Chapter 283 – Wild Guys (5)

Aglio Festa’s wagon basically had a maximum of 3 people, so A.A had to ride separately. Elsie seemed happy that she was sticking with me the whole time, and Eve seemed happy that she was able to use a knife as well. Sieri was standing in the doorway, looking at us with a grim expression. It was on her mind that she was leaving her, but she couldn’t take her with her because this subjugation in the Eastern Plains was her really dangerous operation of her.

“Sierri. Why are you so depressed?”

“I want to go too. Lord.”

Sieri was very blunt about her own opinions of her. However, Sieri did not have her fighting ability her, and she was not strong enough to accept the penalty as a nun.

“Sierri. I don’t know how long it will take. If you leave the territory for a long time, the security of the territory becomes unstable. Yeongji people need someone who is good at domestic affairs.”

“But…”

Sieri seemed a little dissatisfied when I told her, but she couldn’t help it. If you take it with you, it really becomes a burden. It was the ability of a competent lord to put the right people in the right place, and Sieri was better at domestic affairs than she was at war. Since she might be away from the manor for a long time, it was good that Sieri was in charge of domestic affairs.

“…I know.”

Sieri still had a gloomy face. I stroked her hair once and kissed her on the forehead. Sieri slightly closed her eyes at my expression of affection, then she looked back at me. I said.

“I’ll be back.”

“Yes. Bye.”

As Sieri said, she hugged me tightly. Eve and Elsie were waiting in the carriage. The coachman saw the scene of our couple parting and said.

“Even my wife is worried that I am going to the battlefield. I was scolded for forcing me to go when I didn’t want to send it.”

“Because I am a woman who likes to interfere. Why don’t you buy an expensive gift when you go back? I’m going to give Sieri a gift for her, and she can buy her aunt’s one for her too.”

“Aigoo, thank you.”

The coachman bowed her head and pulled the reins of her horse. Eve said.

“But will it be okay? She always leaves Sieri behind.”

“Right. I think Sieri should have taken her too.”

Elsie also agreed. But I shook her head.

“Then who sees my affairs?”

“You have Robin’s wife. He’s taking care of most of the old Delmon estate right now anyway.”

“Still, taking Sieri is dangerous.”

I just cut and said. Looking back, the wagon carrying A.A. Was running. The manor house was moving away, and Sieri was standing in front of the gate of her mansion, looking at us. For some reason, her appearance her seemed gloomy, and I was confused for a moment.

After Lucius and the others left, Sieri’s face was filled with melancholy. Aira and Soya did everything they could to cheer her up, but Sieri couldn’t regain her spirits, only occasionally smiling faintly. She seemed quite shocked that she had left her in the most important fight. Even today, Ira was by her side cheering her on.

“Miss Sierra. The lord probably didn’t put Sieri in the manor because he hated her or thought he didn’t need her. So, that… Cheer up!”

“I know. Ira. Thanks.”

Receiving Aira’s encouragement, Sieri grinned. But her smile was overshadowed. She was at a loss because Ira could see the melancholy behind her laugh at her.

“Excuse me.”

“Yes, please come in.”

Ira rose from her seat. It was Robin’s voice in her. Sieri gave Robin a curious look when he suddenly came to her office her. Normally, Robin was Sierina Eve, who was acting as the lord, because she didn’t come up to the office well. Robin had a letter in his hand her. Ira took her letter from Robin and asked.

“Captain. What is this?”

“This is a letter from the central branch of Daecheonsingyo.”

“The central branch of Daecheonsingyo?”

Sieri took Ira’s letter and repeated what Robin had said to her. While Robin waited, she opened her envelope and checked the contents.

[Dear Southern Priest Peta Lucius,

The operation to subdue the Sarang Church, which started last summer, has come to an end. The remnants of the demon king’s army that controls the beastmen must be eliminated. Daecheonsingyo is currently providing maximum support for this subjugation operation, but the central branch alone lacks human resources. I would appreciate it if you could gather and support volunteers from the southern branch of Daecheonsingyo who are willing to participate in this subjugation.]

Siri’s face changed strangely. Aira’s expression strangely changed as she read the contents of her letter to her. Robin asked Sieri, oblivious to the subtle air currents flowing between the two of them.

“Then, madam. Can I go to the church now and tell them about it?”

“Ah yes… Which…”

Cieri tried to bring up another story on top of this. The moment she was about to open her mouth, Aira interjected.

“No.”

Aira held Sieri’s hand tightly and said. Sieri looked at her Aira. Ira shook her head and spoke again.

“That can’t be done. Mr. Sierra. Because the lord will be really angry.”

“…How did you know? She hasn’t said anything yet.”

