Frantically trying to mend our relationship?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’m curious—are you worried I’m suffering in the monastery?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or are you worried I’ll return, and you’re trying to pacify and control me with this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a father who had ignored him completely for a full month since he arrived at the monastery, Herbert would put a question mark beside that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, given this gift, I’ll pretend it’s the former.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought these things, Herbert followed Jeffers to the guest quarters and met the visitors waiting there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a towering warrior over two meters tall, with tawny curly hair and a neatly trimmed beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw Herbert, he straightened, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head respectfully: “Your Highness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert studied the man’s face for half a second, recalled his name from memory, and nodded: “...Blake, it’s been a long time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake Jones, an elite warrior trained by the Albert family, was under forty and already a High-Stage Initiate Axe Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long time, he had served as the Duke’s heir’s personal guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Herbert had grown up under his watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake raised his head, his gaze falling on Herbert’s hand back, staring at the golden markings, and whispered with complex emotion: “Your Highness, you’ve truly become...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, as you see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert knew what he was thinking, raised his hand calmly to display the Holy Scar: “I have sworn an oath—I am now a Holy Knight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Lady Albert were still alive, she would have... no, forgive me.” Blake hastily bowed, fearing he had touched Herbert’s wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...It’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentioning his mother, Herbert’s reaction was muted, merely a fleeting memory crossing his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grief of his mother’s death had indeed pained him; even now, he still felt the pain and loneliness of that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was done. Ten years had passed; he had grown accustomed to the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert shook his head, unwilling to dwell on the past, and deliberately changed the subject:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, why did you suddenly come here? Are you thinking of becoming a monk?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised an eyebrow, recalling an old joke, and teased lightly: “I remember you used to say you wanted three wives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough! Your Highness, you’re joking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Embarrassed, Blake’s gaze shifted to Jeffers the Wu Seng behind Herbert, expressionless, and he forced himself to speak:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was just joking...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was just blowing smoke—why are you taking it seriously?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert smiled faintly: “I was actually planning to arrange something for you later, but now it seems unnecessary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Highness! I—I actually can!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeffers behind them could no longer bear it; he coughed and stepped forward: “Lord Herbert, since you’ve met, I’ll take my leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, thank you, Jeffers Wu Seng. Please attend to your duties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Farewell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the outsider departed, Blake’s expression grew more restrained. He carefully studied Herbert before speaking in a low tone: “Your Highness, seeing you unharmed, I’m relieved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected Herbert to suffer terribly in the monastery, but now it seemed he had adapted well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unharmed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert almost laughed at the word, shaking his head: “Heh, perhaps it seems that way to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you knew what I’ve been through?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You wouldn’t think I’m unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you knew what I’ve been through?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You wouldn’t be looking at me like this now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of you know anything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unharmed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare you use such a flippant word?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was I unharmed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think being falsely accused, thrown into prison, forced into this monastery, and exiled to be a jailer... after all that, I’d feel fine?!!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everything I’ve been through, can I really feel better?!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not unharmed—I’m doing wonderfully~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day, I either use my authority to reform the monster girls under my charge, or get dragged into someone’s department by my two superiors for promotion... my life is sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day, either he uses his authority to reform the demon girls under his charge, or he’s being fought over by his two superiors who want to pull him into their departments for promotion… his life is downright luxurious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You won’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because my joy is beyond your imagination!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake, of course, had no idea of Herbert’s true thoughts. He heard this and assumed Herbert was putting on a brave face, secretly suffering greatly in the monastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blake, of course, knew nothing of Herbert’s true thoughts; upon hearing this, he merely assumed Herbert was putting on a brave front and had suffered greatly in the monastery behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after recalling the Duke’s strange attitude, his pity deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as a retainer, some things he could not say, had no right to say, and absolutely must not say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Blake could only speak in a low tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Highness, you’ve suffered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Blake wrestled with his thoughts, Herbert had been silently observing his reaction, and now had a suspicion—the Albert family’s attitude toward him was likely not favorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Blake wrestled with his doubts, Herbert silently observed his reactions, and now harbored a suspicion—that the duke’s family likely held a negative view of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s drop this.
