Chapter 372: D138. The user you are calling has been suspended
Within the vast grounds of the Count Mansion, an outdoor banquet was also taking place, with local residents and invited guests among the attendees. Maids and servants bustled about the emerald green gardens, creating a lively atmosphere that starkly contrasted with the usual tranquility.
At the venue, a black cat leisurely snacking on dried deep-sea fish abruptly pricked its ears, turning its head to reflect in its green vertical pupils the image of the Hero reaching for the snacks.
The Hero quickly placed a finger to their lips, signaling the Night Tiger with a shushing gesture.
They were now within the Count Mansion, where getting surrounded by people would make it much harder to slip away.
Under the silent watch of the black cat, the Hero returned to their room with a plate of snacks, managing not to disturb any of the guests.
Inside the room, silence reigned supreme, as if isolated from the rest of the world, yet the merriment from outside faintly permeated the quiet.
The Hero set a golden medal on the table and basked in the peacefulness amidst the hubbub, starting to study the medical care knowledge within the Stigmata, occasionally sampling a snack.
It was hard to imagine that just a few hours earlier, this young girl had accepted ennoblement from the Royal Family amidst the attention of thousands.
Time passed, until night fell, and the lights began to illuminate the darkness.
Having completed their nightly ablutions, the Hero was about to retire to bed when a soft knock on the door echoed, a steady voice emerging from outside.
"Hero, it’s me. May I talk with you in the study?"

"Uncle Count, is there something you need?"
Looking at the Hero, still in pajamas and with a puzzled expression, the Border Count’s face broke into a gentle smile.
The Hero stepped aside and proactively pulled out a chair from the small table in the room, sitting opposite the Count.
"I apologize for disturbing you at this hour."
"Actually, it’s alright if I don’t sleep, but have you, Uncle Count, had proper rest?" inquired the Hero with concern.
"Of course, once I’m done with this busy period, I’ll naturally take a vacation," replied the Count with a chuckle.
Though there was still a hint of fatigue on his face, it was undoubtedly more relaxed than in the previous days.
However, his expression soon turned serious again, which made the attentive Hero focus even more.
"Actually, during today’s banquet, I had a discussion with your grandfather,
"The topic was about the Hunting Knowledge and the taboo of your family’s inheritance."
The Count’s straightforward words made the Hero tense up.
"But I’m sorry to say, Hero, that my conversation with him... did not yield a favorable outcome."

"I have exchanged a few words with your grandfather and gained some understanding of that inheritance," stated the Count earnestly.
"As a fellow scholar, I deeply respect your grandfather. That gentleman has maintained his integrity in the face of such terrifying knowledge and techniques, which is a commendable feat of spirit.
"But to be honest, I do not recommend that he pass this inheritance on to you."
The Hero’s expression faltered, filled with confusion.
Seeing the Hero like this, the Count showed a bitter smile and sighed lightly.
"Some knowledge should not be known, as mere understanding can pollute the spirit and heart. In my view, you are not suitable to receive that inheritance.
"In fact, your grandfather has a vague understanding of this as well, which is why he has hesitated for so long without discussing it with you. However, he doesn’t have another choice."
The Count sighed inwardly.
He was aware of his own emotional bias. With the increasing time spent together, the Hero’s place in his heart had grown closer to that of a daughter.
Just like any father who doesn’t want their child to touch the filth and Pollution in the darkness, his first reaction upon realizing that the inheritance might affect the Hero’s spirit was Refusal.
Moreover, the current Hero bore a Curse.
However, no matter how much he valued the girl before him, he was ultimately an outsider, and excessive interference would only lead to suspicion and wariness.
"Our conversation wasn’t disagreeable. With your grandfather’s Wisdom, he surely understands, but..."
"...Thank you, Uncle Count, but I’m alright."
Watching the Count’s somewhat troubled expression, the Hero calmed down, smiling.
"I trust that you and grandfather wouldn’t hurt me, but if it’s something I should do, then I don’t want to shirk from it."
The Hero’s Magic Power surged forth in a display, and the Stigmata emitted a glow intermingled with golden light.
This was a Noble symbol certified by the Kingdom, added as an Extra Enchantment to the Professional Mark, which could be recognized even in remote areas.
"See, I’m also a Military Merit Noble now, and aside from rights, I should naturally bear responsibilities, right?"
"It is so... You really have grown a lot, truly worthy of being the Saintess of the Border."
Remembering the girl who was quite inexperienced when she first came to the Border, the Count’s face showed a reflective expression, his tone becoming more relaxed.
"Please, don’t call me that." The Hero’s cheeks flushed in embarrassment, protesting.
