I am the heroine's godfather!

Page 132

Loran tilted his head, somewhat puzzled, while Lamia silently covered her face.

Lucifer gave a gift because he had already met the child, which is perfectly normal. But you haven't even met the child yet, so why are you in such a hurry to give a gift? And why bring out such an expensive-looking gem with your blessing on it?

Lucifer only gave him a basic spellbook. Anyone with eyes can see you're up to no good with Loran!

Loran also felt that this thing was somewhat valuable—although it wasn't very valuable to him, it was quite valuable to Charlotte.

A blessing from a seventh-tier saint! Although Loran has given the child many such things, one thing is one thing! Spoiling the child like this will make her lose her sense of crisis!

But if you ask whether Lorraine will give Charlotte and the other children small trinkets with blessings later on...

One thing at a time, the gift should still be sent.

"Why did you all send them?"

Lestinger crossed her arms: "It makes me feel like an outsider... Take this."

She casually tossed out a jade bracelet.

"This is?"

Loran caught it, somewhat puzzled. Lestinger waved her hand: "It's nothing valuable. It's a suit of armor I forged from lava iron. It appears when this bracelet is activated. It can adjust its size according to the user's body shape... Speaking of which, what's her name, Charlotte, right? What level is this child at?"

"level one."

"Oh, if you're worried that the child will become too reliant on this armor, you can put on a few seals. However, this thing only has the defensive power of the Gold rank at most. You'll need to change equipment for anything higher."

"That child is only at level one yet."

Meanwhile, Estia fell into deep thought. After a moment, she said, "Should I also give her a gift?"

"what?"

“Look, no matter what, I’m still that child’s elder.”

Estia gestured: "I didn't give her a gift last time in San Casta, so I'll ask you to take it back with you this time."

"Christine didn't even send one, so what are you going to send?"

"That's because she's brainless."

Estia didn't miss any opportunity to mock Christine. After a moment's thought, she took out a fruit: "This is a fruit from the ancient elven tree. It can increase her magic reserves, but since it only works on those below the gold level, I don't usually need to use it."

"Alright, then I'll thank you on her behalf."

Loran nodded to Estia, then looked at Lucifer and the other two, and thanked them as well.

"Hey, no need to thank me. Next time, find a chance to bring your kids over so we can see them."

"There is a chance."

Loran nodded, then slowly rose into the air: "Then we'll be going now."

Estia followed, carried by the wind. Lucifer and the other two waved goodbye.

There weren't many scenes of reluctance to part, after all, it wasn't a matter of life and death, and they were all mature adults.

Only Lamia still felt disappointed and disappointed in Lilith.

--------------

Are you going straight to San Casta?

Flying in the air, Estia asked, and Loran shook his head: "Judging by the time, their semester is almost over. I'll go straight back to Enshiya and go with them next semester."

"That's it."

Estia nodded: "I'm going back to the Elf Forest now."

Although she also considered conquering Loran in one fell swoop, she figured it was unlikely, and besides...

Estia sighed; her strength was now somewhat insufficient.

The evil god popes she's encountered now are all stronger than her, which makes Estia feel a great sense of urgency.

If things continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to help Lorian much.

It's time to start working hard.

Estia thought to herself.

"Well then, see you next time, Estia."

"Well, see you next time."

------------

After bidding farewell to Estia, Loran sped towards Enshiya, passing through many countries along the way, which made them quite nervous.

After all, anyone would be nervous if an eighth-tier expert flew over their own country's sky.

Fortunately, the church had already received the news and promptly relayed it to leaders and protectors of various countries; otherwise, many countries would probably have been on full alert.

In the capital of the Kingdom of Avia, at the headquarters of the Church of the Seven Gods, Tikimia looked at the intelligence in her hand and couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the Holy Maiden in Charge."

"The Holy Maiden acting on behalf of the Emperor? Teacher, is this news from Uncle Lorian?"

Now the successor to the bishopship of the Kingdom of Avia, and almost predetermined to be the next bishop, Elena asked curiously, and Tikmia nodded and handed the information to Elena: "His Holiness Lorian has already reached the eighth rank."

"That's it."

Elena exclaimed, "As expected of Uncle Lorian."

High-ranking officials in various countries with good information also received the news. For example, several crown princes in Isnar learned that the Earl Morganfle, who lived in Enshia, was His Majesty Lorian, so they hurriedly sent people to try to win him over.

At that moment, Loran had just arrived home.

Enshiya, your emperor has returned!

Chapter 225 Some people really do reap what they sow.

"I am a pretty but pitiful little maid~"

"Exploited by a cruel and ugly head maid~"

"I can't even afford afternoon tea every day!"

"Even my midnight snack is just a tiny bite~"

"Oh~ Oh~ Poor little maid~~~"

"One person has to clean the whole house~"

"Oh~ Oh~ Poor little maid~~~"

"That wicked head maid, when will you finally defeat her?!"

