Chapter 1389
The information inevitably spread about Heins Territory’s technology, having been leaked during the meeting in the Contas Empire. It was impossible to deny and suppress, given that the Goran Kingdom of all nations was the one who suddenly possessed their proprietary technology.
Since Empress Redimia's departure left Davey no time to focus elsewhere, he planned to entrust the job of remedying the situation to Willow.
Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon were on a school field trip, while Evangeline was busy streaming. Besides them, Darian and Abel were still children, so naturally, he couldn't entrust that kind of work to them.
That was the superficial reason, but the truth was a little different.
“I announced my retirement, but they won't let me rest even once,” Davey lamented.
Yet he couldn’t just let things go and make an agreement, and neither could he ignore them. As such, only one option remained—find someone trustworthy to step forward so that he wouldn’t have to.
Super Ribbon seemed the most fitting, though actually the most detached from humanity. While she looked fine, her philosophy and thoughts differed slightly from typical living beings, meaning a usually small issue could easily spiral into a big problem given the right circumstances.
Evangeline was too much of a free spirit, acting solely according to her mood, so he definitely couldn't trust her with important work. Plus, she was still young.
Willow, on the other hand, was quite level-headed. She had been a sword from the beginning, yet after emerging as a goddess, her way of thinking had changed considerably. The only problem was that as a goddess, she also saw and felt things that ordinary living beings couldn’t...
‘Still, she's probably the most sensible choice of them all.’
“Oh, right, Dad!” Just as he was deep in thought, Willow, who had excitedly rushed out not long before, suddenly opened the window to the room and peeked her head in to add something else. “I've been debating whether or not I should tell you this.”
She went silent, seemingly still conflicted despite already having begun speaking.
