Watching their daughters grow up happily is the wish of all old fathers.

Since Al's arrival, Luna has lived in happiness almost every day.

Through the window, Duck was relieved to see Luna teasing the wolf cub in the garden.

What a rare leisure time!

At the same time, as time went on, his worries deepened.

The demon wolf was not captured, of course, Al did not count, and the mission sent by the lord was a failure.

Mission failure is not something that can be said to be forgotten.

Moreover, because of this mission, Palamir, who was so seriously injured that he could only be carried back, would never give up.

The calm of these few days can only indicate that a huge storm is brewing.

I don't know if the guardian knight of a mere border town will survive this storm.

Happy days are short-lived after all.

What should come is always coming.

On this day, a long-lost visitor, brought a message of Cantermart City.

……

Midsummer night.

The moonlight is like water, and the cicadas are singing like songs.

The evening breeze blew away the heat of the day, and after the weather cooled, the townspeople fell asleep.

The evenings in Madert were as peaceful as ever.

It was one such night that a mysterious black figure in a trench coat appeared in Dark's study.

"I didn't expect you to come in person!"

The visitor was obviously familiar with Duck, otherwise Duck would not have greeted an uninvited guest with such a tone and smile.

"If I am not welcome, then you should write it in your letter!"

The mysterious man emerged from the darkness and sat down on the couch in the middle of the study.

When the brim of the cloak was lifted, a face with impeccable facial features that was so delicate that it looked extremely stunning in the light.

"Welcome! How could it not be welcome! I'm just afraid that it will delay the time for our great Lord Cross to earn gold. ”

Darker didn't dare to snub his guests, and he prepared drinks for them as he spoke.

"Hot tea, is it okay?"

"Yes! If it's a good wine, of course it's even better! ”

Darke put the teacup in front of Cross and smiled: "I'm sorry, I've quit drinking a long time ago, and I can't offer a reception wine to Lord Cross now, I will definitely arrange for a butler to make it up for you tomorrow!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry to make up for it or not, you better look at the information of Cantermarte City!"

Cross gestured to Dark's desk, where two letters were placed at some point.

Well!

Duck nodded, walked over, picked up one on his face, opened it, and read it carefully.

Dark's fears came true.

He used all his possessions to clear up the relationship, but it was not enough to calm the lord's anger.

Someone has to take responsibility for the failure of this crusade!

Since it's not a paramir.

Of course, it could only be him!

Now, the old lord has not signed the instrument of punishment against him.

With the insidious guy Palamil fanning the flames, the result will certainly not be too good.

At worst, it would be to strip Dark's status as a guardian knight!

Once he was demoted to a civilian, he lost more than just a title.

Compared with the direct loss of status, wealth, and honor, the privilege attached to the loss of the title is the greatest loss!

Some of these privileges will be directly related to the future of the children.

Dark's brow furrowed.

What bad news!

He tucked the letter back into the envelope and set it aside.

His gaze turned to another letter on the table.

The family seal on the fire paint seal shines brightly.

Looking at this familiar seal, Darker was slightly in a daze.

Cross: "Is it not just taken apart?" ”

Duck didn't answer this time, he silently picked up the letter and put it in the small box on the table.

The moment he closed the lid, he seemed to see that there were many letters neatly placed inside.

Cross asked softly, "Can't you let go of what happened back then?" ”

Dark: "Forgive her, I still want to leave this right to Luna!" ”

Although he said it lightly, the gloom in his eyes could not escape the eyes of a high-ranking assassin.

Kloss didn't want to touch her old friend's old wounds, so she changed the subject and continued: "In a blink of an eye, Luna has grown up! ”

At the mention of his daughter, Dark's eyes lit up again: "Yes, I will be 16 years old next year!" ”

Cross: "If you don't want to owe this favor, what are you going to do with the current crisis?" ”

Duck said in a firm tone, "I'll figure it out." ”

Hey, I knew it!

Cross knew Duck too well.

This guy can't accomplish anything but a good guy!

It seems that I am right to come on this trip!

This guy can't think of a better way than to fight for his own life!

In the end, you have to go out on your own!

Cross smiled slightly, "I have a letter of recommendation for special admissions here, do you want Luna to try it?" ”

Dark's face suddenly had a look of surprise.

"Central College?"

"Of course!"

"Yes!"

Duck grabbed Cross's arm so fast that even Cross, a high-ranking assassin, couldn't dodge it.

"You, you, let go!"

This guy, once it comes to his daughter, his IQ will go offline immediately!

Cross's face flushed, and she struggled to break free from Dark's claws.

"Don't worry, tomorrow you still let me give her a simple quiz before deciding which academy to recommend her into!"

"Absolutely! Then I'm going to trouble Lord Cross this time! ”

Duck immediately agreed.

……

In order not to be disturbed by the bear children in the town of Madet.

Al is temporarily settled into Luna's room.

Luna's room was in the simple and practical style of a knight, with no toys or cosmetics or too many clothes, and it was empty enough to fit Al's wool cushions in the corners.

Warcraft has a strong ability to adapt to the environment.

Where to sleep is not to sleep!

Al quickly got used to the new environment and slept soundly and sweetly.

Sand, sand.

The sound of the curtains scraping woke Al.

The windows were supposed to be closed, how could the curtains be blown by the wind?!

The beast's instinct caused him to immediately raise his head and look in the direction of the sound.

Someone!

He reacted the first time Al made eye contact with the visitor.

However, the incoming man's movements are faster than his reactions.

As soon as he wanted to open his mouth to warn, he was held down on the head by someone who came.

The sheer force left him powerless.

Faster than power, there is an invisible coercion that terrifies him.

It is an oppression brought about by a power that transcends rank.

Under this kind of coercion, you don't even dare to give birth to the heart of resistance.

Al felt his whole body stiffen, as if even the blood in his body was about to clot.

Up and down his body, except for his eyes that could move, his whole body felt paralyzed and weak, no matter how hard he tried, the roar in his throat could not break through the shackles of his throat.

A strong sense of crisis made him drenched in cold sweat.

Depend on!

No way.

It doesn't work.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

After numerous attempts, a slight wagging tail allowed him to finally find a way to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, Al summoned all the power he could control and poured it into his tail, flicking it out with all his might, sweeping away the animal skin cushion that had been used as a pillow while he slept.

The flying mat hits the cabinet next to Luna's bed and falls back to the ground.

This series of noises finally woke up the girl in bed.
