A God Killed Me By Accident, But I Reincarnated As The 4th Son Of The Marquis

Volume 8 Chapter 56: A Thief?

Volume 8 Chapter 56: A Thief? 

"Keith, are you really not going to go?" Sarah questioned as she wore a yellow dress. She was not the only one: Alfia and the others were the same. They were all dressed in their formal clothes and were prepared to go out. 

Today was Carolyn's wedding. 

"Nope, I'm not planning to go to the wedding. I'm on house arrest."

"House arrest only meant for you not to enter the academy." That house arrest was for the academy. It was never meant to keep Keith from going outside. They couldn't stop him as well. Aidiun and Tennol didn't care if he left or not; those two were loose around the child.

"And I bet she doesn't want to see me there."

"Keith."

"You guys do you. I'm going to be staying home." Keith waved his hand as he headed into his room. That only caused Alfia to frown, "I know you don't like it, but don't act so childish about it!"

"Nope. I'm not her friend anymore, and it would be weird if I went as well." Keith slammed his door shut.

"…Hah."

"There's really nothing we can do about this," Scarlet tapped her shoulder. It was impossible to make the man go with them. 

"But he's been acting so strangely these past few days," Keith didn't say anything as he always headed to his room. It was pretty strange since Fira and Mir weren't allowed in either. 

"Forget him, and let's go," Alfia sighed as they left. 

"Have fun out there," Diana and the rest of the dorm mother commented as they headed out. The group decided to take a giant carriage. And that was when they had all entered the teleportation gate, bringing them to the Philosopher Kingdom.

"Woah, there's a lot of carriages." 

"Expected. It is the marriage between two of the most prominent kingdoms." Of course, there would be so many people who were invited. As the group entered, 

"Please get off your carriages here and have your envelopes ready! They will allow you to enter the island."

"They have a floating island as well?" Jack looked up at the giant island that was floating above the kingdom. 

"Apparently, it's run on mana stones."

Everyone raised their invitations and entered the island. That was when they saw a giant chapel.

"It's said that the saintess had erected it as a holy land." 

"I see," As the group continued to look around,

"Don't you think there's a little too many guards?" Everyone noticed the guards that were around. It was pretty overkill on a day like this.

"Krystal," Krystal turned around, her expression brightened, "Mother." Violet walked over to the group.

"You look so beautiful, Daughter." Violet nodded at the dress her daughter picked. Then she turned to the people behind her, "Are those your friends?" 

"Mmhmm," Krystal nodded. Violet said, "Hello, My name is Violet Rustchil; thank you for caring for my daughter."

"It's our pleasure." Everyone quickly bowed.

Krystal looked around, "Is grandpa and father here as well?"

"Mmhmm, your grandpa is here. And he's with-"

"You old grinch, do you want to fight!"  

"You bastard," Two loud voices came from the side. 

"Um, your father and grandfather are over there." Violet pointed with a wry look. Edmund was holding back Cedric while a blonde man was held back by a black-haired gentleman on the other side. 

"Grandfather! Father!" Krystal called out. When she did, Cedric stopped as he turned, "Aww, my little gem! You look lovely!"

"…Grandfather." Did you have to say something like that? She was a little embarrassed. But then she noticed Lionel and William looking at her. 

"Hello, Grand Duke Bradley, Marquis Freed," Krystal quickly bowed her head. And when they did so, the others looked at one another.

Grand Duke Bradley, Marquis Freed? Then aren't these two Keith's father and grandfather?

"Greetings to the Grand Duke and Marquis," Scarlet and Alfia quickly bowed their heads. Lionel and William tilted their head, which caused Sarah to explain, "Uncle, these are Keith's friends." Out of everyone, William only knew Sarah and Jack. 

"Hello, I hope my son hasn't caused any trouble for you all," William's expression softened. 

"He hasn't," "Actually, he has been helping us." Scarlet and Alfia quickly waved their hands. 

"...Yeah," William could only mutter at how they acted. Don't tell me...

While he was thinking about this, Sophia and Camelia soon came forward. Greeting them, Camelia grinned, "You're all so handsome and beautiful." 

"Thank you for the words." Alfia and Scarlet nodded. But as they did, they noticed two pairs of eyes staring at them. Leon and Laura had been hiding behind Sophia's legs. Sophia smiled, "Leon, Laura, why don't you introduce yourselves?"

"Mmhmm." Leon bowed, "I'm the 5th son of Marquis Freed. Leon Freed."

"I'm 1st daughter, Laura freed."

"Greetings," Alfia and Scarlet took a deep bow as well. Adorable. That was the only way to describe the duo. No wonder he always acted so crazy when it came to them. 

"Pretty." The two children continued to stare.

"Sorry about them; they haven't seen an elf and demon-kin before."

"'It's fine." It was not surprising since not many came to the northern region.

"But where is Keith?" Eric questioned. His friends were there, but the man in question was not. When that was said, Krystal and the rest didn't say anything. That only caused the adults to tilt their heads.

"He's not coming,"

"Eh?"

"It's a long story." Krystal sighed as she held her head.

"…" Cedric and Lionel looked at one another. What was going on?

"Also, do you know why there are so many guards?" Despite it being a wedding between two royalties, the number of guards was over the top.

"Oh, did you guys not get a letter?"

"Hmm?"

William raised it up, "Apparently, a thief is planning to make a move,"

"What?!" A thief? What thief?

"Apparently, they plan to steal a priceless treasure during the wedding?"

"It has to be the ring of the philosopher kingdom."

"That thing had been in the royal family till date. It's probably worth a fortune," Derek muttered.
