A fleeting glimmer of delight flashed in Nicolas’s eyes. Maintaining his composure, he offered Willow a gentle smile.

“There’s no hurry. Just focus on recovering first Nicolas said gently

Hearing Nicolas’s words, Willow’s heart swelled with even deeper gratitude.

She thought, “No one in this world could ever treat me better than Nicola

‘Til share everything I know about the secret weapon

“Once he’s built up his forces and storms Pidence City, that will be Athena’s ultimate demise

From not far away, two figures come running toward Willow.

“Willow. It’s really Willow. Nicolas brought her back!” Their voices carried over before they even got close.

Matthew and Joseph’s faces were alight with excitement.

They rushed forward and pulled Willow into a tight embrace “Willow. Thank goodness you’re

Joseph said with tears welling up in his eyes, “thought I’d never see you again Through gritted teeth, be added, “it’s all that bitch Athena’s doing. If not for her, the duke’s estate wouldn’t have ended up like this”

Mother was murdered by Athena. I swear I’ll avenge her.”

Matthew and Joseph’s eyes were red–rimmed with fury, their hatred for Athena burning like poison in their veins.

Willow looked at the two of them, tears silently streaming down her face. “I never thought I’d live to see you both again, Joseph, Matthew,” she murmured

“Let’s continue this inside,” Nicolas said decisively.

The group entered the house. Though the stronghold was nothing like the lavish duke’s estate, it had all the necessities.

In fact, to welcome Willow back, they had even prepared a cozy private courtyard just for her, complete with two maids to attend to her every need.

Henry was dressed in coarse garments, looking utterly dejected.

But when he saw Willow, a glimmer of hope it up his eyes. “It’s good you’re back.”

Surrounded by her family, Willow once again felt the warmth of being favored.

As she recounted the hardships she had endured along the way, her brothers listened with tears streaming down their faces.

Only after Willow had finished pouring out her sorrows did Nicolas finally ask about the weapon she had mentioned.

Willow looked at them and declared, “If we can actually build this thing, it be truly unstoppable. It’s capable of leveling an entire city with ease. Its power is unmatched!”

“Willow, is this for real?” Matthew asked excited

“Absolutely true. I call it a ‘cannon,” Willow said firmly. “But building something like this requires massive amounts of charcoal, suttur, and saltpete She paused, then added gravely. “Without sufficient funds, I’m afraid it would be impossible to complete.”

Nicolas and Henry exchanged a glance, bath falling into heavy silence.

What they desperately needed now was money

At that moment, Joseph suggested. Tve got a way to get rich quick. It’s a bit risky, but if we pull it off, we’ll be swimming in mong

“Oh? What is it?” Henry asked eagerly

“Gold mine,” Joseph múnmured darkly.

At this, everyone frowned.

Nicolas sighed. “We’ve been searching for that gold mine all along, but so far there’s been no news. Finding a gold mine is easier said than done.”

Just then, one of Nicolas’s confidants slipped in and leaned in to whisper, “We’ve got a lead on the gold mine

“Where did this lead come from? Nicolas asked, his eyes widening in surprise.

The servant said, “Athena discovered a gold mine while relocating her mother’s grave and reported it to the King Overjoyed, he granted her the lef Duchess, I have also learned that General Perkins has safely arrived in Pidence City and has formally reunited with Athena”

Willow’s face twisted with rage when she heard the news. “A Duchess? She actually became a Duchess! That bitch deserves to die more than anyone!”
