I spent my time making as many arrangements as I could think of, and suddenly it was sixth bell. Eckhart and Justus arrived a short while later; I went to see them the moment I received the news.
âEckhart! Justus!â
âM-Milady...?â
Justus froze upon seeing me, at a loss for words. Sylvester must not have explained my circumstances during their meeting. Eckhart, on the other hand, didnât seem very surprised at all. He stared at me for a moment and murmured my name as if seeking confirmation, then immediately began asking about the current status of our situation.
Eckhart cares more about how weâre going to save Ferdinand and the progress weâve made with our preparations than about my sudden growth spurt. Thatâs fair enough.
To be honest, having someone barely react at all to my appearance was more refreshing than anything else.
âEckhart, every single one of the preparations you asked about has already been completed,â I said. âWe have secured Dunkelfelgerâs assistance and plan to leave to rescue Ferdinand tonight.â
âExcellent work,â Eckhart replied, his eyes filled with hope and genuine approval. âIâd expect no less from my little sister and Lord Ferdinandâs protégé.â
I was so overjoyed. Eckhart only ever praised me when I was doing a lot to help his lord, so my actions thus far must have been exceptionally useful.
âThe aub said you are confident you can succeed,â he continued. âIs that true?â
âYes. And with you two here, our chances have shot up even higher.â
Eckhart nodded upon hearing my answer. My biggest concern had been not knowing where to find the Mana Replenishment hall, but now I wouldnât have any trouble reaching it.
âEckhart,â Justus said, âhow can you act so normal when sheâs changed this much?â
âDoes it matter how much sheâs changed on the outside?â Eckhart replied without missing a beat. âSheâs still my sister, and she still cares deeply about Lord Ferdinand.â He then headed over to Lasfam with a metal cage containing what appeared to be the layattendantâs name stone.
âIt might not be a problem, but arenât you curious?â Justus said. Unlike his fellow retainer, he seemed obsessed with my unusual growth. He had even begun to tremble on the spot, torn between asking for more information and focusing on the situation at hand.
It didnât take him long to decide which mattered more.
âWhat in the world happened to you, milady?â he asked, inching closer and closer, his brown eyes sparkling with curiosity. âYou grew so suddenlyâand into such a beautiful woman, might I add. This phenomenon is entirely new to me.â
I was about to draw the line with Justus when Hartmut got between us and said, âIâm glad you asked.â It was kind of scary seeing his orange eyes once again burn with excitement.
âSuch a miracle could never have occurred to anyone but Lady Rozemyne, whom the gods love more than any other,â Hartmut began. âIt was through a miracle granted to her by Anwachs the God of Growth that she matured so! Allow me to explain its splendor and emotional significance!â
âWell, until Justus gets bored, at least.
