I have to stress it again.

  Good times never last.

  While I thought I could continue to enjoy my ‘new’ life with Lilia, Bishop Leon poured cold water on it.

  The very next day after David left me, Bishop Leon called me to the underground training ground.

  “We will go on a field training tomorrow. I have to warn you. There is a high risk of dying. So be more careful.”

  That was the first thing he said to me the moment I set foot in the underground training ground.

  He sternly said so, with a frown.

  Facing that sudden news, I could only respond in confusion.

  It was too sudden.

  Not only that, but he mentioned that I could die.

  It was not like I was afraid of death.

  I already prepared myself for it the moment I left the sanctuary.

  It's just that I had something important to do.

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  “Why so suddenly, Master?"

  With eyes as if looking at the troubled child, he weakly shook his head.

  Then, he exhaustedly said.

  “You must always prepare for unforeseen situations. The road ahead is not that gentle. Get used to it.”

  He might be disappointed with my answer.

  So, I found the need to clarify it.

  It was truly important.

  So, I told him about my prior appointment in the hope that he could understand.

  “But I have agreed to go to the town with Lilia.”

  I hope he at least delays it for a day.

  After all, I planned to confess to Lillia tomorrow.

  It was very important.

  I had to do it.

  I could not procrastinate it.

  I had already prepared the place.

  I even ensured that no one would interrupt us.

  I had to do it before I lost my chance.

  Yet, my message did not reach him.

  With the eyes of a predator looking at its prey, he stared down at me.

  “It seems reality has not slipped into your head yet.”

  He even took out his mace when he said that.

  I found that he would stop at nothing to drag me with him.

  There was no room to negotiate.

  It was already set in stone.

  Thus, I could only meekly accept it.

  “...I will comply, master.”

  It was not like I was afraid of his mace.

  I really was not afraid of it.

  Thus, for two months straight, I would go on field training with my master.

  I would leave immediately before sunrise tomorrow.

  When he told me that, I tried to contact Lilia.

  Yet, I could not.

  I was prohibited from meeting her.

  It was because Lilia had already left the mansion with Lady Iris and Duke Willow.

  She, too, would receive training from Lady Iris.

  That is why I am sitting in my room, writing this.

  I will leave soon.

  The sun is about to rise.

  I have to hold it in.

  I will surely come back.

  The moment I come back, I will confess to Lilia.

  So, please wait for me, Lilia.
