"Why do you think so?"

"Your owner is Lieutenant General Gran, and he will not agree to terminate the contract. Moreover, the empire will not allow you to move freely."

"Corpse Man" sneered again: "Who said you need to find someone with permission to help?"

Fariel tilted her head: "However, the summoning contract can only be lifted by the Lord himself. It is almost impossible for others to forcibly re-summon. The only possible way is that the contractor dies, maybe..." Halfway through, Fariel suddenly woke up.

"After going around in such a big circle, you finally understand?"

Fariel said loudly: "Impossible! Besides, if you don't do it well, you will die, right?"

"You can't gain freedom without the determination to bet your own life." Corpse Man slammed the table.

Looking at Fariel wiping the sweat on her forehead, Corpse Man smiled and said, "Don't worry, the plan is already in place. It won't do any harm to you."

Even though the words were sweet in tone, they were full of conspiracy and trickery. However, Fariel no longer had the option to refuse.

It was an early morning, and the singing of birds was so refreshing. Through the cracks in the curtains, the morning light caressed her eyelids, and Annie slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she yawned.

Suddenly, she noticed the sensation of stroking her hair. Looking to the side, Faye had woken up and touched her gently.

"Good morning," Fay said with a smile, and Annie smiled back and said "Good morning."

Then she realized that Fay was already dressed for work. Anne sat up hastily and looked at the clock.

"There's still enough time." Fay immediately understood what she meant, and Annie breathed a sigh of relief: "What's wrong?"

Fay said: "There are urgent matters to deal with and we must go out immediately."

Anne stood up again.

"Where's breakfast?" Fay said.

"Sorry, do it right away." Anne said with some disappointment.

"No way, this is an emergency." Fay apologized and kissed her face gently.

"What about tonight?" Anne asked.

"Probably will be back late."

Annie frowned: "What about dad's dinner?"

"I'm going to ask him for leave and apologize," Fahey said.

Anne curled her lips, it was rare for Fay to take the initiative to suggest such a thing.

"What happened?" Annie asked with a smile.

Faye smiled and replied: "Nothing, I just need to have a complicated conversation with the colonel, and invite Lieutenant General Gran to come and join us. We can talk at that time."

Anne expressed understanding and said with a smile: "That's it."

"That's it." Fay stood up.

Just as he was about to leave, Anne stretched and said, "But this will make Dad very pitiful. I can do it alone at night."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fei's expression suddenly changed and she said, "No."

Anne's eyes widened in surprise.

"Ah, no, because Lieutenant General Gran will stay with you until the evening."

"Really? Why didn't you tell me earlier? You scared me."

"Ah, ah, I'm sorry." Fey apologized hurriedly, "Then I'm leaving. I'll go home directly tonight." He added.

"Well, but you will be back late, right?" Annie asked.

"I'll be back as soon as possible. After all, I want to eat Annie's cooking." Faye said with a smile.

"It's amazing." Annie laughed again.

"Then I'm leaving." Fay left the room, and Annie looked at his back and smiled again.

Ozwald's air was heavy: "Is this true?"

The voice also trembled, feeling the tremor from the surprise: "Yes, I heard it with my own ears. He is planning to murder Lieutenant General Gran with Colonel Farrier tonight."

Ozwald remained silent. But what Ozwald said next shocked Fay: "It's unbelievable..."

Faye asked loudly, "Did you know!?"

Ozwald went on to explain: "Not that I knew, but I knew he had some erratic behavior. But without evidence to act, we would be at a disadvantage."

Ozwald showed a disgusted expression: "The higher-ups want to control him, but they are also afraid of his power. I want to find conclusive evidence to convince Lieutenant General Gran and make him completely the object of our manipulation."

Ozwald stared at Fay sharply: "Even the emotional Lieutenant General Grant wouldn't have mercy on his opponent who tried to kill him, would he?"

"So you want me to investigate?"

"Sorry for not telling you."

Faye sighed, there was no use complaining.

Fay immediately raised his head: "I don't mind, then I should report to Lieutenant General Gran..."

Before Fay finished speaking, Ozwald interrupted: "If we act openly, he might notice it, and then the plan will be ruined."

"What?"

"Then our plan will fail."

Fey frowned: "I don't understand what you mean." Fey understood clearly and just said it deliberately.

"Let the plan go ahead and capture him at the last moment. Keep him under control in the name of justice."

"Are we going to let Lieutenant General Gran die?"

"No, stop when you are about to kill him."

"What if you fail!"

"Won't fail."

"There are no absolutes in the world, Colonel."

"At least there are in the Empire, Faye."

Faye tried to get closer, but Ozwald stopped him with his sharp eyes: "In short, we will track Lieutenant General Gran without his knowledge. Don't worry, we will also be fully prepared."

Fey's fists shook. "I can't accept it," he replied, "This is about life safety."

"I understand how you feel. But this is for the country. Just accept it."

"Colonel!"

"This is an order, Major."

Fay's eyes widened.

"You have to get involved too. Protect Lieutenant General Gran. I believe you can do it."

Faye punched Ozwald's table with his right fist. "I understand," he replied, staring hard at Ozwald.

Ozwald secretly recruited elite personnel. They were well prepared and gathered team members who had completed special tasks to form a temporary unit to avoid being discovered by Fariel.

Faye contacted Gran and canceled the dinner and apologized, subtly confirming the night at home.

At sunset, they changed into civilian clothes and headed from Gran's home to the house three doors down that Ozwald had prepared for them.

Since it was a high-end residential area, it was a pretty big house. Ozwald has a close relationship with the owner and was able to use it temporarily for today.

After everyone gathered at the spacious entrance, Fay secretly changed her clothes under the knight's armor she had carried secretly. Ozwald himself also finished his disguise and began to prepare to put on his armor.
