Chapter 2175 - Fathers (2) (1/2)

Dyon lightly stroked Ri's hair.

”There's no need to worry.” He said softly. ”That old man is the one who runs those trials, he wouldn't dare take it too far on father-in-law or else he'll hear from me!”​​

Ri sniffled lightly and giggled, breathing in Dyon's scent.

Maybe only her husband would dare speak of threatening a Transcendent. But, judging by the change in the depth of his eyes… She felt that even if she didn't know Abraxus would never harm him, that she would believe he could do it anyway.

At the same time, she felt a sweetness in her heart. This was the first time Dyon had ever called King Acacia 'father'. Though she knew he was only doing it to appease her, she still loved his attention to detail. Only this sort of man was worth marrying, even if she had to share him.

Ri stood to the very tips of her toes and wrapped her arms around Dyon's neck, looking into his eyes with beautiful silver-blue pearls.

”Looks at you, a crying mess.” Dyon teased. ”What would all your countless pursuers think seeing their queen dripping tears and snot?”

Ri smiled. ”I'm sure they'd lead an army to kill the man who put me in this state. I'm afraid they'd blame you first. I hope you're powerful enough to fend them off.”

”My bones are weak and fragile, I'm too old to be doing such things anymore. Leave it to the youth. I'll let Little Alauna handle it.”

Ri pouted. ”I hear old men lose their prowess in bed.” She sighed lightly, as though lamenting a time long passed. ”I'll have to start conducting interviews. You may be old, but I'm still a young woman in the prime of my youth, I have needs.”

Dyon grinned evilly. ”Us old men might be lacking in certain areas, but we more than make it for it with experience.”

Dyon swept Ri away. But, he would have never expected that not even fifteen minutes later, Ri would be laughing hysterically. In fact, she could hardly hold it in. Due to her cultivation, even when she struggled to keep it down, her voice covered the whole of Elvin Territory within the Mortal Alliance.

Though Dyon was surprisingly unhappy to hear this laughter, Kawa, Ri's mother, finally smiled for the first time in a long time.

'… It seems that son-in-law of mine is back… Only he could make her smile and laugh now…' She sighed and looked off into the distance. '… When will you come back to my side… husband…?'
