Alesia nodded at my words.
"We might need to wait until tomorrow. Sorry, student Arthur. I wasted your time. We will visit the village tomorrow to wake him up. He hasn't been sleeping for over a few hundred years now. So let's give him one day before waking him up for good. I doubt he will tell us anything if we do it today."
Not sleeping for a few hundred years.
I couldn't imagine how he could do that and still maintain that level of concentration. Maybe I was wrong. He might have Max Lv <Concentration> skill.
"I don't mind."
Anyway, I had a clue, and it only needed me to wait for a day. I was patient and could do that.
"Are we going to go back to Academy City now?"
"No." Alesia shook her head and smiled slightly. "Let's have a rest in my little sister's home."
"Little sister?" I asked, looking at her curiously.
Somehow, she smiled slyly like a fox.
I quickly made a connection with what she said.
The headmistress came from the Elf Village, and so was Milea. The latter ran away from home and called the former aunt.
That meant Alesia's younger sister was Milea's mother.
"We are going to greet her, and I will definitely tell my little sister that her daughter who ran out of home accepted to get dominated by a Paladin. I wonder what her reaction is. I haven't met her for over a hundred years, so I don't know how she would react." The headmistress smirked.
"Are you really going to do that, headmistress? And how did you know about it?" I asked.
Was this the reason behind her gaze when I met her near the church this morning? Surely not.
"My cute niece came to my office while teacher Emilia and I talked about important things. I wondered why she panicked like that, and it turned out to be something truly trivial." She said, still having an amused smile on her face.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Ah, so that was why Milea ran toward the Royal Academy's direction after she left my room with a flustered face. That was cute. I had never imagined a cheeky girl like her to ask the other's opinion regarding this kind of thing.
But still…
'Meeting Milea's parents… This would be my first… No, second time meeting my girl's parents.'
The first was Vivian. But for her, I had already prepared to dominate and get her love.
But still, there was nothing wrong with meeting them. And I could ask them to leave their daughter in my care. Who knew if they wouldn't mind when the one requesting them was a Paladin?
"Well, that's certainly new. I don't mind meeting them, headmistress. I am also a little tired of everything that happened."
"Follow me then." She nodded and walked to the exit. "I just need to remind you to put your barrier up. Also, let me fix this."
As she said that, she snapped her finger, and the darkness covering the forest was dispelled with a bright light, similar to when the elder kept the skill up.
"We don't want to make a commotion until the elder explains it to the others tomorrow." She explained.
"Makes sense." I nodded and followed her.
But… I was a bit worried about her warning to put my barrier up.
We silently walked through the forest, through the polished stone path.
The houses in the Elf Village within the Elven forest were distanced from each other as every household had a small farm in their yard.
They also looked similar, as they were carved inside the same kind of tree. The only differences were where the branches were.
Only this time that I could truly appreciate their beauty. I was too surprised and caught up earlier.
Streams of crystal-clear water passed through the village, watering the farm, and went toward the world tree. Flowers of every color lined up the pathways. Some could be found in the garden of my mansion.
As that mansion was originally Alesia's, it was no wonder the garden was filled with strange plants. I thought they were rare as I never found them in the market, but it turned out they came from this village.
After walking past some tree houses, we arrived deep in the village. The leaves of the trees were so dense that only a little bit of light from Alesia's <Sunflash> passed through, making the area darker than the rest. Some magic lamps were put up.
In front of one of the houses, a couple stood. They were a couple of a beautiful woman and a handsome man. The woman was a little bit shorter than Alesia.
Her long hair was braided, and her green eyes were narrowed dangerously. She only wore a green dress that showed a cleavage created from her well-endowed breasts.
Based on her face, which was a perfect copy of Milea if she looked a bit younger and shorter, I assumed she was her mother. Still… Her breasts were even bigger than her daughter's or even Alesia's. Could I expect Milea to have the same growth? But that would take a hundred years…
Anyway, let's forget about that.
Standing beside her was a man… or a boy? He was a head taller than the woman, just as tall as Milea and Tris.
He had an apologetic smile on his face while scratching the back of his head. I had to admit that he also looked handsome, probably just a level below me. He was probably his husband because he stood beside the woman I assumed as Milea's mother.
As we approached them, the woman crossed her arms in displeasure and tapped her feet in rhythm. Her face morphed into a frown and became deeper as we stopped before them.
"What are you doing here, Alesia? I am surprised you still remembered to visit me after you didn't show up for a hundred years."
"Mafula…" Alesia said, nodding her head slightly. "Forgive me. I was quite busy."
"I don't care about your excuse." Mafula spat out with a voice mixed with anger. "I asked what are you doing here."
"You're right." The headmistress replied as she stepped to the side, pointing at me.
At that moment, I had a bad feeling. This woman… She set me up!
"I want to introduce you to the current Paladin. His name is Arthur Vainglory, and he's Milea's master."
As soon as Alesia finished speaking, I felt two dangerous glares coming from both Elves in front of us. The husband's apologetic smile disappeared and was replaced with a cold expression.
"You're what?" Mafula, Milea's mother, asked me in a cold tone.
'Fucker!' I cursed in my mind as I glanced at Alesia, who covered her mouth and giggled in a low voice. 'I thought you would introduce me in a friendly manner!'
