Chapter 652 - Children?!
-----
Things had changed a lot for the parents of Vheslia, in just a few minutes, they were hit with much news one after the other. It wouldn't be exaggerated to think that they would be impacted by everything, it was a lot of stuff to digest and little time for them to do so.
To boot, because Vheslia's father was old and had less temper than before, he had lost his sanity and attacked Frank more than once, this ended in father and daughter discussing a lot. Which ended on him sighing and giving up.
However, at the end, the two decided to accept Vheslia's love for Frank, and then accepted him, thinking that the rest around them were their friends at most.
But they quickly realized that most of those girls present were all Frank's wives! This only made their mind go even more insane as they realized that Frank was a womanizer that had picked their daughter as just another woman, a side chick!
They couldn't believe that it felt like a tremendous offense to their family, how could he dare do such a thing! They felt furious, although Vheslia's mother was passive and didn't showed her inner ranger or frustration, while her father was way more expressive, raging angrily and about to attack Frank again.
However, he quickly calmed down at the end, as Vheslia forced him to calm down, pretty much. After that, they slowly walked back home as Vheslia's mother, Mary, decided to wrap things up, deciding that there was no other way around it, she decided to cook for everyone and make the atmosphere better. She was perhaps the one most accepting of Vheslia's two parents, although she was still saving her grudges deep inside.
Frank as someone capable of reading minds, knew this, but he let her be, he recognized her strength of will despite how deeply rooted this racism in their society was, and he decided to try to find a way to make them change their mind, or at the very least to let him coexist with them.
At the very least he wanted Vheslia to be happy, he didn't mind being hated, as long as she and their child would be happy with their grandparents, it was fine by him.
Frank wasn't someone that was into changing society as a whole, nor leading entire nations into revolutions, so he wasn't going to change the entire society of the demons, even if he had enough power to force his ideals into anyone he wanted in this planet, he knew that such ways were not correct, he let the world flow as it wanted, without him intervening more than when it was strictly necessary.
The group walked inside the house until Frank's parents met Vheslia's parents, they were not angry at them because they knew their circumstances at the end of the day, racism wasn't something that could be healed simply by telling them to stop being like this, proper treatment was necessary, or at the very least, to form some sort of acceptance of other living beings.
After the parents, however, there was a group of children, aside from Frank's child, Alexander, there were three other children that walked inside the house, a girl with a massive scorpion half from her hips down below, with tanned skin that resembled the color of chocolate, long hair and beautiful starlight eyes, Selcis, who had actually reduced her lower half size through the Body Size Alteration Skill to enter the house, the cute Undead Dragon, a Dracolich with the shape of a small boy named Vritra, who emanated the presence of death everywhere, and then another dragon child, Ruby, who had taken the shape of a little girl covered in red scales.
"Hello! Nice to meet you! Please don't hit papa again…" said Selcis.
"Nice to meet you. I am hungry…" said Vritra.
"Are there sweets?" asked Ruby.
The three strange-looking children creeped out Vheslia's parents, finding them rather hideous in appearance, more monster-like than anything they had ever seen before. However, they forced themselves to act with basic emotions that every person should have.
"Nice… to meet you…" said her father.
"Welcome…" sighed her mother.
The two began to wonder if these children were actually Frank's children, if that was the case, there would be three other wives they didn't knew about that somehow didn't come here but so did their parents.
"A-Are these also your kids?" asked Vheslia's father, as he sat down over the chair to the end of a large table, directly glaring at Frank who sat down to the opposite direction.
"Well, I consider them my children. They're Selcis, Vritra, and Ruby. They're actually… well, monsters that can take humanoid shapes. They're intelligent and innocent children, so don't mind them. They're good-hearted and nice. Children are always innocent, so please don't judge them," said Frank.
Vheslia's father sighed. Frank was very right on his words, there was no point in being so aggressive against children because of their appearance, and thankfully, he wasn't.
There was also the blue-furred fox-kin boy that Frank was holding on his arms, who sat down over his legs. The adorable boy exuded a powerful aura, as if it had been born being extremely strong.
"So that is your only child with your blood?" asked Vheslia's parents.
"Yes… Vheslia and the other girls are pregnant, so there might be more children like Alexander in the future… I have to properly prepare to deal with each one, it is going to be an arduous task…" said Frank.
Vheslia's father suddenly realized how responsible Frank was despite what he was doing, perhaps he was more strong-willed than any man he had ever met, to be so manly he was willing to raise all these children with his wives, without daring to run away from his responsibility…
And the biggest thing of all, he was somehow capable of handling all these different girls that sometimes began to chit chat with one another or sometimes even discussed and got angry with one another… he was someone with incredible patience.
