Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination
Chapter 270: Arrived at the Reinhard Familys MansionChapter 270: Arrived at the Reinhard Family's Mansion
Due to Elysia's acceleration magic, their journey became so short. It was only an hour or two away, and the Cuttexus City was already visible, not far in the distance.
Elysia revoked her magic and let Ariel control the Gravy Ark as usual until they land near the city's gate.
"Psst, Ely..." Evelyn approached with a soft whisper, right after she got off the Gravy Ark.
Elysia just tilted her head slightly, waiting for the next. "Hum?"
"Your acceleration magic is amazing. If I hadn't seen it in person before, I would doubt that you were an Apprentice Mage. The long journey was short, hehe... In our next free time, would you like to go to Ariatha City? I will be a good host to entertain you~" Evelyn slightly wiggled her hands with excitement towards her idea.
If her best friend was willing, she could go home or anywhere without taking a long trip.
"Oh, sure." Elysia didn't have any objections to it. She just nodded, and it pleased Evelyn a lot.
"Uhm? What are you talking about, Ely, Eve? Is it so secret that I shouldn't know?" Ella approached with a curious expression.
"Ella, we will visit Ariatha City soon. Would you like to come with us?" Evelyn smiled with enthusiasm, eagerly awaiting the opportunity in question. She intended to go home without telling her parents, something like a surprise and ta-da.
"Sure, with pleasure." Ella couldn't possibly refuse that. It was a captivating invitation, after all.
"O-oh, I'm a little dizzy. Ely, your magic is really high class. I'm sure we hit five digits kilometers an hour." Rosie wobbled a little, and Fran came to help her.

She already knew Elysia's true origins, after all. It was somewhat wrong to judge the Goddess's disciple with her common sense.
"Hehe..." Elysia just giggled.
After that, Ariel put the special Gravy Ark into her Space Bag, and they went to the city entrance gate. The arrival of Rosie's group had been announced in advance, making it easier for them.
Even a carriage had been prepared to escort them to the Reinhard Duke Family's territory.
"Woah, Cuttexus City looks like a mighty fortress. Uhm, as the name suggests, the capital city of the defense region." Evelyn looked outward with sparkling eyes. Finally, she got a chance to see the Southern Region's capital city.
That said, almost all the cities in this region had a solid defense system like an absolute fortress.
It was rather obvious about the difference between the Southern Region's vital cities and other regions regarding their security system. In this region, all security systems, including defense and attack, were visible to the eye. It was as if the city had already entered level five alert for the war against the Devil Race all the time.
"That's as expected for a vital city in the Southern Region, Eve. This is the region closest to the Devil Continent. The region with the most number of wars." Rosie rested her cheek against her hand, and she looked outward too.
"Is there a war going on around here? Against the Devil Race?" Elysia asked because she was a little worried that they would be dragged into a defensive battle.
"Well, if we put a small scale war aside, then there hasn't been any significant war in this region in the last six months. The Devil Race is too focused on the Western Region for many reasons." Maximilian answered with confidence. He put a hand on his chin to think for a moment. "Oh, so, you don't have to worry about war or anything."
Elysia, Ella, and Evelyn just nodded. They know the words were aimed at them. Rosie and Fran already knew that, so they didn't respond much.
At that time, Ella accidentally saw a group of boys and girls in black uniforms. They were walking casually with swords at their waists as if it wasn't a problem. She suddenly remembered that one of the three academies was in this city.
"Are they students of the Abluxeth Academy of Knights? They even carry their treasured weapons while roaming the city at ease. Is that okay according to the rules of this city?" Ella pointed out with her palm.
"Ah, that's fine. The students are leaving for the academy, and maybe their first hour is the practical class? The responsibility to carry weapons anywhere is not small, and not all students have such privileges." Rosie soothed Ella's worries, but her focus wasn't there.
They entered the area around the academy, and the students seemed to have just left for class. So, the current time was around 7 or 8 in the morning. They got to their destination much earlier, and it was sure to take her grandfather a little by surprise.
'Wow, Ely's acceleration magic is more superb than I thought. I didn't get to look at the clock earlier, but it's just wow! All right, on the next long journey, I'd better ask her to go together, hehe-he...' Rosie smirked as she rubbed her hands together.
