I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 312: Going Home

"Ahh.. If I am not wrong, you are Allard, right?" said Angus.

"Yes, young master. It's an honor that you remember me." said Allard.

"Don't be modest. You are one of the promising combatants in Sur village. Sir Abet often mentions you." said Angus.

"You praise me too much, young master. I am just an ordinary fourth-grade combatant." said Allard.

"Sure-Sure. Anyway, let's get going now. The faster I arrive there, the better." said Angus while entering the carriage.

"Yes, young master." said Allard while closing the door.

After that, they begin to depart from the manor. Although only Angus needs to be protected, the number of guards and their quality is higher than the royal academy guard during the final examination.

This shows the Victory family's prestige and strength. Moreover, each guard rides the Ersi Horse, a unique horse with high physical capability. It is said that the Ersi Horse is a combination of half horse and half-beast.

Because of this, Ersi horses could also use mana and were easy to tame. They could also keep running for weeks without needing to rest. Ersi horse is one of the best horses for long journeys and combat.

Currently, Angus and his guard get a strict security check. Because of the spy incident a few days ago, there are some strict security checks at the capital city entrance. Fortunately, as a high noble family carriage, Angus and the others didn't need to wait in the long queue.

After having various strict checks for a while, Angus finally leaves the capital city and heads towards Freyspire City. The distance between Capital city and Freyspire is quite long. Even with the advanced carriage's speed, it will still need around two weeks to a month.

This is also the major reason Angus never goes back to his house in the Freyspire City. The distance between the two of them is far. Moreover, Angus also couldn't use teleportation devices without being accompanied by his father.

While inside the carriage, 'Tch.. this is truly a waste of time. But, I can't help it since Father is quite busy in the capital city and other places.' thought Angus.

At first, Angus was supposed to be back with his father through the teleportation device. However, the Duke himself is quite busy and needs to take care of a lot of stuff in the capital city and place near it. He could only be free next month.

After King Leon's order to prepare for war, all the Duke became quite busy and needed to stay at the capital city or other places for some time. They need to prepare a lot of stuff from the supplies, weapons, and many other things.

In the end, it is better for Angus to go home alone rather than wait for his father to be free to use the teleportation device.

Looking at the beautiful scenery from the window carriage, 'Well, at least I could enjoy this peacefulness for a while. Or not..' thought Angus as he noticed some people blocking the road.

Detecting that they are only low ruffian bandits with the strongest as grade three combatants, Angus decides to leave them for the guards to take care of them. After a while, Allard and the other guard also noticed the bandit.

"Young master Angus, please hold on. The journey will be a little bit rough." said Allard from the outside.

In no time, all the bandits are routed by the guards, and they continue their journey without even caring about the surrendered bandits. It feels like they didn't encounter any bandits but only a little bit of an obstacle.

The journey continued without any more obstacles. Despite being in a hurry, they still occasionally rest in a small city or on the road to ensure their bodies are ready to handle any trouble.

Angus rarely goes out of the carriage during the entire journey and focuses on reading books. Angus didn't leave the carriage unless they stayed in the town or inn. Besides reading books, he also meditates and cultivates his chi.

After two weeks of a long journey and visiting a few small cities, Angus finally reached Freyspire City. On the way here, he already met many overestimated stupid robbers and bandits. Some of them even set us a trap to stop their movement.

Looking at the big flourishing city from far away, Angus couldn't help but be mesmerized by it. Although this is Angus's hometown, he never truly explores it since he always stays at the Victory's house and never bothers to get out.

After a few identification checks, Angus and the guards entered the city without any problem. Then, They immediately go to the Victory house in the deep of the city.

The Victory house resembles a European castle from the earth. Although it is not as large and monumental as the royal palace, it is still humongous.

Seeing the familiar house, Angus finally feels some familiarity with it. Entering the house gate, Angus finds that his mother and his two siblings are already waiting for him.

Getting out of the carriage, "Angus, welcome home." called Angus's mother, Cecilia.

"Yeah, it's good to be back." said Angus.

"Aww.. Angus, look at you now. You look so manly and grown-up." said Cecilia while pinching Angus's cheeks.

"Ow.. Ow.. stop it, mother. Hey, Vergil, help me out." called Angus.

Looking at Angus getting a lot of 'care' from their mother, the other two siblings could only smirk at Angus's fate.

After that, everyone entered the house while chatting. They go towards the dining area, where they find many foods prepared.

"Come, everyone. Let's eat first. Angus must be quite hungry after such a long journey." called his mother.

Then, everyone begins to have their meal while chatting about various things.

During the meal, "Ehh… So, you are the mysterious teacher that father is talking about?" asked Vergil.

"Mysterious teacher? Did father not tell you anything?" asked Angus back.

"Nope, he only said there will be an expert that will teach us. Father also said that I know the person himself, but I never thought it would be you." said Vergil.

"Haa.. that old man is troublesome." complained Angus

"Anyway, Angus, what will you do after you graduate?" asked Jason out of nowhere.

"Hmm… I will probably work at the research center and become one of the researchers." replied Angus.

"Just that??" asked Vergil.

"Yeah, is there anything wrong?" asked Angus back.

"Well, you see. You are in grade two even though we are still only in grade one combatant. It shows your talent is greater than ours. We think… it will be better for you to become the head of the family." said Jason.

Hearing this, Angus frowned a little bit before he replied.

"Nope, I am not interested. Besides, I am not good at handling those nobles. I even almost killed them in the past when they started insulting me. So, it is already satisfying me if I could become a researcher without any disruption." said Angus.

"I see.. Wait.. What did you mean you almost killed them?" asked Jason.

"Well, you know there is this one time, I got invited by the mischievous Jayna, and the other stupid noble happened to insult me. Of course, I gave them a little bit of a scare in the end. Hahaha.." explained Angus casually.

"Err.. I think that is not a laughing matter. But, as long as they are lower noble, you could do anything you like, except killing them, of course." said Jason.

"If I am not wrong, one of them is the son of Duke Blue." said Angus.

"D-Duke Blue??" replied Vergil and Jason at the same time.

"Don't worry. It happened a few years ago. I almost forgot about that incident if you didn't bring it up. Besides, it is just a small kid quarreling, nothing too serious." said Angus.

"Angus is right. So what if he is Duke blue's son. We, the Victory family, are stronger than them, especially with your uncle's influence. We practically have higher standing than other dukes. Still, that didn't mean we could do anything we wanted." said Cecilia.

"However, if they are messing with us, all of you don't need to worry and fight them back. Your family will always support you all." added Cecilia.

"Yes, mother." replied the three siblings.

"Anyway, Angus, how is your relationship with Lady Jayna?" asked Vergil with a teasing smile.

"What about it?" said Angus.

"Well, you know you two have already been in a relationship for a while. Did anything interesting happen between you two?" asked Vergil.

"Any interesting things happening? Well, there is." said Angus while smirking.

"Ehh.. Eh.. What is it?" Vergil didn't expect his little brother to answer his question blatantly.

"Well, it is…" said Angus while stopping his sentence.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but be interested in Angus's answer.

"It is… you will know it when you are having your own girlfriend." said Angus with a smile.

"What?!! Just that??" said Vergil.

"Yeah, you will know it if you have your own girlfriend. So, search for it if you want to know." said Angus.

At the same time, Cecilia looked at the calm Angus and couldn't help laughing a little bit.

"Fufufu… It seems I might get a grandchild soon." said Cecilia.

"Mother?!! What are you talking about." said Angus.

"Nothing, just continue your eating." said Cecilia.
