CH 93

: home (4)

The procession to the Grand Bridge has left.

Jamie sighed briefly as the procession moved away. Then I looked at my sister crying in her mother's arms.

The breakup with Anna seems to have come a long way for Sarah, who is only three years old. It was worth it because it was the first time I had become close friends, and since I had never experienced a breakup, I fully understood.

'When will we meet next time?'

I don't know when it will be, but when that time comes, Ricky will probably have enough to do his part.

But that's not enough.

To stand by your side, you must not end up doing your part.

'You will have to work hard. To come after me somehow.'

Since he has decided to go on a different path from his previous life, all of his colleagues must also be the best.

Only then will we be able to defeat our enemies.

"You'll roll hard as soon as you get back, so be aware of that."

- Hmm...

Bena, who was sitting on her shoulder, drooped her tail.

Still, it's a level I've reached once, so it won't be too difficult a second time.

It's not just Benna.

'The undead soldiers need to pay attention again.'

Due to his young age, he rarely had time to be alone, so he did not care about the undead soldiers.

Although Azad and Liza took good care of the soldiers unexpectedly, there was a big difference from the owner's direct care.

'This time, I also got Gramia.'

An artifact that perfectly reproduces a conceivable space would be enough to create a large-scale training ground.

You can put a lot of extra elements in there, so it's going to be a very tight training ground.

"Heh heh."

- Ma, Master, why are you smiling like that... .

Bena trembled at the sound of Jamie's grim laughter. He seemed to have a sense of his own future.

"Let's stop."

It was when Jamie was envisioning a training ground that would make his men great (?).

The Marquis Bell, who was at the forefront of the procession, said when they returned to everyone.

His expression looked even more bitter. It seemed that it was only now that an old friend was leaving.

The workers of the marquis made preparations to return.

To Sarah, who was weary of crying, Jamie embraced and brought Bena to her arms.

-master!

'Just give me some comfort today.'

- Ugh... .

If sacrificing one bena to make my one and only sister happy, wouldn't that be enough?

As if the wagon was ready, the servant came to pick them up.

"The preparations are complete, Marquis."

"I see."

As the Marquis family was about to get into the carriage, a loud noise of horseshoes came from behind.

Everyone looked there and saw a man with a familiar face coming here.

That person must be.

The holy executor Lars called his senior.

The name .

"Sir Tedley, Iraq?"

Perhaps the Marquis remembered his name, he naturally took out his full name.

"Wow-"

Airak calmed the horse and came down.

And bowed his head to the Marquis.

Forgive me for being late. My name is Iraqi Tedley, who will go with him to Highs on behalf of Sir Armetic."

"You were supposed to go with me."

That's right.

The Welton family decided to enter the Pyro Church in the estate of Heis.

Originally, Lars was supposed to go to Highs as the bishop's deputy, but it was changed to go to the Grand Church together as Ricky and Anna's guardians.

So Iraq went to Heis instead of Lars.

"Thank you, Mrs. Welton."

"I'm begging you."

Sears greeted them with a smile, and Airak smiled at each other. Then, looking at Jamie standing next to him, he prostrated.

"The Holy Executioner offers a belated greeting to the saint."

"You don't have to greet each other like that. And thank you."

"Don't worry."

Airak was an escort knight assigned by the Pyro Church to take the place of the Bishop and prepare for a possible attack by the Zenith Church.

I wonder if there is a need for an escort driver, but if Zenith Kyo sends Seven Knights like the last time, it becomes troublesome.

'I don't think so.'

By now, the political pressure is strong and nothing will be done.

"Then let's go now."

The wagon carrying the Marquis family set off.

* * *

Time passed quickly and a week passed.

All work at Apton must be over, Jamie and the family had a peaceful day.

And the day to return to Highs has come.

Marquis Belle looked at her cute grandchildren and said with a kind face.

"Next time we see you, Jamie and Sarah will be so big they won't even notice."

The marquise's face was pale.

It had been a very busy week.

Not surprisingly, as a result of Jamie's eavesdropping on the Marquis' room, it appears that the political pressure of the Zenithism is being exerted on a national level.

It was strange that the Marquis, who was at the center, wasn't busy.

Sears said as he gently rubbed his father's wrinkled hands with a worried look on his face.

"Dad is taking good care of himself. I'll be back next time, so stay healthy until then.

"Don't worry. Because I eat it every day."

"Do your work in moderation."

I'm almost done with the urgency, so I'll be fine.

There was still a long way to go, but the Marquis lied because his father didn't want to worry about his daughter.

Sears knew that too, but pretended not to know and nodded.

"Then I'm happy."

The couple looked at each other passionately and then hugged each other briefly.

"Give my regards to the Count as well."

I know.

"Let's hug our grandchildren, too."

Jamie and Sarah are in the arms of the Marquis.

Jamie frowned inwardly, but smiled brightly without showing any signs on the outside.

Sara, on the other hand, was naughty, trying her best to contain her tears.

"What makes our granddaughter so sad?"

"Wow Don't you think the installments are worth it?

Hahaha. Was it sad that Sarah broke up with her grandfather?"

"It's worth it hey... ."

"I'll definitely go play next time."

The Marquis stroked Sarah's hair and drew a happy smile.

Sarah held out her little finger with a sullen face.

"Pill!"

okay. Promise me."

The Marquis put her finger on the tiny little Sarah's.

Then Sarah laughed softly.

"Does your ass grow horns when you cry and laugh?"

"Ugh!"

Then he burst into tears again at the marquis' joke.