Elysia felt a little tingling feeling that was coming out of the blue. When she searched for the source, she caught Rosie's strange expression when Rosie stared at her.
"Rosie, what's wrong? You're looking this way with a strange expression on your face." Elysia asked out of concern, even though she wasn't comfortable being stared at like that.
"Ah-uh, is that so? Hehe, it's nothing, Ely. Oh, look, it's my family's mansion territory. We're almost there." Rosie waved her hand in front of her face and immediately shifted the attention.
Following the direction of Rosie's finger, the girls turned their heads towards it. It was an area mansion surrounded by high walls and guarded by several knights. A few moments later, they entered through the main entrance and passed the checkpoint without a hitch.
"Huh? That's the Evans Royal Family carriage. Why is it there? Are there guests?" Fran muttered in surprise. He saw a luxurious carriage with the Cuttexus Kingdom symbol parked near the entrance to the mansion.
"It's possible, Fran. Could it be that His Majesty or Prince Ronan came to visit our grandfather?" Rosie could only guess at it, considering their grandfather had an exceptionally good relationship with Emperor Elliott.
As Rosie and Fran wondered, their carriage stopped near the entrance to the mansion. Then, two knights opened the carriage door. "Young Miss Rosie, Young Master Fran, and distinguished guests, we have arrived at the Reinhard Duke Family's mansion."
"Oh, right, here we are. Thank you for the escort, Sir Danny, Sir Charles." Rosie stepped out as she needed to convey courtesy to her family knight with a smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It's our duty, Young Miss Rosie. It looks like Emperor Elliott has come to see Master Harold again. Would you like to inform them before entering?" The knight shook his head with a smile. Then, he looked at the carriage Royal Family with speculation.
"That's not necessary, look... They're there." Rosie pointed towards the mansion's entrance which had suddenly opened, and several people walked out with leisurely steps. Her grandfather and Emperor Elliott were there. They came by themselves before even receiving word from her.
"Miss Ariel, Sir Maximilian, Miss Elysia, Princess Ella, Princess Evelyn. We have arrived at our destination. Please allow the Reinhard Family to host and receive you as honored guests." Fran invited with a polite hand gesture. He stepped down from the carriage and asked the others to come down too.
As a respond, Ariel replied as a representative, and they got off the carriage one by one.
Meanwhile, several people who had just walked out of the mansion couldn't help but notice the arrival of Rosie's group.
Harold looked at the cube clock from his Space Bag immediately. It was still around eight o'clock. His grandchildren arrived much earlier than reported. Was this a surprise or something from them?
"Ha-haha, Harold, my friend and my brother... They've arrived. It looks like I have to retract my goodbye." Elliot laughed with amusement. He just said goodbye, but he would turn around to be a guest again.
"Ho-ho, the pleasure is mine, Emperor Elliott. My family door is always open to you. They are-" Harold didn't hesitate to respond with a positive answer, but his words stopped halfway when the last girl just stepped out of the carriage.
He just needed to take a quick look, and he was sure his eyes didn't trick him. Rosie and Fran came home with Alisha? Alisha, his youngest granddaughter, was still alive... Yes, of course, that was for sure.
Harold didn't wait for anything, and he immediately rushed to the entourage of his grandchildren. There was only one thing on his mind, Alisha survived the tragedy. His youngest granddaughter didn't die from being devoured by that Spirit Beast or anything, but she was really one alive, right here, in front of him.
It was hard to believe, but he was grateful. His hands and feet were trembling a little with emotion, but he didn't care. He just wanted to hug his youngest granddaughter as soon as possible and say welcome back, and everything was all right.
"Grandfather, we're home! Sorry, we-" Rosie waved her hand at her grandfather. He walked closer, but why was it like running over? Unfortunately, she couldn't continue as her grandfather walked past her as if she wasn't there.
Vanessa jumped out of her master's arms, knowing what awaited her. She moved and nestled in Ella's arms because she didn't want to be crushed in the middle.
"Al- Alisha, you're still alive... Thank Goddess and her blessings. It's okay, grandfather is here. Everything is fine." Harold stuttered slightly and embraced Elysia with his trembling arms.
