Chương 357: Chapter 340. Charlotte's Impressions

Charlotte Nyx's Point Of View" I mean, I understand that, but don't you think that your progress is still lacking? It only took me an hour to drag those answers out of him."" Well, you need to think about his Position, how could you expect his wives to ask him "what would it take for you to Marry another woman?", could you imagine saying that to your partner, Mel? Or if I said that to your Father? It would sound like you think of him as a nuisance, or that he's not good enough."" Hmm..."

Currently Mom and Mel were going back and forth, ever since John and Sarah left for King Warrick and Queen Aqua, we've all been speaking quite freely all things considered. The people who were currently in the room were my Family, along with Lady Kate and Anna. We were able to enjoy lunch and now we've reconvened in John's office. The current conversation has been about John's answers to Mel's questions. It was illuminating to say the least.

Even though I was shocked and embarrassed to start with, I was quite thankful to Mel for the information she was able to gain. I wasn't too sure how to continue. I mean, he's been so busy since I arrived, I've barely been able to speak to Matthew since we came back. But with what he's said now... It all might just work out, I mean, he has a favorable impression of me already so... /WOOSH! Thump! /" WOAH!"" So... Much... Mana..."" There, there. Just rest now."

My Father audibly gasped in shock as a gateway from Matthew opened up. Then I was shocked as John fell forward while mumbling something, before anyone could stand up, Sarah came from behind him and caught him in what looks like a hug from behind." Now why exactly did you have to insist on all of us going through, Mother?"" It's not a good test if it's easy. I'll say that he passes though... just barely."" Barely? Can you point me to someone who can transport 5 people plus luggage? And they all arrive whole?""

I could if I was a Summoner."" You're the exception and you know it. Haahh... Hm?" Just as we were absorbing what it was that we were seeing, all of a sudden, who I could only assume was King Warrick and his wife, Queen Aqua, walked through the open Portal. They were breathtaking to look at. King Warrick's long, flowing white hair wouldn't lose to Sarah's own.

His piercing red eyes were filled with warmth and worry as he looked at John as Sarah shifted his body in her arms, once he saw the other people in the room, his eyes began to exude a strong aura of a ruler, the change in his face was also noticeable. What looked like a concerned, handsome, but concerned father, changed into the type of beauty that could only be captured in a painting by a Master Artist. His tall stature that would say... sits somewhere along 7 or 8 foot tall.

His garb, a uniform with the combination of red and black colors seemed to make him look almost taller than he was. It added to his imposing figure." Is Darling okay, Sarah?"" It's just Mana Exhaustion. While I'd like to just fix it now, he made me promise to do it privately. Can you help me Anna?" Sarah and Anna proceeded to take John out of the room. Once the door was closed, Who I assumed was Queen Aqua began to speak."

I apologize for the scene we've shown you, but as something like a teacher to Marquess Matthew, I wanted to see how far My Student had come. Safe to say, I find his growth merely only satisfactory. Allow me to introduce ourselves!" As she spoke, I took in her appearance because I found it so jarring. Not because of her looks, she's every bit the beautiful woman as the man next to her is handsome.

With her long dark-blue hair and matching eyes, the long formal dress of the same color adding to her allure along with her natural good looks, you'd think that'd be the most striking thing to me, that her beauty was second to none. However, I wasn't as struck by that, as I was by my noticing that I was more or less looking at a slightly older-looking Sarah.

Sure, this woman's expression and movements were more relaxed, bubbly, energetic and jovial than Sarah's, but from the structure of her face, I can see Sarah in it. There's no way this wasn't her mother. The author's content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon." It's a pleasure to meet you, King Leonard Nyx, Queen Crystal Nyx of Darkheim. My name is Aqua Dreadnaught, the 96th Queen of Diablos." She curtseyed as she introduced herself.

She then shifted her right hand from her skirt to present the man next to her after standing straight." And this is My Husband, Warrick Dreadnaught, the 96th King of Diablos." The man... King Warrick, bowed his head slightly as he was introduced. Queen Aqua then shifted her right hand again, this time in front of her husband. I wondered why, until I saw her, a young woman who still looked like she was in school was next to the Royal Couple.

