Chapter 7: Honor Monastery
Daylan spent most of his time training with Medora. He gave her a glimpse of what his ability was, and based on that, their combat training gradually became more intense.
Though he wasn't as strong as Medora, he held his own. His reflexes, strikes, vision, and flexibility all improved steadily, sharpening with each session.
His responsibilities and training simply couldn't quell his desire to see his mother.
Daylan had gone to the prison with Zira to check on their mother, but the prison guards refused to let him in. He pleaded and even tried to negotiate with them, but they insisted they had direct orders from Enzo not to allow him inside.
If Enzo had hoped to make life difficult for Daylan with such tricks, it didn't work. Instead, Daylan simply spent more time with Zira. He even visited Medora's house, where he discovered that Zira was disguised as a maid in Medora's mother's presence—to prevent herself from being discovered by her.
It was early in the morning, the sun slowly rising from the East. Daylan was already prepared to leave when there was a knock on the door. Having already said his goodbyes to Zira and Medora, he knew it was the Chivalries.
As soon as he opened the door, a guard silently motioned for him to enter the carriage. His grip tightened on his suitcase as he walked to the carriage and hopped in. The moment he entered, there he was—Lieutenant Bruce.
He smirked. "It's been a while, huh?"
The carriage began rolling.
"You don't seem that excited about becoming a Chivalry," Lieutenant Bruce said, eyeing him. "The kids I know would be yapping about their achievements to me by now."
Daylan stayed silent, his eyes fixed on Lieutenant Bruce's sarcastic expression, choosing not to rise to the bait.
