*Tap**Tap*

“Master, They have come! ” The beautiful black haired maid, Anna softly said.

“Hmm” Leylin regained his aloof demeanor as he started walking out of the balcony into his room. Leylin smiled after he sensed some familiar figures.

“Bring them in! ” Leylin said casually as he sat down on his couch.

Anna respectfully nodded and turned to the door signaling the duo to come inside the room.

“Leyl-Lord Leylin! Is that you?” One of them, a tall young man standing in the front was yelling excitedly.

“Long time no see!” Leylin watched the duo who were moving forward attentively, and couldn’t help but give a smile in greeting.

The one who had shouted was very tall and had a head of long golden hair, thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a high nose bridge.

There was also a female with an exquisitely cute face and a small frame. She also had a heroic aura around her.

These two acquaintances were the people he hadn’t seen in ages—George and Ivy!

George is an acolyte at the Ennea Ivory Ring Tower and Ivy is the poor warlock girl he met on his route to Light Magi region, who had too thin of a bloodline to successfully become a warlock.

“Lord Leylin, It’s good to see you again”

George was a friend that he’d made on that first journey in the beginning, but now the times have changed. George has to be respectful before an Official Magus, much less Leylin who holds an extremely high position in a Large Organization.

Ivy, on the other hand, was twiddling her fingers at the side, seemingly embarrassed, as well as excited. There were worship in her eyes as she looked at her benefactor.

“Come sit, both of you. Anna be a dear and bring some beverages for us ” Leylin smiled as he motioned for them to sit.

When Bicky was moving to the Four Season Garden entrance gate from Nightless city. She happened to come across a bunch of Acolytes. She was already instructed about the attack and the plan brewed by Jenna so she took no interest in the group.

While Leylin was going through her A.I.Chip, He saw George. He knew that Bicky might cross path with him, either on the way or at the Secret plane.

Leylin at last decided to give George a chance and had Bicky bring him here, along with her. It was just a small favor given by Leylin, George has a Grade 4 Level altitude, he will not be a burden. Leylin decided he will give him a choice to join Rebelhearts.

And Bessita( The beauty that caused real Leylin Farlier death), She is just a mere ant in his eyes. He cannot be bothered to even think about her.

While on the other hand, Ivy. It’s quite a story. Ivy had master her Knight techniques to the peak in a very small span of time. With her skills and better technique she was undisputed in her level. She spend rest of her days completing chores and doing risky works all while searching for information about Leylin.

Finally, After she got the information about him in the Broken Axe Pub, she gave an exotic herb that she found from somewhere to a Magus working for Rebelhearts, posted there for some business.

She asked if she could accompany him through the desert, Usually a Cold and Calculative Magus would have just taken the herb and gotten rid of a mere Knight.

But there is a catch she used the name Leylin Farlier and also referred to him as a benefactor, Although it could be considered as her bullshitting him, but His gut feeling told him that no one will be so stupid to use his name, especially not a mere Knight.

He immediately sent the information through the channel and after some time Leylin got it. Leylin was quite amused at her persistence, Her desire to meet him again is not as simple as it seems and while her struggle may seem subpar, no one knows what she must have went through to get to this point.

Impressed by her tenacity, Leylin arranged for them to travel via the Airship quickly coming here and had Bicky pick her up on the way here.

Previously, someone like him would definitely not do such a thing on whims, but the current him has the leisure and ability to do whatever he desires so he didn’t mind the small stuff.

“So George do you wish to join the Rebelhearts, I must advice you that you will get any favors for being my friend. All that you will have must be earned by your hard work. And you will also start from the bottom” Leylin said seriously to him. Although Leylin pretty much just treated him as a convenient tool in the beginning, He still feels that George was his friend in a way.

“Yes, Lord Leylin. I have thought it through and I would like to join this group, it’s just that I am an acolyte from… ” As George was mincing his words, as Leylin cut him off.

