Chapter 6: Beautiful Figure, Oath, Announcement

Translator: Henyee

Reiter walked slowly out of the hall, his steps steady and heavy. He followed the short path about five meters to his left to his room.

After lighting the candle, Reiter opened the cabinet by the window and took out a portrait. The portrait in Reiter’s hand looked a little old, but it was very clean. There was the appearance of a beautiful woman in the portrait.

Looking at the familiar person, the thoughts in Reiter’s mind spread as he recalled all the good things in the past.

This was the first and only woman he had ever had after transmigrating.

Tucker, Rylei, and Thales were all brothers of the same mother. Unfortunately, while he was fighting at the front line, his wife, Nicole, encountered an accident and was ambushed and killed by a Class 1 Magical Beast, the Water Pattern Snake.

His three sons also launched an investigation and found no signs of artificial interference. However, he often thought that if he had been by Nicole’s side at that time, the outcome might have been different.

This matter had become the pain that Reiter had been suppressing in his heart.

The special experience tonight, especially the rebirth from adversity, reminded Reiter of this matter again. He walked to the window and pushed it open. The cold wind blew on his face, waking him up a little.

He clenched his fists and muttered, “Nicole, don’t worry. I will protect our descendants well. This is the most beautiful miracle you left behind when you were alive. I will never let anyone hurt them. Never!”

…

Three days later.

At the dining table in the first-floor hall, Reiter shared breakfast with his three sons.

Tucker held the knife and fork in his hand, but the way he ate was very rough. He gulped down the food like a hungry ghost.

If it were any other noble, they might have been reprimanded by their elders for eating like this. However, in Reiter’s eyes, he did not take it to heart.

Not only did it have to do with the relatively open mind he had when he transmigrated, but it also had to do with the fact that he had been fighting on the front line for many years and did not care about trifles.

He himself used a silver fork to pick up three pieces of cut steak strips at once and sent them straight into his mouth too. The texture was full.

Rylei chewed on his bread and glanced at his father from time to time. He had always been meticulous and intelligent. He seemed to feel that his father’s condition was much better than before.

This was not a sudden discovery. Instead, he had felt that something was wrong since two days ago. However, over the past two days, his impression of it had continuously deepened.

For example, the white hair on his forehead had been cut off, his spirit was much better, and he spent less time lying on the chair, and so on.

However, he was smart enough not to take the initiative to mention this matter. He continued to silently eat his own bread.

Reiter chewed on his steak while paying attention to his third son, Thales. He had not announced this news for the past few days, and no one in the territory knew that his injuries had actually completely recovered.

After all, three nights ago, everyone knew about his condition. It was still so serious that he coughed up blood.

Therefore, he needed a certain buffer time to choose the right time to announce this matter. He saw Thales holding a glass of milk in his hand and staring straight at the food in front of him, seemingly distracted.

Suddenly, Thales finished the milk and turned his head. He seemed to have mustered up his courage and said, “Father, I think I’m almost an adult and should undergo some training.”

Thales’ tender voice sounded like a 13-14-year-old child, but he was clearly 18 years old.

Reiter smiled. “So, how do you want to do it?”

“I… I want to follow the caravan to another territory to make a deal to increase my practical ability!” Of course, Thales would not say that he wanted to take the risk to look for Lilice. Instead, he used the excuse that he had prepared in advance.

Tucker also put down his cutlery. His mouth was still stuffed with food. He waved his other thick arm and said in a muffled voice, “Thales, it’s a little dangerous for you to go alone. I’ll go with you. If there’s an emergency, I can help you block it!”

Tucker was now a Grade 1 Knight. Although he was only in the middle stage, he could even fight against a Grade 1 Knight in the later stages with his slight physical talent.

Thales didn’t seem to realize that his big brother had interrupted him. He hurriedly waved his hand to refuse. “Ah, there’s no need for that, Brother Tucker. I’ll go alone. That’ll help with the training, won’t it?”

At this moment, Rylei also looked at his third brother. He, who had always understood his third brother’s personality and style of doing things, felt that something was amiss. His brows furrowed slightly.

“Oh? Thales, since you want to train yourself, which territory do you plan to follow the caravan to trade?” Rylei asked casually.

“I’m going to Maple Forest Town this time!” Thales replied easily. He had done his homework in advance.

“So it’s Maple Forest Town…” Rylei’s tone dragged out slightly before changing the topic. “The specialty of Maple Forest Town, ‘Snow Maple Syrup’, suffered a serious blow this winter. It has already announced a temporary business closure to the public. Don’t you know?”

This question immediately stumped Thales. He stood rooted to the ground, as if his mind had yet to process the situation. After a while, he said weakly, “Why have I heard of it…”

Seeing his third son’s ears turn red, Reiter knew that it was about time. If he continued, with his youngest son’s introverted personality, he would definitely be embarrassed. Besides, it was time to announce some things!

“Ahem.” After a light cough, Reiter slapped the table and said, “Calm down. I have something to tell everyone.”

As the head of the family, there was naturally no need to mention Reiter’s prestige. Even the insensitive Tucker straightened his back after hearing his father’s words and put down the knife and fork in his hand.

The three brothers looked at their father in unison. Beside Reiter, Svieta had been standing silently, ready to quietly listen to the Patriarch’s instructions.

Reiter was very used to this scene. He calmly said, “Yesterday, when I was sorting out the things my father left behind, I made a new discovery. I actually found a bottle of Green Vine Potion in a box. It has a miraculous effect on the White-Headed Eagle Poison.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell silent. Then, Reiter added, “I’m almost fully recovered now. In other words, you don’t have to worry all day long. With me around, no difficulty can stop us!”

His calm tone exuded endless charm, like a strong wind blowing away the dark clouds that had been lingering in everyone’s hearts for many days.

At this point, Svieta and his three sons gradually realized what had happened! Their eyes flickered with shock and joy.

Svieta was the first to speak. He bowed and sighed with joy. “Congratulations, Master. You’re fine. That’s the greatest joy.”

Reiter turned his head and nodded. Svieta’s father used to be Reiter’s father’s butler. When he was alive, he was loyal and steady. Shortly after his death, Reiter’s father also left. Later on, Svieta inherited his father’s outstanding qualities and was deeply trusted by Reiter. He naturally became the new butler of the Green family.

Tucker’s expression was the most exaggerated. His mouth was wide open like Doraemon’s dimensional pocket. He didn’t think too much about it and only felt that it was a great thing. He said happily, “Grandfather is unkind. He actually hid the good things so deeply! Hahahaha!”
