Chapter 89.1: Good Children (1)

Upon hearing that young Brduhe children were also coming, Achladda had an expression of discomfort.

Why is that?

The stars of Brduhe are rather daunting to deal with.

The centaurs, like the people of the Empire, or even more so, were believers in superstition.

To them, Dukes children, who were twins and strikingly alike, were a spine-chilling existence.

Are there any among them to be wary of?

Hmm, no, its not like that. Theyre all conscientious people.

Achladda stated this definitively, which made Johan more curious.

Even with so many of them?

If there had been any among them who were debauched or delinquent, it would have been less daunting.

In those times, being lustful or gluttonous was not particularly problematic. The church might disapprove, but others would likely praise such behavior as hearty.

However, there were no such rumors about Dukes children. They were all reputed to be faithful, humble, and capable.

Even with the prestige of the Dukes family, such rumors would have been hard to spread if they were not true to some extent.

Oh. . .

Johan was quite amazed. He knew well, having many half-siblings himself and being familiar with the case of the Abner family.

Generally, noble families, except for the firstborn, did not live restrained lives.

While the firstborn had to succeed the family and live a politically calculated life, the rest could live as they pleased, wherever and however. . .

Yet, it was strange for all the children to be so diligent, even considering this was a coincidence.

Has the Duke decided on a successor yet?

What?

It seems unlikely theyd be so diligent without ambition.

. . .!

Sir, I have a question Id like to ask.

What is it?

How did you catch the werewolf?

Hmm.

Johan hesitated.

Should he tell?

The conversation with Achladda earlier and this question made it clear. The Dukes children were competing. He didnt know yet what they were after or why they were competing. . .

, .

If the Duke represents current power, his children are the future power. It wouldnt hurt to get close to them.

I knocked him down and then strangled him to death.

. . .I see, Sir Johan. I understand. I was thoughtless to ask.

??

Johan was confused.

, .

Realizing his mistake, Johan internally cursed. Mixing with the eastern warriors had eroded his common sense.

The Dukes children werent like the warriors who believed whatever Johan said. Such talk could only be interpreted as ?

The Duke must have instructed you.

No. . . Well, yes. . .

It may be too late to say this, but if you could keep the fact that I said this a secret, I will not forget your kindness.

Im not someone who goes around talking nonsense, Sir. And my memory isnt great either.

. . .Thank you.

When Johan reassured him, the Dukes eldest son neatly gave up, thanked him, and left. His eyes mixed with disappointment and gratitude.
