Chapter 24 - Heilon (2/2)

I quickly shut my mouth.

“You chose to fight the monsters at a young age. So, maybe, because of this, you are sick of Heilon, the land I’m proud of. “

“….”

Abel sighed softly.

“I understand. Now, Heilon is a lot more stable. Recently, the number of monsters had decreased significantly. There are also a lot of strong knights and soldiers, so it’s not hard to defend. Sigren…he is also helping a lot too.”

It was then that I vaguely understood what Abel was trying to say.

“So now you can go wherever you want to go, Fiona.”

“…”

“You’ve just become an adult. You are free to do whatever you want. With the level of your magic skill, you would be able to enjoy all kinds of wealth and glory in the capital,”

Abel tapped his desk once or twice with his finger as if he was thinking something.

”If you’re concerned about your position as an illegitimate child, I would protect you in the name of Heilon. The capital would not treat you recklessly.”

“Uh… that is unexpected.”

“What?”

“I didn’t know the Duke would make such a kind offer.”

“Im just giving what you deserved.”

“What do you think I am? The remuneration and that are different things.”

“….”

I just couldn’t believe he was saying such a sweet thing as he always spoke so dirty and harshly. So, I was surprised Abel was thinking like this. Now, I’ve kinda a bit reflected on my habit of cursing him as a human without blood and tears in my heart.

Abel then searched his drawer, took out a letter, and hand it over to me.

“What is it?”

“It’s a letter from your hometown.”

If it was hometown, then it was from Count Green. I’ve never sent a letter since I came to Heilon. So, what has happened all of a sudden?

“We’ve never contacted each other before… why did they send it?’

“Well.. i haven’t opened it either. So, i don’t know what it’s about.”

I did really wonder what happened all of a sudden in the house that sent me to the war.

Abel looked at me for a moment and said as if something had come to his mind.

“If you want, I could destroy the home that pushed you here.” He laughed languidly like a wild beast in the afternoon sun.

“There are quite a few weakness that I’ve uncovered.” It seemed like a fiery burning spirit that Abel had was burning as it was the last one.

“Well, I’m not that vengeful. To be honest, I didn’t even care.”

Abel nodded his head sullenly.

“Well, if it’s with your personality, it would be. If it were me, as soon as I had the strength, I would wipe off without leaving a single speck of dust.”

Yeah, that was why I could never turn Abel into an enemy in the future.

I inadvertently grabbed the letter. Clearly, it was time for the original story to begin soon. It was time for the heroine to come out, and even more, if I was by Sigren side for nothing, I might be distracted.

“Anyways, your suggestion… thank you.”

“If you’re so thankful… call me father.” Abel didn’t give up until the end.

“I refused.”

“What a cold-hearted kid.”

I left the office with a grin at the sight of Abel strange grunting appearance.
