209 Welcome! (1/2)

”There's a bit of a ruckus in the Empire. Helen's in a bit of trouble with it, so the safest place in the kingdom is .......

It's probably our house.

Deanna takes my words back. So that's how Deanna sees it.

There are wolves wandering around, acting as natural guards, and it's a forest, so it's like a labyrinth.

”And the house is enchanted to keep people out. No ordinary person can reach it.

Both Rikke and Liddy nodded their heads in agreement, emphasizing the safety of the house.

Samija didn't seem to get it. She's been living in the forest most of her life, so she probably doesn't realize that the Kuro Forest itself is considered a dangerous area.

”Well, that's why I'm going to live at home for a while.

What are you going to do when you go into town?

Samija asks. What about when you go into town? You could leave him behind. .......

I don't want to do that if I can help it. I don't want to do that if I can help it, because I don't want to have to deal with the fact that there was nothing I could do.

I'll go with you, but I'll keep an eye on you. I'll have him wear the wig on the first trip back and forth, and then I'll take it off when things settle down in the Empire.

Are you sure?

Of course, the risk of being discovered by our pursuers will be higher if we take him with us. He's been seen everywhere with the wig on.

You'll be fine. The people who know us best are the guards at the imperial guards, and they think that Helen and I are married, so it might be more convenient for us to be together.

At my words, Deanna and Sami'a jumped out of their seats. Rikke and Liddy were also getting nervous.

What the hell?

”...... Of course, just because I say so doesn't mean I've done anything about it. That's why they'll know if they look into it too closely.

Ignoring everyone, I continued talking and everyone sat down. I noticed that they seemed relieved, but I decided not to worry about it since they seemed to be fine.

As I said before, we knew what to expect, so we don't care how long you stay.

Deanna spoke to Helen in a calm voice.

I mean, we're family now.

Samija also sounded relaxed. Don't shake your chair or you'll get knocked down.
