My Teacher Is Too Good For Others. So, I Decided To Marry Her.

It was only a half-day journey.

It seems Baron Alden didn't want to go too far for the outing, which is understandable. Since problems may arise at any time. So, leaving his own territory is out of the question. So, Elena didn't think too much about it.

There were two carriages prepared for their transportation. Elena rode on a different carriage than Bianca. It was mainly brought for the maids. The carriage was cheap and uncomfortable. Elena wouldn't even look at it in normal circumstances.

It shook a lot and made her butt hurt. She would have preferred to walk than ride this wooden junk if it weren't for the fact that she had to show that she was still injured.

Jully accompanied Bianca as Baron Alden wasn't there. The carriage that Bianca is riding is a bit better. Well, it should be. But in Elena's eyes, it wasn't much.

Because Jully is riding with Bianca, there should have been more space.

But Olen insisted on riding with Elena. So, this small carriage again became a bit too cramped with her, three other maids, and Olen. But beggars can't be choosers. So, she couldn't complain.

Even so, this made Bianca worried. As she still didn't know the true identity of Elena. As she (E) may be a spy from other nobles.

But she still allowed it. Because if Elena was sent by someone to harm her son, she would already have done it as she had the perfect opportunity in the woods. So, she concluded that Elena wasn't here for Olen, at the very least.

Right now, she will be observing Elena.

Bianca told the guard leader to keep an eye on her movement on the way. To see if she was communicating with somebody while traveling. And instructed him to move the moment he noticed something odd.

She thought it would be enough to prevent Elena from doing anything funny.

She had already noticed a lack of trust from Bianca. But she didn't mind.

'Everyone has their consideration.' she thought. 'One must always be aware of his enemy.' -she now knew and understood this concept very well. She had suffered this time for this very reason. In that sense, Bianca is better than her.

Thinking of this, Elena was getting angry at herself. She was too careless.

'But without the proper strength, this has no meaning.' She thought. These people didn't have the proper strength to stop her if she were to do anything to them.

But she didn't have any ill intentions toward Alden's house. So, it is fine.

Though the guards were on alert, nothing happened on the way.

The road between the vacation house and the city was well-maintained. And there were no bandits in the area. Even if there were some, the insignia of the Baron scared them away.

Though for Elena, these guards are as insignificant as ants, in these parts they are the elites. No one is willing to pick a fight with the Baron's family.

They arrived at Wolf Fang City without any incident. The only thing that happened was Olen's nonstop talking. Like, what Olen did with Jully and Jon here or there, nothing specific.

Elena understood that Olen was just a normal kid, unlike the kids at her home, where elders start the kid's spiritual training at an early age. In this place, there is no concept of training spirituality. So their mind only develops slowly with their age.

Olen only did some physical training from an early age. So he has a pretty strong body for a kid. But spiritually, he is very normal.

'He is of good nature.' -Thinking this, Elena decided she would help the kid.

Though she could have taken care of herself back in the woods, it wouldn't be as convenient for her if it were not for the kid. In the time of need, even a bit of help may be very impactful. And the boy came for her when she needed it the most.

Olen could have just left her there and ignored her. He could have been frightened by her bloody wounds. But he didn't leave her there and made the effort he was capable of doing. That is the fact Elena couldn't overlook. So, she decided to repay him in kind.

Also, it wasn't like she could just go running home now. She needs to recuperate. For that, she needs shelter and convenient cover as her identity. And Alden's family could give her both.

.

By the time they reached the city, it was noon. They entered the city through the south gate without any form of checking. Only the guard captain nodded to the city guard.

In this city, the Alden are the rulers. Who'd think about checking the carriage of their Baroness?

The city was bustling. Shops were open. Merchants were calling for customers. Everyone was busy. It was a prosperous city. They moved through the shopping district in the middle of the city.

The city isn't big, but it isn't small either.

The city stands on the bank of two rivers interjecting points, which come through forests from mountains.

The Alden house is on the north side of the city.

The Alden house has a higher elevation than other areas. So it is possible to look over the whole city from the front gate. Well, that also means as long as someone passes the city gate, they should be able to see the big house.

The view of two rivers intersecting from both sides of the city can be seen from the backside of the house. So, it can be said that the house is located in the best position in the city.

The intersecting rivers form a single river and flow north.

As the lord of the land, the Alden house was the biggest in the area. Though there were some large buildings, they couldn't compare with the city lord's residence.

"Greetings. How was your journey, madam? Hope there wasn't any inconvenience."

Reaching home, they were greeted by a burly man about twenty to twenty-two years old. He asked very cordially.

To Elena's surprise, this person was stronger than the guards' captain. He should be a light yellow-grade spiritualist. And his integrated spirit should be battle-oriented.

"Who is he?" Elena asked Olen.

"Who? Are you talking about Jon? He is my trainer and Jully's brother. He is the one I told you about on the way. I often go to the market with him. He is strong. You would have met him if Father hadn't brought him with him in a hurry." Olen gave a detailed answer.

"Oh, it's him?" Elena heard a lot about Jon from Olen and knew a bit about him.

Apparently, besides being Olen's trainer, he is supposed to be one of the bodyguards of Baron. And when Baron left Bianca and Olen, he was in a hurry. So he had only brought Jon back with him. And Elena understands why. This man here can do a lot better job of protecting the Baron than those guards.

