A week ago, during the conference inauguration.
"D…dad."
Staring at the familiar figure standing before her, Emma had many words that she wanted to say.
'Where have you been? How are you doing? Where were you? Why did you leave without telling me?'
For each and every question she had in mind, she was dying to know the answer.
In fact, she felt a little bit of resentment as she thought about all the time that she had spent by herself, without him.
But the moment she gazed into her father's eyes, all the resentment disappeared in a flash.
"Dad!"
Before she knew it, her legs moved on her own and she ran up to her dad. Extending her hands, she hugged him tightly.
Tears streamed down the side of her face as she felt the familiar warmth that she had not felt for a very long time.
She really missed it.
"Emma."
The hug did not last for long however as she was pushed away by her father.
Raising her head and facing her father, she realized that his mood was off.
"...what's wrong?"
She asked. Worried that she might have done something wrong. Fortunately, his next words dispelled all of her worries.
"I'm sorry Emma…I've heard everything about what happened to you and about what Jasper did to you…"
Pausing, Oliver bit his lips hard. Trying to keep himself composed.
Taking a deep breath he stared Emma right in the eyes.
"Emma, I don't have much time so listen carefully."
As he spoke, his voice contained an unprecedented amount of solemness, causing Emma to quickly regain her composure as she nodded her head.
"The reason why I haven't been able to see you as soon as I came here was because I was paying close attention to Jasper."
"Uncle?"
"Yes."
Oliver nodded his head.
"As you already know, Jasper hates my guts. This was something that had carried on ever since we were young as he would always try to make trouble for me."
Emma nodded her head at his words.
She already knew about the relationship between the two.
The hatred that Jasper had for her father was something that almost everyone in the household knew.
Lowering his head, Oliver stared at his watch.
"Anyways, back on topic. In short, I've been spending my time closely watching Jasper, and I know for a fact that he's trying to pull something on you. You probably felt it too, right?"
"Yes."
Emma nodded her head.
Ever since arriving in Issanor, she felt that her uncle was planning something. She just couldn't understand what he was planning.
Staring at his daughter, Oliver continued.