As soon as Loran landed at the entrance of his manor, he heard a rather abstract song that no one knew who had made up on the spot, and his vision went black.

"Mia!"

"Yes! I didn't slack off!"

The orange-haired maid immediately stood at attention, then noticed Loran in front of her: "What? Oh, it's Master... Wait, Master?!?"

Mia was shocked: "Master, you're back!!!"

His loud voice startled all the birds that were perched in the garden. Luckily, Lorraine was no ordinary person, or his ears would have been deafened.

What kind of deaf successor?

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down."

Loran sighed: "Why are you making such a fuss?"

"It's just that I haven't seen you in so long, I'm so excited."

Mia laughed foolishly. Loran looked at her dirty appearance and asked, "What did you do again? Why are you being punished to clean again?"

"Oh, sir! It's all because of that Caroline!"

Mia complained, "Every time she doesn't like me, she makes me clean the house as punishment!"

"Why don't you mention that you sneaked into the kitchen at three in the morning to steal pastries? The cook already has low blood sugar, and when she got up to check the kitchen, she found a dark figure squatting there. She was so scared that she almost fainted."

"Hehehe...unexpected, unexpected."

"Then why don't you mention that last time Lady Serena asked you to pick marigolds in the garden, you were frightened by field mice and burned the garden down?"

"Well......"

"besides......"

"Stop talking, stop talking, I was wrong!"

Mia looked at Loran's amused smile and wished she could lower her head to the ground. She quickly covered Caroline's mouth.

Caroline sighed, pried open the maid's hands, looked at Loran, and bowed: "Master, Serena is waiting for you inside."

Loran knew something was wrong. He thought Mia was shouting so loudly, how could Serena not have heard her? If that was the case, there was only one explanation for why Serena hadn't come to pick him up.

My older sister is angry.

Spicy balls!

Lorraine quickly and discreetly inquired, "Why is my sister angry? Caroline, could you tell me a little bit?"

Caroline naturally intended to keep quiet, as Serena had already emphasized this to her. The other girl, however, wasn't so discreet, though Serena hadn't emphasized anything to her; perhaps she'd forgotten.

Mia raised her hand: "Isn't that simple? You've been gone for months, and all you've written is one letter. Not only Lady Serena, but even Miss Charlotte is a little angry with you."

Loran scratched his head; it was indeed his oversight. Although he'd been a bit busy these past few months, it hadn't been that he was overwhelmed. For one thing, before arriving at the Elf Forest, during his travels, Loran had plenty of time to write letters. He actually had time to write letters in the Elf Forest, but he'd forgotten, only sending one at the very end. While things were a bit hectic in the Demon Realm, it wasn't like he was completely without time.

Hmm, now that I think about it, it does seem to be my fault?

Looks like I'm going to get squeezed dry tonight.

Loran silently clutched his kidneys—but even if he had only reached the eighth rank before, Serena couldn't have squeezed him dry, let alone now that he was at the eighth rank.

Upon entering the mansion, Serena was waiting for him in the hall. His older sister was, after all, gentle; though somewhat angry, she only avoided going to the manor gate.

My older sister still dotes on Loran.

"Are you tired? What would you like to eat tonight? I'll arrange for the kitchen to make it for you."

Serena walked up to Loran and hugged him. Her tone was still somewhat doting and caring, which made Loran feel even less human.

"Um... Sister, I was wrong. I'll definitely remember to write to you more often next time."

"You."

Serena touched his lips and said with a smile, "I don't really care, but little Charlotte is a bit angry. Little Laura said you broke your promise, that you agreed to accompany them for special training during the holidays, but you haven't been seen all holiday. Little Olivia didn't show it, but she looked a little disappointed too."

Lorraine chuckled, after all, plans can't keep up with changes.

"It's fine if you don't write to me, but you can't treat your wife like this after you get married."

Serena continued her lecture: "Otherwise, it can easily lead to disharmony in the marital relationship."

Loran had a bit of a headache, and he quickly said, "Okay, sister, I want to eat foie gras."

"You... Caroline, have someone go and buy some."

Serena gave the instructions, then took Loran's hand and sat down on the sofa: "Is this matter dangerous?"

She knew her younger brother was an extraordinary person, destined for great things, so she wouldn't ask him too many questions about what he had done. But as his older sister, she was still a little worried about his safety.

Even now, there are very few things in the world that can threaten Loran.

"There's no danger."

Loran naturally wouldn't be bothered by his sister's concern—provided that his sister didn't keep nagging him to get married.

Loran then recounted the events that occurred on his journey, including his experiences in Avia.

"That's it."

Serena sighed: "The branch president there told me before that there was a merchant guild called White Jasmine that had been at odds with them. I thought it was just a normal business dispute, but it turns out that the merchant guild is also involved in human trafficking?"

Serena sighed, "It's disgusting."

Just as the siblings were chatting, Caroline suddenly walked over.

"Lord Loran, an invitation has been delivered."

"Invitation?"

Loran asked curiously, "Is it Victoria?"
