  Chapter 310: Chasing the Lord {TL: By Creed} “We found him—the lord’s son!” “Capture him and make him tell us where the lord is—ghk!?” Albert cut down the revolutionary soldiers who appeared out of nowhere with his sword. Even though he was being ambushed, he showed no sign of panic. On the contrary, he was carefully holding back, making sure not to take their lives. That wasn’t something just anyone could do. “You’re strong.” “Nothing special—just basic self-defense. I’m inferior to you.” “That’s not true.” “…You say that with such a calm face, but you’ve already taken down more than twice as many as I have. It doesn’t sound very convincing.” Albert gave a wry smile. Indeed, I had also been defeating members of the revolutionary army. I was holding back properly, too. Still, I am an adventurer. If I couldn’t manage at least this much, it would be embarrassing. “Where do you think the lord is?” Running side by side through the streets, I asked him that. “Jus...

  Chapter 309: A just cause? There is no such thing. {TL: By Creed} “Mom!” “On!” When they moved to the safe house, Aisha and Snow came rushing out. Aisha clung tightly to Sofia, while Snow pressed close to her side. They seemed frightened, their bodies trembling slightly. Sofia gently hugged the two of them. “It’s all right now. Mom took care of the bad people.” “Uu…” “Ofu…” They looked a little calmer, but the fur on Aisha’s tail was puffed up. Snow’s tail fur was puffed up too. Their fear clearly hadn’t faded yet. Seeing the state they were in, Sofia glanced back over her shoulder. There, sprawled on the ground, were the rioters who called themselves the Revolutionary Army and had surrounded the safe house. Every last one of them had been beaten down by Sofia. Should I cut their heads off? For a brief moment, such a dangerous thought crossed Sofia’s mind. But it couldn’t be helped. There was no mother who wouldn’t be enraged if her children were threatened...

  Chapter 308: You made me cry! {TL: By Creed} “Gyaaaah!? My arm—my arm!?” “Calm down! We’ll stop the bleeding with this!” “Damn it, why did this happen…!? You bastard—who the hell are you!?” All of a sudden, a woman fell from the sky. The instant she landed, she severed one of their companion’s arms at a speed too fast for the eye to follow. Faced with a situation they couldn’t comprehend, the thugs fell into panic. They drew their weapons and hurled angry shouts, threatening Sofia. Sofia, however, completely ignored them and quickly tucked Licorice into her pocket to get her to safety. “Sorry I’m late.” “Y-Yeah! Seriously, we were this close to being in real trouble…! If something had happened to Licorice-chan, it would’ve been a loss for the entire world, you know!” “I’m sorry.” “Uuu… but thank goodnessssss…” Licorice was crying—apparently she’d been utterly terrified. Having faced a real threat to her life, she clearly couldn’t act like her usual self. “It’s all ...

  Chapter 307: What I Must Do {TL: By Creed} “Looks like he’s more of a gentleman than I expected.” After seeing Fate and Albert off, Sofia murmured quietly to herself. If she said she wouldn’t stand on the front lines, Albert would probably show displeasure. He would say that he wanted her cooperation, not Fate’s. That was what Sofia had expected… But she was wrong. Albert did not demand Sofia more than necessary, and he accepted Fate quite smoothly. It wasn’t just that he had decided to trust Fate… Given that the situation was practically a war, he probably didn’t want to send a woman like Sofia to the front lines. “I appreciate the consideration. I really do. But…” With a weary sigh, Sofia let out a breath. Being treated as a woman and shown kindness honestly made her happy. But that alone wasn’t enough. She wanted to be of help to the person she loved, regardless of gender. She wanted to stand beside him. Perhaps Fate understood that unconsciously, because ...

  Chapter 306: Great Melee {TL: By Creed} When we hurried out of the mine— “This is…” Fires were breaking out all over the city. Carried on the wind came the shouts of anger and the screams of people. “This is awful…” “Why is something like this happening…?” “Lady Ascart! Lord Stuart!” Turning around, we saw Albert running toward us. His usual calm demeanor was nowhere to be seen—large beads of sweat rolled down his face, and panic was written all over his expression. “Thank goodness! You’re both safe.” “What on earth is happening?” “…We’ve been completely outmaneuvered.” With a bitter look, Albert began to explain. It seemed Guld had seen through Albert ’s plan to usurp him. Even if he was a foolish tyrant, he was still cunning when it came to dirty tricks. “My father… Guld planned to use this opportunity to wipe out all the rebels at once, myself included.” “Then that means… don’t tell me—” Realizing a certain possibility, my face went pale. Albert nodde...

  Chapter 305 Revolution {TL: By Creed} The day changed, and at last it was the day to carry out the operation. We had gone ahead to the mine in advance. There were also other people Albert had arranged. We hid in the shadows and waited for the lord to arrive. “Looks like it’s finally time. Are you nervous, Fate?” “Yeah, I’m fine.” I’d been through my fair share of dire situations by now. Maybe because of that, I was surprisingly calm—even to myself. “…I wonder if Aisha and Snow will be okay?” “Licorice is with them, so there shouldn’t be a problem… no, perhaps it’s precisely because she’s with them that there is a problem?” “Hahaha, that’s cruel.” Aisha and the others were waiting at an inn in town. If they got caught up in this, it would be a disaster, so there was no way we could bring them along. Licorice was acting as their guard, at least… But still—hmm, I’m worried. “…Hey.” “Yes? What is it?” “This might sound naïve, but… if possible, I don’t really wa...

  Chapter 304: When it all ends safely... {TL: By Creed} Night. “……” Sofia stepped out into the garden and looked up at the moonlit sky. Her profile was expressionless, making it difficult to guess what she was thinking. A crunch —the sound of grass being stepped on. Even so, Sofia did not turn around. She simply continued gazing at the moon. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” The one who appeared was Albert. He stood beside Sofia and likewise looked up at the moon. “Can’t you sleep?” “That was supposed to be my line.” “Haha… well, it’s rather pathetic, but I’m nervous. Thinking that it’s finally tomorrow, I just can’t seem to fall asleep.” Tomorrow, Guld, the lord of Lenoglade, was scheduled to inspect the mines. Because the amount of ore being extracted had declined slightly, he would be accompanying the investigation. Given the nature of the location, it wouldn’t be possible to go with a large group. And since it was within the city, the escort would be kept to a m...
