Chapter 10

The room was in an uproar at Lady Gilne's decision. The executives were flustered by the unexpected situation.

"Wait! Exiling Tim is for Lady Gilne's own good, you know!?"

"Which Gilne do you mean by 'Lady Gilne'? The guild? Me? Either way, losing Tim means the end."

"What value does he have!? Wake up!"

"Thanks to you, I've woken up. Right now, at this moment, I'm leaving the guild."

"You can't just leave so easily! Lady Gilne is the head of the guild!"

"―Indeed, as the founder of the guild, I might need to take responsibility."

Lady Gilne cut off the argument with the executives and removed the treasure she was wearing, placing it aside.

"I'm leaving with nothing but the clothes on my back. I'll leave all my treasures, magical items, and assets behind."

"That's not the issue!"

"―No, wait."

The one who interrupted was Lady Nier.

"Are you going to leave behind all the weapons, jewels, rare minerals, and materials you've acquired over the years?"

"The target is my treasure and the 'Relic,' right? Rest assured, I'll leave them behind."

"Hehe, then it's fine. I thank you for your decision."

Lady Gilne whispered, "Come, 'Nirvana,'" and a beautiful staff appeared in her right hand. The white staff, wrapped in a sacred aura, exuded a beauty and grandeur like a national treasure.

"Marvelous, this is the Relic Nirvana..."

Lady Nier nodded satisfactorily to the executives, who silently agreed. When Lady Gilne released the staff, it remained suspended in the air. She then placed her handbag on the desk with a wistful look.

"I have nothing left. Now I can leave without any regrets, right?"

"―Wait. It seems there's still one ring left?"

"…This isn't a treasure. It's just a ring with a red gem."

"Then it's an asset. Please leave it behind."

"……"

At Lady Nier's remark, Lady Gilne removed the ring with a slightly trembling hand and placed it on the desk.

"Lady Gilne, no—Gilne Reine Blair! Leave this guild immediately!"

"…Understood. Tim, let's go."

From the moment Lady Gilne was exiled, my mind was no longer functioning.

Without any coherent thoughts, I followed Lady Gilne like a hollow shell.
