491 Nova's Decision

After Rory left to meet the 25 men of the family who were already in Saltstar City, the men of Vicente's group finished unloading the group's carriages.

Meanwhile, Nina and Eve went through the entire estate, which had already been properly furnished, as Vicente had instructed his associate to do.

Nina and Eve had already chosen their rooms from the 10 options on the property, while Vicente had taken the best room on the roof of this five-story building, three above ground and two underground.

Although there were only 10 rooms in the family's new home, two communal rooms in the basement could accommodate up to 40 people at a time.

That was where the men of the family would live without having to worry about living elsewhere or even hiding.

From now on, the group could act much more freely!

...

After familiarizing himself with his new home, Vicente left Nina and Eve behind and set out to solve two of the many problems he had in the city.

He already knew that Layla was in the city with Jasmine. Still, he didn't want to meet them yet so as not to evoke unnecessary suspicion. Even if they weren't public allies, it wasn't impossible that some power of Millfall had noticed something and that such a contact so soon after their arrival in Saltstar City could damage them.

However, Vicente had a publicly known relationship with Nova and was a disciple of Benson King. These two were currently in Saltstar City, so he went looking for them on his first day there.

After a few minutes of walking around downtown, using his device to protect the appearance of his Magic Gems, Vicente arrived at the grandiose headquarters of the army.

Unlike the Millfall Post, which had only one battalion and one Commandant, the Saltstar City Post had a total of five battalions with six Commandants.

The sixth Commandant was the overall leader of the post, above the leaders of the city's five battalions.

As a result, the building of this army post was huge, several times larger than the post in Millfall.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" A soldier asked Vicente when he saw the young man standing in front of the entrance to this unit.

Civilians were rarely allowed to enter army headquarters, so the entrance to this royal post was very well guarded, and the mere fact of approaching it was enough to attract the attention of many guards.

'This place looks much harder to break into than Millfall's...' Vicente thought, considering how this might stand in his way if he ever needed to break into it. 'But I guess with my third skill, I could easily get soldiers to act on my behalf.'

Then he replied. "Hello, my name is Vicente Fuller. I'm looking for Commandabt Bain. Could you tell her that I'm looking for her?"

"Commandant Bain?" Surprised, the soldier immediately thought of Nova's face, aware of this new commander who had just been transferred to this post. "What do you want with her?"

"It's a personal matter. We're a couple. I wanted to talk to her about something important."

"I see. Wait here for a minute. I'll see what I can do." The soldier replied.

Nova was beautiful, but as that soldier at the entrance had little talent and prospects, he didn't have unrealistic dreams, much less would he stand in this person's way.

If Nova was engaged, that was one less option for a young Captain like him. But that wasn't enough for him to worry about getting in Vicente's way.

After a few minutes of waiting, Vicente saw Nova appear at the entrance of the local headquarters, coming toward him with a surprised but delighted expression on her face.

"Vicente!" She called as she ran in front of him, barely able to contain her happiness to see him alive and doing something she shouldn't have done in that place.

"It's good to see you, Nova. I hope I didn't worry you too much." He smiled at her, understanding what she must have been thinking.

Unlike other people who had agreements with him, Nova had kept her promises, and he had kept his duties concerned with their contract, which basically completed their Magic Agreement.

Magic Agreements usually lose their validity when all clauses are fulfilled. The only way to avoid this was to use special clauses, something Nova wouldn't accept in the agreement she had made with Cesar.

That was exactly why their agreement was finalized when she sent the information Vicente wanted and why she had no way of knowing if he was alive or not after the latest news.

Seeing her there, she was surprised and relieved, happy not to have lost this man she loved.

They didn't hug or kiss there, but their words to each other were enough for their first meeting after so long without seeing each other.

"I'm sorry for the things I said earlier. I've thought it over, and I don't want you out of my life, Vicente. I hope we can return to how things were in Millfall."

He told her in a serious tone. "I'm the one who apologizes for everything. Including what happened recently." He spoke in a way that would be difficult for other people to understand. "I was forced into a bad situation and had no choice... That's why I came to Saltstar City to live here."

"Sigh... I know. I've heard some rumors about that." She stated, already aware that a Sovereign had died in Millfall shortly before the fall of the Mazzanti family, a clear sign of Cesar's involvement in such a death.

"Don't worry about me. I haven't done anything to hurt you." She said quietly. "We'll talk more about it later, but whatever it is, I'll stand by you."

"Thank you for your understanding, Nova. I've been forced to do things I didn't want or plan to do. I hope to have a different journey in this city." He said sincerely, looking into her blue eyes.

"Me too." She sighed, her heart finally settling a little. "I assume Nina came with you, right? Where is she? How is she with all this?"

"She's fine. She's getting to know the new house." He smiled. "She's also excited to start learning from her master and a little worried about the academy she'll be studying at."

"That's natural. I'll talk to her tomorrow... Actually, I'll be busy until later. So how about we meet in the evening to talk more privately?" She asked, wanting to do this as soon as possible...

"That's fine. This is the address where I'll be staying from now on." He handed a note to her before saying goodbye, looking forward to seeing her again later.
