Chapter 395 Noble Funeral
Another day has passed…
Today was finally the day set for Vicente and Landon’s match at the association building.
As soon as the day began, Nova assured Vicente that she would watch his match at the Blacksmith’s Association, not only because she wanted to see him in action but also because of her progress.
Nova had been on the cusp of 2nd-stage for several days. With the situation in Millfall calming down and the emissaries from the capital about to arrive in the city, she wanted to use the next few days to enter seclusion and advance to 3rd-stage.
If she wanted to continue to grow in the army, this would be an important step for her. So today would be the last day she would be at Vicente’s side before she went into seclusion until she made her breakthrough.
Vicente took the opportunity to tell her that even if he won the challenge Benson proposed, he would be leaving town soon on business and wouldn’t see her for days or weeks. Depending on when she was released to hunt her next pentagram, he wouldn’t see her again until she returned.
So they had agreed that after the fight at the association, they would have dinner and then go to her house for an evening alone.
These were their plans for later. But by nightfall, each of them had a business to attend to, and they parted as soon as the sun rose.
Vicente stayed at home and practiced his skills, which he had already refined to the point where he could produce items with between 80% and 90% efficiency using his “normal” skills.
When he used his magnetic ability, he could go over 90%!
But even with his ability from his first magical form, Vicente still couldn’t produce 2nd-grade items with 100% efficiency. It was too difficult, and he would still need some time to develop his understanding of forging to achieve such a feat.
But he hoped to accomplish this before the soldiers from the capital arrived to investigate him.
In any case, he planned to continue with his identity as Vicente until he reached the 3rd-stage. After that, he intended to return as Cesar and try to develop his weapons further before setting out to rescue Jasmine and hunt down a green pentagram!
That was his plan for the next few days and weeks. After finishing his morning training at the forge, Vicente left his house and went to the local cemetery to relax a bit.
Viscount Symons’ funeral was taking place, and Shelby would surely be there. In search of a conversation with her, Vicente used this time of rest before his afternoon training, going to the Field of Souls, where many people were saying goodbye to the head of the Symons family.
Neither the Viscount nor the members of the Symons family had been left whole. They had all been obliterated, so there was no evidence of exactly how they had been killed.
But in the Seidel Kingdom, there was a culture of saying goodbye to the dead, of keeping their remains, or at least their gravestones, in a place where they wouldn’t be completely forgotten.
The members of the Symons family were part of a noble house in the kingdom, so they had a special place in Millfall’s highest graveyard.
Thus, even without a body, a large funeral was organized to bury the Viscount, Marcus, and the wife of the Symons family head.
Arriving at the Field of Souls, Vicente entered this place for the first time. It was very beautiful, with well-organized and well-maintained lawns and tombstones, sculptures here and there, and a large tree in the central part of the cemetery.
Under that tree were dozens of very well-dressed people, including all the nobles of Millfall and some of their relatives, there to fulfill their mission.
As nobles, they owed respect to those of higher rank. Attending the funeral of a local Viscount was an obligation for all of them.
That was also the case for the army soldiers who were there, led by Nova, who was in charge of the city at the time.
Vicente saw Nova from a distance, while this woman with beautiful light blue hair spotted him easily.
‘What is he doing here? Is it because of the business opportunity?’ She thought to herself as she looked at Vicente.
But neither she nor he looked for each other. He went straight to a beautiful young woman with orange hair.
“Shelby, my condolences on your loss.” He said to his ally as Shelby’s family members listened as they watched him embrace her.
It was bizarre for these members of the Staples family to see these two young people together, and they couldn’t help but think how wrong Vicente’s words were. πͺπ.πΈπ°
Shelby ignored the looks in her direction and said in Vicente’s ear, covering her lips with one hand. “Thank you for everything. You’ve helped me a lot. I won’t forget it, Vice.”
“Don’t worry. We still have a lot to do together.” He told her quietly.
Previously, Vicente had been unhappy with how Shelby approached him and intended to get rid of her one day. But after so many things together, so many plans they had, he had begun to see this woman differently. .
He didn’t trust her blindly but didn’t want to eliminate her anymore.
She asked him. “When will you deal with Snow Claw? The clock is ticking, and soon, the opportunity I told you about will come.”
“I’ll try to reach the 3rd stage soon, and then I’ll go to Ironcrest. After that, I intend to go after that person. I think there will be time.”
“Good, but don’t take too long, or we’ll miss our chance.” She said in his ear before moving away from Vicente and raising her tone. “Thank you, Vicente. By the way, let me introduce you to my family. I don’t think I’ve had the chance yet.”
She indicated her family members with one hand while her father and brother looked at Vicente strangely, feeling that this young man shouldn’t be there.
There were strange rumors about what Vicente and Shelby were doing in hiding… It wouldn’t do for them to be so intimate at her fiancΓ©’s funeral!
The Staples patriarch said in disgust. “Kid, you never should have come to this event. Look at the people commenting.”
Vicente looked over and saw several of the Symons family’s relatives talking to local nobles while they understood that Vice was for Shelby.
The Symons family relatives naturally gave him ugly looks, not liking his audacity to attend this event.
Vicente laughed inwardly but didn’t leave. He walked over to some of his local partners there while Shelby and Nova looked at him intently occasionally.
Amid this, Livia became aware of a local interest on the part of her great rival…
