Chapter 293
Gavin and Aidan’s manager had already flown to Aethelgard to kick off the promotional campaign. The posters proudly announced that the legendary songwriter, Lune, would make a special appearance at the concert.
The moment the news broke, the concert was guaranteed to be a massive, sold-out
success.
Who was the mysterious Lune? A god-tier composer whose every release became an instant chart-topper.
The public had been dying to know the true identity behind the music.
It wasn’t just the fans in Aethelgard; people from all over the country were booking flights, desperate to catch the first glimpse of Lune in person.
Mira called Harvey Rivers, asking if his family had any connections in Aethelgard.
“My dad definitely does. I’ll ask him. But you have to take me with you. I want to go too p>
“I can take you, but only on the condition that you’re actually useful. I don’t drag dead weight around p>
“You got it! I’ll definitely make myself useful p>
After hanging up with Harvey, she dialed Owen Lance.
“I’ll ask you one last time. Are you coming to Aethelgard with me or not p>
“I’m not going p>
“I just don’t get it. What are you so terrified of? Is someone out to kill you p>
With a powerhouse like Master Ellis backing him, even an assassination attempt shouldn’t scare him off.
Mira was genuinely baffled.
“Exactly! What are you so scared of p>
Master Ellis, standing nearby, chimed in, glaring at Owen.
“With your skills, who could possibly bully you? You don’t want to see your relatives? Then cut them off. Simple. This is why you’ll never measure up to Mira. You overthink everything, and you still refuse to admit it p>
“Look at how free she is! Toxic family? Cut them off. No money? Earn it herself. It won’t be long before she outshines everyone. In both wealth and influence, she’ll be untouchable. Just you wait and see p>
Master Ellis smirked, his face radiating absolute pride.
Owen used to be his greatest source of pride, but ever since Mira joined the fold, Owen had been thoroughly sidelined.
Taking her on as an apprentice was the best decision he had made in his entire life.
Master Ellis lounged on the sofa, thinking out loud. “If you won’t go, Harvey is practically begging for a spot. That kid is sharp; he knows sticking with my apprentice is his ticket to the top content
“She has never been to Aethelgard. Are you really going to let her walk into the lion’s den alone p>
“Alright, enough. I’ll go p>
His mentor was right. There was nothing to fear. Once you stopped caring, none of it mattered anymore.
“Figured it out? Hahaha, good man. Call Ronan Creed and have him book an extra ticket right now p>
Early the next morning, Silas Vane and Jax Weaver arrived to pick Mira up.
Yes, these were the two elite bodyguards Master Ellis had tracked down for her. They would be her personal security detail for the trip.
Mira had heard from Master Ellis that their combat skills far surpassed the Iron Wolves.
The only problem was that Mira wasn’t a fan of their eccentric fashion sense. Jax, in particular, sported a messy braided ponytail that looked completely rigliculouson a grown man.
She had previously asked Master Ellis to see if they’d be willing to cut their hair— even a buzzcut would be better.
Unfortunately, they had point-blank refused, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Master Ellis had told her, “They’re
bodyguards. As long as they can fight, that’s what matters. Talent like
theirs is rare. Besides their looks
don’t affect their performance. worst, they just look a bit weird p>
Fine. She’d defer to her mentor on this one.
Once they reached Aethelgard, the Iron Wolves would have to focus on protecting Owen, so she needed Silas and Jax.
When the two men arrived, they brought someone else along. His name was Zane, another operative arranged by Master Ellis. His job was to protect Rachel and guard Mira’s home.
Rachel was just the housekeeper, but she was deeply important to Mira. If her enemies wanted to strike a nerve, they wouldn’t hesitate to play dirty.
It would be a repeat of the ugly incident at the Mercer residence.
Even with Master Ellis keeping an eye on things, Rachel was an ordinary woman. If she encountered real professionals, she wouldn’t even have the chance to make a distress call.
