I realized how sweet the air is after breathing fresh air for the first time in a long while. By the way, I am so embarrassed since the clothes I was wearing got worn out and I am now clad in bear skin. I look like a caveman; I should go buy some clothes.

As I entered the town, people gave me strange stares. Entering the merchant store, I met a beautiful lady with green hair.

"Good day, ma'am."

"Good day to you, sir. How may I help...?"

Why did she stop talking?

"I am here to sell bear fur."

"Please forgive me, I lost my concentration there. May I see the fur you are selling?"

From my big bag, I took out the bear fur. She looked at me for a second before taking the fur to inspect it. When she returned, she said it was worth 20 gold coins. It is the first time she had seen this type of fur, but she could tell it was good material. I also bought clothes and a small-sized storage bag in the shop, which cost 10 gold coins.

I took a carriage home. I cannot wait to see Mom. These few months felt like a millennium without seeing her. Why are these stupid horses moving so slow?

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Finally, I arrived in Eldorado. Wait, why is the house empty? The yard looks like it has not been maintained for quite some time. However, the neighbors told me that Mother moved back to Grandma's house. I wonder why. Where is Dad? What happened?

Grandma also lives in Eldorado, a one-hour walk from home. So, I went to Grandma's house, and they were so happy to see me.

"Where were you? We were so worried about you!"

"Worried?"

"Especially when you did not show up at the adulthood ceremony."

"Adulthood ceremony? Wait, Mom, how much time has passed since I left?"

"Thirty-seven years to be precise! And you have a lot of explaining to do, mister."

So that means the ceremony was nine years ago? But I only spent a few months, or at least a year, in that dungeon. Isn't 37 years way too long?

"So, Mom, where is Dad, and why are you here?"

"Oh that? There is something I want to show you. Follow me."

We entered my mom's room, and there was a little baby sleeping in the bed.

"Meet Emma, your little sister."

"Eh..."

(Wait, wait, pause, hold the phone. I have a little sister now? Wait, Mr. Author, I think this is moving too fast.)

(Shut up and continue, will you?)

“She looks like you, Mom, even the black hair. How old is she?"

"One month old, and your father went to the capital."

"To look for me?"

"No, he was summoned by the royal family to treat the royal army."

"The royal army?"

"Remember when I told you about the revolution and the incident that happened years ago? It seems they are back."

Maybe the one who started that group is from Earth. Not even Mother or Leon knows the meaning of that word, "Revolution."

"Anyway, before I forget, your father arranged a marriage between you and Lady Eleanor. You were going to be her third husband, but you did not show up. He was so disappointed after putting so much effort. I think if you go and apologize, Lady Eleanor would understand."

I am going to murder that guy!
