Chapter 89 (2/2)

With this banquet, Claire’s fame was raised to another level. A fourteen year old girl had become favored by the goddess and held the position of priest! What an honor. A long time after, everybody who had attended the banquet still remembered, remembered the golden haired green eyed girl that seemed like the sun, radiating light, stunning everyone.

Before the ruckus had calmed down, a chamberlain came from the entrance hurriedly to report, looking pale with fright.

“What are you so flustered for!” Currently, Duke Gordan was in a bad mood, so he berated the chamberlain.

“If, if your grace sees himself, he shall know.” The chamberlain seemed to be somewhat excited.

Duke Gordan frowned as he walked out. Everybody else in the hall followed.

Once everybody saw the line of carriages, they all froze. There were so many carriages, they couldn’t see the end, and every carriage was filled roses, extremely dazzling and gorgeous. On the first carriage were a few, impressively large words: Claire, happy birthday.

Who was this crazy?

Everybody was once again stunned by the scene before them. Just then when the pope had appeared and announced the goddess’ guidance, their hearts were almost unable to bear it, and now with such a spectacular sight, everybody felt their minds were about to break.

“Claire?” Duke Gordan turned and called Claire, wanting to inquire what was going on. Only then did he discover that Claire, who had been following him by his side, had already disappeared.

And like so, Claire silently disappeared from the birthday banquet. Disappearing along with her were Summer, Qiao Chuxin, Jean, Walter, and Ben.

Outside of the east gate, a very ordinary yet of small stature girl was wearing clothes that couldn’t be any more ordinary. On her back was an exquisite and small bow. Followed behind her were a group of people also wearing ordinary clothes. And so, their journey started.

“White Little Moon, why would you change your name to that?” Summer stroked her chin, watching Claire, who was walking ahead over them, a little suspicious,. Then she turned and looked towards the beautiful man smiling like wind, squeezing out from the corner of her mouth, “Also, why did your teacher, Camille, also come here?”

“Each person has their own interests and hobbies.” Claire said vaguely.

“Haha, I also have my interest. It’s too boring in the capital, so I came with you guys to play.” Camille smiling kindly, a shine flashing through his eyes. “Also, I’m even your secondary commander. If you don’t listen to me, I will punish you….”

The last few incomparably gentle words echoed in everybody’s mind. Clearly, it was extraordinarily gentle, but hearing it made their blood run cold. Will punish, will punish…. The endless echo seemed like magic was making them hear it.

“Yuan Bao Mercenary Corps?” Summer was holding a sheet of paper, the credentials of registering as a mercenary group just now. “Why are we registering with this strange name? What a really strange name. Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao, what is Yuan Bao?”

Claire, who was pretending to be an ordinary archer, said faintly, “That’s because of my interests.”

Summer was wordless. After she put away the credentials, she followed silently without speaking any more.

(TL: 元宝, an ancient currency in China. The things that dumplings’ shapes were based off of. Literal is like ‘treasure yuan’ and yuan is the current Chinese currency, which doesn’t exist in this world, but the treasured part is probably what made Summer speechless.)
