Emily’s face brightened at the thought of seeing her father again.

Ronan, knowing the thoughts running through the little girl’s head, only smiled and looked at the Merchant, who was now sweating buckets after seeing Ronan.

Everyone in the Haca Dynasty knew of him, and the way the pretty girl was interacting with him was enough to tell the Merchant that their relationship was very close.

“My Lady, you said you wanted to buy this for 100 Gold Coins right?” the Merchant asked as he anxiously rubbed his palms together. “Today is a good day, so I will sell it to you for 100 Gold Coins.”

“Really?” Emily smiled like a blooming flower. She thought that her bargaining skills had allowed her to save hundreds of gold coins, which made her very happy.

“Yes. Please, take it for 100 Gold Coins.”

“Thank you. Here is the payment.”

After paying for the necklace, the Merchant placed it inside an ornate box before respectfully passing it to Emily.

There was no way that he could offend the Commander of the Haca Dynasty, so even if he had to suffer a loss, he would compromise for the sake of his future.

“Uncle, I’m good at bargaining, right?” Emily looked at Ronan with a very proud look on her face.

“Indeed,” Ronan patted the pretty girl’s head with a smile. “I’m sure that after a few years, you will become better at bargaining. Do you plan to buy anything else here? Or are you planning to go home now?”

Emily pondered for a bit before shaking her head.

“I’ve already bought a few things, Uncle Ronan,” Emily replied. “I want to go back home and see Father.”

“Emily, your Father is still on the battlefield.” Ronan lied. “He was worried about you girls, so he asked me to pass a message to your mother. That is the reason why I am here.”

“I see…” Emily looked disappointed, but she understood that her father had a lot of responsibilities to do.

Perhaps among her sisters, she was the one who idolized their father the most, and this was why she was really looking forward to his return.

“Since you’re going home, allow me to accompany you,” Ronan said as he offered his hand to Emily.

“Thank you, Uncle,” Emily replied as she offered her hand to her father’s right-hand man who had always treated her and her family very well.

Ronan escorted Emily to his carriage before ordering the coachman to head towards the Ousborne Residence.

A few minutes after they left the Marketplace, Draven and his Shadow Warriors arrived and scouted the area. Lux had given them a very important mission, and they needed to find Emily as soon as possible.

They had no idea that the one they were looking for was being accompanied by the most dangerous person on their list.

Ousborne Mansion…

“Is there still no news?” Sarah asked Lux, who was seated on the couch and calmly drinking a cup of tea.

“My subordinates have nearly scouted the entire Marketplace, and they still can’t find Emily,” Lux replied. “Are there other places that she might have gone to?”

Sarah shook her head. Her second daughter always liked to explore the city, while being accompanied by her personal guards.

Since she always had guards with her, Sarah had given her daughter permission to leave the house anytime she wanted.

Alexa and Leah were also in the room and waiting patiently for the arrival of their sister. Their mother had insisted that all of them stay together so that they could leave anytime.

While Lux and Sarah were feeling a bit anxious about Emily’s whereabouts, they heard the sound of running footsteps in the hallway.

“My Lady, Miss Emily has returned,” Marie reported.

However, before Lux and Sarah could breathe a sigh of relief, the Maid’s next words made their bodies stiffen.

“She is not alone,” Marie continued her report. “Commander Ronan escorted her back.”

Lux and Sarah exchanged a glance, and both of their faces didn’t look good.

“Alexa, take Leah to your room,” Sarah ordered. “I will meet with Commander Ronan first.”

Alexa nodded her head and hastily took Leah out of the room. As per Lux’s orders, Eiko accompanied the two girls, while he remained with Sarah.

“Go hide in the closet and erase your presence,” Sarah said. “I will try to send Ronan away as soon as possible.”

“Be careful,” Lux replied before going to the closet to hide.

As soon as the closet door closed, Sarah waved her hand and removed all traces of smell in the room. She had also hidden the teacups and snacks that were on the table.

Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door, which informed her that Ronan had arrived.

“Come in,” Sarah stated in a crisp and formal tone.

The door opened and the Vanguard Commander of the Haca Dynasty walked in as if he owned the place.

“It has been a while since I saw you, Sarah,” Ronan said. “You’re still as beautiful as always.”

