Chapter 559: Chapter 559 - Red Cheeks and Relentless Ambitions
Broken and Elincia made their way down to the beach, where Orion and the other knights were waiting for them. Among the group were Elowen, Mira, a few Beastkin, and Elves who stood by, ready. As soon as Broken approached, the Knights rose in unison and bowed respectfully.
Orion, who seemed to be adjusting to his new responsibilities over the past few days, avoided making eye contact with Broken and remained silent.
Anna's voice broke the quiet. "My Lord, are we preparing to go on another hunt?!"
Broken smiled and shook his head. "No, I didn't come here today to send you out on another hunt. I wanted to let you know that I believe it would be best for you all to rest and restore your strength today. We'll be setting off on our expedition tomorrow."
He then turned to Elowen and Mira. "I didn't get a chance to properly thank you both yet. My appreciation for your contributions in the last monster defense."
Elowen smiled and bowed slightly. "Without Lord Maylock's order for us to come, it might not have happened, my Lord. But I'm glad we could be of help."
"We'll be heading into another big battle soon," Broken added. "I trust you'll be ready."
Elowen nodded with a slight smile. "Couldn't be worse than sacrificing my life to kill the Ranked Demon, right?"
"We can all hope so," Broken replied with a faint smile.
Broken then turned to Orion, who seemed to lower his gaze slightly.
[Name: Orion]
[Level: 208]
[Strength: 745 | Agility: 234 | Intelligence: 756 | Constitution: 324 | Stamina: 546] [Job: Guard]
[Battlefield Commander (S) - Bravery (A) - Charge Resistance (B) - Spell Mastery (B) - Sword Mastery (B) Intimidating Presence (B)]
Orion possessed an impressive set of talents that seemed to perfectly complement one another. His S-rated Battlefield Commander talent alone would be invaluable to Broken as he looked to expand his army in the future.
Igor also had the Battlefield Commander talent, though his was rated at B. That difference alone made it clear that Orion had far greater potential when it came to leading his own war troops.
His potential was immense, with abilities that balanced each other seamlessly. Spell Mastery and Sword Mastery-combined with his choice of the Sword Magic class-made him a force to be reckoned with.
And Bravery? Broken smirked; that one could easily have been called Arrogance instead.
As the son of a well-respected Viscount, Orion carried the weight of many people's expectations. Broken hoped he'd rise to meet them.
But seriously, he still couldn't believe it-Orion was practically a perfect setup, with stats and talents so ideally aligned. Damn, he was lucky to have Orion on his team.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Orion," Broken said in a firm tone.
"The way you motivated that jerk, Orion," she continued. "You were so confident and provoking with him, but he took it to heart and seemed genuinely inspired. How did you do
it?"
"I'm not sure what you mean, Elincia. I was just saying what was on my mind."
Elincia's eyes lit up. "You have a natural gift for leadership! Do you realize your own
potential?"
Broken pondered this for a moment before asking, "So, are you saying I could do the same with all the guild members who might follow me someday?"
Elincia giggled. "Well, you do seem to communicate differently with each person, don't
you?"
She went on, "And that's exactly what I mean. You're able to influence people in a natural way -look at how you barely tried with Maylock, yet he already admires you deeply. That's real
leadership."
Broken considered her words thoughtfully. "So, do you think I could lead others?"
"Try it," Elincia replied warmly. "I'll be there to support you."
"I'll talk to Freya about this," he said after a moment. "See you tomorrow, Elincia."

Leon stepped out of the capsule and realized night had already fallen. They were still at the beach cottage, but the place seemed empty as he moved from room to room. Finally, he headed out to the backyard, where the swimming pool shimmered softly in the fading light.
Freya was seated comfortably on a nearby sofa.
"Hello..." Freya greeted him, turning around and waving. "What's wrong? You look
exhausted."
Without a word, Leon slowly made his way to the sofa and sank into it, closing his eyes. Freya gently stroked his cheek and pulled him closer to her shoulder.
"Rest here," she murmured. "You'll be amazed at the serenity Freya's shoulder can bring."
Leon relaxed, letting his head rest on her shoulder as he took a slow, deep breath of the clean evening air. The tension and fatigue that had weighed on him began to melt away.
"There's something I want to talk to you about," he whispered.
"I'm here," Freya replied softly. "Go ahead; I'm listening."
