CHAPTER 121: NO GOING BACK

I was frozen in place for quite some time. I didn’t know what to do as I stared blankly at my open status and the description of this accursed new title. He called this a present but it is nowhere near being nice or lovely. It was more like a curse, a curse that will turn me into a walking disaster magnet. Is this what he meant by making sure I will not escape and still be able to rank up? Since I can’t go out he will make sure everything comes to me. How terrible.

I realized that my magic values have gone up and that another title was present along with the gifted one.
[Desperate – a title given to someone that gained great benefit with a desperate action which should have otherwise rendered a person dead. Increases the chance of survival in helpless moments and improves the luck of a person when in a desperate situation.]

I recalled seeing something about a new title when I tried to swallow up that bastard’s mana in order to break away from his bindings. I guess that counted as a desperate act. I just didn’t realize how close to death I was by doing that. I guess the sudden jump in [Poison Resistance] is also contributed to that.

Even though I kept looking at my status, I could not do anything. I tried to sense this curse magic that he placed on me, but there was nothing there. I don’t even know where to start since I had no idea how to get away. Well first things first I need to make sure that the effect of [Object of Desire] is as hidden as can be, that means I will have to have skills hiding my presence active at all times even when sleeping.

Next, I have to find out how to get rid of that title so I can live peacefully and not worry about having something jump me at any time. I should be glad that people are considered highly intelligent and they should be able to resist this effect. Now that would be hell if I had to deal with everyone, I might as well abandon all civilization if that happens and live somewhere on an island with nothing to bother me.

Lastly, I should think how to avoid reaching A-rank even with this restriction placed on me. Maybe I should just change my job and do something that doesn’t require me to move and just stay within town. That also seems like a good idea. At least until I break away from this curse. I will also be able to anger the King and the Crown Prince since I would be avoiding the engagement and they will be unable to move me away from Orzak. But realistically I don’t think I would be able to stay still for so long.

There was nothing I could do at this moment, so I decided to continue with my daily life normally. I will just try to avoid taking on B-rank requests for now. So as always I went downstairs to the dining room to get some delicious breakfast.

“Naoko-chan what was with the rush this morning? You really gave me a fright when you ran out like that.”

“I’m really sorry Mylene-san, it won’t happen again. I was just a bit stressed and needed to blow away some steam.”

I didn’t bother explaining in detail what happened as it would take way too much time and I don’t really want others to know just what exactly went on in the drawing room yesterday. The less people know the better it would be. Luckily she didn’t press on for more information since there were a lot of guests that needed to be served. I ate and then went towards the guild building.

Since my movement has become quite restricted, I should take any request near here that will bring me money. Fortunately such requests are usually ranked low and so I don’t have to worry about accidentally ranking up.
On the way to the guild I felt like there were quite a lot of people blatantly staring at me. At first I thought I was only paranoid about everything that is going on, but that was not the case since everyone didn’t even bother to hide the fact they are staring at me. This town is not so big and over the past nine months I pretty much know everyone in town and I had my own moments that gave me some fame so it wasn’t weird to have people stare at me, but something like this was wrong.

There were simply way too many people staring and the closer I got to the guild the worse it became. When I passed by the government building I finally found out the reason why. On the notice board a drawing of my face with a proclamation was posted stating my promotion and adoption into the House of Archduke Tenryuu who held the territory of Icefire Mountains.

I wanted to rip that notice into shreds so that none would be able to see it anymore, but two guards were stationed there making sure nothing happens. I could easily defeat them but causing commotion in town would be even worse. I should just play it cool like none of this is related to me. Yes, that is the best outcome.
Picking up the pace and hiding my already annoyed mood I arrived at the guild that was by now pretty much empty since everyone was already out to do their requests. I saw Millie-chan at one of the counters and went to greet her.

“Hi Millie-chan. I will take all requests that can be done within a 20km radius of the town. Don’t ask why just process them.”

“N-Naoko-sama, ah I mean Duchess Maeda, please follow me, the guild master needs to speak with you.”

I looked at panicked Millie-chan, she was already timid to begin with and now she looks like she will die of terror. I went inside the guild master’s office. I assumed this had to do something with my new title as a Duchess. I greeted him and waited for Millie-chan to leave.

“Naoko-sama, congratulations you have now become a high noble. I can inform you about a special promotion. Just by being a high noble you are eligible for a C-rank but knowing your abilities I can promote you to B-rank adventurer without any contributions needed. Think of it as a present from the guild to congratulate your promotion.”

“Dare to promote me and I will kill you, now if you’ll excuse me I have some grinding to do.”

I left the stunned guild master and took on every single request in the guild that I could complete. Today was really a piss day from the start to the very end.
