Forgotten Juliet - Chapter 47

Juliet was on her way from Lobell to Carcassonne. More precisely, she was atop a mountain range.

She had bid a regretful goodbye to her grandfather Lionel Lebatan. Lionel had suggested that Juliet could stay, but she refused.

She left Lobell for Carcassonne with her cousins, Isaac, Teo and Gray.

She planned to spend a few days in Carcassonne, where the headquarters of the Marigold Merchants’ Guild was located, to meet her aunt Helen before saying goodbye.

Thanks to the message Isaac had sent to Helen via a communication device, they were able to plan a meeting at a midpoint between Lobell and Carcassonne.

But then-

“That’s amazing.”

Juliet muttered her sincere admiration.

Looking at the endless procession of wagons and carts spread out in front of her, she could not help but express her admiration.

Upon hearing her words, Gray and Isaac laughed.

‘I thought I wouldn’t be surprised since you often come across people from the Lobell Ash Merchants’ Guild.’

She had forgotten. The Marigold Merchants’ Guild was a well-known organization long before she came to the East.

“Juliet!”

While observing the large procession, someone called out Juliet’s name.

Before she could confirm who it was, someone had already embraced her in a hug.

She was surprised. It was as if they were greeting someone they had parted with yesterday.

“I’m so happy to finally meet you, Juliet.”

The person who greeted her warmly with a bright smile was a woman with striking short blonde hair.

When she first heard about Helen, she had imagined a charismatic beauty or a female warrior. But the real Helen was petite but had a strong presence.

“Is this your first time in Carcassonne?”

Helen, her eyes sparkling, confidently asked.

“We’re going to have so much fun!”

Her voice sounded cheerful.

She shared plenty of fun plans to spend their time together. Juliet already liked her a lot.

Helen, with her striking short blonde hair and affectionate hazel eyes, was a lively woman. Despite being the mother of two grown sons, Gray and Teo, she was vibrant, almost unrecognizable as their mother.

Walking briskly among the guild caravans, the petite Helen, with her short golden hair, could be mistaken for a boy from afar.

But she was the rightful head of the Marigold Merchants’ Guild.

The Marigold Merchants’ Guild was one of the top three in the East in terms of size.

Juliet suddenly remembered the members of the Ash Merchants’ Guild from Lobell who had been unusually kind to her.

“What about the Silverthorn Guild?”

The Silverthorn Guild, along with Marigold, was a large guild that dominated the eastern market, and it was rumored that the Ash Guild was in fact a brother guild to the Silverthorn Guild.

She felt uneasy about the Ash Guild having a branch in Lobell.

“Ah, well….”

When Juliet asked, Helen pretended to be in deep thought and then winked at her.
