Volume 5 Chapter 23 Let's Go To Pick Her Up 1️⃣4️⃣
Just now, the important people of Margrave Shield's family were all in a meeting room. They talked about trading with the World Tree Forest. Since trading will start, elf guests might come to the land. So, they must fix anything that could cause racism by next month.
Cain was also there. He felt bad. He acted with emotion and caused trouble. But his family helped. They would now have more work to do. When Margrave Shield told the reason for the new orders, everyone looked at Cain and clapped. Cain felt moved and bowed deeply.
"Margrave Shield, your family is amazing. I saw it before, but you really care about Lydia and Cain. You have a great family."
After the meeting, Luke thanked Margrave Shield.
"I was surprised too. I must now lead in a way that makes them proud,"
Margrave Shield said, rubbing his chin. In the room were still Margrave Shield, Aisha, Will and his wife, Jody and her husband, Luke, Lydia, and Cain. They were talking. Cain talked about the Forest Kingdom of Flora — their culture, cities, and magic tools — which was better than the World Tree Forest.
"By the way, Luke, Lydia, Cain. I already told Aisha and the others, but I will stop being Margrave this year. I will give the land to Will. There's only half a year left. But seeing how the family acted today, I think it's okay."
The three looked shocked. Their eyes got big.
"But, I will still protect Cain until he grows up. I will check all orders I give to him. After I stop being Margrave, some people might try to use Cain. I will protect him from them."
Margrave Shield said it happily. Will and others nodded.
"Thank you for caring about my son Cain."
Luke and Lydia bowed and said thanks. Cain also nodded and thanked him.
"No need to act so serious. Cain is now more important than before. And if I stay with Cain, I can go many places. Aisha, it'll be fun, right?"
"Yes, dear. We didn't travel much before. Now we can relax and enjoy."
Will gave a small sigh when he heard them. But no one stopped them. They just nodded.
"Oh, Father, Luke. If we get the 'Sento' fruit again, eat half of it before giving the rest to the royal family. Please don't make Mother and me widows for 20 more years."
Lydia said this with a smile, telling them to get younger by 10 years.
"But Lydia, that's a rare item. Is it okay if we take it? Also, why only 10 years younger? Why not 20?"
Luke looked unsure and asked.
"It's not taking it all. We just give it to the king a little later. And if it's only 10 years, you can handle it with spirit. Let's try hard."
Everyone was shocked by Lydia's words. But Cain laughed. Then everyone laughed.
Cain thought, "This really is a fun family," and he decided to offer more mana to the World Tree.
Later, they agreed that in one month, each group would bring trade plans. Next time, some civil officials would come too. They ended the meeting.
Luke and others wanted to return to Sanroze that day to start working on it. So Cain and his group went back to where they arrived from the World Tree Forest. Then they used teleport to return to Sanroze Territory.
