Unlike the last time, because they were only moving in a straight line, it only took less than a day for Leo and the others to finally arrive at Heart city.

At this moment, Levi and Vox were already with them since Leo had told them to meet up at Hundred Hills. Both of the little ones had used their sense of smell to trace Leo's location.

"Young Master!" Butler Xiao greeted Leo the moment he entered the manor.

"Butler Xiao, why didn't I saw you and the others back then when I arrived in Heart city?" Leo can't help asking.

"I was coping up with work the entire week in the City Hall, managing everything that the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance needed for this ongoing war. Headguard Kevin was extremely busy with the preparation to defend the Heart city while everyone else was busy away to fight against the Black organization at the Southern Fortress. Fatty Ben was busy gathering the supply for logistics and gathering important information. And lastly, Van was busy managing the financial status of Heart city after the treasury was nearly emptied out by your Master Olivia in order to upgrade and build new infrastructures for defense, expand land, and to quicken the development of the Heart city in terms of business, industrial, agriculture, and military."

"Oh," Leo nodded in understanding before quickly changing to the main topic, "Pass a message to everyone, I need them gathered here in 10 minutes."

"What for Young Master Leo?" Butler Xiao curiously asked.

"I need everyone's help to infiltrate the Silver city!"

"With only you and them?" Butler Xiao turned to look at the others.

"It's a long story."

"Okay!" Butler Xiao didn't bother asking anymore as he quickly left the manor to gather Headguard Kevin, Fatty Ben, and Van.

Seeing Butler Xiao leave, Leo then turned to look at everyone, "You guys can begin with the plan I've told you about, while the rest of us will be leaving the moment I finish with everything here." He then looked at Elizabeth's direction and said, "Elizabeth, I need you to pass a message to the Snow Noble Household, requesting for help to save Veronica."

Everyone nodded their heads before making their way out of the manor, leaving only Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Ash, and Charlotte, Ethan, and Princess Elaine with Leo.

Leo walked towards a cage with a Mail Bird inside, opened the cage, and pass the Mail Bird to Elizabeth, "Use this Mail Bird to pass the message."

Elizabeth nodded her head before quickly writing a message about Leo's plan and then taking out an item with her father's smell.

The Mail Bird then sniffed the item before flying off to look for Vincent Snow with the letter attached on its feet.

Unbeknownst to almost everyone not part of the Snow Noble Household, excluding everyone here, Elizabeth's father, Vincent Snow, actually didn't go away towards the Ice Mountain. He had indeed traveled towards the Ice Tundra, but then he made a secret U-turn to go back to Silver Kingdom. Right this moment, he is currently hiding himself in the Nine River Forest along with the 50 Flyingboats and those people that were mentioned before to have left the Snow city, waiting for the perfect opportunity for him to appear.

Leo had just found out about this information when they were traveling to Heart city.

From the very beginning of this war, there was actually no such plan from the Snow Noble Household about leaving the Silver Kingdom or whatsoever. All of it was only a plot to confuse everybody else's.

Revealing the information of the Snow Noble Household being a part of the Snow Clan was just an excuse to gather the Honoris Noble Household and Skull Noble Household in the Snow city without raising any suspicion from the spies of the Silver royal family and the Black organization. Although they indeed were members of the Snow Clan, Vincent Snow has actually long cut off their relationship in the past decades or so, therefore there is absolutely no way for him to return to them anymore, even if he wanted to. Rather, the actual plan was to take over the Silver Kingdom in order to establish a new ruler.

However, the moment they saw that the Mischievous Lion organization was the one that stands the best chance to take over the Silver Kingdom, not to mention they are also a good choice to become the new rulers, the Snow Noble Household along with Honoris Noble Household and Skull Noble Household quickly changed their plan to help them instead. That's why they let Elizabeth and Veronica stay in Heart city without them worrying about anything. Simply put, they have already decided to help the Mischievous Lion organization from the very beginning of this war.

As members of the Five Major Noble Households, they of course long already knew about the unfortunate state of the Silver Kingdom under the kingship of the Silver royal family. The Silver Kingdom was so poor, so disorganized, so weak, and the power struggle was a lot worse than what Princess Elaine had imagined it to be. It was still a battle between City Rulers against Noble Households, but it includes both the weak and the strong, and along with their dozens of branches. What's, even more, worst is, it is getting bigger and bigger as the days go by. All of those battles though was happening in the dark of the Silver Kingdom. In their opinions, even without the appearance of the Mischievous Lion organization, it wouldn't have taken that long for a civil war to start in Silver Kingdom. That's why they wanted to replace the Silver royal family.

