Early in the morning, within the office of the head of Azureocean Castle, a middle-aged man asked an elderly figure in a worried tone, "Father, is Caron really safe?"0

"He completed his mission excellently. There's no need to worry. He returned without a single injury," the old man reassured him.0

"The moment the incident occurred, you should have called Caron and Leo back to Azureocean Castle immediately," Fayle said, clenching his fists as he looked at Halo.0

But Halo firmly shook his head and said, "Fayle, as a member of the Leston family, it's only right that he avenges his subordinates with his own hands."0

"But Caron is only thirteen years old!" Fayle protested.0

"Age doesn't matter when it comes to carrying out a mission, only skill," Halo said, his voice unwavering.0

As Fayle heard Halo's resolute tone, he forced himself to calm his mind. The moment he'd heard that his son had been attacked, he'd wanted to rush to Thebe right away. But it was Halo who had stopped him.0

"Fayle, don't get worked up, and have a sip of tea. It's Snow White tea from the North Sea," Halo offered with a tone that was more soothing.0

"...Father," Fayle began, but Halo interrupted him.0

"If Caron didn't have the ability to resolve this incident, I would have summoned him back to Azureocean Castle, just as you suggested. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Halo asked.0

Fayle understood. As his son, he knew Halo's mind well. He knew that Halo had great confidence...0
