The sound of eating utensils was heard in the Teyvat family mansion. The dinner they had this time was a special dinner, as the eldest son of the Teyvat family would go to the capital and run the knight school examination.
"How's Lloyd, is all your stuff prep complete?"
That said it was the mother of Lloyd and Liam, Jessica.
"It's mom, all my things are in order. Just leave."
Lloyd smiled at Jessica. He seems very happy because tomorrow is the day of his departure.
"Don't embarrass Teyvat's surname. Make sure that you beat up the lowly people who are there."
In the end all these things just go round and round on the title, position, and superiority. Liam had guessed that this would end in that direction.
"Of course dad. They have no equal to me."
Lloyd replied to Zagan with a proud tone. Shirogami in Liam knows that in Tale of the Untales, Lloyd is a very strong character, so his pride has a basis.
"Then what about Liam's training? Did you know your magic element?"
Although it did not appear on his expression, Liam was shocked to hear Zagan's question. He thought that dinner this time would only focus on Lloyd.
"I know where Dad's water element is. I seem good at healing magic. I've also been practicing swordsmanship so hard that I can also be like Lloyd and make those lowly people aware of their place."
Although Shirogami was confused to answer, but thanks to Liam's rough mouth, he was able to improvise and cope with the current situation. For the mana element, Liam lied that he had the mana element water. He only answered according to the elements he used while in Tale of The Untales. It was impossible for Liam to tell his family that affinity tablets did not show any reaction. It could have been stained from the Teyvat family.
"Good then. With your healing magic, you can help your brother from behind."
Liam is grateful that Zagan was not disappointed with the water element and healing magic. If Zagan is disappointed, Liam no longer knows how to avoid this problem.
Dinner continued as usual. Liam chatted with his family naturally. After dinner, Liam then returned to his room.
"Tomorrow.it will begin."
Rachel's smuggling plan will begin tomorrow, even though the rogue is ripe, Liam is still a bit nervous.
(It's okay, tomorrow everything will be fine.)
Trying to shift his mind from being nervous, Liam thought about why the Affinity Tablet did not show any reaction.
(My man is black, is that a bad sign?)
Liam thought with all his might about what was wrong with his mana. Being a dead end, Liam then wanted to make an experiment.
"I have to call Sebas."
Shortly thereafter, Sebas arrived at Liam's room.
"I heard you calling me."
As usual, as a servant Sebas always came quickly.
"Yes, I want you to use where your flow is."
"Good."
Without asking what purpose Liam wanted to see where his flow was, Sebas did so without protest. A moment later, from Sebas' hands, a light blue light appeared.
"It's sir."
Liam thought for a moment, then he asked Sebas.
"What is your element affinity?"
"I have the water element sir."
Liam began to see the color relationship that appeared with one's element affinity. Liam then asks Sebas to summon a servant who has an affinity for the elements of fire, earth, and wind.
After a while, Sebas came with 3 servants. Liam told them to do whichever flow. As a result, the servant with the fire affinity gave off a red glow, the soil affinity gave off a brownish yellow light, the wind affinity gave off a green glow like Edna's.
(It turns out so!)
After having the other 3 servants leave, Liam then asked Sebas.
"Is there any way to find out the secondary element?"
"There's another special tablet for that sir."
"Quick get it!"
Sebas then shook his head towards Liam.
"We don't have the tablet, sir. All we have is a primary element affinity tablet."
"Tch, it's useless."
Liam thought he could tell what his magic element affinity was, but he felt deadlocked again.
"Is it possible, sir, that your element is a secondary element?"
Sebas asked Liam with a curious face.
"Yes." Yeah."
"But sir, in most cases, everyone has a primary element first, before it has a secondary element."
Liam then answered Sebas in a tart tone.
"We don't know until we try. Put that in your little brain."
Shirogami was resigned to Liam's sharp mouth.
"What about the preparation of the plan? Is everything really mature? We'll die if we get caught."
Liam asked because he was very nervous about the plan they were going to execute tomorrow.
"Everything is ready, sir, there's no need to worry about that."
"Hopefully what you say is true..."
(May tomorrow be fine.).
...***...
When the sun had not yet appeared, Liam had already opened his eyes.
"Come, let's start the plan."
Quietly, Liam exited the mansion and went towards the dungeon. He meets Sebas. The two of them left the mansion. Arriving in front of the dungeon, Liam saw a horse carriage that was already available. Liam then goes to the dungeon and goes to where Rachel is locked up. Liam looked at Rachel who was still asleep. He still felt sorry for the 9-year-old who was locked up in the prison.
