Family Reunion

It wasn’t that I didn’t trust Eric .

However, I had not quite expected it to be this effective .

They were great nobles, the Marquis and his wife, and they had dropped to their knees in a flash .

And so I explained it to them again .

“His Majesty has asked me to investigate an incident involving vampires who found a way to trick the divine barrier…”

“Is that so . ”

“It goes without saying, but you must not tell anyone else that you have seen Vampire Lords within the city . ”

“I would die before revealing such information . ”

“Well, that might be taking it too far . ”

“No, as the representative of the king, your words are those of royalty . And as such, we will do what is expected of us as nobles . ”

“I see . As for that…”

If they took everything I said as the words of the king, I would have to be very careful about what I said .

That was annoying .

“Then I will tell you in advance when I am about to speak on the king’s behalf, but otherwise, please treat me as you would anyone else . ”

“But…”

“If you don’t, I shall not be able to speak to you at all . ”

I said with a laugh .

“If you insist…”

This seemed to have satisfied the couple for now .

“By the way, don’t tell anyone that I am representing the king . ”

“Of course . ”

After that, the Marquis and his wife obeyed me willingly . The authority of the king’s representative was impressive .

The Marquis and his wife now knew that there was a way to break through the barrier .

It would now be necessary for the king to give them some kind of office and keep them on his side .

I’m sure that Eric had it all figured out .

We left the room that had been their prison, and passed the servants’ rooms and entered the hallway .

“We should go and meet Philly . ”

“Is she close by?”

“Well, she is close by, yes . She was imprisoned in a different room within this mansion, after all . ”

“What…”

And so I took them to Philly’s room .

I knocked on the door and called to her .

“Philly . I’ve brought Marquis Mastafon and his wife . ”

There was the sound of a chair screeching very loudly and then the door swung open and Philly came flying out .

“Father! Mother!”

“Philly . I’m so glad you’re…”

“Ruff-ruff . ”

The three of them cried as they clung to each other . Tama ran, circling them happily .

His tail was wagging .

“How sweet…”

“Everything is resolved for now…”

“Groof . ”

Shia and Grulf were also watching the family and wagging their tails .

The intimate mood lasted for a while until we suddenly heard a loud voice .

“Daddy, uncle, over here!”

“Ah, the gatekeepers are unconscious . ”

“This is a serious matter . ”

It seemed that Serulis had brought Goran . The mansion became very loud all at once .

“Locke . Where are you?”

“Over here!”

I answered . Goran and the others came quickly .

To my surprise, Eric was right behind Goran . But why?

“Yo-your Majesty… It is the height of honor to have you visit our humble house…”

Marquis Mastafon and his wife kneeled once again .

“Raise your faces . ”

And then Eric continued,

“Tell me what happened here . Locke . ”

“From start to end, please . ”

And so I explained .

I had wanted to cut the rat hunt short, but Goran wanted to hear the entire story, so I couldn’t .

“I see . So that’s what happened . ”

Eric nodded .

Eric had asked many questions whenever there was something that wasn’t clear .

But Goran was silent as he listened to the entire time .

His fists were shaking .

“Hey, Locke!”

“What? You look a little angry there . ”

“You ran off alone again! You knew there was a possibility of an Evil God, didn’t you? And that there could be multiple High Lords!”

“True . But High Lords aren’t really…”

“That’s not the point! Call for support!”

“I thought it was best to hurry . ”

“Yes, that is important too . But this was a plan that the enemy took years to set up!”

“That’s true . ”

The butler had started working here two years ago .

“So what difference would it have made if you were delayed for ten or fifteen minutes!!”

“Uh, oh . You know, you might be right . ”

“Why didn’t you tell me anything!”

“…Sorry . ”

Goran was right, so I couldn’t argue with him .

His hands were shaking angrily and so Serulis grabbed them .

“Daddy, Mister Locke said he’s sorry, so…”

“…You better not do something like that again . ”

“I understand . ”

I apologized and then Grulf came and licked my hand .

He was probably trying to encourage me .

I patted him on the head .

“I understand the situation here now . Locke, you must be very tired? You can leave the rest to us . ”

“Thank you . I’ll leave the rest to you then, Eric, Goran . ”

“Don’t worry about it . ”

“Goran . About the enemy base…”

“Ah, where the Evil God was? I will send a select team of A Rank Adventurers to search the place . Leave it to us . ”

“Thank you . ”

Just as I was about to leave, Philly grabbed my arm .

“It must have been hard for you as well, Philly . You should rest as much you can . ”

“Locke . I can’t be anymore grateful to you . ”

“Don’t mention it . It’s just my job . ”

“But, thank you . ”

“If you ever need any help, come and pay us a visit . We’re just two houses away . ”

“That’s awfully close by . ”

“Yes . You can visit too, Tama . ”

“Ruff . ”

And with that, I returned to my mansion .
