Chapter 1 A New Journey
No matter how grand a celebration is, there is always a time to come to an end. With its end, the day saw a griffin flutter in the snow and land on the towers of the city of Farain.
"Welcome back, Lord Karen. β
The old butler saw that it was the countess who had come down from the griffin, and saluted.
"Where's Leah!?Is she still there!?"
Karen didn't bother to greet each other, she hurried into the castle and began to look for little Lori's traces.
"Father, where has Leah gone?"
At last she pushed open the door to the study, where the countess found Old Man Brown.
"Oh, it's Karen. Leah's words, she and her friends went skiing in the mountains of the north...... Wait a minute...... Didn't you see her?"
Although the war will cause pain, it can also bring each other's hearts closer, and after experiencing the war to quell the rebellion, there is no obvious sense of estrangement between the old duke and Karen.
"Damn...... I'm still a step late...... They're already on their way to the Duchy of Federo!"
Karene crumpled the letter paper in her hand and said anxiously.
"Duchy FederΓ³!?What is she going to do there!?"
The old duke frowned, and Leah said that she was going skiing, and the location was near Snow Lotus City. Today's little Lori is not a student of the Demon Martial Arts Academy, not to mention meeting one or two orcs, even if the orc army comes over, who will be unlucky, so he is very relieved to give her a small vacation. However, Old Man Brown never imagined that the girl would go to the notorious Duchy of Federal.
"She's gone to deal with Scarlet Clover, a giant association of vampires that has been active in the shadows since Ragnarok. β
The letter in Karen's hand was sent by Leah, and it reads like this:
[Dear Sister Karen,
To prevent the world from being destroyed. In order to maintain the peace of the world, we will carry out love and true justice. Your adorable and charming "goddess" sisters are about to travel to the Duchy of Federo to deal with the legendary Scarlet Clover.
By the way: because you've been hiding from me for a long time. So my father asked for it.
Love you Leah. γ
Little Lori walked very simply, and in order to retaliate that Karen knew that she was a goddess but kept it a secret, she stuffed the hot potato of Old Man Brown to the poor countess.
"Scarlet Clover...... I have some impressions of the name. Yes, some time ago there was a small-scale vampire riot in the kingdom, and their organization is named after that. But why should Leah deal with these people? What about our army? What about the knights of the kingdom!?"
Sure enough, the old man began to show signs of fried hair.
"Calm down and listen to me, father, actually, ......"
Karenn sighed, she understood that this was the case. I'm afraid I can't hide Lori's secret, at least, that's the case with Old Man Brown. So she decided to talk to her......
At the same time, far away on the border to the northwest of the kingdom, a horse-drawn carriage was slowly driving down the avenue covered with light snow.
"Oh, my dear father, must be angry right now. β
Leah watched as the exhaled moisture dissipated in the wind, and tightened her cotton clothes.
"Needless to say, if the two daughters say goodbye, I will also be angry. β
Voriv, who was sitting on the other side of the carriage, tightened the reins. Make sure the horse doesn't go into deep snow, then said.
"But what can I do? I have to do it, it's my responsibility. β
Leah shook her head helplessly.
"Goddess...... Honestly, you really froze the hell out of me, Leah. β
After spending the night with Isha. Little Lori decides to have a showdown with her best friends.
"Please forgive me for hiding it from you and Amy, but you know, I'm really scared. I'm afraid you'll alienate me because of this. But now I have to tell you this, because you are my friends. And I have the right to choose whether or not I want to fight with me against the evil gods. β
Leah smiled wryly. She decides to take Warriff and Amy with her to the Duchy of Federo, the kind of place where there are many sects and nine streams. A veteran thief or two is absolutely necessary.
"I understand your struggle. So don't take it to heart, it's me and I will hesitate. As for the choice - you see, the threat of the evil gods is facing the whole continent, and I don't think I can leave it alone. And thank you for that money, so that Mom and Uncle Thoma will be better. β
Warriff smiled.
"That's as it should be, I can't let you ignore your family because of your own business. If there's anything else you need, just let me know. β
Leah gave them a lot of money when she called Warriff and Amy, mainly to settle the daily lives of Aunt Aina and Uncle Thoma, and they needed some material help without the thief siblings by their side.
"Hmm...... Then I want Leah's fat time!Please!"
So the fat thief folded his hands together and pleaded.
"Brother-!!"
"Hey...... My sister's fat time...... Melti wants it too!"
After a noise in the carport, the two girls came out one after another, looking at the two in front of them with resentful or spring-like eyes.
"Ha ......"
So Leah sighed, she knew it was going to be like this from the moment she brought Warriff......
A few days later, they arrived at Gronot, the royal capital of the Duchy of Federro.
Leah walks down the street in a cloak with a hood, and considering that the vampire knows her appearance, the maiden thinks it is necessary to hide her face. While it makes you look like a geek, luckily the city seems to be very "popular" with such outfits.
"The environment here is worse than I thought it would be. β
Little Lori looked around and saw the gutters filled with the smell of blood and pungent potion waste, the violent groups and poor people lying in the shadows of the streets, and the aristocrats who drove their carriages like racing cars and roamed the streets with gold and silver.
"But there's no better place for vampires. β
Warriff snorted, and there were all sorts of unpleasant smells in the air here.
"Hey, you look like outsiders, and you're ...... Woman ......"
Soon, trouble came to the door. A gang of street thugs blocked the way.
[What should I do?]
Leah frowned, although it could be solved by force, but she didn't know if there were vampires here, maybe these people in front of her were a group of blood slaves.
"Let me do it. β
However, Warriff stopped the girl who was about to do it. He walked up to the leader and put his palm on the other's shoulder.
Leah noticed that the fat thief was whispering something in the other person's ear, and a look of fear appeared on the man's face.
"You're amazing. β
Seeing those people leaving, Leah said in heartfelt admiration.
"It's nothing, it's the same in the slums of any country, just let them know who is strong. β
Vorif tossed the money bag in his hand, which he had just slipped from the big man's arms.
"According to the plan, Sister Eve, they should be in the tavern on the east side. β
Leah looked at the map that Shaunia had sent her through the carrier pigeons, which indicated the expected meeting point. (To be continued.) )