In the start, it was only them, the Five Major Noble Households, that wanted to replace the Silver royal family's rule in Silver Kingdom. But the moment they discovered that the Williams Noble Household were actually members of the Black organization, they quickly abandoned all those plans they have thought about before because obviously, the Black organization would already have many ways to counter it or worst even use it to their advantage. And during the discussion of the new plan, the Mischievous Lion organization coincidentally decided to reveal themselves.

The Mischievous Lion organization wasn't any foreign organization for all of them. They knew that they were the secret protectors hiding in the dark of the Southern region of Silver Kingdom and that all these times the missions they have completed were all related to the peace of the Silver Kingdom. That's why, without any hesitation, the Snow Noble Household, Honoris Noble Household, and Skull Noble Household all decided to help them.

The moment Leo heard about this information from Elizabeth, the more reason he has to why he needed to save Veronica and Princess Tiana.

10 minutes or so later, Butler Xiao returned with Headguard, Kevin, Fatty Ben, and Van following behind him.

"Young Master Leo!" Headguard Kevin, Fatty Ben, and Van quickly greeted in unison.

"Come, sit!" Leo nodded his head before he motioned his hand for them to sit on the chairs in front of him.

Leo only sat on his chair when everyone was already sited as he then began speaking, "I'm assuming that Butler Xiao has already let you all know what's the agenda for this meeting, right?"

"Yes, Young Master Leo. But I'm really curious. Why did you return first? Where's the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance's army? Are they perhaps still resting after winning the battle?" Headguard, Kevin asked.

"I will not be hiding anything from all of you here. The real reason why I returned first was because Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and Elder Rain wanted me to just stay on the sideline and just command the army without personally joining the battle on the battlefield." Leo didn't bother hiding the truth from them. It wasn't really a secret anyway, as they would eventually know about it the moment the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance arrived in Heart city. And rather than causing them to worry about after finding the truth from the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance, it's much better for him to personally reveal it to them instead.

"Why is that, Young Master Leo?" Fatty Ben quickly followed another question.

"Because they are afraid that I might do something stupid. The mission I'm going to do is to rescue Veronica and Princess Tiana, at least the former should be successfully rescued. All of you here should know already that Veronica is recognized by almost everyone as one of my women, and that is indeed the truth, I will not argue with that. And it's exactly because she's my woman that's why they assumed that I might do something stupid, though being my woman is also part of the reason why I'm going to rescue her." Leo explained, "But everyone already knows the fact that I treasure my life above all else, so if the situation would really threaten my life, I will definitely escape without a second thought. So, there is no need to worry about my life. What we need to worry about is Veronica, not just because she's my woman, but also because her safety will decide whether the Snow Noble Household will help the Silver royal family or not. If we can't save her, then the current status of war might go against our favor."

"I'm not really that experienced about war, but I can understand what you wanted to say." Van nodded his head before he formed a knowing smile on his face as he turned to look at the others.

"Our Young Master is finally thinking of having a woman, and base on my observation, he will most likely have more than one. So, we, as your loyal subordinates, will definitely help you save the beauty from the hands of the ugly ogre, right?" Butler Xiao said as he turned to look at the other. He was smart enough to quickly understand what Van wanted to say.

"HAHAHAHAHA, of course, we will! I've long been waiting for this in my entire life! Our Young Master Leo is finally thinking of having a girlfriend, or perhaps at best, a wife!" Headguard Kevin laughed.

"If only Young Master Reinhart was here, he would definitely be delighted knowing about this!" Fatty Ben added.

"Then what do you need us to do, Young Master Leo?" Van turned to look at Leo.

At this moment, Leo doesn't know whether he should laugh or not after they misunderstood his words. Or was it really a misunderstanding?

To be honest, he actually doesn't consider Veronica as one of his women yet. He was only using the excuse 'She's my woman' to make them agree. Until now, their relationship is still very complicated.

In the past, he had accepted a mission, or rather was forced to accept the mission from the Honoris Noble Household about him protecting Veronica. At that time, her behavior around him was kinda weird, or more appropriately, she seems like she's hiding something from him. There were times when he occasionally sees her taking a secret glimpse at him before giggling with a blushing face and many more such kind of things.

Fast forward to this present moment, he's no longer part of the Silver Mage Academy, which means that the mission he had accepted in the past has nothing to do with him anymore. However, even with that, Veronica still decided to stay with him, which was so confusing for him because she could actually return back to the Honoris Noble Household already, so why would she still want to stay with him, right?

Other than Veronica wanting to be his woman, he doesn't know what other reason there is. Or is it perhaps because he likes her that's why he's thinking of this reason?

Anyways, Butler Xiao and the others have already agreed to help, so there is no need to bother further with that topic.
