Tok to tok.
"Lake in."
Curran went into Gilbert's study. Mark, standing at his door.
Curran stepped on his foot, he saw Gilbert who took off his glasses and put them on the table.
"Dad called?"
Curran asked standing right in front of Gilbert.
Gilbert took a long breath. Then answer the questions asked by his son.
"That's right."
"Did something happen?"
"The Lester family has arrived in this region, and will come here tomorrow."
Curran frowned. When the Lester family had reached the Crimson region, it meant that it was a serious matter that occurred.
Curran is aware of the fact that the Lester family is a family of assassins disguised as traders, as well as sending messages between the Eastern Continent and the western Continent.
'Does this have anything to do with a taming witch?'
Curran has a suspicion there, because the last time they came here was when a crime organization succeeded in slaughtering an area.
When Curran's estimate is correct. That means the organization is dangerous enough that a murderous family like them needs to step in.
Curran sighed.
"Dad, I'll take part in the meeting."
Gilbert paused for a moment, before he spoke to Curran.
"Sure, you can do it."
Curran nodded.
"Is there anything else?"
"No one, you can go."
"Then, I'll excuse you."
Gilbert nodded his head.
Curran came out of his father's office. He walked to the location of his room.
Arriving inside the room, Curran saw Rein who had fallen asleep with Moku sleeping beside him. And Joy is asleep on Moku's head.
As for Croft, he was sitting on a table close to the bed. Was looking at the peaceful face of Rein while sleeping.
"You haven't slept yet."
Croft averted his gaze from Rein's face, he looked at Curran who went up to the bed and sat down beside Rein.
[I'm not sleepy yet. ]
More precisely can not sleep like a human. He is a system. That's reality.
Curran rubbed Rein's head gently, his eyes filled with affection.
"Please protect my son."
Curran's voice broke the silence of the night between the two of them.
[Don't say anything obvious. ]
"I understand."
A gentle smile was on Curran's face.
[ Currants. ]
"Hm."
[My master is not weak. ]
Croft said that line with a deep look as he looked at Rein's face.
It was because he had memories of Rein's previous life. He knew that the journey Rein was going through was not easy.
It is full of violence and blood.
That's why Rein seemed used to seeing the slaughter that Yuda had committed.
Curran looked at Croft for a moment, then looked at Rein's peaceful face again.
Of course he realized, that his son was not someone weak.
When he first saw Rein covered in blood, Curran was worried. However, when the gaze of his eyes met Rein's blue eyes.
He realized one thing. Rein did not feel afraid or worried about her bloodied self. As if it was a normal thing for him.
His eyes were calm and relaxed. Not the eyes of an 8-year-old.
It was different from her when she first gained the fire attribute ability. Curran took a month to calm himself, and returned to his usual attitude as if nothing had happened.
That was why Curran asked Rein not to get out of the house and ordered the knights to watch over him.
But what happened, Rein ran away and came back covered in blood on his body. Even he ate his food quietly and casually, as if the previous incident was no big deal.
"I know."
Curran paused for a moment, before continuing his words.
"I don't know what she's been through in the past, nor do I know what she'll be going through in the future."
"All I want is one. As a father, I wanted to be home for him. That's it."
Croft had a complicated gaze hearing the remark from Curran. But it immediately turned into a twinkle, as his nose smelled a familiar scent.
[Golden, golden prince will come here. ]
Curran combed his hair back, then let out a long sigh. He stared flatly at a man who appeared wearing noble-style sleeping clothes right in front of him.
"Ran."
"Your majesty it's night, I'm sleepy."
"Wait for Ran, listen to me."
Jasvier walked over. And stand in front of Curran.
"Ran, listen to me."
"Your majesty!"
"Five minutes, give me five minutes!"
"Say."
Jasvier breathed a sigh of relief. He was nervous about facing the cold attitude of his friend. But he still said his purpose was to come here.
"My informant said that he saw the Lester family in the Crimson region. That's why I came here, is that true?"
Curran nodded.
"That's right. He wants to do business with us."
Jasvier stiffened in place. He had a stiff expression on his face, then looked at Curran's face seriously.
"Have he come because-"
"That's a new guess. I will report the results of the meeting with him to you."
Curran cut off Jasvier's speech, and told him his thoughts.
"I understand."
Jasvier closed his mouth as he was cut off. Then he retrieved Cristal's ball from the storage pouch. Then, put it on the mattress close to Curran.
"I want to give this to you."
"You will be in the Volker area, the Northeast region of the Xinlaire kingdom. So, it would be difficult for me to come to your room since it's the furthest region from the palace."
"This is Cristal's ball of communication. I can call you when you're there."
Curran stared at the Cristal ball in front of him. Then, he looked back at Jasvier's face.
"I understand. Is there anything else?"
Jasvier.
"All right, then I'll be back."
"certain."
Jasvier breathed. He teleported back to his room location, and disappeared from Curran's room.
[What the fuck is that! Why didn't he give you the gold coins? ]
Croft grumbled to see Jasvier leaving without giving a gold coin.
Curran ignores Croft's unqualified ramblings. He picked up the Cristal ball that Jasvier had given him.
[ Currants. ]
"Hm."
[Would I turn that Cristal ball into a ring? ]
"Hm?"
Curran frowned. He looked at Croft with a confused face.
[ Why? Wouldn't it be easier if the size of Cristal's ball was small. ]
[You just need a little magic to activate that thing, but still be able to communicate. ]
Croft explained the meaning of his words.
Curran thought for a moment, before nodding in agreement.
"Well, I'll buy Cristal's communication ball, then you can make it into a ring. Then, give it to Rein."
"Don't forget to give me tracking magic, so I can go straight to him if anything happens."
Curran told Croft about his thoughts. Then insert the Cristal ball from Jasvier into the storage bag.
"I understand."
Croft answered hesitantly. He recalled, that there is one feature of the system that can conduct long-distance communication.
He'll tell Rein about it. So, Curran does not need to buy a communication Cristal ball that can make him waste money in vain.
Croft nodded his head, after making a decision.
