Chapter 339 – The Beginning Must Be Grand.
“Sister… I’ll quit being an adventurer in a little while.”
“Huh.”
Ceria, whose cheek was held by Lily, was surprisingly calm.
As soon as he heard her remarks, he expected her to ask him why he quit being an adventurer.
Lily, who had prepared many answers in her head, blinked her eyes.
“···Is that the end?”
“Huh? What?”
“Well, I thought Ceria would be more surprised.”
“Wouldn’t anyone expect that when they see you with an adventurer?”
When Ceria raised the corners of her mouth and spoke, Lily was unable to hide her embarrassment.
“Uh… Is that much?”
“When your sister is with her adventurer, she needs to see what kind of face she is.”
She thought that with Seria, she would manage her facial expressions in her own way.
If I was hit with a direct hit like that, there was nothing I could say.
“She knows her sister doesn’t want her to be an adventurer.”
“···.”
“So she asked me earlier if she wasn’t having a hard time and she lied and said she wasn’t my sister!”
Seria, who called her a liar and revealed the true nature of her pouting earlier, took the lead with excitement.
And.
At the entrance to her mansion, her expression changed and she stopped in her tracks, grabbing the iron door.
“What should I say to the two of you…”
“Did you get into a fight?”
When she first saw Ceria’s path, Lillyne was also curious about it.
“It’s not like that. Today, my sister and I are together.”
Rattling-!!
As the front door opened with such force that it seemed as if it would break, Sister Electra’s gaze turned.
“”Seria!””
Seeing the faces of Ricke and Chloe, her insides were burning with worry.
Ceria smiled and waved her hand.
“Sorry~ I’m gone.”
She didn’t think it was a topic worth bringing up to her sister at such a busy time.
It’s impossible to cram her own problems into her complex head without giving her any space.
‘Once it’s all sorted out…’
Rather than focusing on her feelings and pouring out her words.
She felt the need to organize her thoughts a little more.

– It’s Lily’s business, so I’ll handle it. No, let me handle it.
There was no need for Roman to step forward, just one word from Eclair was enough.
Even in the capital, public officials who were said to be putting in some effort took notice of Eclair and were dispatched to the outskirts of the country, a place he had never heard of or seen before.
By skipping all the cumbersome procedures, the case ended with Geritz Electra’s betrayal.
Liline instantly became Electra’s rightful owner.
It was not difficult to put an end to a series of abnormal situations.
If you announce the results with just a few additions, you will have a compelling reason.
It was rare for someone like Geritz, who was certain to be a baron, to engage in immoral acts.
This is something that only those who know the prerequisites know.
It was not uncommon for an eldest son, who was pushed by his second son or whose future was in jeopardy, to have an accident like this.
Those who do not know the internal situation and have only heard the news from across the country think so and move on.
Some outsiders who knew Geritz’s position in the Electra family had doubts.
The moment he became a baron, the people who had been promised his rights made disgruntled noises.
As famous public officials came down from the capital to take care of the village baron’s business, I swallowed my words and went into hiding, wondering what was going on.
In the past few days, public officials have been sorting out the tragedy of Baroness Electra like a storm.
Roman didn’t waste his time either.
He catches Robert lying in the dormitory and blows off the sixth wanderer’s head.
As she watched Rikke train day and night, she began to increase her potential.
Rike, who felt like a fire was burning due to what Seria experienced, is getting closer to perfection.
‘I’m sure you’re curious… It’ll be soon.’
How does the Marquis of Skadi feel after facing mysterious results twice?
The public officials of the capital rushed to the incident accompanied by her own knight, but how frustrating it must be for her to feel anxious that no one came to visit her.
*****
There are words that happened in a past life.
[ When Jeongseung’s dog dies, mourners flock to the door, but when Jeongseung dies, not a single ant comes near. ]
[ If Jeongseung’s family’s horse dies, he throws away the spoon he was eating and runs away. If Jeongseung dies, he eats all the food he was eating and moves around leisurely. ]
Even if one is not acquainted with a political figure, it is a calculated action to seek out the portrait in order to make a mark and gain favor.
On the other hand, the portrait of a political monk can also be evaluated as a calculated action from a different perspective.
Flattery depending on the presence or absence of power.
A sentence that shows a desolate world where there is no looking back once power is gone.
There are no words that are exactly the same in this world.
The above meaning is significantly similar to the empire.
When Lilyne takes over her baronetcy and holds her funeral for her family who were victims of her devastation.
This means that the status and authority of the current head of the family are determined depending on who steps into it.
Normally, who would pay attention to such a baron from the outskirts, but if there are some who are looking for profits, there is nothing better than power and connections to silence the noise and give legitimacy.
“It’s been a while since I tried skipping, how is it?”
Eclair smiled with satisfaction as she saw Roman appear with his hair neatly brushed.
“Should I say he has the appearance of a veteran adventurer? Although he looks too strong, he’s cool and cool, isn’t it?”
