"Mrs. Emma, a letter seems to have arrived for you." I was drinking a cup of tea while sitting at the table reading a book when Lari came running into the room.
"A letter for me? Who sent?" I don't remember waiting for anyone's contact, but it was more likely a letter from Lucio since he's been away for a few days. Maybe something happened.
"It's a letter from Lisandra, it seems to be urgent." At Lari's words, I immediately removed the cup of tea from my mouth and stood up. I ran to Lari and got the letter, there was written the name of Lisandra.
"Thank you, Lari." I took the letter and went to my room. I was a little nervous about what was written here, could it be that something serious had happened in the capital?
I opened the letter and started reading.
"That bastard brat…" I couldn't believe what was there, what is Noah thinking ignoring my orders like that?
I was starting to get angry.
I thought for a moment, but the more I thought, the more irritated I started to get. I stayed there for a while with my eyes closed as I tried to think of something that could be done.
And so I had decided to go to the capital.
"Lari, come here," I called for Lari, and then she opened the bedroom door quickly.
"Can I help you?"
"Contact someone who can take me to the capital, see if anyone from the village is close to taking a trip there. If no one is going there, please contact the guild and they will provide me with transport."
"Hm, are you going to the capital?"
"Yeah, looks like Noah decided to do something stupid."
"Did something happen to Noah?" Lari looked nervous and started to shake, she cared a lot about him, didn't she?
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. And you'll see Noah soon." I smiled at Lari causing her to pull away, I'm sure I didn't have a nice smile on my face right now.
"Okay, I'll ask the village people."
"Thanks."
After that, Lari left the room quickly looking a little scared.
'Although I could just take a horse and go by myself. But I didn't really like riding a horse, my ass hurt every time, so I rather ride in a carriage.
I just hope someone is willing to take me there. If not, I will have to go alone.
This brat's affront cannot be ignored, wait for me, Noah!

After a few minutes, Lari appeared in my room again, I was already preparing a bag for me to take on my trip.
"Lady, it looks like a merchant is leaving the village today, he said he'd take you with no problem... Eh." I was putting away my things angrily, Lari seemed to have noticed how I was feeling so she backed away from the bedroom a bit.
"Okay, let's go." I grabbed the bag that I had put some clothes in and also took my sword. As soon as I left the room, Lari looked at me worriedly.
"Tell me, what did Noah do?" You're quite worried about him, and you're right to be.
"He did something that made me very angry, you can tell right?" I smiled at Lari and she shook all over her body: "Lari, prepare something to eat for the trip."
"Right!"
"And also prepare plenty of water bottles."
"I will do all of this immediately!"
Then Lari started to prepare another bag with a large number of bottles of water and also bowls full of food, after getting everything I went out and found a carriage right in front of my house.
It was a very spacious carriage and there were already three men who looked adventurous in it.
Outside, there was an old man with a big white mustache on his face. He was also almost bald and what little hair he had on his head was also white.
The man wore some beautiful and luxurious clothes, I had never seen this merchant before.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Madame Emma." The old man bowed as he greeted me.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, who are you? I don't remember seeing you around here before."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm going to introduce myself again. My name is Briso and I am a trader only. Your husband had contacted me a few days ago so I could bring some things here."
"I see, he should have warned me about this."
"Yes…" Briso just gave a bitter smile and continued: "These three guys are adventurers I hired to guard me, their names are…"
"No need to say that, I don't care. Now let's go?" I ignored the presence of the three men and put my bags inside the carriage, it was spacious in here.
After putting my things away I went to Lari to talk to her.
"Listen, let all the residents know for me, and Lucio should also come today, so tell him I went to the capital to solve some problems."
"Right."
"And take good care of the house while Lucio doesn't arrive."
"Alright... Listen, I can-"
"Hm?"
"It's nothing..."
Lari seemed to have given up on what she intended to say, so I didn't press her. Then I got into the carriage with the merchant, and another man who was up ahead started to drive the carriage.
This trip would take a few days, wait for me Noah, let's have a very nice chat when I meet you. You will regret not listening to me.

It's been a few days since Lisandra found out about my work as an adventurer. I asked Lisandra to return my license, but she completely ignored me.
When Rose came here a few days ago, I told her that I had completed the quest, but I also couldn't complete the quest since I was without my license.
But she reassured me that she would make the mission complete and that I could seek the reward when I get my license back. Of course, she also said that she would send support to that nearby village that was attacked.
She seemed to have been very upset when she heard about what had happened, so she felt obligated to help that village.
But what worried me most at the moment was the arrival of my mother. Rose had also told me that Lisandra had gone to the guild and that she had communicated to my mom about everything that had happened.
I told her I already knew this would happen, but I didn't think Lisandra would make that decision so quickly.
And since it's been a few days, it won't be long before my mother gets here. The letter would take a week or a little less to get there, and by now it had been two weeks.
In other words, if my mother comes the same day the letter arrived there, it would probably arrive in a short time.
"Damn, I feel nervous." It's been a while since I've seen our mom, and now that I'm going to see her after so long, she must be pissed at me. I wanted our reunion to be something good, but it will be the other way around.
"Noah, you look a little nervous, did something happen?" I was in the middle of the classroom now. As I was a little distracted, I was called Bertga.
"I'm just a little scared."
"Scared?"
"My mother is coming to the capital today."
"Isn't that great? You probably haven't seen your mom in a while."
"It's not good, she's coming to the capital precisely because she's mad at me, you have no idea what she's like when she's mad."
"Is she that scary?"
"Yes, she is."
"I'm sorry…" Bertga couldn't help me, but he tried to support me emotionally.
It was almost time for us to go home. Many days I went back to the inn apprehensive that I would meet my mother. I'm really scared, aren't I?
'I need to calm down.' I put this in my mind and focused on the class. But when I started to focus the class was already near the end, the bell rang while the teacher left the room.
"So, do you think your mom will be here today?" Berga asked.
"I don't know, but I'll start preparing myself." I smiled at him and then we walked out of the room together. When I arrived at the gate, I didn't find Ciaphia and Lisandra as usual, only Ciaphia was there.
"Lisandra already left?" I asked as soon as I approached her.
"Yes, she seems to be looking forward to something, also a woman I don't know showed up at the school gate just now."
"Does this woman happen to have long black hair? And she also seemed irritated?"
"Um, do you know her? Lisandra seemed very close to her, and Lisandra also seemed very happy to meet her."
"That woman is our mother."
"Your mother? Wow, she's so young, I'm just jealous of you for having such a beautiful mother."
"Hm? You are weird."
"Do not say that."
After our conversation, I said goodbye to all my colleagues and then left. So our mother is already here.
But why didn't she wait for me too? Maybe she wants to surprise me when I get to the inn? Man, this is scary, what is she thinking?
