Villain's Valor: A Noble Fantasy Resurrection-Chapter 73: Alicia

73 Chapter 73: Alicia

After the initial shock from Elsa, it took a few minutes before she managed to calm down. She had already stowed her sword in her ID, went to the bathroom, and came out after about an hour.

Now we were sitting facing each other. "I think it's time to schedule a mission. We've gathered all the necessary items, plus we're short on funds now, so the easiest way to make money is by doing missions," I tell Elsa.

"What's going to happen to Ema?" she asks with concern in her voice. freēwēbnovel.com

"We can inform the guild about her situation and have them provide some protection while we're out of town," I had thought about this a few moments ago, and the quickest and easiest solution that came to mind was to inform the guild, or rather, inform our secretary. We definitely can't take them with us. I plan to stay much longer in Zone 2 this time, and then head to Zone 3.

Being higher-ranked creatures, I'll be able to gain much more experience. Plus, it's the perfect time to test out the new powers of my new sword. It will also help Elsa a lot. Considering that a thousand hours of training are nothing compared to a real battle, which can last minutes, where your life is at stake.

"We have to inform Roberto of our departure and leave him some instructions," standing up, I nod to Elsa, leave the room, and head towards the door where Ema's family is staying.

Knock! Knock!

After lightly knocking on the door, a few seconds pass, and faint footsteps can be heard running towards the door.

Crack!

The door opened, revealing Ema in her sleepwear, her hair tousled, her cloudy and confused eyes gradually gaining clarity as she smiled brightly.

"Mr. Bryan! What a surprise to find you right now. It's usually Angela who visits us often," she says excitedly.

Smiling a bit, her happiness is indeed very contagious. Patting her head, I ask, "Little Ema, where's your father?"

Ema slightly opens her eyes and looks back for a moment, then timidly says, "My father... is still asleep," she responds with her arms behind her back.

I should have known he's also a great lazy person like me, but this is on another level. It's already midday... "And your mother, Ema, is she awake yet?"

Ema nods her head, turns around, takes a deep breath, and shouts, "Mom! Someone's looking for you!"

Damn, wait, this brings back memories. Some things don't change even if you're in other worlds, I guess...

With an uncomfortable smile, Ema's mom responds bewildered.

"What's going on?! Why are you shouting like that, Ema?" Nicol asks, furrowing her brow.

"What just happened?! We're under attack!" Another voice suddenly joined the symphony of screams. Seriously, they're a very lively family.

"Why are you shouting too?!" Nicol turns to her husband, exasperated.

Nicol, after scolding Roberto, looks at her daughter, who has her index finger on her lips, innocently looking at her mother with puppy eyes.

Glancing at Ema from the corner of my eye, she's definitely pulling some kind of trick to avoid her mother's scolding. She's using her cuteness to her advantage! Damn, she's dangerous.

Nicol stares at her daughter for a few seconds, hesitating whether to scold her cute and adorable daughter. Her gaze then turns to me after all these chaotic minutes.

"H-hello," coming out of my daze, I greet somewhat awkwardly.

"What's going on?!" Roberto's voice joins in with another shout behind Nicol, with his judgmental gaze, but after seeing who it is, he calms down.

"Oh, boy, so it's you, huh. What brings you here?" he says with a yawn.

Seeing Nicol clench his fist tightly, she takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down so as not to kill her husband right now and commit other crimes in front of her daughter. Then I manage to put on a fake smile and they invite me in.

It's quite scary. I don't want to enter right now. Looking at Roberto, who apparently has no fear of death, I smile and he also invites me in. "I respect you for that." With that thought in my head, I enter the room.

We settle at the desk, although this room is almost the same as ours but a bit smaller. It still has 2 beds and its own bathroom, which is good.

"So, kid, what do you want now?" Roberto asks, raising an eyebrow.

The way he's looking at me seems like he thinks I'm going to steal or something.

"Angela and I are going on a mission and as you know, it will take a few days during which we'll be out of town," I inform them with a serious expression.

"What's the problem?" Roberto says, confused.

Surprised by his reaction, which I didn't expect at all, I remain silent not knowing how to respond.

"I don't understand. You can buy a teleportation scroll that can take you directly to the area you want to go, or pay the guild to take you there, and buy another scroll so you can return the same way," Roberto says with a very confident expression.

"If you're worried that we might be in danger, you shouldn't worry so much. Literally, this place gives you three meals a day and you don't have to worry about going out to eat. We have enough clothes and everything we need right now," Roberto continues.

Keeping my poker face, trying to hold back the urge to cry. "Of course, I just wanted to make sure. Although I'll still inform the guild about your situation to be safer. And about the scrolls, of course, I knew that."

"Well, it seems like it's not true." Ema, who had been silent until now, approaches me and looks me in the eyes saying those words.

"Don't betray me like this, Ema!" I think to myself.

