Rendell officially became the butler of the Lassiter Household. Ramiel was now the new commander of the armed forces, and Albert became the leader of the new unit responsible for gathering information. The other experts also got their new roles.

Everyone was excited about their future and they all expressed their loyalty to Aethelwolf.

With the help of these people, the Lassiter Household would soon become stronger!

Aethelwolf dismissed them after giving them new contracts. “Sir Anton, Hyacinth, Rendell. You three will stay. I have something to give you guys.”

The three people stayed and stared at each other in confusion.

“Relax. I just want to give you guys something.” Aethelwolf said as he handed one wooden box to each of them.

“What is this, Sir Aethelwolf?” Hyacinth asked.

Aethelwolf smiled as he replied. “You three are now high-ranking members of the Lassiter Household, but there might be some people who won’t give you respect because of the strength you possess. Each box has enough pills to help you increase your level once and there is also a bracelet that has an Aura Concealing Rune inscribed to it.”

.....

“What?!” The three exclaimed in shock.

“Make sure that you will wear the bracelets at all times to hide your auras. No one must know about those pills.” Aethelwolf warned them in a serious voice.

“Yes, Sir Aethelwolf.” They nodded their heads solemnly.

“You may take your leave.” Aethelwolf kicked them out of his study. He then went to find Olivia and saw her on the balcony looking at the stars

The little girl was holding a big cookie in her left hand and a small bottle of milkshake in the other.

When she heard someone’s footsteps, she turned her head and smiled. “Papa, are you done talking to them?” She asked.

Aethelwolf nodded his head and lifted her into his arms. “What are you doing here all by yourself?”

The little girl devoured her cookie and pointed at the sky as she muttered. “I’m just looking at the stars. They still looked the same as what I saw in the forest where I once lived, but they seemed more beautiful now.”

Aethelwolf ruffled her hair and kissed her forehead.

In the next few days, Albert and his subordinates left the mansion to search for Fast Sword. They collaborated with the second prince to look for the guy and it took them about four days to find him.

A man dressed in dark blue clothing said as he pointed to a location on the map. “Sir Aethelwolf, Fast Sword is currently staying here. There is an old house in this area and our men saw him moving his ill wife into that house. We have already sent a group of experts to secretly observe the area and Sir Albert himself has already gone there to discuss with Fast Sword. Sir Albert said that he would be back to the mansion tonight to report the results of his discussion with Fast Sword.”

“Is that so? Tell him to bring Fast Sword here.” Aethelwolf promised Olivia that he would help the man and he didn’t want to break the promise he made to his daughter.

“Yes, Sir Aethelwolf.” The man nodded his head and left right away.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Another one? Olivia, massage my back please.” Aethelwolf helplessly said. The Lassiter Household was very active in the last few days because of the new changes to their personnel.

“Okay.” Olivia nodded her head eagerly. She then jumped behind him and started massaging his back with her tiny hands.

“You may enter.” Aethelwolf said.

Aenwyn entered the room with an expressionless look. She bowed her head lightly at Aethelwolf. “I followed the people who were secretly tailing us last time and they all went to the same mansion.” She reported.

Aethelwolf looked at her and said. “Oh? Let me guess. Is it the Maynard Household?”

Aenwyn shook her head. “No. It’s that person. They were sent by that man.” She muttered calmly.

Aethelwolf’s eyebrows jumped up in surprise. “Eh? Do you mean Brian? It looks like he is really up to something. Perhaps you might be right. That guy must be interested in the Holy Spring of the elves.”

Aenwyn nodded her head. “That’s right, but my family will never give the Holy Spring to him. Even if he begs them, they won’t give him even a single drop of it.” She muttered indifferently.

Aethelwolf looked at her and asked. “Someone from your kingdom speaks the human language?”

Aenwyn nodded her head. “My mother, the Queen of the kingdom, knows how to speak the human language. Other than her, the High Elder also knows how to speak your language.”

“I see.” Suddenly, Aethelwolf let out a smile as he said. “Normally, they wouldn’t give the Holy Spring to the humans, but what if Brian hands you over to your brother in exchange for you? Brian doesn’t know your identity yet, but if he learns about it, he might kidnap you from me.”

Aenwyn was still calm even after hearing this. She stared at Aethelwolf and said. “He won’t be able to capture me. He is weaker than you.”

Aethelwolf’s eyes narrowed into slits, but he soon chuckled and shook his head. “Is that your own way of praising people?”

“Just don’t leave my side and I’ll protect you.” Aethelwolf added.

There was a momentary change in Princess Aenwyn’s eyes, but Aethelwolf didn’t see it since she quickly lowered her head.

“Papa, my hands are tired.” Olivia grumbled.

“Aiyoo... Come here.” Aethelwolf grabbed the little girl and let her sit on his lap. He then gave her a small jar that was filled with cookies. “Here. This is for you.”

Olivia’s eyes shone with delight and she quickly took the small jar and opened it. “Cookies! Thank you, papa!”

Aethelwolf chuckled and patted her head. “Drink a lot of water later, okay?”

Olivia nodded her head happily. “Okay.”

Princess Aenwyn watched the father and daughter pair with a calm look on her face.
