Chapter 2207 - See (3) (1/2)
Dyon smiled bitterly at his daughter's exclamation. He wasn't planning on revealing the true extent of his and Luna's, not to mention Alauna's, relationships. At least not yet, at the very least. However, he didn't expect that his usually obedient Little Alauna would actually play such a mischievous trick now.
With how intelligent his daughter was, Dyon didn't believe for a single instant that she made an honest mistake, calling out to him on reflex. There was no doubt in his mind that she had done it on purpose.
Alauna floated down from the skies and landed before covering her mouth as though she had made an oopsie. However, seeing her father's expression, she knew that her act had been seen through.
Madeleine giggled, standing up to greet and pinch Alauna's cheeks.
”You little troublemaker.”
”Ow, ow. Momma Madeleine, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.” Alauna pouted adorably, trying to run away from Madeleine's piercing fingers.
Dyon sighed. Although his daughter had just now made his future path more difficult, he didn't have the heart to scold her. He knew exactly why she had done such a thing.
Little Alauna obviously loved her mother no less than she loved Dyon. Their relationship as mother and child was exceptionally close as well, especially in recent times with Alauna helping Luna to manage the Heavenly Sprites.
Her scheme's goal was obvious. She wanted Dyon to accept Luna, or at the very least, give Luna the status she deserved. Even if she could not be Dyon's wife, Dyon should at the very least not hide the fact they had a child together.
If others knew Alauna's thoughts, they'd probably spew blood.
To them, Luna, the Unblemished One, was a mighty existence that stood above practically every woman on the Mortal Plane. If anything, hiding Dyon's status as the father of her child was more beneficial to her reputation. Why did Alauna seem to think that being the mother of Dyon's child was such a lofty position?
But who could explain the love of a daughter for her father? In Alauna's eyes, there was no man greater than her own father. So, of course she saw the status of being his woman as a great one that her mother deserved.
”What… What did you just call him?”
Bowaye was a man of sturdy stature. He stood at more than seven feet tall and was the number one ranked genius of the Earthen Sprites. While most sprites had weak bodies, he was an exception, having a frame brimming with power.
Much like his standing, his temperament was as motionless as a mountain. Of the eight kneeling geniuses, he was the only one who had not spoken a word from start to finish. He was only silently etching this humiliation into his Dao Heart, tempering himself and fueling his dėsɨrė to grow stronger.
Of the eight, he was the only one who caught Dyon's attention. In fact, Dyon almost had the impulse to make him his third disciple. This sort of character was truly worth nurturing… Though, whether he accepted or not was an entirely different matter.
This aside, even Bowaye couldn't help but tremble at Alauna's words. The revelations were too astounding.
Dyon knew that this matter couldn't be hidden. When these eight geniuses were sent in, they were obviously sent with various monitoring mechanisms so those old fogies on the outside could see what was happening without directly interfering. There was no doubt they were currently running around with their hair on fire seeing their prided geniuses easily subdued like this.
But who would have known that the Heavenly Sprite elder would be correct? She had sneered and accepted their request, knowing that Alauna would never attack Dyon.
