I silently packed my luggage, included the cape Veirya had made for and sky-blue cape and robe Sisi gave inside, setting my cane by the head of the bed. Anna prepared our rations and horse carriage. Angelina stood leaning against the door fra, watching the entire ti. Only when I went to the door with my luggage did she say, You know, even though Achilles is dead, it still doesnt have anything to do with you. Dont you think that youre acting more and more on your emotions recently? When you first t Veirya, you did everything and cared for nothing. You even used Ascillia, who was ill. Now, however, youre running head first into sothing totally unrelated to you when sobody just happened to die in front of you and at this point in ti no less.
I know I can turn a blind eye to Achilles death. If my conscience couldnt stand it, I could refuse what he left and hand it all over to Sisi, thereby disassociating myself from the matter. If I was more shaless, I could ignore Achilles and just waltz off with everything he left . I could then marry Veirya and enjoy life without worrying about him.
I paused and smiled helplessly, However, would Veirya want to see do that? Is that the example Im supposed to set for Leah? Moreover, the most important thing is that I cant forget the look of despair in Achilles eyes. Ive continued to see the look in his eyes the last ti he looked at when I dream of him daily. Ive been thinking: isnt Achilles the sa as I am? When Veirya got hurt, I reacted the exact sa way he did. At the ti, I wouldve been so glad if sobody could help . At the ti, Achilles helped ; otherwise, I wouldnt have made it back, and Veirya mightve been held captive in the elven lands. I, as a matter of fact, mightve died at the imperial capital. Ive thought about the things you ntioned, but I cant accept it.
Nice people dont live long in this world, argued Angelina, after chuckling and stepping aside.
Being a nice guy isnt on my agenda. With that said, I do cherish my friends. Plus, I dont plan to kill Albert. ting out so punishnt will do. I want what Achilles left behind for . That being the case, I must help him.
Sure, Angelina was right; no argunt there. I did beco more and more emotional. I knew that I was different to my old self. I didnt know if Veirya was gradually changing, as well, or not. What I knew was that Veirya would help him if she was in my skin. She was an idiot from my perspective, but the idiot was pulling in her direction.
Anna bowed to when I got downstairs: Lord Lin, the things you need have been prepared. Additionally, Ross has sothing to say to you.
Umm, Lord Lin I want to make a trip ho, I an, to see my sister While we were there my sister sent a letter. She hoped I could go stay with her for so ti. I I have not seen my sister for long ti, so I really miss my sister Can can you let visit ho for so ti? I will not be too long! I will do my best to co back as soon as possible! Ross voice was so soft that I could barely hear it.
I felt awkward. If we didnt have the matter with Achilles, Id be happy to let Ross go ho to visit his sister. Now, though, I was also heading to the South. On the surface, nonetheless, I was heading to the imperial capital. I was worried that Ross would reveal my plan. At the sa ti, I didnt have a reason to refuse him. If I refused to let him go without a reason, thatd be too an. Id bet Leah would beg to let him go as she didnt know what my plan was. If he was the Ross from a while ago, he wouldve given up by that point, but not this ti, which ant that he was very eager to go and didnt want to give up.
Sure, Ross. Go visit ho. Ill give you so money so that you can buy so stuff for your sister and make your trip easier.
Thank you, Lord Lin! Ross excitedly nodded then bowed with joy.
I nodded and got up. Veirya inford, Im ready. We can go. Tomorrow.
Okay.
Leah sprawled on the table and snored. To be fair, it was late for a child. I picked her up, and she wrapped her arms around my neck. I still slept together with her despite what transpired. The main reason I made the decision to sleep with her was to allow her to take in my scent. I assud that it would allow her to last longer without . Looking at her, I felt a tad concerned.
How will Leah react when she sees the dead succubi? Like Achilles, I cherish Veirya and Leah the most. What do I do if sothing happens to them? What do I do if I beco the next Achilles and nobody helps ? Achilles was worse off than I am. I, at least, know Queen Sisi. If I didnt, Id truly be a longer here. Exchanging my first engagent for Sisi would be quite the hefty price tag, I mused.

Watch what you do in the South. Whats the aning behind swinging weapons in my imperial capital? Is your intention to revolt? slamd Sisi, eyes on the tied up group of business n on the ground who quaked with fear. Sisi stood up with a cold expression: I dont want to get involved with the nonsense beefs you have with each other, but your nonsense cost Achilles. If I dont te out any punishnt, I wont be able to appease my anger. Lets do this: all of you are to pay five thousand gold coins. Tell your family mbers to send it over. Ill send the money to Achilles family, and well consider the matter over and done with.
Five thousand gold coins wasnt a too large a sum for a businessman; they could pay it without a doubt. What really mattered was that Achilles had made Queen Sisi another dozen thousands of gold coins.
