Adopted Soldier

Alex who had witnessed his new mom interrogate the two girls Evangeline and Rachel started getting confused. Then he saw his dad the one they called the messenger of death, the person who was only second to Lyner in inducing fear to the enemy, was actually crying. This was the first time Alex had ever seen Carlo cry, which almost made his brain shutdown from the confusion.

The whole sequence of events were something Alex could never anticipate. He who was trained to always expect the unexpected was caught off guard. Well in truth ever since starting this bodyguard mission for Rachel, Alex had been caught off guard numerous times.

After a few tear drops Carlo had stopped crying and instead started smiling randomly. Michel was also done with her interrogation and brought out the two girls from the other room, in which they came out looking extremely exhausted.

After these weird events the group continued eating, and afterwards the two girls returned home with their families. Rachel could finally return home since Dan was there to stand guard. With Dan in the house, anyone who dares try to assassinate Rachel would have all their bones crushed into dust. The enemy would wish for death, but will never be granted it, he would then be tortured by Dan until his last breath.

Seeing as Dan felt very strongly for his family that he hasn't met for years, made him even more scary. The others knowing Dan's personality, knew that the man would never show mercy, especially to enemies that try to harm his only daughter. Knowing this Carlo felt a bit sorry for the assassins.

Seeing as Rachel was going home, Evangeline needed to go home as well, since the whole reason she was staying was because of Rachel. Now that Rachel wasn't present she had no more passable reason to stay.

The girls who were finally going home, after quite some time actually looked reluctant and a bit sad. Lilitth who saw the two girls going home, made a face that looked like she was about to cry. When Carlo and Michel saw this, they quickly dashed towards the two families demanding them to leave their daughters behind.

Of course Dan disagreed and another round of fighting happened. This round was quickly finished since Alex and Lilitth stopped their parents, while Kumiko stopped her husband. After another quick discussion, Lilitth explained that she felt a bit sad that the two older sisters she grew accustomed with were going home, but she understood that they needed to go home. She explained that she did feel sad but she could deal with it, so there was no need for her parents Carlo and Michel to act the way they did.

Once everyone had calm down because of Lilitth's explanation. Everyone was now able to leave without anymore incidents. What had happened also made Carlo and Michel aware that they were at the mercy of Lilitth's emotions. The moment she showed that she was sad, it felt like they had gone crazy and would do anything to make her stop being sad. The two adults knew this was wrong and decided to train themselves to not be too susceptible to Lilittlh's flow.

...

After a while Michel took Lilitth to her room and the two started playing. Alex on the other hand was called over by Carlo, and headed to Carlo's study. While they were walking in the hallway Alex messaged Emily telling her that she could come back to the mansion, in which she replied with, be back tomorrow emoji wink face.

...

Carlo and Alex were now in Carlo's study that had a no door. The door that Dan busted was a special made door that could take hits from a rocket launcher and remain unscathed. So replacing it wasn't possible at the moment, and Carlo needed to wait for a few days before he could get a new one. He had forgotten about this, and unconsciously walked to his study.

Now that he was reminded of the broken door, he and Alex instead headed towards Alex's room. Once the two got there, they closed the door and double checked the room to see if there were any bugs. They needed to check thoroughly since Emily had a hobby of placing bugs in hard to reach places.

When they were done with checking and found the room clean, Carlo smiled happily at Alex.

"So Alex who between the two will be my future daughter-in-law?" Alex who heard Carlo's very direct question was startled. Usually he was someone who would answer immediately without any changes in his look, but he actually hesitated. Not only that Carlo once again saw his son blush, but this time it was much clearer. This made Carlo even more excited and happy. Seeing this changes of his son, was proof of his growth not physically nor mentally, but emotionally. This son who had extreme growths in both the physical and mental aspect was now having trouble with the emotional aspect.

Carlo knew it wasn't good to be happy because of his son's difficulty in expressing himself, but he couldn't help it. Alex was more mature than most children and was exceptionally obedient. Seeing his son actually have a trait that made him look like a real normal teenager made Carlo really happy.

"Nice, who knew that you could make a face like that Alex. So who is it? Who's the girl?" Alex was confused as well. He already accepted that he liked the girl, but why was he like this? He was acting too differently from his normal self. It might be because he was talking to his dad, that might be the reason he feels a bit safer to show his new emotions dwelling within him.

Carlo was looking at him in anticipation. Alex seeing that excited look of his dad, sighed before speaking.

"I think I like, no I'm sure that I fell in love with Rachel Regius."

"Rachel! And you actually said that you fell in love! Amazing this is great!" Carlo hugged his son in his excitement. The mission he gave at the start, actually bore fruit in the direction he wanted. His son actually fell in love with the target girl. He knew it was the right decision to make Alex choose the target for protection. If he was the one who chose this events might not have transpired. Alex might not have fallen in love, and greatly improved his emotional state.

Carlo knew that if Alex picked the girl, he knew it would be because he found the girl interesting. Unknown to Carlo, Alex actually picked Rachel randomly. All of the things that happened later resulting to him falling lover, were all circumstantial.

"Still Rachel huh. That would mean you will need to deal with Dan. That guy will be hard to convince. The only true language Dan understand is the fist. The only way you'll be able to convince him that you're serious is if you beat him in a fight. I'm pretty sure, the moment you ask Rachel out, he would intervene with an idiotic thing like saying. You can have my daughter after you kill me."

The last line Carlo said, was actually something he would say as well, if someone ask to be Lilitth's boyfriend. Alex who was listening to everything his dad said, looked at him with eyes full of resolution.

"I will do my best to win her heart. Then I will deal with Instructor Dan afterwards. If he wants to fight then I will fight until he's satisfied."

Carlo was impressed in the resolution in Alex's eyes as he said what he said. Still he felt sorry for Rachel and Evangeline, especially Evangeline. This idiotic son of his didn't notice their feelings. He actually said that he will try and win Rachel's heart, without knowing he had already won it.

Carlo decided that this was also something Alex needed to learn on his own. He could tell Alex the truth, but learning about the two girls feelings on his own will help him improve emotionally.

No matter what Alex's chooses to do, when he learns the truth about the two girls feelings, Carlo wishes that Alex would have no regrets.. In the end Carlo simply hopes that the choices Alex's made will lead him to his happiness.
