Chapter 67 - Simple Labyrinth (1)

The day after receiving the letter. Ena hurriedly prepared to return to Wyheim. She put on the shirt and robe she usually wore, and pulled her stiffly upright hat down deep. Since she had prepared from dawn, Acel was able to watch her leave.

It was a sudden return. Ena, who had been acting like she would stay here forever, had to leave because of just one letter.

What on earth was written in the letter that made her leave so urgently?

Since she wouldn't give a clear answer when asked, Acel could only feel frustrated.

"It's a family matter."

Even if he pressed, that was all the answer he got.

Family matter, huh?

He had long known that Ena had no parents. Considering her age, it was natural, but originally she was a long-lived species. Then, apart from being an archmage, her parents would have needed to be long-lived too. Otherwise, Ena couldn't be a pure-blooded long-lived species.

So, her parents must have been free from the concept of time as well. If such beings no longer existed, what would that mean?

They were killed. Or committed suicide...
