Chapter 488 – Western Room -4-

“I came here to ask for permission to marry you. Please allow me to marry Alice.”

Unlike the couple who was frozen like stone by Roman’s words.

Alice, whose face was bright red, reacted most violently.

“Kya~!!!”

Alice screamed happily and stamped her feet, wondering if this tickling was good.

Now that the word has been said, there is no need to hide it from now on. The girl leaned her head against her lover’s shoulder.

– Shaaa!

– Muhuuuuu.

The spirits that were indebted to Roman’s body made sounds as if they were resonating.

To the ears of the girl in love, those cries sounded like a serenade.

Hee!”

Alice imagines a happy future with Roman and lets out her cute nasal voice.

Feeling strange about the growing silence, she opened her eyes and looked ahead.

“Mom, Dad… Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“Alice. Your father and mother need time too.”

Despite Roman’s comfort, Alice did not relax the strength around her eyes.
She didn’t stop talking.

Roman, who has a platinum status, comes to Edelman and politely asks for permission.

A picture that does not readily give an answer is something Alice cannot even imagine.

“Do you want me to live alone and run a solo workshop?”

“···That can’t be possible.”

Dorian finally opened his mouth. That made Alice even more excited.

“Then you want me to marry a poor man like the coward who buried me in the dungeon and ran away, or Orla’s younger brother Stranden?”

Jane and Dorian immediately denied it, saying no.

Is that possible? For the couple, their daughter’s happiness is always the top priority.

“Alice. Stop.”

Roman also seems to know why the two people across from him are silent.

I stopped Alice, who was about to raise her voice in anger.

“Roman, Roman… But this isn’t real!!!”

Will Alice even object, saying that she can’t be her parent like this?
She was excited by unexpected anxiety.

“It’s okay. I’ll explain slowly.”

“···.”

He looked a little more relaxed when I held his hand under the table.

Roman, who handed over the peach to Alice, let out a low voice throughout the family home.

“I don’t have the power to see the future or read minds, but I dare say I know what you’re worried about.”

“”···.””

“Let’s start with Isiljikgo. I have a total of 7 lovers, including Alice, which is probably too much for me. There are also famous people in the empire.”

This was the most difficult part for Roman, who retained the values ​​of his past life, but Dorian and Jane ended up being slightly surprised.

“Even so, I promise that Alice will not be unfairly oppressed or discriminated against because she is not a noble.”

“!”

You hit the nail on the head. This time, Roman felt that he was truly surprised.

Considering that they have built up their common sense by watching how this society goes on, it would be difficult for Dorian and Jane to accept this.

‘How much is appropriate to mention?’

Her own mansion is not a harsh place where women fight with each other, blow blizzards, and use conspiratorial tactics to secure the succession of the family.

It is difficult to show how she lives in her mansion to prove that fact.

It must be said in words that Alice’s lifestyle is different from that of the nobles and wealthy people known to the public.

“It’s completely different from what mom and dad are worried about. I’m not trying to live a life like a seedling or a living collection.”

Appropriate support.

Direct words that Roman didn’t necessarily say came out of Alice’s mouth instead.

“Alice and the church’s saint, Atra, are friends of the same age, and their relationship is by no means one-sided. It’s not about Dritna or her sisters either.”

“Even if I marry Roman, my training will not stop, and I will not become complacent. As Roman said, while maintaining my duty as a companion, I will also do what I want to do -.”

A story being told. The couple opened their ears and listened.

And I am trapped and reminded of the memories of the past that pour down like rain.

Has Alice ever been interested in someone of the opposite sex during her lifetime?

No, was there room for that in my daughter’s life in the first place?

The child who ran steadily without a single complaint, looking at the ceiling in an attempt to overcome the low-income family inherited from his poor parents, looked great yet always in danger.

I was worried that I might break or break while climbing while only looking up.

It was scary that her daughter might be ruined the moment she lost her driving force and stopped walking.

By the way.

‘This time has already come.’

She felt strange when I told her that her daughter had found her life partner.

As her parents, I realize once again that the day I had only imagined had arrived.