“And you still like to flatter me as usual,” Sarah replied with a smile. Her gaze then landed on her daughter, who was holding hands with Ronan, which made her stomach churn on the inside. “Emily, your Uncle and I will talk for a while. Why don’t you go to Alexa’s room for a while? Leah is with her right now.”

“Okay,” Emily nodded. “Uncle, I’ll see you later.”

“Okay.” Ronan grinned as he let go of the pretty girl’s hand. “Play nice with your sisters.”

As soon as Emily left the room, Ronan locked the door before walking towards Sarah, who was doing her best to keep herself calm.

“Ronan, what are you doing here?” Sarah asked. “Where is my husband?”

Instead of answering her, Ronan continued to walk towards her until their bodies were only a foot apart.

“Sarah, do you know? I’ve always loved you,” Ronan replied. “Ever since the moment I laid my eyes on you, you’ve always been in my mind. Garret didn’t deserve you. You should have married me instead of him.”

“R-Ronan, what are you talking about?” Sarah backed away, sensing that Ronan was starting to lose control of his emotions. “S-Stay back!”

“Stay back?” Ronan chuckled as his gaze landed on Sarah’s voluptuous body. “I’ve been holding back for years. You don’t understand how painful it was to watch as you and Garret walk hand in hand together.

“You don’t understand how much it drives me crazy every time I think that he has you in his embrace at night. The mere thought of him touching you is enough to make me want to kill people! No. Sarah, I will not stay back. Today, I will make you mine!”

Sarah summoned her sword and immediately slashed the crazed man who no longer cared about past friendships and simply wanted to make her his conquest.

Ronan grabbed the blade of the sword with his hand before forcefully tearing it out of Sarah’s grip.

The Commander of the Vanguard was a High-Ranker, so he was several times stronger than the beautiful woman of his dreams. Sarah knew this as well and understood that she was at a great disadvantage.

Ronan understood that Sarah had decided to fight him to the bitter end, but he had already anticipated this scenario and made preparations.

Activating the ring on his finger, Ronan’s speed suddenly increased as he moved behind Sarah to deliver a chop to the back of her neck.

The blow was enough to make the beautiful woman lose consciousness, but Ronan caught her before her body could even fall to the ground.

“Finally, you’re mine, Sarah.” Ronan kissed Sarah’s neck and greedily inhaled her scent. His right hand then moved to tear apart her dress, baring her breasts, which intensified the lust that was burning in his heart.

Knowing that the beautiful woman wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon, Ronan carried her to the bed, so that she could fully see her naked beauty.

The anticipation of corrupting another’s wife by taking her without her consent made the horrible man’s member become rock-hard.

“Don’t worry, I promise to take good care of you and your daughters,” Ronan said as he took off his own clothes. “I will make all of you my women. Alexa has already come of age and has grown as beautiful as you. I will make her my concubine and make you my main wife. That way, all of us can stay as a family.”

After taking off all of his clothes, Ronan was very keen to start his conquest and mark Sarah with his colors.

(E/N: I want to cut off this bastard’s d*ck so bad. Yours is next if you don’t end this well.)

(A/N: Kekeke.)

Garret’s best friend then spread Sarah’s legs apart, about to start with the deed, but before he could even take action, a hand rested on his shoulder, stopping him in his tracks.

“You fools can just have fun with the maids!” Ronan growled in anger as he shrugged off the hand that was holding onto his shoulder. “We already discussed this. I take Sarah and her daughters, while you bastards have fun with the servants!”

Ronan turned around to glare hatefully at the person that was trying to get in his way.

However, instead of seeing a person, what he saw was a large fist that was only inches away from his face.

A second later, the High-Ranker’s body smashed against the wall, destroying it completely.

The force of the punch was so strong that it sent Ronan smashing through every wall in the Ousborne Residence.

Before Ronan could even regain his balance, he received another punch in his face, sending him flying out of the Noble District, and crashing into the Commoner’s District.

“Should I finish him?” Barca asked as he looked at the Half-Elf who had covered Sarah’s naked body with a blanket.

“No,” Lux replied. “We are in the Capital City of the Haca Dynasty. Let’s leave before their reinforcements arrive.”

The Half-Elf then carried the unconscious Sarah and ran toward Alexa’s room in order to start their evacuation plan.

Now that he had secured Great General Garret’s family members, all he needed to do was leave the Haca Dynasty as soon as possible and take them all to safety.
