Heās terribly perceptive. The restaurant was lively, almost overwhelmingly so. Friends, lovers, families sat together, their conversations weaving into a tapestry of warmth. The atmosphere that swelled with joy was a stark, suffocating contrast to the battlefield. Theon, whoād half his life on the frontlines, felt out of place. It was like wearing clothes that didnāt fit. There were no screams of agony, no wails of despair, no roars of deathāonly laughter. The war was over. And this wasā¦-

TL: Motokare Chungnip burst into loud laughter at the sight of Rothy fussing over a helpless-looking Theon, trying to comfort him. The child shot him a reproachful glare, then grabbed Theonās hand with a small whine, his green eyes gazing up with pure innocence. Theonās cheek twitchedānot from anger, but from an unfamiliar, inexplicable emotion. It burst like a dam, giving him no time to react or contain it. It was like trying to fill a tiny cup under a roaring waterfall:ā¦-

TL: Motokare āWhy donāt you go and exercise instead of butting in?ā Zey glared at Xeon, who remained unfazed, striking various poses to show off his muscles like a peacock flaunting its feathers. āWhat do you think? Arenāt my muscles well defined? Impressive, huh?ā āWhoa, itās incredible. Youāre so muscular.ā Screeeee. Both boy and weasel wore identical expressions of awe, their eyes fixed on Xeon in fascination. Theon felt an involuntary tug at theā¦-

Emperor Dierm rose from his seat, weariness marked his face as he looked down at HarriĆ©. āThatās enough for now. Focus on deciphering the research journal. There might be records of magic stone implantation experiments that donāt require sacrificing children. If there are, Iāll provide support so generous it might overwhelm you.ā ā......ā āPhillip, whoās next?ā āItās Viscount Ossonthay, Your Imperial Majesty.ā Count Phillip, the emperorās chiefā¦-

It wasnāt often that Chungnip, usually soft-spoken and warm smiles, raised his voice. His sudden outburst startled Zey and Xeon, who rushed to calm him, while the weasel bristled and hissed in protest. Rothy was terrifiedāhe bit his lower lip so hard it began to bleed. Theon stepped in, placing an arm between them, pushing Chungnip away before pulling Rothy into his arms. The child clung to him like a lifeline, burying his face into the solid curve of Theonāsā¦-

āWe understand the lordās decision and are patiently waiting our turn, but it's simply unbearable. Itās too inconvenient and unsafeāwe canāt live like this. Even though itās the dead of winter right now, weāre creeping across ice that could break at any moment. If anyone dares to walk a little faster, theyāll end up falling and calling for me. Iāll collapse from exhaustion at this rate. Even I took a tumble while making a house call! Our villageās full of elderly like me. If this keepsā¦-

Theonās sharp gaze caught the goosebumps rising on Rothyās thin, scarred wrist, exposed to the biting cold. The chill of the air was too harsh for bare skin to bear. Theon moved like the wind, quickly pulling Rothyās coat back on him. āStop teaching the kid weird things.ā He said flatly. āWeird things? Your Grace, muscles are a virtue.ā āGo get ready for departure.ā āYour cleaning freak kicked me out, claiming Iām no help.ā āThen go exercise orā¦-

With that, the Black Lion Knights were officially leaving the imperial capital. With Rothy in tow. āThose flagitious bastards...ā āMaster, they can hear you from this distance.ā āI donāt care. Let them hear. They already know weāre watching them anyway.ā From atop the imperial palace ramparts,ā¦-

āBro, Iām sorry to say this, but if recoveryās possible in just half a year, then ask the people to endure for six more months. I know theyāve probably been stretched thin all this time, and honestly, it kills me to say this as the emperor. But youāre telling me they canāt fvcking hold on for six more bloody months when theyāve already lasted three years?!ā Emperor Diermās polished tone slipped, his urgency evident as he paced back and forth like a restless, caged animal. Across fromā¦-
