Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate



Colette had a smug expression on her face as she sat on Lux's lap while the latter was busy absorbing the Beast Cores around him.

Aina looked at this scene with the usual expressionless look on her face, but deep within her eyes, there was a tinge of amusement that was barely visible to anyone.

Victor, on the other hand, looked at the Half-Elf with a solemn expression on his face.

When he first heard about Lux, he only knew him as someone who had helped and saved his daughter, Colette, when she was still in Leaf Village.

Back then, he had gifted him several Beast Cores as thanks for his help. Although Colette had been nagging him about this "Big Brother" of hers, he didn't expect that there would come a time when he would meet him face to face.

As a Saint, he had no intention of letting Aina or Colette marry anyone that he didn't approve of. 

Naturally, he had certain standards in mind for their suitors, but one of these conditions was for them to be Dwarves.

Because of this, he never really took Colette's words seriously. 

Although there were Dwarves who had spouses from other races, he had no intention of letting his daughters follow the same path as the others.

'Colette and Matty are already on good terms, and I also approve of that boy's background,' Victor thought. 'As for Aina, she deserves to be married to a member of a Royal Family. That is the only way that we can secure our footing here in Elysium.'

Victor had already burned his bridges with the members of the Dwarven Royal Family back in Solais.

He had decided to build his own kingdom from scratch, and it took him several years to do it. Now that he was reaping the harvest of his hard work, a Beast Tide suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Truth be told, he already had his suspicion that this was a man-made event.

It was highly possible that this Beast Tide was redirected to their territory by their neighbors, who didn't want the Xeno Kingdom to grow and allow Victor to consolidate his power and influence.

He had no intention of using Aina as a political tool, although his mindset of only allowing his daughter to choose suitable suitors from Royal Families contradicted this intention.

At the end of the day, the foundations of the Xeno Kingdom were shaky. If it weren't for Lux's timely help, they might have already lost their new home.

"Thank you for your help, Lux," Victor said. "Right now, I don't have any lands to cede to you, but I appreciate your efforts, so I am willing to give you an Honorary Title. How does an Honorary Viscount sound?"

"Sounds like a joke to me," Lux replied before taking another Beast Core to absorb. "You don't have to reward me with a title or any other stuff. I only helped you out because of Colette and Aina."

Victor narrowed his gaze at the Half-Elf who was talking to him in a very casual manner. Although his kingdom was small, he was still a King and should be treated as one.

Aina's mother, Felicia, knew that her husband hadn't been in the best mood as of late, so she decided to step in and ease the tension in the air.

"Lux, Colette has said many good things about you," Felicia said with a smile. "She is always bragging about your achievements and pushing you to become Aina's fiance. Do you know that our family has a rule that our children can only marry if everyone approves of their suitor?"

Lux glanced at the beautiful Dwarf who gave birth to Aina and Colette. He could tell that Queen Felicia was a very kind and caring woman, so he wouldn't say anything disrespectful to her.

"That is an interesting condition for marriage, Your Majesty," Lux replied. "But it also has its drawbacks as well. If one member of the family refuses to agree to the marriage, wouldn't that mean that Colette and Aina can't marry anyone?"

Queen Felicia nodded with a smile. "You're right. When this happens, negotiations are bound to take place."

Lux smiled back. Truth be told, he wasn't really interested in these things.

He didn't really care who Colette and Aina married. As long as they would be happy, that was fine with him.

The only thing on his mind was to absorb all the Beast Cores that he had gained in the Beast Tide and raise his rank.

'I'll leave tomorrow,' Lux thought. 'I'm sure that I'll finish absorbing all the Beast Cores by tonight.'

Queen Felicia, who didn't know what Lux was thinking, asked the Half-Elf a question.

"Lux, are you still single?" Queen Felicia asked.

Before answering, the Half-Elf took out another Beast Core from his storage ring and began to absorb it.

"I have two fiances," Lux replied. "We plan to marry and have children in three years."

Colette, who was seated on Lux's lap, couldn't help but open her mouth in shock. She didn't expect Lux to already have two fiances, so his answer caught her by surprise.

Victor smiled when he saw his younger daughter's reaction. It seems that Colette didn't know that Lux was already engaged to two women. Now that she knew, he had a feeling that Colette would no longer insist that Aina become his fiance as well.

However, his adorable daughter's next words almost made him choke on his saliva.

"Big Brother, since you already have two fiances, why don't you make my sister your fiance as well?" Colette asked. "Adding one or two more won't make a difference."

Lux chuckled before lightly patting Colette's head. 

"I guess you're right," Lux said in a teasing tone. "If Aina wants to become my fiance, then I won't mind it one bit. In fact, I like her very much."

The Half-Elf's words were very casual because, for one, he thought that Colette was only joking. Also, he had a feeling that their father, Victor, wouldn't agree.

At the end of the day, he didn't know much about Aina. The only reason why he felt attracted to her was because she looked like his favorite idol back on earth, albeit younger.

If she didn't have the same face as his Idol, Luna, he wouldn't have even considered vocally telling her that he liked her.

Just as everyone was about to treat what he said as a joke, Aina said something that made everyone look in her direction.

"I agree to become your fiance," Aina replied. "I look forward to our future together."

""What?!""

Lux and Victor shouted at the same time because they didn't expect the expressionless Aina to say such a thing.

"Um, I'm sorry about this, but I was only joking when I said that I wouldn't mind if you became my fiance," Lux said as beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

He had read several novels in the past, and he knew that this was one of those "forced love plots" that authors like to use in harem novels.

If possible, he wanted to have a normal love life, and not be forced into situations where he suddenly gained a lover out of the blue.

(A/N: I knew I should have made you a virgin for life. You're lucky I didn't give you a 2-inch PP you ungrateful swine.)

(E/N: Complaining about being given a harem, when he hasn't seen a true harem)

"Then, were you joking when you said that you liked me very much?" Aina inquired in the same expressionless tone that she always used when talking to people. 

"Well, that part isn't a joke," Lux replied. "You look like someone that I adore with all of my heart, which is why I said that I like you very much."

"I look like someone you adore very much?" Aina asked. "Is there someone who looks like me?"

"… Yes," Lux answered. 

Aina stared at Lux as if she was looking at his very soul. 

"Then, can you tell me the name of this person?" Aina asked after a few minutes had passed. "I'd like to know the name of this lady who looks exactly like me."

Lux thought that there wouldn't be a problem even if he answered this question. After all, his idol was back on Earth, which was several light years away from the world of Elysium and Solais.

"Her stage name is Luna," Lux answered. "She is a superstar."

For the first time, Aina's expressionless face showed a hint of surprise. She then walked towards Lux and picked her sister up from his lap.

She then placed Colette on the couch before grabbing the Half-Elf's hand.

A second later, she transformed into her Angel of Vengeance form and flew towards the window, dragging the Half-Elf with her, who had no idea about what was going on.
