The Goddess Made A Mistake Again - Chapter 418: 418 - Two Close Letters

Chapter 418: Chapter 418 – Two Close Letters

Unfortunately, Oricon didn’t die.

Seman didn’t have the heart to kill his long rival, the guy still had feelings. His excuse was that Oricon could be used as leverage against Orion.

Really?

One was the Bandit King and the other the replacement, I’m sure he was going to take the leverage thing to heart and do whatever Seman tells him to… if the sky starts pooping gold that is.

‘Hah… no point trying to put thoughts into someone who is rock solid about his ways. This is why I hate old and believing in the past values kind of people.’

‘These guys don’t evolve.’

I was in my own room in the second floor. It has been three days since we have interrogated that Oricon fellow. Seeing how soft Seman was, Oricon knew he could keep his mouth shut and still live, the guy was right.

But I didn’t say more than I needed to and left the wrong judgement part to Seman. It is when that guy takes a wrong turn, that I’ll use it to my advantage.

Right now, I was sitting on the desk, hearing to the soft parade outside the building. Glancing outside, I see Seman and a lot of Captains standing and waiting for someone.

They were waiting for the Royal Army who said they would be arriving sometime today… that sometime made Seman stand there for more than an hour.

I didn’t get that kind of special treatment… shit, I didn’t even see the guy until it was dinner time.

‘I get that your thirsty for some help, but the only thing you’re doing right now is making yourself desperate.’ I shake my head in displeasure, ‘No wonder everyone still looks at your disabled wife for leadership.’

“Knock!”

“Knock!”

Two gentle knocks to the door.

“Yeah?”

“My Lord, letters came for you.” I hear a girl’s voice.

Getting up, I open the door and see a servant girl who has been especially serving me while I’ve been here. She didn’t have spectacular looks or huge jugs, but the girl was obedient and quiet, my preference for a servant.

I take the letter and give a few pound notes to the girl who immediately glittered upon seeing it, “Thank you, my lord!”

She was also quite innocent, a rare trait for a maid… Just look at Alice, it didn’t take her time to change from the innocent girl to my slutty maid.

“When did it arrive?” I ask.

“Just a few minutes ago.” The girl replied, “The letter came from your place, the Screeching Villa, My Lord.”

“You’re fast, Good job.” I tell to my little innocent maid turning slowly to a spy who happily smiled and left.

“Let’s see what my sweet Anna wrot-” As I check the letter, I see that there was one extra letter with the usual one.

One was white, coming from my home and the other was pink and had the symbol of the Sakurai Family.

‘Hanako’s sent me a letter after all this time, I wonder what happened.’

I close the door to my room and lock it before sitting at my desk. I look at the two letters before finally choosing the white one first.

‘No matter how much important work is; you have to always choose family first… unless work came with extra pay.’

Opening the letter, I see Anna’s fresh and beautiful handwriting. Just seeing it made me feel refreshing at this semi army place.

Dear Henry,

We received the call from you and have long started recruiting troops. It didn’t take much time before we reached the given amount with the level of money you were giving for pay.

I’ve already told you to not be wasteful towards money, but I believe you know the best, you are my master after all.

‘Hah, even when she tries to act angry, I see the love in her.’ I smile and continue the content.

We have hired 8 thousand men with your special authorization and are adding in 2 thousand soldiers from our own disposition.

They have already been sent out by the time you will receive the letter and I think will arrive within two to three days if Mr. Redwick assumption is correct.

With that done, the business regarding the sigmat stones are continuing as usual and your other businesses are fine too.

There is a matter here that we need to discuss… but I won’t put pressure to your mind right now. We can talk about it when you get back.

I hope that you are doing great. We, at the house are doing fine as well. Alice is getting chirpier by the day, but that is only so because you are not here.

I also feel a bit lonely without you here, I hope that I get to see you soon and hug you tightly once again.

I believe you will gain victory as you’ve always have… but still, stay safe.

Anna.

P.S… I’ve prepared a surprise for you.

I close the letter and think about one part.

‘What is the problem that Anna’s talking about? She didn’t write it in the letter but she wouldn’t talk about it unless it was important.’

‘With what’s happening in the Religias household, I can’t leave at the moment. This is a crucial time at their life and if I could help them through it, I will gain great favor.’

‘And what’s this surprise?’

Placing Anna’s letter down carefully, I take a look at the pink one.

Immediately a pleasant flowery smell invaded my nostrils. There was a sweet smell covering the letter.

‘She put cologne on the letter, how unnecessary but appreciated.’

Opening the letter, I see a handwriting more sophisticated and placed than Anna’s. As compulsory from the Princess of the Sekai Kingdom.

Dear Henry,

It is me, your close friend, Hanako.

It has been sometime since we talked and I felt to relight that feeling again.

What have you been doing there? How has life been going for you?

After meeting you, life has changed for me. I can’t say whether it is for the better or worse as at one side I learned of my brother’s betrayal and on the other side gained a trustworthy companion.

But regardless, I won’t regret what has already happened and would take charge of it, just like you said.

‘Good, she doesn’t sound like a naïve and beautiful princess now. I don’t need one like that.’ I nod at her change.

I have started gaining some friends outside and inside of the court. But like you said, I chose my friends carefully and quietly so that it doesn’t get noticed.

I have also spread talk about you to my circle and externally. They are most wanting to meet you through my descriptions.

To not sound presumptuous, I want to meet you again as well.

The Sakura Trees here have once again bloomed, showing their beauty… I hope to one day see them with you beside me.

Goodbye,

My close friend.

‘She really does take the ‘close friend’ to heart huh.’ I think before smiling, ‘Well the closer we get, the better it is.’

“Pom!” “Pom!”

“Pom!” “Pom!”

Suddenly, I hear drum noises and other sounds as I see the band outside getting rowdy.

“Are they finally here?”

I get up and check through the window to see a long row of soldiers, wearing the royal army outfit.

“Something was said about some Valkyrie, right?” I murmur and look towards Seman to see him talking with three beautiful wome-

“Bang!” My hands band down on the desk.

“What the hell is that crazy bitch doing here?!”
