Eren grew silent, having no way to reject the man. It was as if he had already accepted him as a son-in-law.
Eren felt it slightly awkward since they were just talking as if they were brothers from different mothers. And now, they were really on the verge of becoming relatives, but in a way that he never could have imagined.
He wasn't sure why the man even wanted him as a son in law. Was it simply because he was worried that his daughter might fall for another woman? He seed to have already tried all other decent n in this world, failing to find soone that could win her heart.
He also had a feeling that it was also because he was from earth. He had also shown his courage by talking back to the Second Primordial, revealing that he wasn't on good terms with that man.
Besides that, he was also stronger. If he survived that kind of explosion, and was on the verge of escaping from that scene, it ant he also had quick thinking skills.
Lysander could see a lot of talents in Eren, which made him even more interested in this man. And now that man had also shown interest in his daughter, which further strengthened his resolve.
"I don't care what kind of help you need from , or what you have to do! You just beca my son in law!" Lysander placed his hands on Eren's shoulders, his gaze burning like that of a man that had already made up his mind.
He could only nod before Lysander. If he had already started riding this shark, he could only hold on until he reached the shore.
"Good! Co, let's go for dinner! The more you appear before my daughter, the more she might start to beco familiar with you." Lysander removed the barrier, and started dragging Eren with him.
Eren could only sigh silently, wondering just why Lysander had such a bad understanding of won. Even though he himself wasn't too familiar with won's thinking, he at least understood that Lysander's words weren't quite true.
If Estelia hated him, it didn't an she was going to beco fond of him if he appeared more before her. Instead, she must find him even more irritating, which might make her hate him even more.
Lysander took Eren to a grand hall, where a long dining table was arranged. There were hundreds of dishes prepared by the chef. The appearance of those dishes surprised Eren as well, since they were the dishes that were mainly used on earth.
At this point, Eren stopped questioning anything he saw. Lysander's obsession with earth was definitely stronger than he thought. The man had even taught earth's dishes to his chefs, and was eating them here.
"What is he doing here?" Estelia slamd her hand on the table, standing up.
"I told you that he is a guest. Isn't it good manners to treat guests well?" Lysander asked, trying to calm his daughter. "Are you going to embarrass in front of a guest?"
"Didn't you hear what he told ? Is that what you call a guest?" Estelia exclaid, her face turning red. It was unclear if it was simply because of her anger, or because she rembered that mont.
"You..." Lysander frowned. He was about to say sothing, but Eren stopped him.
Instead, Eren stepped forward and approached Estelia who seed like she was prepared to hit him if he tried to flirt with her again.
Eren stopped a few ters away from the woman, appearing to be sowhat heartbroken. He put his everything in the performance as he said, "If I offended you, I want to apologise."
"As you may already know, I'm not from this world. And the world I ca from, it's considered good manners to complint a woman when you et them. I don't know why my words offended you, but it's most probably because they might appear strange to the people of this world."
"I want to make you know that I never had any intentions to hurt you. If you don't want to be here, then I will simply leave. I don't want to make you uncomfortable."
Eren lowered his gaze, appearing as if he was too sad over being misunderstood when he didn't have any ulterior motives.
He let out a tired sigh and turned around. When the woman couldn't see his face anymore, he montarily raised his head, winking at Lysander, as if trying to signal him to play along.
Normally, it would be a death wish to let the father of a girl see him trying to fool her. However, the man had already said he was going to help him. It was after all what that man wanted, and not him.
"You..." Lysander seed to understand the signal quite well. He didn't think much about it, only believing it to be Eren's attempts to fulfil his wish.
His face also dropped as he looked like he was almost on the verge of crying. "Don't bla yourself! It was my fault that I didn't introduce you and your culture well, leading my daughter into misunderstanding you."
"I should be the one to be blad, not you. Please don't..." He placed a hand on Eren's shoulder, as if trying to stop him.
Eren internally cringed. He could see the man trying to put on his best act, but he was clearly not suited for it.
'With such a bad act that he's putting, it would be a surprise if his daughter doesn't catch us. I should've made him prepare more...' Eren thought, but it was too late to give him acting classes.
He simply pushed the man's hands aside, and walked away, not giving him any chance to 'act' more.
Eren didn't look back, and walked away. Once again, he was constantly wondering if the girl was going to stop him. Even if she didn't stop him, he could always find ways to et her again. It wasn't the end of the world. It was simply the beginning.
