Chapter 110: CH.110 Out with Father

[Alice POV]

It had been a day since Mother and Brian left to the dungeon so Brian could name Mother as the dungeon master. I really didn’t like eating alone with Father, but I had no choice. Mother and Brian should come back tomorrow luckily, so this will only last one more day.

 

“Alice, we are heading out for the day.” Father told me during breakfast.

Outside? Where? Why? What is wrong with Father. He’s been acting strange ever since he came back from his journey to see Grandfather. 

“As you wish, Father.” I answered him. “May I ask where we are going?”

“We are going to visit the guild. It’s time for you to register.” Father told me.

Guild? As in the adventurer’s guild? And he is going to have me register? Why? Why now? 

“May I ask something?” I carefully asked. I want to become an adventurer so I could easily leave the town without much suspicion from the guards, but I need to know why Father is acting like this.

 

“Of course. Ask away.” Father enthusiastically replied. 

“What happened to you? Did Grandfather say something? Is he forcing you to act this way?” I asked, letting my true feelings out. That’s the only thing I can think of. If Grandfather ordered him to let me go, Father would have no choice but to agree.

“No. This has nothing to do with Thomas.” Father answered.

“Then why now? Mother has been saying that I should be an adventurer for years, but you always said no.” I argued. “What changed?”

… I really should keep my act together. If I act like this in front of Father, he might still go back on his word.

“You know what did.” Father said.

“No, I really don’t.” I argued.

“He did. Brian. Did you hear what he can do?” Father asked me.

 

Brian did something? … Which part? He has done so many things. And he just casually lets everything go. And no one ever reacts to anything he does. It feels like everyone just assumes he can do everything. Is it because he has the system support? Or perhaps because he is a summoner? Or because he is a dungeon founder?

 

“... I’m not sure what you mean, Father. Brian has done many things, but is there an individual thing that you are talking about?” I asked, getting back to my proper noble act.

“So you didn’t hear.” Father said. “Do you know that we were attacked by sprites on our way back here?”

“Yes, I heard about that.” I answered.

“And did you know that some of the expedition died?” He continued.

“Yes. I believe that you and Brian went to the funeral fire for them.”

“I see. Well the part you didn’t know is that there were actually five deaths, but only four were burned in the fire.” Father said. “Because Brian resurrected one of the dead.”

 

…. that can’t be true, can it? No, if it is Brian he can do it, right? He already gave me a magic attribute, something that no one has ever been known to do. Resurrection might only exist in the legends of the hero and the saint, but it still exists. If Brian can do something that has never been done before, doing something like resurrection is possible.

 

“But how does that change anything?” I asked Father.

“It all comes back to the prophecy about the return of the behemoth. I always knew it would have to be someone from the Alewatch line that would eventually take that behemoth down. And with your brother’s hair being light brown, instead of blond, I believed it was destined to be you. Your brother may not have a blond haired child, so I thought it would have to be you. That is why I pushed you to be the magician from the prophecy.” Father explained.

“Then what changed?” I asked.

“I thought that because of the prophecy, I would need to keep you safe. That’s why I would never allow you to go outside and hunt monsters. I know it would help you grow, but I couldn’t take the risk. But now that I know that Brian can resurrect people, if I can get him to take you with him, I can have you level up with no risk of death.” Father explained. “That is why I want to get you registered. I want you to go with Brian and level up during your travels.”

 

YES! I want that so much. Can I really do that? Can I go see the world? Can I be with Brian? He even proposed to me. He did say he didn’t know it was a proposal, but it counts right?

 

“Yes. Then let’s go to the guild right now.” I demanded. I kept myself from yelling just to make sure Father wouldn’t change his mind.

“Just eat your breakfast first.” Father said. “The guild won’t run away.”

“Lord Watchman, we’ve been expecting you. Welcome. What may we do for you?” A receptionist welcomed us at the guild. 

“As I said in my letter, I’ll have my daughter register today.” Father said to the receptionist. “Have you prepared everything for it?”

“Yes, we are ready for it. Please come with me to an upstairs room.” The receptionist said as she led the way.

 

They were expecting us? They are ready for us? Did Father send them a letter about this?

“Now, Miss Alice, please show me your status.” The receptionist asked as we were in a private room.

I looked at Father for approval and after he nodded, I said: “Status open.”
