Chapter 146: Chapter 146. The Time Has Finally Come...
"Em? What the hell!? What are you doing here?" Myne yell after seeing the youngest kid of Fenrir coming out from the portal and rammed into him violently.
"Wafu!!"
This is the only answer Myne gets to his question before the kid starts running around him happily.
Seeing that talking to the kid is just a waste of time, Myne was about to open a portal back to Fenrir's cavern and throw him in it, when Fenrir's helpless voice sounded in his mind...
"Myne, sorry, It can't be helped, he wanted to go with you and help you to finish your so-called work, and he even convinced me or if I say more specifically he threaten me that he stops eating and going out if I don't let him go with you, so please take him along with you for some days. By the way, If you say that he's a Fenrir, The Divine Beast, you might invite unnecessary trouble.
It would be best to pretend that he's a Forest Wolf you fancy along the way and decide to bring him with you as your pet."
"Wait you can't do that, I don't have time to play with him, I still have to do a lot of things. Fenrir, this is not fair, I am sending him back, you are his Mother, you should know that not all requests from children can be fulfilled," Myne said annoyingly ready to use Space-Time skill to send this little trouble back.
"Sigh, I see, I thought if take care of my child I can give you some more gifts in return as thanks but alas, anyway, send him back I will make some excuse so he doesn't be too much sad," Fenrir's fake disappointed voice comes in Myne's head through telepathy.
"Understood, I will take good care of this little guy, you can rest assured. However, if things get out of hand then I will return him immediately, okay?" Myne who chance his decision instantly after hearing the word 'Gift' said happily.
"Deal, thanks for your help, see you later then," Fenrir said happily before disconnecting the telepathic link with Myne.
Sigh, people really have to do all kinds of weird things to make a fortune, I hope Aisha didn't mind taking care of one more little guy, Myne thought and took The Little Fenrir in his hand and spoke while rubbing his head, "Listen, little guy, your Mother has dumped your responsibility on my head, so if you behave well like a good kid, Immediately tell me if you are in danger and didn't make trouble for me then I will give you a lot of delicious food daily, but if you didn't listen to me and play around like a wild animal then I will send you back to your Mother, do you understand?"
"Understood, understoodー!Wafuu. I will be a good kid," The Little Fenrir said happily while nodding his head.
"I hope so," Myne said with a helpless smile seeing how excitedly the little guy in his hands is.
As Myne's shoulders fell dejectedly, the little guy get out of his hand, and climbed his way up to his usual place on top of Myne's head, saying "Heave-ho, heave-ho."
While Myne's head was patted by the naughty kid, he walked towards the base camp, ignoring his excited cheer which only he could hear in his mind.
...
"M, Lord Myne!? It's good that you're safe!! We have been searching for you for several hours, we thought you had an accident because you went too deep into the forest."
As soon as Myne arrived outside of the base camp, The knight leader called out to him with staggering energy, and his face was filled with unnecessary happiness just like a wife's who saw her husband coming back from the war after a long time.
Why the hell all of those knights are so happy seeing me? Did they miss me so much just after losing sight of me for a day? Seem like my title as the First Princess's fiancee is not completely useless as I thought. Although those knights didn't show it on their faces before, but they really seem to be here to protect me from those nobles.
Sigh, having so caring Father-In-Law and Brother-In-Law welled up tears of happiness in my eyes, even though they were the ones who created all this mess in the first place, Myne thought while wiping his non-exist tears of happiness from his eyes jokingly.
"Thank you Mr.
Knight Leader and other knight's friends for being worried about me ( Although there is no need for that ) and wasting your precious time to search me, I really appreciate your hard work," Myne said with a smile while giving a light bow to them in order to make some good impression, who knows if one day he needs some cannon fodder, I mean helper, then maybe those innocent and good-hearted knights can come in handy.
Maybe Myne underestimates his own status as The Fiancee of The First Princess or those knights really never get any appreciation in their lives from high-status people, starting from the knight leader, all the knights who were surrounding him were shocked to speechless.
"Ahh, please raise your head Lord Myne, You are a member of the Royle family, this kind of thing doesn't suit someone as your status. As long as you understand that wandering in the unknown forest without a guide can be dangerous we are enough happy.
And fortunately, you returned unharmed, otherwise, I don't know how I and my people face Your Highness Aniue who ask us to take care of you," The knight leader said hurridly, although he behaves brave and hot-blooded in front of his men, but when it comes to talking to some with the high status he become little shy and nervous, like a girl.
Myne hearing The knight leader's speedy voice, raise his head, and show that all the knights complicated expressions from before turned into smiles, Sigh...good and innocent people, too easy to fool, just some sweet words and done, no wonder noble can easily rule over them and do whatever they want in their territory and no one can even raise their voice, not that they could do even if they want, otherwise next day those people heads might be hanging in front of everyone, but overall comonomer is too easy to fool, Myne thought while smiling at the knights like harmless to Hume and animal.
"By the way, Lord Myne, I've been curious since just now. Why is that wolf pup riding on your head?" The knight leader asked curiously after seeing that Myne is a very easy going person unlike other nobles, who only know how to look at them with disgust and behave toward them as if they owe thousands of gold coins from them.
"Ahh, about him, I save him from some trouble in the forest and after that he start following me all the way till here, As you can see, he's become attached to me. So after thinking for a while, I decided to adopt him as my pet," Myne said while taking The Little Fenrir from his head into his embrace.
"Oh, this is quite rare for a wild wolf to get so attached to you. But if you look at it another way, it's very cute, isn't it?" The Knight who made Claude fun back them said with a smile.
"This guy is still alive? Seem like Claude was too busy to care about him, good for him, at least he manage to save his life, for some days I think," Myne thought.
"Wafu?"
The Little Fenrir who attracted everyone's attention with his lethal cuteness tilted his head to one side and asked, "What are they saying and why they are smiling while looking at me?"
"Nothing, they praise you, saying that you are very cute and obedient," Myne said with a smile.
"Really! Then they are also nice, I like them," The Little Fenrir said happily while wagging his tail.
While Myne and the knight having a small conversation, one of the knights ran out from the forest and after seeing the knight leader, he quickly run toward him panting heavily.
"Leader, the adventurers who are participating in the game from nobles side will soon return!"
Hearing the words the softened atmosphere became tense suddenly.
"Understood. The time to hand them their final notice has finally come. All members, get to your positions! Prepare yourselves just in case they attempt to escape!," Hearing the knight leader's instructions which were filled with fighting spirit, his subordinates simultaneously ran to their assigned posts.
The way all the members put in their fighting spirit was amazing, this guy has some skill in leadership I have to say," Myne thought while looking at the knight leader.
"Lord Myne, the time has finally come. This dangerous game you participated in is one big arrest. Let's settle this one for all," The knight leader said with a wide grin and slowly walked to the open space where the verdict would be delivered.
"Hohoho, seem like fun is about to begin," Myne mumbled excitedly and follow the knight leader.
"Although I don't really understand anything, but let's go!" The Little Fenrir spoke happily.
...
"Oh? Look guy, It seems like even monsters didn't want to eat this beggar. The knights were kicking up a fuss, so I thought you were eaten up but alas I was wrong. But it's also good that you're safe, now I can deal with you myself."
As soon as Myne appear in an open space in the middle of the camp, Claude starts spreading poison from his mouth.