“Don’t worry about that, you didn’t sign a contract with them. It’s fine, I will take care of it”

“Then, I must thank you” George bowed as he was gleeful at the chance given to him.

“Anna, take him and sign him up with the one wing”

” Yes, Master ” Anna smiled as she lead George outside the room, Leaving Leylin and Ivy alone.

The Rebelhearts members are divided into many levels depending on their value and standing in the group. This rankings is assigned proportionally correlating to Strength, Duty, Contribution and worth. As the Rank increases the number of wings on the Skull also increases.

The Lowest One wing: Is for Acolytes, with average aptitude. Then, Two Wings : For Direct disciples or Genius level Acolytes. This is for them who have a backing in the group or the talent to commission attention. Three Wings : These are for Official Magus, at professors, researchers, alchemist and such level. Four Wings: For the Leader or strong Magus. They can be classified as Head of a department. Five wings: The Elders who holds maximum power in the main stream. They take direct orders from Leylin and are all at Peak Rank 1 Level. The Last one Six Wings : This is also known as Dragon Guards, They are the personal squad dedicated to serve Leylin, filled with all his closest subordinates. Grenn, Dexter, Freed, Anna, Lancy and Bicky are the only members of this level.

As for Leylin, well he doesn’t need one!

Leylin waved George away as he turned his gaze to the beautiful and cute little girl Ivy.

“I can see the fire in your eyes still burning with hatred against Yale Family, So I assume you still desire revenge?” Leylin spoke uncovering Ivy’s inner thoughts.

” My Lord, I am willing to do anything. Please give me a chance ” Ivy immediately kow tow and hit her head on the ground, pleading for a chance at revenge against her foes.

Leylin looked at her with no sympathy, He is quite surprised at her ability and talent in Knights path. What would take years for people to accomplished she did in such a small time frame.

It’s not like he don’t have a way for her to become a warlock but she is just not worth the cost, But Leylin can see that she has will, grit and determination to succeed.

” I will not get rid of the Yale family for you, although it may take just a simple word from me to eradicate that bunch, I don’t wanna! ” Leylin siad with a smile.

Ivy heart dropped at the sentence, but she still kept her head down.

“I won’t do it because I want you to. I will give you a chance, whether you pass or fail, we will see. If you do. Go and kill you sinner and crush his family yourself” Leylin proclaimed, as he have decided to let her continue on the Knights Path.

” Thank you! Lord, Thank you! ” Although it was just a whimsical thought for Leylin. For Ivy these words meant everything. The desire for revenge truly burns someone body and soul, For a little girl to suffer through this ordeal. To see her loved ones die one by one, right before her eyes for greed was a traumatic memory for her.

But she still kept pushing to get just one chance at revenge showing her intense fortitude and tough character.

‘Only through fire would the real you be forged, Your need for strength stems from goal and ambition, and only walking on this path of Blood and Gore should you succeed. In this way, you are quite similar to that Nyssa’.

Nyssa is also one of few people that Leylin decided to help previously, When Freed was with Bicky in the Tyler Mansion waiting for her to breakthrough. He handed the Magical contrat that Leylin took from Bosain to Nyssa. Freed then on Leylin’s command helped her contract with a rank 1 magical beast. At that time, She was just a Level 3 Acolyte so it was quite a chore to make it work but at last he succeeded.

Through this favour she was able to protect herself in the secret plane. Later, Leylin inquired about her but she immediately disappear, after Abyssal Bone forest got news about Leylin.

Leylin thought to just let it go, she has probably chanced upon a inheritance in the plane itself. The next time they meet maybe she will become her former self.

Leylin send Ivy off, as he decided to turn her into a Saint Knight. Leylin has also decided to add branded swordsman formation on her. Her growth will be extremely fast that way.

‘The time to move on to the next stage is drawing near now. All I need to do is sit back and relax! There could be no greater place for me to get stronger than this battlefield itself’
