The jade pendant Lord Lindenborg gave Leyang looked incredibly valuable at first glance.

It felt smooth and warm to the touch, with a faint, special magic flowing within—calming the mind and refreshing the spirit.

To casually give away such a treasure, his third brother-in-law must truly be broad-minded.

His third sister, Nepis Ginal, had indeed found a good match.

Though their age gap was nearly ten years, nothing mattered more than their happiness.

It turned out Nebis Light had already arranged everything. These carriages would transport Nebis Territory’s citizens to Lapoloka.

From now on, they’d be Lapoloka’s people.

Only the Nebis family would remain in Nebis Territory.

But there was no helping it. As a lord, he’d been so incompetent he couldn’t even feed his people.

Without his daughter’s blessing, no one would’ve taken the elderly and women. He couldn’t bear watching them starve.

Lord Lindenborg gave Leyang enrollment tips for Kamila Noble Academy. He’d send someone in two days to take him there. Then the group drove off, leaving Nebis Territory.

Nebis Light, Nebis Leyang, and Bernard Meda watched their figures fade away.

“Only us left now. I’ve truly become a lord with no subjects,” Nebis Light muttered with a bitter smile.

“It’s alright. We’re here with you. Let’s go home,” Bernard Meda said kindly. She took their hands and led them back to the manor at a leisurely pace.

For the next two days, Leyang didn’t visit the Monster Woods again.

Once he left for Camilla City, he’d only return home twice a year.

Before parting, he stayed to cherish time with his parents.

Crops in the fields were ripening—a good omen.

Whenever free, Leyang locked himself in his room to cultivate his skills. He didn’t know Doloryara Continent’s ranking system, but he was surely stronger than Bronze rank.

At dawn, carriage hooves echoed outside.

Since today was special, Bernard Meda woke Leyang early. She dressed him in a new outfit—he looked sharp and spirited.

Before leaving, she whispered the same old advice in his ear: dress warmly for weather changes, stay cautious outside, be smart with people, avoid scams…

Parents really were the same in every world. Leyang just kept nodding.

“Young Master Leyang, time to go,” a butler-like man called from outside.

Just then, Nebis Light entered. He patted Leyang’s shoulder. “Go. Take care of yourself.”

“I know, Dad,” Leyang nodded firmly.

“Forgot anything?” Bernard Meda asked worriedly.

“Nope. We’ve nothing worth bringing anyway,” Leyang smiled, shaking his head.

“Go safely. Your mother and I will wait for you,” Nebis Light said.

“Mhm. I’m off. Take care, Mom and Dad,” Leyang waved. He ran to the butler and climbed into the carriage.

The man bowed to them and drove off slowly.

Bernard Meda sobbed into Nebis Light’s chest. His eyes reddened too.

Their hearts ached, but they had to let him go.

At Kamila Noble Academy, their son would get the best education and change his fate.

“May I ask your name?” Leyang called from the carriage.

“If Young Master doesn’t mind, call me Uncle Ma,” the butler replied calmly, without turning.

“Uncle Ma, thanks for coming all this way,” Leyang said warmly.

“What a sensible lad. Lord and Lady ordered it—I’m just doing my duty. Don’t overthink it,” Uncle Ma glanced back with a kind smile.

“How long to Camilla City from Nebis Territory?” Leyang asked curiously.

“Hmm… ten days if fast, twenty if slow.”

“Half a month on this bumpy carriage?” Leyang grimaced. He felt sick already.

Ancient roads were nothing like modern ones. Riding this long would make anyone vomit.

Transport here was truly inconvenient.

“Endure it. Tell me if you need anything,” Uncle Ma said gently, noticing his gloom.

“Uncle Ma, stop at the next crossroad. I need to fetch something,” Leyang said quickly.

“Oh? What is it? I’ll get it.”

“No need—just trinkets to sell in Camilla City.”

“Then hurry back, young master.”

“Thanks, Uncle Ma.”

The carriage soon halted.

Leyang jumped out and sprinted to a secluded spot.

He dug through soil covered in dead branches and leaves.

When he saw the two buried packages, a happy smile spread across his face—

“Great. They’re still here.”
