The Most Satisfied Reincarnate

-Present Time-

Desmond, who had just arrived with a gloomy expression, saw that his mother and Clementine were standing in front of him.

"What's wrong, mother?" Desmond was in a bad mood when he heard the previous maid's words; he saw his mother turn around and look at him with a look of admiration.

Hmm?

As Leona turned around, Clementine also turned around and saw Desmond from behind of her fan. "Your subordinates have come." She chuckled before finally moving away from them.

Bastian then came over to his son and held his shoulder, "Forgive father for forgetting to teach you to save money properly." His father's face looked like a living corpse.

After saying that, Bastian then stood behind his wife, looking at the clouds in the sky.

Desmond already had a guess when he saw this, he tried to glance at the scene behind his mother, but his mother suddenly blocked him and looked at him seriously.

"Son, I just want to make sure. How much money did you get after selling the wine?" Leona folded her arms opposite while narrowing her eyes when she saw her son.

Hearing this question, Desmond looked at his mother expressionlessly, "That's not much, around 50.00 gold coins." He answered casually.

And it was only when he saw that his mother was shocked that Desmond could take a peek at the landscape behind him.

I see, so they've come. But this is less than I expected, he thought inwardly.

He also saw Katrina waving her hands lowly as their eyes met. After Desmond answered his mother's question, he immediately headed straight for Katrina.

"Good morning, Ms. Katrina." Desmond greeted, stretching out his hand.

"Good morning, Master Desmond." Katrina grabbed Desmond's hand, handing over the scroll she had brought. She added, "This is our agreement that has been agreed upon by both parties.

"We apologize for our guild's incompetence. We can only summon a few mercenaries to protect Master Desmond." Katrina paused to take a breath.

Which means she really did not put more effort into recruiting them. Basically she just wanted to hire who is available in the guild.

"Those who refuse to say that 'this mission is tantamount to suicide' given the news of the Beast Races roaming the kingdom." After she finished speaking, she gulped and straightened her stance.

This means you have a lot of money. Instead of me, why not you hired them?

It is true that I once said, working with intelligent people is very helpful. But it is the same as a double-edged sword.

"I see; thank you for your help, Ms. Katrina." Desmond gave a faint smile before finally looking at the mercenaries he got.

Most of them are just Novice or Disciple, which means they are Low-Class Mercenaries.

Desmond then glanced at another section, where there were only mercenaries in luxurious clothes and handsome and beautiful faces.

Oh, those are the mercenaries who escorted Alice to the Academy.

He recognizes one of the females that gave him a strange impression.

Veronica, the leader of the Steel Legion, felt a gaze that she was being watched. She turned around and saw a child she seemed familiar but not clearly remember.

Seeing that the boy was staring at her without expression made her wonder; she gave a smile and waved a hand at him.

The action from Veronica attracted the attention of the other members of the Mercenaries Steel Legion, "Sis, who are you talking to?" asked one of the women from its members.

"It's just a formality of work," Veronica kept smiling and waving until the boy turned his attention to the other mercenaries. 

"Oh, that boy is quite handsome; he also seems to have an athletic build. Even though the aura and charisma emitted is just normal but why do I feel like there is something wrong with him?" replied the other female members of the Steel Legion.

...

After Desmond finished checking all the mercenaries he was going to bring, he approached his mother, looking at him with a curious gaze.

"Have you been done playing  with those naughty flowers?" Leona stated and looked at Desmond seriously.

Desmond's expression turned ugly again at this, "It's just business." He answered calmly as usual and without emotion.

Seeing this, worry rose in Leona's eyes when she saw the cold expression of her son, "Are you feeling unwell, son?" she went straight to Desmond and held Desmond's cheeks.

"I'm fine," Desmond looked away and let go of his mother's hand, "I want to discuss something further with the guild staff." He pointed at Katrina before leaving Leona and then walked over.

Seeing this, Leona's eyes water. But she suddenly felt a warmth that made her stop feeling sad. "Maybe he's still in his teenage years." 

