Velian entered the city giving his regards to the guards who were protecting the gate, Juno also followed him without any delay.
"Look at this! This was supposed to be a small village, but now it is almost developed as Cantrell territory," Velian felt proud seeing his effort getting results.
In the beginning, the number of professions was very much limited territory in this place, but now there were many jobs for people to do.
Velian didn't want the whole town flocking around him so, he sneakily tried to go meet his mother but on his way, he bumped into a little girl who easily identified him,
"Young master?" Her voice wasn't loud but, people around them started to look at Velian hearing her words.
Juno couldn't hold her laughter seeing his dumbfounded face,
"I'm glad you're so popular," She laughed while talking with him.
"You know right? If I get caught, your faithful followers will also find you," At his words, Juno frowned.
He was talking about a strange group of people that we're idolizing Juno, some of them were beastkin but surprisingly, there were humans too.
Although they are following her like that, it wasn't because of romantic reasons but most of them were admirers of her fighting style and strength.
"It's young master,"
"He's back,"
"It's the real one,"
People started to panic seeing him, as they started to surround him,
"Hello! Good to see you back guys," Velian said awkwardly responding to them.
Juno didn't want to separate from him as she kept observing for any danger, she kept her guard up in case someone tried to attack him.
"I will meet you guys later, first I will visit my mother," Since more and more people started to gather around him, he wanted to go back to the mansion.
Juno and Velian carefully avoided all the people and went back to meet Daphnia,
"Woah! They really did it within these few months," Seeing the mansion in front of him, Nikol couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
The building that used to be a small house has now become a full-fledged mansion with two floors, with the technique and materials Nikol brought for them it was rather easy for them to build this majestic-looking mansion.
Without waiting anymore, Velian entered the mansion with Juno following him,
"This is..." Seeing all the furniture and decorations inside the mansion Juno went speechless.
"Woah~ they really exceeded my expectation, mother must be the one to coordinate all this," Feeling happy, Velian entered the mansion.
Daphnia was nowhere to be seen inside th mansion but, there were a lot of maids from different races.
Velian was able to easily identify most of them as he was the one who rescued them from the clutches of slave traders, there were people from different races like elves, beastkin, and humans but there were no demons or dwarfs surprisingly.
Seeing someone entering the mansion without permission, they got ready to call guards but when they saw who it was, most of them came running in the direction of Velian,
"Masterrr!" All the girls were happy to see him back again in the alliance.
Most of the girls were assigned to do stuff like maids, clerks and some soft work while boys were assigned to heavy work.
But those who were willing to serve in the military were assigned to a special unit because they had to be trained from the beginning.
"Girls, where's my mother?" He guessed that she must be training others or working with aunt Asumi.
"Madame went to meet the chief, you can wait here, master,"
"Should I prepare a bath?" They were happy to see their saviour back in good health. Most of them knew that he was in the Cantrell territory but, they didn't know he already fought a war with the kingdom including Daphnia.
Since it was suddenly decided that they were going to war with the kingdom, Velian didn't have enough time to send a message, he could have used levitation to get here in a few hours but abandoning the battlefield is a great mistake so he didn't do that.
"It's ok, we will wait for her, so how are you, girls? Is it comfortable here and what about your new job?" Curious, Velian asked looking at each and every one of them.
All of them looked at him thankfully,
"Thanks to you master, we get to eat three meals a day now and people here are kind to us, we really enjoy being here," Velian promised most of them to send them back when the time is right, but more than half didn't want to go back to their settlement expect those who got caught by slave traders.
"Nice, it's all good if you guys are happy, I'll go inside, let's talk about this later," Looking at all the girls, Velian went inside with Juno.
Juno had a warm gaze in her eyes seeing the back of Velian,
"You don't even know how many people you helped, I bet all those girls are thankful to you," Juno said looking at him.
"Tsk~whatever," It was true Velian rescued them but, he lied about sending them back to their birthplaces.
He mainly helped them intending to gain their help so, he doesn't really feel happy seeing all these girls being thankful to him,
"Whatever, I will have to do worst in the future so this is nothing, as long as my family can stay happy, I will do anything," Thinking about it, Velian waited for Daphnia to come back since he was curious to see her and feel her warmth.
It took a few hours for her to return back but she was not alone, with her Asumi and her two children also came to visit the mansion.
On their way here they saw that city was somewhat panicked and they wondered why so they asked about it from people and got to know that Velian ks back, hearing it both Aiko and Akiyo insisted on coming to see him.
"Hello, everyone," Velian gave a little smile looking at them, they had their eyes wide open seeing him.
