Chapter 62: Homecoming (3)

༺ Homecoming (3) ༻

"H-Has the Young Master returned?"

"The Young Master has returned?"

"Is that really true?!"

"..."

Herman barely suppressed a sigh that tried to burst out and gestured to the maids who were gathered around, indicating that they should stop their chatter and focus on working.

While watching the maids dispersing with a hand placed on his forehead, a slightly amused voice mixed with laughter came from beside him.

"It seems like that Young Master's karma is quite deep. I wonder if he can handle it."

"He has been clever since he was young, so I think he'll manage on his own, Hana."

"He has always been an outstanding person. However, I still didn't expect him to bring such individuals with him."

The Head Maid, Hana, spoke while gazing beyond the window where the carriage was visible.

"Margrave Kendride and Duke Tristan. How incredible. Have you already reported this to the Baron?"

"Right now, it's a bit... you know? I heard that Viscount Goldic just arrived."

Herman's tired demeanor was completely understandable to Hana as well, as she gave out a bitter smile.

"...Count Chester has been showing an unusual amount of interest in our territory lately. The Baron must be having a hard time."

If one were to ask who was the most powerful nobles within this area, Count Chester would be mentioned without a doubt.

Viscount Goldic was merely that man's lackey.

"It is indeed a strange occurrence."

"Excuse me?"

"Count Chester has been here a few times before. He was ambitious, but he at least held some amount of decorum. I doubt he would try to forcefully take someone else's land like this."

"..."

"I don't know what's come over him. Maybe there's some problem within his territory."

"Well, it doesn't seem like the time for us to worry about someone else's territory."

After saying that, Hana looked out the window once again.

"Especially when such prestigious households bring their carriages to our territory... Normally, this implies something, right?"

Herman accurately understood the hidden meaning behind her words and couldn't suppress a sigh this time.

"...They won't go as far as proposing a marriage."

"You seem quite certain about this, hm?"

"Both families are in such a high position that just the hint of a marriage proposal would cause a political storm. If such rumors were circulating, the heads of the households themselves would have attended."

"..."

Herman's words made Hana's bitter smile even more noticeable.

Meanwhile, Herman's expression was one of inexplicable unease.

"Have you read this before? It just arrived via a magically engineered carrier pigeon."

Hana handed Herman a letter.

"Perhaps these two households are more serious than we thought."

What was imprinted on the envelope was a divine emblem. Even among them, an emblem with 3 wings indicated the highest authority; Excluding the Pope, only two others were qualified to use it.
