1. Portrait of a rose with a rose

Although the outskirts of the empire were desolate, and most of the people you could see were farmers who farmed on the outskirts of the city, this quiet and peaceful place was also a sacred place for the nobles to relax.

Therefore, basically the nobles who have money and strength will buy a house on the outskirts of the city to live in. Of course, this does not mean that they have always lived here, and most of the noble nobles naturally do not want to live in such an inconvenient suburb for a long time.

Therefore, it is only used for vacation.

So, in the eyes of the peasants who cultivate, this pile of luxurious mansions is not surprising.

None of them are surprising.

"Ah, Lim, is that you?"

The girl standing in front of the huge portrait was looking at the picture frame with great interest, it was a realistic painting of blue roses, although the roses did not look as realistic as those painted by first-class masters, but the girl looked at the picture frame as if she were looking at the treasure she had.

Sensing movement behind her, the girl turned around, and what was not befitting the flowing blonde hair was a rose in her ear.

The blue rose, like the one in the frame, but she was withered, so withered that even the flowers were black-edged. This is not an ornament that should be used as decoration at all.

"It's the uniform of that academy. The girl spun around as she spoke, "How's it going, isn't it pretty?"

"Pretty ......"

The girl named Lim is, no, not exactly a girl, because she has a pair of ears on her head that are the same color as her hair, but they belong to animals. If you look closely, behind her, a pair of big fluffy tails are constantly flicking because of excitement.

"Today, Lord Arya also has the floral fragrance of roses......

Lim said as she leaned over to the girl's skirt and sniffed, seeming that she preferred the person in the dress to the person in the clothes.

"It smells so good. ”

"I'm asking if you're pretty. ”

"Beautiful! Anything that's Arya-sama is the most beautiful!" Riem's big tail flicked.

"This is the uniform of that academy, although the identity issue has wasted a lot of effort, but it has finally been hidden. I remember that the person I asked for was also from Lim's people, right?"

"Well, that's an old man in the clan. Lim nodded, "He's been in the Empire for a long time, and he's managed to get a knighthood, so there's absolutely no problem with Lord Arya's identity." Mistress Arya......"

"Well, good. Lim is the most reliable. ”

"......" Lim didn't seem to be able to use this kind of praise for Cheng DΓΉ, but lowered her head and leaned over.

"Hey...... Got it. ”

Arya sighed and stroked Lim's furry ears with her hands, while Lim squinted her eyes and enjoyed it with a slight gasp.

"Now, I can finally move forward a little. Alia, caressing Lim, turned her gaze back to the frame, and in her eyes, the rose in the frame seemed to have a different meaning.

"Yesterday, the last wave of search forces also left, and now the facts that have been made public have become true. Finally, you can enter the empire without any worries. ”

"Mistress Arya...... Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. Lim raised his head, "Although the number of our orcs is small, those soldiers who have a layer of skin are not our opponents at all. Although the patriarchs of the various clans are now prejudiced against each other, they all trust Lord Arya without exception, so they ......"

β€œ...... The battlefield is not about power. Arya let go of Lim's hand, "No matter how great your strength is, it is only the power of a few people combined, but there are a huge number of mages in the human race. ”

β€œ...... It doesn't matter! that white-eyed wolf has quite a few shamans among his people!"

"Not enough, too little...... Too little. ”

"The Three-Legged Cat's men are basically assassins, and these are just the right way to solve the ...... magicians"

"That's why I said it's too little!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Arya-sama. ”

Startled, Lim hurriedly lowered her head, and her big tail stood up because she was frightened.

"Sorry...... It's me who gets excited. Fortunately, Arya quickly calmed down and returned to her original appearance, "Lim, the fight between humans is not just a fight with claws and fists, as you might think. It's something more needed. War is not just a battle to kill, there is more, more things. I'm all preparing for that. ”

"Yes...... Mistress Arya. Lim's little boots kept rubbing against the ground, "All of our orcs are expecting you to lead us, this is definitely not a lie, we never lie!"

"I know...... That's why I don't want you to sacrifice in vain. "So I'm getting ready, and it's almost time, Lim, and tell Kate to come to me in the evening." Very important thing. ”

At night...... Very important thing......

"Well, okay. Lim's big tail shrugged down, and she clearly understood what Arya meant.

Now, I shouldn't be here.

However, she is not dissatisfied, on the contrary, she is now a little angry.

"It's the three-legged cat again......"

Lim muttered as she gently closed the door, looking at the figure of Alia, whose aura was diametrically opposed to just now, hidden by the door.

Eating, drinking, and having fun along the way, Lilith and her party returned to the Western Continent with all kinds of relaxed moods, and soon paid the bill for this trip.

The first to bear the brunt of it was Dean Frey.

As soon as she got off the boat, Dean Frey was surrounded by a large number of tutors and "escorted" to the academy. The reason is simple.

How can there be a dean who has put all the things of the academy aside and gone directly to the other side of the mainland to play! Since he is the dean, he has to take responsibility well!

As soon as Anne got off the boat, she hurriedly made a lame excuse to leave, but Lilith already knew very well why Sister Anne was leaving. This can also be regarded as a bonus of this trip.

Next...... It's me.

Although she wants to say that she is an adult, Lilith still has to admit that she has no way to deal with men, especially a man who has done certain things and caused an indelible impression on her for life.

So Jace, you're looking for yourself too quickly, why do you have to wait as you get off the boat?

"Lilith. ”

"Yes!" Lilith, who was a little nervous, thought for a moment, and then stood decisively beside Lucifer.

It's really touching to have a demon who is obedient and always thinks about himself.

"I'm sorry!"

Ay?

"I'm so sorry. Jace honestly bowed his head, to be honest, it is basically impossible for a nobleman to bow his head to a commoner, but Jace is not this kind of nobleman.

So, that's why I and him can be friends.

"I'm very sorry. I was bewitched by the devil to do that kind of thing. ”

β€œ...... Human, I'm not going to ** you do that kind of thing. Lucifer's expression was helpless.

"Anyway, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have taken your photo......"

"Ahhhh ”

Lilith hurriedly exclaimed, "I don't remember anything, like it was all my pictures, I don't remember anything." ”

"Thank you. ”

Jace, who was forgiven, had a much more cheerful expression, could it be that during the days when he went out happily, Jace had been thinking about this matter?

Which aristocrat should think about this?

"That...... About the next week. Forgiven Jace began to squirm again, and looked even more nervous than before, "Actually, I ...... I don't know ......."

No, I don't!

"Store manager!"

The voice of the maid downstairs interrupted Jace's squirming words.

"Shop manager, come down for a moment, there is ...... Yes...... There's a cat who wants to apply for a maid!"
