My hand froze at that moment and the pasta that was beautifully rolled on my fork fell off because of my sudden pause.

Realizing her reaction a wave of bliss and amusement sprung within my heart as I let out a low chuckle and replied, "I will..."

After the meal, I set out to prepare for my quick trip to Silvertown.

As of the moment, apart from a very few mystic creatures around, we were the only ones dwelling in the forest as the Silver Dew Elves were still preparing to go back from the Green Wave Continent.

As such, the moment I go out, I would be leaving Eli and Little Han alone. Caught in a dilemma, I finally decided to introduce Zenith and Biggie to the group so that there would be extra protection for the two as I go.

Going back to the living room, I looked at Little Han who was now looking really sleepy after a good lunch.

"Son, come here..." I softly called him from his playground and squatted beside him while caressing the little sleepy head.

"Daddi~" Little Han answered tenderly.

"I'll be going out for a while and only you and Mommy shall be left here with Baobao and Wisey... will you be fine?" I asked though deep worry is creeping into my heart as I would really be leaving these two in the midst of the forest.

"Iz fine, Daddi!! Johann will pwotect Mommi!" Hearing my words, the sleepiness on my son's face vanished immediately and he became livelier.

My eyes flashed with guilt, however, it would still be worrying to take Eli around Silvertown when she is still unstable. Moreover, I am still not sure of the effects of war in the little town so to speak.

With that in mind, I sighed and assured my son, "I will introduce you to someone who will also protect you while I am gone..."

Little Han looked at me, blinking with his two little crystal blue eyes curiously.

In a flash, I opened my palms and a Biggie appeared in his tiny form. Among all my familiars, Biggie is the most docile and protective. That is why I choose him to accompany Little Han and Eli while I am away.

"My son... this is Biggie." I moved my palms and showed Biggie to Little Han closely.

"Vrooo???" Biggie, the little earth golem stood up and moved his arms while looking at Little Han curiously. "Master... son?"

Although he could only let out some inaudible sounds, as his master, I was able to understand what he was saying.

"Yes... my son and soon-to-be wife," I answered while pointing at Eli who was watching us expressionlessly in the distance.

"Wahhh...cute!" Little Han's eyes shone brightly upon seeing Biggie, it was apparent that he was excited to see him.

"Vrooo.." Biggie let out a hesitant sound which in my mind translates to, "Shy..." The debut release of this chapter happened at N0v3l--B1n.

Amused at the two's interaction, I took Little Han's palm and let Biggie sit on it as I instructed, "You can hold him, he will help you watch over the house."

"Oohhh..." Little Han held Biggie carefully his eyes full of attentiveness as if he was afraid that Biggie would fall from his hands.

Now, even though the circumstances aren't ideal as what I have envisioned after the war, the heavens still used this situation to realize what I lack and what I should improve on.

Having them by my side is enough...

And just like Eli's healing and Little Han's growing, I too shall grow and improve to become a better husband and father they can rely on.

Thinking about that paints a smile on my face. The fire of hope that seemed to have been struggling to burn inside my heart has become stronger.

Tomorrow, and the next few days to come... there will be much more.



The news of the Silver Dew Elves' arrival came a few days later and now, Kayden and his family, Aunt Yelena and Uncle Cornelius visited the cabin. historical

"Uncle Kayden!!! Gwanma! Gwanpa!!" As we welcomed the guests, Little Han smiled brightly while greeting the three.

Kayden immediately scooped Little Han in his arms and hugged him tightly, beating his parents from holding their grandkids.

I smiled, holding back my grin as I replied, "Welcome, let's go inside..."

Helpless as they realized that they would not be able to snatch Little Han from their son, they let out a helpless expression as they followed inside.

Leading them to the living room, they saw Eli who had now developed a habit of reading some books in her favorite corner of the room.

Sensing the presence of the room, Eli lifted her gaze and gave a wary nod before greeting expressionlessly, "Good morning..."

The three froze in shock seeing the improvement in Eli as compared to the situation they saw before. Their faces changed from amazement to gratitude then finally to relief.

In the end, as I served them tea, I summarized everything that happened in the past week that led to her development.

The atmosphere in the room became lighter as they heard my stories and like me, they looked at Eli with hope as they saw her quietly continue reading their book.

Excusing myself, as I know that the family also needed some time to interact with Eli, I went to the kitchen to prepare for the meal later on.

"You've done a great job... my dear friend..." Behind me, Kayden's voice rang, it turns out that he followed me to the kitchen for a chance to talk.

"You've really done a great job." The second time Kayden spoke these words, there was a trace of gratefulness and emotions in them.

My shoulders became tense as I slowly set the tray of tea cups on the sink. I didn't know why but my friend's words made me emotional as well.

It was as if I had been waiting for these words to be said to me a huge weight on my heart finally disappeared.

"En..." In the end, I never let out a word as I already felt my eyes warm with all the tears that were flowing in my eyes.
