Mona smiled nonchalantly just then. "Could you be hesitant to take me in because of Haply Hall? Don't

worry—I'll cut ties with them right now."

Mona whipped out his phone right then and dialed a number, speaking as soon as she picked up,

"Hello, elder? Just calling to tell you that I'm leaving the sect. Yeah, so don't call me ever again, or

Frank might misunderstand."

"Oh, nothing much—I just fell out of love. See you, and don't call me ever again."

"Yeah, all the best. No love lost."

Frank and Burt were left trading glances as Mona hung up, and she shrugged innocently. "What? Is

that so weird?"

"Can I just ask... How many boyfriends have you had before?" Burt teased. "Your scumbag lines for

break-ups are impeccable."

Mona rolled her eyes. "Boyfriends? What are you talking about? I'm just a kid."

Frank was left burying his face in his palms. -

It had been a long day, and Frank eventually drove back to Riverton when it was almost evening.

He stopped by Flora Hall, leaving Burt there and telling him, "Take your time to rest and recuperate

here. I'll have someone deliver an Ichor Pill in a couple of days—it'll restore your meridian nexus and

improve you to Birthright rank."

"Thank you, Mr. Lawrence," Burt said gratefully.

Frank shook his head. "No, I'm your brother-in-sect from now on."

After the battle against Sage Lake Sect, Frank was utterly convinced of Burt's loyalty.

He first set things in motion by sacrificing himself, having some ribs broken as bait so that Bocek

Ocean believed him. And then when the fighting started, he was determined to help Frank.

"T-Thank you, brother!" Burt exclaimed just then, his tone earnest despite his seniority.

He was even more pleased than when he learned that his meridian nexus could recover!

As Frank brought Mona home to Skywater Bay, she was talking endlessly.

"Welcome back, Frank!" Winter was waiting for him.

However, when she saw Mona poking her head out behind Frank in curiosity, her voice turned shrill

unwittingly. "Who is she, Frank?"

"Hello, I'm Mona. You're Frank's sister—Winter, was it?" Mona introduced herself. "Oh, Frank found me

homeless on the streets, so he took me in, saying I will be your bodyguard."

"Bodyguard?" Winter stared at Frank in curiosity even as Mona shook her hand with a vice-like grip.

Frank actually came up with that idea on the way home. It was ideal as well, since the girls were

around the same age and would definitely hit it off.

Trevor Zurich had sent more bodyguards to watch over Winter and Carol Zims after the mess with the

Lanes before. However, having Mona was doubled insurance since she was of Birthright rank and

much stronger than those bodyguards.

Winter was also relieved to see soon enough that Mona was no rival despite her eccentricity and

happily brought her inside, introducing Mona to her mother.

Even before Frank took his seat at the dining table, Mona started wolfing down everything while

exclaiming, "Wow, this is all so delicious! Amazing... My grandpa and I never really get full stomachs

since we're always on the road. All hail Madam Zims!"

Winter and Carol were actually sympathetic upon hearing that Mona never usually ate her fill and

quickly encouraged her to eat more.

For her part, Mona was not shy, eventually eating directly from the pasta pot as she crouched on the

chair, her lips greasy from all the food.
