Hundreds of kilometers to the east...
Robin is sitting on his bed in his own tent, the faint glow of the ring on his hand has finally disappeared
"Hm? Who was this, Robin?" Mila, who was lying next to him in her revealing underwear, asked in a low voice
"Just another moment and I will answer, my beautiful Mila..." Robin chuckled, then put his soul sense into his ring again... "Peon, can you hear me?"
"Yes, father, Give me your orders" Words that popped into Robin's head, were from Peon.
"The Patriarch's army will stay in the lands of the Rufus family for quite a few days until the matters of the oath, stabilizing authority, and resources keys handover, etc... is done.
I know that these people have almost annihilated your family, but as they surrendered I can't have you kill them all... you may search for the familiar faces that hurt you most and kill them, even if they are saints, don't hesitate to vent your anger and close that page of your history
In the meantime, I want you to begin to search for your kin, a good part of them must have been sold into slavery in the Duchy of Bradley, especially in the lands of the Rufus family.
You can take full advantage of the Wind legion members with you in this mission and reallocate a few thousand soldiers of the army to help you, make them work for their food instead of sitting in tents, gather what you can from your family and buy the freedom of whomever you can, there is no limit to the amount of gold you can use.
Oh, your old family lands are under Galan's control now after he attacked the Lying water kingdom, go there and look for any surviving members of your Camden family, and also gather the small families who have sworn their allegiance to you... I think you get the idea, gather them all back under your banner, and do it quickly."
"This…." A small reply came from Peon, after which he paused for a few seconds before muttering, "Thank you... Thank you..."
Robin didn't know that Peon burst into tears in these moments of silence...
In fact, even Peon hadn't thought of freeing and gathering his people until this moment!
he knows that there are likely hundreds if not thousands of them are alive somewhere... after achieving victory, selling the defeated enemies as slaves is much more profitable than killing them, especially in the wars that start for benefits no vengeance.
But freeing a large number of particular slaves would surely cost a lot of gold and human resources in the searching process, however, Robin opened the gates to all the resources for him
then Peon continued, "I will gladly accept the matter about freeing my people, but please don't worry about my revenge, father, If I found that it would cause harm to your plans or ignite the war again, I will just forget about it, I have my new life now, and it isn't half bad.."
" Good! " Robin smiled from ear to ear hearing this, then he ended the call and exclaimed, "Haaah~ What a nice day.."
"Hey! What is going on over there? Is everything alright?" Mila asked again, this time in an angry tone
Robin turned to her and looked at her exposed body from top to bottom, then nodded vigorously and seriously, "Yes, Yes, there are many things that happened and many things are going to happen, a lot of great news...
but it's so secret I can't say it out loud like this, someone might hear us! Lay on your back and open your legs and let me whisper the news between them, It's my new super new secret communication technique..."
"A communication technique that needs for opening my legs, hah..?" Mila asked with a charming smile, then slapped Robin on the forehead, dropping him off the bed, "Keep the news for yourself and tell me after marriage then!"
"Damn it, woman! If you don't want to do it with me then get the hell out of my bed or at least wear something, how many times am I going to say it to you?! I'm a man of flesh and blood, stop doing this!!" Robin got up irritated and threw a pillow at her
Mila has started following this nerve-damaging method recently, when she sees him heading to sleep, in seclusion, or any place where he is alone in general, she goes and spends time around him almost without any clothes, tempting him to do everything with her...
and indeed everything is available, except for the last step.
"This is what you have gained on yourself, you selfish bastard!!" Mila grabbed the same pillow and threw it at him
"Me? what did I do!?" Robin asked surprised and let the pillow hit his face
"What did you do?! tell me, What is the matter with all those Saints who appeared in the Burton family in the recent years, huh? All of them had their energy aura and laws techniques have changed, each of them could fight someone a whole level higher than him now...
You are saying that this happened without your interference? Do you think I am blind? I can't believe you invented something like this for saints and didn't tell me, your fiancée!!" Mila exploded
then took a deep breath and continued, "I already swore on an oath tablet years ago to keep your secrets before I was allowed to start working on the talismans, why are you still hiding things from me that many others know? It's not fair.. even if I'm not your fiancée, I am I'm still working hard for you, you cold hearted bastard!"
"Aha, It's about that…" Robin started to rub his head in embarrassment at Mila's explosion, it seems that she had been fed up and was waiting for an opportunity to let it all out...
then he continued, "Since when has this matter bothered you? Months? Years..? Why didn't you speak until now…"
"If you were interested, you would have noticed on your own." Mila said in a low voice and then I looked in front of her again, her naked alluring back facing him...
Robin looked at Mila's gorgeous back, then gave a long sigh and said nothing.
He had no defense for himself... she simply didn't cross his mind as he tried to come up with ideas to strengthen the Burton family and his adopted children.
"You are always so honest, to the point of being blatantly rude at times and you tell the truth no matter the outcome... so let me ask you something," Mila continued, "Now that you have come this far, strengthened the family, and eliminated all your old enemies, added more lands and riches... you have basically nothing in mind after this war, would you ever set the wedding date?"
Once again, Robin was left speechless
He will go to another world after the war and there is a big chance he wouldn't ever return, so how does he choose the date of the wedding?
On top of that.. he knows that even if he did not have this task, he would not have appointed the wedding date either, and he would have given other excuses such as being busy with research or something else like that,
in fact, he had the opportunity to complete the marriage more during the past few years, but he was finding excuses for himself to postpone.
"That is what I thought..." Mila muttered after Robin's long silence... "I'm starting to feel like you see me as a gold digger, and that I'm stuck with you to get something out of you for myself or my family, Robin... you haven't forgotten who I am, have you?"
