Chapter 159


    Starting with the kneeling knights, everyone around him began to kneel.


    Diana and Yaiger were the only ones standing.


    Turning his head, Lord Barbatos slowly looked around.


    Ripped doors, shivering soldiers and knights, crying Diana.


    In the end, Lord''s gaze headed toward Yaiger, who was looking at him with aplex expression.


    "Long time no see, Elder brother."


    Its. been a while."


    "I didn''t expect to see your face as soon as I woke up. You never came to my room while I was down. What brings you here today?"


    The way he spoke was calm, but everyone there quickly noticed that there was anger in his words.


    Yaiger, whose expression gradually distorted, answered.


    "We were informed that the intruders had entered the family''s mansion."


    "Intruders? Are you talking about the people who woke me up? Hahaha, you must have had a big misunderstanding. There are no intruders here. Rather, they are the benefactors of the family."


    The corners of Lord''s mouth went up as he looked inside the room.


    "I know there''s been a little misunderstanding. Butwhy is Brother inmand of the troops? When I''m down, without Mother''s permission you cant move the troops. Isnt that the rule of the family?"


    Yaiger and his men trembled.


    It was very sensitive to move troops within the family.


    In some cases, it was a situation that could be considered treason.


    Yaiger knew what he had done.


    But the emotions he was feeling were anger and resentment, not regret.


    "How the hell did you wake up? How?!"


    "Haha! I don''t know how either. The thing thats certain is, the little Griffins and the hornless man woke me up."


    "They"


    "But you haven''t answered my question yet. Brother, on whose permission did you move the troops?"


    When asked by the Lord, Yaiger didn''t answer.


    He only sent a silent reply through his zing eyes.


    A pity passed by the eyes of the Lord who saw the scene for a moment.


    However, soon the emotion disappeared and only the cold energy was filled.


    "As of this time, all soldiers should return to their respective positions. Disarm the knights who caused the disturbance and stand by with the soldiers. And Yaiger, who led the disturbance should be locked in the room until further instructions were given, and the entry of outsiders should be thoroughly restricted!"


    "I obey the Lord."


    "I obey the Lord."


    The knights and soldiers who followed Yaiger quickly scattered.


    Knights following Diana came forward and surrounded Yaiger and his men.


    Yaiger went out of the room with the knights with a resigned look.


    Lord Barbatos and Diana looked at the back with a bitter look.


    "Ummm


    The Lord staggered with a short groan.


    Diana asked anxiously, quickly helping him.


    The remaining servants followed her and supported the Lord.


    Son.What happened?


    Lord, are you all right?


    Im fine, mother. As soon as I woke up, I just felt a little dizzy. Just a little rest I''ll be fine."


    The Lord fainted in his mother''s warm embrace after a very long time.


    POKE POKE POKE POKE


    I slowly opened my eyes.


    The first thing I noticed was the morning sun that filled the window.


    Biip? Biip!


    Biip Biip!


    The criminals who woke me up cried as if they were happy to see that I had opened my eyes.


    Iughed with half-closed eyes.


    I lifted my hands and stroked the cute criminals.


    "Grify, Finny! Did you both sleep well?"


    Biip Biip!


    Biip Biip!


    The little griffins understood my words and replied vigorously.


    When I was enjoying thenguor while stroking their soft hairs, a low and thick voice came from the side.


    You''re up?


    What the! Ah Andras?


    I raised myself half-reflexively, startled.


    Thanks to this, the baby Griffins on my chest moved here and there in surprise.


    Next to the bed, Andras was giggling while sitting in the chair.


    I looked at him with an unfair look, as if I had been teased a little.


    "Hahaha. I''m sorry. I didn''t mean to make fun of Sihyeon. I stayed upte and must have also fallen asleep here."


    "Uhh


    As the drowsy sleep disappeared a little, I naturally remembered what happened at dawn.


    Come to think of it, I seeded in waking up the Lord, right?


    He woke up but copsed again right away.


    What happened?


    "It was only the aftereffects of lying down for a long time that he copsed, and the symptoms of the incurable disease disappeared cleanly."


    Andras, who read my expression, cleared up what I was curious about.


    I nodded with a slightly nk look.


    "But where are we? I remember being escorted at dawn. I don''t think this is the ce where we used to stay."


    "This room is closest to where Godmother Diana stays. Godmother designated this ce herself just in case we were anxious."


    "Oh! Is that so?"


    No wonder, from the bed to the decoration of the room, it felt more colorful and luxurious than the original guest room.


    Knock, knock.


    Sir. Are you up?


    Feeling the presence of people talking in the room, the servant who was waiting outside the room called.


    If you don''t mind, can Ie inside for a minute?


    "Yes, pleasee in.


    When our permission was given, a male servant in the butler''s costume came in and bowed politely.


    "I''m sorry while you''re resting. Madame Godmother ordered me to check your condition, so I took the liberty of visiting you. Is there any inconvenience or need?


    "I''m fine."


    "Me too."


    "If you need anything, please feel free to let me know. And Madame Godmother has invited you two to breakfast. She also said you dont have to strain yourself and cane visit her when you arefortable."


    "Sihyeon, what do you want to do?"


    "Ummm"


    My honest mind wanted to go back to the cozy bed and pet the baby griffins, but as a guest, I couldn''t refuse the invitation and bezy.


    I forced myself up with a slightly reluctant face.


    I didnt want to meet her in the attire I was wearing, so I organized my messy hair and changed into new clothes.


    After getting ready, we put the baby griffins in the basket and went out of the room, escorted by knights and soldiers who were guarding the room, and headed to the ce where Godmother Diana was.


    Knock, knock, knock.


    "Madame Godmother, Ive bought the guests."


    Ah! Come on in!


    As soon as the door opened, Godmother Diana was the first toe out and greet us.


