The Witch Hunter System

After returning to Helia ’s Castle, Vaan joined Helia Ashenborn for dinner in the Great Hall. The table and chairs were already set up, and the food was already laid out upon his arrival.

Surprisingly, only Helia Ashenborn was present at the dining table.

Helia Ashenborn waved her hand and dismissed Hester Thornton and the rest of the servants from the Great Hall, leaving Vaan and her alone.

”I ’m sure you ’ve already heard from Hester, but please join me for dinner, Sir Vahn, ” Helia Ashenborn gestured to the seats in front of her before continuing, ”You don ’t have to worry about my daughters joining us for dinner. ”

”I ’ve sent them elsewhere to make it more comfortable for you, ” Helia Ashenborn added.

Evidently, Helia Ashenborn hadn ’t overlooked her daughters ’ attitude during their first meeting with Vaan and was aware of their condescending attitudes.

Yet despite that, Helia Ashenborn simply sent them to have dinner elsewhere instead of educating them about Vaan ’s importance and how to treat him.

A dozen thoughts flashed across Vaan ’s mind before he guessed it was Helia Ashenborn ’s way of handling her children.

One of her children will eventually succeed her and become the new lord of Redpine City one day. But until then, she will only observe and select the most worthy successor among her children rather than nurture one from the start.

”I am flattered by Lord Helia ’s consideration, ” Vaan expressed his gratefulness before smiling wryly, ”However, I ’m afraid this will only make the young ladies dislike me even more. They will feel like I, a man, is more important than them. ”

”Which is not wrong, though it isn ’t generally the case, ” Helia Ashenborn casually replied.

”However, behind you stands the Delarosa Household, and we have a business partnership. Thus, even if you are a man, your importance exceeds theirs. ”

”If my daughters cannot collect the information to understand that much, then none of them are ready to succeed me, ” Helia Ashenborn coolly stated.
