Chapter 480 Little Han Is A Big Boy!
"Oh! I get it!" Calderon finally understood but another question formed in his head once again and asked, "Though I think that you no longer need to convince Little Han too right? Grandmaster Andvari has already told his parents and the only thing left is for them to agree."
"Yes, but we are not sure yet if the couple would want to," Calderon replied.
"But how will we convince Little Han to go?" Elifas asked,
"I already have an idea!" Calderon looked at him confidently.
Since his friend had already planned it out, Elifas no longer asked. He only gave a look that he understood and would just wait for him to move.
Soon the kids started to grow weary. They looked at the servants with teary eyes and told them that they were hungry.
The servants then prepared for lunch and the kid's nap time. Elifas and Calderon stayed behind and saw that Little Han did not have any plan for napping.
Instead, he sat on the plushie playground area, busying himself with taking out all kinds of warming clothing and materials and swirling it all on Wisey's dormant egg form.
Looking at the seemingly lonesome figure of the little toddler, Elifas and Calderon looked at each other, it seems like the child only wanted for the egg to hatch and become fine.
Calderon signaled Elifas and the two then entered the plushie playground to join Little Han.
"Little Han…" the Dragon lad called out, "You're still waiting for Wisey to hatch?"
The toddler paused and lifted his head towards the approaching teenagers. He blinked and looked at the unmoving head once more before he replied in a childish voice,
"Yesh… Sisi plays with Johann… Sisi also pwotects mommy…" he added.
Calderon and Elifas came to know from Azayn, that Wisey was Eli's contracted owner, and in order to protect her from the sinister spirit fragment, it sacrificed itself and turned to this state.
"But your dragon nest is already warm enough for Wisey's egg." Elifas asked.
Little Han could only shake his head and reply, "Not enuf…"
"Mommi needs Sisi…" He said as his eyes moistened in tears, "Johann miss Sisi too…"
Calderon could not help but pity the child. Fortunately, his intentions align with what Little Han wanted and needed at the moment, so he did not feel guilty about using Little Han to ensure that the trip to the Green Wave will push through.
After all, the very reason for Little Han to go to the Green Wave is to keep him safe at the end of the day, he thought.
"Don't worry Big Brother has an idea…" Calderon then patted Little Han's red head.
"Weally Big Bwother?" Little Han asked.
"Yes… We can bring Wisey to my Grandpa, he is a mighty dragon! I'm sure he can do something to wake Wisey up…
But… that means that you will be away from your mommy and daddy for a long time. Because my Grandpa's place is very very far." He added.
In Calderon's first sentence, Little Han's eyes shined with hope, but upon hearing that the place is far and he would be away from his parents, his mood dropped.
"Oh…" Little Han muttered with a crestfallen expression.
"Don't be sad, Little Han… We will be with you there, Estelle, Benson, and the rest too. Besides, your mommy and daddy will have to go to another faraway place to fight the bad guys."
"Bad guys…" Little Han thought deeply, he knew that his mommy and daddy would always go somewhere far to take away the bad guys and immediately understood Calderon's words.
"Yes… and if Wisey does not wake up, no one will protect your mommy from the bad guys." Calderon continued, "Do you want your mommy to get hurt?"
"No!!!" Little Han shook his head violently as he answered.
"Then, we have to do something to help Wisey recover, so that she can go back to your mommy's side and protect her…
Would you like that, Little Han, even if you have to go somewhere far?"
Little Han frowned and looked conflicted. He fiddled with his fingers as he appeared to be thinking deeply, "hmmmmmm…."
After some time, he looked at Elifas and Calderon and said, "Owkay… Johann will go to Grandpa Dwagon!"
Hearing Little Han's words Calderon's eyes flickered, but he remained calm. "Alright then! This big brother and your Big Brother Elifas will go with you as well!"
"Owkway!" Little Han pumped his fist as if showing that he was courageous enough in his decision.
After the exchange, the trio did not bring it anymore with the other's presence.
Soon it was night, Eli had already fetched Little Han and Leon also managed to go home early.
Doing their typical routine, dinner, some cozy music playing, and lounging in the living room with some hot drink to share, the family in the cottage seemed to have been peaceful.
However, the news earlier brought anxiety to Eli and Leon's hearts. It occupied their minds the entire day and even caused them to be in a daze multiple times earlier.
Kayden also came to hear the news but chose not to say anything at first because the matter mainly involved the two parents.
However, the three of them agreed to talk about it tonight.
And so after changing Little Han's clothes to sleepwear, Eli and Leon joined him in their prayers to coax him to sleep. Only then will they sneak into the study and discuss the matters in depth.
Explaining everything to Kayden, Leon, and Eli could not help but also ask his opinion.
"There's no better option other than that. After all, the Silver Dew Elves will also join the temporary migration, and we cannot entrust it to either the Imperial Family, the Temple, or the Farauld because their hands were already full.
However, Little Han is your child. I can only tell you what my opinion is, but I have no confidence to say that this is the best option for you." Kayden looked at Leon and Eli and straightforwardly told his thoughts.
For him, there's no point in beating around the bush. Kayden knew that the couple was already aware that Little Han's existence must not be revealed to the curse users in any way.
Especially when they now know that he is not only an offspring of the Seirende's Third Prince but also the future generation of the Asani!
Eli and Leon remained silent, but in their hearts, Kayden's words were on point.
It is not like they have a better choice. They could no longer ask the guardians to interfere because the guardians have explicitly said that they could only do that once.
In the end, the conversation ended with Eli and Leon not having a concrete decision, which Kayden perfectly understood.
"Don't pressure yourselves. You still have a few days to think it through. But most of all, I think the most important thing is explaining to Little Han about your separation once again.
The child is already growing, he is starting to understand things. It is better for you to try to communicate properly with him so that he will have a good foundation." Kayden advised them as he stood up and left the couple to think.
After a while, the two went back to their bedroom, only to see Little Han sitting in bed awake.
"Little Han, how are you still awake my boy?" Eli sat beside him and carried him in her arms.
"Mommi… Daddi…" Little Han looked at his parents and immediately detected their sad moods.
"Yes, our dearest." Leon also sat close to Eli and Little Han making his surroundings become warm.
"Johann iz big boy. Johann will be owkay even if mommi and daddi are away…" Little Han looked up to gaze at his mommy and daddy's faces, he even pulled their hands and held them tightly.
As if he understood the shock on his parents' faces, he repeated his words trying to convince him.
"Daddi and Mommi, go defeat bad guys… Johann will be owkay… Johann will not cwy (cry)..."
"So mommi and daddi… pwease let Johann go with Big Brothers too far far away!"
This time, Eli could not help but shudder in tears. Her son's words did not even comfort her but broke her heart even more.
"Little Han… Oh.. my dear child… I'm sorry mommy is horrible!" She muttered as she cried violently, hugging Little Han's tiny body.
Leon also bit his lips, while they as parents were reluctant to part with their young son, it was his son himself who had decided for himself and expressed his understanding.
Heaven's he is only more than a year old, how could he think so maturely and selflessly like this!
Looking at his son's determined eyes while he clumsily comforted his crying mom, Leon vowed to defeat the enemy and never let these evil ones hinder the peace of their family again!
