Chapter 302 38

Novel Top1.OR G

Kalya and Princess Freya ran and jumped into the arms of the man in front of them. Ziel caught the two girls and hugged them gently. He could feel his clothes wet because Kalya and Princess Freya were crying. Ziel felt guilty for making them worry.

Clara, Princess Aishia, and the other girls were also crying and worried about him. It made Ziel even more guilty after remembering what he had done with Azalia last night.

"Can you stop crying? Haven't I returned safely now?" Ziel looked at Princess Aishia and the others. He couldn't bear to see the expressions on their faces. The girls tried to stop crying, but the tears didn't stop flowing from their eyes.

After Kalya and the girls had calmed down and stopped crying, they returned to their seats. Ziel sat in the middle and looked like the family head. He was a little depressed under their gazes. Ziel felt like a prisoner being interrogated.

"So, what happened there, Ziel?" Kalya quickly asked, representing the feelings of the girls.

"Ah, that's..." Ziel started to explain the chronology of yesterday's battle. He recounted when he came to the Rubelia Kingdom's territory and his fight against the Archaic Knights because the other party had injured Azalia. Ziel also explained their battle process and how he defeated the Archaic Knights. Ziel didn't hide anything in his story from Kalya and the girls except what he had done with Azalia.

"So the person who attacked Azalia was The Archaic Knight, whose strength exceeds the two guardians you defeated?" Kalya reconfirmed Ziel's explanation. Although she and the girls had guessed that Ziel's opponent was the guardian of the continent, they didn't expect that the Archaic Knights would be so much stronger than the Sacred Demonel and The nine-headed imperial dragon.

If Ziel didn't have the power of two continent's guardians, the girls knew he would lose against the Archaic Knights. It made Kalya and the girls afraid to imagine it. They became even more worried after they learned of the Archaic Knight's words to Ziel about the final guardian.

"Then what about the current situation in the Rubelia Kingdom? Your battle didn't ravage the kingdom's territory, did it?" Princess Freya asked worriedly.

After they saw the pillar of light piercing the sky, the kings guessed it happened around the Rubelia Kingdom's territory. Therefore King Gustave immediately contacted the people in the castle in his kingdom.

Unfortunately, they still haven't received any news until now. But after hearing Ziel's explanation, the girls finally knew that the king's conjecture was correct. The problem is how much damage and casualties there are. Judging from the battle between Ziel and the Sacred Demonel, the girls were sure that the current situation in the territory of the Rubelia Kingdom must be dire.

"The castle and the capital of the Rubelia Kingdom had been destroyed by the Archaic Knights when I arrived. But rest assured that the damage isn't as severe as when I fought the Sacred Demonel since our battle was far from populated areas because I led him to the borders of the earth dragon desert." Ziel saw the worry on the girls' faces. He knew what they were thinking right now.

If it weren't for a state of necessity, Ziel wouldn't have fought in a densely populated area knowing that the damage would be enormous. He didn't want to be branded a cold-blooded killer for slaughtering innocent people. That's what made Kalya and the girls worried.

Kalya and the girls let out a sigh of relief after hearing Ziel's explanation. If possible, they didn't want Ziel to kill innocent people, intentional or not. The girls feared it might become the devil in his heart one day.

"May I share this information with my father and the other kings? This is an important issue and needs to be discussed in the Five Kingdoms Conference." Princess Freya asked. The information from Ziel was essential to his father and the other kings as it concerned the human region. But she had to ask Ziel's opinion first before doing so. Princess Freya wouldn't have told anyone if Ziel didn't give his permission.

"I have no problem with that. But you can't tell them that the information came from me." Ziel nodded in agreement to Princess Freya's words.

It was crucial for the kingdom's rulers, not only for the human race but also for the other races on the Clorius continent. Because every time the continent guardians appeared to eliminate the irregulars, the damage they inflicted was terrifying.

Even though the girls knew it wasn't entirely the fault of the continent's guards, it happened because they first targeted the irregulars, and a battle to death was inevitable when they met.

Of course, Kalya and the girls would stand up for Ziel because they knew he was on the right side. They knew that Ziel wouldn't fight and cause damage to the surroundings if the continent's guardians didn't provoke him first.

"I understand about it! Thank you, Ziel! In that case, I will immediately tell my father about this matter so that it can be discussed in the Five Kingdoms Conference." Princess Freya smiled broadly and felt very grateful to Ziel. Then she got up from her seat and hurriedly left the room to tell his father the information she had gotten from Ziel.

Kalya and the girls could only shake their heads at Princess Freya's behavior. After the door closed, they turned their attention back to Ziel. But before the girls could ask him another question, Ziel opened his mouth first.

"Alright, let's put that matter aside for now. Please tell me in detail the situation that happened after I left. The earth dragon emperor also appeared among the horde during the dragon invasion. Is that true?" Ziel looked at the faces of the girls at the table.

Kalya, Clara, and the girls looked at each other and smiled broadly. After that, they started to talk about their battle. They tell about their struggles against hordes of earth dragons, fortress dragons, metal dragons, and their fierce fight against earth dragon emperors.

