In the side room of the village chief's house, the candlelight flickered, casting shadows on the serious faces of Leon and Alex.
Leon was dressed in simple cloth garments, yet his straightened posture and deep-set eyes hinted at the dignity of his noble lineage.
Alex stood beside him, unfurling a yellowed map that detailed the kingdom's mountains, towns, and the intricate distribution of power among various factions.
"My lord, we must return to the capital as soon as possible. Family matters have piled up for too long, and those who harbor ill intentions toward you are likely stirring in the shadows," Alex's voice was low and urgent, breaking the silence in the room.
Leon nodded slightly, his gaze moving slowly across the map until it settled on the location of the capital. "I understand, Alex. But this time we cannot act recklessly as we did before." A hint of determination shone in his eyes, suggesting careful consideration.
In preparation for their return, Leon and Alex began to work diligently. They first mapped out their family's connections, identifying reliable allies and potential threats, meticulously recording each detail. Leon knew that in this world of intrigue and conflict among nobles, every step had to be taken with caution.
"My lord, here is a list of family confidants we can reach out to in the near future," Alex said as he handed over a piece of parchment covered in names and addresses. Leon took the list and examined it closely, occasionally asking Alex about the current status of these individuals.
"Very well. We need to contact them quickly to let them know I am still alive and that I will be returning soon," Leon stated, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
As they prepared, Leon often found his thoughts drifting back to his time with Alice and Oliver. Those simple yet joyful moments had given him new perspectives on the future. He no longer fought solely for his family's honor and power; he also wished to create a better future for himself, for Alice, and for Oliver.
"Alex, if we can successfully resolve our family issues this time, I want to do something for this village," Leon suddenly said, his eyes filled with warmth.
Alex paused momentarily before understanding Leon's intent. "My lord, are you saying…"
"Yes. The people of this village saved me; they gave me warmth and peace like I have never known before. I cannot leave without giving something back," Leon's tone was resolute, as if he had already made up his mind.
As preparations for his return progressed, Leon began to devise a plan to help Maple Leaf Village. He intended to bring back some advanced farming tools and Medical Texts from the capital, hoping to improve the villagers' lives.
On the other side of the village, Alice and Oliver quietly observed Leon's every move. They saw Leon and Alex busying themselves day in and day out. Although doubts and unease lingered in their hearts, they understood the reality of Leon's impending departure.
"Alice, do you think we can live like we used to after Leon leaves?" Oliver asked softly, watching the busy Leon.
Alice sighed lightly. "I don't know, Oliver. But no matter what, we have to keep living well." A hint of determination shone in her eyes, even though she felt reluctant about Leon's departure.
Leon also noticed Alice and Oliver's gaze. He understood that his leaving would be a significant blow to them. However, he believed that as long as he could successfully resolve his family's issues, he would surely return and provide them with an explanation.
In the days that followed, Leon and Alex continued to meticulously prepare for their return. They devised a detailed itinerary, stocked up on ample supplies, and arranged for reliable guards.
Every detail was carefully considered.
