Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

Undoubtedly, this war festival saw Eredman suffer a great humiliation.

The meticulously planned war festival was intended to revive family traditions and mark a firm step towards reclaiming the family's former glory, but not only was it ridiculed and taught a lesson by the confident Yuri, but the strong attendant he had recruited from outside turned out to be a vicious wolf, nearly causing a huge chaos. It was truly a misstep among missteps.

To make matters worse, the person who resolved the situation with Gill was Reiger, someone from Yuri's side.

And Eredman?

He couldn't do anything and just stood there dumbfounded.

By the time he reacted, everything had already ended, and Reiger and Yuri had gained tremendous prestige, while he alone became the laughingstock of many, losing his composure completely.

For Eredman, this was indeed a severe blow.

As a result, Eredman retreated into his room and avoided seeing anyone after returning home, as if he felt too ashamed to face anyone.

Yet, his actions led even Mitis, who had been somewhat fearful of him, to start despising him.

What was this? Childish behavior?

Hiding after making a mistake, was this the behavior of a mature man, a man about to take over as the head of a marquis family?

His father, who had always seemed so decisive and formidable, turned out to be just a paper tiger, with an emotional resilience even weaker than his own?

Disgraceful, indeed very disgraceful.

Not just Mitis, even Isu, who had picked himself up from the ground, looked noticeably annoyed.

"All the aftermath of the war festival is being handled by Sister Yuri, even brother Safaz helped a bit, but our father just hid away and completely neglected the festival he caused, how can this be right?"

This was so bad that even a 9-year-old child couldn't bear to watch.

This time, Eredman really had disgraced himself all the way to his grandmother's house, losing all authority in front of his own children.

"How is Mr. Reiger's injury?"

Mitis seemed unwilling to speak another word about her disgraceful father and shifted her concern towards Reiger's condition instead.

"It's fine now,"

Reiger raised his hand and gave it a shake, indicating that he had fully recovered.

Yesterday, in a desperate move to protect Yuri, Reiger had used his hand to block Gill's powerful slash, resulting in a large gash on his left hand.

Gill had clearly used full force in that slash, bursting forth in a critical moment and breaking through the wind wrapped around Reiger, failing to block the slash.

However, it ultimately mitigated some of the force, and with "Lamu" enhancing his 'endurance', the wound Reiger sustained wasn't serious at all.

As for the several minor cuts he got from completely abandoning his defense during the fight, those were even less of an issue.

So, yesterday Reiger used "Diya Flatel" to treat himself, easily healing all his wounds.

Now there weren't even slight injuries on him, so there was no need for concern anymore.

"That's good to hear."

Mitis also relaxed her expression.

It seemed that the girl was quite concerned about Reiger's injuries as well.

"If there's nothing wrong, I'll go find Yuri," Reiger said to Mitis and Isu, "She just sent someone to call for me."

Mitis understood instantly.

"Is it because of a visitor?"

Mitis implied.

"Probably so."

Reiger nodded.

After the declaration of the end of the war festival yesterday, the Francel family, amidst post-festival affairs, also welcomed quite a few visitors.

They were distinguished guests from various regions, all nobles invited by Eredman to watch the war festival. Now that the festival had ended, it was unlikely they wouldn't visit the Francel family and greet Yuri.

They were also quite interested in Reiger, who had displayed remarkable abilities during the war festival, and one after another expressed their desire to meet him to Yuri.

Reiger was aware of this situation but chose not to meet them.

He could guess the thoughts of these so-called elite with just his knees.

Wasn't it all about being impressed by his abilities and attempting to woo him, or at the very least, establish a favorable connection?

He was tired of these high society actions.

Thus, citing recovery from injuries as a reason, he turned down all those requests for meetings, leaving it all to Yuri to handle.

Yuri knew Reiger disliked such matters, and she herself preferred that Reiger properly recover from the injuries sustained because of her; therefore, she unhesitantly blocked all the nobles' requests for meetings, preventing them from disturbing him.

Yuri even dispatched knights to patrol in the city of Wendini to see if there were any suspicious figures lurking, probably as a precaution to prevent anyone with hidden agendas targeting Reiger from causing trouble in Wendini.

Thanks to that, Reiger had a very peaceful day yesterday and this morning, free from any disturbances.

But this time, Reiger seemed to be about to meet some particularly special guests.

