My Master Is A Tsundere - Chapter 168
“Since when did you learn to tease me like that, Veia.”
Rant Valo looked at Veia with a wry smile on his face.
“Don’t I do it all the time? Hehehe~”
Veia replied with a giggle.
And so, Rant Valo and the rest spent a whole week inside the castle. To Rant Valo’s surprise, Princess Peiana had already given up. She only speaks to him in a formal manner.
One day, the king suddenly arrived in front of them. They were currently drinking tea out in the garden.
“Saintess, there is news about Ms. Veia.”
The king said to them.
“There is!?”
Veia stood up in excitement. She looked at the king hopefully.
“Yes. A dukedom claimed that they recognized her.”
The king nodded his head and explained to her.
“Then, let’s go!”
Veia said to Floriana Sabina and Rant Valo excitedly.
“Relax, Veia. We still aren’t sure if they are really your family. Don’t get your hopes up.”
Rant Valo calmed her down with a calming smile on his face. If they ended up not being Veia’s family then she would just become disappointed.
“I understand, Master.”
Veia nodded her head solemnly at Rant Valo.
“Let’s head out tomorrow. Right, Master Floriana?”
Rant Valo turned to Floriana Sabina and asked.
“That’s fine with me, Disciple.”
Floriana Sabina nodded her head before she continued sipping her tea.
“Then, I’ll make preparations for the Saintess’ departure.”
The king bowed his head and left.
“Are you excited, Veia?”
Rant Valo asked her with a smile.
“Of course, Master! If they are really my family, I’ll finally be put at ease.”
Veia nodded her head strongly. She tried to not expect too much just like what Rant Valo said to her.
“If they really are your family, how am I gonna explain our relationship?”
Rant Valo said to her with a wry smile on his face.
“Don’t worry, Master! I’ll tell them that I’m your only woman!”
Veia reassured Rant Valo. After all, she doesn’t know how her family would react to the news that Rant Valo had plans of marrying a lot of women.
…
The next day, Rant Valo and the rest sat inside the boat. They were currently located in the same garden where they landed before.
“Rant Valo, see you!”
Princess Peiana waved her hand in goodbye. There was melancholy on her face. She wanted to escape her fate, but there was no chance for her. Rant Valo was already adored by the Saintess.
“Saintess, I bid you farewell. If they aren’t really her family, then please come back, and we will entertain you again.”
The king also bid them farewell.
“Thank you for everything!”
Rant Valo waved his hands and thanked them. It was a fun time spending time in the royal castle. He felt like he lived like a prince for a week.
“Rant Valo, don’t forget what I told you.”
Magicus Inde shouted from the side. He calmly watched them.
“Yes, I won’t forget.”
Rant Valo bowed his head to him respectfully. Veia and Floriana Sabina followed his example and also bowed towards him.
“The saintess is bowing to the Beslor Magic Kingdom’s envoy!?”
The king looked at the scene in shock. There shouldn’t be a reason for the envoy to be respected by the Saintess. He was just a mere envoy. Their statuses are far apart with Floriana Sabina in the lead.
“Hold on. The two of you.”
Floriana Sabina said to them. The boat floated into the air and flew forward. It then headed southwest towards the dukedom that was said to recognize Veia.
After a quarter of an hour of travel, Rant Valo and the rest arrived at the dukedom. Its name was the Dukedom of Cresta. It was a dukedom with many provinces managed under it.
Floriana Sabina landed the boat on farmland a bit further away from the capital city of the dukedom.
“We’re here.”
Floriana Sabina stood up and left the boat. Rant Valo and Veia followed after her. They looked around in curiosity. The sun was covered with clouds so it was very comfortable.
“Let’s go.”
Floriana Sabina urged them. They then walked towards the capital city.
Before long, they reached the city gates. A guard stopped them and demanded a fee.
“How much?”
Floriana Sabina asked.
“A 4th Grade Mana Stone for each person.”
The guard grinned at them.
“Here!”
Floriana Sabina threw a 7th-grade mana stone towards the guard.
“What is this?”
The guard didn’t recognize it due to its rarity. He examined it in front of him closely.
“Wait, this is too pure!”
The guard exclaimed in shock. He looked around, but he didn’t see Floriana Sabina’s group anymore.
He could only scratch his head. How was he gonna explain this to his superiors?
Rant Valo walked in the lead while they were inside the city.
“This is the way.”
Rant Valo said to them. He used his Spiritual Sense to find the house of the Duke. If you forgot, the Spiritual Sense is an inferior version of the Divine Sense that Floriana Sabina always uses.
Floriana Sabina and Veia didn’t say much. They just followed him.
“This is a mansion?”
Rant Valo looked at the huge castle-like structure in front of them. He almost thought that he led them the wrong way when he realized that this was what he saw in his Spiritual Sense.
“Let’s go, Master! I’m excited.”
Veia didn’t care about the details. She pulled Rant Valo’s arm towards the entrance of the ‘mansion’.
“Alright. Stop pulling me, Veia.”
Rant Valo said to her. Even though he said that he still allowed her to pull him.
A guard stood on the side of the gate.
“Hello, this is a letter from the king.”
Veia passed the letter the king gave them before they left. It contains instructions and an introduction to Rant Valo’s group.
“T-The king!?”
The guard took the letter in alarm. He then rushed inside carrying the letter. Another guard took his place and watched over Rant Valo’s group.
