Novel Full 405 A sudden request
Chapter 405: A sudden request
Catching some little troublemakers troubled even Alex, who was slightly overwhelmed by their numbers and tricks. Some kids were just too serious about hide and seek, yet that hadn’t helped the couple catch them up.
Alex and Remia spent quite some time finding and catching them all. In fact, amidst their run for them, Stella had approached him and asked for help to bring Veronica to Earth.
With his powers, Alex did it with just a sweep of his hand before returning to the task of taking care of the children. Remia found it the most enjoyable, for the days spent in the Main Garden— though immensely valuable and rewarding — had been dull and mundane.
She had an excellent excuse to not focus on an elven bloodline and just enjoy the company of her beloved. The fairy grew a little mischievous, too, helping kids to hide from Alex.
At last, everyone was found out, and they went to the main hall to eat. The food had already been prepared en masse, so Alex needed to use magic stones just to heat it all up.
Remia was also back in the Main Garden. She connected instantly, once again outstretching her hands for the mysteries of the elven bloodline.
At the same time, Meiya descended from the Winged Realm. She greeted everyone with a gentle smile, hiding her true personality behind a motherly countenance. As a mother, she could do it flawlessly.
Every kid smiled and waved at her.
Alex also looked at her peculiarly, “Welcome back.”
“Unfortunately, not for too long,” Meiya clicked her tongue, not sounding like her usual herself. She didn’t hide her emotions before Alex. “I’m here to bring you to the realm. Father wants something from all of us… I don’t see Stella and Veronica, so they must be gone?”
“Yes,” Alex nodded, gazing into Meiya’s eyes. Her mood didn’t elude him, and he soon learned that Meiya had to speak officially with Lefius alongside her mother and father.
And while Danielle could be herself, Meiya was a mere existence close to level two hundred. Common people would give her a run for her money, so she couldn’t even face the other side properly.
She often bit her lips, sent her eyes away, and looked so fed up with her weakness that the other party used it against her.
Nothing serious came out of it, though. There was no proper evidence that Alex and Stella had been culprits. Auberon could simply say that Lefius had been trying to slander his in-law and discriminate against his different but similar race.
And if they tried to say anything about his granddaughter, Auberon’s chilling mode would freeze the clouds, making them fall onto Lefius Household.
Moreover, Lefius weren’t aware that one of them had been conducting some research, let alone cruel experiments. They would rather keep it to themselves and pray that Flayott would be the same. They did it silently, though, because pride didn’t allow them to request anything.
After all, Danielle had come to their lands, spoke haughtily, caused terror and destruction with her voice alone, and then spoke disrespectfully against the head of Lefius.
They just couldn’t request anything other than demanding Flayott repair the losses Danielle had caused.
“Since she’s busy with two kids, let’s head together to my parents, okay?” Meiya asked softly, so unlike herself, as she knew that her parents, particularly her mother, would think she had found a refugee and freedom in Deathwill Castle.
And that would surely be the case, for it was Meiya’s home as well.
But the longer she stayed here, the worse the volcano became.
Alex awkwardly laughed, then excused himself, telling some fairies to look after the kids. His good forest friends had always been helpful, and the ladies happily heeded his words, for those winged kids were adorable.
Besides, the forest fairies were close to nature, so tending to their feathers had been one of the new and best experiences for ladies that liked kids.
Alex didn’t need to pay or persuade them at all.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Alex and Meiya used his legendary system and teleported to their checkpoint in the Winged Realm.
Meiya and Stella’s house was naturally where the couple appeared.
They spent less than five minutes in that mansion, and all of that time was sacrificed just to leave the house, for it was so vast. In fact, had Alex’s checkpoint not been close to the main doors, the couple would’ve spent more time.
And that was just their mansion.
As it was courtesy and rule in Flayott Household, Alex and Meiya hadn’t used wings to quickly appear in the main house. Alex particularly paid attention to that — now that he knew about them all — and he also wanted to strut, not to show off but to match the lady on his side.
At the very least, Alex and Meiya reached the end of their destination. For this particular day, it was just Master Auberon greeting them. He let his pipe go, smiling faintly at the couple.
“Stella is busy, I reckon,” he said, glancing into Alex’s eyes, to which Alex simply told him about Stella’s plans and how she had turned more momma.
Since Auberon’s first wife also changed significantly when the first child came out, Auberon recalled Danielle’s change, his lips curving wider.
He had his butler serve Meiya and Alex tea.
Alex couldn’t refuse, even though he had a feast a few minutes ago. He sipped slowly, thinking of a possible topic his father-in-law could bring out. What could Auberon want from him when he was so weak?
Perhaps, he wanted to talk about Veronica like Thanas had done before.
But as Auberon gently dropped his cup, he lifted his eyes, and his chilling mode significantly changed as he scrunched his face with seriousness.
“You can’t stay low level,” Auberon said, his voice deep with emotions, sounding like the recent event was heavy on his heart, “I will make you level up to level three hundred today.”
Meiya beamed, her eyes twinkling, looking like a little girl before her father that wanted to jump and hug him.
She would’ve done that had it not been for the tea in the way.
Alex’s heart skipped a beat, his mind flashing with the popular leveling-up gaming concept.