After that, we started talking about some other unimportant topics.

When I left the room, I put one of my hands on my face. I couldn't believe I had forgotten about the teleportation scrolls that the guild offers to save you from traveling several kilometers...

I literally have 8 gold coins. The scroll I need to go to Zone 2 costs 3 gold coins, and for the return one, 4 coins, leaving me with just 1 miserable gold coin... Sure, this coin for poor people is an incredible wealth that would allow them to live for 4 months without problems, but for adventurers, it's nothing...

**Pov Alicia Tudor Grimald**

Bang!

Looking at the person in front of me, we have many similarities, but he is older than me. That's right, he's my older brother, Andrés Tudor Grimald. He's my brother, but also the person I respect a lot, just like my father. They are both my idols in my heart. I want to be like them, equally strong, that's how I want to be.

"Don't get distracted, sister," says Andrés. In his hand, he held an extremely shiny sword. The two siblings were in a training ground inside the castle. Around them, there could be seen a large expanse of beautiful flowers. There were two people who were watching the spectacle, to be more direct, they are the two fiancées of my older brother.

Bang!

Trying to protect myself from my brother's sword, my center of gravity wavers. This opportunity, my brother doesn't let it pass, thus ending our training. No, my training...

"You did better this time, Alicia. Keep training hard. You just need a little more and you'll reach the mid-gold rank," says Andrés consoling his sister.

Alicia nods her head at her brother's words. Behind her, two beautiful women come out.

"Come on, sweetheart, don't be too hard on my Alicia. She's very adorable," says a woman with purple hair and eyes. Her eyes looked at Alicia with tenderness. She bears an incredible resemblance to Evelin Darkwood. That's right, she was nothing more than Arabella Darkwood, the prince's fiancée. She wore a long purple dress and some flowers of the same color in her hair, adding even more attractiveness to her body.

"Don't bother her too much, Bella," a melodious and understanding voice could be heard. She was the other fiancée of the prince, Seraphine Benedetto. She wore a priestess's robe, but unlike her mother, she had blue eyes.

"No, it's okay. Thank you very much, brother, for your guidance," said Alicia, slightly lowering her head.

"You heard her, after all, my sister is not weak at all," Andrés said with a proud smile.

The four felt the space around them warp, and out of nowhere, the two people appeared in the garden.

"Tell me Noah, is it true that your son is in that forest?" Gabriel asked curiously.

Noah looked at his friend, "Yes, from what I understand, he won't be back until the academy starts."

"Mmmm," Gabriel sank into his thoughts.

"Dad! Alicia saw her father and her eyes filled with pure excitement and she ran towards him.

Gabriel snapped out of his thoughts and looked at his little daughter with love in his eyes, "Alicia, how was your training?" he asked with a warm voice.

"My older brother was helping me perfect my stance, father," Alicia replied. When she looked at the winged man next to her father, she stiffened and her expression froze. She knew the man, he was Anthony's father...

"It's nice to have you back, father," said Andrés with a worried voice.

"Greet the emperor of the empire," Andrés's two women bowed with abnormal perfection.

Andrés directed his gaze to the man accompanying his father.

"It's good to see you in good health, Duke Noah. I, Prince Andrés, welcome you to our home." Andrés greeted with a slight bow, although he was the crown prince, respect must always be shown to figures of power. Besides, the man in front of him is the second strongest human in the empire.

"You've grown well, Andrés, well done," Noah responded with a nod.

"Greet the duke of the empire," Andrés's two women performed the same perfect bow.

"U-uhmm, greetings to the d-duke..." Alicia greeted with some fear in her voice.

"Don't worry about past troubles, little Alicia, they no longer matter," Noah told her, looking her in the eyes.

"Y-yes," Alicia nodded.

"Come on, tell me more about your son," Gabriel insisted with a smile.

Everyone fell silent in surprise. They didn't expect the emperor to ask such a thing.

"I already told you, he's in the city with Finn's little daughter he found along the way. It's been 2 months since they arrived. According to what Alex told me, he killed an anomaly from Zone 2," Noah responded, furrowing his brow.

"Interesting, those types of creatures, naturally, even if they are in the silver rank, have the power of a gold rank. In what rank is your son?" Gabriel asked satisfied. Normally, it's very difficult to get information out of Noah about his children, he takes care of them well...

"Mid-Silver," Noah said.

"Being practically in a lower rank, he managed to kill a beast above his rank. Your bloodline shows in your son," Gabriel said amused.

"I suppose," Noah responded seriously.

They all fell silent and only listened to the conversation of these two monsters with human skin. They were curious about the boy who once tried to violate the princess, especially Andrés.

*****

Achoo!

Damn it, someone's talking about me... Anthony frowned, but since he knew who it was, he shrugged.

Anthony could be seen doing absolutely nothing, sitting in the chair by the window...
