Anyway, the moment I rushed out of the Latreia house the plan ended up as a failure.
If it's become like this, I think it should be a good move to return Zenith to the house at once.
However, I wanted to let Zenith look around the town to a bare minimum since I felt indignant because of Claire's treatment towards Zenith.
Still.....it is a careless thought.
It would be better to aid Cliff in his growth to adulthood by completely repressing the Latreia.
Such a future like that is still not confined.
"Aisha, what do you think?"
".....Eh?"
I'm troubled, I need consultation.
Let's listen to Aisha's opinion.
"Do you think it should be good to send mother back to home at once?
Or else, staying at this house for a short while and showing her around the town visiting several places during any free time would be good?"
After listening to that, Aisha started thoroughly considering it while crossing her arms.
However, she immediately raised her face up and looked towards Cliff.
"Is this house really safe?"
"Yes, it's a small house but it's expected that the Latreia can't just simply interfere here, it will become a big problem if it did."
"While aware of the matter of the big problem, the possibility for the Latreia to interfere?"
"It should be almost non-existent. Since from their standpoint this is also the same for their house."
Standpoint, huh.
That old woman is a person who gives priority to her pedigree, probably taking such things into consideration.
She is stubborn and an unpleasant person to deal with but her mind is not the one at fault.
"I think it's fine that way."
With her arms still folded, she said that.
"But perhaps, that house.....that person, Zenith's mother who ended up becoming like that, didn't feel like she had much value for them.....or so I think."
Certainly.
For the Latreia, Zenith's utility value should have been low.
That is why Cliff frowned that time, it's just how people accept the common knowledge of this country even if it's something like getting married to a partner who can't even talk.
The marriage link will become frail due to such a thing being forced upon.
If you think about it, it might become possible to take back the original source of support from the Fittoa Region search party.......
If that's the case, I won't be paying the asking price if the demands comes.
It should be fine to see it as a non-existent relationship considering such feelings.
Treating someone like that should not exist.
"This one time they discovered how scary onii-chan can get, they didn't even give chase to us just now.....I don't think they have such an obsession with Zenith."
Yeah, that's right.
After leaving the Latreia house, I returned back while leisurely walking but no one was pursuing us.
I thought the guards would at least be able to pursue us in order to report back.
I can't understand whether they might be afraid of me, or they just simply gave up.
But, she was aware of my friendship with Cliff.
I don't know where she got that information from but......anyhow, now that we've come this far, if it's found out that I've taken refuge here I'll leave it as is.
"I think it should be alright to live in a place of power where we can be protected from the opposition rather than being able to live in a nearby place in some way or other."
"I see."
The risk is great but the return is little.
That means it's unlikely that they will regain the higher-hand.
As excepted of Aisha.
She nicely considered it.
"If that's how it is, Rudeus."
