"Lord Eros, Please! i beg of you. My family is in danger. I need your help!" Lady frostbite pleaded.
Tears were in her eyes and she held Eros''s arm as she begged on her knees.
however, eros had a stern expression on his face. As far as he was concerned, it was not just logical to leave his vunerable home to go save another''s.
One must first remove the spec in one''s own eyes before removing that in the eyes of one''s neighbor.
Eros was such a man. It was true that he considereddy Frostbite a guest and definitely a friend. After all, she had stood against the brutality that hade to his home.
However, all he had for her was gratitude. The internal strife of the Frostbite family and the Crood family who were their Inws was not his business or his problem.
This was practically him poking into waters that concerned him not.
At the moment, Jimmy had been injured. his grand daughter had been taken hostage and his people needed their Baron.
Eros had never thought himself a hero and only learnt his strength to his family or when it benefitted him.
He was not a bad guy, but in his opinion, it would be total foolishness to dabble in matters that did not concern him.
Eros looked at the crying face of Lady Frostbite.
He squat before her, and wiped the tears off her reddened face, "i understand your plight, but this is something I cannot do. I can let you stay here on ount of your safety. You may use my home as a base for you to gather up your strength and make contact with your allies to go take back your home."
Lady Frostbite suddenly frowned, and then...
*SLAP!* She pped him hard on the face.
"If You are not going to help me, I''ll do it myself!" She stood up and walked away.
Commander half Bra and Dan looked at one another
Everybody else kept silent. No one said a word. This problem was between Barons.
Eros stood to his feet and without saying a word, he walked away.
In this manner and drama, the meeting was concluded.
....
Slowly, the Evening came and Lady frostbite as well as her Frozen Horse beasts took into the night. Their destination was obviously the Frostbite Fiefdom.
As she rode away, tears dropped from her eyes, but she had a determined look on her face.
Frostbites were a very hard headed bunch.dy Ang frostbite was strong with this special trait of her bloodline.
As she sped through the dark hours of the night, Butler Jimmy stood by a high window and watched as she rode away. He sighed loudly.
He had his arm bandaged properly and he still had a pale look on his face.
He turned behind to Eros who was sitting on a sofa, "are you sure about this decision, My lord!?"
Eros nodded, "yes! The Fiefdom is too fragile at the moment. We should satay and build our own. Besides, we still have a fight with Baron Bolos for Penny. It would be foolishness to let other people''s problemspound ours."
Jimmy heard what Eros had said and nodded ordingly.
Eros stood up and walked to his room.
...
Later that night, Eros opened his wardrobe as he hurried up with his dressing.
Everything he wore was unlike his usual.
that was because it was all a shade of ck. His boots were ck, his clothes were fitted and ck, and even the mask he wore, was ck, and it looked like a monster from the legends.
He carried his walking stick and he was finally ready.
However, the moment he opened his door to leave, Dan stood right in front of him with a smile on his face, "caught you!"
This took Eros aback a bit.
"I was right! You are going to the Frostbite Estate right?" Dan asked. The smug look on his face was proud. He had followed his intuition and caught his grandfather at exactly the right time.
From the recent experience that Dan had gotten with Eros, he knew Eros to a certain deal.
"Are you going to save the Damsel in distress!?" Dan teased.
Eros sighed as he removed the face mask, "No! you get it wrong. If She was one of mine, then I would have not mind helping her. However, she is not. So I am not going to help her!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>
This made Dan raise a brow at his grandfather, "I don''t understand! Is that not why you are obviously dressed in your Ninja costume?"
Eros shook his head, "No! You don''t understand," Eros expression suddenly became stern and his eyes looked as if he was going to spit fire through them.
"The Issue between the Frostbite Family and the Crood Family is absolutely not my business, but as you can see, they hurt jimmy. Jimmy is family. Now, That Issue is my business. the Crood family would have to exin to me why a member of my family was caught in the crossfire of their battles."
As Dan heard this, his face also became very serious. He had not looked at things from that angle. It totally made sense now.
Jimmy was like a second father to him. As far back as he could remember, he had always been there. However, today for the first time ever, he was worried about the state he had seen the old man in.
That Arrow had gotten Jimmy in the arm.
If it had been fired silently at a different angle, Jimmy would by now be dead.
The Tates were known for protecting their own. it was literally their family motto. Family came first before all else. Even before benefits and certainly before Pleasure.
Eros''s words had suddenly roused a strong zeal to fight in Dan.
Eros could see it in the boy''s eyes. But before he could stop him, Dan said it.
"I''ming with you! Jimmy is also a part of my family and Tates protect their own. I''ming with you!"
Eros knew it wasing, but now that it had finally arrived, he could not help but sigh. After all, Dan had no cultivation. Which meant that he did not have the power required for such a mission. This was not Dan''s fault but because of a particr physic that he possessed.
However, he had a look in his eyes that told Eros that whether Eros took him or not, he was going to definitely find his way. This was just how the family worked. It was their tradition.
As Eros looked at Dan, he suddenly had a fond memory of his father in this world standing up for him. Giving his all to save his him. Even though he was bleeding from his mouth and his legs shook because of his weakness, he still stood.
Such was the way of the Tates.
Eros smiled at Dan and roffled his white hair a bit, "good! You have grown so well. Penny would be really proud of you."
Dan smiled back at him.
Eros suddenly waved his hand and a paper came out of the Storage ring.
He made a cut on his finger, and then he used his blood as ink and drew some symbols on the paper. After wards, he put some of his Celestial energy into the paper.
"what is that?" Dan asked.
"Its a Talisman!" Eros put it over Dan''s head and it suddenly dissolved in mes forming a red bubble around his body which disappeared nearly as fast as it appeared.
"This will protect you in case I am not there!"
Dan nodded in understanding.
eros took a look at him, "we also have to change your clothes."
"don''t worry, I came prepared!" Dan tore out his clothes and behold, he was wearing ck-tight fitted garments under.
Eros nodded in understanding.
He waved his hand and hand Dan a knife from the storage ring.
" is that..!?" Dan was speechless for words.
"Yes! It''s a soul weapon. This one does not have a master yet. You can bond with it. Even without cultivation, this will help a lot ande in very handy."
Dan nodded as he received the sharp and curvy de.
"Just make a cut on your skin and recite the words on it!" Eros instructed.
Dan nodded and did as Eros instructed.
Immediately, the Dagger glowed in a quick white light.
Deep from within himself, Dan could feel the connection he had with the de. It was like it was an extension of his arm.
he waved the de through the air and he could almost feel the wind on the de through his senses.
"That de has some special features. You can try them outter. For now, we need to go!"
dan raised a brow at Eros, " That reminds me. How are we going to get there without anybody seeing us? Lady frostbite left hours ago!"
Eros smiled, "don''t worry about that! I have us covered." He raised Dan unto his back, "hold on tight!"
