The Goddess Made A Mistake Again - Chapter 422: 422 - An Understandable Warning

Chapter 422: Chapter 422 – An Understandable Warning

It was noon and I was walking around the castle.

Wherever I walked, I only saw soldiers either preparing stuff for the war or training for it. I even saw the other two Valkyries working and helping out, unlike Marva who only slept.

There even was Winona who helped with the archery. She took in some talented hands and helped their steady their aim or whatever archer’s do to get better.

But all in conclusion, everything felt like it was about to bring something.

With more people arriving, we were getting close to war. It still isn’t enough for us to win, but there was some time left to gather help.

Seman didn’t seem like he knew that the Dragonoir’s would come to his help. But in the end, even though they didn’t have good relation like before, Seman couldn’t possibly leave such a good opportunity.

I saw the Dragonoir army being pulled to another part of the city. It was empty with some tents pulled up just for these men. They were getting special treatment, but were also being pulled aside from the castle.

It was caution, but what was it for, I don’t know.

It could have been for me or some other reason completely. Maybe Seman worried that the Dragonoir would strike against him or bully the city people.

If it’s the latter, it was understandable.

The Dragonoir’s are quite an important family and suddenly being rejected would definitely brush their temper. A bit bullying justifies in the long haul.

“My lord.”

I see a butler in mid-30’s calls me. He is the closest butler Seman had.

“Lord Seman wants to see you in his office.” The butler said to me.

“Alright. I’ll see myself in.” I dismiss the guy and go to the office alone.

I feel like this was a me and him conversation only.

Just like I thought, the office of the guy was empty with Seman looking agitated as he sat at the empty desk.

“My Lord, you called for me?” I ask from the door.

“Yes, I did. Come in, Henry.” Seman gestured to the seat in front of him, “Close the door and sit. We need to talk about something big.”

I do as ask and sit before him. Seman took a moment before asking me, “Do you perhaps have any idea as to why I called for you?”

“Let me guess, is it about my people arriving late?”

“No, but you don’t have to worry about that. The roads are long and it takes time for big forces to arrive and they also need to clear checkpoints through various cities. It’s understandable that they would arrive late. I’m already thankful for the help you have gave us.” Seman smiled briefly.

“But that’s not what I called you for. It’s about the Dragonoir family. Do you know them?”

I act like I am thinking, “Yes… I think I’ve read of them from the books. They’re a prominent family, yes?”

“They are more than just that.” Seman went serious, “They are one of the origin families.”

“Origin as if, at the moment of creation of the Leonidas Kingdom kind of?” I falsely ask and Seman nods.

“Yes and by rank they are at the top too. The Dragonoir family has very long roots and their connections go deep. They also have had individuals over the generations that had much talent and still have more that have promising futures.”

I nod without directly asking what this was about.

“That sounds like they’re a big deal.”

“Yes… and they could be problematic for you.” Seman murmured.

“Why?… Is it because of my father?”

“No. It’s about you.” Seman sighed, “They were the marriage partner that was initially chosen for Margaret.”

“Oh?” I act surprised, “And it was cancelled because of me?”

Seman nodded slowly.

“Oh!… that sounds bad.”

“Don’t worry. Even if the situation seems bad for you, I don’t believe the Dragonoir family would actually do anything. They shouldn’t hold grudges like that.”

‘But they do, have you ever read Chinese Wuxia novel’s, man?’

“But with how quickly we cut off the arrangement without any prior warnings… I believe they will be angry about that.”

I raise a brow.

“Are you telling me to be cautious around them?”

“Yes and that they might bully you if they find the chance so… don’t think too much about them.” Seman said awkwardly.

He was just telling me to go ahead and enjoy the embarrassment that would come because he didn’t have power to help me out.

“But don’t worry, I will try to help you whenever possible.”

‘Try to? Then you might as well try and fail every time.’ I snicker inwardly but look appreciative outside.

“Thank you, Lord Seman. That would be quite helpful… about Margaret.” I ask timidly, “Would they also try something with her?”

“With her behavior, I doubt it. But I can’t say at this point.” Seman seemed uncertain, “But I’ve put them in another block for that reason, we’ll see what happens.”

I nod and talk a bit more with Seman before leaving his office.

As I walk outside, I think about our conversation.

I don’t know about the Dragonoir family? That’s bullshit, in reality I knew enough to be called a semi-stalker in trial.

These aren’t just big players; they ARE the big players. They aren’t just an origin family; their family holds high seats at the House of Lords.

Even there, the current leader is none other than the current matriarch of Dragonoir Family. She is a mean and cold bitch.

The Dragonoir family, like in the original were to be partnered with the Religias and connect it through Margaret and their young master’s marriage.

In the novel, Arthur and his group had faced not only Margaret, but goons from the Dragonoir family too. When Margaret fell, her husband became the next major villain before that guy fell too and brought in the whole Dragonoir family.

It was a real jumble that time and took Arthur everything not to get destroyed by the Dragonoir’s.

But the Protagonist that he is, he had the plot armor and heroines to help him out. With great effort, he didn’t just take out an Origin family, but also a major support group of Abigail’s.

Making her weak politically.

And now, I have to face the family… I only hope that they give up after trying to kill me for the 4th time or so.

…

The next day came and with that another group of Mariachi band.

“Pom!” “Pom!”

“Pom!” “Pom!”

My fists clench tightly as veins pop up.

“Why?… Why is that band playing in the damn morning again!” I pull out the pillow covering my face and get up.

Marva groans as she losses her teddy bear and only rolls around to sleep again.

“I swear to god, if this is just the army training their band skills again, I will fucking bash them!”

Quickly wearing my robe and looking disheveled, I walk outside the building.

I spot a large group of people at the gate. It was just like the Dragonoir, but these people didn’t have an assigned costume.

“Oh no!” My face becomes pale as I spot a figure. “Why is she here?”

At the front of the large group, a big carriage stood with a figure standing by it. The figure didn’t take time before she noticed me and ran to me

“Master!”

It was Alice.
