Nirvan came to meet Brianna in the corridor and kneeled before her and put his sword on the floor.A knight doing this only meant one thing.Brianna stared at him for a while before saying, “Pick it up.”Nirvan picked it up.“Did Dracarius send you?” she asked.“I don’t think I can fill Sir Alveron’s shoes, but my lord Dracarius believes so,” Nirvan said. “If you are not satisfied with me being around, I will return back to him.”“I’ll keep you around for a few days,” Brianna said. “After that, I’ll decide.”“Thank you for giving me this chance,” Nirvan still kept his head lowered. “I will do my best to not disappoint you, Your Highness.”Brianna walked past him. “Let’s go. We have lots of work to do.”At the central prison in the capital city.Hessia and Felix were standing at the entrance, demanding to be allowed inside so they could talk to Oscar.“How could you not even let us talk to him?” Hessia growled at the warden of the prison, Urea, a woman who was at level 87 and was known

Ulmer’s clone entered the house, and the first person he saw was Jamie, his uncle who was reading a newspaper.Jamie looked somewhat similar to Ulmer’s dad, except that Jamie was shorter and had slant shoulders. Seeing Ulmer, Jamie froze for a second.Ulmer also stopped in his tracks. Both of them kept staring at one another for a little while.Jamie put the newspaper down and got up from the couch. “Where were you all these days, Ulmer? I’ve been visiting the police station every week, but they said the same thing. They couldn’t find you. The last time they found you on CCTV was at a seashore, so we’ve all thought you…committed suicide.”“I went out on some work,” Ulmer replied, “Uncle.”“Work? What work?” Jamie came closer. “You grew taller from the last time I saw you. You also look more manly and handsome.”Ulmer somewhat smiled. “I brought sweets.”Jamie took the bags from him and took Ulmer along to the couch. He made Ulmer sit next to him. “It’s really unfortunate what happened

After talking in a jovial manner with Ulmer, Mollie slowly shifted to asking the important questions.“What exactly happened? Were you there when it happened? Was that the reason you ran away?”She thought he had seen something horrifying like the dead bodies of his parents and sisters buried under the building blocks, covered in dirt. She couldn’t even imagine how heartbreaking that could have been for Ulmer.“You came to see me after that,” Mollie’s eyes were teary as she grabbed Ulmer’s both hands. “Why didn’t you tell me? Did you think I wouldn’t be able to bear it? Or did you think that Jamie and others were gonna quarrel about you staying here in this house?”Ulmer didn’t say anything.“Jamie asked the police what could have caused the accident,” Mollie said. “They are saying that the two cylinders in the house exploded, and then the fridge also exploded due to a short circuit. I still don’t get how a short circuit can destroy the entire house, including the pillars. Does that m

Ulmer didn’t want to eat food made by Ivy. The bread wasn’t made by her, but it was still bought by her, so he didn’t feel like eating it.“Don’t let your hatred dominate you,” Mollie told him. “You might dislike them, but they are still family.”“Will they ever truly consider me part of their family?” Ulmer wondered.Mollie paused for a moment and said, “I’ll be frank since you managed to get a job. It’s always better to work on your own two feet instead of relying on others, even if it’s your own family members. Parents are the only people we could trust in my time, but nowadays, parents can’t be trusted, either. They are not leaving anything for their kids and are also using their kids and trying to keep them under control for as long as possible. The times have changed. It’s not wise to rely on others anymore.” She put the plate aside and put her hand on his shoulder. “Work hard at your job, and pray to God that he gives you a wonderful wife. A good woman will stick with you till

“Please let him use your bathroom.”They were not the words Ivy was expecting, but she reacted before anyone else did. “HUH? What do you mean by that?”The young man and the old man both were a bit surprised by her reaction.“We were passing by,” the young man still tried to explain it as quickly as he could. “My dad’s stomach started hurting. I think the chicken he ate is the case. We didn’t have time to go to our home as it is far. We don’t know this place well enough to look for a public restroom, so we stopped our car as fast as we could. And we ended up at your house. Please, let him use your bathroom. He won’t take along.”“I understand your issue,” Ivy casually replied. “But the bathroom is a personal thing to the house, where only the people of the house go in and come out. It’s not meant for outsiders.”The young man was a bit baffled by her response. He briefly glanced at the old man who was still frowning and clutching his abdomen. So, he had to ask again, but this time, he
