Chapter 194: Changed Hometown (Part-2)
Kai and Alice were sitting side by side with both of their parents sitting opposite to them with serious expression.
Tarika who just sat down looked at her son who was sitting before them with determined eyes.
Alice's parents looked at Alice who was sitting beside Kai with a nervous expression. They didn't think that Kai would suddenly want to talk with them about marriage.
They are well aware that their daughter is deeply in love with Kai and have been searching for him since the time he had gone missing.
Kai went missing, when Kai went missing and that time they had thought it was just friendship but only later they understood that their daughter's feelings for Kai are greater than friendship and had thought that with time, it would go away. Instead her love only grew stronger with age; seeing their daughter trying relentlessly to find a person who seems like had disappeared from the world has been very painful for them.
But, all of a sudden Kai returned back four months ago and he was now a magic user who was in pair with townlord Alfred in combat power.
When they got the news both of them were surprised but also worried about their daughter.
They knew that Alice loved Kai. Yet, they were not sure about Kai's feelings.
The boy who had disappeared for eleven years and had no contact with his family and knew nothing about their daughter's feelings.
They have met Kai several times during Alice's absence and wanted to talk about their daughter.
Still each time they stopped due to hesitation and four days ago Alice told them that she had confessed their love to each other as well as Kai identity as King of Buraford Kingdom.
It was a surprising fact, John and Mary were astonished, that members of the Royal family live with them in this small unknown town.
Sitting before Kai, both John and Mary looked at Kai with concern about their daughter's future.
Alice may be a genius magic user but different between the social status and whether the royal family will even accept an unknown village girl as their daughter in law. These worries have become because of their stress and anxiety.
After all, Kai is King of Buraford Kingdom and their king. They wouldn't even dare to sit on the table beside him, if he had not given them the chance and told them to drop the formalities.
Looking at the worried expression on Alice's parents, Kai gently smiled.
He can understand what they are worried about.
Kai's parents on the other hand were completely relaxed, they know that Alice had feelings for Kai for a long time and are well aware about their son's feelings.
He would not have raised the topic by himself upon seeing Alice's parents and welcome them for discussion; if he was not serious.
Still thinking about various beautiful women and their noble background roaming around their son and their intuition tells them every time that they all have a special relationship with Kai.
Some even have deep feelings of love, loyalty and common mutual respect and are only awaiting for Kai to make a move on them.
Bolt also sometimes wonders something about his son's luck with women.
Thinking about the time when he had brought Daina with him to introduce her. Both of them were shaken by her beauty and the fact that she was older than them was even more hard to swallow.
Later, Kai also introduces Ellie, Maya, Kaya, Behemoon and someday they have met Morgina. Slowly and steadily without knowing themselves it has become a new normal for them. Just like the fact that his father, Yami is from the Royal family whom he had already met on many occasions.
The first time was an awkward moment as both of them didn't know how to start the conversation while her mother hugged both him and Tarika tearful eyes. He could feel that she had suffered very much all these years and was secretly watching over him.
Slowly and steadily over the time of three months, he had accepted his new identity and his father also had not forced his royal lifestyle upon him and often came to relax in the countryside; when his work overwhelmed him and went hunting with him.
He even complains about Kai's lazy behaviour but still never stops standing up for him.
Thinking about all that has happened, Bolt touched John's hands gently causing John to turn his head to look at him as their eyes met.
John and he had been friends for many years and lived like brothers and both families have helped each other in their times of need.
He doesn't want his friends to feel anxious just because of his new status.
Looking into his longtime friend's eyes and his expression, John understood what he wanted to say and looked at his wife with a smile, calming her anxious heart.
Turning around he looked at Bolt and nodded.
Finally he looked at Kai and his daughter.
Lowering his eyebrows with a calm expression he smiled.
"Kai, Alice. If you two want to get married and live together for the rest of your family. I nor Mary have any problem, you guys are already adults and intelligent enough to make decisions in your life. But I am still worried about Alice; will people from the royal family accept her?Can you promise that she will not be disrespectful and even if in the future you have another wife? She will receive the same respect and love from you."
Hearing that Kai looked at John with sincere eyes.
"Uncle John, you don't have to worry, I would not even have raised the topic of marriage if I was not serious about our relationship. I know that Alice has gone through these years and loves me from her heart and the same goes for me. I assure you that I Kai will never turn back on her and she will receive the same respect and love as any of my other wife in future."declared Kai as he looked at Alice who smiled at him and held his right hand gently.
"As for her getting accepted by the Royal family, you don't have to worry about that, my grandfather and grandmother have already met her during her time in the Royal capital. As for my uncle's I don't think they have courage to be disrespectful before Alice, knowing that she is my wife."
Hearing that John and Mary smiled"If it's so, then we have no problem from our side."
Bolt and Tarika also smiled.
Morrigan who was within the bathroom shakes her head as she washes her body. She could clearly hear everything going on outside and shook her head as she continued washing her body and waited for Alice and her parents to leave.
She didn't want to interfere with Kai's family affairs. Remembering her past self and her current life a sad expression appeared.
She just cannot get used to this lifestyle, most of her time, she had spent on killing people for bounty or at the battlefield, taking part in various wars. The thought of ever trying to live like an ordinary person never occurred to her, she only felt joy in killing and fighting with a stronger opponent but she was defeated by Kai and currently reduced to her current state and not to mention she had unknowingly lusting for Kai. She hates this feeling of helplessness but can't do anything, not to mention unknowingly her lust for Kai.
She just cannot forget about the taste of Kai blood and body that night.
'To think this queen has fallen so low and that person who had made me suffer like this spending his time joyfully with his family. He really is a cruel man; worthy to become my master.'
If Kai knew what was going on inside the twisted mind of Morrigan. He would have definitely told her to keep him away from his wild twisted fantasy.
[At the front door of Kai Parents house]
Kai and his parents said goodbye to Alice and her parents with a joyful smile on their face.
As they returned back inside, they found Morgan sitting beside the reception desk waiting for them to return while reading a book about Continent history.
Kai observed her for a moment and thought.
'Her transformation will be completed within ten pm. Good time to conduct the ritual.' and sit beside him to whisper into her ears to meet him passing tonight after the dinner.
Morrigan nodded and glimpsed at him for a moment and continued reading with indifference expression.
His father also sat beside him as they talked about today's hunting experience and Morrigan skills.
Hearing his father's adventure story, Kai looked at Morrigan with thankful eyes and continued listening to Bolt.
A rare smile appeared on her face listening to Kai's father praising her hunting and tracking skills.
The three sat beside each other as Tarika joyfully cooked the dinner with a joyful expression.
