The knights moved fast to clear out the things and traces they left in the village.

As Kayden instructed, everyone is to immediately erase all the indications that someone came back to investigate the tragic village.

The knights of the Sleeping North were indeed extremely capable. They were able to carry out everything in less than an hour, and in an instant, all of them were already prepared to set off to the nearest teleportation portal to the capital.

"Rear guards, ensure that our foot tracks we move. Vanguard stays alert and do not let your guard down, same is for the side lanes, keep your senses wide open!" Bernard instructed his men as they mounted their horses for a fast run out of the Blood Valley.

However, even as they rushed they would certainly not get to the capital before the Emperor and the Governor accompanied the representatives of the Main Temple and the Green Wave institute to take a look at the prisoners.

Even so, they respected Eli and Kayden's decision to go back as fast as possible. After all, whatever information they were able to find in the mysterious dimension should be of utmost importance.

That same morning in the cottage…

The father and son were already busy preparing for the day when Baobao carefully knocked on the bedroom door.

"Good morning Prince Master, it's Baobao…" The giant furry companion called out.

Leon took Little Han in his arms along with his bear-themed sling bag and opened the door, "Good morning, what's the matter?"

"Prince Master, I finally felt my connection with Master reestablished!" Baobao excitedly reported.

When Leon heard his words, his eyes also flickered in relief. Finally, he could confirm that Eli is safe and sound.

Little Han blinked in confusion and asked, "Mommi home?"

Leon chuckled as he heard Little Han's question. He did not forget that the toddler actually prayed that his mother would go home today and so, he must be excited upon hearing that Eli's traces have been re-established.

"Not yet, son, but she will soon…" Although he knows that Eli and Kayden may take time to go back to the capital, he does not have the heart to say to his child that his prayer might not be granted exactly as he wished.

"Yay!!!" Little Han on the other hand was innocently excited as he bounced his body excitedly, jumping on Leon's arms.

With a gentle and doting smile, Leon rubbed Little Han's head and coaxed him, "Now let's eat, so that your mommy will not worry. Then soon she will come home."

"Owkieee Daddi!" Little Han giggled and flashed his milk teeth. The excitement could not be hidden in his entire body as he was particularly active today than in the past few days.

Soon they went to the kitchen where Rosea had already dutifully prepared the breakfast and the snacks that Little Han would take on his daily excursion.

Today he will stay in the main mansion of the Forgeworns because the entire Imperial Family will be busy along with the two Grand Masters and General Faraulds family.

This was because the Imperial Family and the Faraulds would most likely stand as witnesses for the important visitation later on.

As for the Forgeworns, apart from Grandmaster Andi who had the responsibility as S-Class Mage, the presence of their merchant family is not essential to the event.

But who cares? Today they will be able to monopolize Little Han all day!

Grandma Brygid and the couple, Tyce and Kristine, were busy preparing everything for the little one's arrival.

Of course, the Forgeworn and Farauld kids were also there, excited to see the youngest one among them. They all excitedly ate their breakfast, almost unable to wait for the time they will be spending on the Forgeworn plushie playground.

The wait did not last long, however, as soon after they ate and waited obediently in the plushie playground, they finally saw Leon and Little Han, with Baobao and Rosea following silently at the back.

"Wittle Han!!!"

"Baobao!!!"

The children squealed in delight as they ran toward the two excitedly. However, when they saw Leon clad in his imperial prince uniform, the kids stopped and clumsily curtsied, "G-greetings His Highness Third Prince!"

They were at least five to seven years old already, and so they had already taken some lessons about etiquette and could recognize Leon's appearance and rank at a glance.

Leon looked at them gently, the kind of look that he will never give in public unless it was Eli or Little Han.

"At ease kids, there's no need to do that because we are at home…" He told them gently as he bent to let Little Han walk and join the kids.

"B-but teacher said that we must…" Estelle and Benson, who were the closest children around Little Han looked troubled and confused.

"Then you only have to follow that when there are outsiders around. But if it is only us, then it is alright." Leon patiently coaxed the kids.

"Besides, if you do that, then you will always have to greet Little Han too, and you can no longer freely play with him if you insist…" He added.

When Little Han heard that, he looked at the children in worry. What if they insist on being polite with Daddi then they won't play with me anymore?

"Bwother…. Shister…" Little Han clasped his hands nervously, his eyes were worried and teary.

Estelle and the rest were worried too, so they looked at each other and then obediently nodded at Leon's words. If they would really insist then they could really not play with Little Han casually anymore because he is a member of the imperial family.

"Owkay… we will listen to His Highness…" They blinked innocently and replied meekly. "C-can we play with Little Han then, your Highness?" They asked.

"Yes you can, in fact, can I ask you a favor? Will you look after and protect Little Han for me while I'm not around?" He squatted and patted the kid's head gently.

Grandma Brygid and the rest of the elders did not interfere with Leon's interaction with the kids. They knew that Leon could handle this brilliantly as the prince of the empire.

Most importantly he had to have good skills with children, because what if Eli and he would have another bunch of kids in the future?

One way or another, he had to be good at handling kids and get rid of his scary frigid expression when kids are around! Only then will they rest assured when Eli and he will officially marry!

When he was done coaxing the kids, Leon did not forget to greet and respectfully ask for the elder's favors in looking after Little Han once again.

"Ayioo, Your Highness do not worry. We know how hard it is for you and Eli considering the plenty of work you have. We, elders, are here to help you, after all, besides, we love Little Han to death, it makes our day brighter and lively." Grandpa Brygid took pity on Leon's way of asking for favors.

Her words were not only a polite agreement but a sincere expression towards the young couple. They did not even have time to spend on each other as a couple and on their young son, yet the burden they carried was too heavy for even the emperor to bear.

Tyce and Kristine also shared the same sentiments. Tyce looked at him and nodded with assurance before patting his shoulders in a fatherly way, encouraging him to go on his way.

"Thank you, dear elders." Leon's heart warmed for receiving such support from the respected elders. Although he very much wanted to stay and talk with them over tea, he still had to rush to the palace and join the activities for the day.

And so he proceeded to attend to his duties in the palace as they were set to go to the court of sinners for the day.

"Leon, you are finally here…" Antoine saw Leon enter the waiting hall and gestured for him to join the two brothers.

"How are you feeling?" Leon walked towards the two, he noticed the stiffness and the looming troubled expression on Kazimir's face.

"I don't exactly understand what I feel today." Kazimir was exceptionally handsome today but none of it can hide the uneasiness in his eyes.

Princess Consort Arielle knew that it was a bizarre day for Kazimir and so she insisted on taking care of everything for him this morning.

From bathing to choosing his clothes and ornaments, Arielle dutifully accompanied her to the best of her abilities. Unfortunately, women of the Imperial Family were not invited to participate in this activity. Mainly because the former empress is imprisoned out there.

She could only do this to express her support for her husband who will see his mother and maternal family for the first time after the war.

"We're just here behind you…" Leon looked at him with his ever-expressionless countenance as he stiffly encouraged his eldest brother.
