Chapter 302 - Shaikan’s Secret 3 (1/2)

Erwin, accompanied by Rick, arrived at Bless, the capital of the Holy Arthenia Empire.

On the way there, they had been attacked by fairies more than once.

They decided to use a Gigant and mobilized one, and because of that, they were able to avoid any threat.

When she arrived at Bless, the first one she contacted were the Argos agents, for information regarding the Marquis of Rakan.

If Luke had been there, he would have surely placed an information organization.

Using the code which they use to contact the agents, she asked for Luke and princess Reina.

“Lord, in the last civil war…”

The agent hesitated for a moment. The agent began to cooperate with the fairy and told them everything in detail.

Thanks to that, she learned that Luke played a major role in the civil war and received a title and estate from the Holy Empire and met Princess Reina, who was ruling the land as its pope.

“That is great. By the way, can we not see what kind of fairies are in the Marquis of Rakan?”

“You mean their dynamics?”

In response to Erwin’s question, the informant disguised as a peddler leaned, making Erwin ask the question again, “Yes, like has there been any kind of change?”

“Well, it might seem pretty normal to know, but there haven’t been any problems so far.”

After hearing that, Erwin felt relieved to some extent.

If the fairies of Rakan were apparently ordered by the Fairy leaders, the fairies would be in great trouble, and their relationship with Luke would be ruined.

‘They might have decided to not follow the head’s instructions.’

Maybe it was natural.

Luke didn’t discriminate or oppress them after taking in the fairies into his estate.

On the contrary, whenever an unfortunate incident occurred, humans were more likely punished.

Even the villages of the Marquis, who weren’t pleased with it, didn’t bother with the rule later on.

It was because after the fairies with talents and abilities developed the industry and mansion, their livelihoods turned rich.

So although they were still a part of the same estate, the territories following Rakan seemed glad.

And it was turning into a rather fair treatment for the fairies.

In any case, the atmosphere at the place, no fairy in the Rakan estate was drunk in the concept of the Second Coming of the Abaron reign of the Legendary Magic Empire.

There were many who were satisfied with their stable life and wished to continue to do so.

‘The problem was with the fairies who were living elsewhere.’

Before meeting Luke, Erwin saw the lives of the fairies who were living in the continent.

There were those who showcased their powers and lived on par with humans.

However, there were more fairies who were being persecuted as slaves, and there were a lot more who were hiding.

If the fairy representatives showed any strong prospects, they were all bound to follow them, and the war between the humans and the fairies wouldn’t end well.

‘Considering the future of the fairies, the modest way of Luke is better even though it is slow. I need to stop the plans of the fairy representatives.’

“What are you thinking so seriously? The soup will get cold.”

“That…”

At the question of Rick, Erwin raised her head and looked at him.

The menu ordered from the restaurant was just as they were placed.

First, Rick was slicing the bread then he talked to Erwin, who didn’t even open her mouth.

“Is it because of those fairy representatives?”

“Yes, that is it.”

On the way to Bless, Rick listened to Erwin.

He too thought that it was unfair for the elves to be treated like this for many years.

However, even so, the attitude of the fairies didn’t seem to be right.

“I think there is no need for you to be so worried about it. No matter how much they try to do, there are limitations to acting openly,” said Rick.

“Yes, that is true.”

Princess Reina was currently the Holy Pope of the Empire.

The escort of the pope was powerful that even the elves wouldn’t be able to overlook them, and then there was Gregory, the most powerful person of the continent.

She couldn’t even imagine them breaking past him and hurting her, but that still didn’t make her feel relieved.

They weren’t aware of the conspiracy of the fairy representatives and wouldn’t be able to respond to a sudden situation.

Therefore, it was important to inform them of the danger.

Erwin, who ate at the restaurant, visited the palace.

When she arrived at the palace, she gave a heartfelt thanks to Rick who had accompanied and helped her all the way.

“Thank you very much for your help.”

“Thank you. I am already glad that I was able to help the disciple of Erenes.”

Erwin and Rick shook hands.

“Are you going to visit your son now?” Asked Erwin

“Exactly. I don’t know how he will react to his father who is supposed to be dead.”

“I am sure that he will be happy.”

“Huhuhu. Maybe he will…”

Saying their goodbyes, Erwin moved into the palace.

Guards standing at the front gate crossed their spears and stopped her.

“Stop. No one can enter here.”

“There is someone I would like to visit. Tell sir Victor that Erwin is here to see him.”

“Sir Victor?”
