CH 139

After loading the carriage with many souvenirs, the Selene finally left Sadis, the royal capital of Cyrillium.

It took four days to reach the border, and three days to get home after crossing the border.

“I’m really tired of waiting seven days to see Diana when we only have a month and a half to go. You have four horses, so can’t we shorten the time by at least one day?”

“There are four horses, but it’s impossible because the carriage is too big and heavy. In the first place, there is no way we can speed up the process with so many souvenirs packed in the carriage.”

The carriage is filled with souvenirs.

The seats and the floor are filled to the top with them, so Cain and Il Valeno are sitting side by side.

They are sitting side by side, facing away from the direction of travel, because of the window that leads to the coachman’s seat. This is not the way a master and a servant sit.

“And it will be four days, not seven, before we see Diana.”

“Huh?”

Cain rolled his eyes and looked at Il Valeno’s face. Il Valeno felt Cain’s gaze on his cheeks a lot, and then he turned toward Cain slowly in a pompous manner, made eye contact, and grinned.

“Lady Diana is waiting for you in Nergrandi territory near the border. She said, ‘We only need to cover the distance of three days from here,’ and left the mansion on the day Cain’s summer vacation began.

“Could it be that this carriage is…?”

“Yes, that’s right. She asked me to pick up Master Cain.”

How wonderful. What a surprise!

The feeling of wanting to see Diana was not a one-way street for Cain, but Diana also wanted to see Cain. Even a day sooner. She even went on a great adventure to go to the border herself to do so.

“Oh, God…”

Covering his face with his hands, Cain crouched down so that his forehead was resting on his knees and his shoulders were shaking.

“You’ll get carriage sickness if you stay down.”

“Yes, I’m drunk on Diana’s love right now.”

“I see…”

Because Cain bought souvenirs and the departure time was delayed, it was quite late at night when they arrived at the hotel.

Cain kept talking all the time because of the joy of being able to speak in familiar words even though he had dinner and went to bed late. Il Valeno pulled a blanket over his head. Cain had no choice but to close his eyes, but the carriage ride was more tiring than he had expected, and once he closed his eyes, he fell asleep as if he had fainted.

For the next three days, Cain sat on the driver’s platform, talking with Arnoldia about old times, learning how to operate the carriage, hearing from Viviradia about the recent situation in the territory, and talking with Il Valeno about his greetings in the Yuumenese language.

The Nergrandi territory, owned by the Elgrandark family, is a territory on the eastern edge of Rimut Blake and is grounded to the border of Cyrillium.

Therefore, Arnoldia and Viviradia. And Sarasinia, who is not here, is also said to be able to speak Yuum.

Il Valeno, along with Diana, has been learning Cyrillium from Iannis, but is not yet very fluent in the language.

“My name is Il Valeno. It is a great pleasure to meet you.”

“Master Cain is grateful for your hospitality. On behalf of my master in the neighboring country, I thank you.”

“I will now leave your presence. Thank you for your time.”

These three words were thoroughly memorized.

He said that he was trained by Parepantol that if he was going to welcome Mr. Cain, he would probably have a chance to greet some important people.

He was eating river fish for dinner with a relieved look on his face, as he did not want to be asked any unexpected questions. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

So, after crossing the border, we went along the river for a while and followed an idyllic road with rolling hills and well-maintained forests until we came to a castle.

It was the castle of the Lord of Nergrandi, that is the castle of Cain’s father.

The castle is also occupied by the Viscount and his family, since the Viscount of Elgrandark, Dismaya’s younger brother, now rules the domain as a deputy.

Even so, the master bedroom and the rooms for Cain and Diana are properly prepared. They do not have to spend time in the guest room, which makes it easier for them.

After entering the castle grounds through an arched gate crawling with rose vines, we found ourselves in a large garden with a hedge maze.

The carriage slowly makes its way along the side of the maze, coming to a stop in front of the castle’s entrance.

Before Arnoldia could get down from the driver’s platform and open the carriage door, Cain opened the door himself and jumped out.

“Welcome back, brother!”

Diana was standing on the front porch, waiting.

Her white fingertips were sticking out from the sleeves of her dress, which had slits around her arms and spread out softly, and she was tweezing the skirt edge.

The fluffy skirt, made of layers of silk and gauze, was also cool.

The side of the wide-brimmed hat is pulled down with a ribbon and tied under the chin. The ribbon sways every time Diana smiles and shakes her head.

“Diana is so pretty I’m going to be blinded.”

Squinting his eyes dazzlingly, Cain walked up to Diana, walking like an old man with weak legs and feet.

He took Diana’s hand and placed his own forehead on it. Diana’s little white hand is so cute.

“Your sleeves are really precious. Diana’s white top is cute.”

“Brother’s hands are getting a little bigger.”

Cain stood up, put his hand on Diana’s cheek, and looked into her face. When he saw Diana’s eyes blinking, Cain dropped his head and placed his forehead on Diana’s. “It’s a miracle that Diana exists,” he said.

“Your cheeks are a little shinier now, aren’t they?”

With these words, Cain kissed Diana’s cheeks, eyelids, and forehead, and finally hugged her tightly.

Because she was wearing a hat, he could not smell the top of her head.

“Big brother. Even though I’m keeping a temporary appearance to hide from the world, it doesn’t make sense for my big brother to be like this!”

Saying that, Diana pushed Cain’s chest and pulled away.

Cain, who was intoxicated with emotion, opened his eyes wide and made a slightly sad face, then took a step back and bowed to the gentleman.

“I’m back, Miss Diana. It is a pleasure to see you again after a long absence.”

“Welcome back, brother. I have been looking forward to this day with all my heart.”

They strike a pose of mutual thanks and exchange smiles.

And then

“Waaaah! Big brother! Di became a big girl!”

“Dianaaaa!!! Ohhhhhh, you are so cute!”

Diana jumped on Cain and hugged him, and Cain spun Diana around and around in a reverse giant swing around and around without killing his momentum, then fell to the ground with Diana in his arms due to the centrifugal force.

Cain held Diana tightly as he lay on the ground, and Diana was happy to flop on top of Cain, flapping her legs and flapping her feet.
