Chapter 1622 Home, Sweet Home

Once Varian and family returned home, the Heir of the alliance noticed the grumpy old man glaring at him like always. He was silent the whole time, be it when they were pulled out of Hortus, during the period when Varian was brutally tortured and when the duel contestants disappeared for a while.

Unlike the women, he didn't show any sign of worry on his face and appeared as carefree as he'd always been.

And now that he was in proximity with Varian, he stared glaring at him with eyes that would swallow if they could.

"I went through so much sh*t and all you do is glare at me? Even if you're my elder-in-law, this is really unexpected." Varian said with an overly surprised expression.

"They're all worried for nothing." Evander crossed his arms and snorted. "Only good guys die at a hundred. Bad guys will live for a thousand. Terrible people will live for ten thousand.

But shameless scoundrels like you won't ever die. Even death doesn't want to touch you with a ten foot pole. No wonder that death lady was so irritated with you." "Father!" Sarah stomped with an aggrieved gaze. "How can you say such words when he's been through so much pain? If you do it once again, I'll really...start crying."

"S-Sorry, sorry, daughter! My stupid mouth!" Evander's stern expression immediately collapsed and he apologized with a pitiful face.

"Tsk, weak old man." Primula chuckled from the side. "He's strong to everyone else outside but now he's behav—Oops!"

The energetic teenage girl shut up at Sarah's glare and hid behind Helena, muttering. "Scary, scary, so scary!"

"Brat, you aren't a child anymore. Respect my father or I'll teach you respect." Sarah said in a threatening tone.

Primula gulped her saliva and stuck out her neck from behind Helena. In a weak voice that shouldn't have come out of someone who ruled a third of Hortus, she said. "B-But brother also calls him w-weak old m—"

"Var is my father's disciple before we were wife and husband. And their relationship is theirs to decide."

"W-Why is my relationship with him not mine to deci..." Primula's teeth chattered and her hair started to freeze.

Sarah had a kind smile on her face. "Yes, Primula, you were saying something?"

"Achuu!" Primula's rank 9 powers couldn't save her from the cold. Even wrapping her arms around herself, the girl began to shiver.

Cold, so fricking cold!

"Even though I'm the Queen, I've been very democratic in ruling. I listen to all opinions. So, you were saying something?" Sarah tilted her head with an encouraging expression.

Knowing her predicament, the brave girl immediately surrendered. "Yeah, yeah, you're right! You're absolutely right!"

While this small incident of 'disciplining' was happening, Varian was pulled into the main palace by Sia and Enigma.

It was a ocean-themed room. The interior was light blue with a soothing music of sirens playing in the background. The top of the room resembled the view of water as seen from the bottom of a lake or a river.

"..."

"If you dare to touch my husband...I don't know what I will do."

"...But I can have babies without touching? Never tried that stuff but it shouldn't be hard for a divine ranker."

"That's it!" The door slammed open and Sarah stormed in. Without giving Aurora a chance, the Queen dragged her away. Isadora covered her face and sighed. "She might not make it out alive."

"W-Wait! I was just saying, I don't really have such th—aaah!"

Pa! Pa! Pa!

The sounds of wood hitting flesh and a young woman's wails leaked into the palace from the outside, disturbing Varian's sleep. Realizing this, Isadora quickly used her powers to seal off the sounds.

Then, she joined Sia and Enigma to sit down and calm down her heart by staring at Varian.

It was a bit weird, even crazy but for her who thought she'd lose him forever, just seeing him and telling herself he's still alive was a big relief.

A few minutes later, Primula sneaked in. She wanted to sit beside Varian but Sarah gave her a smiling glance and the girl sat a few steps away.

Aurora walked in rubbing her hair. The beatings were okay but shaving her hair off was really atrocious! Why did Sarah learn such devious things? Even with her power, it took a while to regenerate her hair!

'If I really went out bald, won't my image damage? Miss Calamity will become Bald Calamity! Oh no!'

Aurora wanted to complain to whoever was willing to listen and if possible, who could avenge her. Looking at the people here, only Varian would even bother.

So, she mustered up the courage to complain but Sarah glanced at her and waved her hand.

With a dismayed face, Aurora walked back and sat beside the dispirited Primula.

The two looked at each other ad felt a hint of sympathy and then, there was a spark between their eyes. What's with this tyranny? They decided they'd demand liberty or accept death! So...

'You go!' 'No, you first.'

'Come on, you're older!' 'No, you are the older one!' 'You look old! I still look like a teenager!' 'O-Old? By human standards, I'm barely in my twenties! This is super, super young!' 'I am younger!' 'Then do as an elder says!'

'Elder, ever looked yourself in the mirror? No wonder you didn't have an army and always acted alone!'

'Haa? The army just can't keep up with me! And why would I need an army? I am the army!'

The two sheep scared by the tigress, ended up fighting with each other.
