Chapter 1686: Youre still beautiful (1/2)

Melinda and Merlin brought them to the guest room to welcome them, but...

”August, what's wrong? You're not coming with them, right?” Merlin asked directly.

”Um...” August raised his eyebrow, but the one who said those words was Merlin, the hero. It was a great thing that Merlin stayed in his kingdom. After all, with him around, the protection of his kingdom would become better, and at the same time, he also knew that if he was rude, Merlin, Melinda, and Shin might move, and their destination, without doubt, Els!

August knew that he couldn't let that happen, so he said, ”Merlin-sama, we, the royalty, have decided to give Shin Wolford a reward for his service to protect this kingdom from the devil.”

Merlin raised his eyebrows, and his expression started to change. ”Are you going to use my grandson as your political tool?”

”Of course not!” August quickly shook his head and said, ”If Shin is the one who slays the devil, then we might be able to give him a medal as a hero, but the one who has slain the devil is the army, so it isn't good to give him a medal, and we have decided to give him land and money for what he has done to the country.”

Merlin nodded and didn't care much about the royalty as long as they didn't use his grandson as a political tool, which was why he was glad that there was Haru here. After all, he didn't want his grandson to be trapped in this kingdom.

The Earlshide Kingdom might be a huge kingdom, but it was very fragile. After all, a single devil could destroy this peaceful kingdom, and Merlin also knew how important his grandson's power was to this kingdom, which was why he knew that the kingdom might do everything to get his grandson, but with Haru was here, everything couldn't go according to their plan.

Merlin knew that even though both Diseum (King of the Earlshide) and August might be good and their intentions were pure to befriend them, but no human was unselfish. He knew that both of them wanted to stay in this Earlshide Kingdom forever, which was why he was grateful for Haru's appearance, whose position didn't even lose to August, or rather, even better, but he wasn't sure why Haru was here. He then glanced at the four girls and twitched his lips, and had to admit that this guy really knew how to enjoy his life.

”Your Highness, don't forget about my reward too,” Haru said with a smile.

”Yes, you don't need to worry,” August said with a sigh, feeling that his position as a crown prince was useless in this place.

”Kasugano, you're already wealthy. What is the use of a little piece of land?” Melinda scolded Haru without hesitation.

”Guru, that's where you're wrong.” Haru shook his head and said, ”For example, a mother has two children, and this mother bought one of his other children a candy. It doesn't really matter if the other children don't know about it, but once this child knows, he will ask the candy too, right? So it'll be fair.” He shrugged his shoulders and said, ”I only want the royalty of the Earlshide Kingdom to be fair, or are they not fair?”

”No, we're fair,” August said without hesitation.

”That's good. I'm waiting for my land and money,” Haru said without looking away from August, and because of this, August looked away since August couldn't stand against the pressure from his stare.

”.....” They were speechless when a huge land and money was being compared to candy. Still, they couldn't refute Haru's words, after all, the one who said that it was a small piece of land was Melinda, but at the same time, they looked at the confrontation between August and Haru, before shaking their heads since they knew who was better.

Melinda laughed and said, ”Kasugano, no, Haru, can I call you that?”

”Yes.” Haru nodded with a smile, then said, ”And Guru, can I call you big sister?”

”Big sister?!” Everyone was dumbfounded.

”Like a wine, even though you've aged, I can see that your beauty is very well preserved,” Haru said with a sincere smile.

”...” Everyone was speechless since no one expected that Haru would flirt with Melinda Bowen.

Melinda blushed and coughed several times. ”Big sister is too much. I know my age very well, but you can call me Aunt Melinda or something.”

”Yes, Aunt Melinda,” Haru said with a cheeky smile.

'This guy....' Yuri, Lynn, Sicily, and Maria were speechless at how cheeky and shameless this guy was.

As expected, because of this, there was a strange atmosphere between Haru and Melinda for some reason.

'Eh? Eh? Eh?' Shin really couldn't understand what was happening in front of him. After all, his mind was pretty much simple, and all he could do was to think about magic.

”Cough! Cough!” Merlin coughed to change this strange atmosphere and asked, ”Haru, can I call you that too?”

”Yes.” Haru nodded with a smile and said, ”Should I call you Uncle Merlin too?”

Merlin was amused and said, ”I don't mind.” Unlike the stiff royalty, he liked Haru's style more, so without hesitation, he asked, ”Haru, I've heard that you've stopped the fire of Kurt before? May I ask how you can do that?”
