While the situation at the Rustchil Duchy had become even more ambiguous, Alfia sighed deeply, "Hah."
"Aww, what's the matter? Are you feeling lonely?" Noticing that deep sigh, Scarlet nudged the elf's back. That only caused the princess to scoff, "What are you talking about? I'm just basking in the fact that these days have been peaceful."
"Can you really call it peaceful with those two?" Scarlet retorted as she pointed at one Herrick and Melor. Those two were the definition of what rowdy was. No way could these days be peaceful with the two being there.
"..." Point taken. That only caused Scarlet to grin, "Don't kid yourself. Without him here, it doesn't feel the same." The others may not say it, but they were missing Keith.
"I-" "I miss him as well. It's really different without him here." Scarlet wasn't going to deny it. The mansion was much brighter with him.
"Did they say when they were going to return?" The two had been gone for quite some time now. However, Diana raised a bag in the air yesterday and said that Keith had sent this over for them to try.
The Ly Mangos were positively delicious. However, the mangoes were incredibly sour. I'm definitely going to talk to him about it.
"If Keith had sent the bags over, he should be returning soon," Gabriel muttered. Keith knew his priorities; that meant the situation with the Rustchil family was finished.
"True." Alfia and Scarlet chuckled.
"Carolyn." Everyone turned around and noticed that there was Alger. It was surprising.
"Hello, Alger. Why are you here?" Carolyn got up and was a little surprised.
"Why can't I be here? I'm meeting with my girlfriend." Alger grinned as he stared at her.
"What?!"
Alfia and Scarlet looked at one another. What occurred in this short time frame?!
...
"Father, will you two be alright by yourself?" Krystal was still worried. She wanted to stay at home for a little longer.
Edmund shook his head, "We'll be fine. Everything is finished now." The news about him being a traitor was going to vanish. It would probably take tomorrow.
"But-"
"I can't have you miss classes." The two were still students. And the break hadn't even come yet, "You guys have the midterms as well." Being a student at the academy before, he knew about everything.
"...Understood." Krystal wasn't going to say anything else.
Edmund, "Also, I want you to take this." He handed something over to him.
"Hmm? It's a sword." A one-handed sword. On the blade's hilt was a wolf, the emblem of the Rustchil family.
"Take this sword with you. Use it to protect the people you care about." Edmund smiled.
“...”
"You'll probably never beat him in a battle of words, Little Gem." Cedric shook his head. This man could brute force the damn thing down.
"..." Krystal took a deep sigh as she looked at Cedric, "But Grandpa, you have been eating at the cart?" This was new to her.
"Mmhmm."
"Then why haven't I seen you eating there?" She should have spotted him there.
"Hmm? Have you been going there as well, Little Gem?"
"No, I work there."
Cedric froze, "...You work there?"
"Yes, Keith makes me take orders."
"..." Cedric's expression was indescribable. There was this one second of absolute silence before the man grabbed Keith by the collar!
"How dare you, you stinking brat!"
"What?!" Keith actually went to sleep and was shaken by the sudden tug.
"How dare you use my daughter as a waitress!"
"I thought she was a good waitress!" Keith tried to move his hand away. But that only caused Cedric to shake him even more!
"I will end you!"
"Grandfather, please calm down!" Krystal grabbed Keith's hand, trying to move his hand away. But the old man continued to shake him, "How dare you! How dare you! How dare you!"
