Chapter 247 Reinforcment

"So, did you two take a decision?" Looking at the young girl and black hair boy in front of him, Velian questioned with his hand tapping on the table.

Beside him, Aiko stood with her eyes looking at the two people with a questioning gaze like she wanted to know their answer.

"Julie, answer him," Aiko said as she didn't want to see them being indecisive, especially in front of Velian.

Velian and Aiko sat across from Akiyo and Julie in the cosy living room. Akiyo shifted in his seat as his sister asked the question that had been on both of their minds.

"So, Akiyo, what's going on between you and Julie, are you ready to tell us your decision?" Aiko asked, her eyes narrowing slightly.

If this was a normal situation, Akiyo would have asked his sister to shut up since he didn't like it when she meddled, but in front of Velian, he didn't dare to do it.

Akiyo met her gaze squarely. "Well, sis, I really like Julie. She's amazing and I feel a strong connection with her. We've been talking and we both feel the same way about each other."

Julie nodded in agreement, her eyes shining with excitement.

"Yes, we really want to give this a shot. I know it might be weird since our situation is a little complicated, but we can't help how we feel."

Velian leaned forward, his eyes scanning Akiyo's face.

"And how do you feel about all of this, Akiyo? Are you sure this is what you want?"

Akiyo nodded confidently. "Yes, I'm sure. I know it might be unconventional, but I can't deny my feelings for Julie. I want to be with her."

Aiko looked thoughtful for a moment before finally nodding.

"Okay, I understand. If you both want to pursue this, we won't stand in your way. But you both need to be aware of the potential consequences and be prepared to deal with them."

Julie smiled gratefully at Aiko, her hand reaching for Akiyo's.

"Thank you so much. We'll make sure to handle everything maturely and respectfully."

"Julie, what did your brother say about this?" Velian questioned.

"Nothing much, he said to bring Akiyo so they can talk with each other, and I hope to do that shortly,"

Velian chuckled softly.

"Well, it looks like we have a love story in the making. Let's hope it's a good one,"

As soon as Velian gave permission both Akiyo and Julie board their heads and left the room on a happy note since they are now an official couple.

Akiyo didn't forget to thank his sister for all the support she gave unlike in normal circumstances when she almost bully him.

"Brother, are you going somewhere? I heard Juno talking about going with you," Aiko questioned as she was interested in the topic.

"Well~ Remi might need some help from us, so I thought personally helping her, Juno is the only one that is free right now, others also wanted to come but I don't want to delay our projects," Velian said as he remembered how busy his girls are.

Daphnia and Sariya were working on the documents and internal works of the kingdom with Lyra, so they were really busy during the daytime.

The same goes for Delviny, who was in charge of training and overlooking the army until the military organisation is formed.

Namoi couldn't leave because there were a lot of rumours about a mankiller, so she had to keep a keen eye on the city to capture the culprit red-handed.

Elda was busy with her teaching and finding new teachers for her school, so she couldn't leave the kingdom for the time being.

Juno was the only one that at least had some freedom, but still, she was working on her own projects so Velian was hesitant at first, but as soon as she got to know about his expedition, she insisted on coming so Velian decided to take her.

But for some reason, Aiko looked fidgety as soon as Velian told her about his trip.

"If you don't mind, I could join you, brother," She wanted to show her skills to Velian, so she understood that it was a big chance for her.

Velian stared at Aiko with a mixture of concern and reluctance.

"Aiko, are you sure you want to come with me to the future battlefield? It's not safe there, and I don't want to put you in harm's way."

But Aiko was insistent, she wanted to ask why he cared about her so much and even rejected her attempts, but she understood that deep down in Velian's heart he saw her as a younger sister that needed protection.

"I can be useful, Velian. I've been practising my magic with your mother, and I know I can help you fight against the enemy."

Velian sighed, realizing he wasn't going to win this argument, he didn't want to disappoint and push back Aiko anymore, so he decided to take her.

"Alright, fine. But please be careful and stay close to me, unless I order you won't go to the battle."

Aiko's eyes lit up with excitement. "Thank you, brother! I won't let you down."

She said with a happy smile and decided to ask for some tips from Daphnia to seduce Velian since they are going to be alone for a while.

But before she could leave Velian said something to Aiko, which really caused her to twitch and turn back.

"I'm sorry for pushing you back, you must have been waiting for me but I always pushed you back since you're not old enough, I didn't even let you become a mother for Aurora,"

Aiko looked at Velian with an awkward look, his words were true to some extent but one thing he got wrong was, he can't be disappointed about her current position.

"She already has seven mothers, brother,"

"So, I think I'm special to her in a special way since I'm her only sister, I'm not sad, I can wait for you as much as you want, but it's a little hard since you're close to me and you're holding other women in front of me,"

Velian and Aiko stayed silent for a few minutes after those words, but Velian broke his silence with rather surprising words.

"On your next birthday, I will take you, don't worry I won't hesitate anymore,"

Hearing it, Aiko happily smiled and hugged Velian hiding her blushing face on his chest and answered him.

"I'm waiting!"
