The Return of the Eternal Hero
Meaning of Name Leonhart - Chapter 19

Leonhart Castle - April 15, 537

After Reina defeated and killed Count Hewiis Alaric and his army decided to remain at the Defense Headquarters on that day and would make the journey home tomorrow morning

So on March 8 all the Leonhart soldiers began to spend their time resting and their evening partying celebrated their victory

The next day on March 9th as promised after cleaning up all the mess from the party last night they set out to return to the city of Leora

Their journey was quite slow as many soldiers were on foot and most of the carts were used for those who were injured and unable to walk

They had 5 stops to rest and night they camped, with the soldiers taking turns to supervise the situation around at night

All the things that happened on the 10th are quite the same as what happened on the 9th, the difference is that they had to rest 6 times because there was one horse that fell due to not being able to pull the cart again

After resting they exchanged the horse that pulled the wagon with the horse that was ridden by some soldiers

On the way home they did not encounter any problems because they were so numerous that even the bandits would not try to intercept them

While monsters do not even appear at all because it is currently a blue moon where monsters do not move much

Then on March 11 in the afternoon they finally arrived in the city of Leora, when everyone came to greet them

Everyone cheered and praised Leonhart's name and Alaric felt very happy to see the bright and happy faces of his residents after seeing them all return to their good state

In the evening everyone in the middle of the city did a party of course Reina and Alaric also participated there but Alaric was more watching than to join in celebrating

He delivered a few speeches in front of everyone and they started partying and after that Alaric returned with Reina and Edward to his castle

It's not that Alaric doesn't like parties but he just feels that it's too early for them to celebrate something, he wants to celebrate when his main goal has been achieved

A few days later the news of Leonhart's victory began to spread across the continent and Alaric's abilities began to be known to everyone

One day after the news spread the Bargos army finally reached their territory, despair enveloped the entire region

Those who had a lot of money began to move to other regions because they were afraid that they would become enemies of Leonhart

Those without money can only hope that their lives will not get any worse

And the next day the new Marquis Bargos retracted their accusations and announced that the evidence submitted by the previous Marquis Bargos was false evidence and all the cunning of the previous Marquis Bargos had finally begun to be uncovered one by one

Many people began to be disappointed with the Bargos family and this made the name Bargos eventually began to fall from the view of the community

Some of the engagements planned by the Bargos family were cancelled by others and even some of the Marquis Bargos' married children were divorced by their spouses

Meanwhile, rumors about cooperation between the central government and Marquis Bargos eventually became the warmest conversation

And made the King finally intervene to solve the problem, after a deep investigation of several nobles who were found guilty in harsh laws and their titles were revoked

In addition, they were also kicked out of the kingdom because it was considered to have damaged the good name of the kingdom, The King sent a letter of apology to Archduke Leonhart for the incident and invited Archduke Leonhart to come to the palace

"What shall we do with this letter, my lord?"

Sebastian asked about the letter given by the kingdom, of course, this is an important letter because it is a direct invitation letter from the King

"Remember, tell me I'm very busy trying to sort out all the problems that have happened due to the war"

Sebastian was surprised that he did not expect that Alaric would reject him even if his title was Archduke, rejecting the king's call was something of a great insult

"But my Lord, this letter is from the King"

"Why then? Right now the ones with the need are their side, if they want to apologize then do it right... Those who should have come here as a sign of sincere apology—"

Alaric wanted to emphasize to the Kingdom that if they still thought that Leonhart was their follower who wagged his tail for them then they were wrong

Alaric would unhesitatingly show hostility to the kingdom if they did not treat Leonhart well as it was now they who needed to bring Leonhart's power to their side

"Okay, my lord"

Once again Sebastian could not answer Alaric's words and could only follow and admire him

Alaric who was in front of him was the perfect outer leader whom he had dreamed of

Sebastian is not a person who was born in the Leonhart region but from childhood he always wanted to be part of Leonhart after understanding how the hero figure of Leon Hart he read in his book

'True this is the feeling I used to feel when reading the story of the hero'

Alaric also has the same magic eyes as the hero he read in his childhood and now how Alaric's attitude really makes Sebastian feel like dealing with the real Leon Hart hero

That feeling is not wrong because now he really does it

"Then I will reply to his letter, during my lord's night"

"Good night Sebastian"

Sebastian walked out of Alaric's workplace and Alaric was still sitting in his chair with his face covered in his face that was staring up at the ceiling of the room

'Damn how my old nature began to come out again'

What Alaric meant was how Alaric played with the higher-ups of the Bargos army, who intentionally killed three of them to instill fear in the remaining ones

Alaric chose to leave the most timid person so that he would be more easily moved by Alaric

It may still be tolerable because Alaric is someone who will do anything to achieve his goals

But there is another thing that he really cannot tolerate is how the feeling of happiness arises in him after he saw the reaction of Stewart Bargos after his father was killed by Alaric and the feeling of happiness he felt playing with Alphonso

For him he was indeed someone who was cruel but he did not want to enjoy the cruelty, the feeling that used to arise when he began to avenge him and began to grow bigger

The old feeling he felt when he saw his enemy asking for mercy from him was the best for him

But he managed to hold him back so that he did not become someone who was crazy about the cruelty because it would damage him

"Ga-Wire! the bad memories from the past I've been holding back are starting to come back"

Along with Alaric who started to lose consciousness suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door in his room, Alaric immediately covered his eyes when he heard the knock

"This is my sire *****"

"Who?"

Alaric could not hear it clearly as his consciousness began to dissipate

"I *****"

"Come in"

Without hearing clearly Alaric allowed the person to enter, and the door opened even though it was faintly seen someone in maid clothes entering

"Please get the soldiers to take me to-"

Without being able to finish his sentence Alaric had already fallen unconscious

"All right, my lord"

Said the female maid who had entered but she instead closed the door of Alaric's office