"Wake up useless creatures."
Rachel was shocked when she heard Liam's voice.
"Master Liam?"
Rachel looked desperate. He felt that the time of his execution was near.
"Eh? Mr Sebas?"
Rachel is too late to realize Sebas's whereabouts. He was confused as to why Sebas could be with Liam.
"Free, open the cage."
"Good sir."
Using the key he held, Sebas then opened Rachel's confinement.
Rachel looked at Liam and Sebas with a puzzled look. After the cage opens, Liam then calls Rachel out.
"Get out of you."
With fear, trembling, and bewilderment Rachel came out of her locked up place.
"I'll give you 2 basic useless options. Die here or get out of here and die somewhere else 60 to 70 years from now."
Rachel was confused by Liam's words.
"Mr Liam wants to get you out of here, Rachel."
Sebas then explains what Liam's heart really meant. Shirogami who was inside Liam's own body had already resigned with his sharp mouth.
"Well, it's easier if you want to die here, right now."
Liam connected Sebas's sentence with a sharp tone. Despite her fear, Rachel saw a glimmer of hope for survival. He then immediately bowed to Liam.
"Thank you, Mr. Liam!"
In his heart, Liam is happy that Rachel still has the spirit of life after the many hardships she experienced due to the Teyvat family. It would be terrible if Rachel had given up on continuing her life, but as expected, as Heroine Rachel did not give up.
"You must obey all my commands, one mistake and your life will be lost."
"Ba-good!"
And that way, Liam started the next stage of the plan.
...***...
At the gate of the Teyvat family area, there were several horse-drawn carriages lined up. One of the trains was different from the other. The carriage had a wide variety of ornaments and luxurious ornaments. It was definitely not an ordinary car.
Many people in the Teyvat region gathered to see what was going on. Lloyd is then seen walking, then getting into the luxury train.
A trumpet was then sounded and the car troupe was walking along with Lloyd's car in their midst.
A lively musical accompaniment accompanied Lloyd's departure. Liam and Sebas see Lloyd's departure from a distance. There was a bit of worry emanating from Liam's face but he tried to hide it.
Moving on to Lloyd's car troupe, shortly after they left, a train broke away from Lloyd's entourage.
The train was initially intercepted but after being told they wanted to stop by the next town because Zagan had told them to buy a sword for Liam, they were then left to leave. That's the train that actually took Rachel.
Back to Liam's side, now Liam was on the outskirts of the Black Forest forest while holding 4 dead chickens. This area was not so dangerous that Liam could still enter it.
Liam then went a little deeper into the forest so he came to a wooden cage that looked broken.
"Free to make it well."
Using the knife he was carrying, Liam cut the chickens and spread his blood around the cage.
"Finishing is finished."
That way the whole plan to save Rachel was successfully completed.
From the start, here's Liam's plan: To get Rachel out of Teyvat territory, the train carrying Rachel needs to get past the guards. This is the problem. Due to the structure of nature, Liam cannot smuggle Rachel through any other avenue.
Liam could have bribed the gatekeeper, but the more people who knew of Rachel's smuggling, the more risky his plan became.
Therefore, Liam took advantage of Lloyd's departure. There was no way the guards would check out the outgoing train along with Lloyd's entourage so this became an opportunity for Liam.
After outside Teyvat, the train carrying Rachel stayed separated from Lloyd's entourage and in case it was intercepted, Liam used the excuse of buying a sword as Zagan's order.
As a finishing touch, Liam lives to create a fake confinement and fake Rachel's death in the Black Forest.
"It should be tomorrow afternoon Rachel has arrived at the place."
Liam sends Rachel to a village some distance from the Teyvat family's territory. The village is Borsch village.
Liam sent Rachel to Elvengrade orphanage. Why there? That was because the Elvengrade orphanage was where the protagonist of this world, that is, Zack grew up.
In Tale of the Untales Rachel is taken there by a group of adventurers, but Liam has changed that.
...***...
Rachel who was in her carriage was pensive. He could not believe that he was still alive today. He recalled the message of his master, Liam Teyvat before he got into the carriage.
"Don't ever come back to Teyvat. You're dead here. Avoid meeting with Lloyd or anyone from the Teyvat family. From now on you have nothing to do with us."
Holding tightly onto the bag of money Liam had given her as her living expense, Rachel felt grateful. He swore to avenge Liam one day.
