Chapter 201 – Great fortune is bound to come after a great calamity
“Very well. I’ll go ahead and investigate the western area of the courtyard while we wait for your investigation of Amman’s remains. Don’t worry, I’ll inform you if there anything noteworthy, ‘Lord Brendel’.”
Veronica had gotten the answer she wanted from the youth, so she started to cut back on revealing her intentions and started to hide behind a smile.
[I can’t relax around her.]
Brendel’s lips twitched a little. For some reason, Veronica was quite tolerant of his greedy act and even played along by making fun of him. If he was to put aside her status as someone from the Empire, he was actually quite impressed with the way how she did things.

“Not anything bad if that is what you’re wondering, but he passed down part of his Legacy to me. I wasn’t able to get used to it for a while.”

“I’m quite certain that your potential has gone up. Maybe I can teach you a few of my swordsmanships and you will be able to pick them up easily. Hmm, or maybe that particular Sword Arte.”
Brendel muttered a few ‘huhs’ and ‘ohs’ and his eyes glittered as though the sky was raining diamonds.
