He stood there like a lion with its claws sheathed–dangerous, yet so striking it was impossible to look away.

Leonel looked at his most prized grandson with clear satisfaction.

Leonard Rysid was the most outstanding talent of this generation among his kind. At such a young age, he had already reached the peak of Rank 10, just a step away from Rank 11. On top of that, he was strikingly handsome–many noble females on the Central Planet had taken a liking to him.

“Grandfather, you wanted to see me?” Leonard gave a crisp military salute, his voice clear and steady.

Leonel looked at the grandson who had always been his pride, and the gloom on his face finally eased a little.

“Leonard, sit.” He gestured toward the chair below, his tone turning unexpectedly gentle. “What have you been busy with lately?”

“I recently formed my own fleet,” Leonard replied, neither humble nor arrogant.

“Good. Very good.” Leonel nodded approvingly, then shifted the topic. “But having a fleet alone isn’t enough.”

Leonard frowned slightly, confused. “What do

you mean?”

Instead of answering, Leonel activated his lightcore and projected a photo of Emma into the air. In it, she was turning her head with a soft smile, sunlight falling across her face–gentle and radiant.

“Do you know this female?” Leonel asked.

Leonard’s gaze lingered on the image, a flicker of admiration passing through his eyes before he shook his head. “No. I’ve never seen her before.”

Most of his time was spent with his fleet. He rarely interacted with females.

Leonel smiled. “Her name is Emma Tibarn. She’s Lucien and Calum’s huntress.”

Lucien and Calum’s huntress?

Leonard’s eyes returned to the image. He had heard rumors in the military that Calum had

taken a mate–one who was said to be exceptional. So this was her.

Leonel stepped down from his high seat and walked up to him, standing over him with a commanding presence. “Leonard, the family has poured its resources into you all these years. Now, it’s time for you to repay us.”

Leonard’s heart skipped, a bad feeling rising in his chest. “Grandfather… what do you want me to do?”

“I want you to get close to her.” Leonel pointed at Emma’s image, his tone leaving no room for refusal. “No matter what method you use–even if you have to serve her as an attendant, or become her lover–you will find a way to stay by her side.”

Leonard shot to his feet, shock and resistance written all over his face. “Grandfather! I’m the heir of the Maulions. I’m a major in the military. And you want me to become… something lik that? Some ambiguous plaything for a female?”

How could he accept that?

He had his pride. Asking him to lower himself like those males who fawned and flattered to win favor–it was worse than killing him.

Sit down!” Leonel barked, slamming his hand against the table. “You know you’re the heir! If our clan falls, what will your pride be worth then?”

He took a deep breath, his tone easing as he began to persuade–no, indoctrinate.

“Do you think I’m sending you there just to compete for favor? Naive. Calum and Lucien have already joined forces and now hold both military and political power. With the Chitinid unrest, they’re using the opportunity to purge their enemies.

“We have already been pushed to the edge of a cliff! The only way out is to infiltrate them, drive a wedge between them, and make them turn on each other. Only then will our family have a chance to rise again.”

ed again at Emma’s photo, his tone turning profound. “Look at her. She’s beautiful. that Calum and Lucien favor her so much means she must be exceptional. And the round her? None of them is ordinary. Leaving aside Lucien and Calum–even Silas, ake of the Three Domains… If you can use this female to build ties with them, it will be measurable advantage for your future.”

ard pressed his lips together, saying nothing.

He had strength of his own. He had no interest in advancing himself by using a f stepping stone.

Seeing his silence, Leonel pressed on, “Think about it–Emma is an excellent fera Becoming her mate wouldn’t be a loss for you. You’re young, full of potential. Surel more appealing than Lucien and Calum, those older men, aren’t you?

“I know this puts you in a difficult position. I don’t want to send you either. But amo younger males in the family, you’re the most suitable.
