The plan to evolve Aunt Mia and Lily would be brought forward. Alongside that would come evolving his undead. Jester in particular was the only one still at Rank 2, and unlike the others, evolving him carried no concerns.
With Jester at Rank 3 or potentially Rank 4 if circumstances allowed, combined with another undead at Rank 4 and his family having cultivated power of their own, Michael believed that level of protection would be enough to keep them safe in Aurora while he was away.
"It would be best if Lily can awaken a class within three months. I wonder if the academy can give me that much time before I need to leave."
As Michael sat deep in thought about the future and whether the situation back at the academy had been resolved, Jester came to the sitting room, pulling Michael out of his thoughts.
Jester inclined his head slightly. "Welcome back, Master."
Michael's gaze lingered on him for a moment, his expression turning somewhat odd.
