The man and his family had left the royal capital so quickly that they had no time to discuss anything. Reality had caught up to the woman when she approached the border. However, the man holding the reins shook his head slowly.

“Do you think there’s another way?” The man directed his strong will and criticism toward his wife’s question. He wondered why she suddenly questioned everything. They had already escaped the capital and couldn’t simply return all high and mighty.

“You’re right... We have relatives in the Kingdom of Tarja and ties with my family, the Mondou Barony. It is a lot better than going to another country. But we’ll be labeled as traitors. Will they really accept us?”

Several noble houses in Rhoadseria and Tarja were blood-related, including the upper-level knight families. House Romaine was one of them, and it was a remnant of a time where both kingdoms put down their swords and observed a time of peace. Those blood relations were formed to honor the peace, even if it had been several decades ago.

Nowadays, the two kingdoms barely interacted. While they weren’t enemies, they viewed one another as opponents, which didn’tto nobles. They prioritized blood relationships above all else. Even if there were no longer any cross-country interactions, those with family kept in touch. As a result, the nobles of House Romaine believed they could rely on those family connections within the Kingdom of Tarja. But that was a one-sided assumption.

If they take us in, they’ll end up making enemies of House Romaine and Ryoma Mikoshiba, an influential man who climbed his way to the top. Will they take such risks and let us in? thought the woman.

The nobles of House Romaine had anticipated this happening when Viscount Romaine was arrested and sent a letter to their relatives in the Kingdom of Tarja. Those relatives had responded, saying they would happily take them in. But that was just words on a letter—and words were wind. They had no way of knowing if their relatives really would keep true to their word.

Once again, woman hesitated before posing another question to her husband.

“Couldn’t we have just accepted Ryoma Mikoshiba’s proposal? I know it is shameful to admit as a person related to House Romaine... But I still wonder, can’t we just rely on his mercy?”

From the wife’s perspective, this was a reasonable proposition. After all, Ryoma Mikoshiba had asked them to abandon House Romaine, live as ordinary commoners in town, and surrender all their possessions as money for reparations to the national treasury. It was a rather hefty price for them to pay. However, there was a proposal they would receive some of their fortunes back if they found jobs within the Grand Mikoshiba Duchy.

Considering what the Viscount did, I feel he was merciful toward us. He even arranged for us to continue to lead lives within the Kingdom of Rhoadseria.

That didn’t mean that the people of the country would suddenly hate them any less, even if they received pardon from Queen Radine.
