"What!? You're going to the battlefield!?" Charlotte, Iris, Fiona, and Stella exclaimed in shock.
Leon nodded slightly, taking a bite of the dry bread with an air of calm.
"Yes, I am," he replied softly. "The Demon race has been at war with humanity in the Desert of Chaos for over a week. Our forces are struggling, and I need to intervene to help them—and bring an end to this war."
At first, he had no intention of telling them about the war, believing it was too heavy a burden for them to carry.
However, since his time on the battlefield would be long, Liliana suggested he give them a brief explanation.
She worried that if he didn't explain, the girls would feel hurt and upset, leading to disappointment in him.
As a father, he couldn't bear the thought of disappointing his little girls, so he ultimately decided to heed Liliana's advice.
