"Hey!" Sigmund marched forward towards them and grabbed Ivory's arm. "What is the meaning of this? I thought you were her relative, why are you bowing to her?"
"I am her distant relative, but she is the only daughter of the head of our household. I was sent under the orders of her father and the request of Priestess Althaia to watch over her and guard her at all times."
"You don't need to. I am here, and I can protect her-"
"Sigmund!" Ivory panicked when Sigmund raised his voice. "Even if he's being sent to guard me, he's still my relative. Please don't be mad at him."
Ivory carefully grabbed Lycus' arm and helped him stand up.
"Who's her father? Why did he leave Ivory in the crate?" Gordon asked curiously while also feeling pity towards his daughter.
Lycus sighed, "It's to save her life. There were several people who wanted her dead."
