Chapter 160: The Warmth of Family
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The young knight was Yaguez who had followed Old Wilson from Blackwater City to the Kingdom of Blackmoon. Back then, Yaguez was just an ordinary knight. He was not even a heavy-armoured knight nor did he have any quality to beco an Elental Swordsman.
However, a year had gone past. When rlin saw Yaguez again, he noticed that Yaguez had grown into a muscular man, as if he had undergone a second puberty where his physical attribute was astonishingly excellent. He had reached the peak of a First-level Elental Swordsman.
rlin imdiately realized that Old Wilson must have taught the strange posture of the mysterious relief sculpture to Yaguez. This was why he possessed such strong physical attribute now.
Yaguez was extrely surprised. Staring at rlin who had uncovered his face, he exclaid in an almost shaky voice, “Baron... Sir Baron? Is that really you?”
rlin nodded. “That’s right. I’m back. Let’s go in together.”
Then, rlin brought Yaguez and entered the castle together.
Celia and Conxion were brought to the hall by the maids. When rlin reached the hall, Yaguez explained rlin’s identity to the two young maids.
These maids had entered Wilson Castle after rlin had left. Upon hearing that this young man was the true master of Wilson Castle, Baron rlin, they quickly put Celia and Conxion down and bowed respectfully to rlin. “Sir Baron!”
rlin waved his hands and placed his gaze on Celia and Conxion. These two were not afraid of strangers. Full of curiosity, they even blinked softly and stared at rlin.
rlin reached out his hands and hugged Celia and Conxion – both seed quiet and did not wriggle out from his arms. They were only curious about the long black robe on rlin as they pulled the robe relentlessly.
Looking at Celia and Conxion, rlin did not feel particularly pumped up. Instead, a faint warmth flowed into his heart as they were the best proof of his existence in this world – his blood flowed in Celia and Conxion’s body.
“rlin!”
“rlin!”
Suddenly, two familiar voices rang. rlin raised his head to see two beautiful won running down from the second floor. They were rlin’s wives – Charise and Avril.
Charise seed to look the sa whilst Avril was younger. After a year, her figure had blood into a full-grown and her physique looked fuller. Her exquisite face which resembled a porcelain doll back then had beco mature and more attractive now.
rlin put Celia and Conxion down and smiled at his wives, walked toward them quickly and spoke softly, “Yes, I’m back.”
Charise and Avril were filled with surprise. They quickly ca to rlin while holding Celia and Conxion in their arms respectively.
Avril was still as shy and quiet as before even though she kept her eyes glued on rlin. She seed to have a lot of questions, but she did not reveal her thoughts. Charise appeared more outspoken as she said to rlin, “rlin, we’ve received your letter where you ntioned that you’ll be back after two or three years.”
rlin shook his head rather helplessly. “There’s a small incident in the Dark Magic Region, so I return earlier than expected. But I don’t know when I’ll leave again.”
Following that, rlin asked about so matters regarding Celia and Conxion. When the children were ntioned, even the shy Avril had endless stories to share where she could not stop the chat.
rlin listened carefully as he glanced at Celia and Conxion. Warmth which made him feel like ho filled his heart to the brim. Only in his ho and in front of his family that he was able to feel completely relaxed.
After the few had chatted for a while, the maids had understandingly left them. rlin asked about Old Wilson.
“Right, where’s Father? Is he still at the territory?”
Charise nodded. “Yes. Father’s been in the territory all this while, taking care of Conxion Town. But due to the tension between Prakash City and Lebis City lately, the rchants in Conxion Town have been decreasing. The tax revenue from the territory has declined by at least thirty percent during these few months.”
Upon ntioning this, Charise seed helpless. Moreover, since Old Wilson was at the territory all the ti and with rlin’s absence, almost everything in Wilson Castle was managed by Charise and the old butler.
Probably Charise was more experienced in managent, the old butler had seldom cared about the matter in the castle lately. Most of the things were arranged by Charise and nothing had gone wrong. Instead, everything was managed neatly and accordingly.
Thus, when she talked about the tax revenue from the territory, Charise furrowed her eyebrows.
“Lebis City?”
rlin recalled about those sneaky Elental Swordsn he had t during his journey back to Prakash City. They must be from Lebis City.
“What’s the matter exactly?”
rlin did not know a lot about Lebis City except that it was a city-state near Prakash City. Before he left Prakash City, everything seed to be fine.
