The following day, Raine woke up in Tyrone\'s arms. Looking at his sleeping form, she smiled because it was the first time she actually woke up earlier than he did. This time, it was her turn to stare at his handsome sleeping face. Everything in him was perfect. Even the minute flaws that were easily negligible were still so desirable for her.

Her eyes trailed across his facial features, beginning with his eyes as if memorizing every single detail. "How come no one looks more handsome than you in my eyes?" she mumbled with a pout.

She and Tyrone discussed a lot of things last night, and one of them was Tyrone\'s suggestion to mark her and complete their union. He explained how marking her would solidify their physical and emotional connection. He said that he could easily protect her from any harm that might come her way by doing so. By the end of it, he simply wanted her to think seriously about his offer and consider it in a positive light.

Raine let out a long sigh as she dwelled in Tyrone\'s warmth. He had plans, and she genuinely trusted him. However, knowing her father\'s propensity and personality, nothing about his plans could be absolutely certain…

Everything would\'ve been easy if she was someone who could easily go against her father, but she was not like that. She owed everything to her father… her life first and foremost… Only a monster would go against someone who gave them life… and she was not a monster.

"Are you satisfied?" Tyrone sluggishly murmured with a smile on his face. Knowing that Raine was in his arms, he had a good night\'s sleep. He pulled Raine closer. With his eyes still closed, he murmured, "How come you woke up earlier today? What time is it?"

"The sun\'s rising, so get up and prepare our breakfast," Raine said with a grin, trying to sound unbothered with the problems looming over their heads. "You have a flight to catch. Work double time, remember?"

At her chiding, Tyrone finally opened his eyes and kissed Raine on the forehead, then moved on to her lips as they started to become passionate with one another. However, the momentum was cut short with the sudden knocking on the door.

Raine broke the kiss as she chuckled, "Our little pup is probably hungry…"

"And worried at not seeing her Mommy by her side," Tyrone added. He then looked at the door and called, "Come inside, Sweetie."

At Tyrone\'s call, Aire opened the door. Upon looking at both of her parents together, the little girl let out a loud, relieved sigh.

"I thought Mommy left us already. Thank goodness…" Aire breathed out in relief.

Seeing her daughter, Raine sat on the bed and opened her arms wide, gesturing at Aire to come to her. The latter quickly smiled, pouncing at her on the bed with childlike happiness.

"Do you want to stay with Mommy? Or do you want to go with Daddy back to Country V?" Raine sweetly asked. "He has a lot of things to do there, but you can enjoy more of this island if you stay here with me."

"That\'s just unfair. You make it sound like Aire will enjoy herself more with you than with me," Tyrone complained with a pout, making Raine and Aire laugh together.

"I want to stay with Mommy, of course… Well, Daddy is often with-"

Raine quickly covered Aire\'s mouth, cutting the girl off as she smiled, "No more details from the future, Aire, please?"

She did not want Aire to suffer more in the future if she happened to accidentally utter more words that could alter things.

Aire gulped. It had simply been a slip of the tongue, but what she was about to say before getting stopped was indeed about the future.

"Sorry, Mommy. I didn\'t notice…" Aire apologetically murmured.

The two future parents let out a sigh at their daughter\'s honest mistake. Tyrone shook his head, taking the opportunity to have a more binding agreement between them. "From now on, promise us that you\'ll talk less, okay? This is also why you should stay here with Mommy rather than come with me to Country V with others. You might accidentally spill some information to the rest, right? Let\'s just prevent you from talking about the future before the blue moon. Just to be safe."

Aire could only nod at the sensible suggestion. Seeing his daughter agree, Tyrone finally got up from bed to prepare their breakfast as Raine stayed behind to prepare Aire so that the two of them could properly send Tyrone off the airport for his flight.

Aire was smiling as she stared at her parents at the dining table.

"You two really look good together, Mommy, Daddy. I hope your love story will become a successful one like-" she immediately stopped herself upon seeing the look on both of her parents\' faces. Aire ended up swallowing the remaining words, leaving them unspoken with a sheepish smile.

"I\'ll go visit Yera today in Ken\'s mansion with AIre in her wolf form. That\'s after we drop you off at the airport," Raine informed before giving a wink to her daughter. "She\'ll then help me plant some bugs inside the mansion…"

Yera seemed to like Draki the wolf the last time she saw her, so she was sure that Aire could quickly enter the mansion and do the work.

"That\'s so exciting! Being on a mission with Mommy!" Aire cheerfully exclaimed.

Raine chuckled and affectionately patted Aire on the head, "Right? So go finish your breakfast now."

Aire eagerly nodded. After which, Raine then looked at Tyrone and said, "Just make sure that the mole could quietly do what she needs to do for the military. We have a strict system now, so make sure she won\'t get caught without suspicion." She purposefully enumerated her thoughts as she continued, "Uncle is going all out. He even put Aunt Ester\'s household on house arrest. Dalgon is covering for me, but for now, I should return to see Uncle at the earliest possible time. Maybe right after I put the bugs in the mansion and let Dylan enter the island with two more of my men."

She had already endorsed Dylan and the two squad members to be hired as workers on the island for different fields. Particularly, Dylan would be stationed in the hospital near Yera\'s location, while the other would become one of the servants inside the mansion. If all goes well, the three of them could start in as early as two days.

"I understand." Tyrone nodded in understanding before adding, "Also, about the attack… Don\'t tell the rest to let their guards down till I contain everything from my side…"

There was a loud sigh from Raine as she begrudgingly concurred, "I agree. You might have a hard time dealing with this one, and I absolutely refuse to compromise my people. I will wait till the Mirage Trial… Hopefully, things will be fixed by that time. Or else.... Well, you do know that I\'ll have no other choice but to proceed as planned…"

Tyrone gravely nodded.. He, too, hoped for things to go smoothly as soon as he came back to Country V.
