Chapter 61 Celebrated or Ostracized as a Hero

I woke up to find myself in my bed at Marquis Richards estate. "Good morning Darling." Anne greets me as I wake up.

"Morning Anne, how long was I out, did I miss anything?" I say with a slight smile

"You have been asleep for three days, and you missed quite a bit. Onii-sama and Rei have submitted details of what we did south of Jarcata. Everyone involved has been granted title in the Fyreed Order, Lilin, Beph, and Lena in the Fyreed Order of Nature fifth class for their contributions. Myself, Cara, Circe, and Colna, are now Fyreed Mages fifth class, and Prince Geordo and Gabrielle are now Order knights fourth and fifth class respectively." Anne informs me

"Whoa, I missed a lot. I guess that is to be expected when I traverse realms..." I mutter

"Huh, Darling did you say something?" Anne asks

"No, just that I missed out on a lot," I answer back

"Oh right, there is something else you missed, there will be a parade for everyone involved to celebrate the heroes that stopped the behemoth's rampage, you are to be the main star!" Anne says excitedly

"I don't really want to go and have all that attention, can you all go without me? There are some things that I want to study more about. Besides my achievements wouldn't have been even close to possible without all of you, I don't really deserve to be the center of a parade " I answer bluntly

"Darling! Why do you choose to hide your achievements? Combination magic {earth rhino}, taming of a behemoth, even your identity as Viscount Magias and the only Fyreed Mage first class in the empire?!" Anne shouts tearfully

"I-I didn't mean to upset you, I just don't really want to be the center of attention or go through a parade. But if that is what you want then I shall oblige" I answer, backing away a bit.

"Hahaha, so the Behemoth King is still afraid of his wife huh? Well, that's good. " Marchioness Cleione comes in laughing.

"Marchioness Richards?" I ask confused

"Haha, You can call me mom, or still call me aunty you know. Anyway, I just came in to check on you. You must have been exhausted, in order to sleep for so long." Marchioness chuckles

"Good morning dear," Cara says coming into the room.

"Good morning Cara. Are you here to check up on me as well?" I ask a bit hopeful

"Actually, I am here to help convince you to be in the parade, though I guess that is not necessary anymore," Cara says calmly

"Convince me...?" I ask

"Yeah when we heard about the parade we figured that you wouldn't want to participate, we were planning to add pressure from the nine of us until you agreed. " Anne admits apologetically

"We know you well enough to know that you probably wouldn't want to be in the limelight but we figured that if we made it as something we wanted you would agree, though I guess we overestimated your stubbornness," Cara said embarrassment coloring her cheeks.

"You guys should know that I would do anything in my power for you, if marching in a parade and being recognized can bring smiles to your beautiful faces then it is a simple matter," I answer back bashfully

"Haha, Cara, Anne I can see why you girls are all so in love with him." Marchioness Cleione laughs before exiting the room.

After that, I tell all my fiancees about my dream and upper realms. I also explain that I want to research more into it and channeling higher realm beings, but for now, we need to keep it a secret, at least until we know more.
