"What!? You're going to the battlefield!?" Charlotte, Iris, Fiona, and Stella exclaimed in shock.
Leon nodded slightly, taking a bite of the dry bread with an air of calm.
"Yes, I am," he replied softly. "The Demon race has been at war with humanity in the Desert of Chaos for over a week. Our forces are struggling, and I need to intervene to help them—and bring an end to this war."
At first, he had no intention of telling them about the war, believing it was too heavy a burden for them to carry.
However, since his time on the battlefield would be long, Liliana suggested he give them a brief explanation.
She worried that if he didn't explain, the girls would feel hurt and upset, leading to disappointment in him.
As a father, he couldn't bear the thought of disappointing his little girls, so he ultimately decided to heed Liliana's advice.
Leon looked at each of them, noting the tense expressions on their adorable faces and the distrust in their eyes, causing him to sigh.
