1. The Lady Has Returned! (Seeking Tickets~)
The summit of the various nations has concluded, and the biggest troublemaker, Nilu, has honestly left, bringing once again a return to the calm life around us…
This is the case for others, for the supporting characters, but for me, the lurking crises and various troublesome events have only just begun! Ever since I gloriously ascended from the role of the villain to that of the BOSS, not only have the death scripts multiplied, but even merely interacting with Kephiel has become dangerous. Not to mention that during the previous showdown between Kephiel and Nilu, I impulsively blurted out, “After this battle, let’s get married!”—a statement that cannot be taken back.
Now, even though I have some reservations, seeing Kephiel’s cheerful demeanor, I can’t bring myself to refuse. Well, as long as Kephiel’s protagonist halo is still shining, I won’t face any death scripts. An engagement? Sure, let’s go for it; after all, it’s just about embracing her long, white legs. More importantly: this time, Queen Louise IV has surprisingly not found various excuses to stop it. Could it be that even a dangerous BOSS like Louise IV has come to terms with it?
In any case, everything seems to be going smoothly. At this moment, Kephiel and Uncle Zerola are even discussing whom to invite.
“As for the most important wedding dress, although I’ve already prepared one for you, I’ve heard that the trends among the noble young ladies of the Great Ying Empire change almost every few days, so it’s better to make a new one . I’ll contact the royal tailor who makes new clothes for the queen; just decide on the style, my precious daughter.”
Uncle, who seems to feel like “finally being able to sell the cabbage,” is happily flailing his arms while discussing with Kephiel, completely lacking the demeanor of a former dragon hero, looking rather lewd.
As for me? Knowing nothing and being unable to do anything, I can only stand by and play dead, occasionally catching a shy glance from the great Kephiel.
“I… I don’t know about these things.”
See? I’ve been caught stealing a glance by Kephiel again.
“When Her Majesty the Queen has some free time, let her advocate for you. The queen has always been a trendsetter in the noble circle. Of course, next, I’ll also start notifying those royal relatives in the outer territories. For the first twelve in line of succession to the Louise family, I’ll send invitations to those with whom we have a poor relationship, and directly invite those with whom we have a good relationship.”
“Can you really bring them in…?”
“Of course! Because by then, it won’t just be about the engagement; I’ll also want to show off a bit, letting them see the genius of my precious daughter, who at such a young age is already a rare high -level dual cultivator. Just the other day, it was confirmed that she has reached the eighth tier in magic. Afterward, let your mother teach you more experience; surpassing us is just around the corner! In the future, venturing into the unknown realms of sanctity that have long been untouched holds great promise!”
Uncle is getting more and more excited, but I can’t blame him; after all, Kephiel won the duel against Nilu by breaking through and leveling up. The current Kephiel can no longer be described merely as a genius.
While boasting about his daughter, Uncle naturally hasn’t forgotten to acknowledge my role in assisting Kephiel’s upgrade, albeit to a lesser extent. However, Uncle’s words about me sound a bit strange.
“So, O’Keelid!”
He comes over to me, claps my shoulder with both hands, and says earnestly.
“Don’t rush on the matter of children, but the ‘bip bip bip’ must be done quickly! The Great Ying Empire has been open for many years and no longer needs to adhere to any traditions regarding pre-marital or post-marital customs. I’m a trendsetter, you know!”
I suddenly feel a sense of “danger.” I don’t know if Uncle is a trendsetter, but I know he might be in for some trouble soon.
【Kephiel, feeling shy, gave Zerola a good beating!】
The script appears, and I quickly dodge out of the way! Following closely is the deadly apple, thrown at us by Kephiel, moving at a speed comparable to a bullet! And her flustered words, blushing cheeks betraying her embarrassment.
“Father! Shut up!”
Uncle, clearly not drunk but acting quite tipsy, is still fanning the flames at this point.
With a “smack,” he easily catches the apple that flew over, so fast I barely saw it, and without any emotional intelligence, he waves at his precious daughter, who is already on the verge of embarrassment and fury.
“Don’t be shy, Kephiel. Your father also came from those passionate, fiery years. Appropriate and moderate exercise can actually deepen the bond between two people…”
【Whoosh】
This time, it’s a fruit knife for cutting apples that’s been thrown over, but Uncle catches it perfectly between his two fingers.
“Eugene Li De as well, recently he wants to start doing some waist exercises, like doing 100 sit-ups a day or something. I’ll also have the kitchen prepare more kidneys these days.”
Ha, hahaha… I can’t laugh.
Let’s not even mention whether my current BOSS identity can still entertain such unrealistic fantasies about Ke Fei Er; more importantly, old man, you really have no fear in saying such things, your daughter is already ready to draw her sword.
“L-Let’s talk about it later, definitely next time.”
“What!? Next time!? Look at this!” The old man waved his hand, “What’s wrong with my Ke Fei Er that doesn’t suit your taste?”
Everything suits me, but it’s not your place to say that! Ke Fei Er wants to kill you!
The old man was still reluctant to give up, like a landlord demanding rent, eager to get a blood-stained sheet immediately, while I was still pondering what to do, but the script didn’t provide me with any solutions, instead.. . it revealed some rather unfortunate content.
【Zelora was beaten up!】
It wasn’t my death script, but rather an unfortunate ending for the old man. Just moments ago, Ke Fei Er had already started throwing things at the old man, but he managed to deflect everything with Dragon Ao Tian’s skills, and Ke Fei Er couldn’t even teach her own father a lesson.
The next moment, a maid rushed in from outside, and as she spoke, more content appeared in my script.
“Sir…”
“What’s wrong? We’re discussing something important here, trivial matters decide for themselves.”
“N-No… this… this might be even more important than what you’re discussing now!”
【Zelora was beaten up by his own wife!】
What? Wife?
“Um… Madam has finished her work and just returned home; she’s on her way here from the manor!”
As I understood something, I looked up only to see the old man, who had just been speeding around in front of me and Ke Fei Er, full of crude jokes, his face, filled with lewd expressions, suddenly turned terrified. He could no longer care about mumbling anything about kidneys in my ear.
【Zelora is a henpecked husband.】
The old man’s wife, isn’t that Ke Fei Er’s mother?
Isn’t that the legendary “Madam” I had never seen before!?