Or not, my son is fucking rich guy! I should ask him for my money from him later...

Bastian came and immediately hugged his wife when he saw the conversation he had with their son. He also felt that his son had suddenly changed two days ago without reason.

"Enn," Leona answered with a moan. She enjoyed her husband's hug for a while before releasing him in a hurry.

....

"Everything I have checked, and this is enough for my trip; once again, thank you." Desmond lowered his head slightly.

After all, Katrina has kept her promise even though she only brought a few mercenaries. At least Desmond was a person who knew how to be grateful.

"It's not a big deal, then I'll announce your departure now."

Even though she had hesitated earlier because the aura and charisma he usually emitted disappeared but seeing Desmond's usual polite ethics made her effort feel worth it. 

"Wait a minute, Ms. Katrina," Desmond spoke while blocking Katrina from advancing. Desmond added, "My mother said that she also invited someone to accompany my trip."

"Very well then. If possible, please prepare them a place to take shelter if this goes on for a long time."

"Yes, thanks again, Ms. Katrina." This time Desmond smiled awkwardly; he glanced at the mercenaries. Luckily it's not daytime; if so, maybe they've been complaining from earlier.

Desmond then saw Katrina walking in the middle, which caught all the mercenaries' attention.

Because his distance from Katrina was so far away, he could not clearly hear Katrina's words, which even made the mercenaries' atmosphere silent and focused on hearing her voice.

"Ouch, my head." Desmond's main door opened again, showing Diana with her disheveled clothes and hair. "Why I'm feeling weak now?" Diana is currently being helped walk with Desmond's maid.

When Clementine saw this, she instantly became worried and went straight to her daughter, "What happened, Diana?" she checked all parts of Diana's body and found no injuries.

She then looked at her friends, Leona and Desmond. "Can someone explain this?" She glared at them, especially Desmond.

Leona was confused about what to do, but she then saw her son approach Clementine.

"I'm sorry, she suddenly entered my room while I was trying a new spell that made her faint." This time, Desmond apologized while making a guilty expression.

"Is that true, Diana?" Clementine did not immediately believe Desmond's words; she looked at her daughter, who seemed to be half-conscious.

"Ah? Yes, mother. " Diana, who has just recovered, can't actually remember clearly; she just answered this spontaneously.

"I see," Clementine's expression softened; she then looked at Desmond with a happy smile. "Is it possible that we can be friends again?" she extended her hand towards Desmond

Clementine added, "Honestly, I want to apologize to you, but I don't have courage, so I ordered my daughter but eventually bother you while practicing spells." She smiled sadly, three years had passed, and the relationship between them was still cold as usual.

"Let's start over ?" Clementine smiled while looking at Desmond's hand; she became afraid that Desmond would reject it.

At first, she only thought of Desmond as a suitable candidate for Diana and her family's future. But over time, the 'candidate' developed so rapidly that it made her even more eager to set him up with Diana.

But because of that thought, their relationship was limited to partners who both looked for profit. During these three years, she thought and finally realized her feelings that she already considered Desmond as her own son-in-law and her own son. 

Therefore, Leona's arrival made her a little jealous, and she was also reluctant to tell her this.

...

Meanwhile, Desmond looked at this expressionlessly. He was calm as usual; it was hard to tell what he thought if people saw him outside.

Actually, I was wrong too. It just a small problem, but my pride does not allow it until my own mother asked me to accept Clementine's request.

Well, I also still want to use Clementine's connection in the future, Desmond thought inwardly.

After thinking this through carefully, then Desmond shook Clementine's hand, "No problem, my friend." He smiled faintly at Clementine, causing Clementine to burst into tears of joy.

On the other hand, when Diana saw this, she did not understand how complicated her mother's relationship with this stupid child was. But when she looked back at her mother's smile, she only understood that they made up.

Just as they were shaking hands, the sound of horses' footsteps could be heard in the distance. This attracted all the attention, including the mercenaries who stood on the front page.
