Vincent laughed briefly ‘hoho’.

He was over this because he knew he was the one who would be grabbing the back of his own neck and fell* if he reacted more than this. He opened his mouth with a gentle smile on his face.

“Haha, yes. Sir’s head is good enough to be used as a decoration.”

“I’m flattered.”

Don’t get shy. It’s not a compliment.

Aria sighed and wiped her face, flapping her lips. But in the end, she didn’t say anything.

‘…… If you’re happy, maybe that’ll be enough?’

If the level of common sense stopped at that level, would it not be that he just didn’t want to know? Cloud would just be a happy knight if he had a master to serve while honing his swordsmanship.

Aria also smiled vaguely, but she still punished Vincent by stepping on his foot for his words.

Don’t make fun of my knight.

“I just agreed with him because he said his head was a decoration…”

Vincent let out a small groan and was surprised, then put down the documents and said.

“I had a quick look at what Sister-in-law asked for.”

“What do you think?”

“I remember all the records about Atlantis that I found in the Angelo Library last time.”

After showing off his memory, he shook his head.

“But I don’t remember reading anything about it. I can’t find it anywhere else.”

“I see…….”

Was it so?

Aria let out a sigh openly, showing her disappointment. She turned her attention back to the news that Cloud brought.

“Which family is the Lord from exactly?”

“It is Viscount O’Neill. He said he didn’t know anything about the man’s whereabouts, but I don’t know if he was pretending….”

Cloud trembled with a sense of betrayal. Aria and Vincent stared at him with cold eyes.

“Anyway, I’ve heard that his family was sold to the Underhill Slave.”

“What? Already?”

Aria jumped up from her seat.

More because the Underhill Slave trader was a large-scale slave trader operating around the world based on the Kingdom of Bruto. It was quite a troublesome place to touch.

“When were they sold?”

“It was a week ago. Usually, after educating slaves, they are auctioned off in the market, but recently they are all sent to the Kingdom of Bruto.”

“Why?”

The Kingdom of Bruto was a country bordered by Garcia and the lowest place in between. In order to get there from the Fineta Empire by ship, it would take a long time.

Was there any reason to move slaves from other country to their home country?

‘It would be a waste of time and money and the procedure would be very complicated. If things go wrong, it can lead to problems between countries and cause casualties.’

It was not something they would do at the expense of such loss.

“I heard that the Kingdom of Bruto has been collecting slaves on a large scale recently, but I don’t know the details.”
