I seriously need a break.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan’s group had barely been in the capital for a single day and they had already been threatened with paying the crone compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, for now they had avoided it by accepting the tedious task of collecting materials on the borders of the Demon King’s domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was unsettling now was the fact that they had been summoned by the Duke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone none of them had ever spoken to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So knowing what the Duke might want from them was something they couldn’t even begin to imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sophia, explain this to me, what’s going on.\" Ryan asked with irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The thing is, the news that your group is S-Rank has already spread throughout the entire capital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now I understand. That makes some sense, but for the rumor to spread that fast...\" Ryan murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Helen turned her back to them and crossed her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What a pain, why do we have to visit that old Duke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk.\" The guard clicked his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Helen! Be quiet, stop being disrespectful. Please excuse her.\" Mirian bowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard walked toward the door and then looked back at them with the expression of someone who clearly didn’t want to be there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, we should get going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan’s group followed the guards, but outside the entrance there was a carriage pulled by two enormous black horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard who had spoken with them earlier climbed to the front to drive the carriage with two more guards. The rest remained at the guild entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan and his group entered the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just the three of them inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard urged the horses forward and the carriage began to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I always wanted to ride in one of these carriages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re so childish, Helen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t call me childish!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, don’t start fighting here, you two. Speaking of fighting, that dungeon... I’d like to go back and clear it properly.\" Ryan said while looking out the carriage window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’d like to as well, but that will be difficult...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you say that, Helen?\" Ryan asked, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t it obvious? We’d need to fly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And not only that...\" Mirian added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We could go on wyverns, but only the King’s royal fleet uses and controls them. It’s the same in every nation. It’s not something we could access.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wyverns? And what about dragons? Like the one from before, for example...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, that could be an option but dragons only exist in the Demon King’s domains. I think we encountered that one because it had been sleeping for a few decades...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What a pain. If I had known that earlier, I would have stayed longer in the dungeon. And I still have those unused points... I need to be more careful when I spend them this time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However,\" Mirian added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some mages can use flight magic. If we had one in the group. But Helen uses swords, I use a bow, and you Ryan are support...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I’m a priest now. I changed class inside the dungeon. Didn’t I mention that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you didn’t say anything!\" Helen grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirian leaned closer to him with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What! Seriously? Then why not become a Healer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget about that. The group is doing fine, don’t complain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, you do have a point. Somehow I feel like your new strength will help us, and your support buffs are even better now. So there’s no problem, I think.\" Mirian commented while closing her eyes and making gestures as if trying to imagine it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Helen crossed her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, thinking about that is complicated. The problem now is where we’re going to find a new member for the group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, we need a mage if we want to go back...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage doors opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve arrived. You may get out now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helen stepped down first, then Ryan got out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong, don’t stay there Mirian.\" Ryan extended his hand. She grabbed it and stepped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open the gates.\" the guard shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two guards came out from inside the mansion and opened the gates, welcoming their captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are those the infamous S-Rank adventurers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey!\" Helen protested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain stepped forward, intervening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I’ll take them to the Duke right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. The Duke is waiting. You may proceed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me, and don’t separate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard began walking toward the interior of the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He led them through the hallways to the third floor of the mansion, where they entered an empty room with a desk and papers scattered across it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait here, the Duke will come shortly. Sit down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan sat on a couch in front of the wooden desk, and Helen sat on the armrest of the couch where Ryan was sitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Her manners are terrible.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirian sat on another couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard left. A few minutes later the door opened and the Duke entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apologies for the delay. I am Duke August. And the right hand of the King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirian stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A pleasure. I am Mirian, and these are my companions, Helen and Ryan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A pleasure.\" Helen and Ryan replied in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, let’s skip the formalities.\" The Duke leaned against the desk, standing in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First of all, allow me to congratulate you for reaching S-Rank. In this nation we have very few adventurers with that rank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you very much.\" Mirian replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan was observing the Duke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is he really that important just because he’s the King’s right hand?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only S-Rank hero in the capital besides you is William.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirian placed a finger on her chin and thought for a moment before responding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve heard of him. They say he never travels in a group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, he must be very arrogant...\" Helen added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is somewhat arrogant, but that’s not the reason he travels alone.\" the Duke said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I doubt you called us here just to congratulate us.\" Ryan said as he stood up from the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’s definitely plotting something.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Duke stood up completely and walked toward the window, turning his back to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You’re right about that, and I’ll be direct. I want you to dissolve this group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1042,"2026-06-05T15:18:52.970Z",1,"novelbin.me","d5ac2fdc6940ae02c41f3132e5de912cc868a4a9eae5dd0806661c31b3be5eb4","s-rank-harem-i-became-my-character-with-extra-co-chapter-14","s-rank-harem-i-became-my-character-with-extra-co-chapter-12",176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fs-rank-harem-i-became-my-character-with-extra-co-cover.jpg"]
