"Oh, my child!"
Eva stood on the balcony, looking in the direction of the demonic forest with tears streaming down her face.
Standing behind Eva was Moss. Pain flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered from his numbness.
He looked out of the window. The moonlight was still as beautiful.
However, Moss did not like the moon, as the brighter and clearer the moon was, the more terrifying the monster forest was.
At this time of the night, I lost my child again.
How many times has it been?
Moss did not want to know, but as a level-nine expert, he only needed a moment of thought before his intelligent brain told him the answer.
13 times.
Moss would not forget every loss.
As long as he was not old enough, as long as he wanted, those innocent and cute faces of those children would appear in his mind.
It happened every time.
Moss blamed himself, but there was nothing he could do.
He was alone, but there were too many enemies.
Just as Moss was accompanying his wife, Eva, in sorrow, the butler at home suddenly rushed in.
Upon hearing the door being barged open behind him, Moss frowned.
In his impression, this butler was not such a rash person.
Then, he suddenly remembered that his old butler had left.
The old butler who had accompanied him for seven years had used his life to stall the demons in order to protect Bernal.
Upon thinking of this, his heart palpitated.
He wanted to reprimand the new butler, but when he remembered that he was the son of his old butler, Moss did not speak about it eventually.
At this moment, the young butler looked at the back of Moss and Eva in the room and said while panting, "My lord, Madam, I have good news, Young Master has returned!"
Moss turned around immediately.
The young butler had not understood what was going on.
He only felt his vision blur as Moss appeared in front of him.
Sensing the margrave gaze on him, the young butler had never seen such a situation before. His expression became nervous instantly.
"Are you sure you are not mistaken?"
Facing Moss's question, the young butler stuttered, but thankfully, he quickly corrected himself.
"Captain P-P-Parkes has already personally confirmed that it was indeed Young Master and the others."
Upon hearing Parkes' name, Moss' gaze softened a little. Then, he noticed something as he looked at the young butler and asked, "Others? Who else?"
"The members of the previously missing Victor Knight team."
The young butler did not know why Moss asked this question. Still, he truthfully told Moss the news he had just received.
"Every single one back?"
"Yes."
After receiving a confirmation, Moss fell into a brief silence.
No one knew what he was thinking.
After some thought, Moss waved the young butler away when he heard Eva's hurried breathing behind him.
"I understand. I'll be right there."
"I'm going too."
Unsurprisingly, when Moss said he was leaving, Eva stepped forward to indicate that she was coming along.
Moss disagreed as he looked at Eva's excited expression calmly.
"You will stay here."
"Moss!"
"Do as I say."
Eva froze. She could not understand why Moss would refuse to let her.
She called his name and walked towards him.
Her attitude showed that she was determined to leave.
However, facing Eva, who was acting unusually stubborn, Moss' response remained the same.
"Do as I say."
Looking at Moss, who repeatedly insisted on not letting her go, Eva realized something.
Tears that she thought had already dried up flowed down her face again.
"Oh, my poor little child."
Seeing Eva like this, Moss did not say a word as he turned around and walked out of the room silently.
When he reached the courtyard, the young butler had already prepared the carriage thoughtfully.
"My lord, the carriage is ready."
Glancing at the young man, Moss shook his head slightly to reject it.
"No need, I'll fly right over."
With that said, a golden battle aura surfaced on Moss' body. As the battle aura surged, Moss' body gradually floated up.
In the next moment, he transformed into a golden meteor that flew towards the city gate.
Meanwhile, Victor was confronting Parkes.
"We're all familiar with each other, and we all know the rules. However, can you let the young master in first?"
Victor had long expected this to happen.
After all, with their team's combat power, it was reasonable to say that it was impossible for them to return safely from the monster forest at this time of the night.
Not to mention that he was bringing two burdens with him.
They could not avoid the necessary checks and detainments.
Victor was prepared for that.
However, he still had to do his best to let Bernal go home as soon as possible.
Parkes hesitantly glanced at Bernal, carried by Alia on a horse.
Clearly, Parkes also thought that he was being unreasonable, but after considering his position, he chose to decline.
"No, before the Margrave comes, even Young Master can only wait for a while."
"I'm sorry, it's part of my duty."
"Alright, I can understand."
Victor sighed helplessly. At this point, he could only wait for Margrave Moss to arrive.
At this moment, Bernal had already fallen asleep on the horse.
He was not pretending to sleep to avoid the interrogation because he had really fallen asleep.
On the way home, Bernal became interested in the monster forest.
Therefore, Bernal spent a lot of time and effort on the plants and animals in the forest.
At the same time, he tried many modification plans for the Night Bat Ape.
As for the result, if obtaining a few crippled Night Bat Apes used as fertilizer was considered rewards, he did gain quite a lot.
When only one living Night Bat Ape remained in his hand, Bernal's eyes began to bleed.
He had used too much of Rogeria's power, so his body reacted naturally.
Therefore, Bernal lay in Alia's arms and fell asleep.
At this moment, while paying attention to the sleeping Bernal in her arms, Alia observed her surroundings curiously.
As a newborn, she was interested in everything that she saw.
At this time, the golden light in the sky caught her attention.
The next moment, a stream of light landed on the ground as a middle-aged man with a solemn expression and classy clothes walked out.
The man first glanced at Bernal in Alia's arms before his gaze lingered on her face for a moment.
Once this person appeared, everyone except Alia and Bernal in her arms bowed to him.
"My lord."
