章 247: Good News & Day One

"We have signed the pact. The war begins tomorrow."

Abaddon was now back at home, sitting face to face with his entire family in addition to some extra guests. 

Kanami, Absalom, Malenia, and even the triplet maids were all present within his living room. 

The mood was naturally very serious, and other than the sound of Abaddon's voice there was no other noise that could be heard. 

"I will be setting out with Kanami and the rest of the Euphrates at first light. While we are gone, it will be up to all of you to defend our home in the event that we are attacked by one of the five."

Little Mira raised her hand cutely and waited to be called upon, as even she was able to recognize the overall seriousness of this situation.

"But father, doesn't the big tree help keep all of the bad people away?" 

Abaddon was slightly impressed that his youngest was able to remember a fact that he had told her casually.
