Chapter 660 Visiting in-laws (4)

After being in a daze for a second from being caught off guard by this, I quickly stood up and went over to help them up as I said, "Father in law, mother in law, there's no need for this."

Both of them looked up with smiles on their faces when they heard this before the duke said, "Hearing you call us this so readily really does make us happy. I hope that we can maintain this relationship in the future."

The duchess nodded in agreement to this.

"Mom, dad..." Veronica said in a touched voice.

I said with a nod, "Of course. I hope that we can have a good relationship in the future as well."

It seemed that I had been completely mistaken about the duke and duchess.

I had thought that they would look down on me since I was considered lower status than their daughter and would make it hard for me. I thought that I would have to pass some kind of test to get their approval to marry their daughter.

But it seemed that they had already planned on accepting me from the very beginning.

This was partly because of how difficult their daughter was to marry off in the beginning, but of course that wouldn't be the only thing. After all, the two of them clearly cared about their daughter very much.

Part of it was because of the happiness that their daughter showed which proved that she was happy with the person that she chose.

And the other part...was the look of approval that the duke had when he looked at me.

As a duke, I'm certain that he would have an extensive information network in this country. So he should be aware of the accomplishments that I had made during this time.

This was most likely where that look of approval came from.

It seemed that I had done enough to claim the approval of these in-laws of mine.

It seemed that this would wrap up quite nicely.

There was a flurry of questions that came at me, but that wasn't strange either.

So I just calmly replied to all of the questions.

At first, I had been planning on giving fifty wyverns to the duke, but I changed my mind afterwards. After seeing how accepting they were of me, my trust in the duke had grown and I decided to give them a hundred wyverns.

It would be a good thing if the duke had a hundred wyvern riders so he would be able to stay safe.

After all, Veronica would surely be sad if anything happened to her parents.

As for telling the royal family, I had already informed the fourth prince that I would be giving wyverns to people that I knew, so there was no need to worry about the royal family doing something about this.

The royal family already knew that it was impossible to monopolize this, so the fourth prince trusted me in finding people that could be trusted to care for the wyverns.

Once I answered all of his questions, the duke fell silent again.

With the look on his face, it was clear that he was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, so I didn't say a thing as I waited for him to finish thinking this through.

After a long silence, the duke finally gave a determined nod as he said, "Alright, I'll, take these wyverns."

I had already expected him to say this, but I could still admire his determination in this matter.

It was clear that he wasn't certain that this would be a safe matter for him, but he was willing to take this risk which was admirable.

I said with a nod, "You won't regret this. I promise that you'll see just how useful these wyverns are."

The duke looked at me with a faint smile as he said, "I'm not doing this because of that. I'm doing this because you are my son in law."

I was caught off guard by this sudden statement from him, but I still said with a nod, "Thank you."

It seemed that I would have a good relationship with Veronica's family from now on.
