Chapter 19: David's Request.

Lumine asked with a smile as she walked up to Alicia. "So, how was the tour?"

"It was good," Alicia replied calmly, but there was a small smile on her face.

Lumine raised her brows as she thought, 'What kind of magic did that brat used to make her change like this?'

Giving a glance at Luis, she asked, "Did Luis trouble you?"

Following her eyes, Alicia looked at Luis. He was also looking back at her. She gave him a teasing smirk.

Luis looked at her smirk and thought if they weren't in front of their parents. He would have taught her a lesson for teasing him. 'But still, this mischievous girl is really cute.'

Alicia turned back to Lumine and said. "No, he didn't trouble me. He was a good guide."

Lumine raised her brow. Their small interaction didn't miss her eyes. 'How come they become so close in such a short time?'

Luis walked close to David while holding Alicia's soft and white hand.

"Uncle David, I agree with the engagement."

His words made everyone overjoyed, but they waited for Alicia's decision. Alicia looked up at all of them. Her face returned to cold and indifferent, but there was still a small rosy blush on her face.

"I agree."

Her two simple words made everyone overjoyed and the family dinner became more joyous.

"Hahaha, David, it seems we are going to become in-laws," Ronald said with hearty laughter.

"Yeah," David smiled back, but his eyes were still moist.

Lumine was also happy as she clasped Alicia's hand and walked to the sofa where they could chat some more.

David also went near them. As he chatted with his daughter.

Ronald came over, patted Luis' shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"Even at handling girls, you have inherited my talent."

"Let's find a time to announce their engagement officially later," Ronald said, to which everyone agreed.

"Alicia, your things will be prepared in the room on the second floor," Lumine said suddenly, to which Alicia nodded just like the obedient daughter-in-law she was.

"Huh?" Luis let out a confused sound. "She is staying here?"

"Oh, we didn't tell you?" Lumine had an expression that said she completely forgot. But Luis knew she did it on purpose.

Seeing Luis' blank look, Lumine pouted and said, "Yeah, she will be staying with us for some time."

She then gave him a mischievous look. "What? Are you getting excited to live under the same roof with your fiancee? Hehe."

Luis completely ignored her and looked at David, asking for an explanation.

"I will be leading an S-rank dungeon exploration with my guild. So I will be away for a month or two." Hearing this, Luis wasn't surprised because there are lots of vast dungeons with a lot of resources inside them. But he still didn't understand why would Alicia be staying with them.

Understanding Luis' doubts, David continued. "As both you and Alicia will be joining the academy 3 months later. It is the prime time to prepare. I have heard from your parents that you have Naturally Awakened. Also, your training will start tomorrow."

Luis nodded his head and gestured for him to continue.

"So, I asked Lumine to train Alicia together with you. Also, it's best to leave Alicia's training in Lumine's hands rather than some outsider's."

Luis nodded his head in understanding. His mother was an Overlord (S) rank, awakened. One of the powerhouses of this country. Her experiences and training would be very beneficial for Alicia and him.

"If it weren't for the dungeon, I would have trained her personally." David sighed.

"Is it necessary for you to go?" Luis asked, seeing his unwillingness.

"It is a request from the king for me to manage it personally." Sighing, he continued. "I have to go."

Luis' eyes became sharp for a moment at the mention of the king. But no one seemed to have noticed that.
