'Ping: Host, you have completed the task of earning the family sigil.' Leo was surprised, and Lily reached beside Snow, who was reading a message on Leo's phone. She said, "I was sitting here when the phone rang, I accepted the call and it was from the Central Ministry of Internal Affairs. The secretary said that we have earned the white sigil for the family." Lily was surprised and asked, "What? We have a sigil?" Snow pinched her cheeks gently and said, "Yes, that's what you wanted, right?" Lily nodded and jumped in Snow's embrace. The latter saw that Leo was still standing in a daze, and said, "Lily, your Baba worked hard to get fulfil your wish. Don't you have to say something to him?" Lily raised her head and then she moved closer to Leo, and tugged on his pants. Leo looked at her, and Lily said, "Baba, thank you." Leo smiled, hearing her sweet voice, he felt that all these efforts were worth it. Even if his daughter asked for his heart, he would not hesitate. He picked her up in his arms and said, "The pleasure is all mine, my love." Leo had gained a reward from the system, it was the boost in reputation. For example,if earlier there were ten people who knew him, now there were hundred people who knew him. The young man said, "Well, Snow, can you tell me what are the things that we have to keep in mind and what is the meaning of the white Sigil?" Snow replied with a smile, "White Sigil is grade one sigil among the different levels of sigils in the country. There are seven different levels, in an ascending order, they are White, Titanium, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Amethyst, and lastly, Red." Leo frowned hearing that the highest color of the sigil was red, Snow said, "While White Sigil gives us some tax reliefs, Titanium gives us some honorary positions in the regional government. The silver level wavers fifty percent of income tax, gold allows us to participate in high level projects with the government. Diamond allows us to represent the nation on a global scale, and Amethyst allows us to gain some military commanding ability in times of war. Red is the reference to blood which allows us to get away with one death penalty." Leo raised his brows and said, "Well, it sounds nice, but I am sure we cannot just do it with charity only." Snow nodded and replied, "You need to read this message they sent to you." Leo placed Lily down on the ground and then he took the phone to read and analyze the message recorded in it. After a few minutes, when he finished reading, he was surprised and said, "Well, good, we might not have such a hard time raising the level." Snow rolled her eyes and Lily cheered. The young man saw them and said, "Well, since we have gained the Sigil, how about I cook for everyone?" Lily stood up on the couch and said, "I want scramble eggs." Leo saluted her and said, "Yes, your highness." The two of them went inside the kitchen playing to their own tune leaving behind Snow who mumbled, "They both are kids, oh god, help me." Anastasia and Fragrance also appeared after half an hour, Snow shared the news and they were surprised and happy. They would have less trouble with their business now. Anastasia asked, "When is the officiating ceremony?" Snow said, "After a week, Leo will have to visit the president's office where the President of the nation will officiate the white Sigil. It won't be a big party or an event. There would be an award giving ceremony for the fallen soldiers and in the end they will give Leo the documents. He can bring in a plus one." Anastasia sighed and said, "I don't even have to guess who would be going." Snow chuckled and said, "I am not sure if she would agree, after all, her slave father has never asked her to do something she didn't like." Fragrance chuckled and said, "I never thought that someone would have so much power over him, but then again it is not bad to see him like this." The three ladies chuckled while Leo and Lily cooked a lot of food, Lily wanted to give out meals to the guards as they were very busy these days, and she wanted to thank them for keeping Leo safe. She was a child, and didn't know that her father was now as strong as a stud. After the meal, Leo said, "We have to provide the internal affairs office with the sigil design within five days. If anyone has any ideas please tell me, or I will go and handle it on my own." Lily thought and said, "I have a design." Snow and Leo looked at her, as the little girl went to her room and came back with the paper and a pen. She gave the pen and paper to Leo and said, "Baba, can you make a design as I tell you?" Leo nodded and Lily said, "The sigil should be engraved upon a shield, right?" Leo nodded and the little girl said, "Make a Lion head here, and then hide the lower right side behind a lily flower, and on the top of the lily flower, add a small shining snowflake." Leo did as he was told and after a few minutes, the design was ready. Snow looked at it and said, "My baby is a genius." Leo nodded seriously and said, "I will have someone refine it and give it the officials. What say?" Lily nodded and said, "I need to practice more to refine my skills." That said she went inside her room and began to sketch. She was not yet good with detailing the small things, after all, how awesome can a four year old be without having any professional training? Snow and Leo retired to the bedroom but tonight the young man didn't let the lady sleep. He feasted on her, and she melted in his embrace. ... In the morning, Leo woke up and went out for a run with Lily, and he found that his neighbors, who rarely even nodded, were waving at them and wishing them a good morning. The young man didn't mind, and reciprocated the greeting. Lily on the other hand, enjoyed the vanity. The old rich people loved her innocent smiles, they cheered for her to run harder and some gave out fruits. Leo smiled and accepted the fruits, but his cautious nature made sure that none of the fruits are fed to Lily. Who knew what sort of contamination was there. After a few minutes, the young man carried Lily on his shoulder and they ran around for a couple of more laps. Then they headed to the school, with the same security arrangement. With this routine, the days passed quickly. Then came saturday, Leo and Lily were given a brief tour of the Presidential Ceremony Hall, and they were told about the way they have to sit, and where their seats were located, and that was all. Lily and Leo were dressed in a formal suit and dress, when the little girl asked, "Baba, where is the surprise that you told me about a few days ago. It is weekend now." Leo smiled and said, "We will be going there now, don't worry." They came to the airport, Leo boarded his private plane with Lily and they flew away from Angkor City, heading directly to the place where the space shuttle was going to be tested, the airfield behind Utopia Research Center. Thankfully, the place had a hangar for their aircraft to rest in while they conducted tests with the prototype. The flight was a couple of hours long and they soon landed on the tarmac. After the plane was parked inside the hangar, Leo and Lily came out dressed in winter overalls, the temperature in these mountains was in minus three degrees with strong winds. Lily was akin to an eskimo and a panda together. However, she was not cold. Leo carried her in his arms, thanks to the fact that the weather was clear, and the sun was shining they still had some relief. Leo was taken to the control room, where he met the leading professor with respect and thanked her for her efforts. After initial checks, when everything was green, the project head said, "Spear one, this is command, you are ready to go." The pilot confirmed the command and then the countdown began. Beside the pilot stood Lily. Yes, the pilot was going to control the plane remotely. He smiled and gave Lily a signal and as soon as the count reached one, Lily punched the big green button on the panel, and the plane began to move. After a few minutes, the plane gained stable altitude, then he began to climb at a high speed. It looked like a fighter jet, but the size of the vehicle was enough to carry seven people to the edge of the atmosphere. The press was also here, and after the successful flight test, they broadcasted Leo as a visionary, and Lily liked the whole experience.
