Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 523



523. The upcoming meeting – Calterra Ishtar

***

Before you know it, it’s the weekend.

It was just after lunch on Saturday.

A magic engineering train was arriving at the largest station in the imperial capital.

Chui-Ik… !

A huge amount of heat emanating from the slowly stopped train filled the air.

Jeobeok, ttogak, chupok… .

And soon, as many people started pouring out of the stopped train, it started to become crowded.

An elegant woman in a carefully lowered red dress, a family that looks like they are on an outing, and even couples who look like they are on a trip.

Among the numerous people with different intentions, there was one woman who stood out.

Grumbling… .

Her flaming red hair reached down to her waist, and her sharp eyes had an intimidating charisma that made it difficult to make eye contact.

In addition, he had two attendants by his side, so that anyone who saw him could know his identity.

-Calterra Ishtar.

It was a woman who arrived in Elysia, the capital of the empire, after receiving a call from Kali.

“Really, why are there so many people?”

As she spoke with frowning eyes, a woman who appeared to be an attendant listened carefully.

“Be careful. “I think we need to be careful because there are so many people.”

“I really think it should be so. “I just hate complicated things like this.”

As Calterra suddenly spoke and began to walk, the hem of her elegant dress fluttered lightly.

Naturally, among the many people, some eyes turned to her, and even amidst those gazes, Calterra walked forward, receiving gazes as if it was only natural.

As the mistress of the Ishtar family, which produces weapons of better quality than those of the count family, she had nothing to be harsh about anyone she saw now.

… … .

Calterra, which had since moved, could soon be seen.

Edelphia, the capital of the empire.

And the main gate of a mansion in the center of the city.

Standing in front of the front door, she looked at the red mansion with a slightly emotional expression.

“…Really. “How long has it been since we last met?”

Along with the sudden voice, a laugh that I couldn’t hide escaped without my knowledge.

A mansion in front of you.

This mansion was owned by my daughter.

This is how my child succeeded. He owns such a luxurious mansion in the center of the capital city, which is known for its expensive land prices.

It wasn’t the funds obtained through the power of our Ishtar family. It was a valuable result that my daughter achieved purely on her own.

It was called the axis of the empire, gained great fame to the point where it even earned a nickname called the Bloody Dawn, and accomplished many other things.

Just looking at it filled my heart with pride.

“…Because you worked really hard.”

“then. “Whose child is it?”

Even the words of Bea, the escort driver, only made me smile happily.

Whose child was this that he grew up so smoothly?

Crash.

From noble mtl dot come

And soon, when the front door opened, a smile escaped me without even realizing it.

“Carly!”

“…mother.”

As I rushed to call the child’s name with joy, I saw the child smiling brightly and greeting me.

Wow!

Even though I hugged him as hard as I could, I pressed his cheek without realizing it.

“…How many years has it really been since we lasted?”

“I should have contacted you more often… I’m sorry. mother.’

“No, weren’t you very busy too? “I should have come to see you a long time ago.”

I gently removed my daughter’s head and held my daughter’s face in both hands.

It was beautiful.

Even though it had been several years since I had seen my daughter, she had become even more beautiful.

“How can you become so pretty?”

“…Compared to my mother, I am nothing.”

“Oh, don’t say that. “No matter how pretty I am, how can I be prettier than my child?”

As I spoke, only pure joy filled my heart.

He was a child who became even more adorable as he matured, wondering how he could even say a single word so prettily.

“……”

When I slowly caressed my daughter’s face and stared at her, she avoided my gaze as if she was embarrassed, and I had no idea how cute she was.

‘also… .’

And I felt it again.

They say there aren’t ten fingers that don’t hurt when bitten, but out of all my children, the one that shined the most and was loved the most was Kali.

So, I was always a daughter that I was proud to show to anyone, and I was also a child that I would not be happy to give to anyone.

To be honest, in the recent meeting, even though I carefully selected the families, there was no end to the marriage stories that came in, so I was worried every day.

“Let’s go inside first. “I want to drink tea and talk slowly.”

“Yes, mother. “Please come inside.”

As I gently lowered my hand from the child’s cheek, a feeling of loveliness filled me.

In fact, it wasn’t easy to meet him because of the distance from the capital, but meeting him like this made me wonder why I hadn’t come to see him sooner.