Charise shook her head. “I’m not sure about the exact reason. Maybe only Count Selin will know. There’s increasing tension in the air during these few months. Even Count Selin has gathered so Spell Casters again. They seed to be preparing for a war.”
Avril glanced at rlin, then added in a low voice, “Yeah. Since you left, Count Selin recruited two Spell Casters, especially that Wizard Baires...”
Before she finished her words, Charise quickly interrupted her. “Avril!”
rlin frowned and a strange light flashed in his eyes. Then, he waved his hands. “It’s alright. Avril, continue what you’re saying!”
Avril did not dare to speak now. Instead, she glanced at Charise cautiously. Having seen Avril’s reaction, rlin knew that Charise had beco the true master of Wilson Castle.
However, rlin was not dissatisfied by that. Having a capable wife was an excellent thing, so he placed his gaze at Charise. He said in a heavy tone, “Since Avril doesn’t want to say it, Charise, you tell about it!”
Charise was a little helpless, but she saw rlin’s slightly dark expression. After hesitating for a while, she told him at last, “Alright. Three months ago, Wizard Baires, whom Count Selin has recruited, heard from who-knows-where that you’ve defeated rilung of the Abyss Fort and you’ve also obtained rilung’s ring.
“Then, he looked for all sorts of excuses to enter Wilson Castle, but we rejected him. Dissatisfied, he crashed into the castle thinking that you must have left sothing in Wilson Castle, so he ca looking for them.”
“But Wizard Hill ca right in ti and scared Wizard Baires away...”
After Charise explained the situation, rlin squinted his eyes and let out a frigid air. He looked at Charise and Avril and asked softly, “Did anything happen to you guys?”
Charise and Avril shook their heads and replied, “We’re fine thanks to Wizard Hill... But I heard Wizard Hill’s situation has worsened. He did not go out in public lately.”
rlin nodded again. This was the reason he asked the black-robed old man to take care of the Wilson family as well as Count Selin at the sa ti. If it was not the old man, he was afraid that Wilson Castle would not be as calm as it was now.
However, rlin knew about the old man’s situation. He might have “scared” Wizard Baires away, but he must have paid a great price for it. After all, his Spell Models were unstable. He could not easily cast a spell or his Spell Models might crumble anyti.
“Baires, huh? I owed Wizard Hill once this ti... But it’s good that you’re fine. Alright, let’s not talk about the unhappy incident. Let have a good look at Celia and Conxion...”
rlin glanced at the children who were twisting around on the ground. Then, he played with Celia and Conxion, along with Charise and Avril. He was enjoying a chance that was hard to co by to spend quality ti with his family. At once, a series of laughter echoed from the hall...
...
In the castellan’s castle, a guard was reporting the news that Baron rlin had returned to Prakash City in detail.
Count Selin revealed a hint of surprise and asked anxiously, “Are you sure it’s Baron rlin?”
The guard nodded with a serious face. “Yes, it’s Baron rlin indeed. I won’t see it wrongly.”
“Haha. Good. Good. Now that Baron rlin is back, we have another strong aid to our side!”
Count Selin was truly exhilarated. He had been worried about the matter with Lebis City recently. Now that rlin had returned, this was already the best news during these few months.
“Oh? Is it Wizard rlin who have resolved the danger at Sir Count’s castle and defeated rilung of the Abyss Fort?”
Beside Count Selin, one of the calm-looking n suddenly spoke in a passionate tone.
Count Selin nodded and smiled. “That’s right. It’s Wizard rlin! But he’s the baron in my Prakash City now. Wizard Baires, didn’t you always want to et Wizard rlin? Here’s your chance now. I’ll call for Wizard rlin.”
Count Selin imdiately sent a few guards to look for rlin at Wilson Castle.
“Yes, I really want to et Wizard rlin.”
Wizard Baires stared at the door, his gaze filled with passion...
...
“Sir Baron, there’re so guards out there, saying they’re sent by Sir Count. They want to invite Sir Baron to the castle.”
The muscular Yaguez suddenly walked in the castle and inford rlin respectfully.
The smiles on Charise and Avril’s face slowly disappeared. They glanced at rlin.
rlin slowly stood up and replied calmly, “Since it’s Count Selin, I’ll go. It’s ti to et Count Selin as well!”
rlin’s aura was a little dark. Then, he walked out of Wilson Castle and followed the guards, heading to Count Selin’s castle.
