Chapter 157: A Lance? Failure
"No, I won't. If it is the consequence of my choice then I'll face it head-on, But I won't regret my decision. It is my pride as a creator to choose the one worthy enough to wield the weapons made by these hands of mine, I won't compromise on this even with my life on the line," Zenobia said with a firm expression and Haru could feel her conviction through her soul.
"That is a beautiful resolve," Haru said with a smile and looked out of the window flustering Zenobia who coughed and calmed herself.
The carriage was in silence as they made their way back to Zenobia's shop.
After about 20 minutes, the carriage reached Zenobia's shop and went into the room that opened like a garage door.
"Thank you for helping me today," Haru said with a smile and Zenobia just shook her head.
"Anyway Mr. Haru Please stay for lunch and I will accept your thanks," Zenobia said with a small smile as Haru nodded agreeing with her.
Zenobia was in a merry mood with a gentle smile on her face. She was about to guide Haru in but....
"Sis! You are finally here," Randel came in with a tense expression on his face.
"What happened Randel?" Zenobia asked but she had already gotten her answer as she looked towards the door that opened revealing a handsome young man with pale skin and platinum blonde hair, combed over to his left.
The young man was very tall and imposing, towering over most people he was about 3 inches taller than Haru who recognized him.
'If it isn't the third trash of Wykes or should I call him second trash? No need there is no ranking in the trash now is there? Trash is Trash. well, whatever not that I care about him, But is he only this much? I thought white mages will be at least more powerful than this. even Jin-ah can beat the shit out of him if she trained properly for a few more months,' Haru felt disappointed when Haru felt that this guy can was only had the power of two mid-National rank Hunters.
The young man who had a smile on his face suddenly frowned when he saw Haru beside Zenobia with his piercing green eyes.
'I don't feel Mana from him, does he not have any? Maybe a servant? He isn't that important right now,' Bairon quickly made his assumption as it didn't even cross his mind that Haru was stronger than him. There were no such thoughts in his head.
Bairon who lost interest in Haru looked at Zenobia and just as he was about to speak.
"Lance Bairon why did you visit without prior notice? Did I not tell you to send a messenger and I will reply accordingly," Zenobia asked as her cheerful mood was blown away in its place a stern expression formed with a small smile on her lips.
"..." Zenobia's behavior stumped Bairon as he looked at her with an awkward smile.
"I came to ask Miss Zenobia about something," Bairon said as he saw that she was not in a good mood, her eyes were locked on him as if waiting for his next words.
Bairon didn't know how to say what happened to Zenobia.
"It was urgent Miss Zenobia so I could only come myself," Bairon said with a sincere expression and Haru saw Randel looking at Bairon with disgust.
"As you are here in your Lance outfit I can see it is an official matter, But there will be no next time if you pull something like this again, you will be going back from the door," Zenobia said plainly.
"I'll keep it in mind, Miss Zenobia," Bairon answered back even though Zenobia was weaker than him in strength her status on this continent was equal if not higher than his own.
He might one of the strongest mages on Dicathen but there were 5 more like him, But Zenobia? There was no other person on this continent who could match her. She reigned at the top of her craft alone.
The weapons she made were highly sought after by every warrior on the continent even the royal families of the three kingdoms did everything to bring her to their sides but it all failed.
"Lady Zenobia something happened with my weapons and armor," Bairon said.
"What did they break? Are you here for repairs?" Zenobia asked as she maintained her small smile even though she knew that what she said was wrong because if her weapons and armor really broke in battle.
Then the ones who would visit her today would be the council rather than Bairon, she had enough faith in her skill and knew it wasn't possible for the weapon she made to break unless it was faced with a really strong opponent and seeing how Bairon had no injuries that could not be the case, Zenobia saw Bairon taking a deep breath.
"I lost them," Bairon said stunning Zenobia.
"Can you say that again, I think I heard that wrong," Zenobia asked Bairon to repeat his words.
Randel had his mouth agape as he heard Bairon.
'He lost the weapon and armor Big sis gave him? And Still came here with so much confidence, Seriously these good-looking guys think that world revolves around them,' Randel was cursing Bairon in his heart as he looked at him in disbelieve.
'Even though this Lance Bairon has been trying to pursue Big sis, she had always denied his advances or any other man's advances for that case even King Glayder went back with disappointment, same went for those arrogant young masters of noble families that they Had a chance with Big sis, Even if you pester Big sis repeatedly like the head of the Wykes family, she won't get angry and calmly deal with the situation while giving the other party a way out at least once. But when you mess with her creations...' Randel gulped in horror as he saw Bairon smiling.
'This guy doesn't know what is going to happen to him,' Randel was scared but also happy to see his Big Sis shoot down this handsome guy.
Bairon didn't know why but he had a bad feeling bit even then he kept it aside, he has been searching for the ring this whole time he didn't find it no matter how much he looked for it, It was important to not because of money or the things in it.
The reason he searched for it so adamantly was that it had the weapon and armor made by Zenobia in it, In the end, he had to come here on Varay's order as she couldn't see any more time being wasted on this.
"I lost my storage ring, and my weapons were in it. We are still searching for it, so please let me borrow a set of weapon and armor, for the time being, I can't use any other weapon after I used the ones miss Zenobia's made," Bairon said as he bowed slightly and it was true if someone used a weapon by Zenobia they would always feel that the weapons made by other blacksmiths were lacking.
'Is this guy a dunce or is he too confident that everything will be resolved?' Haru saw the small smile on Zenobia's face vanish as her face became as cold as an ice block for a sec but soon a gentle smile appeared on her lips as her eyes narrowed and Haru had to admit it.
This....was the most dangerous gentle smile he had seen apart from his mom that is.
I mean, how can someone be so menacing when smiling so gently?' Haru thought as he saw Randel shaking it looks like he had been through this once.
In the little time, Haru had Spent with Zenobia he has come to know that she cares for her creations a lot, So one would have to pay heavily if they messed with them. So he knew that Bairon is going to get his ass handed to him.
"I understand," Zenobia said in a gentle tone and Randel was shaking faster as if he was standing in a freezing blizzard bare naked.
"As I thought Zenobia will understand, thank you very much," Bairon said as he smiled brightly.
'You idiot, what do mean 'Zenobia will understand'? Did you lose your brain with your storage ring as well? You even dropped the formalities, Where do you get that courage from? Tell me as well,' Randel was shaking nonstop as he moved back while making himself smaller and trying to run away from this place.
"Randel," Zenobia's gentle voice called out to Randel who stiffened as he stood up straight on impulse.
"Yes mam," Randel gave a military salute as he looked at Zenobia with fear.
"Guide Lance Bairon out," Zenobia said with a gentle smile, and Randel moved on instinct.
"Zenobia what does th-" Bairon was about to say but this time Zenobia cut him off.
"It is 'Lady' Zenobia for you, Now please if you would leave without making a fuss that would be better for the both of us," Zenobia said with a smile and Bairon was shocked, He still didn't move from his spot.
'What happened? Why is she angry?' Bairon was confused but he couldn't figure out why she would be so angry.
"Lady Zenobia I can't go back without a weapon," Bairon stated firmly making Randel's eyes twitch.
