    (EP-200.1) Flower Aira #1


    200  ssroom Flower Aira #1


    Soon enough, another early morning arrived.


    I briskly made my way forward amidst the bustling crowd, busy with the festival preparations.


    I didnt forget to check the time as well.


    Today was a pretty important day.


    I wanted to start the day with no errors or mistakes, if possible.


    Ahem.


    Stopping in front of a morous door, I straightened my clothes and cleared my throat.


    Aira-nim, are you awake?


    Pasurok-.


    A faint sound came from the inside. Was she still asleep?


    Aira tended to sleep a lot in the morning. Well, no. It was not just in the morning, but also in the afternoon and evening Anyway, Aira just slept a lot.


    Excuse me for a moment.


    Dolgak, giiik.


    I unlocked the door and entered, greeted by bright sunlight streaming through the window and the fluttering curtains. Ah, the breeze against my face felt refreshing. It didnt feel like a typical summer morning.


    Carefully stepping between the luxurious carpet andrge dolls strewn across the floor, I finally reached thevish bed, like an ind amidst it all.


    Who could afford to sleep in such an expensive bed? Queens or princesses, of course.


    And lying between the soft-looking duvet was indeed such a nobledy.


    Her closed eyshes were long, her skin translucent like ss, and her fingers that peeked out from under the nket


    No, I shouldnt.


    As fascinating as it would be to admire the sleeping beauty, as I mentioned earlier, today was an important day.


    Aira-nim, its time to wake up.


    I whispered softly into her ear, making sure my voice wasnt too loud but also not too soft, else she wouldnt be able to hear me.


    I was probably the only one in the world who understood the delicate art of waking her up like this.


    Aira-nim.


    .


    Seureureuk-.


    Her thin eyshes slowly lifted.


    Behind them deep, ck eyes glistened like obsidian.


    For a moment, I felt both awe and a chill from the depth of her beautiful, yet eerie, eyes.


    Soon, vitality gradually came to her eyes, which had been veiled by drowsiness.


    What time is it?


    Its seven oclock.


    You came early.


    It would be better to prepare earlier than usual, mydy.


    Seureureuk-.


    Aira stretched her arms out. She rose from between the flowing sheets and lightly spoke.


    Then, lets get ready.


    A still groggy Aira came to me, fresh out the shower, carrying the scent of soap and dampness.


    I gently wiped her body with a soft towel, before skillfully drying her hair afterward.


    Air Dryer-.


    Your wind magic has improved.


    You tter me. Are you okay with the nymph white color?


    Yes.


    One by one, I dressed Airas wless body.


    I fastened the buttons and tied the corset at the back.


    Then, I draped a thin shawl over it and carefully put on the long, slender stockings. Lastly, I slipped on a pair of womens loafers with a slight heel-.


    Vo.


    With that, Aira, dressed in a pristine white uniform, was ready. Her beauty was brilliant, befitting of being called the Queen of Ark.


    Then, shall we go?


    Yes, lets.


    I ced an umbre over Airas head and stepped outside the dormitory.


    * * *


    Look, its the Queens procession. Whats going on?


    Not a drop of sweat even in this hot weather


    Walking under the scorching sun, everyones attention was glued onto us. Aira had always carried a peculiar charisma that couldmand attention wherever she went.


    Seureureu-.


    As Aira walked, the crowd naturally parted, creating a path. The admiration in their eyes was like a form of reverence.


    I wonder if it was because we had recently exposed the privileges of the pompous nymphs who had been bullying others.


    Or was it simply because they hadnt experienced Airas tyranny like the people of Angmar had, and therefore felt only goodwill towards her?


    Anyway, the important thing was that for them, Aira at present was not someone to fear, hate, or resent. Honestly, wasnt that enough to say that Id fulfilled my role?


    Hey, dont do it-.


    No, wait.


    Tadat-.


    Then something popped out in front of us.


    I, A, Aira-nim!


    A stranger, speaking incoherently, blocked our path. Startled, I instinctively aimed my palm at the intruder, without even drawing my wand.


    Was it an assassin?


    Preparing myself for the worst, the unexpected visitor trembled visibly.


    Hik!


    However, Aira remainedposed.


    Who are you?


    M, my name is Sarbina from the vige of Tollejie, of Angmar. Your Highness, Queen. Its an honor to meet you like this.


    Shaking like a leaf, the girl seemed barely in her twenties.


    She had freckles on her face and a tannedplexion of someone from the rural outskirts of Angmar.


    Seeing an unfamiliar face, it didnt seem like they had a significant connection with Aira. Wondering about their intentions, I couldnt help but cast a suspicious gaze.


    Should I give them a light warning?


    Blocking the Queens procession is a grave offense, Sarbina of Tollejie. Please step aside.


    Sssss-.


    The tension in the air was palpable.


    With this sudden intrusion, everyone seemed to anticipate what might unfold. It seemed like they were afraid of how Aira, who was called a tyrant, would react.


    H, hey there-!


    At that moment, another figure emerged.
