Chapter 271

I-is he sick or hurt somewhere.

Not at all, mlady! Theres no way that Sir Calypse will get injured. The Commander is in good health. His incredible health is unbelievable, and powerful! Take a look at this port alone. Sir Calypse has made Anatol the best commercial city in Whedon. So much has happened while the lady was away. Soon, Anatol will become a county. His majesty the king has promised to grant Sir Calypse a new title as a count soon as he returns from the expedition. The lady will soon be a countess!

As Yulysion went on, he became more and more excited and poured out surprising news passionately. Max, who was looking at him with a perplexed expression, asked him in a trembling voice.

Riftan left for an expedition? Hes not h-here right now?

A disappointed expression reflected on Yulysions face. He confessed in a slow tone as he rubbed his nape with his hand that was clad in leather gloves.

Sir Calypse went last month on an expedition to Livadon by the Kings order. There was a conflict last year in the northwestern region of Whedon and Livadon have sent reinforcements as support. This time, monsters began sprawling in the eastern part of Livadon. His majesty the King wanted to repay last years favor by sending Whedons most powerful knight. Perhaps, he wanted to brag to the world that Whedons royal family has a knight branded as the incarnation of Uigru.

And so in exchange for his loyalty, Riftan will be granted the title of count. Max muttered with a bewildered expression on her face. The disappointment that Max felt was indescribable, she was expecting that she would soon meet Riftan. Then When will Riftan return?

The subjugation is not expansive so it will not take long. The last time a report was sent, it stated that they shall be back before spring.

Max bit her lips. They would only be staying for a week at most. When the Holy Knights would arrive, the dispatch team would be heading straight to Pamela Plateau. The thought of not seeing Riftan before a long journey seemed to darken the light in her eyes.

Please dont be too disappointed. I will send a telegram to Sir Calypse as soon as we arrive at the castle. If he is informed that the lady is back, he will immediately wipe out all the monsters and rush to get back here.

Yulysion tried to comfort her, but it didnt help make her feel any better. Not only did she doubt that Riftan would really do as such, but it will take at least a month to get there from Livadon, no matter what rush it took. Even if Riftan hurried back as soon as he got the information, Max would have already left for Pamela Plateau by the time that he arrived.

Max somberly shook her head. Im not returning for good. Supposedly, I have to train for a year more, but in exchange for joining the dispatch team, I was given a special magic ceremony to receive my attribute. I will have to leave for Pamela Plateau with the other wizards in the next few days.

Pamela Plateau?

This time around, Yulysion was the one who felt shocked. He stood there with his mouth agape and stared at her with a puzzled expression. As Yulysion was about to speak again, his men stopped in front of the restaurant with four carriages. Their conversation was eventually cut from there. Max got into the carriage with the wizards who just came out of the restaurant. It seemed as if Yulysion wanted to talk more, but he climbed up on his horse as his men came by handing his horses bridle.

We shall continue our conversation at the castle.

Yulysion leaned his head into the window, sighed, and rode his horse to the front and took lead. Then, Sidina, who was sitting close to Max, began prodding her as if she had been very eager to know the truth.

Max, are you really Lady Calypse? How could you pretend to be so innocent all this time?

The World Towers principle is to keep status and family a secret.

Friends sometimes exchange secrets! I thought we were friends

Im s-sorry. It wasnt easy to bring up the truth.

Sidina let out a breathless sigh as Max looked around and apologized embarrassingly.

Well, its not that I dont understand. The Remdragon Knights are indeed famous but in Anatol, there is that person If it was revealed that Max is Lord Calypses wife, you would have suffered a lot.

Come to think of it, we might be able to meet the traitor soon. How do you think Calto will react?

Annette, who was sitting opposite of her, asked with eyes full of interest. Meeting Ruth Serbel seemed to be more exciting to her than the warrior who defeated the dragon.

Max smiled bitterly. Right now I am not sure if he is in Calypse Castle. He probably went along on the expedition.

Max then felt disappointment again. However, as Sidina bombarded her with questions about the Remdragon Knights, she was able to be distracted for a while from the disappointment of not meeting Riftan. After she tried shaking off that ill-feeling, she began to exaggerate her husbands skills to her friends. After some time of talking endlessly, the wagon finally reach
