TWELVE RING SYSTEM
026 - WHICH IS NOT TOLD

"After your guild members come here, now you come. Wh-wh-what for? Neither I nor my men have kidnapped anyone, Tere de Marcous."

That's what Ryo de Lamra said when Tere came to the mansion of the white witch. The night after Rome and Milan came.

"I didn't come to this place for long, and your welcome was just like that. Don't you miss your brothers?" tere said to Ryo.

"I haven't missed you at all since you joined that eagle guild. Anyway why don't you tell them directly that this organization is free of all charges."

"I deliberately sent them to this place, so that they would know you and someday if they needed your help they would come here."

Ryo and Tere had been friends for a long time, when they were both members of a witch organization.

At that time they were quite young, a dozen years old. Both of them have great abilities as a magician.

To be called the greatest young witch. Both are predicted to be the replacement of the head of the organization at that time.

However, in fact Tere who was more superior in terms of magic finally came out of there and joined the eagle guild.

At that time Tere was the son of a noble couple of rank Marques level one.

However, he refused to succeed the head of the witch organization and also succeeded his father as Marques.

Tere's joining the eagle guild was in pursuit of a woman who later became his wife.

The beautiful female member of the guild and party accidentally met her as she carried out her mission.

From that meeting they fell in love and got married, before long they had children.

Unfortunately the happiness did not last long, because Tere's son and wife died.

Shortly afterwards Tere was asked to become the head of the eagle guild and he accepted.

Let go of his noble title and also no longer part of the witch organization.

Now his younger brother who became the successor of Marques after his father who also died.

About nearly 25 years he became the head of the eagle guild, it turns out he felt tired and had to find a replacement, but has not found it.

"Now what do you want?" ask Ryo de Lamra later.

"I want to retire from taking care of the eagle guild, who do you think is suitable to replace it?"

Ryo de Lamra looked at Tere as if without saying anything Tere understood the meaning of the incomprehension.

"I want to calm down in my weapon age, sit sweetly while scattering the money from corruption," Tere said, holding a smile.

Ryo de Lamra breathed his heavy breath.

"The two guild members who came earlier they saw had great strength. Although I'm sure their strength is suppressed but I can feel the flow of mana in their bodies" Ryo said.

"They are indeed great, even now they have entered the S+ rank and become a party known to many people."

"Why don't you make one of them your successor?"

"I told them that, but they didn't want to. The woman said that she would definitely go back to where she came from, while the other one would travel the world again" Tere said.

Indeed, he had said it to Milan before but the woman refused on the grounds as he said Tere.

After saying that to Milan he also told Rome, but Rome also did not want to because he had to find out the truth of the death of his parents and avenge them.

Hearing the rejection of the two children he could not do anything, maybe after this he had to find again who could replace him as the leader of the famous guild.

Because if one chooses a substitute it can be a bad thing later for the continuation of the guild.

"That means you have to find another one."

"You don't want to retire from here? You've been the head of this organization for a long time, share it with others. You're too greedy." Tere simply said that.

"If I could then I would flatten your head with the ground. You're supposed to be here, not even me you're burdened."

The remark revealed in the past when it should have been Tere who continued as the head of the Witch organization and not even Ryo.

Because even though one place organization and study there, but Tere first entered.

Tere's strength had also been above Ryo up until this point, but Tere instead went out of there joining the eagle guild.

When the previous head of the witch organization died, Ryo eventually replaced to become the head of the organization.

Ryo initially rejected that, but it was a direct request from the higher-ups of the existing organization.

Ryo eventually became the leader. Although in his hands the organization became large and known to many people.

"I know you're capable of all this, so I purposely gave it to you. And the higher-ups of the organization prefer you, the second child of the duke and Duchess pair."

It seemed like the real reason the higher-ups of the organization chose him was not because he had great strength, but because he was the son of the duke and Duchess, where they were the rulers of the territory.

Ryo takes issue with it initially, but then he doesn't care anymore and finally decides to take care of the organization.

All the problems and conflicts were actually over a long time ago and the two were also reconciled but there was still a side that made them sometimes involved one debate that usually occurs between brothers.

Ryo accepts that he is the head of the witch organization as well as Tere who enjoys his role as the head of the Eagle guild.

They talked to each other until the night was getting late and then Tere decided to go back to the temple and rest his old body if exposed to the night wind would be painful.

***

In the morning the old woman who had asked the guild for help to find her son, now came back.

The old woman ascertained whether it had been found what had not.

"Your son is still in search, Madam." So Tere said trying to calm the old woman.

"When will it be found? I miss her so much" said the old woman.

"Still working on it, soon it will be found. Madam just wait at home." Now Milan tried to calm the old woman.

Although they were sure the remark would have no effect on the woman because she already missed her son so much.

Naturally as a parent loses his child there is something very painful.

The old woman repeatedly wiped away her tears that had fallen on her cheeks, because she felt that Milan and Rome had finally decided to take the old woman back to her home.

Once there Milan Roma continued to try to tell the old woman to be patient waiting until her son was found.

After that they decided to go directly to the next mission, which was to go to the next city to meet one of the sects there and ask if they were involved in the kidnapping.

Milan and Rome were hoping that when they got there, they would get what they were looking for, not from the sect, but rather useful information.

If they don't get any other information they don't know where else the girl is because after this is all over then they are sure that their mission is doomed to fail.

Both Milan and Rome could not be willing if the mission they did was a failure because all this time when they carried out the mission everything was successful and produced something satisfying.

Actually the distance from the capital to the next city is not far, so they decided to fly maybe if at that speed they will be up to a few more hours.
