Translator: Atlasstudios Editor: Atlasstudios

The Midsummer Festival couldn’t be considered popular because it focused on ather for food and drinks Thereafter, the Mercenary association decided to ‘join in the fun’ and promote it into a festival But, even so, the Midsuhly by others because the nature of mercenaries was always loud and rowdy, and all of theluttonously Unlike other festivals, the Midsu speeches of missions and all—mercenaries wouldn’t know if they could see another day, so expectations and ideals were equal to nothing for them As formoney?

That hy the previous Midsummer Festivals had always been cold and cheerless Just like the previous Holy War Cere after the ballot and vows The civilians only wished to gather to the arena for a good shohere the couilds or ceremony were unimportant anizer, how could she tolerate having a less and empty festival as a person as tereous?

Therefore, a unique grand festival had begun asarrived

Accoical fireworks erupted, spiralling into the sky and exploding in all directions before hest point of Golden City see sun

Rhode looked at the scenery idened eyes, whereas Lize, Anne, and the rest were totally stunned

Over just one night, Golden City seeuilds and associations waved in the blue skies The golden sun rays were like a shapeless river flowing in the air with countless petals falling froave them a comfortable sensation…

“This is… the Midsummer Festival?”

Joey was overwhelht, panic Lydia loved huge occasions, but this didn’tscenes, especially theer the occasion, the et, and the worse they would perform This was only natural for any normal human, unlike rare cases like Anne, who couldn’t wait to juht, this is nothing Calh the scale of this fesivatal was huge, it was only compared to the usual Midsummer Festival If this was to be compared to the official festivals, this scale was actually rather sion Soul Ceremony; that was the true festival for the whole nation Compared to this, that was the real deal

But, even so, Rhode let out an inward sigh This ruler definitely found a lot of trouble for hi scene Wouldn’t his men become even more nervous? Luckily, he was already prepared for this; if not, he wouldn’t knoould turn out

Rhode withdrew his gaze and turned to everyone

“Get prepared and ill move out soon— Before that, spend some time to admire the scenery”

Rhode paused for a lance at everyone Marlene wasn’t with them This was pretty normal as, after the ceremony the day before, she informed him that she would return home and head directly to the Sacred Arena Rhode approved of her request because he knew that the Senias were located in Golden City and since Marlene was back, it wouldn’t be right not to let her return home That hy he didn’t object and since they were cooped up in the ca and the Senia Family didn’t look for them, wouldn’t it be too much to not allow her? To keep their faroup and not allow her hoh the Midsummer Festival was indeed important, it wasn’t to this extent…

In the end, Rhode agreed to Marlene’s ‘leave application’

But Rhode felt strange to not see Marlene around Ever since Marlene joined thelady quietly following him around And unlike Lize, Marlene’s observation on e many issues on hand If Marlene was around and noticed Rhode’s glance, she definitely would have stepped out and questioned hiht to the back of his head No matter what, she was the heir of the Senia Faht and be his assistant for such a long time Actually, Rhode had mentally prepared hiht leave thelady joined the ain a certain level of battle experience

Now that Marlene had no lack of battle experiences as she had i, this Midsummer Festival actually could be considered the end of ter lady performed well, it would mean that she passed the test She wouldn’t have anyards to Marlene leaving the group, Rhode would be lying if he said he didn’t feel a least bit of pity Marlene was the first ever to request to join Starlight as a mercenary She could be said to be the one who participated in the es This young lady was also reasonable and extre circuht be rather proud, but to Rhode, this wasn’t a flaw She was respected and loved within theto his wishes Even without Rhode around to give comroup As the heir of a huge family, she learnt a lot on this aspect as she would need to lead all of the, Rhode definitely didn’t wish to give up on such an outstanding assistant like her Although Gillian could ith him too, she was more suitable to be a leader than as an assistant On the other hand, although Lize was obedient, she didn’t have her own constructive opinions In addition, she had a gentle and loving nature, but wasn’t experienced in leading and co others Whenever Rhode was around, she didn’t seem to have any issues but once Rhode went away, there definitely would

As for Anne—he didn’t even need to think about it

Actually, from another perspective, Celia and Celestina suited Rhode’s requirement However, as spirits of the card deck, they couldn’t be outside 24/7, which hy it was hopeless Thinking of having the need to choose a new assistant after this Midsummer Festival, Rhode felt a little depressed

And deep in his heart, he admitted that he indeed didn’t wish for Marlene to leave his side
