It was getting hotter and so was the day. Leo and Iris decided to return to the mansion to rest for a while. However, Leo's face still looked relaxed just like that, he was quite happy when he remembered that the guild had freed him.
The rank tag bracelet that was previously brown, had now turned silver in color with a seductive luster.
He decided to resign. However, the guild master or Saka did not let a diamond in the adventurer guild just disappear. Moreover, they considered Leo's status to be a pureblood, so throwing Leo in the adventurer guild was really a pretty bad idea.
Therefore, the adventurous status of Leo is free. Leo could have been summoned at any time for the mission given by the adventurer guild. Leo is also free not to take any quests. As well, Leo is also treated the same as a high rank adventurer like a diamond. Although Diamond rank was rare in city places, most of the high ranks were in the central guilds present in the kingdom.
Even so, Saka still can not change the status of Leo's rank of Silver. Saka had spoken that it did not matter Leo's rank was Silver, but Leo's treatment of the adventurer guild was the same as the high rank which would undergo the task whenever Leo wanted.
The problem is, Saka and Yuna don't want to take a risk to find a relationship with a pureblood. Although Leo's level was below theirs, yet they couldn't offend a pureblood himself. Although, the status of Pureblood Leo is still questionable, but at least they should be on guard.
“You hungry?” Ask Leo without expression.
Leo also offered. But the truth is the hungry one is himself.
“No sir, I can still walk and hold my hunger. No problem, we will arrive at the mansion in a few minutes.” Iris replied calmly.
“We will go to the store first. I'm sure that you must be hungry heavily.” Said Leo.
Without answering, Iris embarrassedly just lowered her head. Then, they found a tavern before walking out of the city. A store that is not so crowded, but there are some customers who pass by.
Leo and Iris entered the store. In addition, Iris also put on a sad face because of the calamity that befell her. Although in his heart he was quite happy when his family members destroyed him, but he also should not show a happy-looking face or people will suspect him.
As Iris walked in, it was clear that the attention of the people was on her. They were also seen to be sad when they saw that one of the viscount princesses had to accept such an overwhelming sadness, even though they did not know what Iris was really in.
Just a Viscount's daughter, not a few people also wondered who Iris was? They're the ones who don't know who Iris really is. They were also quite wondering why everyone was staring at Iris with sadness as well as pity.
“Nona, I ordered two servings of meals commonly ordered by people here.” Said Leo to a woman who looked after the cashier as a waiter.
“Good sir, I understand. The total is twenty bronze.” Said the woman.
Besides they were also staring at Iris, they were also staring at Leo. About, who's Leo? Why does he look so close to Iris? All the statements were thrown out and made a smooth conversation in that place. Even Leo paid him no heed, even though he heard it out loud.
“I heard she's the daughter of the Viscount? Although I feel sorry for him, but isn't he no longer a noble? In a way, Viscount is not a noble in descending.”
“Sial, if Iris marries me, then her life will come back good and she loses her grief. After all, why would Iris follow a man who wasn't so obvious? See the appearance.”
“Do you not suspect that the perpetrator of this murder is that man? Sometimes someone is really manipulative, he kills the people closest to Iris, then he snobs close and gives spirit to Iris?”
“No way, the Cavendish family has a great patriarch. There was no way a figure with level five seemed to be able to face lord Reginald. Too bad Mr. Reginald had to be killed horribly.”
“I think this has something to do with the attempted murder of the mayor two days ago. After the mayor's attempted murder, it was the Viscount's murder. All the Viscounts were now actually setting up a force as they were convinced that after this it was their turn, like the viscounts in the North and west region they were quite scared after the news of the South viscount being killed. Obviously this is Stealth Brigade.” interference
Leo can hear it, but he doesn't really care even though the sneer is attached to Leo. However, who cannot calm down is Iris because she heard that statement that seemed to want to tempt her and demonize Leo's position. Iris's gaze looked extremely cynical as she looked at them, thus making them realize that Iris was listening to her.
“Do you not know that this master nearly killed the mayor? Keep talking to you! If it wasn't for me being late asking for help from Mr Leo, I would definitely not have lost my family!” Iris said boldly.
It was clear, that Iris' words made them instantly speechless. They were quite surprised when it turned out that Leo was the figure discussed recently. Which, a news report said there was a figure protecting the mayor from a sudden attack.
However, they continued the conversation which probably would not make the two people near them feel offended. Given, Leo and Iris seemed to be figures that could not be offended. Although there were some who had already underestimated Iris after Iris lost her status as the southern Viscount.
“Yes, this may be related to the Stealth Brigade. Have you ever heard the rumor that Raven almost controlled almost a quarter of the kingdom because she was involved in political interference. It's just that, prince Theo had already cleared it up even though he was heavily injured. And Raven seems to be starting over.”
“From Raven, isn't Kael cool enough? Even though he was crazy of treasures, he was a hero figure to the poor people. Stealing to the middle class is commonplace, how would it be if stealing at a residence of the Duke, Marquis and Count? The crazy thing he ever did was steal the queen's jewels that belonged to the kingdom! But you guys know? Kael did it for the poor and the people of the village.” Answer one of the others.
“Rather than listening to information from adventurers and guild masters. Doesn't it look comfortable to get information like this?” Leo propped up his chin as he looked at the plate of food before him that had just been delivered.
“In addition, I understand what Raven's purpose is. Raven only used the southern Viscount as a shield with the frills of a count treaty to Reginald. Then, Raven would gain a standing, and begin to manipulate the figure on it, Duke. And he'll rule the kingdom again? She looks very attractive.” Leo's mind when he starts eating his food. “Luckily I killed the southern Viscount so that his plan was completely hampered.”
Unceasingly implying, “If you think about it, this will look very sloppy. Raven would know an information that the death of the southern Viscount was intervening. Though not. And they would definitely hear that Iris was still alive who was the Viscount's puppet to fulfill Raven's purpose. That means, Iris is in danger, she will be held to a great responsibility to Raven.”
