Chapter 97: For I have resolved myself to fall alongside you

Hmm

After hearing what Dant-san said, I slowly inclined my head to one side.

I dont think Rauls going to do anything drastic once he finds out about the village though?

I mean, hes now the successor of the Albert house. If he really did perform marvelously in such an important war, especially considering that its his first ever, chances are he wont have the time or interest in a village in the wasteland, right?

Youre being too nave, Luke-sama.

What do you mean, Millia?

That person, hell do whatever it takes to remove any and every threat to his position, no matter how insignificant it might be. Even more so if he discovers that the threat is you, Luke-sama.

Theres no doubt about that! That guy acts so big, but in truth, hes nothing but a small chicken.

Selen, you too?

The two of them seemed to have extremely poor opinion of Raul

Im not a threat to him though

How are you not!?

Huh? Why are they immediately rejecting what I said? Even Dant-san

If Lord Albert somehow knew that you were able to build a village as grand as this in such a short time, hell instantly change his assessment of you. Given that, its only natural for Raul-sama to see you as a threat.

I-is that so?

Truth be told, an order to investigate the existence of this village has been issued to me in the past. I managed to deceive them with my report, but now that rumors of the village have spread so far, I fear its only a matter of time before Raul-sama knows of this place.

Beg your pardon, sir! Weve received critical information about Lady Selens whereabouts, sir!

What? Is that true!?

When his retainer reported so, Sedes unintentionally drew near.

Firstly, there have been rumors about a newly built city going around recently and has even reached your lands, sir this city is said to be in the wasteland in the norther region of the Albert territory.

A city in a wasteland?

When he replied so, Sedes remembered something.

Can that wasteland be the one Luke-sama has been ordered to develop!?

It appears so, sir. Moreover, he has done so at an unbelievable speed. Its said that his city already has a population of over 10,000 people.

10, 000!? But its been only a year since he was banished, hasnt it!?

Y-yes, sirin relation to that village, we believe its possible that Lady Selen might have come there

its not out of the question. However, if Luke-sama really did build a city in that place in this short span of time

The report was certainly a valuable piece of information. However, it also made Sedess head ache more.

like this, Luke-sama might once again be considered to be the next head of the Albert houseno, its too late for that now. If what I heard about Raul-samas performance in the current war is accurate, he should be guaranteed to be the next head. And if thats the case, Selen should do as

As though he has just made up his mind, Sedes nodded to himself and then gave an order to his retainer.

Investigate this city at once. And if you find Selen, bring her back at all costs.
