In Thomas' mansion, most of the people there already left the mansion. Except for Theofilo, Andrei, and Thomas himself. Before the other left the mansion, they prepared the plan for Andrei's mission for the adventurer group with help from Paulo.

At the end of the plan formatting, most of the people agree and with that Paulo chooses to leave Ostonorid to go back to Haegia, leaving Helena's safety to the adventurer's group as he believes they could protect her.

Right now, Thomas is sitting on one of the chairs and reading the letter given by Helena, while Theofilo and Andrei are discussing another matter.

Andrei then looks at Thomas and then says,

"That man..."

"Did you mean Volya? He is indeed an interesting person," replied Thomas as he continues to read the letter

"Heh... Even if you think something like that... Then, he is indeed genuine,"

"Nothing less to expect from someone adopted by the Portar Family," said Thomas

Andrei looks at Thomas with disbelief and then Thomas continues,

"Even I'm surprised to hear that,"

"... Is that the reason why you took interest in him?"

"And also the last line of the Ravelli family... The girl with the green robe,"

Andrei becomes more surprised to hear that. Thomas then explained to Andrei that both of them have become Haegia's citizens and it will be hard to sway them to Ostonorid. He even tells him that he already asked them.

Thomas then continues,

"And I even ask them whether they want me to teach them or not..."

"My... This is the first time I heard Sir Thomas Gill wants to put someone under his wing," said Andrei

"Ahahahahaha... This is a good experience for me,"

Both of them laughs and then Andrei says,

"If both of them indeed study under you, I must make sure my child should be on the same level as them later,"

"Did you mean Theodore?" asked Thomas

"Yes... And I believe it will light up his desire to learn more about magic..."

"Ah... because none of the mage around his age as bright as him, huh," said Thomas as he laughs a bit

"Indeed,"

Both of them then laughs together and then Theofilo walks at them and says,

"I'm sorry to use your mansion as the base operation for this mission, Sir Thomas,"

"That's alright... The honour should be mine, My Lord..." replied Thomas as he bows at him

"Then, I will leave everything on your hand. If there is a problem or almost near the conclusion of the mission, inform us," continues Theofilo

And with that, Theofilo leaves the mansion using the back door. Andrei still stay with Thomas and asks him,

"Then, why were they still hesitant about it?"

"A man that once not shackles with any kingdom..." replied Thomas

"Ah... Once they adopted by a kingdom, they will make sure that they will not taint their kingdom," said Andrei

"That's right,"

"That's too bad..."

"But, this letter could assure them a bit,"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Thomas then explained the content of the letter to Andrei and he nods at him. Andrei then says,

"Then, I must make sure my son is intrigued with them..."

"Ahahahahaha... Hopefully, they could rival your son," said Thomas

"I have a sneaky feeling... That he will take the interest on them,"

Both of them then laugh together and Andrei immediately leaves the mansion to his resident. Thomas then looks on the letter again and says,

"Fate indeed something, my dear friend... Your last line and also your adopted son..."

He then summons a small painting that consists of three-person. He looks on it and then mumbles,

"It's too bad we can't meet again... But, don't worry... I will take care of the two of them..."

And with that, he prepares to write a response letter that will be sent back to Haegia.

At the same time, at the corner of Lerwick. Reginald is walking with his knights towards one of the houses. He opened the door and couldn't see the inside of the room.

He walks slowly inside the room until he sees a candle lit. Near the candle, a girl is sitting in front of it.

Before Reginald could say anything, the girl says,

"What do you want?"

"I have another task for you..." replied Reginald

"Another task, huh..."

The girl looks at Reginald and he could see an injury caused by burning on her face. She then says,

"Who should I kill now?"

"It's her..."

Reginald gives her a paper and she immediately reads it. When she reads the paper, she says,

"Ah... So that's the reason..."

"Huh?"

"Nothing... I will accept this mission..."

"But for your information... The target isn't her alone,"

"Ara... So it's more than one?"

"Yes, but I will not let you kill all of them at once,"

"Alright... I will follow you... Because of the contract that we sign..."

Reginald smiles at her and then leaves her alone. The moment he leaves the room, the girl immediately throws a knife on the door and says,

"That fat man didn't know anything about you, huh..."

She then laughs a bit and says,

"Hopefully you could satisfy my bloodlust now... The Smiling Angel of Death... Ehehehehehe... Ahahahahahaha"
