With Gwyneria’s permission to leave, Marcus immediately took off into the sky and began flying back towards the royal capital.
He had not seen Lilia or Mrazivý for quite some time now, and he really just wanted to get back to his relaxing normal daily life.
‘If I never have to go through anything like this again for the rest of eternity, I will be more than happy.’ He thought as he left what remained of Loursend behind without a second glances.
While he had gone through a similar reconstruction phase after the destruction of the capital city in Tralenstein, there were many differences.
For one, in Tralenstein he had not had to deal with any large groups of injured people, or many dead people for that matter.
Most of the city’s population had been healed or brought back to life by Tesia’s miracle of life spell, and so while the city itself was destroyed, the majority of its people were able to bounce back much easier.
In Loursend no such miracle happened, leaving so many people with hollow eyes in the wake of the death and destruction of their city, and Marcus had been at the center of the worst of it.
Still, he had saved a lot of people and done good work that he could be proud of and knowing this gave him at least a bit of comfort.
‘I cannot wait to get back home. I do not care if it exhausts my spiritual energy, I am going full throttle.’.
Using all of his power he flew at faster speeds than he ever had before, using his recently heavily buffed stats to travel faster than six hundred miles an hour, and flying directly towards the royal capital.
In only a few hours he had finished the journey back to the royal capital which would have taken the average person at least three weeks by carriage if they were rushing.
Quickly he flew into the city and went directly for his home in the inner city.

Naturally he could not just appear inside his estate less he cause a panic for his guards and maids.
Walking up to the front gate Marcus saw two of his hired guards standing outside and keeping a sharp eye out for trouble.
“I have returned, please open the gate.” Marcus said abruptly.
The two guards looked towards him, and their eyes went wide as they realized that their employer had just returned.
Normally it would be unthinkable for a noble to just be roaming around on foot and show up after being gone for over a month, but Marcus had already done this a number of times so the guards were at least prepared for it.
“Certainly Lady Geist. Just a moment.”
Quickly the gates were opened and the maid on duty at the guard station came to meet him.
“I am glad to see that you have returned and are in good health Lady Geist.” Violet said as she bowed deeply.
Violet then guided Marcus to down the road to his mansion, knowing full well already that he did not care to wait for a carriage to be brought like most nobles would.
When he arrived, Clara was there waiting for him, having already been notified of his return.
“Welcome back Lady Irene.” She said with a bow.
Smiling Marcus told her to raise her head and asked, “Is Lilia here?”
Unfortunately, Clara shook her head and said, “She is not here at the moment. I believe she is currently visiting the estate of her friend Lord Alaric.”
Nodding his head, he thanked Clara for the information, told her that he did not need anything else for now, and that he would come back down after dinner.
Once he was alone in his room, he called up Lilia with their paired sending stones and told her that he had returned.
Lilia hearing this told him that she would be right over and cut off the connection before Marcus could tell her to just continue having fun with her friends.
‘Well, I would like to see her anyway.’ he thought with a smile.
Next, he contacted Mrazivý who likewise said that she would be over posthaste, and in the background, he could hear her running around to get ready.
Now that he had contacted both Lilia and Mrazivý, Marcus sat around and looked over his status which had recently changed dramatically while he waited for them to arrive.