Alice, who slept all day in the cradle and toddled around holding her parents’ legs, has grown up so much.

As she listened to the story, Alice’s parents also heard answers to their concerns.

She felt that Alice was living happily in a better environment than she imagined.

Even if there are many things I don’t understand, what happens if parents don’t trust their children? I just blindly accepted it and nodded at her.

“This is what I want to say.”

“···Thank you.”

After Roman’s explanation was finished, Dorian and Jane bowed their heads.

Then Jane looked at Alice and opened her mouth.

“Alice…”

“Yes.”

As the worries melted away, the parents’ feelings inside began to emerge.

Just as Dorian supports Jane, and Jane supports Dorian, even though they are not related by a single drop of blood.

She was relieved that Alice, who had only been running like that, had met someone who could become her pillar and lean on. And guilt.

“Mom, I said that because it was my first time being a mom… I’m sorry.”

“···.”

I should have smiled and congratulated you the moment I heard it.

When she froze and couldn’t speak, she felt sorry and regretted it.

How heartbroken and sad it must have been when the parents you trusted did not respond favorably.

Although she was relieved that she had enough time to turn her attention to the other side, she was worried and couldn’t say anything easily.

“Ugh…!”

As Jane moistened her eyes and let out a tearful voice, Dorian wiped her spouse’s eyes.

Alice buried her face in Roman’s forearm, hiding her expression.

Dorian, who was comforting Jane who was sobbing with emotion, raised her head and looked at Roman.

“···Can I ask you one thing?”

“Of course. I will answer with all my sincerity.”

Husband and wife are one in heart.

There may be other couples who do not, but Dorian and Jane are confident that they are thinking the same thing.

“Roman, why are you asking for my husband, and I’s consent?”

Anyway, the opponent is Platinum, the pinnacle of adventurers.

Even if he makes Alice, whom he loves so much, become pregnant or announces that the marriage is over, Dorian and Jane have no power to protest.

But why? Why? Wherefore? Do you bow your head and ask for approval from an ordinary couple who have no title and the only thing they are proud of is a beautiful daughter?

“Isn’t it truly a difficult world to make a living in?”

Roman comforts Alice, who is shedding tears and snot on his clothes.

He continued talking in a relaxed tone.

“If you ask them if they know what a parent’s duty is, anyone will give a plausible answer that they must take responsibility for their children and raise them, but in reality, there are very few parents in the world who can overcome the storm and do their duty.”

“···.”

“Even though it was the last time I was a child, I remember my parents’ faces. They were so hungry that they were on the verge of starvation and lost their senses, so they tried to exchange me with the kid next door.”

It’s not Dorian who doesn’t know what the word itself refers to.

However, is it possible to have such parents as teachers, or is there something hidden that answers her own questions?

Roman’s inner meaning could not be clearly read.

“Are you resentful…?”

“I don’t hold any grudges.”

The answer comes out coolly, as if there is no need to think.

Dorian was speechless, but he forced himself to ask, thinking that he would not be heard unless it was now.

“May I ask why?”

“I don’t blame my parents because I saw them wailing at that time. I don’t intend to blame them for their choice because I know how scary it is to be close to starvation.”

Because what was reflected in the parents’ eyes at that moment was not an expectation of being full later.

At the time, Roman’s parents were weighed down with guilt and guilt, and their eyes were full of fear.

Now that we’ve laid the foundation, it’s time to answer Dorian’s question.

There was a perception that it was an unfamiliar word, so Roman slightly avoided looking at the other person, which was rare.

“I know that they must have gone through a lot of hardship and hard work when they were given the name of parents.”

“···.”

“I wanted to thank you for enduring the hard days and raising Alice so well.”

Alice said she wanted to maintain an amicable relationship with her parents even after she got married.

If Roman acts with force or authority, there is a possibility that the relationship will be shaken, so he has no choice but to be careful.

“I would like you two to be present at the wedding. Please allow her to marry Alice.”

After finishing his explanation, Roman bowed his head politely once again.

Dorian and Jane stood up from their chairs and bowed to Roman.

“Please take good care of my daughter.”
