Chapter 229 - 229 Return to the Estate



While everyone was eating the food he cooked, Aethelwolf was checking the status of the soldiers through his observation skills. He noticed that after eating his food, the rate of their recovery was increasing rapidly and it even reached the point that their physical injuries were healing at a discernible speed.

“My injuries are almost gone! What’s happening?!”

“I don’t feel pain anymore! What is this!?”

The soldiers were shocked by the changes happening in their bodies. The wounds on their bodies were rapidly healing and even those with internal injuries no longer felt so much pain.

“Is it because of this meat?” Someone muttered in confusion. His words immediately made the crowd look at the delicious meat on their plates.

“I feel so much better after eating this meat! Maybe Sir Aethelwolf used medicinal herbs to season the mear!”

Everyone couldn’t help but stare at the young man who was now feeding a little girl. He had a sweet smile on his face as he rubbed off the stain at the corner of Olivia’s lips.

The faces of the soldiers turned warm as they looked at him. Aethelwolf even used some precious medicinal herbs to season the meat that he cooked for them. He must have done it on purpose knowing that all of them were covered in injuries. He was truly a kind person.

.....

“Thank you, Sir Aethelwolf!”

“Thank you, Sir Aethelwolf!”

“Thank you, Miss Aenwyn!”

At this moment, the soldiers already knew the name of the elven woman who was always beside Aethelwolf. She could already speak some words of the human language and she had even interacted with the injured soldier when she was in the infirmary. Just that, everyone wants to call her Frost Queen because of her ice-cold temperament.

Aenwyn still had an expressionless face, but there was a ripple in her eyes, and Aethelwolf who was feeding Olivia was surprised by their heartfelt words. He turned his head to them and smiled gently. “It’s just a small matter compared to the sacrifices that you guys made for our Leone Empire.” He said.

Some soldiers sobbed when they heard his words. They then continued eating while crying in silence.

A few days later, Ramiel’s army arrived at the main entrance of Lion City. They were warmly received by Duke Baron and a few other Legion Commanders. Prince Renz and Prince Calvin were also there to receive them.

Duke Baron and Ramiel shook hands.

“It’s good to see you again, Sir Ramiel!” Duke Baron laughed heartily as he patted Ramiel’s shoulder.

“Likewise.” Ramiel smiled.

Prince Renz walked slowly toward Aethelwolf and smiled at him. “Sir Aethelwolf, how are you?”

Aethelwolf was now carrying Olivia who was soundly sleeping in his arms. He looked at the first prince and replied. “I’m fine, Your Highness. What about you guys here?”

“We’re good. We are now preparing for the funeral of our fallen comrades. I was hoping that you would attend the event, Sir Aethelwolf.” Prince Renz muttered.

Aethelwolf nodded his head. “I will be there. Just send someone to notify me about the date and venue later.”

“Alright.” Prince Renz wanted to say a few more things, but he noticed that Aethelwolf seemed to be in a hurry to leave.

“If there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave first, Your Highness. I still have to bring my daughter back home.” Aethelwolf muttered apologetically to the prince.

“Sure! See you soon, Sir Aethelwolf.” Prince Renz smiled at him. Behind the first prince, Prince Calvin cupped his fists to Aethelwolf.

Aethelwolf then turned his gaze to Ramiel and said. “Ramiel, we’ll go back home first. You can stay here and deal with your matters.”

Ramiel nodded his head in acknowledgment. “Yes, Sir Aethelwolf.”

After getting his reply, Aethelwolf left with Aenwyn and Einar.

Soon, they arrived at the Lassiter Household’s estate and they were welcomed by Anton Lassiter and the others.

“Are you guys alright? I heard from Miss Julie that you guys were on the battlefield. Everyone was worried about your safety.” Anton said as he looked at Aethelwolf’s group. He had experienced the harshness of war and the battle he experienced was nothing compared to what Aethelwolf and the others had been through. According to Julie Irish, the main army was at war against the Ford Empire and Dustin Empire. Just from this alone, he could already imagine the dangers that they had faced.

