3rd Pov

"You two know each other?" Yuri asked confuse.

"Yes we do. The person that is standing in front of you is Hilma Kershaw. The younger sister of Jarvis Kershaw who is the author of the famous dimensional book" Shinou explained. Everyone stared at Tasha/Hilma in shock.

"But I'm actually curious as to what happen to you and your family after you've been banished" he continued.

Tasha/Hilma sighed "After the banishment my whole family/clan left to look for a place where is very far away from the kingdom. It took us nearly a year to find the right place which is now called the Alvah country. Though it is a human country we didn't mind since we are being separated by mountains as you can see" she explained as she started walking which the others followed.

"Ano... Lady Hilma I'm just wondering how come your spirit is still here just like Shinou?" Alister asked innocently.

Hiilma smiled at the young boy "It's because I sacrifice myself to protect from the country from The Originator (A/N: Just look from the Wikipedia about The Originator from Kyou Kara Maou).

"Sacrifice?!" Yuri exclaimed.

"Yes. Having a large amount Maryoku I sacrifice myself to form a large barrier to protect everyone. As I sacrifice myself I became one with the country. Everything that is happening in Alvah country I immediately know even without even stepping out in the castle, I also knows who comes and goes in the country. Since I don't have a body and nobody can see my spirit, a priestess is needed. Only a direct descendant of mine can only be a priestess"

"So you're telling us that Priestess Tasha is actually your descendant?" Gwendal asked with a slight frown.

"Yes she is along with Tiberius and Forest. Before the incident about the originator happened, I actually have a family, a husband and two children a boy and a girl. Both Tasha and Tiberius are from the side of my son while Forest is from my daughter's side" she answered.

"But what if Lady Tasha doesn't want to be a priestess anymore?" Yuri asked as he remembered about Ulrike being 800 years old.

"Well if she wants to retire I would allow her but she'll have to wait when the next Priestess will come" she answered.

Then she stared at the ice "What you see now is my body trapped in ice. The magic circle below the ice keeps the spell intact. However, if the spell is broken by removing my body then the barrier that's been protecting around the country will disappear" she explained.

"What will happen to your body if the spell is broken?" asked Ken.

"It will shatter like a fragile glass" she grimly answered. "Anyway since you've travel very far from the Demon Kingdom to here in the Alvah country. May I ask what's your purpose in seeking a Kershaw? I just know that you're looking for the Kershaw family but I don't know the reason behind it"

"You see Lady Hilma. We're looking for the author of this book whose name is Jarvis Kershaw but we know that this person has long died since it's been thousands of years already. And this book is merely a copy of the original" Estefania said showing the said book.

"We're just wondering if someone from the Kershaw family could help us. You see, our mother came from a different dimension and recently some people who knew her accidentally came here. When those people were about to go back to their world, one of them that my mother hated the most pulled her when the dimensional circle have activated and just like that she was taken from us. We tried activating the same dimensional circle but it didn't work. We also tried looking a possible way to get our mother back but we found nothing. The only other way is to go and find the author or any member of Kershaw family who could help us" Estefania explained.
