Lovely night was smoothly followed by a lovely morning. 

The two woke up almost at the same time, glancing calmly with each other. They didn't have a continuous sleep, because Little Han would wake up several times because of his baby needs. 

However, there was no trace of annoyance nor dissatisfaction in their hearts. They were filled with love and warmth as they saw Little Han growing slowly day by day. 

Little Han could now open and close his eyes. Finally they could see his lovely bluish eyes. Although it lacked the crystal clear luster like Leon's eyes had, Eli was sure that he would take after his daddy's beautiful crystal blue eyes soon.

More baby hairs also grew on his little head.

Eli was happy that she could clearly see the reddish tint on Little Han's fine hair. It was like a thorn taken away from her, because Little Han wouldn't have to hide his features like her. 

Carefully stretching, Eli stood up to prepare breakfast while Leon took Little Han out for the morning sun. There were no words needed for the two, everything went in perfect sync, from looking after Little Han to doing the morning chores. 

Eli felt so surprised thinking about how perfectly symbiotic their relationship was. She couldn't help but stop and blush. 

Leon was really perfect husband material!!

After the quick breakfast, Leon took Eli and Little Han to Grandpa Andi's hall for a while.

This was because he would take Olivier in tow to report briefly with the Crimson Blade, so no one would actually guard for Eli except for Baobao and Wisey. 

Baobao and Wisey are already stronger, under the joint guidance of Olivier and Leon. However, they are in the capital, where enemies could pop up left and right. 

It is safer to stay with Grandpa Andi's building as it would surely be guarded heavily.

"Don't worry, We'll look after them, go do your duty!" Grandma Brygid assured the worried Leon. 

"Thank you so much, Grandmaster Andi, Madame Forgeworn." Leon bobbed his head in gratitude. 

He then looked at Eli with a tender smile and leaned his head closer to the sleeping Little Han to kiss his forehead.

As Little Han was sleeping in Eli's arms, she couldn't help but halt her breathing because she realized how close Leon was to her. 

She catched a whiff of his freshly washed hair. It was minty and manly, impeccably alluring.

Leon didn't notice Eli's stiff reaction. He just gave her a calm look and patted her head gently, "We'll be back soon. Take care."

Leon and Olivier took off right away. Eli and Little Han on the other hand went with Grandma Brygid and Andi to spend more time with her new found family. 

Leon and Olivier arrived at the Crimson Blade's barracks in no time. 

As soon as they entered, they could hear busy noises all around.

Some were jogging vigorously to train their bodies, others were sparring in the arena, some were practicing their casting abilities, while some were even sharpening their blades and wiping it like it was their most prized treasure.

Since they were currently waiting for the Emperor and Leon's instruction about the next steps to contain the Spectre, they kept themselves busy by enhancing their abilities. They didn't take this idle time for granted.

"Woiiii! Olivier is back!!! His highness is back!!!!"

A crimson blade knight noticed the two calmly walking inside the barracks, in his happiness, he forgot to salute to his leaders but instead ran around to announce their arrival. 

The rest of the crimson blade were so excited that they immediately left their positions and briskly ran around announcing their arrival.

"We greet the Wielder of the Blade! His Highness Third Prince!!!" 

"We greet the Left Blade, Vice Captain Olivier!" 

"We welcome you back!!!" 

They blades, led by Blaze, wore an excited expression on their faces as they immediately assembled and greeted the two. 

Blaze was even brimming with a sunny smile on his face, he hadn't seen his bro Olivier for a while. Finally the brothers are complete!

"At ease!" Leon nodded and received their greetings! He looked carefully at each of the twenty three members of the blades, accepting their agitated gazes up front. 

"I have two major things to announce."

"First, we will be preparing to coordinate with the First and Second Prince to cleanse the Empire of the Spectre forces! We will ensure that no one would be hurt by this sinister organization as long as we exist!"

ROAR!!! Hearing that they would finally be mobilized to clean the Spectres openly, the blades roared in excitement. They mightily lifted their right hand to a fist and shouted with all their might.

Leon patiently looked at the fired up expression of the blades.

He knew why these people were as agitated as this. It was because they were the people he and General Eugine had rescued during his training on the battlefield. 

Although the Spectre was not really doing something outrageous throughout the years, they still were guilty of committing crimes and offenses that harmed innocent people.

Just like the twenty one members of the Crimson Blades and the mysterious members of the Roaming Blades.

