Chapter 59.2

Betsy muttered softly upon seeing Yurina’s surprise.

“I understand. I was scared too when I saw Ray.”

Yurina had no intention of blaming Betsy. She did something for granted as Yurina’s personal maid. However, the consequences couldn’t be avoided.

Yurina sighed as she watched Edwin and Justin now watch Reynard from the sidelines.

When the usually quiet Betsy screamed, everyone in the neighborhood immediately rushed to the office, thinking that something had happened. If it was limited to servants, one could send them away saying that nothing was happening. The problem was that they were twins who had just returned to the mansion.

As soon as Edwin and Justin saw Reynard, they were startled, thinking he was the killer. But Yurina rushed to cover him. While the brothers were in the academy, while Raynard lived in the mansion, they only knew about him from stories and never saw him in person.

It was good to eliminate this misunderstanding at the root, but from that moment on everything became somehow awkward.

“Why the hell did you show up without announce?”

Edwin and Justin became suspicious to the fact that Reynard returned in secret, not telling anyone about his early graduation. It’s strange in general that not a single soul in the mansion knew about his return. Besides, being alone with Yurina in the living room is also very suspicious.

“It’s called a surprise.”

However, their reaction was understandable. Yurina and Reynard were no longer children. Raynard was already an adult, and Yurina will also become an adult in a year.

Yurina sighed as she looked at the backs of the twins in front of her. She moved closer to see Reynard, but the two stood firmly in the way between Reynard and her.

Finally she craned her neck over Edwin’s shoulder.

“And why did you sneak into the mansion secretly?”

“He didn’t sneak. He just walked into the hallway and walked towards me.”

Reynard nodded at Yurina’s words.

However, Edwin and Justin were not finished with their suspicions.

“Then why were you alone in the living room? You didn’t even call Betsy.”

“We needed to discuss something.”

“And what’s that?”

The twins looked at each other and threw their questions. They had shocked faces, as if they had been betrayed by someone they trusted.

“Why?”

“What do you two mean by that?”

“What is not clear here?”

Yurina rubbed her temples and sat down on the sofa.

“I was surprised to hear about his early graduation from the academy. Where is this seen at all? And if the case turned out to be dirty, I would have to secretly return him to academy so that others wouldn’t know about it.”

Justin narrowed his eyes.

“Yeah, this is all very strange.”

“That’s right.”

Yurina, who had previously tried to calmly explain herself, now covered her mouth, losing all will to resist.

It was because her and Reynard’s last situation came to her mind. The one right before Betsy shows up.

And, of course, this scene would have turned out even worse if the twins had seen it.

“Why are you silent?”

Yurina shrugged at Edwin’s question.

“That’s all.”

“Really?”

This time, Justin shot a glance at Reynard. He also just shrugged.

“That’s all.”

The twins still harbored distrust, but they didn’t ask Yurina anything else. Instead, they took on Reynard again.

“You learned magic, right? I heard you’re Dave’s student.”

“That’s right.”

“You don’t look like a wizard at all.”

“It’s just a prejudice.”

Her three brothers, knights, were larger than average men. Yurina, who is slightly younger than them, often thought that she was a dwarf among giants.

But, by the way, Reynard was so good-looking that he didn’t stand out from the background of her three brothers.

“It’s not prejudice. It’ss the norm.”

“Even if it’s the norm, I’m not the norm.”

They would be great to get along, but why are these people fighting a war of attrition? Yurina crossed her arms over her chest, feeling the tension rising between them. It didn’t look like she should intervene, so she just watched.

Fortunately, this delicate situation was quickly resolved by an unexpected visitor. Hearing the noise, Riggs Carthia rushed to the place. Always calm, he didn’t overreact like the twins, even after hearing everything from Edwin.

Rather, he quickly wanted to get used to Reynard.

“I heard a lot of stories. Dave’s student? There were rumors in the Empire.”

It was unusual for a marquis’s son and a knight to treat a man without a title like that. As if he was noticing this, Raynard took his outstretched hand in a gentle motion.

“I’m not that good.”

Riggs laughed at this false modesty.

“You don’t have to be embarrassed. The fact that you are Dave’s only student is enough of that fact. I thought Dave would live his whole life without students.”

“I don’t think he will have a second one.”

Reynard’s voice was proud. His message was this: in the future, no one will be found who can surpass me.
