Chapter 21@@novelbin@@

The day we returned from the "Wizard's Forest," the Imperial Palace was thrown into chaos.

It was understandable. We had been missing overnight, and we looked like drenched rats.

I slept like the dead for a day and, fortunately, didn't catch a cold, thanks to staying warm through the night.

The next day, as I was resting and recovering, Lady Mare came into my room.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Louis and Lord Sean are here. Should I let them in?"

Of course, they wouldn't just sit still. The Matreon brothers would be worried.

"Yes, please let them in."

As soon as I spoke, the door burst open.

"Livia!"

Sean rushed in with a serious look on his face.

"You were soaked to the bone in the Wizard's Forest, your dress was torn, and your hands were a mess! Are you okay?"

He wasn't wrong... but where should I even start explaining?

Louis chimed in.

"Livia, the other night, when you didn't return, we were going mad with worry. Sean and I went to Luminos to open the forest, but..."

"That guy refused, stubborn as a mule," Sean grumbled. "I almost got into a fistfight with him."

"...What?" I was incredulous. "You fought the guild master, Sean? That's crazy."

Louis sighed deeply. "As a result, Sean has been officially expelled from the wizard guild."

"Oh no."

I put a hand to my forehead. His fiery temper—what could I do about it? Wizards had no place to go if expelled from the guild.

I quickly recounted the events of that day. They listened gravely to my story.

"So, you found the herb but had a rough time with the monsters," Louis summarized.

* I hate losing. Giving up means losing.

* It sounds like you’ve said you’re fine ten thousand times. It makes me upset.
