Chapter 269: Happy Sara and plans
Sara started at the grandpa with incredulous eyes, for she hadn’t expected to see him in such a scenario. And yet, her powerful and mysterious grandpa worked on Earth for a weak human, no less.
It was a surreal feeling.
But as Alex explained some stuff about Thanas and his lacking communication skills, Sara knew that everything was a bad misunderstanding.
She still had suffered a lot, from her husband’s betrayal to him calling forces to chase after her and her daughter.
The memories and feelings associated with that event flashed in Sara’s mind. It took her some time to settle down and face the Dullahan Grandpa properly.
Thanas also didn’t say anything. He knew what had happened and how everything ended… As he glanced at Alex, an unfamiliar feeling sprouted within him, for he was the main cause of Sara’s happiness.
If it weren’t him but someone else taking the position of Sara’s husband, how would her and the little one’s lives end?
Everything stemmed from the lack of communication skills, so Thanas took the blame from the bottom of his heart. He naturally couldn’t show it on his face, though. That was yet another part of his.
“It’s been a while, grandpa… A lot must have happened in your life…” Sara glanced at the human before her, then her eyes gleamed in confidence as the new resolution bloomed within her hues, “How are you going to make up for my and your granddaughter’s loss?”
Thanas closed his eyes, “I am not asking your husband for a sword, even though it carries the ancestor’s strength.”
“That’s not enough, grandpa,” Sara replied immediately after Thanas finished his words, surprising him.
He knew about her, so Thanas didn’t expect Sara to be this oppressive.
But after quenching down all her feelings, Sara decided to try to be friends with the Dullahan Kingdom and their family again. That place was her home, and Celia also had a bigger family.
They were an odd group, but Celia and Sara were still connected to this kingdom with their blood ties.
But for what she had to go through together with her precious daughter, Sara first needed proper compensation for her ordeal.
And as Alex saw through Sara, he didn’t say anything. He knew that Sara would be only able to start building new ties with the dullahans for the second time after they properly apologized for their mistakes.
Thanas sighed, “What do you want?”
Sara’s eyes twinkled, for she finally found a good source of strength. In the Dullahan Kingdom, she would be able to further polish her style and get even more skills that were only available to the royalty.
Many lands were reserved for the strong descendants.
“The truth is that I’ve suffered a significant loss, grandpa. I couldn’t face our enemies and fight for my precious family. I don’t want to suffer the same fate, so I want to take everything best from the Dullahan Kingdom.
Yes, I will be that selfish,” Sara said confidently, her eyes reflecting her resolution.
Those words would’ve thrown every king into madness, for taking away the best stuff for one individual was already too presumptuous, let alone half-breed. Even worse, Sara surely wouldn’t live in the Dullahan Kingdom.
She would follow her husband, and her child would be the same.
They all would live with the guy known as Alexander.
But as Sara had given birth to the girl with The Authority, Thanas had to think twice and much differently. He also glanced furtively at Alex, for he surely was the cause of Sara being here.
He whispered, “How did you come here?”
“We don’t know,” Sara lied, for she was actually the only lady who exactly knew what had happened. But as she had respect for Harvey and his wisdom, she didn’t dare to reveal anything.
Thanas didn’t react to these words, keeping the same tired and emotionless expression, “You both will get access to the Ancestral Grounds in the Dullahan Kingdom.
You will be tested by the ancestors, both of you… That is if you manage to find them,” Thanas explained.
Sara’s face lit up with happiness as she heard about those lands. It was a challenge to all royalties, and many dullahans turned much stronger after successfully overcoming trials awaiting them here.
And as Sara had received the second chance, she would have the respawning body in the Avander World, like players. No matter what challenge appeared, she would pursue it to get the best rewards.
“Thank you, grandpa!” Sara extended her hands, grasping Thanas’ to convey her elation and happiness.
