After picking up Mia, they headed back to the Chief Palace together. Along the way, Chief Valencia was surprised by how well the other two got along.
She did not sense the slightest aversion to strangers from the little girl. Even she did not get such treatment.
The little girl was still a little wary of her when they first met. After her initial surprise, she thought with alarm, 'Aren't they getting along too well?!'
"Is Little Brother Leonhardt fond of children?" Chief Valencia asked, seemingly casual on the surface.
Ironhead had also asked Leon this question before. Thus, he did not think much of it and acknowledged it with a nod, "Un, I am fond of children."
Some distance between Mia and Leon was immediately created as Chief Valencia pulled Mia away and looked at Leon warily.