"I hear someone quite influential from the capital was sent here, specifically asking to meet me by name. Even when your sister mentioned that I was recovering, the person expressed willingness to stay at the Francel household and wait until it's convenient for me,"

Reiger shrugged and said.

"I don't want to put your sister in a difficult position, so I guess I'll meet this so-called influential figure tentatively."

Since Yuri had specifically sent someone to call him, it indicated the person's status was certainly not low, otherwise, Yuri wouldn't even be unable to refuse.

In that case, he might as well meet them.

"Then we won't disturb you any further."

Mitis stepped aside politely, making way for Reiger.

On the contrary, Isu continued to block Reiger's path without sensing the mood.

"When will you finally teach me magic?" Isu said with a dissatisfied face, "Are you worried that I will treat you poorly? I won't!"

"Although I don't know why, the last recorded image disappeared from the magic crystal, but I have others, we can talk in detail!"

Hearing this, Reiger's eyes twitched, and without a second thought, he turned and walked away.

"Hey!"

Just as Isu was about to call out to Reiger, someone grabbed him by the back of his neck.

"...I didn't hear wrong, did I? You actually have others?"

A voice as cold as ice rang out, causing Isu to shudder and break out in a cold sweat.

"That, that's just a magic crystal recording you all sleeping! It's definitely nothing unsightly!"

Isu hastily cried out in self-defense.

"Don't worry, Sister Mitis, I've learned my lesson this time, I would only bring out things of this nature for trading, such as magic crystals recording you changing clothes, I would definitely not take out those!"

Hearing this, a vein popped on Mitis's forehead.

Is it a question of what kind of magic crystals you're going to bring out?

Is it a question of what exactly are you recording with those magic crystals all day long!

"Come here!"

Mitis dragged Isu into a corner.

"Ah—"

Three seconds later, as Reiger turned into another corridor, he heard a scream that reverberated through the heavens.

"...What a sin."

Reiger muttered under his breath, then quickly left the place of dispute.

...

The Brillhaut family's drawing room was on the first floor.

Guided by a servant, Reiger arrived there and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Yuri's voice came from inside, prompting the knights standing on either side of the drawing room door to reach out and open the door for Reiger.

Reiger walked in, only to be immediately locked in by two gazes.

At that time, there were four people in the drawing room.

Yuri was sitting on a sofa with Marilyn standing behind her.

Across from Yuri, there were two strangers whom Reiger had never seen before.

They were a male master and servant pair; one sitting across from Yuri and the other, like Marilyn, stood behind his own master.

The man sitting across from Yuri was a 25-year-old blond youth dressed quite appropriately, bearing an uncanny resemblance to what Reiger imagined nobility to be like.

"It is finally a pleasure to meet you, Sir Reiger Brillhaut."

The noble youth actually stood up upon seeing Reiger and performed a noble's gesture without putting on airs, making a splendid first impression.

"Reiger."

Yuri also stood up.

"Let me introduce you," Yuri said with a smile, "This is Marquis Philippe Charlero from the capital."

From Yuri's simple introduction, Reiger gathered quite a bit of information.

First, this guest named Philippe not only came from the capital but also held a nobility status not inferior to Yuri's.

Although Reiger did not know the status and prestige of the Charlero family in the capital, Yuri's reference to him as "Marquis" indicated that the Charlero family, like the Brillhaut family, was one of the marquisates of the Ginath Kingdom.

Also, as he was referred to as "Marquis," he must be like Yuri, who had already taken over as the head of his family, becoming the current Marquis.

Thus, one could infer that Philippe Charlero was not only a noble from the capital but also a current Marquis who had already taken up as the family head.

"It is a pleasure to meet Marquis Charlero."

Reiger greeted the other with a calm demeanor and a slight bow.

"No need to be so formal, just treat me as a regular guest," Philippe said with a friendly smile. and then he introduced his attendant, "This is my personal attendant, named Griman, around your age, only 18 years old, yet he has already obtained the True Knight Medal for three years, a true prodigy, you two should get to know each other."

Philippe's words made Reiger glance at Griman.

Griman was also looking at Reiger, his eyes revealing a hint of combativeness.

Reiger was slightly startled, then arched an eyebrow.

He could feel it.

This Griman was a formidable opponent.

At least, he was not weaker than Marilyn.
