Before going back to the alliance, Velian wanted to assign roles to everyone so, they won't mess up things in the city. He planned to join two places in future while obtaining more territories but, right now he wanted to see Daphnia and others so much,
"Thank you everyone for coming, I asked you to gather for a special announcement," Velian looked at the gathering.
Sariya and Elda were there at the gathering and a few other officials were also there.
Unlike Delvi who is a training demoness, Velian missed Daphnia so much, he missed her warm embrace and her silvery white hair which almost matched his hair.
"I'm going back to the alliance for a few days, and I plan to join this city with it, so I will send my plans about it later, for now, I just wanted to appoint people to take care of the city," Only a few people were surprised by it cashed every other person heard about it from Samara or Remi.
For some reason, talkative and playful Juno was silent these few days, many people noticed her weird behaviour and some were able to correctly tell the reason for it, Her grandfather also knew about the reason but, he didnt say anything because he fully approved their relationship.
"He's strong, he's handsome, he's caring, what else does she need? I think he's the most appropriate partner for her, I should thank beast goddess for giving my dumb grandchild someone to share her life with,"
Unknown to Juno, everyone started to couple Velian and her, mainly in her battalion,
"It's good if she starts a family, at least then she will reduce our training time," They were happy to see their commander like this but more than that they were happy to get some free time.
Velian looked at Sariya who was showing her normal official look,
"She will be the mayor of this city from now on, it is a permanent position for her," Velian emphasised about it because others would misunderstand him.
"Samara will take care of the finances,"
"Remi and Noah will take care of the battalion in my absence, Juno's grandfather will take care of her battalion," Velian assigned relevant positions to many of them before ending the gathering quickly.
"And in my absence, Delviny will take care of positions, so she has the highest authority,"
He didn't want to hold a long meeting just for this mundane task, everyone left after giving their regards to him and wishing him a safe journey.
"Sariya, how do you feel?" Before she left the room with Elda, Velian stopped them.
"I feel a lot better, it's like my whole energy is back," She wasn't exaggerating anything, Sariya felt her power returning back with her mana being refined by some unknown process.
"All is well then, if you have anything you can contact me with our mind connection," Velian's words didn't confuse her as he already taught her about these.
Mind connection is another perk of using his unique skill, basically, Velian could contact her anytime with his telepathy from any distance at any time but, this wasn't a two-way relationship.
Even if Velian can contact her anytime, Sariya needed his permission to contact him through this perk.
Velian didn't mind even if it was a two-way connection but, the skill didn't work like that.
"If there's any problem, I'll come back quickly, so don't hesitate to contact me," Sariya gave a slight nod at his words.
Both Sariya and Elda weren't in their greatest mood because of Velian's trip to his home city. They already started to see him as someone irreplaceable especially Elda,
Suddenly, Elda's eyes started to leak tears like a broken dam,
"Do you real- really have to go back?" Her voice was shaking showing how sad, she was about this whole situation.
"I'm really sorry, Elda but just like you, I miss my mother, so I need to see her," Velian started to carefully wipe her tears using his handkerchief.
Sariya was looking at everything with a natural face but, her emotions were also no different from her daughter,
"Why am I thinking of him like this? He's old enough to be my son," Just like every day Sariya, she started to panic at her own thoughts.
"You will come quickly right?" Elda asked with her reddened eyes.
"Of course, I will, do you think I will abandon you two?" Velian couldn't help but feel sweet inside seeing her caring about him so much.
Even though he felt sweet inside, Velian's handkerchief was filled with Elda's tears and snot.
*Purr
She sneezed with her small reddened nose,
"I know, please come fast, I'm waiting for you," She didn't realise that she was starting to sound like a married wife.
"This girl!" Under Sariya's gaze, Velian gave her a hug causing both of them to open their mouths wide in surprise.
"Don't cry, I will come back," He whispered to her ears causing her whole face to become red with nervousness.
"Umu~" She just gave a cute sound accepting his words.
Sariya felt a strange feeling at the same time, she felt happy for Elda,
"*Sigh, when did she become this bold?" She thought looking at them.
After consoling them for a few minutes, Velian went back to pack his things, on his way he talked with a few people giving them orders and greetings,
"She must be resting," I thought about Naomi, who was taking her day off since, she felt her mana going berserk inside her. Unlike Delviny, she couldn't handle her upgrade well.
Most of the time she felt nauseous or headaches because of the excess mana in her body.
Velian was able to get some information about the effect of giving the bloodline thanks to her, she wanted to train and increase her rank but Velian didn't let her do that.
Delvi started her training with Velian to stabilise her newfound stamina and power and for some reason, it went great for her. Even though she couldn't increase her rank, her power and speed increased by several folds.
"Mother, I'm coming to see you," Velian thought while walking in the hallway.
Velian went back to his room to get ready for his departure.
