Chapter 113: Largud Ann’s Concerns
*shatter*
In the early morning, the sound of breaking glass echoed inside the walls of Garoua Maria .
The movements of well-trained soldiers were agile . Their faces turned blue upon hearing the sound and immediately headed toward the source . The sound came from the office room of the unmistakable Saint Matia . One of the guard soldiers reached the room first and hit the door in a hurry .
「Lady Saint Matia! What happened! 」
It wasn’t a normal sound . The soldier thought that something serious had happened to Saint Matia . When the loud voice of this soldier evoked high, more soldiers gathered in front of the door .
Saint Matia was undoubtedly the symbol that guided the Heraldic religion . She was like a pillar that supported everyone’s hearts . The power of the Heraldic Order could collapse if something serious happened to her . In other words, if something happened to her, it would be impossible to unite the people of the old religion in one power .
Whether this was true or not, it did not matter, since the majority believed in their symbol . Everyone loved and trusted the existence of Saint Matia . Everyone understood the importance of her role .
However . What happened to Saint Matia? This delusion trapped the soldiers’ minds and hearts . This worry made them break through the door to enter the room .
「…I…I apologize . She just fell asleep and broke the vase . Don’t worry . 」
Matia’s aide, Largud Ann, appeared through the gap . For some reason, it felt odd .
Ann tried to appease the soldiers’ concern .
The soldiers were confused and went to see what was wrong . However, nothing happened, said Ann, the personal aide . Ann’s loyalty to Matia was deeper than anyone else’s . Everyone knew that well .
The soldiers began to return to their original positions after Ann reassured them .
The morning passed without any other incident .

Early in the morning, Largud Ann felt anguish in her heart .
Her anguish could be an exaggeration, but she knew that trouble was about to come . One man was the cause of her anguish . The heraldic compatriot and hero, Lugis .
Ann wrinkled involuntarily between her eyebrows in order to reduce the pain from her abdomen . “Again . It happened again . If I could, I would wipe his deeds . But, I can’t . Yet, he did it again” .
Ann thought that the situation had finally settled down . She was about to adjust the political affairs that Saint Matia ordered her to do . Ann sighed deeply as if her heart sank deep into her stomach .
Largud Ann was someone undeniably talented in interpersonal negotiations . Therefore, Matia favored her and used her skills for the Heraldic Order . Ann gained a powerful and relevant position within the Heraldic religion through Matia .
However, there were many inconveniences as well . It was natural that Ann’s skills would be useful if a collision occurred between people . But as a matter of course, troublesome things were also carried on Ann’s back .
Nonetheless . Ann knew that it couldn’t be helped . Rather, Ann understood that if she handled the problems well, her value would certainly increase .

Despite this, he, Lugis, was the one causing trouble lately .
“…Was it true that heroes were defined by colors?”
Ann muttered in her heart . Heroes were defined by many colors, or meanings . Lugis’ color was clearly “trouble” . Yet, Ann never said it aloud . If she said it, even the smallest things could catch the wind and she wouldn’t know where they leaked from . Summing up, personal opinions would raise to even more trouble . Those who made negotiations with their own ability like Ann had to be extra careful with their words .
However, she was allowed to mutter silently in her heart .
He, Lugis, had difficulties in women’s relationships .
Ann thought that Lugis’ recklessness and lack of personal relations made everything worse . He was incapable of understanding other people’s feelings . Perhaps, he tried . But, his insensitivity and immature behavior made many women upset . Ann wanted him to settle somewhere in order for him stop doing foolish things .
For example, he had to “hold the reins to separate the legal wife from the concubine”, in order to keep everyone quiet . If that happened, he would become someone reliable . Yes, someone with the capacity of being a leader . However, he didn’t have the guts to distinguish white from black . That’s why he always brought trouble whenever he went .
After all, Lugis was one of the most influential men in the Heraldic Order . Therefore, it was not a bad option to train him properly to be in a good shape for leadership .
Ann thought calmly for a second . She knew that her anguish would not solve anything .
“That’s right . I need to have a clear mind for this case . I heard that he went out for a walk at night . But, it was strange for him to rent a horse to take a mere walk . Moreover, he did not come back . ”
“I really want to understand his intentions . Yet, it is difficult for me to do so . Sometimes, he endangers his life in order to save others, but other times, he does nothing at all . ”
“Confusing . What type of hero is he? Others might call him a hero, but all I see is a mysterious person who always brings trouble to others” . Ann moved her heavy eyelids in confusion, but regained her composure .

“Even so, if he is temporarily gone, it will be difficult to deal with the girls who yearn for him . I know this much . That is why I cannot report to them without knowing his whereabouts first . It would just make the uproar louder . ”
Ann said to the gatekeepers to keep their mouths shut on this matter . Ann decided to report his disappearance to only one person . Her immediate superior, Saint Matia . She was the ruler of Garoua Maria and the supreme commander of the Heraldic Order . Ann knew that Matia was always calm and assertive . Therefore, there would be nothing wrong with reporting this matter to her .
With that in mind, Ann headed towards the office room . However, after arriving she stopped for a moment before opening the office door . Her fingertips hesitated to touch the door .
Suddenly, Ann’s talent for interpersonal negotiations rang the alarm bell .
At first, Ann kept this matter in her own heart . She wanted to illuminate herself to find a solution to this problem . Only then, she would report this incident to Saint Matia .
Ann thought so . However, on this very moment, Ann felt a slight sense of discomfort regarding Saint Matia .
Something that no one else could sense besides Ann, who was always nearby Saint Matia . One could call it Ann’s intuition .
Saint Matia’s actions were performed with reason and calculation . Always . She was someone strategical and self-assured . She never let useless emotions or useless people bind her . Saint Matia’s way of life had not changed at any time, and Ann respected and sympathized with her character and wisdom .
Saint Matia behaved exactly how leaders should behave .
Ann firmly believed so .
However, the words that Saint Matia professed to Lugis did not show such calculation and wisdom . But, Ann knew that Lugis was no ordinary person . Ann bit her lips slightly while pushing through her brain .

The true nature within Lugis’ being was hunger and thirst .
Lugis was like a hungry beast . He was starving for the dignity he did not possess . As if the sand of the desert was eager to suck up on water . A thirst and hunger that were unparalleled to anyone she had met before .
That was the way which Ann understood Lugis’ character .
Then, we shall give it to him . Give him a reward . Give him the status of a hero, and satisfy him . In fact, he was doing just that . Doing the deeds of a hero . All he needed was be applauded .
Nevertheless . Did Saint Matia have any idea about his character? For some reason, Ann wanted to push Lugis away from Saint Matia . He was the only thorn of concern for Ann . A thorn that pierced her chest .
“…No, I can’t think like this . It will be my negligence not to tell the Saint about him . ”
Ann’s intuition was like a ringing alarm . But, Ann’s faith believed more in her Saint rather than her own intuition . Therefore, Ann had to act like someone with a clear mind, without doing anything too unreasonable or foolish, such as not reporting the facts to Matia, who was her superior .
「Excuse me, Saint Matia . I have something to discuss with you . It concerns the hero Lugis…」
Ann closed the door and informed Matia about what happened to Lugis during the previous night .
