Chapter 437

"Rid. I think it's time for us to get to the office,  you know ?"

Fara and I huffed and scurried away.

"Ha, yes!"

"Sorry about that, too. Father"

The two of us bowed together, our faces reddening, and Father grinned.

"It's good that you two are getting along so well. I'm going to the room first."

He patted Mel on the head and started walking toward his office.

I'll be right there," I reply, turning back to Farrah.

'Well, I'll see you later."

Yes, I will. I brought you this.

She nodded, reached into her pocket, and pulled out "something".

I looked at the familiar object and was taken aback.

That's ・・・・・・ liquid, isn't it?

Of course, it is the potion for restoring magic power.

She nodded "yes" with a big smile on her face.

"You performed some amazing magic on the training ground. Besides, you're going to have another meeting after this, right? If so, this is a must."

It was like handing someone a nutritional drink as a gift.

She was right.

But it tasted terrible.

If possible, I would like to drink it later, but I can't ignore Fara's feelings.

"Thank you . I'll take it."

"Please take it."

I took the " liquid " from her and drank it down in one gulp, determined.

In the presence of everyone in the mansion, I couldn't show them how pathetic I was.

'Phew. Thank you. Well, I'm off."

When I handed her the empty bottle, she nodded with narrowed eyes.

"Yes, please go. See you later."

Smiling at everyone present with a fresh spirit, she hurried after her father.

Needless to say, I gulped down a glass of water when I arrived at the office after meeting my father.

The Bardia family belongs to the Empire and the Grandek family belongs to the Beast Kingdom.

At the border point where the two families' estates meet, there is a "fort" built by the Bardia family.

In front of and behind the fort there is a high plateau, but if you go to either side, you will be surrounded by deep forests and hills of various sizes.

From a slightly elevated position a short distance away, the "fort" appears to be nestled in a gap between hills thickly covered with deep forest.

The fort was called "Fort Narama" because of its location on the border between the two countries.

One afternoon as the sun began to set.

A large carriage surrounded by Bardia Knights came to the narrow fort.

From a distance, the carriage appeared to be escorted by the knights.

Up close, however, one could see that the knights were in a deadly rage against the chariot.

The group halted their progress as they entered the narrow fortress, and one of the knights approached the carriage and carefully tapped on the door.

'Beyond this point, Master Elba and Master Malbus, you are in the territory of the Foxmen, so this is as far as we will go. "

"I see. Thank you very much for your hard work."

Malbus in the car nodded indifferently.

At that moment, Elba suddenly looked at the knight and raised his eyebrows.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Cross."

Elba nodded.

"I've heard that name somewhere."

"I'm afraid it's because it's a very common name."

When Cross answered, Elba shrugged his shoulders and sniffed.

'That may be so, Well then, give my regards to the Bardia family.

'・・・・・・I beg your pardon."

Swallowing the words, "What the hell? Cross swallowed his words and bowed.

The coach with Elba and the others on it started moving and left the narrow fortress not long after that.

When the carriage entered the territory of the Foxmen, Elba, who was inside the carriage, saw the face of Malbus and started laughing.

"You don't look pleased."

Malbus, his mouth agape and his hands outstretched in excitement.

'・・・・・・ of course I am. My brother has admitted that he was defeated by such a child, even if it was only a formality, you know? With that, the disposition of the remnants of the rebellion is now a mess. It seems as if they have gone home with their tails between their legs, doesn't it?

"You say that. We knew from the beginning that there would be trouble. And since the liners came out, it was time to pull out. It was not the right time yet."

Elba sneered and laughed.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself, brother."

"Hmm, does it look that way to you?"

"I knew it, that kid. I see you like that kid, Rid Bardia?"

"Well, something like that."

Nodding in response to the question, Elba looked at the scars on his arms.

"Rafa is indeed the one who has caught his attention. I look forward to the future. But that's why it's a shame.'

A pity, is it? What do you mean by that?

"Ten years."

"Ten years?"

When Malbus tilted his head, Elba's mouth relaxed into a grin.

"Ten more years. If only that much time had passed, Rid might have gained power similar to mine. If I were to destroy him now, it would be tasteless and boring. That's what's disappointing."

"I see. I see. As expected of you, brother."

Elba's answer seemed to satisfy him.

Malbus's expression changed and a smile appeared on his face.

However, his face immediately clouded over again with a huff.

"By the way, how do you see Rainer Bardia?"

'Ah, yes, ・・・・・・.'

Elba slowly opened his mouth as he contemplated the time he and Rainer had glared at each other.

Perhaps he is stronger than Greas, who was my uncle, but weaker than I ame. I'd say."

'Oh ・・・・・・.'

Malbus let out an exclamation, "And ・・・・・・," Elba continued.

If push comes to shove, I'll fight with my father and you guys. That way, we can be sure to take out the Reiner."

"I understand. I'll be ready for that."

Malbus smiled and nodded, and Elba narrowed his eyes.

"Now, we're going to get busy,"

Yes, I am aware of that. The next step is to provoke, isn't it?

Malbus asked back as if to confirm, and Elba nodded yes.

"We will use the connections we have made so far to thoroughly provoke the Bardia family to isolate themselves. Of course, we will also have 'the man' work for us through 'Robe."

Elba cleared his throat as he looked out the carriage window into the distance.

He looked out the carriage window into the distance and cleared his throat. Now the real work begins.

The sun had completely set at about the same time as the two men finished their conversation. and the area was enveloped in the darkness of night.

On this day, the meeting between the Bardia and Grandek families ended in a breakdown.

The fact that the talks had broken down caused ripples and swells in various places.
