"Father, what's happening outside?"

The war horn sounded. Karu said during the drill that it is a level 1 battle preparation. And the enemy will attack soon...

In a residential house, a boy of about 12 or 13 years old stood by the window. He placed his hands on the window sill and looked into the distance anxiously as if he was trying to find an answer.

The bearded father pressed on the boy's shoulder from behind and said in a low voice,

"Nali, remember, no matter what happens, you must remain calm!

"Only by controlling your inner emotions can you be your master.

"Be it sadness or worry, don't let your emotions interfere with your judgment."

The boy looked up at his father in confusion.

"But father, I, I can't do it...

"I don't want the enemy to invade Twilight City."

As the boy said that, he pointed at the troop below.

"I want to be like those soldiers, fighting for the lord, taking up arms to protect the territory..."

His father looked at the child-like face. And a different kind of emotion churned in his heart.

Protect the territory. Fight for the overlord...

Before he came to Twilight City, he had often heard the soldiers of other lords say this.

But at that time, he only felt disdain and ridicule.

"Does your territory deserve our defense?

"Are those greedy and foolish lords worth fighting for?"

But now, after he heard these words from his son's mouth, he felt a strong sense of agreement.

From the first day they arrived in Twilight City, Lord Richard had never mistreated them. He had always protected them with his power.

He lived a life free of oppression and slavery. He even learned to write his name.

For the first time in decades, he felt alive.

In his heart, he had already regarded this territory as his home.

He would not allow anyone to invade Twilight City!

Even if he had to give up his life, he would not back down!

He took a deep breath, turned the board around, and bent down slightly.

He looked straight into his son's eyes.

He said seriously.

"Nali, Twilight City is our home. We will not allow anyone to invade it!

"But you don't have enough power to fight the enemy yet.

"You have to work hard to grow if you want to protect this city.

"Whether it's to learn the battle skills of warriors or to learn knowledge. Only when you are strong enough can you contribute to Twilight City.

"You could receive a medal that symbolizes a hero from the hands of the Lord maybe one day.

"I think everyone will cheer for you when the time comes."

Nali's eyes beamed like the stars in the night sky when he saw the encouraging gaze.

However, he was still a little unconfident and spoke with some hesitation.
