Chapter 48: Homecoming Part III
I suppose the negotiation went neither badly nor well. My father asked me for some time to come to a decision.
Which is only reasonable. The plan I proposed is something nobility would find themselves typically unable to accept.
The risk is too high, and if I were him… I would probably agonize over the right choice.
I do not expect to be accepted right away. On the contrary, it would be scary if I were.
However, it would seem Ludo Formet… is not stern a person as I had imagined him to be. Time had made its mark on him and he looked much older than I remembered, but I could tell that he still considered me his son from the way he spoke.
If so, my chances might be better than I expected. Aside from whether he might let us stay here, he should at least be willing to lend us some money.
Most of my negative energy is concealed by the night crystal. The main problem is the vampire hunter, but I doubt they would be right on our heels already.
Well, rationally speaking, it should be impossible. If they are, then it would mean that through some means they have deduced our current location and that they were able to either outrun or keep up with my top speed, both of which spell disaster.
I woke up from my slumber and felt thankful that I was able to greet yet another day. I crawled out of the closet, stretched lightly and walked over to Senri’s room which was next to mine.
