Chapter 274 - General Aston (2) (1/2)

General Aston exited the room. Outside the room, Alice had been waiting for him. As soon as General Aston got out of the room, Alice ran towards him and hugged him.

Alice cried, ”I am glad... I am glad you are still alive! Don't you go away again!”

If Auron could see this incident, he would be baffled. The evil and mighty Alice cried like a baby in front of her father. It was such a rare sight.

”Okay... Okay... That is enough. Hold your tears.” General Aston calmed her down.

”Let us go back first! I haven't been able to take a bath for more than a month, I really smelly right now.” General Aston invited her to come back home. Alice nodded, obeying, and followed General Aston back.

Alice was excitedly prepared a dish for her father. It was the first time she cooks again after a long time. After a few minutes, she finished making the dish.

Alice brought the dish to the dining table and arranged it neatly on one side. At that time, her father just came out of the bathroom. He sniffed a fragrant and delicious smell.

”Wow, my daughter was really a good cook! Her future husband must be happy.” General Aston teased his daughter.

Alice shyly punched her father, then she sat in front of her father. They ate the dish together while Alice told her father many stories. It was such a happy atmosphere for the father and the daughter.

”How do you find the place?” General Aston started to talk about the recent mission.

”I didn't know. I just got to know about it from my student's friend. He told me that his friend, my student, was kidnapped and asked me to rescue him.”

”Moreover, he said that that place was the bandit headquarter. That was why, as a teacher, I have the responsibility to save my students. Surprisingly, I also meet you there!” Alice explained.

”Oh, so that rude young man was your student?” General Aston didn't forget about Auron's behavior.

”What!!! What did he do? Tell me! I will punish him, harshly!” Alice was furious when she knew Auron was rude to her father.

”No, forget it! It was not important. Oh, so which one was his friend? Was it the swordsman?” General Aston asked Alice.

It was easy for General Aston to guess since only Auron's swordsman who didn't have any military gesture.

”Yes, it is.” Alice said, ”What happened? Did you know him? Did he also act rudely towards you?”

Alice was so overprotective towards her father since she had thought that her father had died. When she found out that her father was still alive, she unconsciously developed a protective nature because she didn't want to lose him anymore.

”Ho...” General Aston pondered quietly. He had something on his mind that he could not say yet.
