All Chapters of Help! I don't want to be the female lead: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Actually, Seraphine didn't have much expectations from Arnold. Although he gave off a gentle and amiable impression, it was just a front. Seeing how high of a position he had, it wasn't unlikely for him to be cunning. "Is that so? Then, I am planning to raise a complaint officially and quit. That squad wouldn't have half of their accomplishment without me," Seraphine bluntly said. She was raised preciously. Although being a knight was her dream, it wasn't worth enough for her to be bullied or endure unfair treatment. As for other responsibilities, she could think of something else to handle them. "Aren't you being arrogant?" he raised one of his eyebrows. This caused the corner of Seraphine's lips to raise upwards and proudly voice out, "I am being honest. I don't even know why those useless people were recruited." Seraphine shook her head at the end. "Do I l

 Not judging the place further, Seraphine inserted the key and unlocked the door. Pushing open, she stepped inside and observed the interior. Although the furniture was old, at least everything seemed neat and clean. Her sister probably took good care of it. Closing the door behind her, she called, "Ashley!?" She did find it awkward to call the name familiarly in the beginning, but after a couple more tries, she was able to get used to it. After all, Seraphine's ability to adapt was amazing. At the sound, the door to a room opened, and a head peaked out. Seraphine's eyes fell on the frail beauty. Ashley had ash-brown hair that flowed to her waist and a pair of similar coloured eyes. Maybe because of her sickly nature, she had pale skin. Instead of it being unattractive, it made her appear to be a delicate beauty. One glance at her was enough to raise one's protective

 Before Seraphine could enter her room, she felt a grip on her shirt. This made her turn back to face Ashley. Her actions caused Seraphine to raise one of her eyebrows. "Were you searching for this in the attic?" she questioned. Seraphine's eyes then fell on the letter at Ashley's hand. She forwarded it towards Seraphine. This made Seraphine wonder what this was on. Noticing Seraphine's questioning gaze, Ashley explained, "The other day when I was cleaning up my father and mother's room, I found this. This must be important, so I kept it with me." The envelope didn't seem out of ordinary, but the fact that there was an envelope there in her parent's room was suspicious enough. "Did you check the contents inside?" Seraphine questioned. Ashley shook her head. "It looked important, so I didn't open it." Seraphine nodded and expr

Once done with settling everything, Seraphine bid good-byes to her sister before heading for the barracks. The entire way, the corner of her lips were lifted, displaying her enthusiastic mood well. As she arrived, she didn't know how to judge her luck as she came upon Arnold Crisberd. Regardless of her emotions, she could only politely greet him. "Not bad, Young Lad," he commented, "It seems that the vacation invigorated your spirits." "Indeed, it has. I am grateful to Sir Arnold for it," Seraphine flattered the man. "Seeing this, I have decided your next task would be in your hometown, and as working alone could be tough on you, I have decided to assign you with a partner." This caused Seraphine to be intrigued. Although she had completely a difficult task previously, no matter of teaming up was mentioned. She wondered how hard it was for Arnold Crisberd to suggest this.

Seraphine vaguely recalled the conversation she heard previously on some general or such a figure holding a parade after winning a war. The parade would be passing through the town. During this time, wars were quite common, especially at the border, so Seraphine didn't pay special attention to this. Because of how busy she had been, this matter simply slipped out of her mind. But now that she had decided to take a break from her job along with Hamilton, she decided to check out this procession as she was curious about it. There were many enthusiastic people that gathered around. Not often did such high figure passed through the town, so it was understandable that a considerable amount of attention was attracted. Seraphine booked a private room at the restaurant with a balcony in order to get a proper view. While she nibbled on the seeds, she stared at the excited people downstairs.
