Chapter 116: Cleaning Up After the Festival
As a result of the tragedy that occurred during the Royal Academy event, the Monster Hunt Festival, the academy had to close for a while. An unusually high number of students died, and there were casualties among the faculty and student council members who tried to rescue them. Although there were hardly any participants among the first-year students, some of them lost seniors with whom they had close relationships.
It was announced that classes at the academy would not resume for at least a month, and the final exams scheduled for after the event were canceled.
“It’s absolutely unbelievable… I never thought it would get this bad.”
“Indeed… I’m relieved that Rest-sama wasn’t injured…”
In the townhouse of the Rosemary Marquis family in the capital.
Viola and Primula, sitting on the sofa in the parlor, shared dark expressions.
“Yeah… I’m glad both of you are safe.”

Rest, sitting between them on the same sofa, also agreed.
During the Monster Hunt Festival, while Rest was on the frontline as part of the rescue team, the Rosemary sisters were in the rear tents assisting with the event’s operations.
Later, it was revealed that when the stampede caused by Sabnok occurred, the two sisters were planning to rush to the plain to search for Rest.
They would have surely been in danger if they hadn’t been stopped by Celestine Crocus, the daughter of the Duke, and their father, Albert Rosemary.
“Please, promise me you won’t do anything reckless like that again!”
“Yeah! Rest-sama is the son-in-law of the Rosemary Marquis family!”
“Yes… I’ll be careful.”
Chastised once again, Rest became crestfallen.
When he reported that he had fought and defeated Sabnok, the master of the monster realm…they were surprised and at the same time gave him a tough lecture.
There was nothing Rest could do but reflect on his actions. He was scolded, apologized profusely, and ended up being overwhelmed with remorse by the sisters.
“Ugh… If only I had participated in something so exciting!”
Ad
A fourth person in the parlor raised their voice.
The regretful words came from Yuri Catreya, Rest’s classmate and friend.
“Oh… Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying it was ‘exciting’ that people died. I just mean that maybe I could have helped too!”
“I understand… If you had actually been there, maybe the Knight Commander would have gone crazy.”
Yuri is the daughter of Knight Commander Iljas Catreya.
She is the only daughter among many sons and is said to be excessively doted on by her father.
To escape from her father’s excessively obsessive affection, Yuri ran away from home and attends the academy.
By the way, Yuri was staying at the Rosemary Marquis family during the school closure.
This was because the dormitory where she lived was temporarily closed due to the incident.
“I heard my father was coming as a guest, so I didn’t participate… I never expected such a commotion. Did Rest fight the Lord of the monster territory? Was he really strong?”
Ad
“It was incredibly… Honestly, I think it’s a miracle that I won.”
As expected of the lord of the monster territory.
Even the corrosive beasts alone were formidable enough, and it might have been dangerous without Lubase’s reinforcement.
The relief of surviving was greater than the joy of achieving what no one had done since the founding of the country.
“If news of Rest defeating the lord of the monster territory spreads, he’ll become a hero overnight. It must be a matter of great pride for his fiancée.”
“I’d like to say ‘Indeed, Rest-sama is amazing,’ but please refrain from saying such things, okay?”
“I understand… I’m sorry.”
“I see, I see… By the way, I wonder if the royal family will give any commendations for defeating Sabnok?”
Rest, still bowing his head, looked up again as Yuri curiously placed a finger on her lips.
“You achieved what no one else could. I don’t think medals or rewards are enough, but did the royal family say anything?”
“That’s the thing…”
Just as Rest was about to answer Yuri’s question, there was a knock on the parlor door.
“My ladies, Miss Celestine Crocus, the daughter of the Duke, is here.”
“Please let her in.”
“At once.”
The maid stepped back, allowing a new person to enter the parlor.
“Good day. It seems like everyone is gathered here.”
Entering the parlor was Celestine, the daughter of the Prime Minister.
She curtsied gracefully, picking up the hem of her skirt as she smiled gently.
“As I mentioned earlier… I have come today to tell Rest-sama something. It’s about the reward for defeating Sabnok.”
