'... He would do so much for a small thing like seeing us smile... And why did he mean by saying he wanted me to as well?' Marina thought with puzzlement filling her heart.
So many different emotions and feelings were going through her head... She didn't even know what was going on anymore...
However, when she took one more look at that warm smile on his face, all her queries seemed to fade away.
"I included you in that statement because I plan to help you with the SubBurn Kingdom as well," Azmond replied with a soft voice.
"... Help me as well?" Marina mumbled.
She didn't know the last time someone had actually said they wanted to 'help' her without some hidden intentions. And she assumed that that was the case for this 'help' as well.
But when she saw no sign of any secret intent in his eyes, she became even more confused.
"I-I don't understand... Why would you want to help both me and my daughter?" She murmured.
There must be something more to it than just seeing them smile, right!? No one's crazy enough to go to war with a High-Rank Kingdom and an Empire just for two women's smiles!
And that wasn't even to mention Azmond's insufficient strength as he made such bold claims!
But, in spite of her thoughts, all he had to say in response was, "I told you, I just think it's unfortunate for two beautiful women to be subjected to fates like that."
Azmond thought about the matter for a second before he suddenly remembered something as he added, "Oh, and if you're worried about me demanding your body or your daughter's, then don't, because I don't want anything except your happiness in return."
His words sounded out like a cool spring breeze as they left Marina utterly stunned.
"S-So that stuff about me being your woman-?"
"Well, as you said, I need to have something to back me up when I go after the FireGod Empire," Azmond interjected.
"You can just think of it as merely something on paper, only without the paper, haha~" He added with a small chuckle.
It looked like he took this matter very seriously!
Of course, it was as he should, considering the ludicrous words that flew out of the sexy Milf's mouth!
Had she already gone insane enough to start thinking that she was unattractive just because of her age!?
Azmond had a new objective in mind, and that was helping the lonely Milf come back to reality!
"A mirror?" Marina questioned.
She wasn't understanding what he was trying to say. Did he want to rub her aged appearance in her face or something?
But he didn't seem like that type of person
"Yes, a mirror." Azmond began with a staid countenance.
"Since you clearly don't know how undeniably gorgeous you are, I thought this would be the best way to get you to realize the truth!"
"... The truth?"
"Yes, the truth is that you are beautiful, and you should know it and own it!" Azmond exclaimed.
He believed in womanpower, and seeing a woman be so unaware of the power her appearance held was unacceptable!
So he made it his mission to get her out of the clearly delirious pit she found herself inside of!
"..." Marina heard the flirtatious words that came out of Azmond's mouth and looked at the determined look on his face before she mumbled, "W-Why are you so stupid?"
"Hmm? What was that?" Azmond asked.
Marina turned her flushed face away from his before she muttered, "N-Nothing... Just do whatever you want, playboy pervert!"
She went into full tsundere mode as she harrumphed and averted her gaze away from that stupid, handsome face of his.
