A Journey no End Chapter 69
When I opened my eyes, I didn’t even bother getting out of the soft bed. I just clapped my hands, summoning the butler who stood near the door. A white-haired old man in a perfectly tailored suit responded to the sound.He gave a deep bow of his head.“You called me, Master Konoha?”“Yeah, I’d like my morning coffee, Sebastian.”“I’m Hermes.”“I’d like my morning coffee, Hermes.”Still sleepy, I lay back down on the bed.I can't get enough of this bed. I’m not into luxury stuff, but this is heavenly. My quality of sleep increased tenfold after experiencing this bed.I don’t desire wealth, but this life is not that bad at all. Having lots of money means I can sleep all I want. Just do what I want. Eat what I want.This proves the saying wrong: Money can’t buy happiness. Money can buy happiness. Better food, better clothes, better life.Everything is better with money.But this is just a borrowed dream.Currently, I’m living in Aster’s mansion. I know Aster is wealthy, but I never thoug

Is this okay?At first, I was happy about her taking me shopping, but after quite a time, I started to feel ashamed.We hang out together around the city under her care. By the way, her city is far away from the royal capital. The city is called Springwood city. A city surrounded by mountains, vast green forest, and wide grassland perfect for rising cows.Rice fields, farms, ponds, and many more things connected to agriculture can be found here. Aster also owned a private airship to transport her goods to other cities.The city is booming in wealth. People are nice and hard working. Every time we pass by, people always come to say “Hello” or wave their hands toward Aster.Her people loving her proves that she is truly a wonderful person.Good looks and kind heart… She is near perfect. Boys that don’t see her charms are truly blind. If I was a man, I would choose her to become my wife immediately.“Are you fine, Konoha? You’re walking too far behind me.”The glances of “Who is that gir

There are lots of days before the royal capital party happens. Felt a little ashamed staying at Aster’s mansion. I went outside and decided to do a monster quest in the city adventuring guild.I don’t want to spend my whole day lazying around. If I did, I’ll become fat. Something I don’t want. My movements want rusty and want to be in top shape every time.Aster was supposed to come with me, but she had something to attend to.Standing in front of the quest board, I’m carefully picking a quest that is appropriate for me.There are lots of monsters and monster quests posted. The Dragon, a terrorist and evil cultist called the witch cult.That’s why this quest board is overloaded with posters. Some posters are buried by other posters.They are so active these days.And the kingdom is not doing anything significant to stop them. This kingdom sure is useless.“This one is great… A subjection quest on taking down an evil squid called the king of the sea. The reward was 5,000 gold plus a ba

Arriving at the Malie seaport’s adventuring guild. Before entering, I turned my glance at the siblings.“We've been talking for quite some time now… I still don’t know your name.”“The name is Ron. I’m going to be a great fisherman in the future and this is my little sister Ran.”“I’m Konoha… Konoha travel.”“I know you presented me with your identification card earlier.”This boy should have lots of work to do on his attitude. Glad that I finally know their names.I pushed the wooden door and went inside the guild.I was in immediate surprise. The inside of the supposed to be crowded place was empty. There is no receptionist or waitress at the guild bar. The dust is already piling on the table and cobwebs on the ceiling.“How long wasn't this place clean?”“I’m sorry that we can’t clean… There are lots of problems we should handle that’s better than cleaning this empty place.”The voice is coming from a woman with her head down on the table.I didn’t notice her because she was wearin

I’ve finished the quest. The battle didn’t come out easy, but in the end, after throwing huge lightning at the Kraken multiple times. I defeated the monster, finiReng the quest.I got the gold reward and the magic book. The salmon was said to be sent to my address. Since I don’t have one. I got extra money instead.The end was awkward since the one giving my reward was the guild master, Leafa. I could tell that she was still angry with me.She handed me the reward and, without meeting my eyes, without saying anything at all.People thanked me a lot and invited me to a feast.But since I have to go back to my mansion. I refused.Being at the feast together with Leafa would be more awkward. I didn’t even say anything to her before leaving.Leaving the city, I snuck into the dark alley and activated my magic.“Switch!”I still have the detection of my knife that was left on the rooftop of the guild. I switched with my knife and got back to Springwood City faster than the speed of light.
A Journey no End Chapter 74
The day had come, the day of the royal party. The party was dedicated to the heroes who fought very hard against the monsters attacking the city two weeks ago. It is supposed to be impossible for a commoner like myself to be invited to such a luxurious event. The only reason I’m here is that I’m about to get a heroic award from the kingdom for the bravery I showed on the battlefield.To be honest, I’m only after the reward.No matter what people say. Money is still money.Riding a carriage together with Aster seating opposing to mine. My outfit was a stunning yellow dress with a white underlining color. Cute frills and elegant, simplistic style.Even though I said it was simple. Wearing this beautiful dress and looking at myself in the mirror. I barely recognized myself.I look like a noble lady.My skincare and body care paid off.To girls, appearance is everything after all. I don’t want to look stupid in front of the crowd.“Are you feeling nervous, Konoha?”“No, No, No, No, No, No

Discomforting… I also feel the same way. He approached me with a presence that he knew me. The same way, I felt the same way. But I have no idea who he was.“Are you okay little lady?” Asked William.“Sure, I’m fine…”His movements are very fast. I saw it with my naked eye and I’m sure I was able to dodge the fist on my own. Before I did, this kind-looking man stopped his fist. His speed is at the same level as Princess Noah.“Forgive his rudeness… Are you an acquaintance of Aster?”“Yes…”“Thank you for saving my friend William. You’re truly different from everyone here. I’m glad someone like you is the fiance of the princess who’ll inherit the throne.”Aster said.“The decision is not with me… Yusael will be the one deciding her future… On behalf of the Vermillion family. I deeply apologize again. Enjoy the party.”“You’re so humble… Future king.”“That’s not my decision.”William left and walked with a straight head. After bowing his head toward me, piercing glances were all direct

“Hermes… Is there anything we can do to stop them?”“I’m afraid there is no way… Master Konoha has already accepted the duel. She’s on fire herself. Seems like she’s holding back her fist all this time.”“Hermes, you noticed the bloodlust earlier.”“As a former assassin… I could sense even a pinch of bloodlust. If someone has threatened your life, as a living human, the natural response is to fight back.”Aster and Sebastian look so worried.I’m Aster’s acquaintance. There was a possibility that this rotten prince would turn his anger on Aster later. I can’t drag down Aster because of my actions.I don’t want that.“Zenon… Promised me that you won’t put a finger on Aster if I win this duel.”“I may not look like it, but I’m a man of my word. Aster is beautiful but not my type of woman. I don’t have a single interest in her.”“Then, you’re interested in me? You pervert.”I pointed my index finger to him.“Don’t get the wrong idea, Kanna… You might be cute, but that’s all you have. I do
