“Red Mama…” Ars was taken aback and puzzled.

Liz, who was standing to the side, was taken aback at first, and then her eyes widened.

She is...

Ars's mother?

"Take this guy down!" Edwin roared.

The group of subordinates looked at each other, all somewhat hesitant.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and charged toward Alice.

then……

Everyone lay down.

It didn't even take half a second, and before anyone could react, the battle was over.

It even gives the illusion that Alice never moved at all...

No, that's not right.

She didn't actually move, but some invisible force knocked down everyone who attacked her.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Even Eurys and Edwin were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, almost fleeing in panic.

"Knight! Hey, where have all the knights gone!" Edwin cried out in alarm.

However, no one responded to his voice.

The knights who should have been guarding the door were completely silent, as if they had all vanished.

Liz's eyes widened instantly.

She had heard Yars mention the Red Mother countless times, and all she knew was that she was a very skilled swordsman and a very imposing person.

But I never expected it to be this powerful.

“Yars, I never expected you to be so cowardly.”

Alice looked down at Ars and said in an unfriendly tone, "Look at yourself now, you're absolutely hideous. Don't you feel ashamed?"

“I…I was just protecting Liz!” Ars retorted, unconvinced.

"Protect?"

Alice glanced at Liz and smiled dismissively.

What have you been protecting?

"I……"

Yars wanted to say something more.

Just then, a familiar voice came from outside.

"Let's talk about disciplining the child when we get home. Let's deal with the immediate issues first."

As the sound rang out, a tall figure walked in from outside the door.

“Dad!” Ars blurted out.

"Yars, I'm so happy to see that you're safe and sound."

Rudeus said with a smile.

Are you safe?

How can this be considered peaceful and uneventful?

Liz looked at Ars's face, which had been beaten into a pig's head, and really wanted to complain.

But then she couldn't speak.

Rudius walked up to Jars, placed a hand on his forehead, and then a holy and vibrant light emanated from his palm.

Under that light, Yars' injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It took almost a few seconds.

The injuries on Yars' face had completely disappeared, and he had recovered completely.

"This..." Liz was completely dumbfounded.

Is that healing magic?

Such a rapid recovery speed should require at least a high-level healing spell...

But she hadn't even heard the sound of magic being chanted.

I've heard that Her Majesty once had a guard named "The Nameless Fizz" who could also use healing magic without chanting. Could it be that Ars's father also...?

Just then, Rudeus's gaze fell on Liz.

"This must be Miss Liz, right?"

Rudius smiled slightly and then extended his hand to Liz.

"Nice to meet you. I am Ars's father. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle."

"Uncle, hello..." Liz stammered.

Rudeus winked at Alice, who then waved her hand gently.

"Click——"

The shackles on Liz and Yars' wrists snapped instantly.

Liz rubbed her slightly sore wrists, her gaze vacant.

So much happened today, so many shocking things, that Liz doesn't even know how to describe her feelings right now.

And just then.

Coming to his senses, Edwin said irritably, "Hey, what's going on with you guys? Are you treating us like we're invisible?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot you were still here."

Rudius turned around and looked at the two pretentious nobles in front of him.

“I understand the details. In short, my son killed your son, is that right? I’m truly sorry, gentlemen of noble birth,” Rudius said with a smile.

"In that case, why don't you hurry up and state your name?" Edwin said impatiently.

"I am Rudeus, Rudeus Grerath."

"Grelat? You're a nobleman too?"

"No, no, no, I am just a commoner."

"Hmph, I suppose so."

Edwin's heart, which had just been pounding, quickly calmed down, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you're not a nobleman, everything is negotiable.

But then again...

Rudeus?

I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before.

"Then let's get down to business."

Rudius still smiled and said, "I also feel sorry for what happened to your son. Although he ultimately used despicable means without authorization, in the end, his death was indeed somewhat undeserved."

"So, I'm personally willing to pay compensation to the two... Laurist families, right?"

"One hundred thousand Asura gold coins... how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Liz instinctively opened her mouth and couldn't close it.

100,000 Asura Gold Coins!

This is an astonishingly high price!

I can already buy a large plot of land in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital and do whatever I want!

Even for these nobles, it was a huge sum of money.

Edwin and Euryth exchanged a glance, both seeing greed in each other's eyes.

The fact that they could readily produce such a huge sum of money shows that they possess astonishing wealth. If we don't squeeze them out of it... I'm afraid Boris's spirit in heaven won't rest in peace!

Thinking of this, Yuris said in a deep voice, "Boris is my biological brother. We grew up together and are inseparable... You actually intend to use 100,000 gold coins to make me forgive and forget? That's wishful thinking."

"Then what do you mean?"

"You have to pay more!"

Yuris held up five fingers with a cold expression.

"At least this number!"

"Okay, deal."

Rudius said without hesitation.

"Absolutely... huh?"

The overly cheerful tone startled both Yuris and Edwin.

They were prepared to haggle, but they didn't expect Rudius to accept so readily...

It even made them wonder if the price they asked for was too low.

Yuris hesitated.

But at that moment, Rudius suddenly spoke again.

"Five hundred thousand gold coins to buy your brother's life, and this debt is settled."

"Now I'm going to settle the score with you for hitting my son."

"what?"