Though light yellow grade and dark green spirituality have only a difference of one level, they have a very big difference in terms of power.

While they were talking, Elena saw Jon looking at her with a frown.

'He is a bit too sensitive. He may have talent.' -Elena thought. Since they were traveling in a new area, she was suppressing her spiritual pressure. But because of her injury, she couldn't suppress it fully. But even so, it shouldn't have been detectable at Jon's level. So, she was rather surprised.

"Madam, who is this person?" -Jon asked. He looked worried.

"This is Ms. Aniston. She was brought back by Olen from the woods behind the vacation house when he found her injured. So we brought her with us."

"Madam, with all due respect, you could have let the maids staying there take care of her. Why bring her here?"

Bianca looked at Jon but didn't say anything immediately.

"Do I need permission from you to do something?" Bianca scolded.

"Absolutely not. I'm sorry, madam. Please forgive me."

"All right. Go and prepare a room for her. Then come to my room." Bianca dismissed Jon.

"Jully, go prepare a bath for Olen. He's tired from the journey. And Olen, go rest up." -Saying so, Bianca left.

.

Elena followed Jon to her assigned room. Entering the room, Jon looked at her.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Jon asked rudely.

"Hmm, is this a way to behave with a guest?" Elena asked laughingly.

"No, it's not. But you are no ordinary guest, are you? So, what's your purpose?" Jon asked back.

"Relax. I don't intend to do any harm to you guys." –she said smilingly.

"Like your madam said, I was attacked and was injured. Your young lord found me and brought me here. I'll leave as soon as possible. But if you try to dig deep, I will make sure to bury you with the truth." -Elena changed her tone and gave the pressure of a higher realm.

All of a sudden, Jon was having a hard time standing. He felt like he was before a ferocious beast. One from which he didn't have any chance of surviving. He felt like danger creeping onto him from all sides. Any wrong move, and he is dead.

But the next moment, the pressure was gone. It's as if it was never there. If Jon hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't believe there could be someone so strong. The knight commander of his lord wasn't strong enough. He even doubted the royal knight was strong enough.

"Well, even if it is easy for me, I will not kill you if it can be avoided. But make sure not to say a single word about this outside. Or you will regret it. Now go back. Bianca should be expecting your report. Say that you have misjudged." saying so Elena shooed him out.

When Jon left her room, he was sweating bucket. He couldn't believe what he just felt. In his mind, he remembered not to irritate their new guest. It really didn't look like a good idea.

.

Sortly after, Jon knocked onto a closed, "Madam, may I come in?"

"Yes." -came the reply.

It was Bianca's room.

Jon entered the room before closing the door.

"So, how was it?" -Bianca asked.

Jon looked at Bianca before saying, "I feel that she is strong."

"Very strong." -He added.

"But it doesn't seem like she is an enemy. It would be wise to not get involved with her too much." -Jon concluded.

"As long as she isn't an enemy..." Bianca thought.

"Now then, where is your lord? What happened?" Bianca asked again.

"Sir Baron went to the royal capital. He didn't say why he was going. But it seems like the other nobles are moving. Depending on the situation, he would be back between four to six months."

"Was there so much of an urgency? He never left on such short notice. I hope there isn't too much trouble." -Bianca could only pray and do her best to maintain order with others.

Suddenly Bianca thought of something. "How strong do you think our guest is?" -She asked again.

"Can't say for sure. But most likely stronger than our knight commander." Jon answered.

"Are you sure? Is she really that strong?" Bianca's eyes opened wide.

"Knight commander is strong but not that strong. He is only in mid-yellow grade. He wouldn't be able to make feel that much threat. She is in a league of her own."

Bianca became silent for a moment.

"All right, treat her well. See if we can befriend her. And get a healer from the Alchemy pavilion to have a look at her." Bianca commanded.

"I don't think that would be of any good."

"It doesn't matter. Even if it doesn't work, it wouldn't hurt to show a bit of kindness. We wouldn't lose anything. Also, we will be on friendly terms with her."

"Madam, being on friendly terms with her may also bring misfortune for us. Don't you remember? She was attacked and injured by someone. Those people might come looking for her here."

"Let me think about when the time comes. There are too many things happening at the moment. Having a powerful ally like her may save us a lot of trouble for us."

"All right then, please excuse me." Jon bowed and took his leave.

In the hallway, Jon saw a little man running towards him. For some reason, seeing this carefree guy always made Jon smile. This guy still acts childish. But he is a responsible person and works hard. Some day he will become a fine man.

The little guy jumps and hugs him. It is Olen.

"Jon, you left me. And I couldn't find you when I needed you." Olen pouted.

"I need to talk to you right now. Come with me." He demanded. He started to pull Jon by hand.

"What's so urgent that you have to talk to me first thing after coming from a journey? Go, get some rest. We can talk by letter. I'm busy now."

Normally, Jon would help out whenever Olen asks something like sneaking out of the mansion to play or going swimming in the river without telling anybody or telling him the location of sweets he isn't allowed to take. Jon would always accompany Olen in his misdeeds. But now he has some urgent job. So he can't play with Olen.

"No. It's important. I need to talk to you right now."

"All right, all right. But I don't have much time on hand. Make it quick." -saying so, Jon follows Olen to the backyard of the house.

"So, what is the urgent matter?" asked Jon.

Olen had a serious face.

"Jon, teach me how to become a man."
