"That's right... we'll soon be on our way back to Yodan.

But before then, there are some things that I wish to ask of you brother."

"_"

Sirius immediately stated his desire in signing the treaty, and Landon on the other hand and....felt like he was on top of the world!

(^_^)

"Brother... I've actually been meaning to talk to you about it too.

And now that you've brought it up, how could I dare say no?

Look!

I even prepared the treaty a while back just for you."

'Thap!"

Landon took out the treaty from his desk and placed it before Sirius.

And for a brief moment, a glint of shock passed flashed within his eyes.... before he resumed his normal calm demeanour again.

As expected, this new brother of his was always one step ahead in everything that he did.

With the treaty in Sirius' hands... Landon then went on to explain in detail each key point to both Astar and Sirius.

And just like that, they spent more than 3 hours going over it.

.

Looking at the treaty, and a wave of worry flashed through Sirius' mind.

Even if he signed the treaty, he didn't want anyone to know of it yet.

Back in Yodan, he had too many enemies at the moment.... who would no doubt take advantage of this treaty for their own personable benefits and gains.

So until he cleared up everything, then and only then did he want to make it public.

He had already set up a deadline for himself... And had promised that by the end of this year, he would clear up Yodan for good.

Now that Micheal and his family were already rescued and safe, he could finally turn all his attention to Yodan.

"Brother..... For the moment, could we keep this matter private?"

"Sure, I understand."

With that Sirius and Landon signed the treaty, while Astar signed as a witness instead.

'Ding!'

'Congratulations on successfully completing another mission host.'

Landon smiled broadly once he heard the system's voice.

Hehehehhehe... Finally, he was done!

Sirius looked at Landon's smile and almost felt like he was scammed.

Landon's smile right now was similar to thy of a con-man.

If not for the fact that he had already read the treaty word for word...Looking at Landon's smile, one would think that Baymard was the one that would benefit more from the treaty.

Indeed, this brother of his was truly passionate about world peace.

As expected of someone he called 'brother'!

.

"Ah yes... You both said that you will be leaving in 2 days' time right?"

"Yeah..... We'll be heading back this Thursday.

Rather than going on horseback, we'll first take a cruise ship to Carona, before heading over to Yodan instead.

Even though the journey will be longer like that, it will still be worth it."

"Let me guess, you both want to get the Cruise experience right?"

"Of course!

How can we miss it?"

"Yeah, brother..... There's no way that we'll miss all that good food and entertainment." Astar added excitedly.

Looking at his expression, Landon felt like he should tell the ship that they had booked...To get more food supplies on board, because Astar's belly was like a bottomless pit.

.

"So, brother Sirius... I take it you've already seen your family too?"

Sirius froze up for a bit before calming down again.

"Yes.... Yes, I have brother." He replied bitterly.

The family that they were talking about, was of course Mother Winnie, Lucy and Beri.

One should know that before he was king, all his stepmothers treated him like trash... Apart from mother Winnie, who was just in her own world all the time.

She was the only one who allowed her children to be friendly with him... The weak and trash prince of Yodan.

And so he was very used to both Beri and Lucy too.

But when that whole scandal thing happened years back, he wasn't in the Capital at the time.

And once the news had already reached him, it was too late because his father had already driven mother Winnie away for adultery... As well as disowned both Lucy and Beri too.

Honestly, he knew that his father wasn't a righteous man.

Because while his father treated the first 5 princes well, all the other princes and princesses were treated like objects instead.

And in truth, he knew that his father actually loved him.

But still, the man was a scumbag when it concerned the rest of his family.

Anyway, when his step-mother had sent people to kill mother Winnie and her children... It was he who had given them a heads up to flee Yodan quickly.

At that time, he was on a secret mission.... so he couldn't go there personally to help them.

But luckily, he had alerted them way ahead of time, and now they were safe.

So after stalking them at a distance and seeing that they did live a comfortable life here... Sirius was more than happy for them.

Of course the only person that he hadn't seen yet was Beri, who was in the attacks.

But nonetheless, he felt that Beri would also be happy here as well.

.

"So don't want to meet them before you leave?"

"No....let them be for now.

When matters are cleared up in Yodan, then I'll come to see them again.

If they want to return with me by then... For sure, I will take them back.

But the way I see it, I don't think that they would.

Father would still be around, so for ing them to live with someone who was the core root of the problems... Would never end well.

What they had gone through at the hands of my father, was something that would undoubtedly make them fall into depression if I forced them to return with me to Yodan.

Sigh...

Don't worry, I'll see them when next I come.

Thank you for looking out for them."

The men continued to talk for a bit, before finally separating from each other.

Landon gave them a photocopy of the treaty and quickly locked up the original within the system's space.

Now, he could focus on the upcoming war with Nopline.

It was already January 20th... And Landon knew that once Spring came, Nopline would send his army of ships to wage war at Baymard's Coastal region.

So it was never too early to start making plans.

With that in mind, he quickly decided that first thing tomorrow morning... he would go to the weapon manufacturing industry and create more weapons for battle.

Yes... It was time for an upgrade!

.

Meanwhile, within a secret base somewhere in Arcadina..... Several men quickly carried in a badly bruised man and dumped him on the floor without a hint of pity.

'Bam!'

The man's entire face was so swollen and red that it looked like it would burst open if one just poked a needle on it.

His entire body aches so much that it was almost numb at this point.

Very quickly, those that brought him in knelt down when they saw their master enter the room.

"Young master, we've brought in the prisoner."

"Good!

It's time to end this once and for all..... Isn't that right, friend."
