Chapter 179: Permission?

At noon, when the sun is still shining bright, and the sunray illuminates one of the horse-drawn carriages in the middle of the village road.

After the royal soldiers and the captain finished their task, they returned to their post but stopped as soon they saw their Guardian sitting under a lush tree.

They approached their Guardian, who was seen leaning his back while closing his eyes, enjoying the beauty and serenity of nature.

Seeing this, the two royal soldiers moved away while only their captain approached, "Sir, we have finished moving the goods; what are your next orders?" The captain reported, lowering his head on his knees, bending one of his legs so that his knees touched the ground.

* swoosh *

The leaves fall from the tree and now fly along with the gentle breeze blew from right to left. The calm , peace situasion and the cool sensation made the captain's tense expression relax.

"Nothing, we should rest now; we will leave this village in the afternoon," Vesta answered with his eyes still closed while continuing to enjoy this gentle breeze.

But then he opened one of his eyes and glanced at the carriages, "Also, send soldiers to guard and watch my horse carriage." He shifted his gaze to the mercenaries sitting on the ground without blinking."We don't know when the danger would come."

"Yes, sir." The captain replied excitedly and immediately inform the other soldiers.

....

Meanwhile, inside Demsond's horse carriage. After seeing the interaction between Vesta and the captain of the royal soldiers from the glass window, he then stood up.

"Laura, get ready, accompany me for a moment." He glanced at his sword, which was propped by his bed.

Hearing this, Laura put down and straightened the empty plates and glasses that were on the table while answering, "Yes, young master."

While waiting for Laura, Desmond returned his focus to his transparent map.

This time his location was in the middle of the road marked with a blue dot, where in front of it was a large piece of land lined with cobblestones; it was the town square.

Meanwhile, on the right and left, his position is surrounded by many small icons in the form of buildings whose layout is messy, which indicates that this is the residence of villagers.

Far behind the building's icon, there is a circular brown wall protecting the entire area, indicating a bamboo wall mentioned earlier.

Apart from the blue dot, which is itself, there are many gray dots behind his carriage, where the mercenaries are located. And the other gray dots scattered around the town square and at the entrance gate signaled that this was the royal troops.

But at that moment, Desmond immediately narrowed his eyes as sudden emerge a flickering red spot in the depths of the forest, beyond the bamboo wall.

"I'm ready, young master!" Suddenly Laura's voice startled him and make him came back to his senses. He was only taken aback for a moment before his expression returned to his usual calm and cold.

Desmond shited his gaze on Laura, scanning from her head to toe where she was wearing the usual white-gray maid outfit. "When we're outside, don't speak unless you being asked or when I give you a command."

"Yes, young master!" Laura replied excitedly, made him nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Let's go." He put his sword on his waist as he folded his sleeves back and pulled at the door of the carriage.

* click *

The sound of scraping wood from the door didn't sound so loud, but it was enough to attract everyone's attention; even Sam, the village chief, also looked in this direction.

* breath *

....

The moment Desmond got out of his horse carriage, he immediately inhaled and smelled the fresh air of this village. "I feel reborn." His eyes wandered around, and he found everyone looking at him. "Hmm ..."

Desmond then stepped forward without caring, got off the horse carriage, and his footwear tread on the clean cobblestones. Followed by Laura, Desmond headed straight in the direction where Vesta was sitting.

"Greetings, Sir Guardian." Desmond greeted with a faint smile on his face while lowering his head slightly. Behind him, Laura also smiled and bowed.

"Oh?" Unlike before, this time, Vesta opened his eyes and straightened up in posture. Seeing that it was Master Witch Leona's son and greeted him politely, it would be rude for him not to greet him back and smiled faintly. "Greetings."

In his daughter's opinion, Vesta knew this boy was smart ."So, boy, what do you want?" Vesta asked, his smile fading away. After 15 days, the boy who had been in the horse-drawn carriage suddenly got out and asked him, which pinned his curiosity.

Besides that, it seems that his daughter also likes this boy and his wife has a high opinion of him which makes him even more curious.

But still, this boy was getting more and more suspicious. He just hopes that his guess is wrong and wants his daughter to be happy.

"I want to ask permission to play in the forest outside." Frankly speaking, Desmond wouldn't have needed to ask for his consent if it weren't for him borrowing Vesta's horse carriage.

He is not my father nor my parents, even though there is a possibility he became his father-in-law, but after all, it's only 'possibility.

And also the reason is very sensible for children his age who are still at the stage of being curious about the world.

"No problem, my subordinates have checked all corners of the forest, and it's safe for you to play there. " Vesta answered while narrowing his eyes. Even though he felt something was amiss, but he could not pinpoint it correctly.

On the other hand, he knew, even though his mission was to escort Desmond to the city of Helmfirth safely, that did not mean that Desmond had to obey his orders and limit his every activity.

Vesta added, "But still bring at least a guard." It was natural for him to say this after seeing that Desmond seemed to want to go out with just a female servant.

No matter how strong the rumors were, he was still a 10-year-old child in Vesta's eyes. It would give a bad taste for his reputation and for him if Desmond died.

"Thank you for your concern, then please excuse me," Desmond answered with a smile as he turned towards the mercenaries.
