  Chapter 323: Promise Part 2 {TL: By Creed} “Snow, over here, over here!” “On!” Aisha ran through the shallow part of the lake, splashing water everywhere, while Snow chased after her. From time to time, Aisha stopped, scooped up some water, and splashed it at Snow. As if returning the favor, Snow skillfully used her tail to splash water back. “Haa… this feels so refreshing, I feel alive again.” Licorice floated on the water with her arms and legs spread out. It felt extremely pleasant, and the expression on her face looked completely melted with relaxation. And Sofia… “Hehe, it’s cool and feels wonderful.” “Y-yeah… it really does.” She was standing in the water up to her knees, showing her white skin to me. To be precise… she was wearing a swimsuit. The color was white. There was a bold cut on the back. It was a swimsuit that somehow felt contradictory—both elegant and rather provocative at the same time. But it suited Sofia very well. Because it suited her ...

  Chapter 322: Promise Part 1 {TL: By Creed} The journey toward the royal capital began after leaving Lenoglade. The trip to the royal capital would take about a month. It was a long journey, but thanks to the carriage Albert gave us, we were able to travel comfortably. Then one day... "Hot, hot, hot—so hooooot!!!" Licorice fluttered around inside the carriage in a completely exhausted state, yet her voice rang out energetically as she shouted. Apparently her voice reached the driver’s seat, because Sofia’s voice came back from the front. "Please don’t make so much noise. It’ll just make it feel hotter." "But still, this heat is impossible to endure! It’s seriously tough for delicate and fragile little Licorice-chan!" "Well, it certainly is hot today..." The sun shone brightly overhead, pouring down blazing rays of light. "Hafuu..." "Ofuu..." In the sweltering temperature that made sweat pour down endlessly, Aisha...

  Chapter 321: A New Journey {TL: By Creed} A few days later. Since Albert had prepared a carriage for us, we moved out into the garden. By the way, during those few days, we had been staying at his mansion. We felt terribly sorry for being taken care of in every possible way, but Albert insisted that he wanted to do at least this much for us. “Wow…” “This is… incredible.” Sofia and I stared at the carriage in wide-eyed amazement. Aisha and Snow, meanwhile, looked intensely curious, wagging their tails vigorously as they examined it. Rather than a carriage, it was more like a small house. It had a bedroom, a kitchen, and even a shower, all neatly and compactly arranged. There were two horses. Both were large and powerful-looking, seeming capable of running endlessly. “If you’re going to continue your journey, I want you to use this. You can stay in it overnight, cook meals, and even take showers. It’s fairly sturdy too, so it can serve as a shelter if a storm com...

  Chapter 320: Once Again {TL: By Creed} After that… We were treated to a warm and generous welcome. There was plenty of food and delicious drinks. And with the townspeople joining in, everyone enjoyed a big feast together. The idea of having the townspeople join us was actually Aisha’s suggestion. She wanted everyone to have fun together… It was quite an unexpected idea, but in truth, it turned out to be extremely effective. Because of what the former lord had done, the town was now filled with suspicion and dissatisfaction toward the Hildis family. Although the problem had been resolved when Albert defeated the former lord, people couldn’t easily shake the doubt that his son might do the same. So, the banquet. By enjoying themselves together, the townspeople were able to ease their doubts about Albert, at least to some extent. It also helped relieve their stress and anxiety—making it a brilliant plan with triple the benefits. To think of something like this… as e...

  Chapter 319 Allies {TL: By Creed} “Fate!!!” “Whoa—” The moment I reunited with Sofia , she suddenly hugged me. She squeezed me tightly, with all her strength. “Thank goodness you’re safe! You’re not hurt, are you? Nothing hurts? You’re not bleeding anywhere, right?” Those all mean the same thing. We were only apart for a short while, but… It seems I made her worry a lot. Hmm, she really is overprotective. But that just proves how much she cares about me. Thinking that way doesn’t feel bad at all—no, it actually makes me happy. “Sofia, I’m fine.” Being hugged like that made things… rather problematic, what with Sofia’s chest pressing against me, so I hurriedly pulled away. For some reason, Sofia looked disappointed. “Daddy!” “On!” Taking turns, Aisha jumped into my arms. Snow ran over too, rubbing her face against my body. “Sorry for making you both worry.” “Uu—” “But it’s okay now. See? I’m perfectly fine.” “Yeah.” Aisha’s tail swayed restlessly. She must h...

  Chapter 318: Detention {TL: By Creed} "……" A lone figure stood some distance away from Lenoglade. Without doing anything in particular, he simply stared intently at the far-off city. Before long, the figure—Riken—let out a sigh. "Good grief… I failed." He had made contact with Guld, whispered sweet words into his ear, and handed over the demonic sword. He had also provided some financial support. Riken… or rather, the Alliance of Dawn, never intended to actually do anything to Lenoglade. They merely used it as a tool to slow down Fate and the others. Though still immature, Fate continued to grow at a terrifying pace. And Sofia, who had reached the ultimate realm of Sword Saint and wielded the Holy Sword. The two of them were formidable enemies. They would become a major threat to the Alliance of Dawn. That was precisely why he had used Guld to stall them, but… "To think he’d be defeated so easily." Riken sighed once more. The demonic swor...

  Chapter 317: Cleaning Up {TL: By Creed} Guld collapsed. He was completely unconscious, showing no sign of getting back up. “...Phew.” I never expected him to be carrying a magic sword, so that caught me off guard for a moment. Still, just having it didn’t mean much—Guld’s swordsmanship itself wasn’t all that impressive. That’s why I was able to deal with him on my own. Before, I couldn’t have done it without Sofia, but… Maybe I’ve grown a little? “Are you okay?” I rushed over to Albert and held out my hand. Guld wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon, so I didn’t think there was any problem leaving him as he was. More than that, I was worried whether Albert had been hurt. “Yeah… I’m fine.” Taking my hand, Albert stood up. “I’ve probably got some bruises, but I don’t think anything’s broken.” “That’s a relief.” “Still…” Albert looked at Guld lying on the ground. “I’m shocked that my father possessed such power, but I’m even more surprised that you defeated him a...
