Van was taken aback, feeling a bit anxious.
In the next moment, his small hand was held firmly by his father's large hand.
Marcus calmly looked at Donald and said, "Van is still young. Although he possesses special abilities, he surely cannot defeat Lucia. Are you asking my Van to go and die?"
Donald quickly replied, "No, no, no! We won't let Van perish. He is the only friend of our Lord Shadow. We have no other options left. We thought of letting Van try and see if he could awaken Lord Shadow. If my spatial abilities have fully recovered, I can send Van to Lucia's side. If we cannot awaken Lord Shadow, I will immediately bring Van back safely!"
Van is Shadow's only friend, and even if it means sacrificing himself, Donald would never let any harm come to Van!
Marcus didn't respond immediately but said, "We will consider this matter."
"But Shadow cannot wait any longer!"
The longer time dragged on, the more likely it was that Lucia would completely devour Shadow.