Her light-pink eyes seemed to glow as her tied dark-grey hair in the form of a ponytail filled my vision. I tried to focus more on all of her as she lifted her gaze to everyone in the room. While Sarah seemed to take after their mother, this girl seems to have more in common with King Warrick. Sharp piercing eyes that punctuated a calm and cool looking face.

Her inheritance of her father's looks made her seem as if she was a stern woman who was like a beautiful flower on top of an unclimbable mountain in the distance. Her dress was simple and elegant, dark-grey, the same color as her hair. It fully covered her body, but still showed her natural curves. If I had to guess who she was and why she wore it, the answer was simple. She decided to wear that dress to attract and impress John since she's also a Member of the Alliance. Quite cunning if I do say so myself."

This is My youngest Daughter, Cynthia Dreadnaught, the 2nd Princess of Diablos." Queen Aqua confirmed my answer. This was Sarah's younger sister that I've heard of. I felt a sense of familiarity with her since we were both in the same situation, a Princess who fell for John. Princess Cynthia mimicked her mother and curtseyed to us for her introduction." It's a pleasure to meet you all, Marquess Matthew and Lady Sarah have told us a few things about you both, King Warrick, Queen Aqua.

Allow me to do the same as yourself, Queen Aqua. Since it's obvious who My Husband and I are. Allow me to introduce you to Our Children. Most importantly, that is Charlotte, Our youngest Daughter and the 2nd Princess of Darkheim. Currently the Chief of Staff of Paradise." My Mother pointed at me first. All 3 of the Dreadnaughts looked at me immediately. I'm assuming that Sarah has informed them of my intentions. It looks like they're not hostile towards me. I should be thankful for that."

That there is Melissa, the 1st Princess and Our eldest Child. Next to her, the one standing, is Donatello, our eldest Son. Sitting directly in front of you is Delcan, Our youngest Son. Next to him is his recently announced Fiancée, Kate Fall, soon to be Nyx, I suppose?" Mother quickly introduced everyone else to the Dreadnaughts. It seems that the point of interest to them remained to be me, however." It's nice to meet you all. I apologize for not arriving in Paradise the normal way.

As My Wife has said, she wished to test him for some reason."" Yes, Marquess Matthew informed us of the motive behind why this all happened. We're not particularly upset about it. Seeing as we too, wish for him to grow as well. And I must agree with Queen Aqua. His ability in terms of his Magic is merely satisfactory. Especially when we compare it to the stories we've heard of Paladins in the past. Though I suppose if we compare him to Humans of his age group... He's above average..."

Both my Father and Queen Aqua seemed to agree on their assessment about Matthew's growth... I took a bit of umbrage with their opinion however... He's been so busy... And from what I've heard, his workload has "decreased" since Del and I arrived here. I feel like they're neglecting the fact that he's done all of that and so much more and still found time to improve both his Physical and Magical Abilities. I decided to say something."

I-"" I think you're both forgetting the fact that he's been Governing and more by himself for most of it." Before I could even say anything, Princess Cynthia had defended him before me." Even so, we've Governed as well and still found time to improve." My Father countered Princess Cynthia's words." That may be the case, but don't you have people to delegate your tasks to, King Leonard?"" Yes... But every rule-"" He doesn't... At least not really."" What do you mean?"

My Father was curious from what Princess Cynthia said." From what I understand, he only possesses one Secretary to help him with his paperwork, besides that, he leads the Reconstruction of both the City's Roads and its Walls as well as it's Produce, only recently has he cut back on hunting for game, since he's finally gained enough Hunters that they can produce results similar to what he and his Wives were capable of doing in a day.

I mean not to offend, but do you think you'd honestly have time to improve yourself Martially or Magically if you had to painstakingly look after your own Produce and Reconstruction Projects back home in Darkheim, King Leonard?" My Father simply rubbed his chin to Princess Cynthia's question." No, Princess Cynthia, I don't believe I would. Though at the same time, I wasn't the kind of man to make multiple Princesses fall for me, so is it so wrong to expect a man like that to achieve great heights?"

"!" My Father's words made Princess Cynthia begin to blush. And with that, her father began to speak to my Father." I apologize for My Daughter's words, she really didn't mean to disrespect anyone, though, I sit with her opinion on the topic."" My Husband has always been too forgiving I'm afraid." With Queen Aqua's comment, the atmosphere in the room was able to lighten as the 3 Demons in the room finally took their seats in front of my Parents and I