There were many ways she would know without saying anything. Ira was convinced by the gradual lightening of Sieri’s face as she read her letter to her.

She said, “She has no one to take care of the manor, and it’s dangerous. No matter how much she goes with the other Daecheon Shinkyo people… It’s dangerous.”

“First of all, I will deliver the matter to the church and come back.”

As the conversation got serious, Robin avoided the seat. Ira looked at her Sieri and continued to persuade her. But Sieri really wanted to go.

“I know too. But, but then what am I? It’s just, it’s like a person looking at a house. I am Mrs. Peta. Mrs. Peta, just like Mr. Eve. That’s why I want to help even if I can’t do as much as Eve does.”

“But…”

Speaking this far, Aira had no reason to persuade her. Sieri held Aira’s hand and spoke softly.

“Ira. Can you call Soya?”

“Oh okay.”

Aira disappeared and Soya was called. Soya gave a puzzled expression to Sieri who suddenly called her. Appearing crookedly leaning against the wall with her cane on, Soya rolled her eyes around the office.

“Why, why did you call me?”

“Miss Soya. I have a favor.”

Sierra stood up from her seat, she said. At Sieri’s request her, Soya jerked his body backwards and turned his head away.

“Boo, please?”

“Yes. I can’t ask for anything other than Soya-san.”

“What, what?”

Sieri opened the official document of the Archangelic Church in front of Soya, who was wary of Sieri’s every move of her. Soya, who carefully received and read the official letter, looked at Sieri and the official letter in turn and said firmly.

“No! I mean cut off.”

“I’ll say I forced you to. Yeah? Let’s go together.”

“Still… It’s too dangerous. The lord said to take good care of Mr. Sieri, but what should I say if I meet the lord in the Eastern Plains? Yeah? I’m scolded!”

“Please.”

Sierra continued to insist. Even from Soya’s point of view, it wasn’t that Sieri’s stubbornness in her was incomprehensible. She had never been of direct help to Lucius before. Elsie was with her to investigate the eastern plains, and only Eve and Elsie were taken with her to find weapons. Sometimes, they suddenly disappeared without contact.

Even though Soya understood Sieri’s behavior, she wanted to dissuade her.

“Still, there is no one in charge of Yeongji. I don’t know if the lord is entrusting it directly, but it doesn’t make sense for us to leave it with Mr. Yuba.”

“Why do you think you would entrust it to Mr. Yuba? No. Mr Soya. There are better people out there.”

“Yes?”

Soya’s face her, which had been making a puzzled expression, slowly turned into astonishment. She asked, shaking her distorted face.

“No, are you kidding? Yes?”

Sellu, who was swimming leisurely in the pool, was shaken off her body by a sudden call. The servant, who conveyed Sieri’s order her to come to her office her, rushed back to work. Sellu roughly wiped her water off her and began her slithering crawl toward her office her. She climbed the stairs, passed the hallway, arrived in front of the office, and when Selu opened the door, there was Soya crying and looking in all directions with anxious faces and Sieri with a serious expression.

Selu, who was a little taken aback by the unfamiliar atmosphere, asked.

“What. Why did you call me?”

“Mr. Sellu. Is Selou legally Eve’s mother?”

“Right?”

When drawing up the marriage papers, Lucius had registered Eve and Sellu in the Southern Territory family register. Thanks to that, on paper, Sellu was Eve’s biological mother. Sellu suddenly wondered why Sieri was mentioning the matter. As she tilted her head, Eri wiggled her fingers a little hesitantly, then she said.

“I… Mr. Sellu.”

“Why?”

“Sorry, that… Would you like to act as the lord’s assistant?”

“I do not know…”

Soya covered her face and let out a deep sigh. Sellu did not understand Sieri’s words, so he tilted his head and asked again.

“What?”

“Hey, the lord’s deputy.”

“…I?”

“Yes.”

“… Heh, I must be crazy. Sierra. I am a mermaid.”

“I-Eve is also representing you. It’s bad to fall for such prejudices!”

“… Am I bad?”

Sellu looked at Soya. Soya avoided Sellu’s gaze and muttered, “I’m dead.” Sellu was still looking at Sieri with a bewildered face. Siri said.

“Please. Mr. Sellu has to take charge of the estate, so I can go and help the lord. I really want to go and help.”

Sieri held out a volunteer application form for Daecheonsingyo. It was only after accepting that that Selu was able to grasp the situation. However, even as a woman, she was suddenly asked to act as Lord Lord, which was only embarrassing. She said as she wiggled her fingers.

“So what should I do?”

“First of all, dress like an acting lord…”

“…Hehe.”

It was a challenge from the start.
