Chapter 88.2

Reynard wasn’t very good at hiding emotions at his face. Unlike Yurina, who kept a blank expression the whole time, he hesitated, glancing at Yurina every now and then when the big cards came to him. It wasn’t very visible, but Yurina immediately noticed the strangeness.

“Looks like you’re not very good, are you?”

“Next time I will win for sure.”

“In which of the following games?”

Yurina shuffled the cards again with a teasing smile. There was a knock. Betsy opened the door. One of the servants entered cautiously and bowed. Yurina became suspicious looking at his stern face.

The servant wasn’t from the villa, but a page who worked in the capital’s mansion of Carthia. He was mainly responsible for letters and parcels.

‘But why are you here?’

Seeing the letter in his hand, Yurina felt a little puzzled. There would be no one who would dare to send her an urgent letter from the capital. If only…

“What’s happen?”

When Yurina extended her hand to the servant and asked, the page hesitated for a moment. He saw Betsy approaching to receive the letter and then turned towards Reynard.

“This letter is not for my lady, but for Mr. Reynard.”

“For me?”

Raynard, who showed no interest in the servant, reacted only then.

“I have no one to send letters to.”

“Could it be Aiden?”

“Hmm…”

He received the servant’s letter with a slightly twisted lip, showing how much he didn’t like it.

Reynard, who had studied the seal on the letter, said:

“This isn’t the seal of the academy.”

Yurina quickly got up and walked over to him.

“Look at it.”

Yurina carefully looked at the letter Reynard handed her.

She was wrong in her assumptions. Golden seal with an eagle. Obviously…

“This is the seal of the imperial family.”

The golden color, which was the color of the eyes of the First Emperor, was the color representing the imperial family. And this golden seal could only be used by members of the ruler’s family. Moreover, the eagle symbolizes the imperial family.

Undoubtedly, it was a letter from the imperial family.

“Why the hell did the imperial family send you a letter?”

“I don’t know.”

“More than that, how did they know you were in the Empire? It’s still a secret, after all.”

Raynard, breaking the seal, suddenly exclaimed:

“Ah.”

He looked at Yurina like a child who has committed a misdemeanor.

“Actually, I betrayed to someone that I’m Blessed.”

“What? When?”

“The day I went to check on that wolf. I just showed them my red eyes. But they must have sniffed it all out.”

“Why did you have to do it?”

“Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to find anything. No one believed that attack was the work of a mage. Rather, it was a situation where I could have used a dumper if I made a mistake…”

Yurina couldn’t say anything further at the explanation that followed.

‘Well, there’s no way I’d listen to Ray’s words.’

If a child who had just become an adult noticed something that even the royal mages couldn’t figure out, it would be natural for them not to believe it. The words of ‘Blessed’, who was born as a genius, must have been credible.

But that was that and this was this. Then Yurina slapped Reynard’s arm.

“Why didn’t you tell me? You should have told me earlier!”

“Sorry, I forgot. After all, we experienced so much drama at that moment.”

It shouldn’t have hurt that much, but Reynard rubbed the spot where he had been slapped and looked in Yurina’s eyes. Yurina sighed and returned the letter to him.

“Let’s talk about it later. First tell me what’s in the letter.”

“Okay.”

It was rude to look at someone else’s letter, so Yurina calmly waited for him to speak for himself.

“Hm.”

Raynard, who had been slowly reading the letter, was now frowning seriously.

“What is there? Is it bad?”

If the imperial family favors Reynard, the tone of the letter will be friendly, not hostile. As a puzzled look appeared on Yurina’s face, Reynard handed her the letter instead of explaining.

“Read it yourself.”

He placed the letter in Yurina’s hand, crossed his arms over his chest, and closed his eyes.

‘What the hell is that?’

Yurina looked at the letter nervously.

Unlike Reynard’s reaction, the contents of the letter was not bad. Rather, it was only good things about him.

“They want to give you a title of a knight and hold a celebration party.”

It was a little sudden, but it wouldn’t have been surprising if the imperial family had already known that Reynard had returned.

If the title ceremony had already been scheduled, and even a celebration was planned, it meant that the imperial family considered Reynard a valuable talent.

‘But why are you reacting like that?’

Surprisingly, Yurina was able to understand why Reynard was like that when she saw the phrase at the end of the letter.

‘Next month?’

The date chosen was the end of the next month. Then there was about a month to prepare. If those two were in the capital, they would have received the news a little earlier. But the news reached them late, because they were far from the city.

“We’ll have to rush to the capital right now.”

Raynard lamented a little as he saw Yurina fold the letter in half.
