“Okay. timber Bring something tasty when you come back.”

Leo left the mansion in high spirits.

“Is that something you should say to your brother? armor I’m heading out.”

His sister was doing well at the mansion. wizard She had become much more lively while spending time with peers, and she had even started conversations herself, something she rarely did before.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Leo spared no expense and hailed a carriage.

“Please take me to Erarin Boulevard.”

Although it was just small talk, seeing Lena so energetic made Leo feel life was worth living.

The boulevard was wide enough for three carriages to pass simultaneously, and among the noble’s attendants walking along the boulevard, security guards roamed in groups.

Leo stopped the carriage in front of one mansion. zenith It was the mansion of Marquis Tatian.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Leo knew well how extravagant this was in a place where such things were not common.

He clicked his tongue and approached the guard at the mansion, handing over an envelope.

Using expensive iron just to fence the garden… simply to show off.

On the surface, it didn’t look much different from the surrounding mansions, but one difference was that this mansion was surrounded by high iron bars instead of stone walls, making the garden inside visible.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Upon confirming the seal on the envelope, the guard promptly led Leo to meet a stern-looking butler who guided him inside.

Despite being filled with all sorts of decorations, murals, paintings, chandeliers, carpets, antique furniture, sculptures, staircases, curtains, and drapes, the overall atmosphere was cold and subdued. atomic The servants moving around wore expressions that seemed like part of the heavy decor.

The interior of the mansion was surprisingly calm.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

After a while, the butler, checking the time, guided Leo to another room.

The butler led Leo to a reception room, mentioning that the marquis’s schedule had not yet ended, and offered him light refreshments.

The butler didn’t sit and stood stiffly. absorb Leo tried to make some conversation, but all he got were short responses like “Yes” or “Indeed.”

“Master, a guest with the seal has arrived.”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

The butler let Leo in, handed the envelope to a middle-aged man with his arms resting on a massive desk, then retreated courteously.

“Let him in.”

A slightly hoarse voice came from inside.

The butler, confirming that Leo was not a noble, announced him plainly. august If he were a noble, the butler would have said something like “You have a visitor.”

Seeing him, Leo understood why the mansion’s atmosphere was both splendid and subdued.

Leo stood before the man who seemed to be the marquis.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Despite his luxurious attire, the marquis exuded a restrained charm with his thin but prominent eyebrows, icy blue eyes, and bloodless lips.

The marquis flinched slightly before rising from his seat.

After examining the envelope, the marquis dismissed the knight beside him. arctic Only then did Leo follow proper etiquette.

The mansion resembled this cautious-looking man.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Thanks to his knowledge of {noble society}, Leo could step into the world of nobles.

Nobles built relationships through etiquette, which commoners could never comprehend. arcade They communicated and confirmed each other’s positions through gestures of etiquette.

He returned the courtesy with the same Imperial etiquette that Leo used from the Arcaea Empire.

“You’re not just a mere thug, are you? arch My apologies.”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

“I am but an illegitimate child.”

“Your manners are excellent. arrow Which noble family do you belong to?”

The marquis offered Leo a comfortable seat before sitting down himself.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

“Hmm? adapt This envelope was sent to request a commission… I heard the Rauno family has no noble patrons?”

“That’s correct.”

Leo lied. apron For the promiscuous nobles, illegitimate children were common and served as a perfect excuse, but the marquis raised his thin eyebrows.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

“I see. auction I was wondering why such a young man came.”

“I was born to a lowly family and, with my meager swordsmanship skills, sought refuge with the Rauno family. admire There’s no direct connection between the family and my lineage.”

Leo continued his bluff.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

“I’d prefer to serve tea, but… let’s have a drink instead.”

The marquis finally seemed convinced, nodding, and then rose to fetch an exquisite bottle and glasses from a cabinet behind him.

Leo was delighted and secretly hoped it was something very strong.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Leo began talking about the princess.

“Thank you. accent Nothing was inconvenient. canvas Ah! harbor I saw flowers blooming on the way. orbit Even in winter. atomic They must be artificial.”

“Have a drink. legend Was there anything inconvenient on your way here?”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Leo could directly ask why he wanted to end his lineage, but since the marquis offered to get to know each other over drinks, Leo played along.

They didn’t always have to. abandon If there was something urgent or emotions were high, they spoke their minds directly, as the marquis did when startled by Leo’s etiquette.

Nobles enjoyed cleverly exchanging words to confirm each other’s interests, avoiding direct conversations.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

The marquis took a sip of the strong liquor and spoke.

Their conversation was full of metaphors, but Leo learned a lot.

“You’ve seen something rare. arena Such artificial flowers…”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Marquis Benar Tatian pressed down the ice in his drink with a teaspoon and spoke.

However, Leo avoided touching on sensitive subjects. airport The marquis seemed to prefer it that way, and they smoothly moved past the topic. agent As the light buzz of the alcohol set in, their conversation grew increasingly blunt.

“I’m trying to avoid a storm, but I’m worried because the sailors have no fear. acquire A captain must do everything to keep the ship from sinking.”

It seemed Toton Tatian had rejected the marquis’s proposal.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Did he like the princess that much?

