Chapter 270 - The Second Home
On the other hand, when Desmond saw the old man, he was speechless. Although the old man keeps smiling innocently, he could see the people around him have a hard time bearing the pressure.
Desmond opened his mouth, yet no sound was out. He then began to inspect the old man and fell in thought for a moment before finally reaching a conclusion, "Are you perhaps the person sent by my parents?"
Desmond was guessing, although his parent did not say anything about this, judging from the old man tone and his subordinates plus the look in the coachman's eyes, there was a slim chance that was true.
Maybe they were hidden power formed by father and mother when they escaped from the beast's territory? Desmond thought. His guess was mainly based on that situation.
As soon the old man heard Desmond's words, his expression lited up, and the smile on his face got broader," Yes, yes, young master, but," The old man's eyes scanned the surroundings and then fell silent.
When Desmond saw his attitude, he was both shocked and astonished. Although the old man and his group were still suspicious nevertheless, the look in his eyes was familiar to him.
The way he acts and gestures is the same as my maids in the house...
Not wasting any more time, Desmond turned around and faced Vesta," Thank you for your help all of this time, Sir Vesta. I did not expect my parent sent their subordinates to picked me up.
"If there is nothing else, I'll take my leave." Desmond turned around and gestured his maids to follow him to the carriage without waiting for his reply.
The old man immediately reacted and opened the carriage door before also entered.
Desmond's decision and the old man's action were too fast in the eyes of the soldiers. However, it was nothing in front of Vesta. Yet, he stood blankly and, being dazed upon seeing the newcomer, had been getting away.
The soldiers around just came back to sense and now stared at Vesta in confusion.
Should we stop them?
But how? Did they say they pickup up the boy, and was the boy subordinates?
Many eyes landed on Vesta, which made them realized the situation," That brat." He sighed and then disperse the reaming soldiers back to their duties.
He just did not expect Desmond and his family had many hidden experts on this city. But after he thought back, it did make sense. After all difference between this city and the capital in the margin of security and prosperity was huge.
...
At the same time, inside the carriage. Laura and Annie were seen, standing behind their young master tensely. Their eyes locked on the old man standing opposite of their young master, even though there was a chair in front of him.
"Tell me your background, name, and the operation on this city," Desmond asked and hit the point. From the time he entered, he already believed they were really his subordinates.
It seems his parent really had free time to recruit other powerful people in a different city when they comfortably leaving him alone in the capital city.
Desmond's face already darkened, even though he had a mentality of an adult being trapped inside a child's body.
From common sense, the children at his age most needed attention from their parents for their future development.
However, this could be counted as a blessing in disguise. If his parent has stayed at home when he searching for the material, there will be no dragon blood on his body. Probably, the chance of his survivability on the journey decreased significantly.
He may have died at the attack of those assassins on the valley. Eventually, he could not complain and just sighed inwardly.
On the other hand, the old man was shocked. Although he often heard his young master was rumored genius and too mature at his age, still without seeing with his eyes, he rather believe it just exaggerating.
He was dazed for a moment and needed to compose the situation before finally calming himself down. However, the look in his eyes changed into admiration when he saw Desmond.
"Masters told us to protect the young lady from the harm of the Aristocratic Technocracy Organization and personally order me to receive young master from the journey.
"However, because the power of Aristocratic Technocracy Organization was too high, we managed to recruit several swordsmen to our side. They had been introspected and being loyal toward the family."
The old man paused for a moment to take a light breath and glanced and his young master's expression before continued," As for the future plan, the master said it will be managed by you, young master."
After the old man spoke those words, there was a tone of pride inside it, as if he already accepted Desmond's presence after seeing his attitude.
On the other hand, Desmond was caught off guard. His parent handed him the operation in the city, even though he was just a child. Maybe because his mother was over proud of him and trusted him too much?
That was what he thought at first, however remembering their expression, there is no way his mom would allow him to carry a dangerous task, which means...
"When did my parent recruit all of you?"
The old man replied in a puzzle," I don't exactly remember the date. However, it was when the in the period of the beasts attack, I think?"
"Why would you believe my parent even though you have many men to overthrow them?" At this point, Desmond narrowed his eyes and observing all of the change in the old man's expression.
But unexpectedly, the old man looked in disbelief, and his reply astonished Desmond," Why would I? my daughter was saved by your parent, and now she was in the academy, protecting the young lady."

....
"What..." Desmond leaned his body on the chair while pressing his forehead. He really did not expect that answer. However, there was a trace of joy in his eyes.
This means my parent seems to have predicted that there will be a problem in this kingdom two or five years later.
The old man did not have an ulterior motive; his parent did not judge his capability by his current age, which means they think I have power after I graduate from the academy.
They believed in me and treated me as a genius. In addition, the problem already rising one by one, especially that he almost gets assassinated by the empire.
So the outcome is, when I grew up, I should take care of myself and my sister while my parents doing other works in the capital city.
What exactly is the purpose of his parents of recruiting many people and hide them?
Protecting his family from the empire? At first, he thought that, but looking at many 2nd swordsmen as his bodyguard right now, it seems it is not the case.
Preparing for future war between kingdoms? Although there was a chance, it would happen, yet they were still in the cold war right now.
"What if their first plan was to solely protect the family? However, something must have happened that changed the entire plan." Desmond murmured to himself.
He began sorting the recent events on the kingdom, from where the evil organization had an eye on him to the situation where he lost his right hand when the beast's attack began.
Remembering the loss of his hand, really painful. He thought, what if he did not have the dragon blood and his parent or he could not find any Master Wizard or Witch?
He would be a disabled person right now! Just thinking of this possibility making him shiver.
Wait... beast attack?
So they scared about the so-called Sky-Hunter, maybe?
While Desmond was in a daze, the carriage already passed the Military District and arrived at the Guild District.
Laura and Annie that were standing behind him, had been relaxed a bit upon seeing the old man was one of them.
At the same time, they saw that a huge castle was placed on the end with a vast courtyard and small fountain decorating the place.
