As Desmond turned around, his pupils shrink and showed light surprises for a moment.
"Let them in."
Diana was standing behind Laura and her big orange eyes staring at her coldly. She gave her a snort before her eyes caught Desmond.
Her courage suddenly vanished as if she was standing in front of the mighty beast. Her cheeks turned red, and she could not help but lowered her head like a shame plant.
"Young master Desmond." On the other hand, the captain spoke after he gave the soldier a meaningful look. Afterward, when he gazed at Desmond and found him staring indifferently at his young lady, he frowned.
On the other side, the soldier standing firmly in front of the maids moved to the side, letting Laura and Annie stand behind their young master.
He kept staring at them as if he would block their path with only one word from his captain. As for the maids, they ignored the glares from the soldier and went to their young master's side.
Meanwhile, Annie was amused by looking at the sudden changes of this shyly young lady. As far as she knew, the two of them were planning to get engaged, but they had different feelings.
Her young master never once talked about this young lady, while when looking at her right now, it seems the young lady starts liking him.
A pity, Annie thought. She looked at Diana and shook her head.
How could she did not know her young master personality? Although she just spent several years with him, that was enough for her to understand that her young master never thought about his mother's words or marriage.
When Annie was fell in thought, she didn't realize her face showing discomfort and secretly throwing a mocking look toward her. She also kept comparing herself to Diana inwardly as if she was superior to her. Therefore, this made her looked like jealous.
Unlike Annie, Laura was not smart to hide her emotions. Count it as her woman instinct, she felt Diana grudge against her and prepare something about bad her. Therefore, she already glared at Diana for the time being.
Eventually, the two of them did not realize the looks in the captain's eyes turned cold upon seeing their stare at his young lady.
"Miss Diana, long time no see," Desmond spoke courtesy. He did not hide his annoyance in his eyes when looking at her.
"Thank you for helping me. Your father is really powerful and reliable." Desmond continued, but upon seeing Diana still lowered her head without any intention to reply, he showed a wry smile as if he was being ignored.
The captain was quick-witted as he immediately noticed Desmond's expression and also felt his young lady seemed in an abnormal situation.
"Pardon my rudeness, young master. It seems the young lady did not feel good today. You can go first; we will catch up as soon as the young lady's condition gets better." The captain replied while showing the most sincere smile to him.
But, from Desmond's point of view, he felt his smile was too disgusting, as if he was plotting behind him. He did not like that, but he still needs to maintain the courtesy.
After all, his father was the one who guarded him in the entire journey.
"Are you okay, Miss Diana?" He wore a worried face with his eyes showing a trace of panic when looking at the silent Diana.
On the other hand, when Diana heard the captain's words before, she almost exploded in anger and want to tear him apart, but that anger had vanished when she heard Desmond's voice.
"I'm... oka....y" She replied with a stutter. She did not know what happened to herself. Her heart beating so loud, and afraid Desmond to hear it, coupled with her body, suddenly became heated.
The first time Diana looked at Desmond when she arrived, she felt Desmond was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life.
He looks like a prince in her eyes, shining with much white glitter coupled with his sharp eyes, piercing her heart.
But, Diana did not feel good about her condition. Eventually, she almost burst into tears upon remembering what her mother has said.
Her mother once told her that a group of filthy women offered their bodies to any men in the dirty tavern and served them seductively.
Their body always in heat, like an animal that was mating. These women would use any tricks to get the man into the bed with her. She clearly remembered her mother's disgusted expression and the pressure she put on her shoulder, making her shiver.
"I see. If that so, we will go first." Desmond nodded. He turned around and enter Vesta's tent with his maids. He did not ask furthermore, fearing his patience running out.
When Desmond and his maids entered the tent, he saw Vesta was sitting on the chair behind his desk and looking at him expressionless.
The tent was not large like the prisoner tent. It was enough to accommodate five people. The tent had one set table and chair in the end, with many smaller chairs placed in the middle.
In addition, a shaped fork candle holder made of wood is placed on each Vesa side and near the entrance.
"Greeting, sir Vesta." Desmond greeted with a smile. He looks into Vesta and found his lips already curled up, showing a broad smile.
"Welcome... Welcome... boy." Vesta replied. His voice sounded as he was in joy. Although Desmond making a fuss outside, he heard their conversations and was satisfied with his manner toward his daughter.
"You guys can sit down, include the maids." Vesta continued, and a glint flashed on his eyes when he realized Desmond had two maids right now. " Since when has your other maid has arrived?" he asked and squinting his eyes toward Annie.
Immediately, a colossal pressure pressing down Annie. She felt her body almost crushed, but upon taking a closer look, the feeling suddenly vanished as if never existed in the first place.
"This lowly maid just arrived in this morning, when the battle still running, Sir Guardian," Annie replied calmly. She did not fear the guardian as her lady had a higher status than him.
"Good, from the looks, it seems you can fight, right?" Vesta spoke and narrowed his eyes when he spotted the small changes in Laura's expression. His guess must be correct if she reacted this way. "If not, why that boy sent you here? Hahaha," He added and then laughed.
Vesta asked and replied his own question, which made the maids think he was funny.
On the other hand, looking at Vesta right now, Desmond was dumbfounded. The solemn Vesta he knew along the journey was suddenly gone and replaced by the Vesta he had seen when he just arrived at his home.

Immediately after Vesta finished his own joke, Desmond opened his mouth." I heard you need help to clear the path, right?" he asked and then continued when he saw Vesta nodded, "I've been asking the mercenaries to help you, and they agree to help."
Upon hearing his words, Vesta was shocked. The smile on his face slowly faded and replaced by his eyes widened for a moment before calming himself down.
Although he knew Desmond was the sole reason why the mercenaries sent their best men. Still, he did not believe they just agreed casually after the recent battles.
Never a thought crossed his mind that, in fact, mercenaries never said they refused to continue the journey at that meeting
Bandits, Beasts, Ogres, and now an assassin's teamed with a shapeshifter. Any person who faced this at the same time would be exhausted, tired mentally, and began to long their home
In addition, the mercenaries were known for their selfishness. Unless there was a bigger profit, they would not risk their life if not for the kingdom command forced them.
After thinking about this, Vesta suddenly became suspicious of Desmond's method. He thought Desmond and his family really had malicious intent toward the kingdom.
All of the appearances from the beasts, ogres, and the assassins were too strange and coincidence when he only brought newly recruited soldiers. He even suspected that he was the target.
Vesta furrowed his brows and asked, "I see, then what your-" before he finished his words, Desmond interrupted.
"I just want to fasten the journey. The academy will close the registration period close in one and a half months, and I need to prepare many things for the test. " Desmond spoke calmly after reading his expression.
After hearing those words, Vesta once more became stunned. All suspicious thoughts about Desmond and his family suddenly vanished.
His mind began to re-think, with his parents' contribution after the years, along with the agreement from former Grandmaster, there was no way they betrayed the kingdom!
After all this battle, he even forgets the vital things about this journey. They went through all of the hardship only to escort Desmond for him to register at the academy on time!
He shook his head helplessly. It must be because he has been growing old, making him forget small details. Maybe his friend and his daughter's opinion made him always think negatively about this boy.
The appearance of Imp already gave him a minor headache, and right now, the shapeshifter case looks like draining all of his intelligence.
