Chapter 242 – #241 My Daughter Received a Marriage Proposal

The spirit world where spirits live.

The demon world where demons live.

And the heavenly world where the Elyos live.

Unlike dimensions where a single race resides, in Middle-Earth, multiple races coexist in harmony.

Among them, dragons, along with the giants, are a species classified as the strongest creature in Middle-earth.

This is because, although it is large, it has abilities so outstanding that it is called the lord of magic, and also because all dragons naturally become aware of their status as demi-gods as they reach adulthood.

However, dragons have little sex drive, are stubborn, and are lazy.

So they don’t have many children in their lifetime.

Even if they do have one, only a few are raised under strict management, and only then can the dragon, which has become a demi-god under its mother’s protection, escape from the shadow of its parents and create its own home.

He created a rare by driving out other races and claimed himself as its owner… Most of the famous rough terrains are named after the dragons.

Kallios Mountains. Othello Desert. Avantash Sea, etc.

Among them, the blue dragon Avantash was a tyrant located in the southern sea of ​​the continent.

The master of the southern seas who sank countless ships and drowned countless humans.

The original owner of the Avantash Sea was Themis, Queen of the Mermaids, but Avantash, who joined forces with the Queen of Elves to take over the sea, succeeded in sealing Themis and her children in the Kraken about a thousand years ago, and became the owner of the sea.

‘Okay. Because of that… In conclusion, Avantash is no different from an enemy to Themis.’

But the enemy’s son proposes to his daughter?

I thought of Themis’ face for a moment and shook my head.

“I’m sorry, but that marriage proposal…”

“Father!”

The moment I was about to refuse, the boy suddenly grabbed my hand and shouted.

Thanks to this, people around us looked at us with curiosity.

“Huh?”

“What. What’s going on?”

In it, a boy knelt down in front of me.

– Oot?

“Hey. What are you doing…”

“Father! Please allow my relationship with Wol-i!”

“What?”

“It can’t be anything other than that Wol-i! I really want to date that Wol-i. I want to get married! Please give me permission, father!”

A boy named Rechardo lay down in front of me and placed his forehead on the floor.

As the young man, who was well-dressed like a nobleman, said this, people quickly gathered around to see this rare sight.

“Wow. That young man is handsome?”

“That’s right. Oh, my. Look at the woman too. They are a very handsome man and a beautiful woman couple!”

“It suits you perfectly!”

“…”

… Confusing. And I get a little angry.

Of course, Wol-i is a child who was born less than a year ago.

The boy who said he wanted to hang out with my young daughter was ridiculous, and I was annoyed when I saw people shouting that it was suitable.

‘Ha. My heart suddenly feels tight. Are you just going to sweep it all away?’

– Haha. Aslan, calm down. Those are words that come out because Wol-i is perfect. Don’t worry too much.

‘Still…’

– And after all, isn’t the opinion of the person involved the most important in this matter? Huh?

That’s it, but.

I looked at Woli who was right next to me. The child, feeling my gaze, turned to me and smiled brightly.

… You can see it at a glance. I have no idea.

– Hey. Anyway, let’s get out of here for now. First, get the kid who is talking about rechardo to his feet. Word of mouth goes up and down for no reason at an important time.

There is still no information about Wol-i floating around in the world.

Only the four women who sleep with me know that I have children.

‘Truly mine. I can’t believe the day will come when Perez will give me such normal advice. It’s truly something to live for a long time to see.’

Well, that probably means I’m out of my mind right now.

So much so that I can’t even tell myself properly.

“First, let’s eat something and talk. Don’t be a public spectacle outside on this cold day.”

“Then do you give permission, father?”

“…”

I pulled Wol by her arm. The boy quickly got up from his seat and followed behind us.

There was no suitable place to avoid people’s eyes, so I asked Belius for permission and temporarily rented a guest room in the castle.

Sitting around a table, we each lifted the teacups in front of us.

“Wow. Is this black tea? It’s delicious!”

After drinking coffee, my complicated thoughts gradually become more organized. I calmed my mind to the scent I could feel at the tip of my nose.

Meanwhile, Wol-i sipped his tea and smiled brightly. She put down her own teacup and brought her hand to the glass that her rechardo was holding.

“Rechardo. Give me some of yours. Guaranteed taste!”

“Yes. Here.”

“…”

As she said earlier, Wol-i is a child who is not even a year old. Everything in the world is amazing and interesting.

Perhaps every single food in human society was amazing.

‘But you stole someone else’s tea and tasted it…’

It may have been rude enough, but as if it always happened, Rechardo had a peaceful smile on her face.
No, is it because I’m in love?

– I also vote for that opinion. Our Woli must be pretty! But Wall doesn’t seem to care that much. There’s so much honey dripping from her eyes.

Certainly, Wall treated the boy named Rechardo as if he were treating himself very comfortably, and he didn’t seem to have any special feelings for him.

Maybe it was because there were still too many things around her to stimulate her curiosity to develop feelings of love.

Anyway, once my thoughts and mind calmed down, I figured out what to do about these two. First, let’s ask a few questions and confirm.

“Did you say Rechardo?”

“Yes, father.”

“How old are you this year?”

The boy looked back at me with a face full of tension.

This guy is a dragon. A long-lived race that lives for an average of 12,000 years.

Of course, once Wol-i realizes that he is a demi-god, he will live long enough, so the age difference of tens or hundreds of years does not mean much…

For someone who had penetrated human society and understood its customs, this question would have been quite embarrassing.

