Chapter 98: Doesn’t know when to give up


    Beg your pardon, Sedes-sama, but while we were able to meet with Selen-sama, we failed to convince her toe back.


    I see.


    After hearing such a report, Sedes sighed.


    He had sent numerous emissaries now, but all had failed to convince Selen toe back home.


    Also


    Is there something else?


    Y-yes. Its about this


    The retainer said so and then brought out a letter of resignation.


    Are you saying that even you want to move to that city?


    T-thousand apologies! Its justits just that its so wonderful there! The foods delicious, and the lodgings are sofortable! They also have thisrge, pleasant bath that you can use anytime!


    Sedas has grown so tired of hearing the same excited speech that he couldnt even muster a sigh anymore.


    After all, each of the emissaries he has sent to that city has, without exception, decided to move there.


    They were sent to take back Selen, but they ended up being taken instead. As the saying goes, <em>many go out for wool ande home shorn</em>.


    Ingrates, every single one of them! After all Ive done for their careers, for their lives, theyre going to leave just like that!? And for what, a city in some wastnd!


    After the retainer left the premises, Sedes shouted so.


    Sending another subordinate without careful thought was no longer an option.


    Just what the hell do they see in that city!


    At that moment


    It sounds like youre having trouble persuading sister toe home, father.


    Ohh, Selius! Youre back!


    Yes. Ive just arrived.


    As an ally of the Albert house, the Bazurata house also participated in the recent war.


    This was Seliuss first campaign, but ording to the reports that Sedes has received, he performed spectacrly.


    He possessed both [Dual Wield] and [Green Magic], making him a Double Gift like his older sister.


    Another thing he had inmon with his sister was his appearance. He looked so much like her that others would sometimes mistake him for a girl. Not that any of that mattered in the battlefield, especially when he and his sister individually demonstrated enough strength to make the enemies shake in fear.


    Anyway, my dear sisters selfishness is putting us in quite a bind, isnt it?


    So, youve heard I didnt imagine that Luke-sama would have such an ability though. Its hard to tell which one between him and Raul-sama would have the greater strength in the future, so maybe your sisters actions arent so bad.


    No, its very clear, father.


    Selius confidently dered so.


    In the end, Luke-samas Gift is simply building a city, isnt it? He cannot possibly match Raul-sama and the [Sword Master Techniques] Gift. Ive seen it firsthand, and its truly extraordinary. Moreover, Raul-sama has mastered the use of his power. Taking down a city is a simple matter for him, especially with the right motivations.


    I see


    Nothing could have convinced Sedes more than his sons firsthand ount.


    So now, all we have to worry about is your stubborn sister. No matter what I say, she wont listen


    Maybe she will listen to me. Let me bring her back.


    Are you sure? Youve juste back from a war


    Theres no need to worry, father. Truth be told, Ive been quite unable to sit still since Ive returned from the battlefield. Hopefully, this mission will solve that.


    Seliusbefore I knew it, youve grown to be so reliable


    Sedes was moved to tears at his sons growth.


    However, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.


    <em>What if even Selius is tempted to move to that city? No, no, I should have faith in my son.</em>


    Very well then, please bring your sister home.


    Yes, leave it to me, father.


    Ultimately, Sedes decided to send off his son with a smile.


    Selen-sama, another emissary from your noble house hase.


    Another one? My stubborn father really doesnt know when to give up.


    Recently, emissaries have beening from Selens home.


    The first ones arrived about 3 weeks ago. They were sent to ascertain whether the rumors about our vigewhich have apparently reached even Selens familys domainhave any truth to them.


    Of course, their main goal in all of this was to bring Selen back home.


    Not wanting to live in hiding, Selen met with the first emissaries and told them that she wouldnt being home. After days of trying to persuade Selen and failing, the emissaries decided to give up ande home.


    after some time though, the same emissaries arrived to the vige again. This time, they had a different purpose.


    Please, let us move here! Weve already resigned our post, so theres no conflict now. We beg of you, please let us migrate!


    When pressed for details, the emissaries said they enjoyed the time they spent here so much, they knew they just had to move here.


    It wasnt just the first emissaries though. Each group sent by the Bazurata house ended up moving to the vige.


    With such results, Selen thought that her father would soon give up on trying


    Doesnt he realize that if he keeps this up, hell have no retainer left? I wonder, should we send this one away before they even set foot in the vige?


    Selen-sama, this one identifies himself as your younger brother.


    Eh? Selius?
