"This guy's her fiancée? Don't be ridiculous, he doesn't have a single trace of an adventurer about him."

"Exactly, judging from his appearance, he probably can't even beat a goblin."

These whispers, though not loud, reached Chunji's ears clearly. The little fox's ears twitched slightly, and her face was filled with anger.

How could those people speak of Lord Lynn like that? Lord Lynn is the best person in the world, and he would never lie.

This was what Chunji was thinking. She clenched her little fists. "Lord Lynn is no liar!"

Lynn turned around and saw Chunji blushing and stubbornly glaring at the people who were talking.

He raised his hand and ruffled Chunji's hair. "Alright, no need to argue with them. The truth will out."

After calming Chunji down, Lynn looked at Hassanna again, his gaze unwavering.

"I'm not joking."

Hassan fell silent, his mind seemingly blank.

Today, an ordinary-looking boy, accompanied by a fox-girl, told him that Kaguya Gojou of the Astraea Familia was his fiancée.

It's outrageous, absolutely outrageous.

He wouldn't believe it, but because of his fondness for Lynn, Hassan didn't say anything more and patiently gave directions.

“Keep walking along this road until you reach the Tower of Babel, then turn into Zone 1, and you will see it.”

Thank you.

Lynn thanked her, took Chunji's hand, and followed Hassan's directions toward the city center.

The pedestrians on the street looked hurried, and most of them had a hint of vigilance and wariness in their eyes.

Chunji unconsciously gripped Lynn's sleeve with her small hands, and her fluffy fox ears drooped uneasily.

She kept her head down and followed closely behind Lynn, not daring to make eye contact with any passersby.

Those unintentional scrutinizing glances stung her, as if she had returned to the days when she was locked up in a ward, left to be judged by others.

Lynn could feel her body trembling slightly, so he slowed his pace.

"Don't be afraid. Although Yulari is not very stable right now, it is generally safe during the day."

Lynn already knows the current timeline of the distorted world.

He didn't know exactly how many days before his death, but it was seven days before.

The dark faction is now stirring in Yullari, making it as dangerous as the dungeons.

Hearing Lynn's words, Chunji felt much more at ease. She gave a soft "hmm" and her steps became more steady.

After passing through several intersecting streets, a magnificent building appeared at the edge of the field of vision.

This is the residence of the Astrea Familia.

A place that dares to open its doors during dark times speaks volumes about its unwavering justice, and no one dares to act recklessly here.

Looking at the solemn building before her, Chunji glanced at her simple clothes and then at Lynn.

Lord Lynn is here to see his fiancée, who must be a noble and beautiful woman.

And I... am just a fox-person who was bought.

A strong sense of inferiority welled up in Chunji's heart, and she subconsciously tried to pull her hand back.

Lynn noticed her hesitation and didn't say anything more. Chunji's inner problems couldn't be solved with just a few words.

Once she has a period of peaceful life and experiences the changes in her life, she will feel better on her own.

Lynn led Chunji and walked confidently through the open door.

The compound is large and well-maintained.

As you approach, a burst of lively, chattering girlish voices drifted from the windows of the main house.

"Ryu! You stupid elf! Why did you write this wrong again!"

"It's your own fault for not explaining clearly, Kaguya."

Lynn paused slightly in his steps.

Kaguya and Ryu?

Kaguya's voice is both commanding and capable; just listening to it evokes the image of a dashing and heroic woman.

Lynn gathered her thoughts and gently knocked on the door.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

A moment later, the door was pulled open a crack.

A tiny girl with pink hair, only reaching Lynn's waist, peeked out.

She was holding a half-eaten piece of bread in her hand, with bread crumbs stuck to the corner of her mouth, and was looking at the two uninvited guests outside the door with curious eyes.

Who are you?

Lynn recognized her.

In the original work, she is also a member of the Astrea Familia, a dwarf named Laila.

Lynn leaned down slightly, meeting her gaze, and gave her a gentle smile.

"Hello, my name is Lynn."

"I've come to find my fiancée, Kaguya Gojo."

P.S.: Please leave a review and some flowers; they're very important for a new book. Thank you.

3. This is good for both of us.

Kaguya? Her fiancé?

Laila froze.

She specifically used her talent, a kind of almost intuitive insight.

But the person in front of me had eyes as calm as a deep pool, without the slightest ripple.

