Nathan brought a cup of hot water to Selena, who was still in a deep thought. Sullivan had given them a tent for them to use while staying in this place.
It was just a simple tent with two beds inside.
Selena was sitting on the bed while lifting her legs up and burying her face in her thighs.
"Drink first."
Selena shook her head, not wanting to speak.
He could understand her feelings, as he couldn't help but recall what Sullivan said earlier.
"What? Asura Face?" Selena's body trembled.
"Yeah. Aside from me, there are probably only a few who know about it. Nevertheless, I don't think your father has died, but I can't deny that something must have happened." Sullivan nodded.
"Where is he? What is Asura Face?" Selena's expression turned serious.
"I don't know." Sullivan shook his head. "There is only one person who knows that information."
"Who is he?" Selena looked like she was going to search for that person just to help her father. Her rationality was lost the moment Sullivan mentioned her father.
Sullivan shook his head. "I'm not going to tell you about that person, not because I have a personal grudge, but because you don't have the strength to do anything. Rather than sending you to your death, it's better if you hate me."
Selena's fingers were moving as if she wanted to attack Sullivan. To prevent her from doing anything, Nathan just held her hand. If she wanted to strangle someone, his hand could be her target.

Selena bit her lips. Thanks to Nathan, she regained a bit of composure. She said, "What can I do to get that information?"
"However, your father didn't like that idea. I had no knowledge about your family's current affair, but I certainly know one thing, your father... was doing it for you. He was probably seeking an item that could be used to summon a vampire progenitor so that his daughter was able to break free from all those foul-mouthed idiots. It was for you, Selena."
Selena's body was shaking. Nathan was implying that if she just forced herself to go, it was the same as not respecting her father's wish.
It was the father she respected so much. If she went there and died, what would her father do? What if he woke up and found his beloved daughter dead from recklessly trying to find him?
Selena knew this. No matter what, she still had three years to summon the vampire progenitor. As long as she summoned a progenitor, no one in the family would dare to question her authority.
At that time, mobilizing the resources to find her father would definitely be much easier, especially with this clue.
She had waited for so long to find her father. And after entering the academy, her life had gone better. She met Nathan, a man she could trust.
He was asking for her to trust him in this matter. In exchange, he would guarantee her father's rescue.
Selena took several deep breaths. "I understand."
"Thank you." Nathan smiled. After that, he turned to Sullivan and said, "Sir Sullivan. If you don't mind, can you listen to my suggestion about the battle and how we should proceed?"
"Hoh? You do remember that you are a normal person, while I'm the highest rank in the military."
"I know. But don't you give people an opportunity? It doesn't hurt to hear the mumbling of a commoner, right?" Nathan smiled.
"Interesting."
After recalling that conversation, Nathan looked at the sulking Selena. He could understand that she was still in a bad mood, even though she said she understood the situation.
But before he left, Selena grabbed his hand and made him sit next to her as if she felt bad for not responding.
Even though she didn't say anything, she just grabbed the cup and rested her head on Nathan's shoulder, as if saying she was glad he was here.
