Vermut was by Aldric's side as long as he was unconscious even the guards and maids couldn't ask him to leave he sat down on the floor next to Aldric's bed while asleep, sure this makes the heroes want to know who Vermut is.
Mara decides to ask Andy, "excuse me... May I know who the Chimera is?", "Andy nods "his name is Vermut he is Aldric's companion and he is very attached to it"
"abs... How attached he is to Aldric", "oh they're so close okay... Let's take a look.... Um... Vermut is very fond of elus by Aldric but not anyone else... And also... Um... Aldric also often feeds Vermut a meal... Chances are because every time Vermut eats it will usually fall apart"
"oh wow they're so close.... Is he really a companion" Andy then silent for a while and the answer "yes a little difficult to explain officially he is the escort Aldric but they are really close"
Mara nodded "thank you for the information" Andy lowered his head respectfully before leaving "no problem", on the other hand Aldric started to wake up his eyes so heavy and his body so limp, Aldric looked to his right and left and saw Vermut asleep at the end of his bed.
Aldric limply grabbed onto vermut's head then stroked it, Vermut who fell asleep immediately woke up his face immediately happy snake tail directly swinging from right to left.
"hey... Good job, without you the catapult would have run out of ammo.... Hehehe.." Not long after a servant came in and saw the awakened Aldric he immediately announced it to the family and the heroes.
not long after the maid left for sure her family would come tippi Aldric shocked Mades was the first to "basic.... Look at you you almost died anyway why you're on the front lines it's so dangerous and reckless"
"...! Mades ? You're here ?" Mades nodded "yes I was called here because I heard the Abyss attack... In your town", "ah... So you guys destroyed the barrier ? Thank you dad"
Mades nodded shyly "whatever it is.", "oh yes Mades.... You're from Bacchus, right ?" Mades nodded "i-iya why?", "i was just from Bacchus yesterday... And I heard your origins..."
"...hh... um... Well... What do you think" Aldric smiled faintly "i think it's amazing... You were born in such a harsh environment but still choose the path where you help and save others... That's great"
Mades's face flushed red and he pulled his hoodie down "um.um thanks...", "oh yes... Mades do you know red?", "um... He's my brother"
"....huh ?", "it's a little hard to explain that when I was thrown into the streets before I became a hero I was a thief like you know until I was drawn into the Celestial world and that's where I became a hero... At first I wanted to become a mercenary if I was old enough but pahlwan I think it's better"
"are you angry that you were dumped by your own family ?" Mara shakes her head "no... It may sound cruel to you but in Bacchus it is normal. They are not sure I am strong enough to live among the nobles so throwing me into the streets is one way... Honestly, I was going to set up a nursery later in Bacchus, but I saw the chance to meet the king"
Aldric nodded in understanding not long after the rest of the heroes and their families until they had a snack of books and even musical instruments to entertain him.
"you say you failed in attacking a city led by a boy ?" the voice in the singahsana but the voice was like a woman a little heavy... Echoed... And so authoritative.
"favour your honor... I'm sloppy... I think the negotiations will be smooth", "even if the negotiations are not smooth is not it you have a 1 to 10 army how can you lose ?"
The Jugger knight ran out of words he did not know what to answer until Lilithra's voice behind him gave an excuse of "noble one... I was there and I saw the morale of the troops there was so high because their leader was by their side throughout the battle... In addition, you really did not think they would do a flank to our abyss siege... Please understand"
"i've reminded you how many times ? And I won't be tired of reminding you humans can't be underestimated... Because it might be the last mistake you make but still this is an embarrassing defeat"
Jugger knight who knelt down resignedly "just the law as you want", "hm.... This failure of yours I will publish to the public so that everyone can see it how about it ?"
Jugger knight nodded "if that's what you want please... I deserved it", "well disperse" the crest was gone and then the Jugger knight and Lilithra went to a room with a sofa where they sat "ah.... Thank you without you maybe the punishment would be worse"
Lilithra nodded "no problem" then a female figure with a book floating around her came sitting on the other side of the sofa "I heard everything.... I see it all to be honest I'm surprised you lost but still I feel good that Aldric can still live"
"what do you mean ?" jugger Knight said he was not happy with the presence of the woman who had just arrived "I mean I'm glad Aldric is alive, you know I always wanted to recruit him he's been on my list for quite a while"
"it's just that he's not interested in power or magic" "really ? Or is it all because of the way you offer it ?" Jugger knight kept silent for a while he knew he was not the best at negotiating or picking words.
"your way of offering it is so aggressive... He's obviously scared, right ? Of course he refused... I'll take a different approach and I'm sure I'll make it"
"didn't you fail the last time ?" that figure is "well... Such is. There were two masked rats that messed up and all three of my subordinates were seriously injured by it"
"oh yes when the necromancer will move... He's been inactive for 200 years" said the jugger knight as he leaned against his couch, "oh he.... Calmly he will start to be active after his assessment is complete he said next week is going to be his first stunt for 200 years.
"so where is he going to act?", "oh... He will be acting in the dwarf kingdom"