The girls explained excitedly, and that made Ziel curl his lips. He didn't expect their combat power to increase much in that battle. Ziel felt happy after hearing that. Moreover, he would feel more at ease leaving them in the future if he was faced with a situation where he was forced to stay away from them. When Ziel was slightly lost in his thought, Clara suddenly said and returned him to his senses.

"Since we have managed to defeat the dragons, we want a reward from you." Clara said with a hopeful face. Not only her, even Kalya and the other girls at the table looked at him with the same expression.

"Hmm? Did I promise you that before I went to help Azalia? I'm sorry, but I completely forgot about it." Ziel was confused by Clara's words. He dug up his memories and was sure he had never promised them. But since the girls had already said it, he had to reconfirm it because he might have forgotten his promise.

"You didn't promise us anything like that. But we took the initiative to ask you for our success in defeating the dragons." Princess Aishia spoke on behalf of the girls.

"You won't refuse our request, will you?" Kalya smiled intimidatingly. Clara and the other girls also showed the same expression as her. Ziel couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head at their behavior.

"How could I possibly refuse that request if you already cooperated? I have no other choice but to reward you. So what do you want? Do you want an artifact or a piece of jewelry?" Ziel knew there was nothing he could do after the girls conspired. After all, he had no intention of turning down the girls' requests from the start because he didn't want to disappoint them.

"Hmm... that's an interesting offer, but that's not what we want from you as a reward. If we want things like that, we have to ask you, and you will give them to us. Isn't that so, girls?" Kalya looks at the girls at the table. They nodded in unison in response to Kalya's words. Ziel was a little surprised at their reaction.

"So what do you want?" Ziel said helplessly.

"Our request is simple. We want you to accompany each of us for a whole day." The one who answered Ziel's question was Clara. Princess Iris, Princess Aishia, and Kyouka looked embarrassed to say it.

"Hmm... what do you mean by that, my lady?" Ziel still didn't know what Clara meant because it sounded ambiguous. He didn't want to misunderstand her sentence. The meaning of the word 'accompany' in Clara's sentence can make a man think in another direction. Therefore Ziel had to reconfirm her words.

"Ziel will misunderstand if you put it in a sentence like that, Clara." Princess Aishia reminded, and her face turned red for some reason. But she wasn't the only one who reacted like that. Princess Iris and Kyouka also had the same expression as her. On the other hand, Kalya could only shake her head at Clara's choice of words in her sentence.

"Eh? did I speak wrong?" Clara looked at the girls around her and tilted her head cutely.

"You're not wrong. It's just... all right. Let me say it to Ziel." Kalya sighed and found it challenging to fix Clara's sentence. If she had to do it, she had also to explain the other meaning of Clara's words, which would make all the men who heard it excited. Then Kalya turned her eyes to Ziel.

"We want you to accompany each of us on a date in the city for a full day." Kalya clearly says the requests of the girls.

"Are you sure that's the reward you want?" Ziel looked at Clara, Princess Iris, Princess Aishia, and Kyouka. He had to make sure it was their request. Ziel is aware that Princess Aishia and Clara have affection for him as the opposite sex, but he doesn't know about the other two.

The girls nodded shyly in response to Ziel's gaze. Even though Princess Iris and Kyouka had Shiori's memories of merging with her soul, Ziel didn't want it to affect their feelings and mindset. Of course, He wouldn't refuse if it was their wish.

"Okay. You can tell me after you determine the time." Ziel smiled and agreed.

"We've set the time!" Clara replied cheerfully.

"When?" Ziel saw the girls smiling broadly and knew that they had determined all this and was sure that he would accept their request.

"Since today is the last day of the Five Kingdoms Conference, we will do it after we return to the academy." Kalya answered Ziel's question and closed their conversation.

Time passed quickly, and the day had turned into night. Ziel was currently lying on the bed with Kalya in his arms. He had told her about what he did with Azalia, which he couldn't speak about in front of the other girls. At first, he was hesitant to say it because he was worried about Kalya's reaction, but it turned out to be just an unnecessary feeling because the other party didn't mind it.

"Didn't I already say that I don't mind if you have another woman? As long as I occupy the most special place in your heart, then that's enough. Coincidentally, I also want to discuss the matter with you." Kalya smiled sweetly and looked at Ziel with gentle eyes.

"What problem do you want to talk about?" Ziel didn't understand those words. But he felt it had something to do with Clara and the other girls.

"Freya and I are willing to accept those girls in our little family." Kalya said with determination, without the slightest doubt on her face.

"Hmm? Hmm? Have you actually discussed it with them and confirmed that it is what they want?" Ziel still couldn't see girls other than Kalya, Azalia and Freya in a romantic relationship. But he couldn't deny that they were attractive girls. If that was what the girls wanted and Kalya had accepted it, he couldn't say anything about it.

"Of course. I wouldn't dare say that to you if I hadn't confirmed it straight from their mouths." Kalya said seriously. Ziel was pensive after hearing her words. Then Kalya opened her mouth again before Ziel could speak.

"We love you, Ziel. We are more than willing to live with you forever." Kalya hugged Ziel tightly and said lovingly.
