"Lightning, when we land later, remember to move gently. Don't wake your mistress or the children." While they were still on the way through the sky, Romon had already begun quietly reminding Lightning.
It was already late at night. In Romon's view, Eileen and Bell had surely fallen asleep. If they made too much noise when they returned, they might disturb their sweet dreams.
Besides, once the two children were awakened, they would cling to Romon again. Why invite that trouble?
Although advancing to the Seventeenth Level was wonderful news, it would not be too late to tell them tomorrow.
"Master, rest assured. I go up and down around the villa every day. I could land safely with my eyes closed. Mission guaranteed." Hearing Romon's reminder, Lightning answered with a touch of smugness, his tone somewhat slick and carrying the manner of speech of someone Romon knew very well.
