Chapter 142

Translator: Yonnee

Roberts jaw was clenched as tight as it could be. A grinding sound could be heard coming from him audibly.

Sold where?

T-To the marquisate! The Russell Marquisate!

Then, Irene cupped both of her hands around her mouth, and her voice dropped to a whisper.

I-I dont know what kind of hardships Milady is going through now. Please help her!

The look behind Roberts eyes sank darkly.

He bowed slightly to express his gratitude towards Irene.

Thank you. I commend you for your courage.

You must help her, sir

At this, Robert nodded.

I definitely shall. I will put even my own life on the line.

His words carried nothing but sincerity, with no need to add nor subtract anything.

As he had decided to visit Radis, Yves Russell now stood outside the door without taking a step inside the drawing room just yet.

You all can just continue. Dont mind me.

A few young women were seen sitting round the table of the drawing room. They were having a small tea party amongst themselves until now, but they quickly rose from their seats the moment he arrived.

Yves Russell, embarrassed, hurriedly repeated,

No, you can just continue

Then, Radis spoke to the maids.

You guys can just sit down. Ill be back in a bit.

After Radis saw that they sat down again, she was the one who left the drawing room and closed the door behind her.

Yves spoke in a somber tone.

I seem to always disturb you all.

Ah, well Isnt it inevitable since youre the boss?

I guess I am, but never mind. More than that

Glancing sideways at Radis, Yves asked,

Are you alright? You know, like, how you feel

Radiss face went slightly red.

It was a few days ago that Margarets rampage took place, and the people of the marquisate didnt broach the topic with her a single time. They were careful not to mention Margaret or House Tilrod to Radis as if they had all agreed to it.

However, oddly enough, they all kept walking on eggshells around her.

Just like how Yves was doing now.

Im fine.

R-Right. T-Thats good.

Lost as to how he should act, Yves brought a hand over his lips and chin.

Then, he suddenly handed over a thick envelope to her.

Upon receiving it, Radis flipped it over and confirmed the name of the sender.

Daniel Sheldon.

She nearly asked, Whos that? but soon recalled that it was Armanos real name.

Master!

Seeing how her mood soared right then, Yves gruffly snorted.

Since he sent a letter through me, Sir Sheldon must have finally come to his senses.

Radis glanced slightly up at him and thanked him.

However, Yves did not turn around even after he had already delivered the letter.

Just what does that guy want anyway?

Seriously, gosh! Even if you guys know each other from way back! Right now, youre mine! Right now, my! My vassal! Isnt that so, Radis? Right?

The contents of her teachers letter seemed to bother him.

Sighing, Radis opened the letter before Yvess eyes.

Most of the letter contained normal small talk, but the main part was towards the end.

[ My cutest and loveliest student.

Over here, I told my friends about you.

When they learned that I taught you imperial swordsmanship, they said that they wish to ascertain your skills for themselves. ]

Yvess eyes grew very wide.

Look! That guy really still hasnt come back to his senses! I knew this would happen!

Puzzled, Radis asked.

Whats wrong?

For you to show your imperial swordsmanship skills in front of the Order of the White Dragon? Its the same as saying that theyre going to recruit you!

..!

Thats not happening at all!

Mulling it over for a moment, Radis spoke up.

Wait a minute, Marquis. If I get into the Order of the White Dragon Wouldnt that be very beneficial to the Marquisate?

But Yves firmly shook his head.

No!

Then, with a tone more vigorous and more enthused, he continued.

Listen, Radis. The Order of the White Dragon is the best chivalric order of the whole Empire. Sure, you could say that being part of that order is an honor in its own way as a knight. But! If you join them, youre going to be chained to Geas.

Its the first time Radis was hearing this.

Geas? Whats that?

To put it simply, youll be bound by contract. Its like a shackle thats made up of mana, and you can gain more power by taking the oath. But if you violate the oath, theres a high likelihood that youll lose your life.

Shocked, Radis blinked dazedly.

Really?

Yes, really! If you join the White Dragons, youll have to take an oath of loyalty to the Imperial Family, and the Emperor will basically hold your shackles and accept all his commands.

Yves shook his head.

If you decide to join the chivalric order, you wont be able to resist being bound to Geas. After that unreasonable shackle will be put on you, the Emperor will just drag you around for the rest of your life!

Aha.

Radis nodded.

I understand, Marquis.

Do you really understand?

Yes. Ill think about it properly.

Proooperly? Dont forget, this matter concerns you, okay? Think about yourself! You just gotta say no, never! Youll just be shackled by a weird contract and be forced to work for an old man whos desperate to wage a war!

But then, Radis got sidetracked. She gaped openly at him with her eyes going wide.

Marquis

Radis pointed at his vest.

Youre wearing green?
