Time rolled back several days.

After Cyclone learned about the leader's plan, the situation started to become strange.

Yuna pointed out that recently, there had been a group of assassins deliberately hiding their magical abilities on the outskirts of their home.

As a former professional assassin, Yuna quickly identified these outsiders and turned the tables on them to ascertain their true intentions.

To her surprise, the answer came easily.

Anyone could leave the house except for Elyse. Whenever she wanted to go out, the assassins would become active.

The obvious reaction made Yuna sigh.

If her sister Elyse were here, she would definitely punish these novice mistakes with love.

Now that they knew the intruders' motives, it was time to discuss a strategy.

And so, the Theodore family's home meeting commenced once again.

"We are lagging behind," Cyclone admitted.

That was the biggest issue at the moment.

In order to hide Elyse before the arrival of the King of Dusk, Cyclone and the others were meticulously planning.

This operation required discreetly transporting Elyse to their master's old location.

However, with the assassins already monitoring them, taking Elyse out casually would instantly render hiding her meaningless.

Even if they cleaned up the messy master's house, there was still an unresolved issue.

Firstly, to remain completely hidden, after reaching their destination, both Yuna and Elyse would need to minimize their public appearances as much as possible, meaning they would try to avoid going outside.

To achieve this, Yuna needed to stockpile a large amount of food and everyday items beforehand.

Yuna's cooking skills were average, so the choice of ingredients didn't need to be too complicated.

Preparing these items didn't take long, so they quickly gathered everything needed.

However, currently, both the food and everyday items were stored in Eileen's storeroom.

"We can't transport these foods conspicuously; otherwise, they will be discovered," Cyclone expressed concern.

"How about carrying them over bit by bit?" Cyclone suggested.

Yuna shook her head.

"There's just too much. It would take dozens of trips, and time is running out."

"How much did you prepare...?" Cyclone asked feeling exasperated.

Yuna crossed her arms confidently, "These things are all essential!"

Cyclone was taken aback by Yuna's unwavering stance.

"We need items necessary for hiding!" Cyclone shouted, but Yuna retorted calmly.

"If you're not here, should I ask someone else to help?"

In that moment, Cyclone was speechless.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Yuna and the other wives, it was clear he had spoiled Yuna.

"Fine, fine! You win!" Cyclone surrendered.

"Find a way to bring everything over, all of it!" he said.

"I still want to bring more!" Yuna retorted.

"Now is not the time to discuss this!" Cyclone wiped his forehead and Yuna stood her ground.

"We need these items!" Yuna insisted.

Unable to come up with a rebuttal, Cyclone gave in.

"Alright, figure out a way to bring everything over then, okay?!"

"Hmph, I still want to bring more!" Yuna grumbled.

"Now is not the time for this!" Cyclone sighed.

Frustrated with their banter, Little Dragon finally spoke up.

"Let's focus on the key issue first!"

"How about we hear what Eileen has to say?" she suggested.

"I...,"

Finally, all eyes turned towards Elyse.

"I have no opinion," Elyse said quietly before heading back to her room alone.

As Elyse left, the family meeting came to an end.

Watching Elyse's retreating figure, Cyclone began to contemplate deeply.
