Overdue Meetings (Part 4)

"I have already found the perfect opportunity, but I need to work with a commanding officer I can trust. You." Phloria said while looking at him straight in the eyes. 

"I'm so proud of you, my little Flower. It will be an honor for me to help you defend our country and our household." Orion was overjoyed at the idea of working with his daughter.

Phloria had worked hard every day since she was six years old to become a Mage Knight good enough to join the Knight's Guard and work with her old man. She had given up on everything to pursue that dream, only for it to be crushed by Deirus' schemes.

Orion hoped that the mission would give Phloria the opportunity to reconsider her decision of quitting the army and to him a way to spend some time with his family without having to think about Jirni.
