True King's Ecstasy

"I'm in,"

Both Lyra and Naomi raised their hands even before Daphnia could finish talking showing how eager they were.

"Oh! Good, what about others?" Velian knew those two won't even hesitate, even if he didn't explain things.

The main target of this meeting was Sariya, Elda and Juno, he wanted to convince them to participate in this.

"Let me get this straight," Sariya suddenly started talking holding her head with a troubled look.

"You want us to increase our rank up to SS and then become parents to a dragon, I'm not going to lie," With a disappointed look, Sariya started talking.

"I don't think I will be able to become like that, besides I'm not a mage or a warrior, my current rank is even below B, so-" She wanted to do this amazing thing task, but she knew for Elda and her it was something impossible.

"Your current rank is A and Elda is B, and believe me when I say, I will train you so much that, you will be able to use magic and fight even more than a royal guard," Getting close to them, he parts both of their heads, which embarrassed Sariya because she felt like a child.

"I won't force you but believe me and let me train you," Like they were hypnotised by his words, both fo them nodded their heads but when they saw other faces this training Velian was talking about is not something ordinary.

'Poor mother and daughter'

Daphnia prayed for them and hoped no one else would be victims of that gruesome training.

"What about you, Juno? You still didn't answer my confession, do you not like me?"

Leaving the clustered mother and daughter duo, he went to meet the beautiful tiger girl, who anticipated that question.

It was rather oblivious that she was excited because of her tail, which was wagging without even giving it time to have a break.

"I thought about it," Getting up from her seat, she went and hugged Velian surprising everyone in the room because this was the first time she acted this proactively.

"I do like you, and I want to be your woman, and I want to share my burden with you,"

All the worries she had about her previous kingdom and her people vanished, as soon as dived into Velian's arm. She knew this was the place, which gave her the freedom and warmth she was searching for.

"It's settled then, all three of you will start training the day after tomorrow," Velian said his plan.

"Tomorrow, I'm going back to pick up Emperor and put him in the capital's prison, and we will go back tomorrow to our new house,"

Sariya looked a little down upon hearing it, but when she saw Elda's happy face and Velian's face, she knew it was the right choice to make.

The meeting of the girls ended on a happy note and everyone tried to leave but Velian suddenly asked Sariya to come with him since he wanted to talk with Mel about this territory.

She was surprised to hear about Velian and Sariya's relationship rather than Elda's because Elda had already talked about her crush on Mel.

"My lady, what were you thinking dating your daughter's boyfriend? That's so-" Even she felt the immorality of this situation.

"I-"

Sariya had no words to answer, but Velian quickly intervened to help her.

"What's the matter, Mel? As long as we love each other, things like that don't matter, besides who else can protect both of them at the same time except you and the oblivious answer is me,"

Hearing his words, she felt happy and sad at the same time.

"Mel, you have been protecting them your whole life so, you should start thinking about yourself," Velian said whole touching her shoulder like a real friend and he really meant it.

He didn't want to see this amazingly beautiful woman experience loneliness and regret in her life as he once did.

"Yes, Mel, you should start thinking about yourself now, If you keep being like this, you will end up all alone, of course, you have men and Elda but isn't it great to have a family and settle down," Sariya also wanted her friend to search for happiness instead of always protecting them.

"I will think about it, anyway what's this about giving me this land?" With her eyebrows lifted in a confused manner, Mel questioned.

"We are moving to the capital so, we decided to give this land to you, and make you a noble since you're one of the people I believe to be competent and loyal,"

"Me? A noble? Those two words don't match together," In a conflicted manner, she talked but looking at Sariya's face, she couldn't even reject it.

"Please Mel, you're the only one I can depend on, I don't want to rely on strangers, it's ok if you don't want to be noble, but can you look after this territory?" Sariya questioned.

"Ugh~ fine, but I really won't be a noble and don't blame me, if I messed up some paper works because I'm not good with those," Giving up her arguments, she accepted Sariya's request.

On the next day, they proceeded to pack their things and go back to the capital. At first, they used a carriage but seeing how slow it was and to protect time, Velian personally dropped everyone since he is the only one, who had the skill to levitate.

Julius, who heard the news about Velian's arrival quickly went to meet him, only to be surprised by all the women beside him.

They officially announced that they are going to occupy the royal castle, and Julie and Julius got a new mansion close to the castle in the capital.

"Veli, I'm proud of you," Daphnia couldn't believe her son did this many things in a short amount of time.

"Well, if you're proud of me, that's all that matters to me, mother, let's go and see other girls,"
