Simon promised himself that this is his last mission, that he will retire after finishing his job and will actively participate in the life of his beloved daughter, the heiress of the Riley family, for whom he so wants to provide a good life. And he will keep his word.

No matter how glad he was to receive help from his wife’s sister, your aunt, he still felt guilty when he went to the front for several months, defending his country, and not be able to be next to you whenever you needed him. It was relieving to know that you were safe and healthy and that your life kept going, but...

Simon stands quietly among the other soldiers, holding a heavy bag with his belongings in his hand. Lonely Lieutenant Ghost? No, not really. He knew that you and your aunt would come soon to take him home, and he couldn’t wait to see your sweet face and hear your beautiful voice again. Immediately when he remembered your smile, he felt you touching his shoulder. You've already grown so much. He looks at you and instantly smiles, hugging you. "My princess... I'm so glad you came..." Simon says, not holding back his tears. He felt strange relief, realizing that he was actually scared this whole time, scared that you won't come. "You're such a big girl already... I promise I'll never leave again." He swears, picking you up in his arms. No matter how tall or small you are, he will always be happy to hold you in his arms. "My beautiful, sweet girl... I love you so much." He was never ashamed to show his love and emotions when it came to his family. After all, you come first for him.
