�Lily, When I was the Knight Captain of a small territory, there was one important thing I learned.�

�Master, what was it?�

�The door needs to be sturdy.�

�The door?�

�Yes, the door. If a sturdy door protects the entrance of the territory so that nobody can be tempted to take it, the people inside will have no fear.�

��So I should become a knight that is like that door?�

�Yes. You must become a door that is even sturdier than the castle wall.�

Lily shared that with her oldest brother.

�I will become a knight that is like a door!�

Cale flinched while wondering what she was talking about but nodded his head while thinking that a young child should have a vivid imagination.

�Alright, work hard. Just don�t try to rush anything.�

�Yes sir!�

Cale watched as Lily headed back to train with excitement on her face before opening the door to the study. The smile on his face quickly disappeared.

�Freesia, long time no see.�

The assassin who is pretending to be a sculptor. The woman who had sculpted the devil-like rabbit bowed her head at Cale�s greeting.

Cale picked up the cup of tea Ron offered him as soon as he sat down on his chair.

�Freesia.�

�Yes sir.�

�Did you say you are from the Southwest district?�

You needed to cross the border from the Roan Kingdom�s Southwest district in order to get into the Empire.

The crown prince was planning on teleporting to the Southwest district and then crossing the border with the envoy.

�Yes sir. I am from the Southwest.�

The territory that was at the southwest border.
