Chapter 105 - Coming Out

After another 53 days...

Zara was drawing talismans on the floor in the main hall, while Mila was sitting beside her and watching silently...

Mila started treating Zara like a member of the family ever since the engagement was announced, and she now spends a lot of her time with her, and although it is impossible to understand anything of what Zara is doing just by observing, she still observes what she is doing silently from the side after she finishes preparing the food for the three of them

Since she did not know anything about drawing talismans, she tried to give Zara advice in training, but every time she tried to give her advice on ways to absorb and manage energy inside the body, and other things of this topic... Zara would reply to her with a theory that was better and more efficient than what she knew! 

She said that all the answers came from the technique that Robin taught her.

So with time, Mila came to find that she kept opening the subject just to hear Zara's opinion and get more ideas from it... It was Zara who is teaching her energy cultivation and not the other way around!

Although she really wanted to see that genius technique that Zara was talking about, the technique that made the barely 11-year-old girl about to break through to the eighth level and gave her so many insights... But she held herself from the request.

She decides to wait for Robin to give it to her himself.

Today, as Zara was busy drawing and Mila sitting by the side as usual, suddenly a voice came, "Yo~ what are you two girls doing?"

The two suddenly turned their heads to find Robin leaning against the opened door, smiling, and holding two small booklets in his hand.

"Father!" Zara left what she was doing and went to hug Robin, finally, after more than 5 months since arriving at the Burton family, Robin came out of his seclusion by his choice!

"Haha, good girl, good girl," Robin gently stroked her hair

It was hard to fathom what would those who participated in the auctions would think if they knew that this 11-year-old girl is the maker of everything they are fighting to buy...

As for Mila, she was still sitting in amazement, "You... how did you get there without me noticing you?"

Robin laughed out loud as if he was waiting for this question, then spoke with a big smile, "I wanted to test something, and it looks like I succeeded! Hey... why don't you get up to greet your fiancé and give him a hug, girl?!"

Mila's face flushed red when she heard this and remembered that kiss, she looked away, "Hmph, you are speaking as if you just came from some adventure overseas, we see each other every day!"

"Hahaha alright, I'm used to having a little party after the end of every successful seclusion, it is nothing fantasy, I would just take one of the boys with me to a restaurant... but since they're not here, would one of you like to come with me?"

"I'm coming!" Zara raised her hand excitedly

" Good!" Robin patted Zara's head, then looked at Mila, "How about you girl, are you coming?"

" .... why not." Mila shrugged with a smile

"Excellent! I know a good restaurant Billy and I used to go to when we were kids, I think it's still open... Let's go!"

-----------------

.... crowds

Since Robin and the two girls around him walked out of the building, he caught everyone's attention in the administrative zone, but because everyone here has their own power or authority, every reaction was a greeting from afar and then continuing the course.

But the situation completely changed when Robin exited the administrative zone...

Everyone kept looking up at the *legendary teacher*, the gorgeous Mila, and the little prodigy Zara, all present together walking side by side...

They actually do not know what Zara can do, and only a few girls of the upper class of the family see her and play with her daily, so they don't really know what kind of a prodigy she is...

But after the tales of what Peon and Theo had done on the battlefield spread, and then the news of them being adoptive kids of Robin took place, they already linked anyone that Robin adopt to be an absolute genius, and she also has to be one!

It's easy to imagine what happened when the three appeared together... In the blink of an eye, the streets were crowded with people coming from every direction, some of whom started shouting:

"Robin! Robin! Robin!"

"You are my idol, Lady Mila!!"

"Zara, you are the girl of my dreams!"

The only thing that prevented all of them from approaching and blocking the path for the three of them was Mila's repellent aura that kept everyone at a certain distance, but with each step they took, the crowds would only increase! 

"You had to come to a restaurant on foot, hah?" Mila spoke annoyingly

Robin laughed then replied, " I have to admit, I underestimated what would happen, how would I know that I am that popular? haha, but I do not regret it either... It is not bad to engage with my people. 

I'd rather everyone see me among them and show me their love and respect face to face than to remain isolated in one valley while they are in another... A good leader cannot lead his people from afar. "

"... You literally just came out of five months seclusion." Mila looked at him in surprise as she continued to advance and shove people aside with her aura.

"Haha, it is not like I'm doing it on purpose, I am not some weirdo who likes to isolate myself! that is what I have to do to give everyone here a chance for a better tomorrow.."

The conversation was not very private, everyone around them heard it... 

They didn't know why he isolated himself for those five months, but his response warmed their hearts, and the fact that the famous Saint Mila was talking to their son in a natural way without arrogance, and walking next to him to make way for him not the other way around, this gave them happiness and delight... 

The rumors about Mila controlling Robin has gone viral lately, some believed it and some denied it... but today those who denied can feel proud and take this incident as evidence of their belief

after walking for a few minutes, Robin pointed towards an old-looking, small restaurant on the side of the road "Aha, this is the restaurant, I was sure it was still working!" then headed straight for it

The restaurant was completely empty, Robin picked a table on the side and led the two girls there, and Mila kept her repulsive aura concentrated at the door so that no one of the crazed crowd would enter after them.

There was no one in the shop but an old man with almost closed eyes and a little girl

After Robin settled on his table, he called out, "Uncle Tim, bring three sets of the shop specials."

"Coming." A hoarse voice answered, then the old man got up and slowly walked towards the kitchen, very... slowly...

"... Well then, this will probably going to take some time... Ahem, Mila, tell me what happened around me during my time in seclusion?" Robin looked at Mila and spoke

"Hmmm, as for the auction hall, it is going well, although the same talismans are sold in the second month, they are always sold at good prices and everyone walks out satisfied, I think the total profits have reached half a million gold coins by now... 

And it does not seem to be ending anytime soon, as a few noble families from around the kingdom are buying lands in Jura city and building their own permanent residence here so that they can gather the information about the talismans sales, and be a house for the big shots of their families to live in it if they came for an auction...

this was an unexpected source of income for the family as well and uncle Brain raised the prices of the lands to the sky, at the same he ordered to start building more Inns and huge hotels to satisfy the new needs.

there were a few attempts to make trouble, but uncle Brain and Billy handled it, and the Bradleys also helped in controlling everything - no need for thanks -, the royal family also made it clear that they would not tolerate any trouble makers in the great Jura auction."

Robin nodded with a smile, "Good.. well.. what about the boys in our new lands? It's almost half a year there, what are they still doing there? isn't that rebellion over yet?"

"… about that..." Mila's features clearly changed upon opening the topic.

Robin furrowed his eyebrows and asked again, "Mila... what's going on there? Are the three boys okay?!"
