Nancy and the children arrive at the reception hall and meet Lord Lynn. Lynn readily agrees to let them leave, but reveals that Samuel promised him anything if Nancy could live on his land. Nancy is shocked, but Lynn asserts his absolute authority, stating he can keep or dismiss them based on Samuel's value to him. He then instructs Nancy and the children to study diligently and learn production techniques and military strategies to earn their keep.

"Of course, their labor is crucial for the development of the territory!"

"However, what I need more is, while your minds are not yet rigid, while you still have a strong ability to learn."

"Through learning, gain even greater abilities."

"I will appoint you as managers of various industries, to manage the residents of the territory for me, enabling them to engage in efficient production labor..."

"Thus, make greater contributions for me and this land."

"This is what you, who are not yet adults, should be doing!"

"Perhaps you know nothing now."

"But!"

"Youth is your greatest advantage!"

"Only in this way can you realize the value of your life!"

"Certainly, the meaning of your life, the value of your life, cannot be decided by a single sentence from me."

"But by learning more skills and mastering more knowledge, you can pursue industries you like or love."

"Rather than having to choose to face the earth day in and day out, laboring repetitively like machines!"

Lynn paused in his speech.

"Furthermore!"

"At your age, you might be able to live on in Kakasong City."

"But they... are just children five or six, seven or eight years old."

"Do you think they can survive safely in the complex situation and environment of Kakasong City?"

"A stable and secure life is right in front of them, yet you think your self-righteousness wants to strip them of their beautiful life!"

"They depend on you, live by your orders!"

"Do you not feel guilty toward them?"

Lynn finished saying the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

Lynn couldn’t help but exhale a breath of heat, feeling inexplicably comfortable inside.

Lord Lynn’s voice fell.

But the last sentence kept echoing in Nancy’s mind, firmly remembered in Nancy’s heart.

Lynn gazed distantly at Nancy.

"If you still wish to leave..."

"Suarez, prepare the carriage for them!"

Suarez, who had been standing not far away, bent slightly and responded.

"Yes, Lord."

Suarez turned his gaze toward Nancy, about to speak.

Nancy’s lowered head suddenly lifted, meeting Lynn’s gaze, and she bent slightly.

"Lord Lynn, please forgive Nancy’s offense and ignorance."

"Nancy requests of you to let Nancy and the children remain in your territory..."

"We will, as you said, strive to learn and once we’ve grown and mastered our skills, repay your kindness for sheltering us!"

After saying this.

Nancy’s body moved, directly kneeling on one knee on the floor of the reception hall.

The seventeen children behind Nancy, clueless, followed and kneeled down.

Several of the five or six-year-olds, still innocent, kneeled on both knees...

Looking at Nancy and the children’s actions, Lynn remained seated in the wooden chair, without any words.

Perhaps because Nancy is about to come of age.

Or maybe it’s because Nancy has been an orphan since childhood.

In order to survive in Kakasong City, her experiences have far exceeded those of her peers.

Thus.

Making Nancy, originally a girl, heavily guarded in her mind.

Due to the long time kneeling, Nancy felt severe pain coming from her knees.

Not only Nancy.

The group of children kneeling behind her already couldn’t endure the pain in their knees, supporting themselves with their hands on the ground.

In this way, easing the pain in their knees.

Nancy’s complexion changed, and she couldn’t help but speak again.

"Lord Lynn, please forgive Nancy for the previous offense..."

"Please let Nancy and the others continue to stay in your territory..."

Lynn glanced at the group kneeling on the ground, and spoke.

"I can let you stay."

"But I need you to remember everything I just said!"

Nancy bowed her head, respectfully saying.

"Yes, Lord Lynn... My Lord."

Lynn murmured lightly, and said.

"Stand up."

Receiving Lynn’s affirmative response, Nancy’s heart relaxed, wanting to immediately stand up.

However.

The severe pain from her knees, the weakness in her legs, caused Nancy’s body to collapse forward instantly.

Guard Captain Suarez, originally waiting to take Nancy and the others away, hurriedly bent over, extending his right arm forward.

Nancy, without hesitation, quickly extended her hands, grasping it.

Thus, stopping her body from falling.

With Suarez’s support.

Nancy slowly stood up, gratefully glancing at Suarez.

"Thank you..."

Lynn, observing all this, continued to speak.

"If nothing else needs attention, Kuisi, take them and withdraw."

Kuisi, who had been waiting not far from the reception hall watching everything unfold, bent slightly and responded.

"Yes, My Lord."

Without further words, Kuisi stepped forward, heading towards Nancy.

Reaching Nancy’s side, Kuisi supported Nancy, saying.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to dinner!"

Upon hearing the word ’dinner’ from Kuisi’s mouth.

Nancy and the children’s eyes brightened.

Since Lynn let them leave, they immediately departed from the Lord’s Square, traversed large fields, then entered the forest, finally reaching the walls of Weng City.

However.

The armored soldiers at the walls of Weng City had not received instructions from the Lord.

Consequently, Nancy and the others could not leave.

Nancy could only lead the children back to the town once more, arriving at the Lord’s Castle to make a request.
