Lanci observed Christina’s expression and spoke to her.
Christina first turned around in surprise, looking up at Lanci as if her thoughts had been read.
"I don’t know what kind of intelligence the Kingdom Joint Council has received, but I hope nothing will happen for the time being."
She sighed a breath of relief and answered frankly.
Whether it was the Cerryti Empire in the various kingdoms or the Kingdom Joint Council in the Cerryti Empire, they both certainly had certain intelligence sources; often the intelligence from the Kingdom Joint Council would not be too far off. The South Continent might be approaching a critical point at any time now.
To think positively, maybe nothing would really happen for the next year or two.
But like a storm, turmoil is unpredictable; you never know when it has already started.
Perhaps this autumn, the world would change.
It could be any day, any time, or even any second.
If chaotic times were to come, having a loyal Seventh-order guardian in the family is more useful than all the money one could have.
"How about it, Miss, have you thought about not firing me now?"
Lanci asked with an interest-laden smile.
He had heard Cat Boss mumbling about the newspaper, the news making Cat Boss extremely worried.
But he didn’t see it as a problem, as The Senate in the Poseen Kingdom had guaranteed to take care of the safety of their foreign invited guests.
As allies, Poseen and Hutton would provide care for citizens in each other’s countries once external turmoil begins, unless there was a civil strife or change in government, which could lead to a very dire situation.
"No, our agreement will not change, I don’t want to owe anything to a Seventh-order powerhouse, I’m not taking advantage of your situation."
Christina firmly shook her head.
"..."
Lanci was choked up.
"Haha."
Talia let out a light laugh of delight in Lanci’s mind.
This girl had rejected Lanci for at least the third time; his so-called deal was completely unworkable.
"Since there is no more commission, then I shall take you home."
Lanci looked at the time displayed on the Sacred Silvervine Colosseum’s crystal screen and said to Christina.
Being mocked by Talia annoyed Lanci greatly.
"Uh."
Christina nodded at first, but then hesitated, looking up at the sky before shifting her gaze back to Lanci’s face.
"What, do you have another idea?"
Lanci inquired.
"Will you protect my safety?"
Christina asked him.
"Of course, it’s my duty. Ensuring the perfection of my work is very important to me."
Lanci answered with composure.
This sentiment was shared by Cat Boss in the shadows.
Lanci, when dedicated to his job, might even risk his life.
"Then could you take me on a tour of the Poseen Demon World? I have never been there since I was young, and my father and brother won’t allow me."
Christina looked up at Lanci with a mix of timidity and anticipation.
"Although it’s fine..."
Lanci always felt that she had some impolite thoughts.
It seemed she was not treating him as a bodyguard, but rather as some kind of ominous thing that could ward off danger.
"Let’s go, we will take a brief tour for an hour and then head home."
Lanci looked at the time again and agreed promptly and decisively.
He and Talia had not visited the Demon World after arriving in the Poseen Kingdom.
They had planned to visit the Poseen Demon World once all the formal business was done.
But since Christina had made such a request, it was considered part of his official duties to take a look in the Demon World first.
"Yay!"
Christina clenched her fist, eager to set off immediately.
She straightened her skirt and gestured for Rocky to follow, with a light step, she headed towards the exit of the spectator stands.
Many citizens of Parriet would not dare to enter sectors 7 to 10, which belonged to the Poseen Demon World.
Her brother, Kyle Baptiste, being a bold type, once went there with a Demon Race bodyguard.
Although theoretically the Poseen Demon World wasn’t that dangerous, after being accustomed to the safety of Huadu, one would indeed feel that the Demon World’s public order was relatively poor.
If she went with Rocky, then there would certainly be no problem.
After all, he was very good at warding off evil.
...
The Parriet Sector 6 where the Sacred Silvervine Colosseum was located was only one kilometer away from the border of Sector 7, the Poseen Demon World.
In the depths of the night in Parriet, when the city was immersed in the tranquility of silvery moonlight, Lanci and Christina had already arrived at the entrance to the Poseen Demon World.
Passing through the narrow alleys on the edge of Sector 6, Lanci led Christina to a hidden door beside an ancient church that had been forgotten by time.
The door, made of weathered oak, was covered with fine tendrils of vine.
However, upon opening the door, brightness instantly filled their view.
In the large hall of the expansive train station checkpoint, filled with inspection gates.
"Miss, please don’t run around after we are in the Poseen Demon World, you must stay by my side."
Lanci reminded.
"Okay, okay."
Christina, wholly engrossed by her surroundings as if everything were novel, replied.
They completed the paperwork at the workstation and went through the gate.
As the mirror-like surface reminiscent of the Void Gate began to bloom with warm golden light, they slowly passed through.
Next, a pathway filled with light gradually came into view, its end seemingly connected to an entirely different world.
The moment they completely passed through the gate, they seemed to have traversed space and time, arriving at a street in Parriet that was both familiar and strange.
On the streets, the floating orbs of Light gently dispersed, illuminating the city at night as the pedestrians were almost all from the Demon Race.
