274,

Silence. After Cyclone made a confident statement, his two wives just looked at him silently. It wasn't Little Dragon, but Eileen who lowered her head and spoke.

"Husband, even though you look confident, it's no longer possible..."

Just like Little Dragon, Eileen tightened her grip out of concern.

"There's no hope now. No matter how much you act, you can't save that witch."

"Exactly. Do you know the actual situation?"

Little Dragon, who was briefly convinced earlier, returned to his serious tone.

But Cyclone didn't answer, he just blinked a few times.

"We're here not because we had news about you. Seeing you again is a miracle, like a dream, because... we all thought you were dead."

"Oh~ I know that much."

Seeing Cyclone calm and composed, Little Dragon sighed instead.

But after two seconds, he became serious again.

"You just said that you saw reality, right? Do you know what the current reality is? In fact, we are going to find that witch Yuna to help you get revenge."

"Or to ask her about your whereabouts, because... she should be the last person who saw you."

Eileen added the second part for Little Dragon, but as they listened, Cyclone burst out laughing.

"Hahaha~ In that case, revenge is unnecessary."

"Well, since you're fine, there's no need for us to find the witch. Now you should listen to me and return to Plantain Village!"

"I will go back, but I want to bring Yuna with me."

"Husband!!" (x2)

Seeing that Cyclone had no intention of changing his mind, the two wives shouted at the same time.

"You can't take her away, and you can't save her because..."

"Because of the witch hunt, right?"

Little Dragon's words were interrupted by Cyclone, with the simplest and clearest name, explaining everything Cyclone knew.

"You! You... you knew all along?"

"Yeah~ On the way here, we passed by two villages and asked the merchants about the situation."

"So you know, this witch hunt..."

"Daniel is in this village too, right?"

Cyclone countered with a question, and suddenly, the two wives fell silent.

The two of them, staring at Cyclone, didn't look away.

"I know the current situation, and I understand how dangerous it is now, but I still want to go!"

To Cyclone's determination, the two still didn't answer, they just looked at him.

Contrary to that, this time Cyclone sighed.

"I'll tell you my plan later, but for now, both of you answer me, where is Daniel?"

"I... I won't say..."

Little Dragon firmly opposed.

"At the village chief's house, I think..."

"Eileen!!"

But Eileen answered Cyclone, which surprised Little Dragon.

"Husband... Eileen told you, but can you promise Eileen one thing?

Cyclone has always been obedient to Eileen. Even though it's the same this time, there is a hint of seriousness.

"Tell me."

"You can't die!"

"..."

"Eileen really... really thought that her husband was dead... really..."

Tears streamed down her face, and Eileen's eyes were hidden behind the tears.

"So... so..."

Without waiting for Eileen to continue, Cyclone understood. There was no need for Eileen to say more, Cyclone knew what to do.

With his own hand, he reached out to Eileen's cheek and gently comforted her.

"I won't die, it's different this time. Your husband is filled with confidence~"

"Even so, I oppose it!"

Just as things were starting to calm down, Little Dragon appeared again.

"King Allen, do you know that this is King Allen's order?"

"Yes."

"This witch hunt is King Allen's final vengeance against the demons. Do you understand that?"

"Yes."

"..."

Little Dragon turned his head away. At this moment, Little Dragon didn't want to see Cyclone.
