CH 102

Lamont and Kendrick immediately informed the temple and other clans as soon as dawn broke.

The lion clan’s messengers were busy scattering here and there with letters bearing Fernando’s seal.

“Do not allow anyone to enter. Also, there may be a colony of flowers, so control access to the entire mountain range around it. Let those who live there stay somewhere else for a while.”

“Yes, Lord Lamont.”

Knights of the lion clan led the soldiers off to the mountain range.

Some of the heads of the clan, who received letters from the messenger, expressed their intention to visit the lion’s territory soon.

“There’s nothing going to be solved by coming. Tsk, how troublesome.”

“They’d like to see directly if Giles’ flower really resurrected.”

Kendrick answered.

A flower that was already extinct long ago.

No one knew why the flower was resurrected after hundreds of years.

Besides, the real problem was from now on.

‘Who the hell revived the Giles flower?’

First of all, Ester. He was definitely the first suspect because his activities before his disappearance were also suspicious.

Another clan was found in the land of the lion clan, and that one with Giles flowers, so perhaps Lamont has him in mind as a possible culprit. 

However, since it was found as a corpse, it wasn’t possible to conclude it hastily.

‘And how?’

It was recorded that the Giles flower grew only in the land of Tamar.

A special place in the land of Tamar, such as a place where there is little light and the color of the soil is muddy. 

But such a Giles flower bloomed outside the land of Tamar.

He has no idea how the flower was resurrected.

The next problem is the purpose of reviving the Giles flower. 

This was clearer than the previous two issues.

Giles Pollen had power so strong that it could wipe out an entire clan.

‘It must be for terrorist purposes.’

He doesn’t know who resurrected it, but it was never with good intentions.

In addition—.

‘Ester’s corpse….’

Linsy said she saw some strange powers in Ester.

Dark red smoke was billowing as if it were going to swallow Ester. 

She also said Ester had used prohibition on her. 

Then, the person wearing the black hood threatened Linsy—.

It felt like everything was connected.

Kendrick narrowed his brows, unable to shake off the ominous energy.

‘I need to strengthen the mansion’s security.’

Of course, even now, the mansion’s security was at the highest level.

Whenever Linsy and Arsene went out, Kendrick’s direct order of knights, the Shadow Knights, escorted them, and another platoon of knights followed.  

Still, Kendrick couldn’t hide his anxiety.

The fact that all the servants of the Wolf Mansion who were poisoned by Giles flowers have been cured,

It may have already reached the person who came up with all this.

So perhaps the most dangerous in this situation is Linsy.

After resurrecting the Giles flower, if they think Linsy might be interfering with their plans, they’ll be the first to get rid of it. 

Should he keep them from going outside for a while?

Kendrick murmured something that would have looked like the world was collapsing if Linsy and Arsene had heard it, then sighed. 

Still, Giles’ flower had been found, so he should be able to catch his breath for a while.

Just how the whole clan suffered because the Giles flower was not found for three years. 

Of course, he doesn’t know where those flowers will bloom again, so he must be focused and careful, but—.

‘First, there’s something I can investigate.’

While Kendrick was lost in his thoughts, Lamont was busy receiving correspondence from messengers from here and there.

Lamont sighed and said.

“I don’t know what to do with the beastmen who lost their intelligence. Everything is already bad, and it looks like they will die soon… They should lead them to their own clan.”

“Is there anyone from the wolf clan?” 

“Yeah. There were five corpses and three who were still alive. But it sounds like they’re going to die soon.” 

Kendrick gently closed and opened his eyes as if thinking for a moment.

Could Linsy cure it?

Linsy heals persons who have been poisoned by Giles flowers, probably because they have recently been poisoned.

Those who are in quarantine now were in bad condition, so it wasn’t known when they were poisoned by Giles flowers. 

So.

‘It’s a gamble to let her heal them.’

In this situation, it was necessary to hide Linsy’s ability as much as possible. 

Because it’s a situation where he doesn’t know how much of Linsy’s ability has been exposed. 

Kendrick quickly came to a conclusion.

“I will take over. I will take them to the wolf clan.”

He takes them, but he has no intention of making Linsy treat them.