If my daughter can’t afford to come see me, I just have to find the time somehow.

Again.

As we walked together, the interior of the mansion came into view.

It was clean and new, so it looked pretty good to my eyes.

“How many people are there?”

“…Since we don’t spend much time in the mansion, there are about ten people.”

“Is that really enough? Even if it’s a mansion of this size, you have to have 20 employees to manage it properly.”

“is that so?”

“then. The exterior of the mansion is currently maintained neatly, but the interior is bound to have some shortcomings. And if you’re going to move out of your home and stay here mainly from now on, you should be a little more careful, right?”

Even as we exchanged light words, we burst into laughter.

As a child who has not been greedy in the past, I could feel the child’s personality even in this aspect.

As I entered the interior of the mansion, I saw the occupants greeting me.

They bowed their heads to me, and while looking at me intently, they nodded.

‘Because Carly has always had an eye for people.’

In general, they didn’t make a bad impression, so I nodded and thought again.

If this continues, I won’t be able to become a count.

‘Maybe I should be a little more greedy.’

It was at this moment that I decided to get rid of all the men from the earl’s family during the recent confrontation.

Carly was a child who deserved a much better family and higher treatment.

Crash.

“This is the reception room.”

“Actually, I’m not the type to serve customers that much, so I didn’t decorate it much.”

“Okay, I need to decorate it a little more. “There’s nothing particularly wrong with the mansion, but the living room still needs to be gorgeous.”

As I gently sat down on the seat while speaking, the sofa that gently fell down seemed like a fairly high-quality product.

Sreuk.

Even as I looked at the child across from me, I kept smiling.

“…How did it become so pretty?”

“Mom… stop it now. “I’m embarrassed too.”

I smiled awkwardly at the repeated compliments, but I still wanted to say more.

It’s so pretty.

Even though it is my child, I wondered how I could make it so pretty.

“Now that I think about it, I think there was something else to say in the letter. “Is this important?”

Although he spoke casually, he made eye contact.

Then, a change was seen.

The shy child paused and soon calmed down his expression to become serious.

“yes. “Mom, this is really… important.”

I became very interested in the more serious voice.

What on earth is this kid trying to say that makes him look so serious at me?

***

Meanwhile, the dormitory where nature resides within the academy.

“ha.”

Even though I let out a deep sigh, it felt quite stuffy.

I would say it was tight, but even though it was tailored to the whole body, this outfit was not comfortable.

But now I have to wear these things all day tomorrow.

Hesitant.

Even as I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I began to hesitate with my lips.

It was not a cadet uniform, but a completely different outfit, a black uniform.

A very sophisticated outfit reminiscent of a modern suit. And I knew it was high-quality clothing the moment I saw it.

“When on earth did Carly prepare for something like this?”

Even as I said this, I wondered if maybe I was being insensitive.

Actually, I should have thought about it a long time ago.

Meeting with Carly’s mother tomorrow.

…Now we are preparing for a meeting that should be considered a kind of reunion. I couldn’t deny that my thoughts were short as I tried on and prepared for the uniform that arrived in front of me.

I had asked her before if I needed to prepare anything, and then she told me that I didn’t need to prepare anything.

He said he would prepare everything, so just come.

…But I believed those words too blindly.

Sreuk.

As I carefully touched the collar of my uniform, I felt the soft yet firm fit of my uniform.

Even though I was adjusting my clothes, it felt very awkward.

“…I guess I was really stupid.”

We had to meet each other, and there was no way we wouldn’t have to prepare anything, but I was at ease. Even if Carly would prepare it, I should have prepared it myself a long time ago.

Normally, I would have to plan and think about this type of uniform a long time in advance, but it was only the day before that I was wearing the uniform and preparing.

“Whoa.”

I took a short breath and decided to get used to this.

Dressed in a suit.

…I felt very awkward wearing a suit for the first time.

Sreuk.

Additionally, even as I brushed my hair once, I felt strange.

“I guess this is… a good look, right?”

Even as I said it, it felt a little strange.

A strange feeling that I am not myself.

Even when I look at myself in the full-length mirror, I see something that doesn’t look like me.

Is this a good look or not… .

I felt like a proper confirmation was needed.

“Someone who can evaluate me objectively.”

It might be a bit awkward to walk around the academy like this, but there was still someone I could comfortably ask questions to.
