Chapter 347: Arriving Back Home (1/2)

”I see. My bad. It must be pretty traumatizing to all of you,” Clova said and looked around her.

She could see the shocked expressions on their faces, especially Ella, who used Aleshia's back as her eye cover.

”I won't do it again when you're all watching,” Clova said apologetically.

”Forget it. It's part of nature,” Lawrend muttered and shook his head.

He decided to get over it. Nothing will happen if he mulled over it anyway.

Lawrend jumped up onto Clova's back.

One by one, they rode on top of Clova.

Ramiela was the last one, and she sat on the very back, behind Kenova and Olgar.

”Miss, you weren't scared when that giant bird ate that assassin?” Olgar asked her.

”Why would I be?” Ramiela replied coldly.

She didn't know him, so she didn't feel inclined to speak to him nicely as she does with Lawrend.

”C-Cause you know, this bird could eat us anytime…” Olgar explained awkwardly.

”Don't put me in the same category as a pathetic human like you. I can do the same thing that Aezel did to the assassins to you,” Ramiela replied.

”I-I see.”

Olgar shut his mouth and felt cold sweat pour down his back.

Today was an unlucky day for him. He was so shocked earlier that he wasn't even shocked when Aezel and Elena easily killed all of those 'Arch Mage' assassins.

…

Along their journey, except for some inquiries, no one spoke much. After all, they just saw the bird they were riding on swallow a human whole.

They all wondered how the body was dissolving inside her stomach.

Six hours later, a city appeared in front of them.

It was Lawrend, Aleshia, and Ella's home. As for Olgar, this was his childhood home before he moved to Sheron Port City.

”Olgar, you will be managing this city. Just challenge the mage guild and the sword guild in the city to a duel. Oh right, Healer Natasha is also stationed here. If possible, don't fight her,” Lawrend said.

”I understand. What do I tell Healer Natasha, then?” Olgar asked.

”Tell her that you're now taking control of this city since you were born here,” Lawrend replied.

”Isn't that too shabby of an excuse?” Olgar asked.

”You will be fine. After all, some people have an ambition like that. Tell her that you want to protect the city for Cherry's sake. She won't be able to say something after that,” Lawrend replied.

”I see. That makes sense. Healer Natasha is known to support love, after all,” Olgar muttered in understanding.

They flew down and landed at the bank of the Lani River.

”Thank you for the ride again, Clova,” Lawrend said before he jumped down her back.

”No problem. I'm almost done cracking that book you found,” Clova replied.

”Nice. Tell me once it's done,” Lawrend replied.

”You were the one that got it for me. You have the right to know its contents,” Clova replied.

Lawrend nodded his head at her and walked away with his entourage.

”Master, do you think that your father is in the city now?” Aleshia asked.

”No. It's still four months before his scheduled return. Though, most likely, we will meet him in this journey,” Lawrend replied.

”What do you mean, Master?” Aleshia asked in confusion.

”I will ask Albert and Alfred where my father went. Even if they don't know about it, there should be some clues he left behind,” Lawrend replied.

”Oh… I can't help but feel nervous. What would he think now that you have a maid harem?” Aleshia asked.
