Chapter 41: Farewell with Fondue

After lunch, everyone scattered around the scenic surroundings of the Phoenix Pavilion. The crowd broke into smaller groups to chatter.

I tried my best to evade the General and Runi as I searched for my father.

My father has been talking to some veterans by the pond. I approached him even if he’s been talking to the small crowd, thinking that I’ll linger until he might be available.

When my father saw me standing by, he excused himself. The veterans scattered and walked away, still holding their glasses of champagne.

I greeted him with a hug. Back at the luncheon table, I couldn’t just hug and talk to him about personal matters especially with the General’s presence.

“Natalia, how are you? I’ve heard about the accident with the Flag Officer,” he stated.

I smirked. “Flag Officer Kendra hurt herself protecting me.”
