Miss Louisa From the Valley of the Wind

Choices and Plans

While at Gordon's palace were busy with debates about King Peter's decision, at the Valley ancestral residence there was a meeting of Mr. Bruswick, Mrs Eugine, Louisa and her five members Shine, Reneism, Deep, Shadow, Marco and Light.

"Shine was married with my blessing. Reneism got married after Louisa decided marriage for him and after knowing I also approved of it. Now what about the four of you? Shadow when are you going to marry Light? He can't wait for you forever"

"Great master, I also want to marry Light immediately. But as the Great Lord knew, if there was an agreement with my ancestors about it that after marriage, I would have to return to the western continent otherwise I and Light would die. While the big lady still needs us here, because if I get married the big lady will instantly lose two of her members. At least we will wait until the drought passes" Shadow replied.

"The "drought disaster may come in two or three years. And it might last a year or two. His recovery time will be much longer. And during that recovery period, the central continent will be more prone to travel. Maybe three to four years will be stable. Are you sure you'll wait that long? You don't mind, what about Light? Have you thought about it?"

Shadow was silent, he looked at Light. There was no feeling in his eyes.

"When I got back here, I talked to your ancestors. She approved of it and gave ten years back to the western continent after your marriage."

"But the great sir, seal it.."

"He's already given the spell a delay in activating the seal for ten years. So you have nine years, assuming a year's return trip I think that's enough. So tell me your decision"

"Great master, I agree if so. But now it depends on Light whether he's willing or not"

"You've heard it, how about you Light?"

"Will the delay in activating the seal have any effect if I then get pregnant and give birth to the Great Master?"

"I've asked, according to the Shadow Ancestor there is no problem with that. A child born will not be exposed to the seal" said Mr Bruswick

"If there's no problem, please arrange our wedding ceremony Big master" Light said

"You agree, what about you Louisa?"

"I certainly bless you, Grandpa. I've been expecting that for a long time. It's only because of the seal that I didn't force Shadow to marry Light" Louisa said

"Wait a minute, you guys talked about the Shadow seal. What exactly is that seal?" ask Marco.

"It is alleged that Shadow has a seal that his ancestors made. The real purpose of the seal, forcing Shadow to go home to her family if she wants to get married. If Shadow is married and the seal has not been removed, the seal will be activated and also seal his partner. And after that both of them will die because their blood will dry out sucked up the seal before his body turns to ashes" explained Mr. Bruswick

"A cruel magic." said Marco shuddering in horror.

"Life in the western continent is harder than the central continent of Marco. There the magic is as usual. They just wanted to force their descendants not to forget their ancestral lands also restricting them. After marrying Shadow's power as a spellcaster would increase greatly and would probably not be restrained if not given special family training. Therefore he had to go home to get that training and release the seal"

"If the seal is removed, can they come back here?" ask Marco again

"Usually the descendants of the Shadow family are allowed to return to adventure after serving the family for ten years. But for Shadow it doesn't seem like it's going to happen."

"Why the great sir ?"

"Because Shadow is the next head of the family"

"Has it been decided, big sir?"

"It has. Your five cousins are not qualified"

"About their companion?"

"Do you have to be so great sir?" ask Marco again.

"Because someone who is not a spellcaster, will not be able to face the protective spell of the head of the family. Once established as the head of the family, Shadow's body would be fully protected from protection spells for the rest of his life. And he will not be able to approach someone who is not a spellcaster within a meter without pain"

"That means if we meet again, I have to keep my distance from Shadow. Not because I don't want you, but you're too horrible. And I still love my life" Marco joked.

"Enough about the seal. Now what do you think Shine. Light is your brother anyway"

"I think I know Shadow quite well, great sir. And maybe no other man is good enough to marry Light as well as Shadow. Of course I agree"

"It's good that you agree too. Now where and when is the wedding ceremony?"

"Two months left, in the town of Alma only grandfather. I've prepared a residence for them there" said Louisa

"Chairman, don't tell me if the house being built near the Chairman's residence is for them" Marco said

"Yes. Youre right. And the forecast will be completed in a month. And we can make her ceremony in the gazebo near the lake. That would be a beautiful wedding venue I thought. What about Ren's mother?''

"I think it's a brilliant idea, miss. I'm willing to help design the show" Reneism answered

"Okay, it's been decided that way. For Shadow tomorrow morning meet me in the garden behind the residence. Shadow and Light's business is done. Deep, what about you? Is there a line you like? Let me camouflage you"

"There is no great Master" Deep replied

"So what's your plan?"

"I have a plan. But it needs some parties' approval. One of them is the Chairman"

"Well, what is Deep?" ask Louisa.

"Let me accompany and protect young Lord Lucio if he leaves for Gordon's palace, Chief. It's my only dream and my only wish" Deep asked in earnest.

"Become his protector or his right hand Deep?"

"What's the difference, Chief?"

"If only as a protector, it's I'm sure that you are now qualified. And I'm sure Peter and the ancestors won't mind Deep. If as a right hand, from now on you should receive training from Ren's mother. Right, Ren's mom ?"

"Yes, miss. Deep if you want to be the right-hand man or confidant of a crown prince or King, you must know the administration of the palace. You also have to be good at diplomacy. You want to learn more Deep? But I have to tell you if it's gonna be too boring for you."

"For young master Lucio, I want to study Mrs Ren. I I'll try. Please help, madam" Deep said, bowing his body.

"How about, miss ?"

"I'm going to file this with Kendrick's ancestor. If Kendrick's ancestors agree, I'll force Peter to agree" Louisa said

"And you're Marco? I heard you were quite close to the Chief Princess, Miss Mila. Is there any plan to marry her?"

"I can still wait a few more big years. I've discussed this with the City Chief, and he's agreed that me and his daughter will only get married after the drought is over" Marco said
