Chapter 389 Monthly Meeting

"No," Lyrian stated without any hesitation.

The kid's expression immediately turned disappointed. "Please! I beg you to do me this favor!"

"I already said no kid. I'm doing this mission alone," Lyrian exclaimed. It didn't feel odd for him to call the kid a kid even though he was technically younger, since in mental age he was a bit older.

"I want you to trust me. I won't let you down. I need to have some sort of direction to where I'm going, instead of wandering around without a clue."

The kid paused, desperately speaking.

"If you do this for me, I promise to not fall below your expectations." He had genuineness in his eyes as he spoke.

Lyrian also paused for a moment before retorting. "I understand your frustration, kid. However... I can't allow you to come on different investigation quests and things like that."

At that moment, Lyrian's gaze suddenly shifted to a more serious one.

"No matter how great your determination is, what you lack is sheer power. In the end, you inevitably slow me down. I can't have that, especially not when I'm trying to clear this mission as soon as possible."

He spoke with a stern tone, disheartening the boy.

"I see... if that's the case, then please allow me to be in your company at the very least. I won't join you in missions, but as long as I can stay near you and know what is the most current information, I can use that to forge my own quests."nOVelbIn

The boy spoke as if he was a grown man. Lyrian sighed slightly.

'It wouldn't hurt me to have a small subordinate doing his own quests I suppose... but it might be a bad choice in the future. Well, whatever. It won't hurt to have him simply stay near me I suppose.'

He thought to himself before reluctantly saying.

"Fine... you can stay near me I guess. Plus, I can't really stop you from doing that anyways. You are your own person."

Lyrian said, turning around and beginning to walk the way that he initially had come in.

Everyone had arrived at the meeting room except for Kepler again. No one knew where he was, or at least that's what the rest of the family insinuated.

However, it seemed to Lyrian that they were hiding something as if it brought them some sort of humiliation.

He addressed Hyst's father, Ounz Von Haven, first about the monthly meeting.

"Do you know of the monthly meeting held at the Adventurer's Guild?"

"Ah yes, that. It is indeed held every month, and I know this because I am also invited. Several figureheads representing the tops of different parts of the nearby cities are invited there to talk about what should happen next. It's quite cordial."

Ounz replied, not seeing where Lyrian was going with this question or why he was asking it.

"I see... if I want to join this meeting, would I be able to? It piques my interest."

Lyrian didn't want to reveal his full intentions with the meeting. Just to be safe, he wanted to keep his motives under the water for now.

"Well... it is a very formal meeting of important figures, but seeing as you are from Anaviotis, and an MVP no less sent to solve this very mission, I am sure you would be allowed to participate."

Ounz paused before saying.

"No matter what, I will try my best to book a spot for you tomorrow."

Lyrian was slightly taken aback to hear this.

"Tomorrow?" He questioned,

"Ah, yes, I forgot to tell you. The next monthly meeting is tomorrow, as it is the end of the month."

"I see... then that's perfect. It's better to get it over with as soon as possible."

He said, but also thought to himself, 'I thought I would get some time to cultivate while waiting for this meeting, but I guess that will have to wait...'
