

’…. Oh my god!’

I couldn’t hide my happiness.

Now I understood that the elves asked me to read this book with all their might.

Basically the elves were lonely beings.

Afraid of being loved and forgotten by the people.

It must have been that he had hoped so much for me to summon him. [ The Elve King ]

I opened the book with a pounding heart.

This thin book smelt of old dust.

There were various types of contract staff, but there were some that could not be used because the ink was smeared and erased.

I was a little disappointed with that, but I could feel my heart beating again when I saw ‘The Contract of Summoning the Lower Elves’ written on the very first page.

I don’t know how much power I have now.

But if it’s a low-level summon, maybe I can do it too?
