Chapter 271.

Early in the morning, I apologized as I sipped on tea that Mrs. Arscilla poured for me while we were in the garden. "You probably heard from your son, but Im sorry for deceiving you."

Mrs. Arscilla smiled casually and drank her tea. "Its all right. I was caught off guard, but you didn't have any ill intentions. I heard you left your hometown for a peaceful life?

"Yes."

"That's the same reason I run a boarding house. I understand Mr. Den fee- no, Mr. Denburg's feelings."

In contrast to someone of high nobility, Mrs. Arscilla was not only humble but also kind-hearted. To be honest, Im indebted to Mrs. Arscilla quite a bit. So, while I was still wearing the hat of a civil servant, I was going to go along with the prime ministers plans to some degree.

"You can call me Den as usual. I chose my nickname as an alias anyway."

"I see. I look forward to working with you, Mr. Den."

"I look forward to your working with you as well, Mrs. Arscilla."

After saying goodbye, Mrs. Arscilla and I went into the boarding house. Arwen was sitting in our general direction, intimidated and surrounded by the residents of the boarding house. I grinned and sat next to Arwen.

"Now, everyone. There are two pieces of news today, Mrs. Arscilla said with a gentle smile, and everyone looked at Arwen. Then, they looked at Mrs. Arscilla with curious gazes, wondering what the other piece of news was.

"Starting today, a new resident, Miss Arwen, will be staying at our boarding house. Miss Arwen was introduced by Mr. Den, so she won't be leaving the boarding house in a month."

Mrs. Arscilla's boarding house was monitored by the prime minister for a month and then examined for any suspicious motives. But Arwen was introduced by me, so that process was omitted. This signified that he wouldnt needlessly offend me.

Everyone looked at me when Mrs. Arscilla spoke, and I said, "Arwen is a disciple of mine whom I teach magic. My paternal grandfather raised her, so she is also like my little sister. Hillis, Lisbon, and Alphonso have met her while hanging out with Flam a few times. She and Flam are also step-siblings."

Lisbon and Alphonso didn't understand this complicated relationship, and their eyes showed that they were lost. On the other hand, Hillis understood roughly, and she smiled lightly as she asked me, "So you're a distant relative of Mr. Flam?

"Well, I didn't know about that until recently, but it seems so."

Hillis taught Arwen about basic divine magic, so she knew Arwen as well as Flam.

"Oh, and Arwen can't speak, so please be aware of that.

At my explanation, Lisbon sadly spoke to Arwen in sign language. Arwen magically wrote in the air.

- I can hear you, so you can just speak. Stupid.

"Ahaha, sorry."

Even though he was called a fool, he smiled and apologized like a pushover. I warned Arwen, "Arwen, Lisbon is a fool, but you shouldnt say that to his face. From now on, call him a pushover."

- Yes, I understand. I look forward to working with you, Pushover.

"What do you mean Pushover! Thats mean!" Lisbon looked teary, and everyone laughed.

"And the second news is I think it would be better for Mr. Den to say it himself."

Everyone looked at me again, and I nodded lightly. "I purposely never mentioned it before, but actually, Im from the Crow Tribe.

?

When everyone heard me, there was no reaction as if they didnt understand.

Hello? I said I'm from the Crow Tribe.

What?! It was not until I repeated myself that it registered for everyone, to their astonishment. Hameln, in particular, could not keep his mouth shut as if he had cognitive dissonance.

I kept it a secret, but was it that surprising? Actually, I thought about asking them to keep it a secret. However, there was no need to keep it a secret since Uncle Bloody, William, and the prime minister had already found out.

"Oh, and my name is Denburg, but since my nickname is Den, you can keep calling me Den.

When I added, Alice stood up and shouted as if she were dumbfounded, You were even lying about your name?!

Ahaha, it seems so. When I laughed it off casually, Alice plopped down into her seat again, feeling despondent.

"Ah!" At that time, Yuria exclaimed as if she suddenly remembered, "Denburg I'm sure my uncle said the next chief-in-line for Crow Tribe who ran away was Denburg Blade!"

Everyone looked at me with astoundment.

"Hahaha, did Mr. William even say that? Actually, I don't really intend to inherit the position. Personally, I want Third Sister to succeed my father, so I ran away on purpose."

Of course, the fact that I had no intention of becoming the next chief was the exact reason why I ran away. Although Hestia noona was weak, it was time for our tribe to move away from focusing only on strength. I believe that Hestia noona will play that role.

Then, as Hillis listened carefully, she shouted in surprise, "Wait, Blade? Youre Leishas younger brother?!

"Oh, Fourth Sister? Ive always been Leisha noonas younger brother."

When I responded casually, Hillis looked at me, flabbergasted. "Leisha has been painstakingly looking for you. To think that you were hiding in plain sight."

"Ayy, what do you mean Fourth Sister has been searching for me?
