Chapter 32: Celebration
In the sky, a ship could be seen moving at incredible speed toward the Bartfort estate. Onboard were only two people — Barkus and Leon. They were engaged in a conversation, during which Barkus thanked Leon for helping him correct a mistake he had made in his youth. It was due to this mistake that he had married Zola. Now, he was free, and with him, his entire family was free as well.
After some time, Leon was forced to leave his father alone, as Clear and Luxion needed to report something to him. By then, it was already evening. The First Leon's consciousness was inactive, but the Second was still awake and decided to finish all pending matters.
"So, what's the update, Luxion?" the Second asked, looking at the AI with expectant eyes.
"As you predicted, Master, the Viscount and Zola have begun arguing," Luxion responded in his usual tone. "Clear is currently observing them. Is there anything you would like to order?"
Hearing this, the Second thought for a moment, recalling the novel's plot, and said:
"Yes. Kill Zola and her children."

A few hours later, it was decided to slow down the ship to ensure they arrived home early in the morning. This gave Barkus and Leon some time to rest and regain their strength before the important meeting with others. When they finally reached home, the first rays of sunlight were already breaking through the thick clouds, painting the sky in warm shades of pink and gold. Tired but satisfied, they disembarked, breathing in the scent of fresh grass and morning dew, mixed with the distant aroma of the forest.
Wasting no time, the two headed straight for the Bartfort family house, where they were eagerly awaited. Everyone present fell silent as they listened to the tale of what had happened. Words flowed one after another, painting a vivid picture of the events for the listeners. Gradually, joy and relief replaced the tension that had filled the house. Soon, the news spread throughout the entire barony.
