Chapter 147 - Pull the weed, plant a tree (1/2)
_________________________________________________
[At the headquarters of the church]
[Saintess Rumia point of view]
This should go here, and this should go there
The red hair saintess hum as she sorted out all the paperwork that she have to complete by the end of this week, when a knock can be heard
”This is the noble from Estel that would like to meet you, O Saintess” [Servant]
”Ah thank you, you may leave,and as for you” [Saintess Rumia]
The servant quickly leave, leaving behind the nicely trim good looking, gentleman noble from Estel with the Saintess
”It's been quite a while Sir Ceanu Reaves” [Saintess Rumia]
”It is, plus, nice to see you finally all grown up” [Ceanu Reaves]
”Still on the hunt for talent I suppose?” [Saintess Rumia]
”That, as well as...” [Ceanu Reaves]
The noble discuss about what have been happening lately
”I see. So there's a possibility that the two traitors of Demon Kingdom corporate with The True Beastman Group. This is bad...” [Saintess Rumia]
”Not to mention we still haven't received any clue regarding the Achalasia Externa group” [Ceanu Reaves]
”Well, about that...” [Saintess Rumia]

I went a little bit overboard, no, it's by a lot. Now that I have calmed down, I guess the king is being overly nice to me
(I will decide your punishment later, for now, you're under house arrest! Bring him to THAT room!) [King Estel]
This is the room that Diana and I got scolded by the king the other day, during the incident with the idiot noble son. Guess another scolding is already underway.
Khamishah has been asked by the king to be the neutral figure, as to assist the king on handling out fair judgement upon the Duchess and the church. As for the ten, let just said they're pale when they heard I will get punished.
~Knock~
”Nobody here” [Ash]
”A ghost!?” [Singa]
”Grandpa Claude?” [Savel]
”For someone under a house arrest, you sure are happy” [Diana]
The King, Diana and Qis, Khamishah, and those ten enter the room. Well, not only them, Flinar, Erinmorlin, the two guild master is also here as well
”Kid... you might want to get out first, or else you will get scolded by a certain blonde princess” [Ash]
”EHH!!!” [Other]
”I won't! Not to you guys at least!” [Diana]
”Charlotte, save me” [Ash]
”Right!” [Charlotte]
Charlotte come and hug me, and with that
”What is with that smirk! And Charlotte, move, don't do that!” [Diana]
”Don't bully her!” [Ash]
”Bully bully” [Charlotte]
”Sigh... calm down, we just come to have a talk with you” [King Estel]
”Hmm... where are Bond and the other?” [Ash]
Pretty sure I saw them as well
”They're currently planning on moving out from the orphanage, so I ask one of the estate agent to help them settle in” [Gizzere]
”They will live together? Aren't they going to...” [Ash]
”I told them... that your search for their families bore no results. They will still go to Kiserre to search for them, but Bond have decided to take live here taking care of other three” [Khamishah]
”I see... are they fine?” [Ash]
”...” [Other]
”Understood” [Ash]
A stupid question to ask, but I can't help myself to ask nonetheless. Am I too late? Can I do any better to save their families. What can I do to help them?
”Right, how about we all have a seat first, like I said, there's something I would like to talk to all of you here” [King Estel]
”The kid?” [Ash]
”Bladel, Yefefiah if you would” [Qis]
””Yes!!”” [Bladel, Yefefiah]
”NO CHARLOTTE!” [Ash]
”Brother Ash...” [Charlotte]
”Quit playing around!” [Qis]
”Charlotte, there's a fresh chocolate banana cake in the kitchen, it's mine but you could take it” [Diana]
”Bye-bye Brother Ash” [Charlotte]
I lost, to a chocolate banana cake
”Save some for Lara and Nara at least” [Ash]
””Lara and Nara??”” [Kara, Mara]
”Your new siblings. They're waiting at home” [Ash]
””Can we go and meet them now!!”” [Kara, Mara]
