"Ahhmm... is there a history between you and this Niki?" Fein leaned on the wall beside him and asked.
Lucius beca silent for a few seconds before he answered. "No, but it's nothing like that. Yeah, I have t him a few tis, but that was when he was still sane."
Fein raised his eyebrows at this. "Sane?? Why? does he have so ntal disorder or sothing?"
"No, and yes... He's crazy but stupidly smart at the sa ti. Hmmm... how to put it. He was kinda twisted in mindset. Enough about that... Tell what happened in your Adventure in the Secret Realm."
"Tell about my Family first. Are they safe right now? I have offended so vicious person." Fein said.
Lucius tapped his armchair, and he turned his head at his daughter. "You really trust him this much huh?"
Sofia stared back at her father without flinching and says. "Don't pretend dad, I know that you know it... Fein is already soone important to . Sorry, I can't lie to him when it concerns his safety.
Fein and Lucius were both stunned. Sofia knew she said sothing and she knew that she fucked up. She didn't wait for them to react before she run away to prevent the embarrassnt she would get.
Seeing this, Lucius looked at Fein with complex feelings.
"My silly daughter, bastard you're lucky, it seems you even got my daughter's heart." Lucius felt that a wild board had snatched his precious cabbage from his backyard.
Seeing Lucius say these things to him. Fein knew that he was indirectly expressing that he doesn't object if they beca in a relationship. Of course, he was damn happy about it!
He was about to open his mouth when Lucius cuts him off.
"But..." Lucius looked at his eyes directly. "I hope you promise that you won't break her heart. And I wish you can protect her when the ti cos."
"I would... I already made my promise to her. But what's the 'when the ti cos'? Fein asked.
He felt that things aren't simple this ti.
"You see... A storm is brewing between the different factions. But they can't do it since we are currently at war with Demons. But small skirmishes kept happening from ti to ti, and I think you have already experienced one of them in the Secret Realm." Lucius said in one breath.
'Small skirmishes? I already experience?' Fein touched his chin as his mind started to think critically. 'Did he an, Shawn? So that's the small skirmish that he was talking about? perhaps a fight for interest between the factions?'
'But I thought Shawn targeted because Maxwell and Lucius have a beef with each other... It seems things aren't as simple as I thought it was.'
"You an after those small skirmishes, what you an that when the ti cos... Because a big skirmish is coming? The factions would go all out or sothing like that?" Fein took a deep breath as he laid out his thoughts.
The corner of Lucius's mouth twitched before he let out a laugh and says. "HAHAHA, you never fail to surprise . I knew that you would understand it soon, but not this fast!"
"Let's change the subject, I would tell you the complete story when the ti cos... For now, let tell you first that your family is completely safe. I've sent three elite servants to guard them in the shadows, so don't worry... Now tell about your exploration with my daughter. How did it go?" Lucius grinned.
Fein heaved a sigh after Lucius' confirmation. He won't be at ease if not. When he first ca to this world, he tried hard not to be attached to anyone. Because no matter how powerful you beco, there's always a common weakness that all possessed... And that is 'People'. Only by cutting ties, would one beco truly bulletproof. Because there's no nasty emotion that could hold them back, the enemies can't target the people around you if you don't have them in the first place. That's a beautiful sound and all, but as one can see... He mothafuckin failed. He got attached, not only with one. But a lot of people-- Ranger's eye, his family, and Sofia. But what happened already happened, and he doesn't want to beco so emotionless machine either, because bonds and relationships are what make the imperfect world perfect! And that's why he strives to beco stronger in the first place. To protect himself and the people around him!
'Damn it, I just beca so ani protagonist in a second.' Fein felt unpleasant for a mont.
Those thoughts only passed instantly. He focused his full attention on Lucius, he doesn't want to be disrespectful to his future father-in-law or he would lose browny points,
"About the Secret Realm..."
Just like that, Fein began to narrate their exploration. He told him about the environnt in the Monster World and its differences compared to their world. He also talked about the various monsters and the holy beast that they have encountered. After all, Sofia would surely tell her father sooner, so it's better to divulge the information now and earn so favorability right?
Then he began to narrate the things that they have encountered in the Underground Temple and the supposed Evil God that Sofia has encountered which pique Lucius' attention. He also ntioned the inheritance scroll and its content except for the 'Golden Mist Technique'. With this, it can be considered that he told him the truth. As to why he didn't divulge the existence of the technique. He's not a fool. And he knows that Sofia and Lucius would surely understand his reasons. Because everyone has their own secrets ain't it?
"That's certainly interesting. I didn't expect the monsters from the Abyss still exist, and they are still in the middle realm." Lucius said with a worried voice.
"What's the Abyss?"
Lucius touched his chin before he shook his head. "It's still too early for you to know. Curiosity isn't bad but it depends on timing okay? Once you looked at the Abyss there's no turning back."
