Chapter 13: Traveling Together

The farewell banquet was very grand. Thanks to Kahar, most lords had arranged representatives to attend Macas' banquet, which was convenient for Valeria to not have to send invitations one by one.

Valeria did not forget to invite the common people for this coronation. Most of them were people who were rescued from the magic array. With their publicity, people outside knew that a new earl had taken office, and he was a great philanthropist.

At the banquet, the local church representative announced Valeria Leviston as the new earl.

The nobles present knew that the succession ceremony was so well prepared that it must have been planned for a long time. The overall situation was set. Now they had to think about how to get more benefits for their family. The common people did not understand the depth of the nobles. They only knew that the newly appointed earl implemented policies that benefited the people, such as tax cuts, which made them very happy to support the new earl.

"Is this a farewell banquet or a title inheritance banquet?" As the protagonist of the farewell, Tarasha was left out at the banquet. In fact, she didn't particularly want to blend into the crowd, but it didn't affect her complaints.

Hearing this, Selsi just smiled and said nothing. She looked at Valyria who was surrounded by people, and her smile was like a blooming red rose. The more beautiful the creature, the more dangerous it is. The beautiful rose will pierce your hand without you knowing it. She believed that Valyria's ambition was not limited to being an earl.

Someone else came to Selsi, and they still tried to recruit her as a royal writer for their family.

Selsi smiled and rejected everyone. She looked at Tarasha for help. She was also a little irritated by being surrounded and asked such a question that she had rejected so many times.

Tarasha was gloating beside her and had no intention of helping. Let her calculate her.

Tarasha had a cold face all the time. The dangerous pressure from her body made others dare not approach, but she was happy to be idle.

It was just a simple farewell banquet that only took a few hours, but the title inheritance ceremony increased this time several times.

As the nominal protagonists, Tarasha and Selsi could not say goodbye in advance.

These ceremonies were very familiar to Tarasha, and she had long been accustomed to these etiquette. But for Selsi, this was a waste of her life. It was better to listen to the sincerity of the children on the beach than to listen to these people's dishonest flattery. She would rather tell stories to the children than listen to these meaningless slanders here.

The people surrounding Valeria were a little less, and Selsi took the opportunity to walk up to her: "Dear Earl, I have urgent matters far away. Thank you for setting up a farewell banquet for us. Every story has an end. I think it's time for us to say goodbye."

Selsi emphasized "farewell banquet" and "parting" on purpose, and Valeria seemed to have just reacted: "Oh, yes, it's getting late. Come on, please raise your glasses to see off our demon-slayer hero."

Everyone present raised their glasses to salute them. Selsi and Tarasha picked up the glasses from the side and drank them.

The Earl personally saw them out of the manor gate, and some nobles followed.

This was the last courtesy. After that, the Earl took those followers back to her banquet to continue celebrating this beautiful day.

"Where are you going next?"

Tarasha asked Selsi. She wanted to know where she was going so that she could stay away from her. She has become unlike herself since she met her.

"I will pass through Orinde."

"You know who I am."

The originally harmonious atmosphere was broken. As one of the most well-informed people, the bard could not have been unaware of the wanted order. It was just that no one mentioned it, and the two of them lived in peace. But once this balance was broken, it was impossible to maintain the superficial peace.

"The wanted order says that this person has black hair, heterochromatic eyes and shadows that can blend into one. I think it would be hard not to know such obvious features." Selsi spread her hands, "But don't worry, I don't believe in the devil theory, I'm just curious about your story. If I want to report you, then you would not be in the hotel when you woke up that day, but in the church."

"What is your purpose?" For Tarasha, people with a purpose are easier to deal with.

"I'm going to Atherton." Selsi took out the invitation letter from her body and shook it, "The Caedmon family invited me to write for them."

This invitation letter was received on the same day she received the invitation letter from Macas. The Caedmon family is in the imperial capital, and I think their life is more luxurious. Selsi has been wanting to create works about the aristocracy and the royal family recently, and being able to go to the noble family in the imperial capital is a good opportunity.

"I can't guarantee that I will not be involved in political struggles, so I need someone to protect me." Selsi said as a matter of course, "I can just repay you on the way." For Selsi, only people who hold the handle can guarantee that they will not escape temporarily.

Tarasha was very unhappy about being threatened, and when she heard the familiar family name, her face was full of anger, but her heart was in turmoil.

"Okay, you are so cruel." Tarasha compromised. She must be extremely vigilant about anyone or anything related to the Caedmon family. It is time for her to go back.

Seeing that the other party compromised so quickly, Selsi was a little worried, but then she thought it didn't matter, so she would take it one step at a time.

The two of them set out on their journey together again with their own thoughts.
