Chapter 95 Fey Scaffold (1)
After recruiting Ragna and Hajin, Elias went separate ways with them as he still had other matters to deal with.
Namely, recruiting thatperson.
The person he was referring to was very important to the growth of his club. At the very least, they were as important as Ragna and Hajin.
However, there was a problem.
Elias didn't know where to find that person. In the novel, the house of some characters was never mentioned.
That was the case with this character.
Although that person was a very popular side character, Elias couldn't just give a damn to take the time to give them an actual address.
'It's not my fault. Who knew such trivial information would actually be needed?'
Elias defended himself internally. He was the type of author who didn't care about such trivial information.
They were worthless in his opinion, at least that was the case before he came to this world.
If he only knew that they would come in handy in the future, he would've expended some energy to write those stupid character trivias.
'No use crying over spilled milk. Let's focus on the matter at hand... how should I go on finding that person?"
Elias thought for a moment. If he remembered correctly, that person had some reputation in the academy.
If he went on asking the traits or the name of that person, perhaps a kind student might be able to lead him to them.
Thinking of that, Elias nodded slowly. He had no other choice anyways, besides even if he was not successful...
When classes finally start, he could always find that person inside the academy and that would be much, much easier.
***
When Elias was walking around and asking people, he coincidentally came across a very familiar individual.
A familiar beautiful woman with overwhelming grace stood before him.
Dressed in a royal, embroidered robe, she had a ruby necklace hanging below her chin that resplendently shone.
With long soft blonde hair that shone like the sun, and a pair of sapphire blue eyes as vast as the ocean, the word 'perfection' was not enough to describe her beauty.
Elizabeth Truensoest, or the third princess of the Truensoest Empire.
Noticing the stares around her, Elizabeth had an apologetic smile on her face while she looked at Elias.
"Sir. Elias, It's nice to meet you here! I'm sorry for calling you out all of a sudden, you must be very busy..."
"Drop the honorifics, princess. Someone of your status does not need to respect someone like me."
Elias shook his head and sighed inwardly. It would just attract more attention... but it's not like that could even be prevented.
Any place where Elizabeth appears, she was certainly going to snare some attention from other people.
Elizabeth frowned, seemingly not content with his attitude and remarks.
"You should think of yourself more highly. You saved my life back then, I can't thank you enough."
"It was a coincidence, believe it or not. But it's not like you would believe me anyway. So what's a princess like you doing here?"
"Uh... I actually just went and visited Rain and Lance in the infirmary. I just got back and wanted to stroll around for a while."
Elizabeth gave a cheeky smile. She waved her hands and suddenly thought of something.
"They're okay, if you're wondering. The nurse told us that they would recover tomorrow, which is when classes start... so I suppose they're lucky?"
"Yeah, really lucky."
Elias nodded strangely. More like extremely convenient. When he was writing this part of the novel, he hadn't really thought of the plot yet.
He was just winging it, honest to god. That's why as he further explores his novel, he gets puzzled every time.
How the hell did this shit become popular?
But he couldn't completely say it was that bad either. There were still some good points about it.
The quality of his novel aside, there were more important matters at hand. Elias sighed inwardly.
Seeing his brows suddenly crease, Elizabeth had an awkward smile as she asked casually.
"W-what about you? Why are you here? I don't see you as a person who likes to stroll around casually..."
"That's correct. I'm trying to find a student. But I have no leads right now, unfortunately."
"Oh, do you need some help?"
Elizabeth raised her brows in interest. She seemed really eager to help, with her eyes sparkling.
"Hm, what can you..."
Elias was about to immediately reject her, but then he remembered something. He looked at Elizabeth carefully.
Elizabeth was startled by his scrutinizing gaze, with her eyes averting in awkwardness and embarrassment.
Completely ignorant of this, Elias was contemplating deeply.
Elizabeth Truensoest was a princess of the Truensoest Empire.
But other than that, she was also a high officer in the platinum-ranked Astral Summoner Club in the academy.
The Astral Summoner Club was a club in the academy that only recruited people from the Astral Continent
For the reason of such a thing, some context needs to be shed about the club and the Astral Continent.
There were two continents in the present Aegis; the Remnant Continent and the Astral Continent.
The Truensoest Empire was located on the Astral Continent. They were the sole ruler of the Astral Continent.
The Astral Summoner Club was not just a simple academy club. Like most Gold-ranked clubs, they represented an organization or force.
In this case, the Astral Summoner Club represented the Summoner Alliance within the Truensoest Empire.
Thus, as a princess of the empire, Elizabeth was naturally one of the high officers in the Astral Summoner Club.
If Elias could have her connections, then the matter of finding that person would be resolved in a matter of seconds.
"You... might just be able to help."
"That sounds great!"
Elizabeth's eyes sparkled. In truth, she had always wanted to help Elias after he saved her from the demon.
Part of it is that he reminded her of the prince or hero fantasy she had as a child, not that she would ever admit that.
However, the main reason is that she was very uncomfortable about not being able to repay such gratitude.
Elizabeth's lips curled into a smile, one that seemed especially bright.
"So, how can I help? What's the name of that person anyway?"
Seeing her enthusiasm, Elias felt slightly startled before replying to her.
"His name is... Fey Scaffold."
"Alright! Let's go and ask other stude—"
"Wait, what?"
Elias suddenly stopped her. Elizabeth paused and seemed confused, with her head tilting toward him.
Seeing her confusion, Elias felt very awkward but continued nonetheless.
"We're... not going together and ask other people around. I'm talking about your Astral Summoner Club. If you can ask them about Fey Scaffold, I would be grateful."
"..Ah, t-that..." nOve/lB-1n
Elizabeth paused. Her cheeks were painted with a faint tint of pink, while her eyes turned downcast with slight disappointment.
She looked like a pitiful cat that made others 'aww' on her appearance.
In an attempt to avoid her embarrassment, Elizabeth averted her eyes and curled her hair awkwardly.
"...I'm so sorry for misunderstanding...?"
"No, it's... alright."
Dear god, Elias sighed inwardly. The stares of the people around them suddenly turned hostile. You might just be the death of me.
