Chapter 468 Before Departure
Inside an office within the castle, I stood there with my hands behind my back, staring down at the man behind the desk in front of . "She is coming with ."
"No, she is not! You are not taking my daughter on so wild excursion!"The king yelled.
"I do not care what you say. Adel needs to grow stronger. There is no other way. If you want to try to stop , then do it. I am sure you know you can not. I am giving you the respect I should as my father in law by telling you my plans. I know that you, as a parent, are not happy with the fact that I am taking your daughter away from you, but there is nothing I can do. For this kingdom and for our future, those around need to beco the strongest in the entire world. No, they need to beco so strong that even the gods will not dare go against them.
"The threat we face with the doom bringer is unlike anything we have ever seen before. Just a small sliver of its being that I t earlier was enough to destroy this world. There is an entire body sitting on the continent on the other side of the world. What do you think will happen in ten years' ti? Is ten years wasted trying to hide her from all the wrongs in the world the right thing to do? Or is her being able to grow strong enough to defend herself the right choice?" I was not trying to be an. I did not wish to separate Adel from her family either when she was so young, but we all had to go.
"Damn it! Why must you use the end of the world against !? I know this is for the best. I know, but…." The king frowned. But he soon sighed in defeat."Bring her back alive. This is all I can ask."
"Don't worry. This, I promise. In this world or the next, the only ones you do not need to worry about are my wives. If they die, then that ans I died before them." Love was a crazy thing. I loved all four girls. I wanted them to live happy lives, even if it ant giving up my life.
"You better keep your promise. Go. I already got the things you requested prepared." The king let out another sigh while waving off. But I guess the old man had long expected to win this fight since he already prepared everything.
I was asking for a lot. Five years' worth of food was a lot, and it was not just for one person. It was five of us. Although Atolie did not need to eat, she still could. I did not wish to see her standing around while we were eating. I would feel bad.
I still had one thing left to do before heading to the eleven capital, where the dungeon was located. I had to make it so my family could go between the capital and my house back in Cyrilia village with ease.
It was midday when I arrived at the front doorstep of my house. I had the others go visit their families. Only Sophie was with . Atolie was watching over Adel, and Grace went to her parents' house.
"Mother!" I yelled out as I opened the door. My brother and father were probably in the fields since I did not see them around.
"Faith? Why are you back so early? You just left not long ago!" My mother ca out of the kitchen and walked over to . She looked up and down and nodded her head. "You look fine."
"I am going to be leaving for the next ten years. During this ti, I will be gone. I want you to have a safe place to go to in case of ergencies." I said with a smile. I walked over, hugged my mother's waist, and pushed my face into her chest. The warmth of a mother was sothing I could never get tired of.
"Stop being so clingy! It's so hot!" My mother pushed away, but she was smiling.
"You should know about what has happened, right?" I asked.
"Yes…. The thing is called a doom bringer, right? That bastard king told your father about it when they had a few drinks." I guess my mother did not like the king.
"I am hoping I can grow strong enough to reach a level that can fight against it. Myself, Sophie Adel, Grace, and Atolie will all be working towards this goal." I explained.
"I see…." My mother's mood quickly dropped.
"I will be safe. I promise to return alive no matter what. But you know I am the only one who can do anything about this." I looked at my mother, showing my determination.
"I just hate to think that the weight of the world is being placed on your shoulders. You are my daughter. You are still so young. You should not need to do the things that should be done by adults, but here you are. Going off to beco a hero." My mother pouted.
"I am not going off to be so hero. I do not wish to be a hero. I just wish for my loved ones to be safe and live happily. I want my brother to find a girl and make plenty of ground children for you to raise. I am sure you will be plenty busy then. I want you to see and my wives find a way to give you even more grandbabies. I want our family to have thousands of descendants." I exaggerated, but I was sure I was getting my point across.
"Hah! If you give a thousand grandbabies, I will put them back where they ca from. That is too many! I would be happy with one each from each of your wives."
