Episode 24.5

“I see your eyes are red.”

The old man gently swept my eyes with his fingertips.

As I stepped back with a start, Marilyn stepped forward as if to protect me.

"It's been red since birth, hasn't it?"

He looked away from me and looked back at her.

“Yes, it’s very clear and vivid ruby-like red eyes”

“Hmm.”

‘What are you so disappointed for?’

The old man's aura shakes finely as if flustered. He passed me to Marilyn and clicked his tongue as he got up from his seat. 

"I guess I didn't see it well at the time because the banquet hall was dark."

“What?”

"I wonder if you are the savior of the north."

'The Savior of the North? I've heard that somewhere.'

"Lagrange worships the devil, and Euclid has the sun god. But there are people who believe in Eredia, called the Prophet."

As if he were one of them, the old man waved his cane from side to side.

"There was a prophecy that the child who would save the North had blue eyes."

‘Ah.’

Only then did I remember that the old man was talking about the oracle's child.

‘The Saint Charlotte.’

The heroine who will save Dietrich.

‘But why is he looking for her in Lagrange?'

“Hmm. In the end, Camille must have failed.”