Eclair stood on tiptoe to tidy up her lover’s clothes.
Roman quietly accepted his hand and smiled.
Eclair’s black suit is not a skirt, but rather slim pants.
Her silver hair, jade-like skin, and ruby-like eyes stood out, making her charm dazzling.
“Kitty looks good in anything she wears. I want to get rid of all the men who roll their eyes at her and watch her alone.”
“Hmm…! Take care. I will glare at those who overdo it.”
Roman’s compliment seemed to make her feel very happy, so she twitched her lips to press the corner of her mouth.
“You know that it’s a providence that men’s eyes are drawn to a pretty woman. This is both flattering and irritating.”
“So, are you going to let the world know whose woman this Eclair Dritna is? I’m okay with that right now.”
“That too soon. Really soon.”
“···.”
Eclair blushed and smiled at Roman’s words, which instantly gave up his playfulness and hinted at the near future in a serious voice.
As soon as the hand that was touching her collar fell, she turned her head and looked at Electra’s mansion.
“Kitty goes in first. In about 10 minutes, I’ll lead the adventurers in.”
“Hmm… There’s no need to wait too long, so come in at your own convenience.”
“Okay. If you see the kids inside, take care of them.”
“I’ll check it right away when I get in. It won’t be long, so I’m sure they’ll be together well.”
Alice was the first to enter, leading Rike and Chloe, and the two participated wearing academy uniforms befitting their status as cadets and close friends of Ceria Electra.
In this case, it is better to go in one by one and show your presence rather than attacking all at once.
First, to conduct the ceremony, a famous high-ranking priest from the capital was invited in the name of Roman.
Secondly, the 5th knight, Eclairdna, declared Lilyne Electra to be her closest personal friend and even took her leave to attend, attracting the attention of many nobles.
Third, Roman, a platinum adventurer, even forced several high-ranking adventurers to attend.
The two gold-level adventurers who are currently members of the same party as Liline Electra seem ordinary.
The funeral began with an air of authority worthy of a great nobleman somewhere.
– We have gathered here to receive somber news, but our brothers have finally found rest in the arms of our Goddess.
-If we say goodbye with a sincere heart, the Goddess covers us with her love. At this funeral, let us say goodbye. May their souls soaring to the sky find peace in a world where sorrow does not arise.
Pray from the store.
Ceria, who was doing her prayers, had a face that couldn’t hide the fatigue that had come from chasing after Liline for several days.
Since she was not the head of the family, she had no need to attend, so she was taken by Alice and her friends and taken to her own room in the mansion.
Next was the funeral procession and funeral.
Even mass and condolences to the goddess.
Eclair and Roman took action and stayed in place until all procedures were completed.
This provides ample proof of Liline’s position.
After all the procedures were completed and people left one by one, it became quieter.
Lily Ne came over and bowed her head.
“···Thank you. If I were alone, I wouldn’t have been able to prepare properly.”
She looked tired, but she seemed at ease now.
Roman and Eclair were extremely satisfied, knowing that this was a greater peace than anything else.
“If a problem arises in the future, I hope you will feel comfortable telling it to me instead of hiding it.”
“Yes. Thank you…”
As Lily Ne, holding her hands with Eclair, begins to carry on her saddam.
Roman left the room for some alone time.
Sarah. Sarah.
Dark times.
As I walk through the small garden, listening to the sound of grass rustling with my steps, something comes to mind.
‘Cigarette···.’
This is a clean body that has never smoked a cigarette, but should we call it human psychology or memories and habits from a past life?
When attending a family event, there were strange things that came to mind because of the unique atmosphere.
“Hmm.”
Heading to a corner like this is no different from a habit, like looking for cigarettes.
As I was sitting on the landscaping stone in the garden, watching Chambers break his sobriety record, a familiar figure approached me.
“Adventurer!”
This unique cheerfulness that inevitably makes people smile.
Roman’s head turned at the sound of Ceria’s voice.
“Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“Chu, I slept enough.”
She moved a little to the side to give her space to Seria, who was approaching her with a hesitant step.
Seria, who noticed her, placed her butt in her empty space.
“I’ve had a hard time for a few days. It’s not normal, right?”
“You did all the hard work. I just followed along…”
Roman asked after seeing Ceria’s actions of putting her hands together and squirming.
“Are you okay now?”
What is okay?
Since it was an issue that she did not need to address, Seria slowly expressed her affirmation.
There was no need for her to give Ceria useless and heavy advice about her future, and she had no intention of burdening her.
As the atmosphere lightened up by sharing a few jokes, Seria also began to slightly smile.
Roman got up and said, “Let’s go in and eat something.”
“···Adventurer.”
“Huh?”
Roman got up from the landscaping stone and dusted off his pants before looking away.
Ceria pursed her lips with a blush and mischievous smile that could be read even under the night sky.
“I think I have a cramp in my leg again.”
“···.”
“Can I carry you on my back?”