And as these two stared into each other with many different emotions, Alex coughed, sharing his invitation, “I’ve received an invitation to the Dullahan Kingdom. But that’s only for level three hundred.”
“I want you two to go here. You will be only able to step into the grounds as the dullahan, so you must bring the sword with you. It also should help you with the trials,” Thanas said, “As for that invitation, keep it to yourself. It might become a permanent invitation to our realm should you both amaze others.”
Alex smiled, “I just wanted to know, for I don’t want to cause trouble to Natalia. She was a great help in our fight against the prince… And Natalia sees ahead more than anyone else, so she’s a good person to befriend.”
Thanas found a flaw in Alex’s words but remained silent. He just sent him an odd glance, for a man shouldn’t ‘befriend’ influential girls but make them his!
He then looked at Sara, “You know that Natalia killed him?”
By him, Thanas meant Sara’s former husband. Those words caused a ripple in Sara’s eyes, for she couldn’t kill Henred. That was because of her heart and the fact that this man was Celia’s father.
But as that news reached her, Sara quickly composed herself, “So that’s how it has ended for him.”
It was true that Henred had given warmth to Sara. However, it couldn’t amount to what Alex had already given to her. And in fact, Alex was many steps behind Henred, for he hadn’t married Sara officially, and they also didn’t have the fruit of their love yet.
And even with all of this, Alex had already made Sara feel warmer at heart. He made her smile more and feel happiness. She had a good family, a happy daughter, and even ties with her dullahan family slowly started fixing themselves.
Sara whispered, “If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have Celia… If it weren’t for his egoistic self, I wouldn’t have met the love of my life. I wouldn’t feel real happiness and love, so I am glad for what he has done for me.
And I hate him for the rest… Because of that, I couldn’t bring myself to end his life… But deep inwardly, I know… that he no longer has any place in my life. That I would never exchange words with him…
Maybe it was naive of me… But as everything has happened, I don’t really feel anything toward him anymore… I am on a new path and will do all to see its end with Alex, Celia, and my sisters…
And his future wives, I hope,” Sara rolled her eyes, thinking that her handsome husband would smite many girls in the future. Although she knew it wouldn’t be possible for her to be on good terms with everyone like she was with Remia, she hoped that Alex would never face the same fate as his father had done.
It was just… too sad.
Alex couldn’t believe her words, “What are you talking about now?”
“Ah!” Sara clenched her head, for Alex had given her a noogie.
Thanas stared at them emotionlessly, yet for a second, his lips curved into a faint smile, which Alex didn’t miss.
And if he knew his father’s story, he also would’ve known the meaning of her words.
But as Sara quickly changed the topic, Alex focused only on her. She was one of his wives, and he always ensured she felt content in her relationship.
“Grandpa, how is your life here?” Sara asked, shifting to more casual topics, for she wanted to build her relationship with grandpa anew.
Thanas looked around, sighing, “It’s hard here. I have never listened to so much nagging…”
“Haha!” Sara laughed, covering her lips as she didn’t expect it to be the first thing her powerful grandpa would talk about.
And as these two talked, Alex went to buy some cold drinks. He returned, seeing them all having a nice and pleasant talk.
He smiled, “Now, if I only could bring you here, Celia…” It would be just perfect.
After returning with drinks, Alex silently listened to their talk while holding Sara’s hands. And as he felt her warmth, Alex could tell that everything was getting better between her and her grandpa.
At last, the mother’s family soon would be by her side!
And that was the best, for Elias Deathwill no longer had a place in their family and Sara’s heart. How would his fate end, however?
Would it be the same as Henred, but just with his daughters killing him? Would his wives assist their daughter or something else would happen as Alexander Deathwill’s every day was quite significant and filled with many events?
Alex didn’t know… But he had his own plans.
Plans for his stronger self.
Plans for his beloveds.
Plans… for his family.
Alex wasn’t sure about his plans, but he would continue moving forward with his principles, getting better at being husband, father, and swordsman every day!
