Chapter 5 : Duke Auriga

♦♦♦

"Father, is what you just said true? Would Duke Auriga seriously bring his daughter with him to our territory?"

"Yes, it is true Jiasch..."

The one who asks is my older sister, her name is Jiasch.

After hearing about Duke's daughter, she is the one who is the most worried about it.

And my reaction? well, I don't see any problem with it.

I mean the duke only bring his daughter to our mansion. For me, it's not that kind of a big deal. There is no problem with it.

Yup, it is. Definitely not because I am oblivious to the whole thing forcing me to arrive at this conclusion.

...

Yup definitely... and you don't need to look at me like that.

...

I-I'm not lying...

...

Uhm... okay, fine I'll admit it. I am oblivious to what my family is talking about.

I am still a child you know!! An 8-year-old!!

Don't expect me to understand something instantly without context.

Ugh... I'm not on purpose trying to be oblivious to the whole thing. I'll try harder next time. So don't be mad at me...

...

Uhm... let's focus on my family conversation.

It seems like Jiasch has a troublesome expression on her face.

"Father, is there any particular reason why Duke Auriga has to bring his daughter?"

"In his letter, Duke Auriga only explains that he wants his daughter to only have fun here and enjoy her time. This is just my speculation but I think his intention was for his daughter to have some rest from her study."

"Father, I... I understand about it... but shouldn't there be a much better place than here? you must know that our territory is a dangerous one. Our territory is the front line of war. I know there is no sign of attack for more than a decade but... I don't think we could guarantee the protection of Duke Daughter, right now."

Jiasch pleads to my father. But Father only shook his head.

"I would like to agree with that, but I can do nothing with Duke Auriga's decision. Even when we are talking right now, I'm sure he is already on his way to our territory. There is nothing I could do to stop it."

Hearing it, Jiasch lets out a frustrated sigh. She then backs to sitting on her chair and presses her hand on her forehead.

Waaa.... She is really stressed by this whole situation.

Well, I guess after hearing Jiasch's explanation I understand why it is such a dangerous thing.

This territory is right at the frontline of the war. it's the farthest west side of the Kingdom Via Lactea

And it's still new. Security is not yet perfectly formed. Most of the funds are used by the army to defend this territory from the Demon Lord army's ambush. Which is bordering us on the west.

I don't understand why The Duke would bring his daughter here. She could get hurt.

From what Jiasch said it's more than a decade since anything happen, maybe The Duke believes this territory is safe because of that, I guess...