    Her expression was full of delight.


    "How was the room? Was there any inconvenience yesterday?"


    "Thanks to your consideration, I had a good rest."


    "I was fine, too."


    "I was worried that you might be worried about what happened in the early morning. I''m so d."


    She made eye contact as she sped our hands one after another.


    Through her intimate actions that are hard to show to outsiders, we could see how much she recognized us.


    "Come on in. Inside, my son is waiting for you."


    Godmother Diana led us hand in hand with a smile.


    When she opened the door of the inner bedroom, I saw the figure of Lord Barbatos.


    He was half-stretched on the bed, examining the thick papers, and beside him, the therapist was looking anxiously at him.


    Lord Barbatos, who saw us, greeted us with a bright expression,


    "Oh! The saviors of my life are here!"


    "I Greet the Lord of Barbatos"


    "I Gre"


    "Ah! Stop with those bothersome greetings. I''m the one who should be greeting you."


    He stopped us from being polite with a slightly embarrassed smile.


    And he beckoned us toe closer.


    Our slightly hesitant back was gently pushed by Godmother Diana.


    I and Andras settled in a chair near the bed, and Godmother Diana sat across the bed.


    "First of all. Thank you very much. I wouldn''t have gotten up like this if it wasn''t for you guys and I would have never seen mother again. You''re a benefactor of the Barbatos family as well as me."


    He bowed humbly while sincerely thanking us.


    "Did you say your name wasLimSihyeon?"


    "Yes, Lord."


    "It was a very interesting experience. I felt the energy of you and the Griffins while I''ve been dreaming endlessly. Maybe if you were a littlete, I would have fallen into an eternal sleep."


    Lord Barbatos closed his eyes tightly as if imagining it.


    His face, when he opened his eyes again, was full of curiosity and interest toward me.


    "How on earth did you wake me up? No, how did the griffins hatch in the first ce? We''ve been looking for a way in the family, and we haven''t even found a clue!"


    "Ah, my lord! Don''t get too excited, then you might fall down again."


    The therapist next to him shouted, surprised by the Lord''s behavior.


    But the Lord kept his eyes on me and waited for my answer.


    "I don''t think I can exin exactly how I woke you up. It was so chaotic back then that I couldn''t even remember what I did."


    "Hmm Is that so?"


    The way he looked at me became mysterious.


    He seemed to be asking if I was hiding anything.


    But soon the eyes were covered withughter.


    "Hahaha! Does that mean, you identally solved a problem that is like our family''s long-cherished desire? Hahaha!"


    "Ahhh, my lord! You can''tugh so loud!"


    Once again, the therapist was surprised and tried to calm him.


    After barely stoppingughing, Lord smiled and shook the papers in his hand.


    "Actually, I was reading the information about you. Honestly, it''s hard to believe that you woke me up, but all the things written here are even more unbelievable. Coming from another worldYakumsFairiesand Griffins."


    Maybe because he was unconscious for a long time, he never seemed to have heard about me.


    It''s hard to say with my own mouth, but Im a hot topic in the demon world these days.


    Lord Barbatos put the papers in his hand aside and continued his words.


    "It doesn''t really matter what kind of person you are. The fact that you saved me is the truth and that doesn''t change. Once again, thank you."


    Lord Barbatos bowed his head as low as he could in his bed.


    Surprised by his unexpected behavior, I bowed my head as well.


    "Sihyeon, do you want anything from me? I''ll give you as much as I can."


    He asked me what I wanted with a look of ease.


    I answered the question right away because the reason foring here was clear.


    I want to take care of these little griffins. Not here, but on the farm where I''m working.


    "You mean the farm where you''re raising the yakums?"


    "Yes!"


    "Hmm"


    Lord Barbatos was lost in thought for a while.


    After stroking his chin with his hand for a while, he opened his mouth with a very careful look.


    "I think you must have known by now. What does Griffin mean to the Barbatos family?"


    "Yes, I know."


    "It''s true that I want to hold you back, frankly, whether you''re a benefactor or not. If I let you go with Griffins, it would be like exposing our family''s weaknesses."


    What!?


    I swallowed my dry mouth with a slightly nervous look.


    Lord Barbatos looked at my expression for a moment and smiled.


    "Don''t make that face. I just thought about it."


    "Then"


    "There will be opposition from the elders of the family and the Vassals, but I''ll let you do so under my authority. I''ll let you take these kids."


    Thank you! Lord!


    Instead!.I leave them to you because we''re not ready to raise Griffins yet. Promise me that you will help us if we are ready someday. Then I''ll let you go without hesitation."


    Lord Barbatos asked me with a serious look on his face.


    I turned my head for a moment, looked at Andras, and nodded slowly.


    I epted the Lord''s request without long consideration.


    "I Understand. I will do as the Lord wishes."


    Only after hearing my words did Lord Barbatos smile with afortable expression.


    "It''s more like I asked for a favor. Is there anything else you want me to ask for? You can say anythingfortably."


    "Well, then"


    ".?"


    "Can I go to the farm now? I''ve been here longer than I thought and my daughter is waiting on the farm."


    ".?"


    "Pugh hahahaha!"


    I don''t know why, but Lord Barbatos burst intoughter even louder than before.


    The servants waiting outside were so surprised that they peeked in, to check the situation inside.


    I whispered to Andras with an expression of iprehension.


    "Did I say something wrong?"


    "Haha, no. It was a Sihyeon-like request."


    "Will they really let me go?"


    When I asked with a worried look on my face, Andras only smiled quietly.


    Ah! I don''t need anything else. I just want to go see Speranza and the baby Yakums!


    "Hahahaha!"


    Lord Barbato''sughter continued until he felt dizzy and staggered.


    It goes without saying that the therapist''s face that was watching from the side turned blue.
