Chapter 40 My sweet home

Inside My Room...

Well, I am home, just not the way I wanted to.

I wanted to enter incognito so that I could sell all those useless cores and monster carcasses, without letting anyone know that I gained some financial freedom or got hands of certain items. Well, that plan went down the drain after that idiot tried to enter the city through the nobles' gate.

If not for that idiot and the idiot cousin, I would have entered the city without anyone knowing. I could have easily sold everything on me that is not useful to me or doesn't cause someone to track me down. After all, there are plenty of items that I looted from the bandit's treasure cave, which are now considered illegal goods.

Many of them are general items that are traded now and then. So selling them wouldn't be suspicious. Sure some greedy eyes may try to rob if they were seen but not to the level that attracts the city lord or something. Well, my father is the city lord in name but most of the city was managed by various family members.

So if there was something suspicious that appeared, then they would surely find it out easily.

Well, there is no reason to rack my brains about them now. They would sit in my personal space storage for now. I'll dispose of them when I can.

Now, I need a bath and some sleep.

Later at night...

Aaaahh, it looks like I slept for a long time. Oh, it's already time for dinner. Let's wash and leave.

I arrived at the dinner table a few minutes later. There was no one else except for my parents and the servants. My siblings were either in the academy or doing their jobs, at the moment. They should have visited when I was away on my adventure.

"So how are Eritrea and others? Did they visit while I was gone?" I asked.

It was more than a year ago that I saw my siblings last. I wanted to know how they were doing now.

"They were doing fine. Yes, they all visited but had to go because of something that came up", my mother said as she told all the details while we enjoyed the food,

After the dinner was over, we returned to my room. Yes, my parents followed me back to my room.

Before now, they didn't ask because I was tired or there were others. Even though those servants worked for our family, not everyone was trustworthy enough to know all the details. It would be for the best.

"Now, tell us what you have experienced in these seven months", my father asked once we were out of the other 's ears.

I sighed.

There are a lot of adventures to tell but I can't tell everything to them. I know them well enough.

If they knew how strong I am, they there would tasks that would need me to work more than needed.

All these years the family took care of you, now you should give something back. This was a rule in my family from which no one is an exception.

Even though there are idiots sitting on the Elderr's council, they are still family. My father wouldn't let a talent like mine go waste. He would find a way to help the family gain some benefits, which would be eaten by those vultures.

'Sorry father, I can't do what you want. So, I can't tell you everything', I thought inwardly.
