That kid… under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t let his sister handle all the work alone while he runs off to rest, would he?

“Where’s Lokhak?

Why isn’t he here to help?” Leon asked the lady steward with a hint of confusion.

“…Oh, him~~♪…

Tonight, just let him be~…” Elena winked at Leon mysteriously, her grin brimming with delight.

She knew that after tonight, it wouldn’t just be the Flarrell Family… there might even be new additions to the Ferucus Family.

Middle levels of the main castle.

The Red Knight’s bedroom, with shrouded windows half-covered, and the nightingale’s song filling the air…

The figure stands like pine, their feelings flow like water;

Graceful streams swirl, nourishing tender creeks;

The sleeves hide winds and rain, the arms hold moons in embrace;

The bosom harbors a fairy, who melts into their gentle hold.

…

…

With the wedding feast concluded, the next day, Count Eriv departed, taking with him the Thorny Flower Army rotating to the outskirts.

Seeing Leon’s left arm fully restored and his growing troop under command, Count Eriv no longer harbored a shred of doubt about the young man’s capabilities, entrusting the defense responsibility of Avalon Castle entirely to him.

Knowing that three hundred warhorses seized from the Battle of Ustato would be delivered to the Baron Domain in intervals, Leon accelerated preparations, urging the pastures across the domain to get ready to host the horses.

To cater properly to these ‘living ancestors,’ the team of horse management personnel expanded dramatically.

Leon quickly appointed Guard Knight Hawk as Stable Chief to oversee the coachmen managing the warhorses.

The army’s reorganization was equally demanding.

Knights and soldiers returning from their rotations resumed daily readiness training at the camp.

The masterfully crafted chain armor from the dwarf artisans was prioritized for veteran soldiers who fought in the Battle of Ustato.

As the wedding celebrations wound down, Avalon Castle and its vicinity gradually returned to the rhythms of normal life.

However, after the banquet, Leon discovered something curious—besides Azeryan and Raya, the newlywed couple inseparable in their love, Lokhak and Sally had likewise become romantically involved.

Leon had no clue when his brother advanced so rapidly in the relationship, but he reckoned it counted as double the blessings.

Except for Kovis, it seemed none of his close companions were solitary anymore.

The day following the celebrations.

Leon found Kovis, who was busy instructing Brandon on the nuances of magic knowledge.

The “little prophet” discovered in Eastern Kantadar was now studying at the academy like other children receiving education under Avalon’s care.

As the only discovered magic apprentice thus far, not only did Brandon have to learn the Felu Language, but he also had to prioritize the teaching of Lorelette Language from Kovis, even over the former.

For a boy who had been illiterate not long ago, the progress in cultural studies was understandably slow.

Still, according to Kovis, Brandon had already developed some ability to manipulate the faint magic power within him.

It was just a pity that his magic power was far too weak, even failing to keep the Guardian Spirit Holy Lamp lit for more than a minute.

Leon did not take this shortcoming to heart—should the heavens fall, there were still tall ones to bear the weight.

For now, he didn’t need to rely on a mere child.

“I’m sorry to send you traveling again.” Leon handed over another duplicated design blueprint of the Guardian Spirit Holy Lamp to Kovis.

“Make sure to present this to King Lydwen.

Tell him that this is our first research achievement as Court Mages.

Explain the significance of this invention against the undead in detail, and seek his approval to publicly share it with the continent’s nations.

Of course, if the King wishes to take care of the diplomacy, we would gladly be relieved of the burden.”

With Death Claw critically injured and still unhealed, Leon’s current roster only included Kovis as the sole Eagle Knight.

He deemed it far more efficient for King Lydwen’s numerous Flying Pegasus Knights to traverse the continent and negotiate, rather than his own emissaries.

The Orland Monarch’s representatives could access other nations’ rulers much more easily.

As for the fame potentially earned continent-wide through gifting the Guardian Spirit Holy Lamp designs…

Leon was content leaving it to King Lydwen.

Leon wasn’t inclined to fuss over such trifles.

Offering this prestige to the King earned goodwill, which could repay later in benefits extracted from the Old Dragon’s vault.

The meager six ounces of Moonfall Silver on hand was barely enough to craft one silver Netti Card.

For the future, Leon planned to ask for more.

Kovis received the leather tube holding the blueprints and nodded in agreement to take on this mission: “I’ll set off promptly, but where is King Lydwen now?

Is he in Kantadar Royal City, or has he returned to Orland Royal Capital?”

Leon shook his head: “I asked Count Eriv during the banquet.

He said the King should currently be near Double Gorge City in the ‘Magya Territory’ of Northwestern Kantadar.

The Kingdom is inviting the southwestern nobles in Kantadar for negotiations, discussing ceasefires and redrawing borders.”

At this point, Leon added a cautious reminder: “By the way, on your trip, if you spot envoys from the Felcon Family, try to avoid them.

Even if someone from Western Port recognizes you, King Lydwen will surely protect you, but unnecessary trouble is best avoided.”

Back then, they had assassinated Athias’ envoy Pilireno inside the consulate of Felcon Castle.

This action was undoubtedly still under heavy search in Western Kantadar.

Kovis, particularly with his striking features of golden hair and amber eyes, as well as his reputation as Pilireno’s former Magic Slave, made him highly identifiable.

What’s more, they were labeled as culprits who kidnapped Felcon Family’s bride on behalf of Galliard.

Speaking of which, that accusation was no longer unjustified—Miss Magreina was indeed now under Avalon’s shelter.

Quietly waiting beside Kovis and Leon until their conversation finished, Brandon couldn’t resist tilting his head and asking expectantly: “Mr.

Leon… how much longer until I can truly learn magic?”