For humans, that level of difference is enough to give up on love.

“This year… I’m 51.”

Rechardo looked at me while swallowing dry saliva.

“Um… We’re 51 years apart…”

“Huh? 51 years difference? That’s not it… I’m 51, father.”

After hearing the answer, Wol-i laughs next to him.

“Fool. I’m still 0 years old, right? So, the difference is 51 years, right. You’ve been alive for 51 years, and you don’t even know that? Rechardo is weak at calculations, isn’t he?”

“Huh?”

Rechardo’s eyes widen.

I bet you couldn’t even imagine that she was less than a year old with that appearance.

Wol-i sips again the jasmine tea he took from Rechardo and opens his eyes wide. A smile blooms on my face.

“Wow. This tea is delicious. But the scent is unique!”

Rechardo looked back at me with a puzzled face.

But his expression turned upside down once again at my answer.

“Well, a 50-year difference isn’t that big.”

“Yes?”

– I know. I still expected there to be a difference of more than 500 years.

Now that I see it, the boy in front of me is still a full-blown hatchling, right? I wonder how it came out of rare.

When I asked him, the answer was this.

“Well, that… I begged her mom to move out the year before last. It was so boring at home…”

“Did your mom allow it?”

“I was granted permission on the condition that I attend the Imperial Academy. They say it is the safest place in human society these days…”

The Academy is definitely the safest in the Kshanberg Empire.

Wasn’t Freyr also trapped there the whole time?

‘Anyway, I think the age issue is okay.’

There are two left.

“It’s the month.”

“Yes. Why?”

Wol looks back at me and smiles.

I don’t know if it’s right to ask this thoughtless child, but for as long as I can remember, I have made my own decisions and been responsible for my actions.

So, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to ask your doctor.

“What do you think about marrying Rechardo?”

“Marriage with Rechardo?”

Wol tilted his head at my question. Rechardo swallowed dryly and focused on Wol-i.

“Marriage? What is that? Eating?”

Also… Maybe it’s still too early.

– Hey. If you don’t know a word, just teach it.

I didn’t know if I should go to the trouble of asking, but looking at my daughter’s face as she waited for my answer with her bright eyes, I thought I should explain it first.
I cleared my throat and spoke.

“You married Mom and Dad and gave birth to Wol, Hwa, and Su. That’s what marriage is like.”

“Oh, I know that! So when I get married, will I become a mother?”

“What… Right?”

“Oooooh!”

My daughter suddenly gasped and raised her index finger.

“I played the role of a mother a lot when I was playing house! I’m a good mother!”

“So?”

Then, Rechardo next to me said something.

“Wol. Do you have any brothers? I’m jealous. I sleep alone…”

“Really?”

“Yeah… I eat alone, I play house alone…”

“What should I do with Rechar? I feel sorry for him.”

The boy lowering his head and crying, and my daughter stroking her head with a sad expression.

‘… They’re both still kids.’

I can’t believe I’m seriously thinking about these two little kids talking about a marriage proposal or marriage.

Suddenly, I feel sorry for myself. Maybe, from their perspective, it didn’t mean marriage, but just making friends.

“So… What do you want to do with Wall?”

“Me? Ugh. It’s fun for me too to play and run around with Rechardo…”

“But?”

“I like my dad better. I’m going to marry him when I grow up!”

Ugh. Suddenly, my heart becomes abundant.

Aren’t the fathers of the world living to hear this one word from their daughters?

“Well, like that…”

At Wol-i’s answer, Rechardo became depressed.

Wol-i must have looked quite sad, so he poked the boy’s head with his index finger and asked.

“Are you upset because I didn’t get married?”

“I’m not upset…”

“Are you crying?”

“Oh, I’m not crying!”

… I’m crying.

Ha. When Rechardo cries, Wol-i cries too.

They say that when one child cries, everyone else cries… That was exactly right. I rested my chin and watched the two crying boys and girls.

“Don’t cry. If you don’t want to eat alone… I will marry you!”

“Really? Sniffle.”

– What the hell. The theme of kids, new school, and romance… It’s a quick drama.

Anyway, that was the conclusion.

Wally and Rechardo wanted to get married.

“Then, father, do you allow us to get married?”

“Let’s get engaged first, wait for about 10 years, and then think about it.”

At that level, we will know everything there is to know about each other.

In response to my answer, Rechardo bowed with a bright face.

“Thank you! Thank you, father!”

“There’s no need to thank me anymore. I haven’t given permission yet.”

“Yes? Then…”

He puts his hand into his jacket and takes out a pendant. It was a necklace that could be immediately transported to Themis and the children when used.

“I got my father’s permission, so I should get my mother’s permission too.”

Rechardo nodded with a stern expression, saying he understood what he meant.

“Yes. Then when can I get ready, father?”

“Let’s go right away tomorrow.”

– Tomorrow? Is it okay though? We have to resolve the Halstenberg issue, right?

‘Ah. Don’t worry. ‘Because I’m going to solve that problem.’

– What does that mean?

4 Banhanil’s food.

In the north, where the cold and barren mountains are located, you can never get that much food.

But it’s different in the south. Finding that much food in Florian, where there was no snow even in the middle of winter, was no problem.

‘The problem is how to transport the obtained food…’

Florian is the southernmost point of the empire.

Halstenberg is the northernmost point of the empire.

– Aslan. No matter how fast it flies, it will take 3 weeks?

‘That’s why we’re going together.’

– Huh?

Instead of answering, I focused on Rechardo.

Perez read my thoughts and burst into laughter.
