Chapter 359 Proposal (1)

The smoke soon dissipated as well but since the maid from before hadn't come back yet, I decided to keep my adorable daughter here for a bit.

"Alright. Now, let's do a spar with only weapons. No skills, okay?"

"I don't want to,"

"Huh?"

"You heard me. I don't want to spar anymore. I finally have a break off school and keeping up such a perfect image, and I don't want to ruin my break by entertaining you,"

"It's not entertainment. Plus, I was thinking of gifting you something if we actually did end up sparring and you won… Who knows, maybe you might like it," I said with a smile and Hepha couldn't resist her curiosity.

"Tch… This is why I hate people who taunt me so much," She clicks her tongue before taking up her sword once again and pointing it at me.

Maybe I should limit myself to her power… so… about here, I think.

"Start!" One of the knights announce the beginning of the match, and my daughter was merciless as she charged forward and aimed straight for my heart.

I parried it with my scythe and then spun it around my wrist to build up momentum for a downward swing on her shoulder.

CRACK

The sword which shielded her shoulder almost snapped in half from the pressure but thankfully, her strength allowed her to slide the blade off, reassuring no next attack.

As she went to go duck down, I jumped up and swung down once again, but she evaded and completely dodged my attack like a slippery snake.

"Oh my," I muttered as I thought I would be able to actually hit her.

Hepha glared up at me with cold eyes and as I began to fall, she stabbed her sword straight into my stomach.

I was sent flying back, grasping my solar-plexus which had been completely entangled by her insane amount of power.

"God damn…" I muttered as I sat on the ground before looking up at Hepha who wanted to finish the job… but I decided to use my full power now.

My signature move~ Shoulder thingy~!

In an instant, I landed on her shoulders and glared down at her head before wrapping the blade of my scythe around her neck.

"Winner! Loser!"

The knight pointed to me as the winner and then pointed to Hepha as the loser.

"Dammit!" Hepha shouted as she shoved me off her shoulders and stormed out of the training room, biting her lip so hard I could see blood draw.

But not even a few minutes later, the same maid from before came back with two four small boxes fit for a few pieces of jewelry.

Three of them were for my wives and the other one was a bracelet that I got for Hepha… but I guess that will have to come later.

"Thank you. Here are a few gold coins for your work," I say after tossing the maid a few gold coins and taking the boxes to my wives.

…

As I slowly approached Loni's office which was recently granted due to her ranking up in the knight system they have in this kingdom, I began to gradually grow more nervous.

I don't know why I was so nervous, but it felt as if my beating heart was in my throat and my brain was pulsing from the nerves.

"What the hell… I was never this nervous the first time," I muttered to myself.

After taking a few deep breaths, I opened the door and glanced at Loni who was exhausted from working so hard.

"Oh, babe, is there something wrong?" She asked after noticing my nervous expression.

"Fooooo… Loni, will you marry me?" I asked, quitting my hesitation and getting down on one knee in front of the desk.

The few guards and one maid in the room, attending to her immediately got the gist of the situation and exited after congratulating us… because she accepted.

"Of course," She responds with a warm smile and she quickly jumped out of her chair and hugged me tightly.

We then locked lips for just a few seconds before she asked me,

"Are you doing this with the other girls?"

"Y-... Yes," I replied, unsure if I should've told her since she might grow jealous and hate the other girls.

"Don't worry babe, that would be wonderful. I'm sure they wouldn't mind as well…"

"Even Fol?"

"Even Fol. She's gotten much better and we've become pretty close friends, even though we'll be sisters-in-law soon," She chuckled before giving me some encouragement out the door.

"Th-thank you. I love you," I said before quickly dashing out of the door and making my way out of the palace, to Lisa's blacksmithing establishment.

…

Without even glancing at the others, I walked through the giant blacksmith to the room all the way in the back.

It was pretty large and even had its own personal smithy where the boss could obviously work on her own things whenever she wanted.

"Hello? You rarely stop by here so is there something important?" Lisa asked as she shuffles through a few papers with bags under her eyes.

"Yes… You know I love you very much and… I would like to be with you forever. Will you marry me?" I asked as I got down on one knee and Lisa's eyes shot wide open.

Her two antenna waved a bit before she dashed over to me and gave me a hug.

After I placed the ring on her, she brought me in for a hot and steamy kiss which I already expected from her.

She held me tightly, all the way until she was pleased.

"I love you so much," She muttered before hugging me once more.

"I love you so much too," I responded before giving her another peck on the lips.

After confessing our already known love multiple times again, we moved on to a different topic just as I was about to leave.

"Oh, that's right. I finished your armor a few days ago but haven't been able to actually return to the palace as I was too busy. Here, let me show you it," She said with a bit of a lewd smile.

What did she do…
