Chapter 144 - Departure(3)
"What are the royal troops doing here ?!" One of the lower class mercenaries shouted in surprise. The shout was also heard by everyone, making them squint.
"Fuck! He's right! What the hell! " Other mercenaries members responded with complaints.
On the other hand, when Clementine heard this, her expression froze. Her movements stopped while still holding Desmond's hand.
That can't be, though Clementine inwardly. She let go of Desmond's hand and slowly moved her head.
Right after her sight stopped at the royal army, she saw one of the people she was very familiar with was riding towards her.
"That's father!" Diana screamed when she saw a familiar face.
Diana's screams also caught everyone's attention; they looked at Diana for a moment and looked back at the royal troops.
"That's impossible, right? Asked one of the mercenaries awkwardly. He looks at his friends only to find they share the same hunch.
The cavalry stopped right in front of them, revealing the royal coat of arms affixed to their pilgrimage clothes.
The horse troops then scattered and surrounded everyone who was in Desmond's house.
This kind of behavior naturally made the entire Desmond family offended, especially Desmond and Leona.
Hmm... They just came and immediately surrounded my house like a criminal, Desmond thought inwardly. He also prepares his spell while glancing at his maids.
Meanwhile, as Leona looked at this, her expression turned gloomy. She steps forward and stands between her husband and son. She also stood up straight while looking at this royal army coldly.
Unconsciously, Leona also gave off her cold aura, which made everyone feel chills all of a sudden. They automatically looked at Leona.
When Bastian saw this, he glanced at his son and found his expression the same as his wife's.
Bastian sighs; this will be troublesome. He then stood beside his wife but with his shoulders dropped a little.
After finishing setting up a formation, the royal troops lowered their weapons and saluted.
"Guardian Vesta is here!" all the royal troops shouted, infuriating the mercenaries who are in the closest position.
Right after the royal troops shouted, the formation on the outside opened. In contrast to their warrior armor, a man in armor that looked graceful and charming was advancing on his horse.
"Father!" a shout rang out from the direction of Desmond's house.
This shout seemed to make the Guardian froze; he then took off his helmet only to see his daughter running towards him.
The shouts from Diana made Leona and Bastian froze. She then glanced at Clementine and found her head down while covering her entire face with a fan.
"Ah, my princess." Meanwhile, Vesta immediately got off his horse and caught Diana, who threw herself at him. "Ugh, you are heavy, my princess."
This sight left the royal troops speechless. Since the girl hugged by their Guardian wasn't a little girl anymore, she had already grown up! It could even be said to be a perfect adult woman!
Some of the royal troops looked at this with envy. Having a daughter who loves you is fortunate indeed. But if the daughter's loves still did not change even after growing up, that is a great thing!
Diana also immediately let go of her embrace, "Father's body hurts!" she sticks out the tip of her tongue while holding her hips.
This father-daughter interaction prompted people to immediately glance at Clementine, the Guardian's own wife.
"Dear, what are you doing here!" Clementine came over to her husband, covering her face, which looked flushed.
Clementine added, "I told you, I only escorted Diana, and Diana also had a hired bodyguard."
Vesta, who was smiling before, shifted his attention at his wife, looked at her with confusion, "What do you mean? I'm here on the orders of former Grandmaster Weston."
He then saw Leona and Bastian approaching him. At first, he wanted to smile and greet them politely, but upon seeing Leona's gloomy expression and cold aura emitted her senses, he then came to realize.
"Hey, get off your horses and cancel this formation!" he turned and immediately shouted, commanding his troops.
"Yes, Guardian!" all the royal troops who had been standing like statues, waiting for Vesta's order, immediately executed the order.
* rumble * * rumble *
In fact, their movements were very synchronous, causing the ground to shake. And in a matter of minutes, all the formations were shattered, and now the troops positioned themselves in a line behind Vesta.
Vesta then turned around only to see Leona's gloomy and cold expression staring at him angrily. "Forgive the impoliteness of my troops earlier, Witch Master Leona." He smiled wryly, scratching his head.
The royal troops were shocked to hear the words of the Guardian. For the first time, they saw their Guardian apologize and act awkwardly. But what really took them by surprise was that this house was the home of a famous Witch Master Leona!
And it was only natural if the Witch Master were angry with how they act in her house and how they surrounded this house! They become ashamed of themselves.
Leona was silent, stared at Vesta before smiling faintly, "That's fine, Guardian Vesta and also." He and Bastian then slightly lowered their heads, "Greeting Guardian." After saying greeted him, Leona glanced at her friend.
Seeing Leona's gaze, Clementine immediately spoke, "Friend, I didn't mean to hide--"
But Leona immediately interrupted her words, "- I know, I just forgot to ask in detail, right?" she smiled, but her smile seemed unfriendly.
"Ah," Seeing this, Clementine knew that her friend was currently angry; I just made up with her son, and now I'm actually causing trouble with her, Clementine pondered inwardly.
Feeling that his wife and Leona had finished talking, Vesta then approached Leona and Bastian, "I am with my troops that will escort your son on the way to the academy."
He paused for a moment, trying to see their surprised expressions but failed as they just stared at him calmly.
Vesta coughed, "As the former Grandmaster Weston promised, your son should have guards escorting him. and the guards usually were obtained from the guild.
"Because it so happened that the king also ordered me to keep an eye on this route, I therefore also accepted a request from former Grandmaster Weston."
He then glanced at the mercenaries gathered in the courtyard. "But it looks like you also have personally hired the mercenaries."

....
After that, he glanced at everyone around him only to realized that his daughter's appearance looked like she was being beaten up. "What happens, my princess?" he immediately became worried and hold Diana's hands.
He remembered vividly that before his wife and daughter departed, his daughter was dressed in a very graceful and charming dress, but seeing her right now ...
He immediately glanced at his wife and saw her sigh, "She entered Desmond's room and was accidentally hit by his spell attack because Desmond was trying a new spell."
Hearing this, Vesta immediately became suspicious. "Desmond?" he saw his wife pointing at the boy who had long hair and magenta eyes. "Is that you?"
Seeing this, Desmond immediately received pressure. This feeling is the same as when receiving direct pressure from the king at his party. "Yes, please don't just blame me, as she said, Dian -"
But Vesta immediately interrupted Desmond's words, "- Enough speaking, a man proves it by fists." Vesta then approaches Desmond only to find the Witch Master's husband blocking his way.
"Sorry Guardian, but he just trained with my wife and me. Making his condition now very tired." Bastian replied with a smile, but it was seen that he was clenching his fists.
Even if he behaves like seemed like he does not care about family, but in the end, he is still my son !! Snapped Bastian inwardly. Seeing that this Guardian did not accept his son's explanation and wanted to immediately use violence made him angry.
"Hooh?" Vesta looked down at Bastian; he then glanced at the boy and saw that his condition was perfect, "Are you sure of your judgment?" Vesta's tone sounded mocking, making Bastian grit his teeth.
"Of course!" Bastian answered in a high tone, this time looking directly into the Guardian's eyes.
"Good, I like your spirit; how about you join my special troops?" Vesta was so satisfied seeing the fighting spirit in Bastian's eyes, he laughed as he offered this proposal as if this was a trifle
This made all the royal troops brought by Vesta dumbfounded; they looked at Bastian once again carefully and did not find anything special about him.
They want to argue, but they know it's against orders. Therefore they could only look at Bastian enviously.
"No, and thanks for the offer Guardian. I already said I want to take a break from any activities related to politics or activities about the kingdom." Without thinking further, Bastian immediately refused, make Leona, who was watching from a distance, smile with satisfaction.
