The night before, Lennox received reports from the half dead Kai and started reading them.
according to what his informants found, a nameless group of justice seekers were plotting a terrorist attack against the temple to open people's eyes to their wrongs. It seems that what made them move is how the temple randomly accuses innocent people for performing black magic.
Lennox decided not to interfere, if the temple fell in a disaster then asked for his assistance he would gain influence within it.
As for the million gold question that goes < why the hell do they always choose Kai > is because Kai has face that screams ' pain is pleasure '. Although that's all in the father-son's head, they shamelessly enjoy bullying the young man to see his hilarious reactions.
' well, I have sent that guy over to observe those block-heads. I guess there's no need to do anything since the general went– huh? '
Lennox who was deep in his thoughts since a while now, finally raised his head.
" awake? Good thing. I think people started to realize that you were sleeping "
Lennox chimed in disbelief:" I was sleeping?! "
" Yeah, you took a nap for half an hour now "
He didn't want to believe it, but the scene in front of his eyes forcefully made him believe it. All the guests were already sitting around their tables quietly facing both the priestess and the groom.
' dang, I really slept around this crowd. This Zombie girl's aura is no joke, she really made me relax at such a time '
With that thought in mind, Lennox stole a glance at Everly, coincidentally, she was also looking at him. After making eye contact with Lennox, Everly Whispered to Jennings as she slightly pulled his clothes.
" your majesty, your majesty! I want to talk to Lennox "
" little Eve wants to go with Lenny? "
Everly nodded at Jennings's question. Her brother left to do something so she was supposed to stick close to Jennings, however, She still had something important to tell her friend.
Jennings kissed her on her cheek, before letting her down of his lap.
" Here you go "
Tap
Tap
With a couple of steps, Everly reached to Lennox's seat. She gestured to him to make a space for her, then climbed up the chair.
" What is it? "
Bernard's plan was long since ruined, so there was no need to keep their distance. And of course, seeing Everly sticking to Lennox like superglue or something, created soundless murmurs around the hall.
" I have something to tell Lennox "
Both the kids were whispering quietly so that Jennings doesn't hear them.
" tomorrow, brother Ba will leave to Baranos kingdom and I will come back to the palace since he can't take me with him "
' leaving again? General sure has a lot in his plate '
Now that Bernard is managing the nonhuman societies, he will need to travel much often. In the past, the master travelled a lot, even more than what Bernard was. However, he always took Everly along, but Bernard doesn't have te confidence to protect his little sister from everything.
Bernard is strong, that's undeniable.
Yet, there are mistakes bound to happen, unexpected coincidences that are fated to occur. No matter how strong he was, Bernard can not be compared with his master that had experience worth thousands of years. dragging a little girl everywhere around the continent was not an option for him, and the safest place available was Sitia's imperial palace.
Everly continued after a pause.
" So when he leave. I want to run away "
"Huh–?"
