Chapter 384: 16 Year Old Inglis and the New Semester (6)

Liselottes group traveled by carriage to the villa owned by the Althea family in the royal capital. When Duke Althea served as Prime Minister, requiring daily presence at the royal castle, this villa served as their residence. Located a bit far from the castle, surrounded by no other houses, it provided a serene and quiet retreat.

On the tranquil path through the woods leading to their villa

Inside the carriage, Liselotte recounted to her father, Duke Althea, and Ryza the events of the Prima battle, the preceding incidents at Alucard, and the various adventures she shared with her friends.

I see Youve gone through quite a lot, but I am relieved that youve made steadfast friends. Such friendships are rare treasures.

Yes. I am truly grateful for my time at the Knight Academy!

Liselotte beamed, and Ryza returned the smile. Duke Althea, however, wasnt smiling.

Indeed, youve grown stronger and found camaraderie. But I still believe it was too much for a student. The mere thought unsettles me

He spoke, his voice tinged with a fathers concern, the sweat on his brow betraying his anxiety.Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

Fufu We had the endorsement of Special Envoy Theodore, Prince Wayne, and His Majesty the King. There's no need for concern.

Good heavens, His Majesty sometimes causes more worry than reassurance Nonetheless, I am proud of your contributions to the battle against Prisma. You have served this kingdom admirably.

Everyone in the Shealot Order was elated by your accomplishments, Young Lady. As your martial instructor, I am immensely proud of you.

Liselotte felt a surge of happiness as both her father and his Commander expressed their pride.

However, Milord, with all due respect Are we, the people of Shealot, even rewarded for such strong devotion? According to the information that our very own Lady Liselotte received from the Ironblood Chain Brigade, the royal family agreed to offer Arlman and Shealot to the Highland in exchange for a Hyrule Menace who will replace Lady Ripple While it ultimately didnt come to pass, the mere intention still came as a shock

Ryza

The source of that information is probably within the Prime Ministers close circle. He certainly seems to intend to banish us. As I mentioned, he has a grudge against me, and he fears losing his position to me. It was a good opportunity for him to get rid of me. His Majesty planned to offer Arlman and Nova, as they were both directly under the royal familys jurisdiction, which would make sense. Although, Im not suggesting it would have been better for them to be taken by the Highland rather than us. Rigriff must have changed Nova to Shealot behind His Majestys back.

I see I now understand. Forgive me for speaking out of turn, Milord.

But, thank you for bringing it up. It has been gnawing at me

Before Liselotte could finish, a voice from outside interrupted.

UWAAAHHH!!

Whats happening?!

Raid! Commander, were being raided!

The dry clang of blade against blade rang out from outside.

! Theyre ambushing us?!

Ryzas expression hardened with determination.
