"I assume they are in the adventurer guild, right, Eric?"

Still a bit surprised that I commend him on finding Rain of all people, which, honestly, I was also surprised that it happened, since I wouldn't have expected my brother to be able to do something like that.

Taking a moment to process what I said, he quickly asked.

"Wait, what kind of information did you find about my sister, and how do you know that guy?"

"I will tell you when everyone is together," Looking at my brother in the eyes. "He is a friend of mine; we met while I was doing some quests together. We first met when I saved him from a couple of horned rabbits chasing him, but anyways, how did you find Rain of all people?"

"With this," pulling out a piece of paper, my brother showed me a surprisingly well-drawn sketch of me. "I've been asking people around, and one of them said they saw someone matching my sister's description partying with someone."

"I see, but why the heck were you shouting at him?"

Making my intent clear beneath an expressionless face, I directly made sure he knew that shouting at or threatening Rain would not be tolerated by me.

So, saying that, Eric clenched his hands tightly and he gritted his teeth, explaining.

"Because everyone is relying on you to find my sister. All of them practically gave up looking for her."

"I see. I could see why, since there isn't much of a point in looking for her now, since you've got a couple of days left to find her. and the fact that they're letting me do it in their stead."

"So, why? Why do Aria and Edwen see in you what I don't?'

"Well, for starters, I've already figured out where your sister went after she left Farsbarow, which Rain coincidentally confirmed."

"But still, I can't give up; Father is counting on me."

"Counting on you for what exactly? Because I severely doubt he would count on you if it were that easy."

"You don't know that. How can you? He wouldn't have let me go to find her if he knew I couldn't."

Geez, it's honestly surprising that Eric is still so blind—no, more like brainwashed—to think our father is a good person... especially with how much blood he can and would spill.

Thinking just that, anger flared up inside me, reminding me of Boras and the black knights he sent after me, which didn't help much because of the fact that my brother looked like our father, but I didn't show it, keeping my normal, usual expressionless face on.

So, taking a moment to calm down internally, I responded because I wanted to warn him about our father.

"You know... From what I know of him, I think you should distance yourself from him."

Even though I don't really have any emotional connection toward him—we are practically strangers—as strangers, I can't help but warn them, since that wouldn't sit right with me.

However, Eric narrowed his eyes, and anger showed on his face, shouting.

"Don't you dare talk about him like that! What right do you have to utter disrespect for a commoner?!"

Already expecting that sort of response, I calmly said.

"Because he is going to become a commoner in a couple of months from now, if not executed."

Hearing my words, Eric's narrowed eyes that were glaring at me widened unbelievably.

"What!! What do you mean??!!!"
