Chapter 162 162 - Ring

Chapter 162 162 - Ring

As he watched those two women, mother and daughters, lying with serene faces, several thoughts ran through Ryan's head.

'What are the duties of the Silvermoon clan leader?'

Kyouko had said that he would need to take on that responsibility, but she hadn't confirmed that the same would happen if he took it upon himself. If that was the case, he would now have to carry a much greater weight than he had previously imagined.

'Anyway, the support of a consolidated clan will help me. Now I just need to deal with that other...'

<Lightstone...>

It took a few hours for the two to wake up, in the meantime, Ryan took the opportunity to walk to the library of the moon palace. Unlike what he expected, that building seemed to be always empty. There were no butlers, no maids and not even any members of the Silvermoon clan.

"This is almost like a prison just for them..." he said aloud.

*Step

"You're right, this is a prison of sorts" said Kyouko, who had just passed through the door that led to the library room.

The room was hexagonal in shape, with six gigantic shelves on each of the walls. The books stretched from the floor to the top of the building, the amount of documents in that single room was staggering. While it didn't rival the size of a magic academy library, to think that this was just one of the clan's reading rooms made the Silvermoons' power all the more evident.

"And why would they lock you up in a prison? That doesn't make much sense" said Ryan, who was staring intently into the silver eyes of that wonderful woman.

"The silvermoon clan is not exactly a family, in the old days, we were three rival clans from the far east region"

Then Kyouko began to explain how it all came about. The truth about the moon palace and the truth about the situation she found herself in, which was far from a dream.

The Moon Palace was built as soon as Kyouko was born, at first, the project was meant to be a home for the matriarch and patriarch of the Silvermoon clan. Kyouko's group, wanted to protect the next heir, but on the day of her birth, a brutal murder took place.

Rin's grandmother and grandfather were killed by the other side of the clan, and taking advantage of the construction of the palace, the group sent Kyouko to be cared for within that safe area. She grew up lonely and due to her status as a matriarch at a young age, she didn't have many options.

Kyouko possessed very low magical resistance, and to keep her safe, her clan faction opted to keep her her entire life inside the moon palace. When Rin was born, they first anxiously hoped she would be a boy, but when she demonstrated her superhuman abilities and strength, she was released from imprisonment.

As a prodigy, all three factions of the SIlvermoon accepted the presence of the new generation with pride. And to prevent someone else from taking the post of patriarch, they opted to keep Kyouko locked up in the Moon Palace until Rin came of age and could marry someone from the clan.

Rin denied any suitors, and even if they tried to kill Kyouko, she would get in the way. This created an intense feud in the clan, causing the still teenage Rin to eliminate dozens of soldiers from the opposing factions.

Now in a moment of peace, the agreement that the next matriarch would be Rin still stands, and to avoid the gazes towards Kyouko, she remains locked in the palace.

"So I ended up ruining your plans" Ryan said, with a defeated smile.

"Not really, if you accept my daughter, I can remove myself from the position of matriarch. I don't have to die to pass that position" Kyouko said, as she ran her tongue across her own red lips.

Reaching out one of her hands, she grasped Ryan's chin. She had a dangerous smile on her face, and like a cunning fox, she reached up and placed a kiss on his mouth. Slowly pulling away, she bent towards him, spreading both hands across the wooden floor as she knelt.

"Thank you for the kiss, Master Ryan Whitemane Silvermoon"

<eh?>

- What?

"I think that name suits you," said Rin, who was sitting on a bench across the room. The girl had appeared like a shadow, appearing without Ryan being able to comprehend what had happened.

"So, is that it?" he said, confused, looking at the two girls suspiciously.

"Apparently, we're married now," Rin said, with a big smile on her face.

"We're married..."

As much as Kyouko and Rin were in the mood for a slightly more elaborate ceremony, Ryan now had bigger problems to deal with. 'The girls are going to kill me....'

As much as Kyouko and Rin were in the mood for a slightly more elaborate ceremony, Ryan now had bigger problems to deal with. Aware of the guild's situation, the three began to think about what they could do with the support of the Silvermoon clan.

"First, let's announce that Rin and Ryan got married. After that, let's mobilize the skill scrolls for Ryan, the clan also has an arsenal and a good intelligence group. I don't think they will deny his position as patriarch" said Kyouko.

"I thought the clan would deny my position, am I not practically taking over?" Ryan said, confused.

Mother and daughter then looked at each other and started laughing, at a relatively high volume.

"Of course not!" said Rin, "The position of patriarch is less important than that of matriarch, but the absence of a patriarch makes the clan factions have more freedom. That's why they were afraid my mother would marry someone they didn't want."

"And why don't they have that same fear with you?" Ryan questioned.

Kyouko looked at her daughter with eyes full of pride, and then said "Rin can defeat the whole clan with ease, so no one would oppose her. Even more so after that night of killing"

The two continued to laugh, while Ryan could only think of how many people innocent little Rin had already eliminated.

With a consolidated plan, Ryan and Rin returned through the portal to the apartment in Neodrazzi's academy dormitory.

"Let's hope for a red portal reading, I think we need to understand Aether was also someone relatively trustworthy"

"Maybe it's not the best option to question it now. My relationship what they're doing with those batteries first" said Rin.

"I'm still a bit bothered by that, John seemed like a nice person, and Aether was also someone relatively trustworthy"

"Maybe it's not the best option to question it now. My relationship with John Wrynn has always been troubled, but it's best for now to look at both of them with suspicion."

Rin then passed through the portal again, now heading towards her own home. The two said goodbye with a kiss, and tired, Ryan plopped down on the couch.

*Ring* The doorbell rang and the door opened. The sound of the doorknob opening and closing broke the silence that consumed that apartment.

The wonderful red haired milf and the blue haired elf appeared. And taking a step back they were startled to look at Ryan, he seemed to be tired, with a closed face of anger that he had not shown in a long time.

"What happened?" Lyza said, and soon after Olivia added "Are you alright?"

Ryan was thinking about what to do, and how to handle that situation. Sighing, he stood up and looked deep into the eyes of both girls, alternating between the two as he stood with an intense posture.

"You want to marry me?" he said.

"What the fuck are you talking about kid?"

"YES!"

Lyza was startled by that, she was holding herself from smiling, but this news was surprising to her. Olivia was happy with that message, so happy that tears started to fall from her eyes.

The elf had a red face, and drying her tears she couldn't stop smiling.

"Are YOU okay?" said the redhead, who turned to the elf and put one of her hands on the girl's back.

"I am, I'm just, so glad that it's happening"

Lyza sighed and looked at Ryan. "I accept it too, but that was a really bad marriage proposal, okay?"

Ryan laughed at that and then nodded. "I'm sorry, I was just overthinking about it."

With a message on his cell phone, he called for the other girls who came running. By the end of the night, he had given each of them a gold ring with a crystal that matched the element and color each of them possessed.

Lyza received a ring with a red stone

Laila received a ring with a dark blue stone

Olivia received a ring with a light blue stone

Alice received a ring with a sun stone

Sara received a ring with a volcano core

Rose received a ring with a pink crystal

Ellen received a ring with a nature heart

and Sylvanna received a ring with a crystal of the night

These were the rings he had already prepared before thinking about this proposal. There were still some missing, but he would deal with that problem later. Now that he had solved it, his mind seemed to be lighter.

With a kiss on each of his girls, he seemed more confident. His eyes shone with an intense light that came with the sound of a notification.
