Since Richard was in a good mood, everyone was finally allowed to go home. Less than 15 minutes later, the officer returned to inform Richard that the wolt cubs had agreed to go to Hildi and carry out the mission.
The wolf cub’s name was Lucien Veyne, and his mission was to rescue Heron’s two c
children from the enemy colonel.
Five days had passed. Daphne had been waiting for ages, and it was finally the day her children would be home. However, when she saw the butler coming over with two eggs in his arms, she found it rather surreal. Had she really laid two eggs?
“The children still need some time to hatch, Ms. Miller. Since you’re not one of the Serpentkin, you wouldn’t know how to hatch ske eggs, so try not to take the rees out of the Incubator,” he stated.
Okay. Got it.” Daphne took the two eggs into her arms. The texture was similar to that of chicken eggs, but they were a little bigger than that
The doctors behind her stepped into the room. They set up the incubator and explained how to care for the eggs before leaving
“There is still work to be done at the United Federation, Ms. Miller, Colonel Lester said he would come see you once he’s done.”
Tell him to focus on his work and that he doesn’t have to worry about is,” Daphne replied.
“Understood.”
the butler was gone, Emma started observing the snake eggs in the incubator. “Once your eggs hatch, I’m sure they’ll be as beautiful as you, Ms. Miller.”
Daphne smiled and suddenly thought of Herkoen. He had pretty good looks that were just her type, so the children probably wouldn’t tum out looking weird.
“Oh, night. I wanted to ask you something.”
“Please do Ms. Miller.”
“Are there any Serpentin in Hildi?“
“Of course. There are many races in Hildi, Ms. Miller, Emma replied.
Daphne could relax after hearing that. Thankfully, the Serpentin weren’t hated by everyone. Otherwise, her children would have a hard
raining a toothold.
Daphne stared at the incubator, free of worries. Earlier, the specialist mentioned that the incubator could help maintain the offspring’s body temperature and prevent them from dying of hypothermia. On top of that, it could speed up the hatching.
However, each offspring’s physique was different, and the number of days required for incubation was different, too. They could not be sure when the eggs would
Daphne poked the thermal glass in front of her and muttered, “When will you finally be able to get but of there, kiddos?”
Perhaps the was seeing things, but she saw one of the eggs wobble. She rubbed her eyes and stared at it for a while, but she didn’t see it move again. She figured she must have imagined it.
Since the enemy had entered through the dog’s training ground last time, Lester told the butler to deal with it, even if that just meant planting some flowers and grass. He wanted to strengthen their defenses
The soldiers in the manor were guarding the building and maintaining the colonel’s safety, so the butler had no choice but to hire a few gardeners to plant some thomy trees around the wall, as well as greenery in the rest of the open space.
He even chose a few trees with sharper thoms for the garden, but there weren’t as many staff there, so he had no choice but to have them sent over the next day
Ever since Britney’s death, there had been nobody to cook delicious food for Daphne. The thought of it made Daphne even sadder. They had been getting along se well, and Britney was such a gentle, kind, and considerate person. Why did the good have to die young?
man’s faylt—dur man called Herkoel
Honestly, Dupline wasn’t one to judge people based on their looks, but ever since that experience, she felt that there was a certain logic to it.
Someone like Herkorn, who had sharp features, was a bad guy Lester, on the other hand, looked cold on the surface and had incredibly handsome features. One could tell he was a soldier at first glance, so he was a nice guy
“Colonel Lester is here, Ma. Miller, Ernuna said anxiously from the side.
When Daphne tuned to look, Lester was already next to her, leaving her utterly stunned. She shot Emma a puzzled look, as if she was asking her when he gut there.
Extra was sccted of Lester, so she stood far away. “I called out to you just now, Ms Miller, but you were su engrossed in watching the eggs that you didn’t hear me.
“Glory. You can go downstairs now,” Lester suddenly said.
Emona Äncmediately cured away.
“What were you thinking about? You looked so lost in thought
Daphne smiled awkwardly. “Nothing much. I was just thinking that anyone can tell you’re a nice person.
”
“Hmph. A nice person?” Lester pulled a chair over and sat down next to her. “I’ll have to disappoint you, then, because I’m far from it.”
How can that be? When we first met, you rescued so many people from that underground boxing ring and took me in when I had nowhere to go. Now, you’ve taken me and my children in, too. You’re the nicest person in the world to me.
A nice person? That was Lester’s first time hearing someone call him that. Even his colleagues in the United Federation would only describe him as aloof and appressive. Lester didn’t know why, but he secretly felt happy.
“There’s something I want to discuss with you, Colonel Lester,” Daphine sald
“Just say it,” he replied.
“It’s just that……. I’ve been bothering you for a montis already. I feel bad for freeloading off of you so much. I’m thinking that once the children have hatched, I’m going to take them and leave. I’ll go start a business or get a job. Either way, I just don’t want to cause trouble for you, Colonel Lester,”
Lester was completely shocked. “You want to leave? Is this place not comfortable enough?”
Daphne repeatedly shook her head. “That’s not it. There are so many people here who care about me, and they treat me extremely well. You’re very nice to me too, Colonel Lester, but I can’t keep relying on all of you. You’re going to have a wife someday. My children and I staying here will only affect your reputation”
Lester stood up quickly, causing the chair to make a harsh sound as it scraped across the ground. “I’m sorry. That must have scared you.
“However, I don’t think you are impacting me in any way. Not to mention, where will
