Chapter 26-2

The Marquis Laird residence, office room.

Fred sat in his seat with an important guest in front of him.

Because a major incident had occurred, and he had urgently dispatched his troops, including those under his command.

Fortunately, the two had returned to Kelidos and ensured their safety, and they were able to return to the capital only after troops from both families had arrived.

Im sorry. Its all my fault.

No, its not. Who would have thought such a thing would happen near the capital?

Fred politely responded and observed the others reaction.

He seemed quite angry, but he was barely holding back and continuing the conversation.

It must have been because not only his daughter but also his fianc had been involved, causing him to be engulfed in anger.

I didnt know my family would be so underestimated. I must catch those b**tards and find out whos behind them.

Youre absolutely right. Ill help too.

Ah, no. Its a problem in my family, so Ill handle it myself. I must do it for your sons sake.

Robbins clenched his fists tightly with anger in his eyes.

At first, he thought he had misheard the news.

There was no way anyone would attack the Dukes carriage unless theyre crazy.

Moreover, the fact that the Dukes daughter was almost killed made him feel greatly insulted.

My son understands the Dukes feelings well.

What good is your sons sympathy? This is my fault, and Ive caused you great concern, havent I? Im so ashamed that I cant even show my face.

There are many unexpected things in life. The Duke must have experienced it several times. Since no one was hurt on this trip, we can consider it lucky, cant we?

Fred tried to calm Robbins down in a gentle manner.

Any parent would be emotional if their child was attacked. And if the knights or maids who were with their child were also injured, it would be hard to contain their anger.

Fortune seems to have hit you. Isnt your son the lucky one?

Youre too kind.

Fred completely handed over the choice of compensation to Sion.

Of course, he could guide it in a direction that benefited his family, but his pride wouldnt allow it.

He had already forced an unwanted marriage and had unintentionally exposed Sion to danger.

Since it was something that originated from Sion, it was only right for him to take care of it himself.

Youre not wrong. Just because were parents doesnt mean we know everything about our children.

Robbins nods his head and falls into thought.

He had to offer a reward that would satisfy Sion as much as possible.

Only then will you realize that it is worth building a relationship with the Dukes family.

I have to completely make him on my side at this point. Its not easy to find someone as talented as him

The Duke Adelaira residence, Sions room.

Sion lay on the bed, organizing his thoughts.

He was thinking about ways to utilize Exceed Rain, how to conserve magic, and the direction to learn swordsmanship.

Exceed Rain was powerful, but if not used properly, it would just waste mana.

Having a good sword technique is great, but its meaningless if I run out of magic every time I use it.

Sion had not awakened his magic for long, so he didnt have much of it. Moreover, since he was not skilled in manipulating magic, efficiency was inevitably low.

He thought he should increase his mana to make the best use of Exceed Rain.

I need to save some mana if I want to use other abilities too.

Exceed Rain had various abilities besides absorbing magic and creating sword techniques. They were useful and effective, but if he didnt restrain himself, it could backfire on him.

Exceed Rain gave him immense power but took away more in return.

I need to learn swordsmanship too. It seems like Ill have to spend a lot of money.

Of course, he wasnt worried about the money. He already had a promise of support, so he wouldnt be short of money for a while, and he could use it for various purposes.

I should receive as much support from Duke Adelaira as possible. Opportunities like this dont come often.