“Julie? She came here?” Aethelwolf stared at Anton. ‘She must have been here to tell me about the news related to Chris Maynard. I wonder if that guy is still alive...’ He thought.

Anton nodded his head as he replied. “Yes. Miss Julie came here a few days ago and she was even looking for you. Do you want me to send someone to inform her of your return?”

Hearing this, Aethelwolf shook his head. “There is no need for that. She will be here soon.” He said. He knew that Julie Irish had already received the news about their arrival since the Urgel Household has a strong sphere of influence.

“Alright. You should take Olivia to her room first.” Anton said as she looked at the sleeping Olivia in his arms.

Aethelwolf chuckled and nodded his head. “We’ll talk later.”

The evening arrived, and just like what Aethelwolf said, Julie Irish came to visit them.

She was personally received by Hyancinth.

At this moment, Hyacinth was already a Level 2 Esper. After she had eaten the Awakening Pellet, she was taking the advancing pills that Aethelwolf gave them. This increased her lever by one in such a short period of time! She never would have thought that she would one day become an Esper and she was even a Level 2 Esper now!

Of course, because of the Concealing Rune that Aethelwolf gave her, Julie Irish didn’t notice anything abnormal about Hyacinth. She just thought that she was a skilled servant under Aethelwolf. After all, Hyacinth was the person in charge of almost all the businesses of the Lassiter Household. Even in her Urgel Household, a talent like her would be valued highly.

“Miss Julie, Sir Aethelwolf is waiting for you in his study.” Hyacinth said as she bowed to Julie Irish.

“Alright. Take me there.” Julie replied calmly.

Hyacinth nodded her head and brought her to Aethelwolf’s study.

“We’re here. You may enter, Miss Julie.” Hyacinth opened the door after knocking on it gently.

“Thanks.” Julie Irish said to her before she entered.

Upon entering, she saw Aethelwolf seated on his chair. There was an elven woman standing at his side, pouring tea into the two empty cups on the table.

“You’re here. Take your seat.” Aethelwolf said as he looked at Julie Irish.

Julie took her eyes off Aenwyn and sat down opposite Aethelwolf. She then glanced at him up and down before she asked. “You went to Vale City to join the army, right?”

Aethelwolf didn’t answer her right away. He took a cup filled with tea and handed it to Julie. He then muttered. “Yes and no.”

Julie Irish frowned when she heard this. “What do you mean?”

“I indeed went to Vale City, but I didn’t join the army. I only offered them some pointers and help them treat the injured soldiers.” Aethelwolf answered calmly before taking a light sip of his tea.

“I see. Anyway, I came here to tell you some news about Chris Maynard.” Julie Irish quickly changed the subject lest the other party might misunderstand her.

“I’m listening.”

“Chris Maynard is still alive. He is currently locked up inside the Maynard Household’s prison. According to the spies I sent there, the prison is heavily guarded to prevent the news about Enrique’s death from spreading. What do you plan to do now?” Julie Irish asked. She then grabbed her tea cup and took a small sip. ‘Good tea.’ She thought to herself. This tea was even better than the ones they had in their estate. ‘I’ll ask for some tea leaves from him...’ She muttered in her heart.

Aethelwolf heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that Chris Maynard was still alive. “That’s good to hear. I’ll send a rescue party to the Maynard Household. As long as we have him, the truth about Enrique’s death would soon come to light. I just want the true perpetrators behind this to be punished. If the Maynard Household makes things difficult for us, I don’t mind punishing them a bit!” He muttered coldly.

“Just tell me if you need me to do something.” Julie Irish said right away. As an ally of the Lassiter Household, the Urgel Household was willing to help them.

“I’ll tell you the details soon. For now, let’s wait until the funeral is over.” Aethelwolf leaned on his chair as he tapped his fingers on the table.
