Chapter 476 – Guest

When I opened my eyes, there was an unfamiliar ceiling…
I could see naked beauties hugging each side.
Yesterday, I was sure… I received a grand welcome…
Zion, Velvet.
I slept with two beauties.
It seems like Tyrone paid some attention to hosting them.
Isn’t it okay to judge people just by looking at their faces?
He was a guy with a concept.
I decided to forgive him with a merciful heart.
Should I say that it wasn’t that I was treated and forgiven by these beauties, but that it was his sincere apology that reached me?
‘Anyway, I’m going to hear it again.’
As I walked around, I sometimes met passionate female fans.
When we had deep conversations, we often ended up staying out.
Caria used to nag every time.
Hilda also noticed.
Still, you can’t ignore your precious female fans.
Fortunately, unlike Earth, this world was tolerant of sex.
Especially for men.
It was a world where even married men turned a blind eye to one-night stands. So there was no need to talk about unmarried men.
Karia’s nagging is also… Rather than saying something about sleeping with a woman, she is telling him not to reveal himself to women but to practice some.
I got up from the bed.
It was time to go back.
“Will you come visit again?”
The faces of the two women helping me get dressed are somewhat pitiful.
You wouldn’t have fallen in love with me.
Their treatment will probably change depending on my attitude.
They have beautiful looks that would be a waste to end in a one-night stand. And it’s not a man to refuse when someone looks at you with such affection.
“Of course.”
Their faces brighten at my intention to return.
I returned to Saren’s residence, receiving a heartwarming sendoff from the two beauties.
And what I heard from Karia was not nagging.
“The lord has passed away!!”
It’s not like lightning…
I just thought it went faster than I thought.
Death of Lord Ramona.
The city was enveloped in a dark atmosphere overnight.
It’s not that Lord Ramona is a great castle, but he can’t laugh and talk about it when the ruler of the territory is dead.
If you do that, you might get caught and locked up in a dungeon.
The funeral was held quickly.
The knights march carrying the coffin, and the bereaved family follows.
And the citizens take to the streets to see the dead lord off.
‘Come to think of it, I haven’t even seen the lord’s face once.’
I didn’t even want to see it.
It is said that the lord’s coffin is placed in a majestic, well-built catacomb-like place. A traditional family passed down from generation to generation? Is it a family grave?
The full-scale funeral ceremony was held at the entrance of the cemetery.
Funeral customs similar to those seen on Earth were also seen.
The nobles are all dressed in black.
The only ones wearing different attire were Terran priests.
It is said that the Terra religion priest will give a blessing or something and the coffin will be taken into the cemetery.
It was a heavy atmosphere, but I didn’t feel any sadness.
Would you say you feel a subtle sense of tension rather than sadness?
I wasn’t the type of person to be so foolish as to attend the funeral of someone whose face I didn’t even know… But I attended because I thought I might be able to see Cyrus being taken prisoner by the Church of Terra.
I could see Cyrus’ face.
Even if you didn’t want to come out of your room, you couldn’t help but attend the lord’s funeral.
And next to Cyrus stood an alluring beauty with red hair that did not suit him.
“This is Lady Bianca. She is Cyrus’ mother and the lord’s first wife.”
Karia, who was next to her, answered my curiosity.
‘Is that woman Cyrus’ mother? .’
It could be said that Cyrus took good care of her mother. I ended up finding the only good thing about Cyrus.
I made eye contact with Bianca.
She came to me.
“You are Lord Bark.”
“That’s right.”
“How about it? Being Ramona’s knight… I’ll tell my son and make a place for him.”
To become a knight of Ramona means to come under Cyrus, who will become the lord.
I don’t know about Bianca, but she didn’t want to fall under Cyrus.
“I decline.”
Bianca’s expression hardened for a moment at my firm refusal, but soon relaxed.
“… I give you some advice. It would be better to leave Saren’s side as soon as possible.”
Bianca gave that warning and walked away.
Her small waist and soft buttocks caught my eye.
‘A wizard.’
I think it’s around circle 5…
He appears to be the most capable human in this territory.
The funeral proceeds, and the Terra priest tilts his head. It seems like a long and private place.
‘Hmm… Is it too weak…’
It seems that Cyrus’ dark magic is weaker than expected.
