Demon King Priest

Chapter 174: Coming Home and Parting (2)

Count Lafayette, who lost his only daughter, had been in extreme sadness recently. For Cherie, he had devoted all his paternal love. In his opinion, the lovely Cherie was the treasure bestowed on him by the Supreme God. In order to prevent Cherie from being in danger, he did everything possible. There were people watching Cherie for almost twenty-four hours, and all the friends she made had withstood his test without exception. Every day, he would decide where she would play in advance.

In his plan, Cherie's life was not allowed to suffer even just a little bit of misfortune. Her life should always be full of sunshine, and her face should always be filled with a cheerful smile. But all this was ruthlessly shattered in the bloody murder incident more than a month ago. Cherie, who had almost never seen blood, actually watched the murderer split the maid Liss into the pieces [he didn't know Cherie almost died as well], and spent the night in the dark street full of corpse fragments.

But thankfully, Cherie did not suffer any psychological trauma. Although the matter of Liss made her very sad, she still got rid of the shadow of that night. This made him extremely grateful to the unknown seventh-level powerhouse who defeated the murderer. In order to prevent Cherie from encountering that kind of thing again, he once again strengthened the guardianship of Cherie and restricted her range of action. Although knowing that this would definitely make Cherie unhappy, he still gave the order without hesitation.

But even though he gave the order, he couldn't bear to watch Cherie upset all day. After learning that Titan Poseidon, the continent's first steel ship, was about to conduct its first voyage, he got a few tickets through his contacts.

The next thing was as he expected, Cherie was very happy to learn that she could board a ship to see the sea. After preparing for a while, she happily went to the ship. But soon after, the news that broke his heart came.

The strongest steel giant ship created by mankind, Titan Poseidon, guarded by two seventh-level powerhouses and dozens of sixth-level masters, unexpectedly crashed. From the wreckage of the ship that had been washed near the continents, he learned that the cause of the wreck was due to an incredible number of magic beast attacks. None of the people on the ship survived, and all of them disappeared into the depths of the sea.

The moment he heard the news, his mind went blank, and he was unable to say anything for more than half an hour. His wife next to him collapsed on the ground, losing her consciousness, and had been bedridden with illness since then.

The first thing he did after he woke up from the sadness was to ask the person who delivered the news what happened. But the person sent by the mage guild said that because the magic device in the ship's wreckage was partially damaged, the only information left was the general record that Titan Poseidon was attacked and sunk by the magic beast, and the others were not clear. But if the ship wrecked deep in the sea, the people on it were extremely unlikely to survive.

After learning the news, he and everyone in the family fell into endless sorrow. Not only them, but the families of the nobles on Titan Poseidon almost all learned the tragic news. For a time, various kingdoms on the continent held various funerals to mourn the people who died in the shipwreck. The proposal regarding the manufacture of the second steel giant ship was terminated indefinitely. The mage guild decided that it would no longer build a second steel giant ship until it had a defense system capable of resisting the attack of the eighth-level magic beast, after paying huge compensation to all the nobles who had died in the shipwreck.

The LafayetteCount family naturally received a large amount of compensation, but no matter how many gold coins they received, they couldn't exchange even a little smile for them. In the eyes of this family, if possible, they hoped to use all their family property in exchange for Cherie's safe return, although that was just an impossible fantasy...

When Count Lafayette, who had fallen asleep early, recalled Cherie's innocent smile that day in his dream, the door of the room was knocked open with a "bang!" His men, Knight Rock, rushed in.

"Rock! What's the matter? Didn't I tell you not to disrupt my rest?" Lafayette was a little angry when he was woken up.

"Huff, huff, huff! She... she, she is back! Milord!" The knight Rock who rushed in panted and said incoherently.

"She?? Who are you talking about? Is it the Elder Sister from Capital Alan?? Then I have to go to greet her." Count Lafayette sat up, preparing to change clothes to welcome the guests. In his mind, only that person's visit could make his loyal knight rush in so anxiously.

