Decision

Desmond saw his father and mother did not answer Weston's question. They looked away while being cautious. Then Desmond heard Weston suddenly chanting the spell "Advance Spell: Dimension," and the world turned grey again.

Desmond and his family were shocked by this and prepared to attack Weston before his father wanted to ask Weston to interrupt him.

"Relax...no need to panic. This is just a precaution against spying. Now you can speak freely, Trust me." Weston spoke while making five seats and 1 table. Weston stares straight at Bastian's eyes.

'Ah, it's great to be able to use spells.' Desmond saw Weston manipulating the earth element by turning the earth into a chair and table and adding metal elements to decorate it.

Desmond and his family then sat in each chair while Alice carried Desmond. Seeing his father's behaviour was still doubtful, suddenly, his mother dared to speak.

"I am a former noble of the Imperial Empire, that assassin was sent to target a secret that I know, please, if you can protect my family, I will happily share that secret with the Northern Empire and serve the North Empire." Desmond saw his mother bite her lip after saying this.

'Ah, so that is.'

'i'm right, about my mother is noble.'

'and my mother was carrying a secret.'

'That even the king imperial empire also wants it.'

'Hmm…Im afraid my mother Is that too naïve, talking your value to this old man.'

'I'm aware this old man will try to hold my family stays in this country.'

'This is the power; the weak can only obey and ask for mercy while the strong can manipulate the situation.'

'it's a different world. I need to be stronger to get my freedom.' Desmond looks into Weston's eyes with a cold stare.

Desmond then notices Weston looks at him and stunned before looking back at Desmond's mother.

Then Desmond heard his father's voice refuting the mother's words.

"No, let me be at stake, I will serve the North Empire as long as I live. Please protect my wife and our children; they are still small; they need protection from the assassins ." Desmond could see the unwillingness in his father's eyes, which husband wanted his wife to be victimized.

Desmond heard Alice sobbing. He then turned to see Weston frowned.

"Relax, everyone, I won't do anything bad to you, I know that assassin is from the Imperial Empire. Even if they don't target you, This is still my responsibility. I will always protect the citizens of the Northern Kingdom. The conflict between the North Empire and the Imperial Empire happened five years ago. So this incident is just a warning to us that my estimation is correct. The imperial empire is planning something big." Weston said while standing up in a calm expression.

"No need to be afraid, I will protect you if you want to become citizens of the Northern Empire, and I will not ask why the Imperial Empire is targeting you," Weston said in a serious tone.

When Desmond heard this, he was confused, 'why is he so adamant about protecting my family? After all, we are just outsiders who just came to this kingdom, as I know. 'Desmond saw all his family fell silent, and after a few minutes, his father spoke.

"Sorry to be presumptuous, can I ask why the master wants to protect our family so much, even though we just arrived at the North Empire?" Bastian asked in a polite tone, but a serious expression could be seen on his face.

Desmond saw a Weston pause for a moment while closing his eyes, then he stood up and said

"To be honest, we lacked combat troops. While I was walking on the road to look for talent in the city's people, I saw one of the guards running towards the barracks and heard that the Imperial Assassin attacked you."

"I don't care about this little thing, but after I heard who attacked the Master Wizard, I immediately went straight to your location."

"After all, Master Wizard could be a huge problem to strolling around in this kingdom. Not only that, the Master Wizard usually becomes important people, so to be able to target you means you are not ordinary people".

Desmond saw Weston stop talking for a moment and take a breath. After a few minutes, he started talking again.

"If you join, I will immediately make Leona a Master Witch in North Empire Army while Bastian will be appointed as Apprentice or Guard."

'Ah, that's meant to obey or die in the hand of an assassin.'

'And mother rank is higher than the father.'

'Honestly, it's a very tempting offer for our families who often move places to take shelter. But it turns out that my mother's secret is more troublesome than I thought.'

Then Desmond saw his mother and father, glancing at each other and nodding at the same time. Then he heard his father speak with his mother supporting it.

"We accept your offer, master, but we have one request."

Desmond surprised both of his parents to agree.

"State the request," Weston said in a relaxed tone.

"We want our background to be kept secret, and our children enter the North Academy," Bastian spoke in a serious tone.

'For family, huh.'

"We want our children to protect themselves and live happily." Leona supports.

'They protect and take care of me from now.'

'So, I must reply to their kindness.'

"Wow, that's an easy thing. I will be happy to help young talents become assets in this kingdom. Take this handshake, and you will automatically become residents of the Northern Kingdom using my authority."

Desmond saw Weston reach out to shake his hand, then his father agreed by shaking his hand.

Suddenly a blue light surrounded all of the Desmond family in a moment and faded out.

"Phew... That makes it easier for me to tell the public why I protect you, wuhaaaaa." Weston said while laughing.

"Thank you, master, may we excuse," Bastian spoke with a tired tone.

"Yeah, after all, you guys just got out of an attack," Weston answered with a smile on his face.

Desmond and his family returned to the ship, and he heard his mother ask.

"Is this okay, honey? what if he betrays us." Leona asked in a worried tone.

"Take it, easy honey, with a citizenship contract it means we are right to become citizens of this kingdom," Bastian answered confidently.

"After three years we toured, we finally settled down. Ah, this is relieved." Leona spoke with a tone of relief.

"Mommy, Are we going there?" Alice, who had suddenly asked.

"Yes, my love.do you not like it? If it's not safe, we can still move to the South Empire." Leona answered with a smile on her face.

"No, I like this city is so beautiful. I see many pets around here." Alice answered with an excited expression.

When Desmond heard this, he became relieved because he had just arrived in this world and was already in a lot of trouble.

'Looks like my quiet life will start from here. Let's be prepared if things go bad.'

'System is looking for the fastest way to increase my strength in a short time.'

[System Conclusion: If the host wants to be strong quickly, it is suggested to kill a monster from beasts. It will add you combat experience and monster energy if possible.]

'Huh...so what used monster energy for humans?'

'Currently, monster energy is no use for humans, but the system can convert 1.00 monster energy to 0.10 unique energy if the host wants.'

'Ah, that is very useful for me. but for now, what should I do?'

[System Conclusion: Host needs to keep meditating.]

'...…...'

'Any other way?'

[System Conclusion: No.]

'......'

'Alright, now I have to wait for the time to pass.it's so troublesome in this baby form.'

-In the imperial empire palace, the residence of the king-

After the minister found out about Leona's location, he was delighted because the plan he had prepared three years ago was finally carried out. He waited and until he heard that the assassin who was in charge had failed to kill Leona. He frowned and then laughed.

"Hahaha. It doesn't matter how many lives are lost. I will get that secret. Butler relays my message and sends more assassins to torture and kill her after you got the information."

The butler who was always standing beside the minister heard this. He then clapped his hands, and many assassins appeared simultaneously in the throne room.

"Yes, my king!" All the assassins answered in unison and then disappeared.

"Hahahaha... soon. it will become mine, haha."