Some of them were rescued as children due to the remote terrorist attacks on the borders of the Empire. Some were rescued from the black market operated by the Spectre where they were sold as child slaves. 

Blaze was also someone whom they rescued from another black market auction. 

However, unlike most of them, he wasn't sold as a slave, but was kept in the dungeon as a potion tester.

The Spectre took advantage of his body and fed him countless sinister potions, even poisons to test their level of efficacy.

Why would the Spectre do this to a mere 9 year old? It was because Blaze was not a pure human. He was one of the rare instances of a successful union of a human and a dragon!

With this, he had a high tolerance to potion and superhuman strength despite not being a devourer.

He also had a high affinity with magic. His body was perfectly approriate to test these potions with his dragon blood, however, he will be subjected to endless pain and torture!

That was why he, along with the rest of the members of the blades, had deep seated hatred with the entire Spectre organization.

They joined the Crimson and Roaming Blades with a sole purpose - to annihilate the Spectres and all other sinister organizations that harm innocent people, especially children!

Now, their Prince had finally announced a wide scale operation to deal with the Spectre. How could they not feel agitated?

They kept roaring their battle cries, pumped their sturdy chests and stomped their feet in a manner where one would think that these people were about to charge at a war.

After letting out their passionate cries, the blades soon looked at Leon with obedience and waited for him to complete his announcement. 

"The second one I want to announce to all of you is that… I have found my future wife!"



The blades, except for Olivier and Blaze, were frozen shocked and wide eyed with the sudden announcement.

"And she just recently gave birth to my son, Johann!" As if talking with air, Leon ignored the blade's reaction and continued.



Now the frozen shocked blades had their mouths wide open.

"Olivier, here, was sent to a top secret mission exactly because of that."

!!!

Now the shocked expression of the blades reached another level as they robotically looked at Olivier who was lifting his nose high up in the air, proud of his glorious achievement.

Their eyes now stared at him full of envy and grievance! 

"How could the vice captain get ahead of us and get chummy with His Highness's little prince and future Madame?!!!!" 

"This is unfair!" 

"Totally foxy!!! Our vice captain is foxy!!!"

"How could he go with that honorable mission without sharing the glory with us!!!!" 

"AAAAH! So envious!!! That's future Madame! That's our little prince!!!"

Their hearts were full of resentment because of Olivier's fortunate encounter with the legendary beings that could convert their blood prince to a total family man! 

They couldn't help but look at Olivier, wishing that their stares could burn their Vice Captain's outfit.

Olivier felt creepy chills running down his spine, as he immediately saw his subordinates' fervent gazes.

"Oh nooo.." He couldn't help but be on high alert, these people might even ask him for a 'sparring' non stop. 

Still remaining calm and oblivious to the rising tension among the blades, Leon continued his speech.

"Due to these two major events, I'll have to divide you into two groups."

"A quarter of the blades will be left here to make rounds and take care of Eli and Little Han, while the rest will follow me for the clean up operation."

"With this, we can ensure that we will carry out these two important missions excellently."

"PERMISSION TO TALK! YOUR HIGHNESS!" A loud roar came from all the twenty members of the blades. 

Raising his eyebrow in curiosity, he gave a permitting nod and allowed the members to talk. 

"His Highness, I would like to volunteer to guard the Madame and Little Prince!"

"His Highness, I volunteer too!"

"Me too, Your Highness!"

Everyone expressed their strong desire to be assigned as Eli and Little Han's guards. Olivier and Blaze couldn't help but shake their heads feeling at a loss.

What about their deep seated hatred with the Spectre?

It seems like their desire to see future madame and Little Prince was stronger than hitting Spectre's asses off.

Leon kept a calm and authoritative demeanor. He said with a steadfast and unshaken tone,

"It seems like you all desire to see my future wife and my little son. However, I forgot to tell you these things…"

"My future wife is of Asani descent."

"My Little Han carried the blood of both Seirende and Asani."

"In short, they are the most delectable targets in the Spectre's eyes."

"PERMISSION TO TALK! YOUR HIGHNESS!" Another loud chorus rang in the entire barracks.

"I volunteer to annihilate the Spectre!"

"Me too!"

"I volunteer too!"

"Let's wipe out their existence in the entire Prasinos!!!"

"Let Vice Captain Olivier remain with the Future Madame and Little Prince's side!"
