Chapter 10 (Children)
As Roland said, she was only here to deliver two messages. As soon as the news was finished, she left Deklaas's house, not wanting to stay any longer.
These two pieces of news have no effect on Deklaas himself and Lily, and Messena, but it is a bit big for Milena and Rita. They were all born and raised in Shengyao, and Shengyao didn't hurt them too much. Therefore, some of them still want to return to the Shengyao Empire.
However, if Deklaas didn't go back, no matter what the two of them thought, they were just thinking.
Deklaas is an undead, he doesn't believe in the living people of the Holy Yao Empire, and those living people don't believe in him. So for Deklaas, it's the same whether he can return to his hometown "Hattutas".
However, what Milina and Rita were thinking, Deklaas was clearly aware of. Although he would not take a stand, he was also a little displeased. Milina and Rita, both before and now, like to say that they want to stay with Deklaas forever, but they are always at odds.
This is the least favorite thing for Deklaas, which is that others say good things and don't keep promises. He hated Pamia, not because he had taken away his talent to be a priest, but because she would not keep her promise that she would marry him, and that she had fooled him of his affection and love.
After breakfast, Deklaas went out for a ride. No one knew he went, but when he returned, he brought back a book to learn the Elven language.
It was clear that he was already preparing to translate the scroll of the Sunlight Elf. Although this time the operation and investigation, Deklaas only planned to take Messena, but because of Otos, it is very likely that it will be replaced by Lily.
In this regard, both Milina and Rita felt that it was an opportunity. This investigation and translation is based on the fact that Deklaas is a high-level alchemist and participates in the construction of the Fierce Wolf Empire's control over important cities in the Yuesen Kingdom. And every high-level alchemist will more or less have one or two assistants, otherwise, it will be too shabby for others to believe.
So the position of this assistant has become the target for Milina and Rita to compete for. Although Messena has not been replaced at this time, they are only simple and small, and there are some quarrels in private. But it didn't let anyone else see it... Forehead... Except for the Decraas...
To be honest, Deklaas was a little unhappy about the idea of his two daughters wanting to return to their hometown and competing for the position of this assistant. Although he doesn't care much about these two disobedient daughters now, their thoughts and practices still make him a little unhappy to a greater or lesser extent.
In the afternoon, he deliberately avoided Milina and Rita and began to tutor Lily and Messena in Elven language. Among them, whether it is Mecina or Lily, they all have some knowledge of elven language in their lives with Deklaas. Moreover, they just need to know a few simple sentences and words, and they don't have to deal with those elves.
Although there is nothing out of the ordinary in this move, the act of avoiding meaning makes Milina and Rita a little angry and sad. So, after dinner, the two of them found Deklaas and wanted to have a good talk with him.
"Tell me, what do you two want to say??" Deklaas asked, sitting on the sofa in the study, holding his head with his hands, somewhat casually.
"Dad, the two of us... I want to go to the Tsukimori Kingdom with you. Milina and Rita looked at each other for a moment, and then Milina, who was the older sister, said what was in their hearts.
"Oh~~~~ yes??, but why should I take you there??Isn't it better than the two of you to have Methana and my girlfriend??" Deklaas smiled lightly and said very easily.
"Don't hide it from me and Rita. She's a mom thing, we already knew it on day one. Seeing that Deklaas didn't take the two of them in mind, Milina was a little impatient to tell Lily about it.
"I know you two do. But what does this have to do with me taking you two with me??" Deklaas still had a smile on his face, but it was a little less than before.
"Dad, maybe we didn't do it right, but we're a lot better than Mom, right??At least we won't..." Because she saw that the smile on Deklaas's face had completely disappeared. Looking at Deklaas's expressionless face, Milina and the others couldn't help but feel afraid.
"You two are different from her. She was not with me voluntarily from the beginning. So she wants to find her own happiness, and I'm going to be angry, I'm going to be sad, but I'm not going to blame her. But you two... It's not—" Decraas sighed heavily.
Lily and he were passively married. The hearts of two people are not together. But Milina and Rita are different, both of them are automatically with Deklaas. Haiyue Mountain Alliance, sweet words, what is nothing??But in the end, it is without saying goodbye.
This was unforgettable, and like Pamia's deception and distrust, it plunged Deklaas into pain. So from the beginning, he didn't really want Milina and Rita to be in his life again. If it weren't for the scruples of father-daughter affection, the two of them would be here??
"Dad, we're not going to do that anymore. Why don't you forgive us???Do you want to see the two of us sad??" Rita, who knew what Deklaas was thinking in his heart, didn't care about anything, and said very directly.
"Once there is, there will be a second time. You can push me into the swamp of insanity for a few words from Pamia, send Merry and the Sage Sword to the hands of the Elves, and plunge the people of the Saint Yao Empire and the Fierce Wolf Empire into the flames of war, what else can you not do??" Hearing Rita's words, Deklaas said angrily.
Rita didn't expect her words to provoke Deklaas's anger and couldn't help but cry. When she was with Deklaas at that time, she always wanted to live with Decraas forever. Unfortunately, I received a letter, a letter written by Pamia. If she hadn't replied to the letter and hadn't been bewitched by the contents of the letter, maybe she and Milina would still be treasures in Deklaas's heart now, instead of this damn situation!!
"Oh~!!!, if you want to go, go ahead. I'll talk to Messena and Lily. Looking at Rita, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, Deklaas sighed helplessly.
