Volume 8 Chapter 10: Peaceful Days? 

While the situation at the Rustchil Duchy had become even more ambiguous, Alfia sighed deeply, "Hah." 

"Aww, what's the matter? Are you feeling lonely?" Noticing that deep sigh, Scarlet nudged the elf's back. That only caused the princess to scoff, "What are you talking about? I'm just basking in the fact that these days have been peaceful."

"Can you really call it peaceful with those two?" Scarlet retorted as she pointed at one Herrick and Melor. Those two were the definition of what rowdy was. No way could these days be peaceful with the two being there. 

"..." Point taken. That only caused Scarlet to grin, "Don't kid yourself. Without him here, it doesn't feel the same." The others may not say it, but they were missing Keith. 

"I-" "I miss him as well. It's really different without him here." Scarlet wasn't going to deny it. The mansion was much brighter with him. 

"Did they say when they were going to return?" The two had been gone for quite some time now. However, Diana raised a bag in the air yesterday and said that Keith had sent this over for them to try. 

The Ly Mangos were positively delicious. However, the mangoes were incredibly sour. I'm definitely going to talk to him about it. 

"If Keith had sent the bags over, he should be returning soon," Gabriel muttered. Keith knew his priorities; that meant the situation with the Rustchil family was finished. 

"True." Alfia and Scarlet chuckled. 

"Carolyn." Everyone turned around and noticed that there was Alger. It was surprising.

 

"Hello, Alger. Why are you here?" Carolyn got up and was a little surprised. 

"Why can't I be here? I'm meeting with my girlfriend." Alger grinned as he stared at her.

"What?!"

    

Alfia and Scarlet looked at one another. What occurred in this short time frame?!

...

"Father, will you two be alright by yourself?" Krystal was still worried. She wanted to stay at home for a little longer. 

Edmund shook his head, "We'll be fine. Everything is finished now." The news about him being a traitor was going to vanish. It would probably take tomorrow. 

"But-"

"I can't have you miss classes." The two were still students. And the break hadn't even come yet, "You guys have the midterms as well." Being a student at the academy before, he knew about everything. 

 

"…Understood." Krystal wasn't going to say anything else.

 

Edmund, "Also, I want you to take this." He handed something over to him. 

"Hmm? It's a sword." A one-handed sword. On the blade's hilt was a wolf, the emblem of the Rustchil family.

"Take this sword with you. Use it to protect the people you care about." Edmund smiled.

 

"Mmhmm!" Krystal stared down and held it tight to his body.

 

Now, it was time for Keith.

 

"Thank you for watching over me."

 

"We should be the ones saying that. You have been helping us these last few days." Violet chuckled. What was he saying? Rodrick would probably become the head if the child didn't join in. 

"Keith, the Rustchil Household will forever be in your debt." Edmund bowed. 

However, Keith waved his hand, "Please don't bow your head like this. I only did it because Krystal needed help." That was the only reason why he headed here. 

"..." Krystal looked away from him. 

"If you ever need our assistance, the Rustchil will aid you."

 

"Thank you. But you should focus on that first." Edmund nodded to the child's words. Find the true culprit behind all of this. That was something they had to do; leaving someone there was asking for more problems. 

  

"Mmhmm, I will tell you about it as well." Edmund had a hunch there was something off about all of this. And this may go over to him as well.

 

"Thank you." The two were going to enter the carriage. It was not the grand carriage they had come on before; this was the Rustchil carriage. It was time to show everyone the Rustchil would not be messed with. 

But there was one more thing that startled them.

 

"Are you coming along with us, Grandpa Cedric?" Cedric entered the carriage along with them. 

 

"No, I will be going to the capital first. There's something I need to do." Cedric took a deep sigh as he said this. But that caused Keith and Krystal to look at one another.

"Relax, I won't be bothering the two of you." Cedric sighed as he sat down. And that was how they had left the grand duchy.

 

"Krystal, are you going to take a nap again?" Keith grinned. But that caused Krystal to scoff, "I'm not a child."

 

"Well, I'm going to take a nap," Keith closed his eyes.

 

“…”

"You'll probably never beat him in a battle of words, Little Gem." Cedric shook his head. This man could brute force the damn thing down.

 

"…" Krystal took a deep sigh as she looked at Cedric, "But Grandpa, you have been eating at the cart?" This was new to her. 

"Mmhmm."

"Then why haven't I seen you eating there?" She should have spotted him there.

 

"Hmm? Have you been going there as well, Little Gem?"

 

"No, I work there."

 

Cedric froze, "…You work there?"

 

"Yes, Keith makes me take orders."

 

"…" Cedric's expression was indescribable. There was this one second of absolute silence before the man grabbed Keith by the collar!

 

"How dare you, you stinking brat!"

 

"What?!" Keith actually went to sleep and was shaken by the sudden tug.

 

"How dare you use my daughter as a waitress!"

 

"I thought she was a good waitress!" Keith tried to move his hand away. But that only caused Cedric to shake him even more!

 

"I will end you!"

 

"Grandfather, please calm down!" Krystal grabbed Keith's hand, trying to move his hand away. But the old man continued to shake him, "How dare you! How dare you! How dare you!"
