Chapter 44: 028 I Home -2 (Part Two)

Gril went past the state of fluster and straight into freaking out “Y-you mean, ‘that’ imperial palace, sir?!”

“I’ve been inforhness when he hunted down the Vaana incident earlier As you’re a representative of the empire’s citizens, it is only correct that your acconised”

“T-that isn’t right! I haven’t done anything so grand!”

Gril’s denial only made Harman shake his head

How could he even say that he hadn’t done anything?

Judging from the recent events, the far of Gluttony He then evento the Imperial Prince’s own testiainst the vampire’s breath with a mere steel shi+eld too

These series of feats were alood to be true

‘Not only that, even his daughter is extraordinary’

Charlotte even knew the iuardian knight sent by an as-yet identified noble house to protect the iereat but if not, then it was Haret to the bottoht to the iaze between Har upon her face She could tell that Gril was deeply troubled by as happening

“…Excuse me, Gril? May I ask what this is?”

So, she decided to butt in, hoping that she could help hihtly scratched his head after spotting the aged docu showed itself while ere taking care of the undead reave it to ht it back home with us I’m not sure of the details, however”

“…You shouldn’t have done that, Gril If you carelessly handle ite about a powerful curse on you”

“H-haha, haha… y-you think so too? You know, since I didn’t knohat it was, I was thinking of asking you to show that thing to the Imperial Prince-ni like what Charlotte said would occasionally happen Items that zombies or skeletons used back when they were still alive would sometimes drop after they were defeated And oftenti those items up

However, most of the time, those recovered items would be plain and ordinary But in some rare circumstances, the recovered items could carry a curse

Charlotte frowned as she stared at the docuain Thankfully, it didn’t seeest letters that were still legible on the document, “Count He… Hera… Herai?”

Harh when he heard Charlotte’s voice He then quickly walked over to her to take a closer look at the document in her hand

The docu time just so happened to be a certificate of authentication, one that featured a genuine e this paper was a noble

And this certificate, it used to belong to…

“Haha, hahaha… It’s nothing to worry about W-wait, now that I think about it… Aha, you hbour shared some of their fresh bread, so how about we have some…?”

Gril worked suspiciously hard to hide the docu I pilfered from a corpse like some dummy in front of a Paladin, now can I?’

Har there dumbfounded, his expression somewhat dazed

‘The… Heraiz family?’

That noble household was renowned for their skill with the sword Their undying loyalty to the Theocratic Eends, too

The fae of the Land of the Dead Spirits fifty years ago, and tragically, the whole household wasAotten footnote in the annals of history

Harman continued to dazedly stare at both Charlotte and Gril

“Is so the matter…?”

“…?”

The far their heads in puzzlement

‘I see… So that’s what happened’

Harman slowly rubbed his face

These two… they were none other than the re survivors of the Heraiz bloodline, their true descendants Were they the unknown noble house supporting the Seventh Imperial Prince?

‘Was this the true reason why Charlotte knew the i seemed to make sense now

Gril hid his true identity, and while living on this Land of the Dead Spirits, he faithfully carried out his duties and protected the north His daughter,the prince frootten, and with fifty years of lengthy history going past them, their loyalty to the Holy E to this day

‘How happy would his ets to meet the Heraiz family’s descendants after all this tireat reward upon them

However, this was not a decision that Harman could make on his own

‘There must’ve been a reason for them to hide their identity’

It’d be too et about this family, however

Gril kept his true identity a secret There was the chance that the reason why he didn’t openly support the Seventh Imperial Prince could be that he wished to let the faeneration

Even if that was the case…

Haraze shi+fted over to Charlotte
