Chapter 86

What may very well be extra troublesome than this?

“What precisely do you want from me?”

“Relaxation assured. I’m simply checking one thing.”

“Checking?”

“Sure. I’ll inform you the small print later.”

“…First you gave me the medal, and you then requested for a favor….is there something extra troublesome than this?”

“You don’t need to do it should you don’t need to. The explanation I gave it…..”

He seemed alternately between me and Rere as if feeling sorry for us. For a second, I puzzled if he caught my lies or if he seen that Rere was sick, but it surely was truly the other.

“About what you mentioned again then…..I pray for the Duchess to stay in good well being. I simply need the peace on this household to remain as it’s now.”

He was truly nervous about me. He was afraid that Rere would lose the mom determine that she admired.

“For those who really feel burdened with my kindness, you possibly can consider it this fashion.”

“What’s it?”

“I’ve lived my life within the temple for a very long time, but you have been the primary to present me cash. It’s my reward for individuals who give unconditional kindness to others.”

him attempting to persuade me in case I used to be nonetheless burdened by his kindness, I felt there was nothing else I may say.

“I see. Thanks. I’ll do my finest that can assist you.”

He smiled, after which stood.

“I’ve to take my depart now.”

“You’re leaving already?”

“I didn’t imply to remain lengthy. Then, I hope to see you once more quickly, Princess.”

“Yup!”

As if his unique objective had been fulfilled, he walked out with out hesitation.

“Rere, lets see him off till the doorway?”

“Okay! Sounds good!”

Rere shouted with twinkling eyes and stretched out her hand.

“Let’s go!”

“Are you going to see me out?”

He was about to open the door, however he couldn’t disguise his shock.

“You even gave me this medal, so this a lot is nothing.”

“Oh, thanks very a lot.”

When Rere lifted the medal barely, the Excessive Priest smiled satisfactorily. I went forward and opened the door for him.

The guard ready outdoors approached him with a glance of nice shock.

“Are you leaving already?”

“I’m carried out with my enterprise.”

“I assumed you’d keep longer.”

“Hoho. No manner. Somewhat, I’ve to go to a different duchy.”

“Are you nervous that rumors will unfold should you solely visited right here?”

The guard checked out us following them with a troubled expression.

“Sure.”

“I don’t know why you care a lot about them.”

“I actually need the Duchess. And should you don’t like every little thing I do, I’ll use one other guard subsequent time…”

Solely then did the knight shake his head in a rush.

“You mustn’t try this. There’s nobody you possibly can belief within the temple.”

“Hoho. I believe it’s higher to have unreliable folks than getting bothered by you.”

“….Your Holiness.”

“So don’t trouble me an excessive amount of. This outdated man will die sooner listening to your nagging on a regular basis.”

The knight, Lloyd, lastly sighed and shook his head.

“I’ll preserve that in thoughts.”

“Hoho. You recognize I such as you a lot, proper? To the purpose I need you to remain by my facet till I die. So I need you to go simple on me somewhat bit.”

“I’ll watch out sooner or later.”

“Nonetheless, don’t be too stiff, both. That’s boring.”

His face stiffened, most likely questioning which rhythm he was imagined to observe.

Observing them from behind, they appeared to have an fascinating relationship.

“Then, I’ll take my depart.”

“Sure,”

After bickering for some time, they moved as if that they had made up their thoughts.

The servant walked forward to information us, adopted by the priest and his guard within the center and us within the again.

We didn’t work together a lot after we got here outdoors. I may really feel the clear boundaries as if he purposely tried to distance himself from us.

‘I’m certain he’s doing this on objective.’

As I used to be busy trying on the Excessive Priest’s again, Rere, who had been fidgeting with the medal, held it out to me.

“However Massive Bunny, this factor appears to be like actually fairly. What if he gave this to us by mistake?”

Rere whispered, maybe nervous that the Excessive Priest would possibly hear it.

“No manner.”

“However we must always disguise it simply in case. Get your head down somewhat, Massive Bunny.”

Once I lowered my head, Rere hung the medal necklace round my neck.

“Rere?”

“You appear like an individual who gained an award at an enormous competitors!”

Once I first acquired the medal, I assumed to myself that the dimensions was fairly appreciable. Somewhat, anybody would suppose it was uncommon if I wore it round my neck like this.

Rere narrowed her eyes, maybe pondering the identical factor as me.

“Hmm, I don’t suppose this appears to be like good.”

