    Some elders were 76239de893 staying in the e3424c3b56 annex, keeping an 820d65a371 eye on the 67e7a5197d situation in the 0b15a235f5 main fortress. Among them was Balzac.8b586fc832ddb023

    Balzac looked at Ivan, who was standing in front of him. His son, who hadn’t contacted him in a while, seemed even more frivolous than before. Naturally, Balzac frowned, and Ivan complained with a sullen face.e058f46420f56b31

    “How long are you going to stay here? Because of you, Zerakiel’s harassment has become even worse than before!”53b3f9e3383f2b4b

    It was clear that a3473051e0 Ivan had no intention b7ac4e5838 of stopping his constant 579e6f4557 chatter. Balzac sighed deeply.ad52127c514021e5

    “I can be a son like a daughter, if you’d like? Daddy?”5b6a980d958405ac

    Ivan said with d0d02acedd a creepy tone, 6547249ef1 trying to act 09fd42e5b2 cute. Balzac shuddered c87dba5017 with goosebumps a9aa0163f0 and shouted 699859258a angrily.96304b2c421cd840

    Ivan grumbled, then a9f366561f swept his hair 64c5459b8a behind his ears 48db8b4080 with a pouty 8c68a4a285 expression. Balzac watched this f2152ee90d bizarre scene and dbf7781fef sighed heavily.05c9b471030d6eae

    “Do you think I would sit idly by?”1dcc3dced9eb3710

    Balzac scoffed. As soon as he received a letter from the main fortress, he traced Cersia’s origins. But he found nothing.ff1b4a464e0ba742

    “It’s as if she just appeared out of nowhere, completely clean.”f1baa7a66a4ba188

    “You’re worrying about nothing. There’s no reason to bring that girl here, even if it means opposing Jabisi.”02ec4ca1cc449696

    He spoke, thinking that 7df2a70cf1 there must have been e399704f3d something special about Cersia 9a50f761c9 for her to be 7ca80b2c22 abandoned. But that was c9d2eec397 before he knew a143f88418 much about her. Ivan muttered coldly.8051c52ded9d7f6f

    “Well, we’ll see. Time will tell.”60d0df53e161dc7c

    Ivan already c5d2ec8302 knew that 33a3f82ca4 Cersia had 4fe99774e6 two types 1d4e2396f6 of pheromones, f1e3eefa80 both of 9cd8d237ff which were 55d5d9ab7c unusual. So, he thought it f4bd419798 was wise to prepare efe5d55c50 for any future claims 81d65a98b6 of ownership.551c6eab212470d3

    “…What is it?”4b43d97f1a9be83d

    When Balzac asked 54d1054a77 quietly, Ivan glanced a9451f44cb around and motioned 7e20ad02ce for him to 6c15838b35 come closer. As Balzac leaned forward, 1f2c653cab Ivan whispered.68a5d4220dccc65a

    Ivan even winked, making Balzac’s face twist in disgust. His troublesome son was becoming stranger by sticking close to that troublesome direct descendant.59ec5efb57fed64f

    Balzac was pushing 3639816564 Ivan out of a2ad5b7f98 the room with beddb0adda a weary expression a1cee5046f when it happened.0ac4618079fda377

    “Oh dear.”5d549609fb932cd6

    A clear voice interrupted from behind Ivan. As Ivan stepped aside, familiar silver hair caught Balzac’s attention.87cb32926996462a

    “Hello?”d993f21a04697042

    Cersia peeked out 9f3059dc2e from behind Ivan 98c331452f and greeted him. Her hesitant 8afad82037 demeanor seemed 6be8cadaeb suspicious. Why had she come 96780454e5 to the annex?e3cc73b612cdc22a

    Balzac, too flustered to 363c62fb82 say anything, noticed Ayla c241dd6258 standing behind Cersia with c5f7d48ac5 her hand on the 56e150abea hilt of her sword. A deadly 4053bc9aa6 aura seemed 7f3239c89d to emanate 3d9df95e12 from her. Recognizing her belatedly, Balzac e97f71fffa asked sharply.a191dc1b47467c41

    There was only ebe993e8b9 one reason for 19f8191853 Ayla, who enjoyed cf2e3ad1d3 fighting, to remain c20fb34349 in this tedious 508e02371a castle.9929a6b8b5aa0a51

    It seemed 845639a5cc Zerakiel had 7103394b9e forcibly kept 442beaa20f her here. As a a8229e32af respected elder d1594c55bb of the 06be7aa315 Lion Clan, c8121ca259 Balzac opened dba680566c his mouth 216af2fc9f to resolve 92fd23a638 this chaotic 097cfe11b0 situation.e920211401d1344a

    Ayla abruptly cut off Balzac’s words, but he didn’t understand and continued to speak.08f8ac1250254d25

    Balzac, taken aback 72349a436a by her unexpected 104b42dff0 reaction, hesitated, and 51e75c154d Ayla, her eyes 824f5b807e blazing, spoke again.31b2e26970804bab

    ‘When did I ever say I wanted your position?’ Balzac felt wronged. He was merely trying to help Ayla, thinking she was being unfairly treated as a warrior. Instead, she made him out to be someone trying to steal her position! Moreover, he couldn’t understand why she was so protective of her spot next to that weasel.908cfdf0f465af31

    Ayla clenched f6bfb1f83e her fist 211eaec5c4 in agreement. Ivan grinned and c707c69352 winked at Balzac, 0ea71cc4c0 who was left 0edd03a299 speechless.f9185e36054ec2b8

    He had 568639fa6d initially thought ad85a6591d that the 6ca9da4ea8 white weasel 9a05d8bb30 was being 66c2519cb8 threatened by 2d265a1b96 the black 8db7b8e798 lion, but 5388c6918a now he 456e3e15f7 completely abandoned 0be991c094 that idea. It was 2b25217d12 clearly the 74202cffb8 opposite. Jabisi Castle d0c92c3e3c seemed to fe88c16822 be entirely 859cd53c40 captivated by 29897991a7 this weasel.af91950776898ba8

    Balzac sighed deeply. In all his time 6ff79697d7 at Jabisi Castle, he 1b89dcd207 had never received such 2f8d24b7c9 a gift. Having only sons 7ea572d44a and no daughters, 343cde9e39 this kind of c53b8e492c situation felt unfamiliar. He realized this 80a0b99f85 was probably the 55395022c7 first time he f91052cb04 had ever received 3d40ba754a a flower from d7e86d795c anyone.33c8933e584fcfd6

    Balzac took the 006fe94719 flower with a 1b20b34938 dazed expression and 3af4ee5026 sniffed it. Just as Cersia 5f175afc23 said, it had 5224583426 a fragrant scent a5a70f71d1 reminiscent of spring dacdb13001 sunlight.997df1f23e5c4770
