A week went by quickly as Nodus occupied himself with his training and while everyone else was doing their things, Evelyn was the only one who insisted on following the young commander as she stood quietly behind him.
Although his room was big as it took the entire floor, Evelyn could barely see any difference in furniture wise and nodded to herself.
'Luxuries is nothing to the commander, mhmm.'

"Sister, are you sure it's here?"
Mimi was puzzled as she stared at her sister.
"Mhmm, It went down this hole and will have to come out sooner or later for food...So let's set a trap here."
Lili, Mimi, and Ali spent most of their times together after completing their mission and took on some easy quest from the guild house to earn their own food.
"Okay...If you say so."
Ali nodded at Mimi before making space to let her set up a magic circle.
"I will put mine here just in case it doesn't go in that direction."
Ali and Mimi became quickly became efficient with their magic thanks to Kathrina who personally tutored them every time she was available, and shortly after placing the magic circle, the three girls went to hide behind a tall bush.
Their target would not suspect anything two invisible magic runes laid down in front of its lair or someone who possesses an advanced sensor technology like Lili.
"I see, it must be from big brother Nodus, right?"
Mimi realized only after she saw her sister staring at the empty space.
"Mhmm, you are right, I am not allowed to talk about it but since you found out..."
Lili simply told them after a rough training, they received a magical armor that came with many tools that enhanced their strength.
"Wow! Can I also be part of a squad?!"
Ali's eyes sparkled as she stared at the tall elf with a serious expression.
"Maybe...- It's moving!"
The three girls remained quiet as they peeked their head through the green bush.

"We're finally here!"
8 Cloaked figures stood on the edge of the forest as they stared at the marvelous scenery of the kingdom.
The white glistering walls that surrounded the entire kingdom was twice the height of the main city, and they couldn't even see the end of it even though they stood uphill from afar.
Unlike the city walls that formed a circle, the kingdoms wall came with a different kind of shape depending on the lands and houses billions of citizen.
"Back once again...This times it will be for good."
The family held their hands together before they disappeared into the forest.
"Are you really prepare for this?"
"I will do whatever I have to...For my family and friends."
Lati looked at Naire and gave a slight nod as she looked at the ground.
Not only their main enemy is the prince, but it was also one of their old friend who used to attend the same academy as them.
"But...What if the king stands behind him?"
"Then I will also cut him down."
The group remained quiet as they made their way toward a small village in the woods.
"Don't worry... I also want our daughter to be happy, so I will never blame you."
Lati reassured that she would be with him for each and every decision he made, even if it involved killing her uncle who was also the king himself.
'Mom...Dad...'
Lulu knew that her parents did not want to involve her in their problems as they hid most of their plans from her.
'Nothing less, I will still help, mhmm!'
