Chapter 216 - I'm Waiting
Meanwhile, in Helmfirth city, where there is spotted a school building flies above the clouds sky. In the center of the land where the four roads meet and surrounded by a flower, a long chair was seen located on the side of one road and being occupied by a young woman.
Her face was gorgeous, on par with the famous beauty of the North Kingdom, Leona. Coupled with her white hair that fluttered and was as white as milk. Her skin was as smooth as jade in the sun made her look like an angel.
She, who was sitting while reading a small book on her thigh, suddenly raised her head and looked into the blue clouds as vast as the cloudless sea, and muttered,
"I'm waiting, brother.
" Her lip curled up, showing the most warming, beautiful smile.
....
Back to the situation in a small village located in the south of territory North Kingdom, Genward.
The sky had turned orange with the sun slowly looking down to sink. In one of the horse carriages, where many guards surrounding every corner of the horse carriage.
Inside the horse carriage, there was a work desk with a middle-aged man with short white hair massaging his head while looking at the parchment below.
"Father!
" A child's voice was heard, making the middle-aged man slightly startled and focused his gaze.
His surprised face gradually turned into affectionate as he looked at his beautiful daughter with her red hair tied up. He then replied in a gentle tone,
"Yes, my daughter?
"
Seeing her father's attitude, the daughter swallowed her saliva and mustered up the courage,
"Am I disturbing you, father?
" Although her father seemed to soften in her attitude, she realized that the look in her father's eyes was a busy man and seemed to be telling her to leave if there was nothing significant.
"Yes.
" The middle-aged man answered honestly with a sigh. Then he heard his daughter's apologetic reply and just nodded in response.
Focusing his mind again, he stiffened when he saw the content of the parchment beneath him.
" We should focus on dealing with Imp, but the matter about that boy also can't be ignored, sigh….
" His face already has many wrinkles while the youth on his skin slowly became paled like a leaf. Just as he was stressing about this matter, a knock on the door was heard.
*knock* *knock*
"Sir, I want to inform the progress we made on the beasts.
" The soldier outside this room spoke, making the gloomy expression on the middle-aged face lit up.
"Come in,
" the middle-aged man replied excitedly. But when he saw the soldier carrying two eyeballs in his hand, he frowned.
With an approving nod from him, the soldier put these two eyeballs on his desk while taking a step back, took another eyeball from his pocket, and put it back on the table.
Snapping his toes repeatedly on the ground, the middle-aged man crossed his arms, impatiently waiting for an explanation of his soldier's actions. He also noticed his daughter, who looked disgusted and looked away from this scene.
"We have analyzed the detailed report on the beasts that attacked, and as you might expect, these beasts are controlled. This is evident from the two eyeballs that are on the left side.
" The soldier pointed at the two eyeballs that had different reddish pupils from the eyeballs on the side.

....
The soldier added,
"Besides this fact, the experts of the mercenaries said, there are traces of spell usage on their heads.
"
"Is this information valid?
" The middle-aged man asked; this time, he stood up, looking down at his soldiers, who lowered his heads while giving a report.
"Yes, sir. We have validated this information with the Mercenaries of the Steel Legion who are skilled in magic.
" The soldier answered, still with his head lowered.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man stroked his chin as he thought back while muttering,
"Hmm, they again, looks like I'll have to double their reward.
"
Hearing an order from his superior, the soldier asked hesitantly,
"Pardon me, sir?
"
"No, I'm not talking to you.
" The middle-aged man then glanced at his daughter that secretly stealing glances at the eyeballs on his desk,
"Diana, bring up two gold bags from the storage box.
"
Hearing her father calling his full name, she replied thoughtfully,
"Yes, father.
" And immediately pulled a chest that was under her father's bed.
The two of them were Vesta and Diana. Even after a small talk with Desmond, Vesta still in a dilemma when he wants to evaluate the criteria for suspicion of Desmond set by his friend.
"Here is father,
" Diana, who handed the two bags of gold, spoke while glancing slightly at the eyeballs that were on her father's desk.
Seeing the curious gaze of his daughter, Vesta hurriedly handed these two gold pouches to his soldiers,
"Give this to the Steel Legion mercenaries. Tell them this is a reward for helping with the investigation and helping the boy as well the compensation for their dead comrade.
"And also tell the boy and everyone else that we will stay one more day in this village as a precaution in case of another attack.
"I will choose some of you to stay temporarily in this village for one week.
"
The soldier who heard this was in shock; his thoughts were not focused on what his Guardian words the matter about Desmond and investigation; instead, his eyes widened in disbelief at what he was holding at this moment.
These bags should contain about 200 Gold Coins, right? The soldier thought, a glint of greed flashed in his eyes. He then came back to sense and quickly replied,
"Yes, sir.
"
While lowering his head, the soldier thought, Really, rich people are very generous with money. But, this act same as betraying my Guardian. While smiled evilly, he secretly glanced at his Guardian and finally determined his resolve.
No, I can't do this! This just a short gain; what if I worked harder and found myself getting more than this? Yes, that's right, if they these lowly warriors can gain this much, we the soldier also have a chance!
The soldier's eyes were burning with passion as he saluted the Guardian once more before finally exiting the room.
On the other hand, Vesta didn't seem aware of his soldier's mind as his mind was full of suspicions guessing the true intent of these Demons' attacks.
Vesta sat back down with a long sigh as his head back leaning in his chair and his gaze fixed on the ceiling.
"Sighhhhh,
" Just as he was about to close his eyes, he suddenly reminded a matter about his daughter.
"Father, can I touch it?
" Diana stood still in front of her father even after the soldier took leave, she with one of her hands already holding the eyeball, asked with a look filled with hope.
His daughter's excited expression and the thing she was carrying were utterly out of sync with her beauty, making his face twitched,
"No.
" he forcibly took all the eyeballs and kept them in the desk drawer.
"Clean your hands and go to sleep; it's not good for women to stay up too late,
" Vesta added while re-writing the related report about Demon's investigation. On the other hand, his ears also picked up his daughter grumbling and snorting.