It could be because the relationship between the priest and Cyrus is too far apart.
It shouldn’t be like this…
But I couldn’t go and tell them that that guy was full of dark magic.
Unfortunately, the event I expected did not happen until the funeral was over.
After the funeral.
When I returned to the mansion, Saren called me.
Probably… This is the first time he has called me out like this since coming here.
Saren was alone in her room as the two escorts she always brought with her had gone.
It looks like they’re trying to tell a secret.
“Welcome, Lord Bark.”
Saren’s face that welcomed me was dark.
It’s probably not just because I’m sad because my father died.
Now it was only a matter of time before Cyrus ascended to the position of lord.
Saren would know that better than anyone else.
“I have a favor to ask you.”
Finally… It looks like they’re trying to make me do some work, as I’ve been wasting away on gold and rice.
Are you trying to assassinate me?
I’m not sorry that I’ve been sucking honey without doing anything… I’m just sad that I can’t suck honey more.
“I would like you to escort my mother and Simon to Grand.”
“… And?”
It seemed like the name of a territory or a city.
Saren’s mother was a woman named Diana.
She was a quiet woman whom I met briefly while staying at this mansion.
She looked quite young for a woman who gave birth to Saren and Simon.
I guess it’s because he’s a noble.
Panthera gets married in her teens.
If you roughly calculate it, you’d be in your 30s, so that’s a young age on Earth.
“Grand is my mother’s biological family. It is ruled by my mother’s brother, the Count of Grand. He will be able to protect his mother and younger brother.”
“Did you recruit me for this in the first place?”
“… Unless my father woke up in the first place, it was difficult to turn the situation around.”
In the meantime, I could understand why she had left me alone.
The reason they recruited me wasn’t for political strife with Cyrus.
She seemed to have already recognized that there was no chance and was looking for a way to somehow save her brother and mother.
She enjoyed playing and eating for free money, but the first quest she received was on Hell difficulty.
After all, nothing is free.
It seemed to me a lower level of difficulty to bloody usurp Cyrus’ lordship than to act as a bodyguard.
But unfortunately, there is no justification.
Saren wouldn’t do that.
If that really happens, it could invite royal intervention.
It won’t be an ordinary travel route.
If it were Cyrus, it would not be surprising if he sent an assassin.
There are two large pieces of luggage.
Two incompetent nobles.
Saren’s mother, Diana, is a bit better.
We couldn’t talk, but she had a pretty face… And her personality didn’t seem that bad.
But the problem is Simon.
Simon is a newborn baby.
That alone was Ultra Hell difficulty.
The lord died too soon.
I had hoped that Cyrus would hold out until he was captured by the Church of Terra…
‘Damn, it seems too mean for me to go to the temple and file a complaint…’
If you do something wrong, you may end up in unwanted trouble.
-Dripping…
“Lady Saren…”
A maid who looked a bit older came in.
I believe it was Saren’s residence, the head of the maid who managed her maids.
“Margaret, what’s going on?”
“Te, Terragyo… The Holy Knight has come to visit.”
“Seo, Holy Knight…?
“This is a paladin named Hestia… It looks like she has some business to attend to Lord Bark.”
A savior came at just the right time.
“Lord Bark?”
Saren’s surprised gaze turned to me.
Fortunately, it seemed like I would never have to leave this place.
It was finally time to show the power of my connections.
“… An old friend has come to visit.”
“Did you know any Holy Knight?”
Saren seemed quite taken aback by her unexpected connections.
There are very few people in Ramona who know the relationship between me and Hestia.
The scandal between me and Hestia, which was famous in Crea, did not spread to Ramona.
It might be war.
Since we live in a world where people travel on foot or by carriage, such gossipy stories don’t spread often.
I don’t know if we met as often in Ramona as we did in Crea…
Since coming here, I have only met Hestia once.
Ramona It is not easy for people to find the connection between me and Hestia.
The priests at the temple seemed to know everything about Crea, perhaps because they had their own network of contacts… But they didn’t even recognize my face.
“A precious guest has come to visit, so how about we talk about this later.”
“Yes? Yes…”
There may not be a next time.
I guess they don’t have time to worry about me because they’re worried about how to help their newborn son, Simon, and manage the estate.
Then I just have to quietly suck the honey.