The Marquis, who did not know how to cry so sadly, was greatly embarrassed.

People around me laughed and laughed out loud.

Having barely calmed Sarah, the Marquis sighed deeply and looked at Jamie.

"Our trusty Jamie."

"Yes, Grandpa."

The Marquis saw Tina's necklace hanging from Jamie's neck.

It is an ordinary necklace that has lost its power now, but its existence alone will make it a great talisman.

"Grandpa and Grandma. Don't forget that I'm always protecting you.

"I will."

"The next time I see you, this grandpa is looking forward to how great it will be."

"Then I will be an archmage."

"Uh-huh! Very reliable!"

The Marquis smirked as if he liked Jamie's answer.

The Marquis patted his grandson's head roughly with a satisfied expression on his face. A child looking forward to the future. There are so many threats, but I was convinced this time.

'You will be able to overcome it.'

I don't know if it will be a few years before we meet again, but the Marquis prayed that that time would come as soon as possible.

"Stop it now."

" I will definitely come back."

"Don't wait. Sir Tedley, I beg you."

"Don't worry."

Airak smiled confidently.

The Marquis patted his shoulder and took a step back.

"Hey!"

The coach started the carriage.

The wagon carrying the Weltons began to leave Apton.

Sears, Sarah, and even Jamie. He leaned out the window and waved at the marquise.

The Marquis also waved his hand towards the faraway carriage.

They did not stop waving their hands until the carriage had completely disappeared. And when the carriage was no longer visible, he lowered his hand.

"I miss you already."

It's only been a few minutes since we broke up, but I already miss my children.

When will I be able to see you again?

The Marquis clenched his tongue and shook his head.

Then the servant put the coat over the shoulder of the marquis.

"Come in. It's chilly."

"I do."

Summer has passed and it is the season of autumn.

But the Marquis couldn't rest.

I miss the children who have left, but there were piles of problems that had to be solved before that.

At the center of it was Zenith Kyo, who became a Cheoncheon Ji-won.

"Come on, let's go destroy the Zenith Church again."

The fight has just begun.

Since the children have returned, there is no reason to be cautious.

I will stir it more violently.

'I'll tell you why Belle is called great.'

The Marquis headed to the office with a cold face.

That was his battlefield.

* * *

A full moon has passed.

The Welton family's wagon entered Highs before they knew it.

Fortunately, nothing has happened so far.

"It's a familiar scene. right?

Yeah!

To Sears' question, Sarah vigorously answered.

Bena, in her arms, was half corpse. It was because she had been tormented by Sarah for a full month.

Because of that, Jamie sometimes coughed at Bena's bloody eyes.

"Dad will be waiting for you."

"Daddy, you look like a shipper."

"You don't want to see Jamie?"

"Of course I want to see you."

Actually, I had no idea.

I couldn't answer that honestly, so I replied that I wanted to see him with a bright face like a child.

Sears held onto her chest as the two children answered cutely.

"Ha, whose kids are so cute."

'It's Jujub, Mother.'

Jamie thought to himself and looked out the window again.

The wagon passed the boulevard and climbed the hill where the Welton mansion was located.

In the distance, I could see the gates of the mansion and sentries standing guarding the gates.

"See you after a long time, madam."

"Everyone has a lot of trouble."

no. I will open the door right away."

The guards opened the tightly closed gate.

The carriage entered the count.

Passing through the large garden, I saw the family mansion nestled in the back.

A familiar face awaited them.

As soon as the carriage stopped and the door opened, Sarah ran out.

Dad!

"Hey, my princess!"

It was a dangerous situation, but the sword master, Earl Wellton, hugged her daughter without difficulty.

Sears, who got down from behind, breathed a sigh of relief with a look that had endured for ten years.

"Ha- Sarah! What would you do if it fell down dangerously like that?"

"I'm sending you ."

haha. Don't scold me, madam. It's okay, Sarah. Because this dad can take Sarah any way she gets off."

Hi-Hi!

At the reliable Count's words, Sarah wrapped her arms around his neck tightly.

Sears got out of the carriage with a face that he couldn't stop.

The Count gently wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her a brief kiss.

"You've been through a lot."

"I'm sorry I left you alone for over a month."

"I was still lonely, so what should I do? I thought I was going to die."

"You too."

The count couple showed no hesitation in roasting sesame seeds, regardless of the gaze of the servants.

And Jamie had missed the timing to get off because of his parents roasting sesame seeds.

He coughed loudly for nothing.

"Hmmmm!"

Ah. our Jamie. Come down."

Belatedly, the Marquis noticed Jamie and held out his hand with a puzzled face.

I'm home.

Jamie smiled and took his father's hand.

The count's expression, who had been smiling awkwardly in embarrassment, hardened.

"Jamie, you."

"You shouldn't be so surprised. In the future, it will grow faster than it is now."

"Huh."

At Jamie's words, the Count was unable to speak.

It was the Count who understood Jamie's ability the moment he held his hand.

Jamie said to the Count.

"Children are growing up."

" Isn't that what you, a child, shouldn't say?

It was a conversation with a sense of déjà vu, but the Count nodded with a happy expression.

"This is my son."

Rich people look at each other with similar faces and smile.

Sears and Sarah tilted their heads at their appearance.

"What are you both talking about?"

"I don't know what you mean."

"There is such a thing. Now, let's all hug each other.

Earl Wellton said while holding his wife and two children at the same time.

"Everyone worked hard to come a long way."

Jamie frowned in the Count's arms.

It wasn't too bad though.

finally came back

to home.
