"So, the thing you want to ask for my help with, is it dealing with this \'Elite\' Juryong or something else?"

Kazzandra has already recovered her cool and seriously answered.

Shaking her head, she said, "No, the thing that I want to ask from you is actually something that you\'ll also probably do without me asking you."

"Oh? And what could that be?"

"All I ask from you, Mr. Nathan, is to protect Saint Natalie and if possible, Princess Margaux as well."

Hearing her request, Nathan raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that really all that you want to ask of me?"

Without hesitation, Kazzandra replied, "Yes?"

Then she bowed down and strongly said, "Please protect them!"

Nathan stared at Kazzandra for a while, seemingly thinking of something.

Finally, after a few seconds, he said, "Okay, you can rely on me for that."

Then he added, "Also, if you guys need something. Don\'t hesitate to come to me."

"Anyway, time for me to go back."

Saying that, Nathan turned around and started walking back to the hall.

Kazzandra was left there on the balcony, alone.

Looking at Nathan\'s fading back, she whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Nathan."

…

Nathan went back to the party like nothing happened.

He chatted with Natalie and Margaux while at the same time, some nobles approached him.

Nathan chatted with them casually, not really keen on getting close with any of them.

But even so, Nathan remained polite and had a light smile on his face the whole time.

While he was conversing with the nobles, Nathan was still observing his surroundings attentively.

Because of that, Nathan noticed something.

For some reason, the King, Alexander, has been missing in the party after his speech at the beginning.

\'I guess there\'s some things that he needs to personally handle, huh.\'

Nathan thought.

Thinking back to his conversation with Kazzandra earlier, Nathan concluded that it might be related to that.

Turning his eyes to the two beautiful pairs that have become the center of the party, a smile unconsciously crept up his face.

\'It looks like Natalie is enjoying her time here.\'

Nathan can\'t help being happy seeing such an active Natalie.

Not long ago, their life was still covered in poverty and hardships.

Because of that, even though she didn\'t become introverted, Natalie still acted \'mature\' and didn\'t socialize much.

Now seeing her like this, Nathan can\'t help but feel that their life has really turned for the better.

\'It hasn\'t been that long but drastic changes have already happened in our family…\' he thought.

And all of this is because of the system.

Nathan is truly thankful for the system even though its existence itself still remains as a mystery to him.

Because of that, Nathan hopes that he can understand someday.

For now, all Nathan wants is to protect what he has today.

\'And to do that, I have to become strong. Stronger than anyone else.\'

Nathan clenched his fist and strengthened his resolution.

Time flies and soon it\'s time for them to go back home.

The party ended smoothly and nothing unexpected happened.

Nathan and Natalie said their goodbye to the other guests and to Margaux who stayed with Natalie the whole time.

Sitting inside the carriage, Natalie slumped on her seat and let out a tired sigh.

"Sigh… that was really tiring."

Hearing her complaint, Nathan smiled and said, "But it seems like you were enjoying yourself earlier though."

Natalie sat up straight and looked at him with serious eyes.

"What do you mean by enjoying?! I was stressed out the whole time!

"Talking with those nobles while paying attention to etiquette was suuuuuper exhausting!"

Natalie said.

"If that\'s the case let\'s hurry up and get back home."

"Oum."

Natalie nodded her head before slumping her body back on her seat.

It was silent the whole ride as the both of them were tired.

Nathan expected that the \'enemies\' would send assassins or something after Natalie but they peacefully managed to get back home without disturbance.

The distance from the party\'s venue to Natalie\'s manor wasn\'t that long, that\'s why they arrived home in less than 15 minutes.

After the carriage stopped, the door suddenly opened and the figure of Dominic standing there could be seen.

"My Lady, My Lord, welcome back." He said while bowing a little.

Nathan and Natalie stepped out of the carriage and thanked Dominic.

"Thank you, Dominic."

Natalie then said to Nathan, "Let\'s head inside. I want to go back home now and get some sleep."

Heading inside the manor, Nathan and Natalie chatted about some trivial stuff while Dominic was leading the way.

When they stepped into the manor, Natalie said, "You don\'t have to accompany us, Dominic, I know you still have a lot of things you have to do."

"Yes, My Lady."

Dismissed, Dominic left after bowing at the two.

With just the two of them, Nathan and Natalie went into Natalie\'s room.

They stood right in front of the same mirror that they came out of.

Without saying a word, Natalie created a portal in the mirror and jumped in without hesitation.

Following her, Nathan also passed through the portal and appeared inside Natalie\'s room in the \'real\' world.

When he arrived, Natalie was already laying on her bed with a tired look on her face.

"Sigh, we\'re finally home~."

Nathan smiled and said, "Well, get some rest, I\'ll head back to my room now."

When he was about to stepped out of the door, he turned his head back to Natalie and reminded,

"Make sure to not sleep in that dress. You should wash your body before you go to sleep, alright?"

"Haa~ Don\'t worry, brother, I will." Replied Natalie as she got up from the bed lazily.

Hearing a positive reply, Nathan smiled and left her room.

After leaving her room, Nathan directly went to the bathroom to wash up before going to bed.

Staring at the ceiling, he sighed and murmured, "What a tiring day indeed."

He closed his eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.
