"..."

Leon and Eli blinked speechlessly as they once again tried to process the implications of Grandpa Andi's words.

"Eherm! Well.. though the summons is not exactly the reason for you to join us on the journey.. But the Emperor had already heard your plans with young Kayden about sneaking into the Holy Island..

Having you and Kayden disappear at the same time will be too suspicious. But if you exited from public eyes separately, at most the people would just think it is weird, but they would not suspect anything.

Therefore, the summons can also act as a legitimate excuse for you to go out of the Empire and find a time to match with young Kayden to investigate the Holy Island.

Of course, the details of your expedition shall be discussed separately with the rest..

Now all of the things I need to say have already been saying. Take time to think through it and you can approach any of the elders when you have already decided." Grandpa Andi finished the herbal tea that was served to him and finally slapped his thigh to stand.

Leon and Eli also assured him that they will think about the matter thoroughly. They attentively escorted the Elder out of the cottage.

As for Calderon and Elifas, they asked Eli if they could be allowed to spend time with Little Han at the Forgeworn Estate to which the little toddler agreed excitedly.

Seeing their son showing a good and amiable attitude toward the teenagers, they nodded and sent them off with a smile.

"Bybyeee Mommi! Daddi!! See you later~~" Little Han allowed Calderon, who was the biggest among the three to carry him to the estate as he enthusiastically waved his parents goodbye.

When Leon and Eli could no longer see the bunch with their naked eyes, they both sighed helplessly as they looked at each other.

The irony was that they were so helpless about how to ensure Little Han's protection just yesterday.

Today, the heavens had already given them an answer but they felt even more helpless than yesterday!

The Elder's news was also something that was not even made overnight. The guardians issuing their instructions a few weeks ahead meant that they had also foreseen this difficulty and took matters into their own hands.

No one could understand how Eli and Leon could feel at the moment, because they did not know if they should feel relieved, grateful, anxious, or burdened at the moment!

All they knew was that they have to talk through all these things carefully, and from what it looks like, they have to discuss it together with Kayden and the Elders before allowing them to take over.

However, they have separate matters to attend to today so they could only wait for the evening to talk about it once again.

Leon and Eli could only fix everything in the cottage before going straight to work.

"Winkle winkle wittle star! How I wonder what you are~"

Meanwhile, Little Han was happily humming while being carried by Calderon. On the side, Grandpa Andi, Elifas, Baobao, and Rosea could not help but be infected with the happy vibes he was bringing to the group as they went to the main mansion.

He was looking in the sky and his chubby fingers pointed upwards as if saying that's where the stars reside.

"Ermm... Little Han Buddy.. It's daytime today. You can't see the stars.." Calderon discreetly corrected Little Han.

"Hmm.." Little Han paused for a moment.

His body, which was originally leaning on Calderon's body, moved to meet him face to face. He blinked twice, looking confused at Calderon's words.

Looking at the little toddler's speechless expression, Calderon pointed in the skies and explained, "No stars today look! They'll be here tonight though.."

*Blink*

*Blink*

Little Han finally understood but contrary to Elifas and Calderon's expectation, he crossed his hands and pouted instead, "Wwong! Big Bwother is wwong!"

"Hmf!"

"Erm.. Little Han, your Big Brother Calderon is not wrong.." Elifas tried to help Calderon 'educate' the little child.

In their minds, he is also a member of the Imperial Family, if someone did not correct him and others have known this, he would be bullied and mocked. So they were worried.

"Wwong! Big Browthers both wwong!" Little Han insisted, then pointed at the sun, "Sun is a star!"

"W-what?" The two teenagers were left flabbergasted. However the next second they sighed, how could they argue with a one-year-old child?

Of course, he would not get it yet, he will still insist on what he imagined to exist! They have forgotten that although Little Han is way more intelligent than other one-year-olds he was still too young.

"Yes.. yes, Little Han is right. The sun is a star.." Calderon could only look at Little Han helplessly and eyed Elifas to also agree.

Elifas understood Calderon's signal, 'Fine.. when he is a bit older we can help him understand things by then!'

He also looked at Little Han and nodded as if he agreed with Little Han's statement, "Sorry your big brothers are wrong."

Little Han did not understand what was on their minds but since they said sorry, he thought that they understood. So he grinned adorably and replied, "Johann fowgives!"

"!!!" The two teenagers were taken aback at Little Han's naive reaction. But they could not help but indulge the little one, he is just too adorable!

It is known that the people of the Green Wave Continent, just like the elves, were not fond of interacting with humans particularly.

While there are a lot of democratic situations that needed interactions with humans, they were never known to initiate approaching them during normal circumstances.

However, it was a different story when it was Little Han. Calderon and Elifas always felt that they were very comfortable getting close to him.

They were even thinking of convincing their parents to 'immediately create' a sibling so that they would have a sibling as adorable as Little Han too! Then Little Han will also have a playmate!

Grandpa Andi could only chuckle as he quietly observed the interaction of the three. It makes him relieved to see that three of the future figures of half of Prasinos had a good relationship.

He hopes that someday, the differences will soon be broken and a true sense of unity and belongingness while being able to have their own space to rule will be fulfilled in the generation of these three young ones.

When they arrived at the main mansion, the trio joined the other kids who were in the playground.

All the adults are busy in doing the covert preparations for the upcoming journey, so it is only natural for the kids to be in the plushie playground.

Elifas and Calderon sat in the resting place and watched the kids play in the distance. While it looked normal for them not to play with the kids, their presence did not affect the children's mood at all.

"Calderon, what do we do next?" When the servants and the kids were no longer paying attention to them, Elifas asked his friend in a hushed manner.

"We try to convince Little Han himself. I need to have my Father or Grandfather see the dragon's nest themselves!" Calderon replied, their voices were so low that only the two of them could hear what they were talking about.

Their expressions were also calm and collected, not giving out any indication that they were talking about something sneaky and secretive.

"Why can't you just approach the Third Prince and ask him directly? It would be much better than using Little Han for your family matters." Elifas helplessly replied.historical

"Sigh.. you don't understand. What we already know was that the person we are looking for was on the Third Prince's side, and everyone knew that there were only around twenty extremely loyal people on his side.

I have carried out an investigation and only managed to get from rumors that these men were someone whom the Third Prince rescued directly from the clutches of the Spectre.

This also meant that even if they were to approach the Third Prince by themselves, the person may not even be willing to cooperate because it will mean leaving his savior behind!"

"And so?" Elifas is rather a simple-minded person, so he still did not understand what Calderon meant.

Looking at his friend who only knew how to act sulky and fight, Calderon sighed and continued to explain,

"You know that there would be a war right? Then it is most likely that the person will reject the meeting, not to mention acknowledge us as his kin because that would mean one less person on the Prince's side.

And so if we bring Little Han to the continent, then we will let Grandpa or Father see with their own eyes. I heard that though they would cooperate with the Seirende Empire, they will not go all out. B

But if we tell them that there might be someone on the prince's side related to us, they will do their best to make sure that the battle is won and the men beside the Third Prince are alive!"