The marquis concluded briefly.

The Swordmaster’s son followed his father’s word, but for some reason, the marquis’s son was being stubborn.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

He intended to kill his son and adopt an heir. admire Leo’s eyes sparkled at this.

“We’ll have to borrow a sailor from another ship.”

“You’ll need an excellent sailor. admire But no ship will easily part with such a sailor…”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

He subtly clenched his fist as he spoke.

“You’ll need a sailor whose skills are not yet known.”

Leo cleared his throat.

The marquis didn’t miss Leo’s gesture. arch He smiled gently and calmed Leo’s excitement with a reasonable statement.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

It wasn’t a rejection, so Leo’s small hope swelled.

“Absolutely. atomic There’s nothing harder than choosing the right people. arcade I met someone on a ship once. attic At that time…”

“It’s a difficult task. auction I’d need to see him at work. atomic It will take time.”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Breaking a plate meant causing trouble before marriage.

“Oh, indeed. arena There’s no one closer than family. echo My old friend once broke a plate…”

It was a declaration that the marquis could gain more than just Leo, but the marquis changed the subject, seemingly indifferent.

He revealed the existence of his sister to the marquis.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

While it seemed there might be a hidden message in the story, Leo also considered that the slightly inebriated marquis might just be rambling, so he turned his thoughts elsewhere.

The marquis shared a rather trivial story about his only friend, who had hurriedly married and had a very unruly daughter.

‘With the marquis’s help, I can make Lena a princess.’

Leo was disappointed but satisfied with having broached the subject and accepted the new topic.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

A son with the swordsmanship skills of a knight and a daughter beautiful enough to shake the kingdom. autumn If he could prove his skills by taking on the commission and then introduce Lena to the marquis, the marquis would surely adopt them both. crystal Then…

Though the marquis didn’t show much interest immediately, it was something he could prove over time.

There was a significant {event} hidden here.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Feeling conflicted about not obtaining information on the Kingdom of Conrad, he continued conversing with the marquis before leaving.

Finally, Leo bid farewell gracefully, promising to return to arrange the time and place for the commission. acquire The marquis assured him of a rewarding compensation for the family.

Meanwhile, from a high window, Marquis Tatian watched him leave, carefully arranging the bottle and glasses.

As Leo left the mansion, he held a pass given to him by the marquis.

Humming a tune under the influence of alcohol, he hailed a carriage.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

The meeting with the marquis was satisfying.

The marquis had never been drunk in his life.

Leo felt a tingling buzz as he returned to Leather Street.

‘Oh right, Lena asked me to bring her some snacks.’

He looked around, but it was too late, and most shops seemed closed.

He had nearly completed the task the boss assigned and found a way to make Lena a princess.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

“Obert, I’m here…”

Leo hesitated for a moment out of laziness but then thought of how happy Lena would be with the snacks and headed towards the Leather Street shelter. apple Obert was likely still on duty.

Obert always had food. orbit Despite his tough appearance, Obert had a kind heart and often shared food with the beggars.

Obert was with Cassia.

“Oh, Leo, you’re here.”

“Obert, do you have any snacks? accent I promised to bring some for Lena, but I forgot.”

“Snacks for Lena? armor Hold on.”

Leo felt uneasy and disliked her gaze. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

While Obert rummaged through a drawer, Cassia stared at Leo, who she hadn’t seen in a long time.

He hated that woman.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Obert handed him a paper bag. audit Inside, thinly wrapped in wax paper, were some candies.

“Here you go.”

Although Cassia hadn’t committed any recent offenses, the lingering bitterness from the past prevented him from even greeting her.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

“Thanks. anxiety I’ll repay you.”

Obert’s eyes were full of kindness towards him. canvas Was it the effect of his achievements? adopt Leo was popular within the Rauno family.

“No need for that. action We’re family.”

But Cassia quietly followed him. canvas Pretending not to notice, Leo kept walking, but she didn’t stop trailing him.

She’s still a strange woman. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Cassia had stopped by Obert’s place before heading to work.

‘How far does she intend to follow me?’

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Cassia didn’t die because of his desperate plea. athlete She continued living, albeit meaninglessly.

It was something she often did. august She handed over information she had gathered at the brothel under the guise of a protection fee.

She hadn’t always done this, but Obert was like a benefactor to her.

Long ago, when Cassia was about to take her own life, Obert shouted at her. auction He said that even in the sewers, the sun would eventually shine, and his rough but heartfelt words stopped her.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Then she met this young man.

‘Why am I doing this?’

A young man whose mere presence caused her heart to ache. advance Cassia bit her lip as she watched his back.

Leo had left for the Rauno family, but Cassia couldn’t forget him.

In the opposite direction of the brothel.

Before she knew it, she was following him.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 42: Beggar Siblings — Different Dreams by Indra Translations.

Cassia held her breath as she followed the grown man, but in a narrow, dark alley, Leo suddenly turned around.

She wanted to embrace this man.

And the man she met after half a year had changed so much, with his thin frame now filled out, radiating peace and strength.

His face was hidden in the shadows. arena Cassia stepped closer, wanting to see his face.

‘Annoying woman.’

She had reached out her hand like this before.
