I Just want a Peaceful life
Angus doesn't know what kind of Magic Eyes Brigida will possess, but he feels these Magic Eyes are powerful. He assumed the Magic eye was another side effect of the ritual or experiment Brigida received in the past.
It is not rare for someone to suddenly possess a magical mutation after undergoing various experiments or complex rituals. Hence, Angus decided to keep watch on Brigida.
After ensuring that Brigida is fine, they return to their own tent. Since this minor incident, no notable events happened until they arrived at the Capital City Ashdun. It takes almost a month from the Windshire Fort to reach the capital city.
In fact, their journey could be faster, but they need to visit various cities along the way to send back the knights. They also make a lot of detours.
Fortunately, the journey is very smooth without trouble. Each time they enter a major city, they will be welcomed like heroes for ending the war. The war may be short and not affect ordinary civilians too much. But, it still makes ordinary people restless.
Until the war ends, there is always a chance their city will get invaded and they need refuge in another place. Therefore, the civilians show a lot of gratitude to them for ending the war so soon.
'It will be better if these people awaken their mana core. At least they could defend themself in emergency times. No… It's not that simple. Well, it's Leon's problem, not mine anyway.' thought Angus while glancing at the civilians outside the carriage.
Soon, everyone separates and goes to their own place. The majority of them go to the Royal Palace. While some nobles go to their own respective manors, such as Angus. Only a few important people, like generals or squad leaders, were obligated to meet His Majesty King Leon.
The five Altras also will stay at the Royal Palace until their job and workplace are decided. Anna and Brigida also follow Jayna to stay at the Royal Palace, making all the Royal Guards shiver momentarily.
Entering his manor, "Brother, welcome back!!" Jason, Angus' eldest brother, welcomes Agnus in front of the manor.
"Brother Jason, long time no see. How are you doing? It's rare for you to go outside Freyspire (Angus' hometown)." replied Angus.
"And buried under paperwork?! No fucking way! Now, understand why you don't want to take the head position and Father is happy to give me more authority to take care of our territory." retorted Jason.
"Hahaha… So, how is Mother?" asked Angus.
"She is fine. Nagging and clingy as usual, especially after Father was stationed in the border…" replied Jason.
The two brothers chatted with each other without awkwardness like in the past. Since Jason handled most of their territory affairs, he became more mature and somehow missed his brothers, especially Angus.
Although their relationship is not too close, like Vergil with Angus, he still cares about his younger brother. After knowing Angus is going to the frontline and experiencing various deathly events, he couldn't help but worry and decide to open himself to his youngest brother.
He doesn't know when it will be the last time he will have a pleasant chat since he knows how magnet trouble his youngest brother is. Not to mention, he also hears a rumor that the Daughter of Warchief Might take an interest in Angus.
"Hahaha… So, you beat her and she suddenly takes an interest in you?! Are you sure you didn't have any secret affair with this beastman girl?" teased Jason.
"Shut up!! How would I know that the Beastman race has such a masochistic culture regarding love interests? Besides, I am not beating her. I almost killed her. If Aunt Extalia didn't stop me, I would really kill her for hurting Jayna." retorted Angus.
"*Sigh* Sometimes I miss you when you are not a troublemaker and rushing ahead. Well, as long as you are safe, it is fine." said Jason.
*Knock* *Knock* Suddenly, the two brothers hear someone knocking on the room door.
"Come in." replied Jason.
"Excuse me for the sudden intrusion, Young Master Jason and Young Master Angus. There is a group of knights outside the manor. They want to meet with the Young Master Angus." said the Head Butler Pavlon.
"A group of knights? Who do they belong to?" asked Jason with a frown.
"I believe they are from the Extermination Squad." replied the Head Butler Pavlon
"Extermination Squad?! Brother, did you know about this?" asked Jason with worry.
Everyone knows the Extermination Squad is a special squad that works like a secret government service. They have the authority to catch any noble on the spot as long as they can prove them guilty. Basically, they are akin to law enforcers for the noble.
Hence, many nobles disliked getting close to or dealing with the Extermination Squad. However, Jason knows his youngest brother has some connection with this enforcer squad through his work as a researcher in the past.
"Nope. I don't have any appointments with them." replied Angus casually.
"Hmm… Let's meet them first, then." said Jason.
As soon as they came out from the manor, "Are you Baron Angus Victory?!" asked the Extermination Squad Leader coldly.
"Yes, I am." replied Angus calmly.
"Baron Angus Victory, you are under arrest for breaking the military law and charged with treason." said the Extermination Squad Leader as he signaled the other knight to apprehend Angus.
"What?!!" exclaimed Jason in shock.
Before the Extermination Knight could touch Angus, he suddenly stepped aside and avoided getting touched with a smirk.
"Baron Victory, I suggest you do not resist!!" said the Extermination Squad Leader coldly.
"Wait.. Wait… This must be a mistake!! My brother is a high noble and just returned from the frontline!" retorted Jason while trying to stop the Extermination knights.
"Heir of Victory, I suggest you do not get involved in this matter unless you want to implicate the whole Victory family." said the Extermination Squad Leader.
"Who do you…" retorted Jason.
Before he could speak further, "Brother!!" called Angus while shaking his head.
Noticing Angus' gesture, "But.." replied Jason.
"It's okay. I will take care of this myself." Angus reassured his brother with a smile.
Hearing this, the Extermination Squads somehow felt relief. Although their rank is not high, they know Angus is one of the high nobles they couldn't touch despite their identity as Extermination Squad. If they wanted to, they didn't want to catch Angus in the first place.
However, they already got orders from the above and warrant to catch him. So, they need to do their job properly.
"Besides, did you forget my title when I was a child? It's been a while since I played hide and seek. Let's see how capable the Extermination Squad is." said Angus with a playful smile.
Hearing this, "Hurry, catch him!!" ordered the Squad Leader.
Unfortunately, they do not match Angus' speed and dodging skills. Despite being close to him, none of them could touch even a single hair of Angus while he strolled towards the manor gate.
Even after the Squad Leader joined with his knights, they still couldn't touch Angus. They feel like an invisible barrier surrounding Angus prevents them from touching him. In fact, Angus didn't cast any barriers but only dodged them with his skill.
They are like babies trying to grasp Angus from a distance. There is no way they could touch Angus. Even the prodigy Brigida couldn't touch Angus when he was serious, much less these knights.
"Urgh… Baron Victory, stop resisting or we will be forced to use lethal action." said the Extermination Squad leader.
"Go ahead! I don't mind it. Though I doubt it will be any different. Anyway, Brother, I will go first. It's nice to chat with you." said Angus before disappearing from the spot.
Everyone is surprised at this since Angus is completely surrounded by the Extermination Knight and has no way out. Hearing Angus' last sentence, Jason could only shake his head with a smile.
"I suggest you give up on searching for him. Even my father couldn't find him if he decided to hide himself when he was still a child, much less now." said Jason before returning to the manor.
Hearing this, the Extermination Squad couldn't help but leave the manor dejectedly. They heard a rumor that Angus may be able to teleport at long distances. If Angus is truly teleported, it will be hard for them to catch this noble.
Meanwhile, Jason, who returns to his room, has a solemn expression. No one knows what he is currently thinking.
After being silent for a while, "Pavlon, contact our intelligent people. I want to know who is targeting my brother and why?!" ordered Jason.
"As you wish, Young Master Jason." replied the head butler nearby.
Jason is not stupid and could clearly see that his brother knew about this problem from the start, especially with his calm and playful reaction. Few people know that Angus is one of the most influential people in the Heart Kingdom.
