Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate
Chapter 966 Fall In Love, All Over Again
Two hours after dinner, Victor and Felicia retired to their room in order to discuss something very important.
Naturally, this issue was in regard to what happened earlier in the day. Not long had passed, and the King of the Xeno Kingdom was still dissatisfied with Aina's choice.
"What do you think we should do, Felicia?" Victor asked as he sat on the couch with a frown. "Aina can be very stubborn. I'm sure that she will not be changing her mind anytime soon."
The King of the Xeno Kingdom looked at his wife, hoping that she could give him the answers he was looking for.
"There's nothing we can do but respect Aina's decision," Felicia replied. "That means that you should abandon your thoughts of letting her marry one of the Princes of our neighboring kingdoms. If you try pushing this idea of yours, it will only backfire on you, so I advise you to give it up."
"If only that Half-Elf hadn't tainted my daughter, then this whole thing could have been salvaged." Victor clicked his tongue in annoyance.
The daughters of the Royal Family had to remain chaste in order for them to be married off to members of another Royal Family.
If Victor really ignored Aina's wishes and sent her to marry someone else, not only would he face his daughter's anger, but he would also face the anger of Aina's royal husband, which could lead to a war in the worst-case scenario.
"Hah… this is a mess." Victor sighed. "I even sent Tristan to our neighbors in order to form good relationships with them. I even gave him the secret mission to look for eligible Princes that could qualify as Aina's fiancees as well."
"Well, although things didn't work out the way you planned it to be, I have a feeling that the current situation is infinitely better," Felicia stated. "Lux may not be a member of a Royal Family, but you have to admit that he has the ability to become an Overlord. If I were you, I would invest in this future son-in-law of ours."
Felicia smiled. Unlike her husband, she only wanted her two daughters' happiness. Since Aina already decided to become Lux's fiancee, she would give them their blessing.
Although Victor also felt that things were progressing too fast and was now outside of his control, he had to agree that the Half-Elf indeed had some ability.
Lux could have single-handedly defeated the Beast Tide even without the assistance of their army. This much, Victor had to acknowledge. However, he still couldn't believe that someone who had only been in Elysium for a few years had become such a powerhouse.
Colette had met him in Leaf Village, and Victor often heard his adorable daughter brag about his achievements. She would even talk to him about the Half-Elf in hope that he would be persuaded to agree to allow the red-headed teenager to marry her sister, Aina.
However, how could he possibly agree to such a thing?
He hadn't even met Lux since he first heard of him until today.
Even so, his first impression of the Half-Elf was not the person that Colette painted him to be.
He was not a young man who had just started coming to Elysium nearly two years ago.
He was a monster.
A bonafide monster that if left unchecked would grow to become a person who could move unhindered in Solais and Elysium.
His wife was right.
Although the situation was different from what he originally wanted, it didn't change the fact that Lux's potential was enormous.
However, he also understood that these individuals were like a double-edged sword. They might be capable of annihilating anyone who stood in their way, but they could also harm those who supported them from behind.
People hated those that were better than them. They felt jealous and envious of others' talents to the point that they wanted to eliminate them.
After all, a dead genius is no longer a genius.
Victor had no intention of fighting against Lux, but that didn't mean that others wouldn't do it.
Naturally, he was still not aware that the Half-Elf and the Divine Army of Light were at odds with each other. If he knew about this fact then he would definitely oppose Aina's decision, even if it meant that his daughter would hate him for life.
They had migrated from Solais to Elysium, and the Divine Army of Light was one of the biggest organizations in the land.
If they were to offend such a behemoth, wouldn't their newly minted kingdom be exterminated before they could even have time to grow?
Fortunately, he had no idea. Ignorance was bliss.
Victor sighed a second time before looking outside of the window. Right now, he had a very hard decision to make, and it would affect his Kingdom in more ways than one.

Inside Aina's bedroom…
"Aren't you worried?" Lux asked as he hugged the beautiful Dwarf from behind. "What would you do if they didn't agree to make you my fiancee?"
"I'm not worried," Aina replied as she looked at the moon outside of her window. "Although my father is very disappointed in me, my mother will definitely talk some sense into him. Also, my body is no longer pure. They will have no choice but to yield."
Lux's gaze softened as he lightly caressed Aina's lower abdomen. Indeed, he had already marked this place as his own, claiming her as his woman.
If not for the fact that Aina had just lost her chastity a few hours ago, and needed time to recover, he might have already made love to her again.
'I'm hopeless,' Lux thought. 'I'm so in love with her that it hurts.'
Aina, who seemed to have sensed Lux's thoughts, turned around to look up at him.
She then stood on tiptoe as she presented her lips to him, which the Half-Elf accepted gratefully.
The beautiful Dwarf was barely five feet tall, and yet, she possessed a strength that was several times stronger than Lux. Even so, in his eyes, she was just a delicate young lady, whom he needed to protect at all cost.
He wasn't even aware when she died back on Earth. It even made him depressed because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach her.
Now that they had reunited, he felt that the heavens themselves had given them this opportunity to do what they weren't able to do back on Earth.
When the kiss ended, Aina wrapped her arms around Lux's body and rested her head on his chest.
"No matter what happens, the two of us will be together in this lifetime, right?" Aina asked softly.
"Yes," Lux replied. "Although we can't always be physically together, we will definitely spend our lives together. I promise."
Both understood that they had their duties to perform, and responsibilities to uphold.
Lux carried his lover to the bed and laid her down gently. He then laid beside her, but he didn't make a move to make love to her.
He only wrapped his arms around her and told her about the things that he needed to do.
The Half-Elf told Aina about his Master's current situation—how the latter had been captured by the Divine Army of Light, and their plan to execute him in less than a month's time.
When he shared his plan to save his Master, Aina's body shuddered and she gripped his clothes tightly.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm "Lux, we have just reunited," Aina said. "I won't stop you from doing what you have planned to do, but promise me one thing."
"What is it?" Lux inquired.
"Don't die, or I will have no choice but to follow you."
"Don't worry, I have no intention of dying. I promise you this."
Aina wanted to tell Lux that she would help him in any way that she could, but she understood that he would not allow her to endanger herself.
Because of this, the only thing she could do was to believe in him and that he would return to her safely after rescuing his Master from one of the biggest organizations in Elysium.
As the hours passed, the two continued to talk.
They talked about their plans and goals in life, including the number of babies that Aina wanted to have, which made Lux chuckle.
Soon, the two of them fell asleep in each other's embrace.
Lux would be leaving in the morning in order to search for another Beast Tide or places that had numerous monsters that he could hunt.
Although it was quite regrettable that they couldn't spend more time with each other, they were still extremely happy to have the chance to fall in love, all over again.
