Chapter 353
The meal was eventually finished, and Neon started to tidy up . Reiko decided to help out .
“Thank you, Reiko-san . ”
Neon expressed her gratitude, and Belche also bowed to Jin and Reinhart with a smile .
“Thank you for joining me for lunch . ”
At around that time, the town of Vanne on the opposite shore could be seen quite clearly . A wide canal continued all the way to the inland .
It seems like in this town as well, the defense against foreign enemies is provided by canals rather than by walls .
After entering the canal, and advancing for twenty minutes, the ship carrying the party on board reached the harbor .
“Reinhart-sama, today my father and brothers are having a meeting . ”
Belche said this to Reinhart as the ship was arriving at the dock .
“Oh, I see . You haven’t seen your father or brothers in quite some time, have you?”
The ship was docked . Reinhart quickly disembarked and held out his hand to Belche .
Belche took his hand with a smile, and disembarked next to him .
After seeing that, Reiko anticipated Jin’s disembarking and extended her hand . Although in Jin’s case, it was different . Despite he tilting his head he was pulled out of the ship by Reiko .
At the harbor there were some of Count Randall’s carriages already waiting for them . Jin and Reiko got on a large carriage along with Reinhart and Belche .
Since the vessel prepared by Belche was quite fast, the other large ship where the luggage and carriages were had yet to arrive . The delivery of those carriages and luggage will be duly carried out by the Randall household .
From the harbor, after 15 minutes of travel over the stone paved roads, the count’s residence finally came into sight .
It had 3 storeys, and it was firmly built in stone . It was about a third of Roizart’s Imperial Palace in size .
While the spires on top of each side were greatly different, the rest of the building bore a striking resemblance to the palace .
“Oh, it’s been a while!”
Looking at Reinhart being so delighted about being finally home, Belche smiled as well .

That night, they celebrated both Reinhart’s homecoming, and his fulfilling of his service as a peace diplomat . Furthermore, they excitedly celebrated a welcome party for Jin, despite his reluctance .
Jin arrived at Reinhart’s house and, much to his chagrin, ended up getting looked after by a maid and a butler . He only managed to put up with the whole ordeal since Reinhart had told him that it was ‘only for tonight’ .
“Reinhart, thank you for your service as a diplomat . ”
His father, Wolfgang Randall had said this as a toast . He resembled Reinhart in his grey hair and eyes, but he was different to his son because of his solid figure .