What he said is true.

The moment the thought popped into her head, it caused Laila's brain to freeze.

"Clap."

The half-eaten piece of bread slipped from her weak fingers and fell onto the stone steps in front of the door.

Lyra stared blankly at Lynn, then glanced at the timid little girl behind him who only dared to show a pair of fluffy fox ears.

Several seconds passed before she snapped out of her daze, hurriedly bent down to pick up the bread, and stuffed it haphazardly back into her pocket, not caring whether it was clean or not.

She didn't ask any more questions, but silently turned to the side, opened the door, and gestured for them to come in.

Lynn led Haruhime by the hand and stepped into the Astrea Familia's residence.

The room was bright and spacious, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that bathed the entire hall in the gradually setting sun.

A faint fragrance wafted over, and strangely enough, Lynn felt a sense of warmth from the scent.

In the spacious lobby, there were three pink tables, each surrounded by people.

A woman with smooth black hair, resembling a Yamato Nadeshiko, was frowning as she traced her fingers across the Yulari map spread out on the table.

Kaguya Gojo!

Beside her, a blonde elf girl pointed seriously at a point on the map, seemingly arguing with her about something.

Liu Liang!

"The reports from the male warriors are too scattered, Kaguya. We can't rely solely on eyewitness accounts."

“I know, Ryu, but this is the only clue we have right now.”

On a sofa not far away, a red-haired girl was leaning back without any regard for her image, letting out a hearty, booming laugh.

"Hahaha! Look at that thief's expression, he's absolutely stupid!"

Alexandra!

The leader of the Astrea Familia.

The relaxed state of these people made Chun Ji, who had been tense, relax a little.

However, the lively atmosphere came to an abrupt end when Lyra led in two Lynns and Chunji.

“Lyra?” Alexie spoke first, sitting up straight on the sofa and glancing at Lynn and Chunji. “And who are these two?”

The others followed Alexandra's gaze and looked at Lyra.

Lyra pointed at Lynn, as if she wanted to say something, but clearly didn't know how to put it.

Lynn took a step forward and began to introduce herself.

"Sorry to bother you all."

"My name is Lynn."

"I'm here to see my fiancée, Kaguya Gojou."

All eyes turned from Lynn to Kaguya Gojo.

Kaguya herself was stunned. Her eyes widened slightly, and her fingers gripping the map tightened unconsciously.

"puff--"

An uncontrollable laugh broke the silence.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Alexie could no longer contain herself. She rushed to Kaguya's side, patted her shoulder hard, and laughed so hard she almost fell over.

"Kaguya! When did you secretly find a fiancé outside?!"

"We've been kept in the dark for so long!"

Alexie's laughter seemed to ignite a fuse, and the other girls reacted as well, crowding around and chattering and teasing her.

"Really, Kaguya? Is this the person you love?"

"She's quite pretty."

"No wonder you always reject other people's advances; it turns out you already have someone you belong to."

Ryu put down her pen, her eyes sweeping lightly over Lynn before landing on Kaguya, and said with a smile;

"I see. No wonder I kept seeing you staring blankly in the direction of the Far East these past few days."

"You stupid elf! Even you..."

Surrounded and teased by her fellow clan members, Kaguya's cheeks flushed crimson at a visible speed, spreading from her ears all the way down her neck.

She was both ashamed and angry, and forcefully pushed away Alexandra, who was clinging to her; "Don't talk nonsense!"

She strode up to Lynn, her voice cold, "Who are you? I don't know anything about a fiancé."

Lynn wasn't surprised; in fact, he had imagined what Kaguya's attitude might be.

Even Kaguya's furious attack was somewhat anticipated.

Looking back now, at least their attitudes have softened considerably, and they're unlikely to clash now.

“Your grandfather gave me a keepsake.”

Lynn calmly took out an object wrapped in cotton cloth from his bosom and gently handed it over.

Kaguya frowned, reached out and took the cloth, and opened it.

It is an exquisite knife handle with a simple and ancient design, and is carved with five intricate family patterns.

Her mouth was slightly open, and her fingertips rubbed against the familiar patterns.

Seeing this, Alexie came over and asked curiously, "Kaguya, is this true?"

“It’s a token from my Gojo family.” Kaguya nodded silently.

"Wow!!!"
