CHAPTER 1131: CHAPTER 837: THE ELDEST MISS’S OLDER SISTER (PART 2)

But in Reiger’s view, from the moment they started fearing this and that, afraid to step onto the front stage and compete head-on with others, they had already lost.

At the very least, neither the Sword Saints nor the strategic-level Magicians would want to support them.

So eventually, Reiger simply stopped meeting them altogether.

During these days, one day, Yuri introduced someone to Reiger.

...

It was on a sunny morning.

Perhaps even the heavens and earth sensed the revitalization of the capital city, where snow had been falling continuously, but today it was unexpectedly clear and sunny, melting much of the snow on the roadside.

Reiger was accompanied by Liz, Yuloli, and Lilith, led by the butler to the reception room of the mansion.

Here, Yuri, along with Marilyn, was unusually having a lively conversation with a visiting guest, seemingly quite happy.

"You’re here?"

Noticing Reiger’s arrival, Yuri stopped conversing, turned her head, and waved to Reiger with a smile.

The lack of any constraints surprised Reiger.

Normally, except in front of people like Marilyn, Yuri rarely showed such an unwary attitude, like facing a friend.

Especially when outsiders were present, making this occasion even rarer.

Seeing Yuri like this, Reiger was also curious and looked at the visiting person.

It was a duo of females.

These two women were around the same age, similar to Ivy, roughly around 20 years old, at most not older than 25.

Among them, the slightly older one was sitting in front of Yuri, dressed in lavish attire, clearly a lady with a noble status, exuding an aura of authority.

The younger one was dressed almost like a secretary, possessing a sort of intellectual beauty.

Reiger’s gaze swept over both of them and quickly settled on the latter.

The reason was simple.

This intellectual-looking secretary resembled Yuri about six to seven parts.

And Reiger had seen that face before, not just once.

Although he hadn’t met her in person, in the magic crystal that the youngest Isu contributed as a favor, she had appeared with Yuri and Mistis.

The setting was the bathroom.

The state was completely unclothed.

"Could it be..."

Reiger suddenly had a guess about the visitor’s identity.

And Reiger’s arrival also prompted the person sitting opposite Yuri to stand up.

"I presume you are Lord Reiger Brillhaut?"

The person smiled generously, saluting Reiger.

"Who are you?"

Though Reiger had a guess about the visitor’s identity, he still asked.

"Let me introduce." Yuri immediately stood up and introduced to Reiger: "This is the head of the Letais Ducal household, the current Letais Duke."

Letais Ducal household.

This was a noble family mentioned in the past.

It was founded by the younger brother of the King of the Ginas Kingdom six generations ago. It has now lost its claim to the throne but still holds a very large territory in the east of the kingdom with significant prestige.

Met before, Nipede Jialan came from the Letais territory, personally serving as the Guest Elder of the Letais Family, benefiting from the Letais Family’s support in many magic studies and developments.

Yuri’s mother originally belonged to a family affiliated with the Letais Family, her parental home located in the Letais territory.

Yuri also said that her mother, after splitting with her father over her elder daughter’s marriage, that is Yuri’s sister’s marriage, took her daughter back to the Letais territory.

Now, Yuri’s sister is serving as the secretary of the current lord of the Letais territory, or the Letais Duke, assisting in handling various territorial affairs.

Currently, the Duke frequently mentioned by Yuri has arrived at the Franzer Mansion, right before Reiger.

"I am Isis Letais."

The visitor introduced herself like this, showing considerable respect to Reiger.

Then...

"I am Anlisa Franzer."

The woman who resembled Yuri about six to seven parts first scrutinized Reiger, and then respectfully saluted.

"Indeed." Reiger now showed a sudden realization, saying to Anlisa: "You must be Yuri’s sister, right?"

"Yes." Anlisa nodded, being quite solemn: "It seems my sister has been cared for by you. Please allow me to express my gratitude."

"I haven’t really taken care of her." Reiger glanced at Yuri, who was smiling beside him, saying: "It’s more that I have been taken care of."

After all, he had always stayed in the Franzer household, with Yuri responsible for his food and accommodations.

Nevertheless, Anlisa seemed to disagree.

"To have a renowned Sword Saint reside, this is something others couldn’t aspire to, Lord Brillhaut accepting my sister’s hospitality is already a tremendous favor, which cannot be considered as being cared for."

Anlisa’s attitude remained extremely solemn, causing Reiger to blink his eyes.

"Don’t mind." Yuri laughed softly, saying: "Anli tends to be overly serious; otherwise, she wouldn’t be pushed around by my father."

It’s known, Yuri’s father Eredman once planned to marry Anlisa off as a secondary wife to a seventy-something old Duke.

This matter left Yuri’s mother resentful, and Yuri evidently took it to heart as well.

However, Anlisa seemed like hearing some uncomfortable past event, smiled bitterly.

"That person is actually quite pitiful too, perpetually living in the family’s former glory, as if trapped by a curse, always thinking about restoring the family." Anlisa sighed: "Is he still the same?"

"Pretty much." Yuri commented nonchalantly: "After being crushed mentally by last time’s festival, he has isolated himself for a period, but according to letters from there, he has likely left his room and returned to his energetic self."

Speaking of which, Yuri also glanced at Reiger.

She didn’t tell anyone but her unreliable father, upon learning Reiger became Sword Saint, once frantically sent letters, urging Yuri to secure such a valuable talent, if possible through marriage, having him join the Franzer family.

This led Yuri to be frequently furious during that time.

Of course, whether her anger was towards her father or his unchanged ways, or at him manipulating her marriage, only she knew.

In summary, Yuri currently did not wish to mention him, getting upset whenever brought up.

"I am actually quite thankful to him?" Isis teased: "If not for him, Anlisa wouldn’t have returned to Letais territory with her mother, then I might have lost an excellent secretary."

"I am not that excellent, Lady Isis." Anlisa casually rebutted: "If I were competent, your marriage wouldn’t remain unsettled."

Isis was instantly choked.

This reminded Reiger of another matter.

"I remember Yuri mentioned, this person is already 24, unmarried due to various reasons, thus her marriage became the primary issue for the Letais Family and the Letais territory, even becoming a significant yearly topic in the capital?"

Reiger looked at Isis with some sympathy.

"Seems like she’s eager to marry."

While Reiger mentally disparaged Isis, Isis quickly changed the topic.

"Alright, you two, I didn’t come here for discussions about my marriage."

Isis pulled an invitation card from her bosom.

"I am here to invite you to the banquet."
