76 Unwanted Guests

I saw it coming, but not like this.

I didn't even plan to take Lily with me since it would slow me down. Besides, I still feel a little bit awkward from that moment before.....

"I refuse. What does Charles know about running the place? Beside, I don't think I'll be good enough to be forming a party with this freak. Just imagine, he survived the General's personal aide and he's still alive and getting stronger as he is? No. No way."

"I'm not sending you as his escort or one of his fellow partners. I'm sending you because I know Kaff can protect you."

Lily raised her finger and was just about to speak, but she probably let the words sink in first before realizing what Grandpa just said. From her reaction, it seems that I'm the one that's going to be babysitting, and not her.

She stepped out from the corner and put both her hands on hips and stared at me, glanced towards Grandpa, before turning away and into the kitchen once more.
