Arabella was informed what happened earlier when she woke up. She looked her brother in the eye, as if telling him if he went crazy or something. Like he and Choi Han fought together?

No wonder their knight was looking at her brother with awe in his eyes.

She looked around, watching everyone do their own thing. They won't let her do anything at all. With her weak body, she supposed that it was a fair thing. Her children were smothering her with hugs, Leilah and Agnar were both not leaving her side.

So here she is, sitting in her wheelchair as everyone else prepared for supper. Looking down to her lap, she couldn't help but in awe, her big brother really is the best in terms of fashion. He had ordered her a floor-length gown with a high collar and intricate detailing. The upper half of the gown is a sleek, dark color, while the lower half transitions into a flowing, lighter fabric adorned with delicate patterns. A striking contrast is created by the addition of a dramatic, wide-sleeved cape in a contrasting color.

Simply gorgeous. She'll have him plan her clothes whenever there's an event they have to attend together.

"Try this," She turned to the side, and it was her big brother holding up a spoon. "Beacrox made chicken soup."

Opening her mouth, Cale fed her the spoonful of soup. Arabella hummed in satisfaction, as always; Beacrox's foods are the best.

Cale was giving her a small smile as he fed his sister and she fed her youngest children. He couldn't help but feel smug when Choi Han said that he will go and train, his oblivious sister could only tilt her head in confusion.

"Did something else happen when I was taking a nap?"

"Nope."

"Huh?"

Ron and Beacrox had been spoiling Arabella and the children with sweets after they're done with their food.

"If everyone has finished eating, we will start our evening training session soon."

Arabella could hear the Vice Captain's loud voice and started to think.

'The Vice Captain must have been motivated by Choi Han.'

Cale looked at the fired up knights and soldiers as he chowed down on the steak and even the rabbit soup as well. The rabbit soup was pretty good once he tried it. Of course, he could only snicker as he watched his sister try to persuade Ron to give her sweet tea somehow.

Cale sipped his sweet cold tea and sighed happily. This is life.

'3 days.'

Arabella calculated as they entered the village.

'The Black Dragon will cause a mana explosion in 3 days.'

They were now in a Viscount's territory that was right next to the Henituse territory. A villa belonging to the Viscount was built in the mountain on the right side of this village a few years ago.

Naturally, while it was labeled as the Viscount's villa on the outside, in reality, it belonged to Marquis Stan, the person responsible for making the Black Dragon go crazy. The viscount of this territory was nothing more than a dog of the Marquis.

'And in the mountain behind the villa hides the cave with the Black Dragon.'

— Do I get a chance to beat someone up?

She could only sigh at her brother's question.

— You know, for a Saint for the God of Death, you sure are violent.
