Adopted Soldier

Alex and his group were heading back home, as they got near the mansion Lilitth saw someone waiting for them at the entrance. The moment she saw the person waiting at the front gates Lilitth went into a mad dash. Of course Alex immediately noticed who was waiting for them.

"Tou-chan! Tou-chan!" With her incredible bodily strength that went beyond human norms, Lilitth who suddenly sprinted towards Carlo left an after image beside Alex and the others. When Rachel and Evangeline saw this, they were both surprised for a moment, but that surprise only lasted for a second. Since Lilitth was Alex's sister they were already expecting her to be somehow abnormal. This superhuman feat she just did was not as surprising when you think that she's related to Alex. That's what Rachel thought, Evangeline on the other hand already knew of Lilitth's true nature as an artificial human. Still every time Evangeline sees Lilitth's super human abilities, she's always surprised.

Carlo who had his arms wide open, waiting for his cute little daughter to jump into it, was blown away by Lilitth's enthusiastic tackle. Since she wasn't controlling her strength, Lilitth was able to break a part of the wall surrounding the mansion. Luckily Carlo was able to soften the blow by jumping backward. The destruction of the wall didn't really hurt Carlo, since before he was about to hit the wall, he sliced a portion of it using his sword. The wall was already crumbling when he hit, making him sustain only a bit of damage.

Evangeline and Rachel who were watching weren't able to see Carlo's movements. So in their minds Carlo who was able to handle Lilitth's tackle and the destruction of the wall without even a single scratch, was incredible.

'Amazing, these people are amazing.'

'Of course the father of such children would be a monster as well.'

All the two girls could think off at this moment was how powerful each and every family member was. They were now wondering if the mother was powerful as well. After thinking for a moment the girls then noticed the real problem regarding their situation. This would be the first time either of them would be talking to Alex's parents. Thinking about that fact the girls started to feel a bit anxious.

"I'm home my little angel." Carlo patted Lilitth's head and hugged her.

"Welcome home tou-chan." Lilitth smiled at her beloved father, which made Carlo swoon. He then started to hug Lilitth even tighter. If she was an ordinary child this hug from Carlo might have chocked her, but because of her sturdy body, this vise like grip hug was nothing much for her. It didn't hurt her but actually felt quite comfortable.

Alex approached Carlo and with his usual indifferent tone spoke to his father. "How did the mission go, was it a success?"

"Hello as well Alex. Aren't you going to hug and greet your father first, before asking such things? Also it seems like you brought home two beautiful ladies with you. Hello, I'm Carlo Samarita Alex and Lilitth's father."

The two girls who Carlo suddenly talked to where stunned speechless. They just stood there for a while. Once they got their bearings back, Rachel and even Evangeline bowed their head as they greeted Carlo.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Rachel Regius a friend of you son." 'Why the hell am I bowing!' Rachel screamed in her mind.

"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I'm Evangeline Kain, also a friend of your son." The moment Evangeline said this, without doing a curtsy she regretted what happened with every fiber of her being.

"Oh, is that so. Thank you for being friends with my boy. Hmm and it would seems like you took care of my daughter alongside my foolish son. Thank you for that as well."

"It's our pleasure!" The two rivals in love were at this moment totally in sync as they answered Carlo.

Seeing the two girls reactions, Carlo approached his son and put his arm over his shoulders and whispered.

"So who are you gunning for? Oh, of course you wouldn't get that. I mean who do you like more between the two?" Carlo asked this question half jokingly, since he expected Alex to simply say that he liked them equally. Yet to his surprise Alex didn't answer and instead, his face twitched. Carlo was amazed by this unexpected reaction.

The last time he saw Alex show such a reaction, was back when he was a kid. Even at that time Alex would only show a minor reaction once in a blue moon. This reaction from his son, surprised and excited Carlo. Since this reaction meant that the plan he set in motion, when they came to the city has finally moved forward.

"Oh, who is it? Who do you like, is it Rachel or Evangeline?"

"Can we talk about this later dad." Seeing his ever stoic son actually look a bit embarrassed, almost made Carlo drop his jaw.

"Fine, I will wait to hear your report about your situation with the girl you like. For now I just want to know, why the two of them are still here, and not going home."

Alex who had forgotten about their little arrangement, explained to his father a summary of what had transpired when he wasn't home. Carlo who listened to Alex's story felt a bit concerned, since this attack on Rachel might be related to whoever cloned Reghinald. But for now, Carlo decided to not think to deeply about it, and just enjoy the reunion with his children.

"Oh right, Alex, Lilitth, there is someone inside the mansion I want you to meet." Carlo happily carried Lilitth and grabbed Alex's hand as he guided his two children into the mansion. The two girls who were watching such a scene unfold, didn't know what to do, as they stood their silently.

"You two come in as well. You two need to meet this person." Hearing what Carlo said, the two girls were shocked.. It took them a few seconds to realize what Carlo just said, after which they followed the Samaritas inside their mansion.
