It was just a few hours before the arrival of the Dawn Knights that the parent farewell ceremony happened to take place.

Since the duration of the invitation event was generous, the parents spent ample time with their children, participating in other lectures and touring the academy facilities.

However, their faces were still filled with regret and worry.

The children, on the other hand, bravely smiled at their worried parents.

Evergreen was one of them.

Mom, will you be able to get to estate safely?

Youre such a worrywart. What about me?

Please be careful there too.

Oh, youre taking all the words out of my mouth.

Hehe. Thats because Im worried.

Evergreen and Mrs. Solintail hugged each other tightly before pulling apart.

The mother was returning to the dangerous estate, and the daughter was returning to the grueling training.

However, in the eyes of the mother, there was not only worry but also pride and joy.

It was really a fulfilling time.

Over the past few days, she had been able to make friends with all sorts of influential people.

No wonder Evergreen had such a personality.

Mrs. Solintail was just as active and bright as her daughter, and the other parents were very fond of her.Thi/s chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m

Some even promised to visit the estate in the future.

The new connections she had made would be of great help to Solintail.

It was a good decision to send her to Rosenstark.

Mrs. Solintail smiled brightly.

It was just the next moment that her gaze turned slightly back.

She even made such a handsome boyfriend.

At the gentle gesture of her hand, Luke hesitantly approached the mother and daughter.

In fact, the farewell ceremony was a somewhat awkward event for him.

But he had no choice but to attend since Evergreen was coming with him.

A slightly tense look was on the boys face.

It wont look good.

After all, he was the one who had cut off his stepfathers head.

But

Thump-

Luke looked at Mrs. Solintails hand, which had wrapped around his shoulder with a flustered expression.

A warm warmth was transmitted.

Youve been through a lot.

Ah T-thank you.

While Luke was flustered by the unexpected hug, Mrs. Solintail smiled mischievously.

When are you coming to Solintail? Hes very curious about you too. Evergreen keeps talking about you whenever she communicates.

Ah, Mom!

Lukes tension gradually subsided as he saw Evergreen blushing.

He nodded his head vigorously.

He was planning to visit Solintail anyway.

Because it was a promise he made to Evergreen.

The smile on the mothers face grew even deeper.

Hes got his eye on the girl just like Evergreens father had for me.

And so, Evergreen and Luke saw off Mrs. Solintail as she boarded the carriage.

The other children were no less enthusiastic in their farewells.

In particular, Gerald was melting the hearts of the parents with his characteristic friendliness.

Oh, hes so refreshing, Id like to have him as a son-in-law.

Ugh, Mom! Stop it!

Karens scream echoed through the air.

There were also some children and parents who exchanged greetings very quietly.

Strictly speaking, they were the agents.

Nyhill. Im always proud of you. Do your best as a disciple of the Hero.

The agent, disguised as Nyhills father, hugged her tightly.

The girl hugged him expressionlessly and stretched out her arms.

A hand brushing the hem of her sleeve.

As always, the companion slipped into her sleeve.

Nyhills eyes narrowed as she glanced at it.

What is it?

A different color and size than usual.

As she looked at it quizzically, the agent conveyed his meaning with a brief Morse code signal.

Nyhill, who had interpreted it, felt like she was falling deeper into a maze.

End? Retirement?

Hold on for a second.

Nyhill stood there, dumbfounded with a shocking expression.

It was because she had realized something.

Surely not.

At this moment, she didnt even think about acting or the eyes around her.

There had always been rumors among the agents of the Shadows.

That there were agents who gained complete freedom.

The voices of the members joking around.

Everyone seemed to be excited and full of anticipation.

There was no need to explain why.

The Hero approached quietly, killing his presence.

He already had a plan for how to deal with them.

Ted in private is

He was a gruff and tick-ridden but kind person.

The stern look he had in public was still there, but he enjoyed spending time with his colleagues, even joking around with them.

He just needs to act exactly like he did when he showed him at the hideout.

Of course, I need to make a bombastic statement before that.

The hero held the doorknob, thinking this.

!

The noisy lobby was instantly quiet.

.

.

.

Clang-

The lobby door opened.

As if water were being sucked into a dry paddy field, all the nerves and eyes in the room were directed towards the door.

The gossiping nobles and members also shut their mouths.

Step by step-

The members of the Dawn Knights silently looked at their leader, whom they hadnt seen in a year.

As always, he walked towards them with a calm and unhurried gait.

He soon stood tall and opened his mouth.

Its been a while, everyone.

Infinite trust, affection, and admiration were directed at him.

The Hero met each gaze and continued speaking.

Im sure you have a lot of questions and things to say.

Yes, thats right.

The first to speak was the orange-haired woman sitting in the corner.

Seeing the eye patch she wore on her left eye, the Hero recalled an old memory.

She was a member he had encountered several times during his time as stand-in.

Her name was Taylor.

She was a former pirate who had worked in the south and had converted after meeting Ted.

She had a deep affection for Ted, who had pulled her out of her miserable life.

But first of all, Im so glad to see youre healthier than I thought.

Her thin lips curled into a smile.

I was really worried.

Immediately after the great battle where he fought the Demon King.

The members were deeply saddened and confused by the Heros disappearance.

Of course, it was now known that it was because of a traitor, but the assumption that he had been seriously injured was also accepted as fact.

Dante also said somethign.

We really imagined all sorts of things.

They said that they couldnt help but be happy to see him in such good shape.

The other members also had smiles on their faces.

They didnt seem to care about their own injuries.

It was a heartwarming scene, even Yussi, who had been ticking, managed to smile faintly.

However, the Heros expression remained stiff.

Then, the corners of the members mouths began to slowly find their place.

And just as the lobby fell into complete silence.

The Heros mouth opened again.

What Im about to say from now on must never leak out of this place. Understand?

Yes!

The members answered for now, even though they had no idea what he was talking about.

The Hero took a short breath.

It was finally time for him to act.

.

The Hero recalled the memory of Ted just before he died.

He remembered what kind of expression he had made as he accepted his imminent death the guilt.

The undeserved guilt.

The expression that would make anyone who knew him feel a heart-wrenching pain.

He imitated it.

He felt the atmosphere freeze in an instant.

And just as the silence was at its peak.

The Hero opened his mouth.

I.

Meeting each gaze that gathered in unison.

He threw the trump card he had been thinking about since he anticipated this meeting.

Im going to die soon.

The Hero finished speaking, looking at the lobby filled with a deathly silence.
