Father and daughter reunited

As the war continued, the Texi Province was eventually shrouded in the shadow of war, and the Train was filled with the Marley Army gathering, who boarded Train from here to head to the front lines.

The midday sun was bright, and under its rays, Annie's Blonde shone brilliantly. Her slender fingers kept nervously rubbing the Ring on her hand.

Annie, sitting in the waiting area, seemed very nervous and ignored the ice cream Ramzi offered her.

Ramzi was puzzled. Didn't Annie really like ice cream? What's wrong with her today?

Ramzi's grandfather was also there, twisting a small bundle of thread into rope. This is a unique Indians craft, and the resulting rope is a popular decorative item among Indians.

Annie, who had stayed at Ramzi's house for several days, offered to pick someone up at the Train before leaving, and thanked them for taking care of her over the past few days.

Ramzi's family tried to persuade her to stay, and prepared many local specialties as gifts, but Annie politely declined them all. In the end, Ramzi's family couldn't persuade Annie otherwise, but Ramzi's grandfather insisted on personally taking Annie to the Train. He said that Marley was currently at war with someone, and it would be too dangerous for a little girl like Annie to go to the Train alone.

Another Train pulled into the station, Annie immediately looked up to carefully observe Train passengers getting off. From morning until now, every Train that stopped had captured Annie's attention.

Most of the people disembarking from the Train from the capital were Marley Soldiers in uniform, armed and lined up neatly. They boarded the new Train in batches at the command of their officers. As the number of people gradually decreased, Annie lowered his head. Had Yago not returned yet? They had agreed to meet today.

But just as Annie was feeling disappointed, she saw two figures getting off the Train. One of them was Yago, Annie had been worried about, and the other person Yago was helping, with his limping figure leaning on a cane, was etched in Annie's eyes.

A layer of mist instantly welled up in her light blue eyes.

Ramzi was licking his ice cream when his sister Annie suddenly stood up and ran away.

Yago helped Mr. Leonhardt up, he too had noticed the figure running towards them earlier.

As the distance closed, Yago saw the tears welling up in Annie's eyes, and Yago heart clenched slightly; he felt a pang of heartache.

As Yago released Mr. Leonhardt's hand and opened his arms to give Annie a loving hug, Annie suddenly darted past Yago, leaving Yago dumbfounded.

Mr. Leonhardt was caught off guard by his daughter's embrace and was momentarily at a loss, but soon he heard her slightly choked voice, "Father..."

In an instant, Mr. Leonhardt's eyes also reddened. He reached out and touched his daughter's head with trembling hands, and said in a choked voice, "Annie, my child, you've grown so tall. Your father almost didn't recognize you. You've suffered so much these past years. It's all my fault, my child. It was all my fault back then."

The scene of father and daughter reuniting was touching. Although Yago had been a little embarrassed, seeing Annie and her father embracing and weeping, Yago lowered his hands and smiled knowingly. Now Annie could rest assured.

Ramzi and his grandfather also came to greet them and witnessed the reunion of Annie and her father. Although they were somewhat surprised, they understood after Yago explained and warmly invited Yago and his family to come back as guests. However, Yago was neither in the mood nor had the time and politely declined the invitation.

Ramzi's grandfather didn't insist. After exchanging pleasantries, he was about to take Ramzi back when Yago stopped Ramzi and took Ramzi aside to talk to him.

Yago stuffed a wad of banknotes into Ramzi's pocket, but Ramzi quickly pulled them out to return them. "No, Grandpa said that Sister Annie and Uncle are our friends, and we can't take your money. Besides, Sister Annie often buys me desserts."

Although he felt a little helpless that Ramzi still called him uncle, Yago still smiled and patted Ramzi's head, saying, "Ramzi, wouldn't you like your family to live in a big house?"

Ramzi's eyes lit up. "Yes!" Of course he wanted to. Who wouldn't want to live in a big house? Especially the Indians living in Marley.

"Then Ramzi, don't refuse your Older Brother. Besides, didn't your grandfather say we're friends? With this money, Ramzi, your family can all live in a big house. When your sister Annie and I come to visit, we can also stay in a big house, right? Don't you want your sister Annie to stay in a big house when she comes to visit?"

Ramzi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Alright, then take this money. Make sure it's a secret, don't tell Grandpa. Give it to him when you get back, okay?"

"Good!"

"Let's pinky swear!"

"Pinky promise!"

Yago happily coaxed Ramzi until Ramzi's grandfather shouted for him to go home.

After waving goodbye to Ramzi and his grandfather, Yago turned around, but as soon as he did, he saw Annie rushing towards him.

The soft, fragrant scent enveloped him, and Yago inhaled its aroma with great pleasure.

"Thank you, Yago." Annie squinted, feeling an unprecedented peace in her heart. With her father and lover by her side, all the resentment in Annie's heart completely disappeared. She had never felt so relaxed as she did now.

"Really? How should I thank you? How about..." Yago whispered something in Annie's ear with a smile, and Annie's face turned red instantly.

Seeing Annie's hesitant look, Yago pretended to be helpless and said, "Well, if you don't want to, then forget it~~ Yeah, I shouldn't have asked you to~" His tone sounded a little sour.

Annie: "!?"

Mr. Leonhardt felt a sense of relief watching his daughter act shy and awkward in front of Yago. It seemed that Annie really liked this young man, Yago.

But what happened next shocked Mr. Leonhardt. He didn't know what Yago said, but his daughter blushed, then hugged Yago's neck and offered Yago rosy lips to his.

Mr. Leonhardt was shocked, as if he saw a fresh, plump cabbage hopping and jumping into someone's hands.

"These young people nowadays," Mr. Leonhardt shook his head and sighed.

Yago, however, felt a blissful sensation as his lips touched the softness of the fabric and tasted its sweetness.

After a long while, their lips parted. Yago was still somewhat reluctant to part, but with so many people at the Train and Mr. Leonhardt standing beside him, Yago was too embarrassed to ask for more.

At the same time, another Train from the Marley Capital carried not only Marley Soldiers and ordinary passengers, but also a group of young Old Nobility Officer from Marley.

These young Officer were talking animatedly on the Train, gesticulating wildly about the battlefield situation at the front, acting as if they could do it themselves, that the frontline Officer were all trash, and that the Ministry of Defense should have sent them long ago, and so on.

In a corner of the young Officer' carriage, a young Officer stood out from the crowd, quietly reading a newspaper by himself. The rank insignia on his shoulders read lieutenant Lieutenant Colonel.