If Linsy knew about this, she might want to treat it. 

He doesn’t plan to tell her anything either.

It may be called heartless, but Kendrick had a duty to protect Linsy. 

Because Linsy was only ten years old child. 

Lamont replied with a nod.

“Yes, I have to hand over the other clans as well… Damn, my head hurts.”

“When did the others say they were coming?”

“They said they would visit sometime tomorrow. Today, we plan to hand over the beastmen who have lost their minds and prohibit access and passage in the vicinity.” 

“It’s tomorrow… then.” 

“Dad!” 

Just then, the door to Lamont’s office burst open again.

Kendrick and Lamont opened their mouths without turning their heads at the familiar situation they encountered every time.

“Close the door and get out, Leona.”

“Yes, Leon. We’re talking about something important.”

Sure enough, it was Fernando’s youngest daughter, Leona, who stood proudly on the threshold. 

Leona’s orange curly hair, which swayed from her shoulders, was now down to her waist, and she was a hand and a half taller.

It certainly grew fast because it was beastmen, which was clearly different from three years ago.

But if there is one thing that still hasn’t changed.

“How many times do I have to tell you not to come in when there are guests—.”

“Uncle! Uncle, when are you going back to wolf territory?” 

Leona ran quickly and stood tall in front of Kendrick, ignoring Lamont’s words lightly.

Then Leona’s nanny and maids ran and stomped their feet at the door. 

“Lady, Lady! You can’t go in! They’re talking about something important!” 

“Come in and take her.” 

At Lamont’s words, the nanny and the maids rushed in and caught Leona.

However, there was no one who could withstand Leona’s power.

“Wait a minute, huh? I’ll just ask this. Uncle, when are you going home?”

“I don’t know, I’ll probably be back today. I have another business in Fernando tomorrow.”

“Then can you take me with you? I’ll listen carefully, okay?”

Leona’s eyes twinkled.

Kendrick smiled awkwardly.

Linsy and Arsene, and Leona and Cain. The relationship between the four children has not changed for three years. 

The fact that the two children occasionally visit Yeckhart’s mansion.

So, in other words.

“Didn’t you break the window of the mansion after saying that the other day?”

In other words, Leona’s accident has not changed.

In addition, as she grew taller and bigger, the scale of accidents was getting bigger day by day.

When Kendrick squinted and said, Leona rolled her eyes.

“That was a mistake. Really, really, I won’t cause any trouble. It’s been so long since I’ve met Linsy and Arsene….” 

“You met last week. What are you talking about, Leon?”

Leona glared at Lamont as if to be quiet.

“Leon, Linsy and Arsene are busy.”

“Why? Why are they busy?”

“They’re taking classes these days.”

Kendrick said slowly. In fact, Linsy and Arsene had been taking history lessons lately.

Other children originally started at the age of seven, but Linsy and Arsene were among those who started later because of special circumstances.

Leona, who crumpled her brows at the word “study,” soon said without caring. 

“Then I’ll take a class with you. Yess? Take me with you!”

“I’ll think about it once you leave.” 

Kendrick said, looking pitifully at the servants struggling to pull out the tomboy and spoiled girl.

“Really? Really? You have to keep your promise, okay?”

“No, I never promised….” 

However, Leona ran out without listening to Kendrick and Lamont as she did when she first came in.

Lamont, who was watching this, cleared his throat.

“It’s time for her to grow up, too, but after the first molt and transforming, she will grow up….” 

“Considering your case, I don’t think she’ll grow up. By the way, it’s time for Leona to do her first transforming soon.” 

If Arsene went as planned, he would soon be making his first transformation too. 

Kendrick hadn’t expected Arsene to have transformed into his beast form and a molt.

‘Because Arsene is sick.’ 

However, Arsene became rapidly healthy after meeting Linsy and receiving treatment from Linsy.

In addition, Arsene also manifested his powers, contrary to the words of many doctors who said he would never be able to manifest his powers.

So he was going to do his first transformation soon. 

Kendrick smiled at the thought of the two kids waiting for him at the Yeckhart Mansion.

****

And soon after,

The head of the dog clan quickly visited Fernando.