“Then why doesn’t Rere preserve it as a substitute and provides it to Mother later?”

“Good thought!”

Rere clapped her fingers in delight and eliminated the necklace hanging on my neck.

“Will you care for it, Rere?”

“Yup!”

In the meantime, we arrived on the primary gate of the Duke’s fort. Solely then did the Excessive Priest flip to us.

“Then I’ll take my depart. I’ll see you on the temple subsequent time.”

“Thanks for at the moment, Your Holiness.”

“I’ll so long, Princess.”

“Yeah! Bye!”

After the temporary farewell, the Excessive Priest climbed into the carriage together with his guard. As if he had one thing pressing to do, the coachman shortly set off as quickly as he acquired into the carriage.

And that’s how they lastly moved away.

After we watched them for a very long time, we have been about to return to the fort, however then.

“Oh my goodness! Leona! You’ve lastly come out!”

Somebody ran towards us in a rush. It was my mom.

To be actual, Leona’s mom.

“….I’m certain I informed you to not come once more.”

“How will you say that? I do know very effectively that you just don’t imply something you mentioned to us.”

“Who mentioned I don’t imply it? You need to return earlier than you create extra hassle right here.”

It angered me that Rere needed to witness the ugliness of my household.

“Oh my. Aren’t you the princess?”

However there’s no manner that Rere reacted to her advances kindly. She smacked Mrs. Selen’s fingers that have been about to succeed in her.

“How dare you contact me!”

“Huh…?”

“Get misplaced.”

“Haha…this baby may be very daring, I see.”

“She merely speaks my thoughts. Go away. Don’t come right here ever once more. Subsequent time I’ll ask the knights to kick you out as quickly as they see you.”

“W-Wait! Please hearken to me. Your father has been ailing since that day. At this price, he’ll fall into melancholy as a result of the debtor involves our home every single day.”

However her phrases didn’t have an effect on me in any respect.

“So what? Why do I have to be concerned in one thing that you just introduced upon your self? As an alternative of me, why don’t you make your completely wholesome and succesful daughter work?”

“Are you asking my valuable Jane to do your chores?!”

“….Valuable, huh? I suppose there should be a valuable and never valuable daughter in your eyes.”

“Anyway…yeah. That’s proper. You’re proper.”

Leona’s mom stared at me with tears in her eyes and nodded eagerly as if she had lastly made up her thoughts.

“That’s why I’m looking for her a job.”

“Good for you.”

“That’s why I got here right here. How come a duchess doesn’t have a maid? Usually, the wives of a noble household take a maid to be their helper. However no maid may very well be extra good than Jane! Can you employ your energy to make it occur? Please?”

“Ah, so that you ask me to rent her as my companion and pay her a hefty sum of cash?”

She nodded urgently.

“Do you actually take me for a idiot? I’m certain she’s going to act like a Madam as soon as she is available in.”

“That gained’t occur in any respect. Your sister is reflecting on herself, too.”

I briefly thought of bringing Leona’s sister in and torturing her as a lot as Leona had suffered. Nevertheless it was a foul thought, as a result of I might solely find yourself feeling pissed off by her habits.

“Don’t even dream. Even when she has mirrored, I don’t really feel like doing that in any respect. So simply depart. I cannot grant you any likelihood to speak with me to any extent further.”

“…Do you suppose you’ll be completely satisfied leaving your loved ones like this?”

“Sure. Very a lot. I’m very, very completely satisfied. Now and sooner or later. So simply depart.”

I circled, however Leona’s mom moved quick to seize Rere’s hand.

“Princess! Please persuade my daughter….!”

However earlier than she may even seize her, Rere screamed.

“Get out of right here! Why are you bothering my mother?! What are you doing, knights! You need to do away with this beggar quick!”

“I-I’m sorry. We’ll take away her immediately.”

Rere was nonetheless fuming as she checked out Leona’s mom.

“Haa…how on earth…..how will you try this to me? You’re my daughter’s baby! Meaning I’m your grandmother. Grandmother!!”

“Cease saying nonsense! If I hear you yet another time, I gained’t allow you to slide!”

Solely then did the knights transfer in a rush to tug Leona’s mom away.

“You’ll remorse it! You wench! I’m the one who raised you!”

I didn’t need Rere to listen to dangerous issues, so I smiled brightly and took her inside.

“What ought to we play at the moment? It’s raining, although.”

“Massive Bunny.”

“Yeah?”

“For those who’re having a tough time, you possibly can simply let it out.”
