âCould it be that⦠you like our master?â added Lucy as she cupped her mouth while laughing.
âQuit spouting nonsense, Lucy⦠I⦠I donât have any other relatives to speak of! However, I will admit that I felt a sense of security the first time I laid eyes on master⦠It was the reason why I chose to stay.
Also, regarding the liking part, how could someone like me ever be qualified to fall for someone like master?!â replied Yukie as she blushed.
âSpeaking of which, Lucy⦠I distinctly remembered that you wanted to return to your hometown even more than I did! Why didnât you leave back then?â added Yukie.
âWell, I simply felt that master was a good person who wouldnât abuse us like our previous onesâ¦
Adding that to the fact that he respected us so much, I just felt obligated to stay and work for him! I do have a second reason for staying, however⦠Remember Tyson? He told me that he would come pick me up in a little under a month back then! I didnât want him to have to hunt around for me so I simply stayed put here! That way, he would be able to pick me up easily when the time came! However, since he isnât here yet, Iâm assuming that heâs still undergoing his mission to save his brother. Once heâs done that, he told me that heâd take me away before finally marrying me!â explained Lucy with a smile on her face.
âI see⦠Still, do you truly believe everything that he said? I mean yes, Tyson did save us beforeâ¦
However, Iâll be frank and say that I donât think heâll actually come over to take you away! Have you prepared yourself for that possibilityâ¦?â said Yukie as she attempted to lower Lucyâs expectations so that she wouldnât end up getting too hurt if Tyson never came.
âDonât worry, I get where youâre coming from⦠However, Iâve chosen to have faith in Tyson. Heâll definitely come looking for me once he saves his brother! After all, weâve already gotten engaged! Be it within this month, a year, or a lifetime, Iâll still be waiting patiently for him!â declared Lucy as she cupped her blushing cheeks.
âAlright then! Still, itâs pretty rare to see you being this devoted! Also, Iâm already done with the mushrooms so come along and letâs make some soup for sir!â
With that, both of the girls exited their room, chatting and laughing happily as they left for the kitchen.
A little while later, a group of men could be seen making their way through the jungle atop a huge mountain located north of the Royal Dragon Group.
The group itself consisted of over a hundred men who had been divided into five teams. Whistler and his four brothers were each given a team to be in charge of.
While the men trained on, Yukie and Lucy made their own way toward their master who was sitting on a lounge chair as he drank his tea while two bodyguards wearing sunglasses stood attentively on either side of his chair. One of the guards had his arms behind his back while the other held on to an umbrella, keeping Gerald constantly under the shade.
âWeâve made some birdâs nest for you, sir! Do try some!â said Yukie as she handed him the thermos which she had been carrying along with her.
âYou didnât have to go through all that trouble! Thank you!â said Gerald with a smile as he lowered his tea and took the thermos.
Yukie herself couldnât help but smile sweetly in response.
As she continued looking at him, she couldnât help but feel that Geraldâs body and physique seemed to change constantly!
After all, she distinctly remembered that the muscles on Geraldâs body werenât that huge sometime ago⦠However, they seemed to have suddenly gained a lot of mass out of the blue in the past few days!
This was the second time Yukie was witnessing such a scenarioâ¦
Before she could wonder any further about his physicality, rapid footsteps could be heard approaching them.
Turning around, all of them then saw Whistler running toward Gerald together with his team. From what they could see, a few of his men at the back were carrying a manâs body.
âSir! We found this unconscious man while we were up in the mountains earlier! He has serious injuries all over his body and he seems to have fainted for at least a few days by now! Heâs slowly dying as we speak! What should we do, sir?â announced Whistler as his subordinates slowly lowered the injured man to the ground.
Frowning, Gerald turned to look at the injured man⦠However, the moment he saw the manâs face, his heart instantly began beating rapidly.
Lucy, on the other hand, was now quivering so much that the tray she was holding onto soon clattered on the floor.
âTyson?!â shouted both of them in unison.
While Gerald immediately stood up from his shock, Lucy was already crying as she crouched beside the injured man.
The dying man wasnât just any other Tyson. He was the Tyson from the Drake & Tyson duo.
Shaking his shock off, Gerald found himself running over to Tysonâs side as well.
