Chapter 145
“You think this ht be lenient, but don’t you think there’s so with our hierarchy?”
“…”
Rivelia faced Isaac’s gru a sword sick?”
“… She never would have gotten to this point if she was the type to fake sickness in the first place”
“Why of all days does she have to be sick today”
“She’s been suffering from tremendous anxiety recently, despite her attempts to not let it show I assume the adrenaline from recent events has worn off”
Today was the cererand festival since the , but Laila, the one to attend the ceremony, suddenly fell sick
Isaac saw Laila with an intense fever, so he ordered her to be seen by a healer But the idea was opposed by not only the healer but Rizzly and Rivelia as well They explained that using healing ic on a child who had yet to develop their immune system was akin to poison
There was no one else fit to replace her
Considering the significance of this reunification, it warranted the presence of a prominent representative
In New Port City, only Isaac and his adopted child Laila had the authority to play this role
Which hy Isaac had to go in place of the sick Laila
Of course, Isaac practically vaulted off his chair and refused to attend outright Boiling with a fever and stuo Isaac pointed at her, arguing ‘she says she’s going!’
Rivelia, who had been using kind words to try to convince Isaac at first, exploded in anger ‘I believe there exists an excellent saying in your world, Director,’ she had quoted, ‘to kill first and think later’ Isaac gave up his ground quickly after
So Isaac had to attend in place of Laila Rivelia had originally wanted to decline the invitation addressed to the Pendleton nao alone, and Rizzly wished to tend to Laila So Rivelia ended up deciding to acco to convince ht”
Isaac crossed the Sky Bridge to enter Port City Isaac sreat festivities
New Port City citizens laughed and chatted as they ate and drank at the city’s expense Elves and North Bears joined the cause And behind theroups of Port City citizens, blatant disdain and hatred in their eyes as they watched the New Port City citizens Isaac breathed in the situation to the fullest
For people of New Port City who’d just begun to adjust to clean streets of their city, Port City was a different world—a place of pristine roads and buildings exhibiting fabulous decorations
Was this not the forbidden land, a land which they ad?
The city that had brought them despair and defeat was now under their feet, where they could eat and drink for free But what excited the was that people of Port City could only watch in displeasure
Many roads bubbled with clashes between excited New Port City citizens and Port City citizens who still reuhts between them were mediated by Port City’s police ere blatantly biased and tried to actively suppress New Port City citizens, but the New Port City citizens had the elves and North Bears on their side
Whenever these non-huht the police weren’t fair, they’d intervene without question and remind New Port City citizens to ‘tell that to Isaac if you think it’s not fair’ The police had no choice but back off with their tails in between their legs
Of course, both the police and non-humans showed no mercy when it ca them heavily to make examples out of them This established proper order in the festival
After a number of criroups resolved to siht that depicts exactly what you’d expect in this situation”
But even this bustling and soed when Isaac appeared The hter disappeared
If it was a normal festival, people would have cheered or praised Isaac, their Lord
But both New Port City citizens that enjoyed the festival and the displeased Port City citizens shut their ht They dared not turn their faces away, only looking at their feet waiting for Isaac to pass quickly
The sea of people split into two on their own
Isaac poh the convenientlywith relief that she wouldn’t hear hi at the very least
In front of Port City’s City Hall, a sea of people aiting for the ceremony to start
As if to prove the benefits of recent technology, screens were installed along many of Port City’s roads so people unable to find a space in front of Port City’s City Hall could watch
The lectern where the ceremony was to commence shone with absolute luxury as if to demonstrate New Port City’s newfound wealth It was almost mysterious as to why Cordnell allowed such an expenditure on so that would only be used once
And next to this lectern, representatives and the administrative bodies of both cities waited for the most important member of the cast
“What do you mean I’m late? I ined how refreshi+ng it’d be to s Isaac as she followed behind
“Huh? What are those guys doing here? Are they here as volunteers or so between the lectern and citizens Rivelia smirked and answered
“They’ve all volunteered to stand guard for Laila”
Isaac looked back at Rivelia duuard work for the brat when they don’t even do it for me?”
“Yes”
“Why?”
“Because Laila has recruited agents of Security”
