Shortly after saying that Sophia ran towards her room, and a little worried as she saw her daughter running, Mr Radiance asked "Do you really think it was good to let her come here for a while?"
"Of course."
Said Sophia's mother as she raised the glass towards her mouth.
'Because, how else would I take this sluggish girl off? … At least I hope she doesn't lose that boy to that daughter… '

And at the same time, in a mansion in the east of the city
Sitting in a chair at the end of the great hall, being completely alone was the old man, with his thin and apparently fragile body, wearing a completely white Hanfu and thinking 'Damn it, I urgently need to get that girl, but how am I going to do that? ? So far she hasn't left that damn house once, I knew that the general would undermine her safety, but I didn't think he would use house arrest. '
'… This is not good, if he really plans to keep her locked up in the house from now on, it would be practically impossible to catch her… and I don't want to ask the old man's help so, the only serious way to hire some senior master level to do this… but this is also not feasible at this time… '
While the old man was thinking, a boy, who appears to be just a little younger than Noah, being around 17, with his red eyes, and black hair with a single red streak in between, a streak that came from the top from his head, he made a small curve in his forehead, going in the direction of his left eye, he suddenly entered the room and said "Forgive me for disturbing you, sir, but I received new information about the Radiance mansion." after approaching the old man, and kneeling before him while lowering his head.
Upon hearing the word information, the old man quickly showed an interest in what the boy had to say to him, and said, "Great, come on tell me, what did you find out?"
The young man slowly raised his head, looking directly into the old man's eyes and said, "Today a person was seen entering the Radiance family mansion. And apparently that person came with the intention of staying with them for a few days. "
"I don't need this, this is completely useless information! Why, for a moment, I thought you guys were finally able to be useful to me ... what are you still doing here !? Hurry up and get out! "
After hearing the old man's screams, the boy stood up, and after turning around he walked slowly in the direction he had come before.
"…Do not wait!"
"… I want you to go yourself, and watch every step that girl takes. And when you have a chance, bring it to me. "
Upon hearing this, the boy turned slowly, and while looking directly into the old man's eyes, he asked, "If I do this, will you give me what you promised me?"
The old man was thoughtful, while looking into the serious eyes that the boy was driving there, and after a few seconds looking at the boy he said "Sure, I will honor our agreement."
After a few more seconds of looking at the old man, the boy closed his eyes and said, "If you are really going to do your part, as you say, then I will bring it to you as soon as possible." while he continued walking towards the exit.
But before leaving the hall, the boy turned around and said, "But if you plan to betray me, just as I am going to do my best, and the impossible to get the girl, I will do the same to collect this debt, so I hope that you don't have anything in mind. " with a clear threatening tone.
After saying that, the young man turned and continued walking slowly forward, thus leaving the hall.
Seeing the attitude that the boy has with him, the old man thought 'Even a brat like that is talking to me like that?' While he felt an immense hatred.
And after having broken the arm of the chair, because he squeezed too hard, thanks to the enormous anger he was feeling, the old man gave a hideous smile and thought 'A pill? Do you really think I would give a pill, something that even my stupid son was not fortunate enough to use, for some stupid little boy? When you bring the girl to me, you'll have to worry first about getting out of this place alive, and not with a pill that you never even had a chance to get your hands on. (Laughs…)'
*********
When you leave through the front door of the hall, there is a small staircase, and then a path that connected different areas of the mansion, but on the side of that path there were also some apple trees, a little after you left the hall, and under one of those apple trees was the boy looking at the blue sky and thinking 'I apologize in advance for what I will have to do, I don't know this girl but I hope she goes somewhere better than this world ... I would prefer not to have to do that, but ... it turns out that now I have no other choice ... '