She should have come to mourn the passing of Cherie after learning about what happened. Count Lafayette was preparing to get out of bed to change his clothes, but then the words of Knight Rock made his whole body freeze.

"No, it's not her. It's the young lady, it's Lady Cherie who is back!" After adjusting his breath, Knight Rock reported the earth-shattering news to Count Lafayette.

"What!! Rock! Don't talk nonsense! This is not funny!" Count Lafayette was ecstatic when he heard what Rock said, but after only a second he calmed down, because this was simply impossible to happen.

"No, Milord. I swear on the glory of a knight that what I said is absolutely true." Knight Rock said solemnly.

"Rock, you..." Count Lafayette was puzzled looking at his loyal subordinates. He was very clear about the character of his knight, he shouldn't be the kind of person who would joke about this kind of matter.

Just as Count Lafayette was puzzled, there was a cute voice from the gate that everyone in this house would never forget.

"Father! Mother! And everyone in the family, I'm back."

The moment Lafayette heard this voice, he who was still in his pajamas jumped from the bed and rushed toward the gate crazily without wearing any shoes, knocking over many objects along the way. He was not the only one who did this in this house. Everyone in the house put aside what they were doing when they heard the innocent voice, and rushed to the gate at full speed. Even the Countess, who had been ill in bed for a month, walked to the gate with the help of the maid. If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't walk, she would also run to the gate now because the voice that came from the gate was the voice of the angel that they could never forget.

Soon, everyone in the Lafayette family gathered at the gate. No one spoke, they just stared at the little blond angel in front of them. Yes, in their opinion, it was indeed the angel that appeared in front of them, because in their cognition, the owner of this voice no longer existed in any corner of this world.

"Father, Mother, and everyone, I'm back!" Cherie felt a little embarrassed to see everyone staring at her blankly. After saying this, she threw herself into the arms of her mother.

"Ch... Cherie. Welcome home!" The Countess, who was already standing unsteady, hugged the little girl in her arms with her trembling hands, confirming that it was not a phantom. She hugged her with all her strength, as if she would disappear from the world when she let go.

"Ah! Mother! Why are you hugging me as hard as Uncle Rock! Are you upset because Cherie came back late? But we have no choice! That ship broke! That's why it took Cherie a long time to come back!" Cherie, who was hugged tightly, was a little scared. She thought maybe everyone in her family was very angry.

"Cherie!!"

"Lady Cherie!" After confirming that Cherie was not a phantom, everyone in the Lafayette family gathered around her, and almost everyone had tears of joy on their faces. Count Lafayette, who took the lead, cried like a child...

And after the people in the Lafayette family surrounded Cherie with a surprised expression, Ulysses at the gate turned around and left this place that was filled with both sadness and happiness quietly.

"Why didn't you go in? As the person who saved Cherie, you should be able to get a heavy reward." Arcelia, who was following Ulysses, asked puzzledly.

"I didn't save people for that. Reward doesn't matter to me. And speaking of it, aristocratic girls like Cherie should be in a different world from me. She has always called me Big Brother, it almost made me forget that. In the future, she should be the little princess who is always surrounded by flowers and laughter." Ulysses said sadly.

"Is that so? But it's easy for you to become a nobleman who already has level 7 strength, right? Then in that way, you will be in the same world." Arcelia still didn't understand.

"No, I have never had any intention of becoming a nobleman. There is only one goal in my life, which is to be a respected priest. I will just leave the image of a gentle Big Brother in Cherie's memories. We, it's better for us to part like this. After all, we are originally two parallel lines that don't intersect. Arcelia, based on what you said, Cherie's family is a very noble and powerful family, so she will definitely live a happy life." Feeling sad, Ulysses quickened his pace and left the street.

"Eep! That demon king seems to have left the girl named Cherie aside? Didn't you also have her in your plan? What are you going to do now?" In the corner of the street, Mina carrying the anchor tilted her head, said somewhat gloatingly.

"Ara! This is really unexpected. But don't worry, no one will be able to escape from Aya!" Aya on the side smiled strangely. Her tone was full of inexplicable confidence....Looking for volunteering editors to speed up my releasing speed.
