Chapter 26.3: Tair Bamon (3)

I finally opened my mouth.

Anyway, from the moment I possessed a character in this game and from the moment I became a Lord of Calderic, disorder about the future continued to pile up.

So I didn’t have to be bound by the game’s story. In the end, the decision was mine.

“Tair Bamon.”

At my words, Lian’s steps halted.

He slowly turned his head and looked at me with very bewildered eyes.

“You can solve nothing by running away forever. It would be better to return to the kingdom as soon as possible.”

“…Wait a minute, how do you–“

“I am Ron, the Seventh Lord of Calderic.”

The sudden revelation startled Asher and Baros, who were next to and turned to me.

Lian or Tair’s expressions changed variously, as if he didn’t understand what I was saying, and finally asked back.

“What did you just say…?”

“You know that the situation between neutral countries is unusual. Go back to where you belong before it’s too late.”

“…”

“And if you really feel you can’t handle it, send a messenger to the Seventh Lord’s castle. Depending on the situation, maybe I can help Earth Hill.”

I left only those words and turned away from him, who stood there in a daze.

Asher and Baros followed me.

I don’t know if that guy will return to the kingdom right away with just this…

The minimum link was made, so the rest was up to his choice.

***

Back at the inn, I looked at the map again.

The location was in the forest area between the Fifth and Fourth Lords, so the path was not twisted.

It will take a long time to find this too…

It was nice to have one more mystery to get, but I felt tired already when I thought the hardships would increase much more.

I was about to lie down on the bed, but there was a commotion outside.

Knock knock.

Soon, a knock rang.

“Come in.”

Carefully opening the door, Baros glanced outside with a firm expression.

“The mayor’s knights came to the inn.”

At those words, I immediately understood the situation.

The sound of coming up the stairs echoed, and a series of knights appeared behind them. Asher blocked their way.

The knight standing at the forefront looked at Asher with a frown, then shifted his gaze to me and said.

“Is that the person who insulted Miss Denbri?”

“…”

“Looks like it’s right. The mayor has given the order to bring young master. Please, I hope you will follow obediently.”

I immediately grasped the situation and let out a blank laugh.

I was going to go there when the day was bright, but they found me right away like this.

“Guide me.”

Let’s see how far they would go.

I said that and shook my head.

***

“They say they are in the mansion’s hall right now, Mayor.”

“I get it.”

The attendant reported bringing in a thug who insulted his daughter. Colton nodded his head.

Denbri, who was sitting next to him, was also excited and jumped up from her seat.

At that sight, Administrator Laika clicked his tongue inwardly and turned to Colton.

“Can I come and see him too?”

“Do whatever you like.”

As he moved to the hall of the mansion, he saw three people standing in the middle.

Denbri spotted the man standing in the middle and raised her eyebrows.

The man also spotted her and met her eyes.

She said with a wicked grin.

“Did we just meet again? I said you’d pay the price, did I?”

Colton was about to open his mouth as he looked around at the man and the two people standing on either side of him.

“You insulted my daughter…”

He turned his head when he heard a sudden gasp next to him.

Laika was looking at them with an expression as if he had seen a ghost. He shuddered all over his body as if he had suddenly caught a chill.

Then he soon fell on his knees and bowed his head.

“I meet the Seventh Lord!”

…What?

Colton stopped thinking for a moment because he didn’t understand what he just heard.

Denbri, who was happily contemplating what kind of hell to show that damn guy, also made a stupid face.

“…Lord?”

A terrible silence fell in the hall.

The elf frowned and looked at Laika, who had his head bowed to the floor, then spoke cautiously to the man.

“This is Laika, the Administrator of the Seventh Lord’s Castle. It seems that he was on a business trip to this city.”

The man, the Seventh Lord, nodded and went over to one chair in the hall and sat down.

“You must have called me because you had something to say.”

He glanced over at Colton and the others, who stood still.

“Since you have summoned me like this, let’s hear what you want to say.”
