Herag didn't expect Chatiya to have such a big reaction. He originally just wanted to encourage Chatiya to cultivate diligently, but it seems he overdid it.
Actually, he didn't say much; he just underestimated Chatiya's dependency and affection for Herag.
"Chatiya will definitely cultivate hard and won't let Lord Herag be alone," Chatiya said sincerely, tears still glistening on her cheeks.
Herag froze for a mont, realizing that Chatiya was afraid he would be lonely in the future.
It's understandable, given that for people of their life level, those around them are unlikely to stay long, and they would probably enter a long period of solitude.
Chatiya thought a lot, and it was precisely because she realized this that she couldn't help but feel a bit saddened.
Being alone above the long river of ti, without a familiar person by your side, even lacking the chance to speak a few heartfelt words.
Chatiya found just thinking about such a scenario sowhat frightening.
Herag hugged Chatiya and said, "Keep up the effort. Oh, by the way, tell everyone we should have dinner together tonight."
The 'everyone' he refers to are his several won.
As for now, Reese, Asuna, Chatiya, Erza, and Misu are living in the Northern Castle.
Although Herag hasn't held a wedding with any of them, everyone knows they are Herag's won.
Reese is now acting as the lady master, responsible for many things, and is sowhat busy.
The Cheqi Family has now beco a bona fide giant wizard family, providing Reese with strong support and assisting her in doing many things.
Asuna, Chatiya, and Misu interact more, probably because they have more common topics and no barriers.
Asuna and Misu did not have a good background; Asuna ca from a poor family in the Elf Plane, which naturally makes her shy and introverted, even sowhat self-deprecating.
Though Misu ca from a wizard family, she lacked much voice and status, or she wouldn't have been sacrificed for a marriage alliance.
However, ever since she beca Herag's woman, the wizard family behind her suddenly changed their attitude, trying various ways to curry favor with Misu, hoping she could speak for them from her pillow.
But Misu completely ignored these requests from her family and never used her channels to do any favoritism for her family.
She knew too well the greedy faces of those in her family.
Once given even a little opening, they would surely seek wealth recklessly, causing a lot of trouble for Herag.
Because of Misu's status here, many people wouldn't dare to trouble the wizard family behind her even if they suffered losses.
Misu doesn't want such things to happen; she doesn't want to bring chaos to Herag and thus always disregards unreasonable requests from her family.
Chatiya had a favorable background, being the Elf Princess from the Elf Plane.
But she doesn't have any princess airs; although she's playful and a bit temperantal, she never uses power to oppress people and never bullies because of her identity.
Therefore, in the Northern Castle, Asuna, Chatiya, and Misu tend to hang out the most, often playing together.
Erza, on the other hand, is out of place with them, probably finding them a bit childish, and indeed having little common topics.
Reese is the busiest among the won, due to being responsible for many things.
Herag plans to have Reese extract herself from these things later on, focusing on wizard cultivation and enhancing her strength.
Many things don't actually need Reese to do and can be delegated.
Reese's progress in cultivation is the slowest among the few; even Erza is already a Level 2 Wizard, yet Reese remains at the Level 2 Wizard level.
Herag plans to devise a series of plans later on, tailored to each individual's specific circumstances.
The first thing to do is to improve their constitution and enhance their cultivation qualifications, enabling them to cultivate efficiently.
Even Chatiya's qualifications have room for improvent and can be enhanced further.
Herag's level is now different, and naturally, the thods he can use are different too.
...
Night, Northern Castle.
The dinner party at Herag's ho began, with the family sitting around a round table, laden with sumptuous dishes, as the won seated themselves accordingly.
This table style is different from many in the Wizard Plane, designed by Herag based on mories from a past life.
Besides the table, many pieces of furniture are like this.
Once changed, Herag felt a bit more comfortable using them.
Despite living in this world for so long, so things engraved in his bones cannot change.
"Reese, thank you for your hard work recently," Herag said.
Reese smiled and said, "It's not hard."
"Later, gradually extricate yourself from those things, I'll draft so cultivation plans for you and regularly check your progress, striving for an early advancent to Level 3 Wizard, and even higher levels," Herag said.
Reese said, "I... I don't need that, I've accepted it, my talent really isn't good."
Herag shook his head and said, "I was negligent before, focusing only on improving my own strength. Later, I'll pay more attention to you all; cultivation is a priority that cannot be ignored. Qualifications and talent aren't important. No matter how poor the qualifications, you can rest assured with here."
"Aside from Reese, this is sothing you all need to do too, cultivating diligently."
Erza was sitting on Herag's left, leaning against him, breathing softly, tickling Herag's neck. She whispered, "Are we cultivating tonight?"
Since it's only themselves here, without even servants, Erza didn't hold back; anyway, everyone has more or less witnessed already…
Herag's heart fluttered, he chuckled, "Of course, nightti cultivation is essential…"
The dinner party then began as Herag chatted with them, listening to them talk about their recent affairs.
Having soaked in the Mother River for too long, listening to a group of won chatting, Herag felt a surreal sense of another world.
Warm amber lights, steaming dishes, and a family filled with laughter, Herag gazed at this scene, feeling a stronger sense of identification and belonging to this world for the first ti.
Throughout past experiences, Herag had gone through a lot but always lacked sothing.
It was the sense that he didn't belong to this world, not being a person of this world, always missing a sense of belonging.
But now, watching Reese and Erza's laughter, seeing Asuna wipe the oil from Chatiya's lips, Herag suddenly felt a sense of happiness.
This happiness is called family.
