A God Killed Me By Accident, But I Reincarnated As The 4th Son Of The Marquis

Volume 13 Chapter 15: Serene

Keith grinned, "Is everyone ready to head to the dungeon?" Today was the day they'd enter the dungeon. They planned to stay in the dungeon for three days. That way, it won't interfere with their academy.

"Mmhmm!" "We're more than ready to go!" Herrick and Melor were always itching. And they were not alone in this. Having practiced their abilities for the last few days, it was time for them to use it to the fullest. They were itching to see how much they had improved. 

Plus, it was time to de-stress. After working tirelessly on the festival, it was time to go out and let everything out.

"Now, let's go to the carriage!" Keith already booked a carriage. With so many people here, they needed a jumbo carriage to carry all of them to the dungeon. Riding the vehicle, they started to talk, "So I take it that you two are going to be out tanks?" Two giant shields were beside them.

"Mmhmm. Don't expect too much from us; we're not like Keith." They were taught the basics. It was a far cry from what Keith managed.

"I see." The others nodded when they heard that. But that gave them assurance. All of them had some concerns with one tank on the party. With two tanks, it added more stability.

"Thanks, Arlo. We'll use them to the fullest." And the person who made the two shields was Arlo. The boy nodded, "Mmhmm." 

"Arlo, you look dead." There were dark circles under his eyes. Clearly, the boy had been working late at night to smith these weapons for them. 

"What does a leader have to say about this?" However, the man himself was taking a nap quietly.

Carolyn smiled, "Let him sleep. He had been working up strategies to help us." Those two did not get any sleep at all. While Arlo focused on the weapons, Keith focused on comprising the optimal formations for the party. 

"But I'm more surprised he could sleep through all this noise?" The others were quite shocked. Did he not sleep at all? They were baffled by his calmness. He was sleeping so soundly; in his hands was Aria as she nestled into his arms like there was nothing wrong.  

"So serene." 

“When you see him like this, I want to do the same thing too.” This was interesting; his calm and serene expression really caused them to yawn a bit. Scarlet didn’t mind as she leaned on his shoulder.

“Hey!” “It’s quite infectious, and I’m getting tired.” Scarlet yawned as she snuggled into his arms. And that was when Alfia sighed as she took the other arm before a certain princess.

"..." Everyone turned to Carolyn, who just watched.

That was odd; the princess didn’t fight it at all. Everyone expected a fight to occur between the two. However, Long Lihua muttered, “Shouldn’t you step in?” It was actually quite odd to see how calm she was. It was more frightening as the time passed on. But that was when the woman grinned, “There’s no need to worry. I'll have more than enough time to snuggle up with him. Hehe.”

“...” Scary. That was the only way to describe it. The way she just stared at the two snuggling into his arms was deadly. But as he slept, some of the others got a little comfy since they practiced all day. It was a sleep succession in the carriage. After some time, they arrived at the dungeon. That was when the group slowly woke up, 

“What’s the matter with you guys?” He noticed how the demon and elf princess were curled in his arm. They weren’t the only ones, and the others were the same as well. They were all napping like it was a school trip. The two princesses slowly woke up as they rubbed their eyes, “That’s because a certain someone had taken a nap like there’s nothing wrong.”

“...” Oops. That was definitely his bad. But, after some time, the rest had gotten out of the carriage with a yawn, and it was quite something. But that was when Keith coughed, “Alright, everyone! So, I need to discuss the formation of the group we’ll be going with as we go in. 

The frontlines shall be me at the center, Herrick on the right, and Melor on the left. 

For the wings, we'll have Faelyn and Ayaka on the left. For the right, we have Leona, Jack, and Arlo as usual. 

In the middle will be Krystal, Long Lihua, and Gabriel; I leave it up to you guys to do whatever is necessary. 

For the backline, Carolyn, Scarlet, and Alfia. The second line will be Sarah and Lucy."

“Understood!”
