Chapter 1084 Your Child Is My Great Grandchild As Well
"We will be in your care in the future, Lux," Cai's and Rose's mother, Dahlia, said as she gave her future son-in-law a hug. "Take care of Caitlin. She's my precious daughter."
"I will," Lux replied. "I promise."
Dahlia nodded before walking over to Keane to give him a hug as well.
"Take care of my daughter. She might be a handful at times," Dahlia whispered in Keane's ear. "But she is a very good girl."
"I will treasure her with my life," Keane replied as he looked at his future mother-in-law with a determined look on his face.
Dahlia was very impressed with the young swordsman's reply, making her smile.
'My daughters managed to find themselves good partners,' Dahlia thought. 'Although it's still a bit early for Rose, I hope that Caitlin will let me hold my grandchild soon.'
While Dahlia was thinking these things, Rose pulled Keane away from her mother with a pout.
"I'm not a handful!" Rose, who had expected that her mother would say something like that, had used an ability that increased her hearing perception.
This allowed her to hear what her mother was saying to his lover, which made her pout.
Dahlia didn't reply and only giggled after seeing how adorable Rose was at the moment.
It was very rare for her serious daughter to act in this manner, so she was enjoying every moment of it.
"I'll see you soon, father-in-law," Lux said to Liam, who was completely ignoring him.
The middle-aged man didn't even bother to look in his direction and went up the stairs, leaving them behind.
Lux scratched his head after seeing his father-in-law's reaction, but he didn't take the middle-aged man's dislike for him too seriously.
After all, the one he was marrying was Cai, not Liam.
He didn't mind even if his father-in-law didn't like him!
"Lux, be careful," Quiana said as she held the Half-Elf's hand. "What you are about to do is very dangerous. Collecting all the Pillars will be very dangerous, so if you think that you are unable to do it, do not force yourself. We can migrate to Elysium. You must prioritize your safety, okay?"
The Half-Elf nodded in reply. "See you all soon."
Maximilian decided to stay in the Ancestral Lands for a few more days because he had missed his wife terribly.
Also, he still needed to discuss his plan to migrate to the Fynn Kingdom with his people who were still recovering from the Purple Plague.
"Rose, please send them off at the entrance of the mountain," Dahlia said.
"Yes, Mother," Rose replied before holding Keane's hand.
The young swordsman smiled as he lightly squeezed his lover's hand. Lux and Cai, who noticed the small gesture between the two, exchanged knowing glances with each other.
The Half-Elf then reached out to hold Cai's and Aurora's hands, making the two girls smile.
"Mmm, it's good to be young," Dahlia nodded her head in satisfaction. "Cai, I want to hold my great grandchild soon, so make sure to feed Lux one of our Tribe's powerful aphrodisiac potions and go at it like bunnies, okay? Aurora, feel free to join them as well. Your child is my great grandchild as well."
Aurora blushed after hearing the old lady's playful words. But, she still nodded her head and gave Lux a timid glance.
The Half-Elf couldn't help but chuckle internally due to how cute Aurora looked like when she was embarrassed.
A few minutes later, Lux's group left the Ancestral Lands of the Rowan Tribe and entered the underground Maze under Cai's guidance.
Although Dahlia had asked Rose to lead them out of the mountain, the young lady and Keane were at the rear of the group, enjoying the precious time they had in each other's company.
Cai was the one who led everyone back down the mountain, letting Rose spend as much time as she could with her fiance.
Lux even told Cai through their guild chat to slow their journey a bit because they weren't really in a hurry.
Since Rose would be staying in the Ancestral Lands, it would be a while before she would be able to see Keane again.
The young swordsman was doing his best to become strong as soon as possible. In fact, after they returned to Barbatos Academy, Keane would then head to Leaf Town.
Gerhart and Cethus had already made their way into the Savage Lands and were helping the Draconian-Kobold, Cadmus, explore this new frontier.
Keane would be accompanying them on this mission to train himself and grow stronger.
Although Lux wasn't telling them anything, they could instinctively feel that there was a shift that was happening in Elysium.
After Lux had waged war against the Divine Army of Light, Keane, Gerhart, and Cethus said that they needed to become as strong as possible. They didn't want to get left behind by the Half-Elf, who was always surprising them.
There was also the issue of the Abyssal Gates becoming more active, which only intensified their resolve to become stronger.
Everyone of them could feel it.
The world of Elysium was about to usher in a new era, and in this era, a great battle would soon take place.
This was why, before it happened, the three of them wanted to at least become B-Rankers, giving them enough strength to at least survive the first wave of whatever was about to come their way.
A few hours later, they finally arrived at the base of the mountain.
"Visit me soon, okay?" Rose said as she was wrapped in Keane's protective embrace. "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you, too," Keane replied before planting a kiss on Rose's forehead, the sight of which made Lux nearly vomit sugar.
He wasn't aware that other people also felt the same thing whenever he was acting intimate with his lovers.
In fact, Cethus was very fed up with him, so the moment the Half-Elf and his lovers were about to stick to each other like glue, he would make himself scarce to save himself from the diabetic-inducing kissing that would follow next.
Ten minutes later, Keane and Rose reluctantly parted with each other.
If not for the fact that Keane wanted to catch up to Lux as soon as possible, he might have stayed with Rose for a few more days.
However, he understood that the only way he could protect his lover was by becoming stronger, so with a heavy heart, he turned around without a second glance.
He had a feeling that if he were to look back and see Rose's tearful face, his resolve might waver, and he'd end up staying with her until her Grandpa, Maximilian decided to return to Barbatos Academy.
"Don't worry. You will see her soon," Lux assured his good friend, who had been with him through thick and thin.
Keane nodded and continued to walk alongside them.
Now that he had met Cai's parents, it was time to bring Adeline to his Guild Headquarters in the territory of the Crystal Palace.
That way, his other lovers would be able to meet their future mother-in-law.
Valerie, Aurelia, Aina, Ali, and Ari were constantly asking him about when he would be bringing his mother to their Guild Headquarters.
If not for the fact that there were still things that he needed to settle in Wildgarde Stronghold, he might have teleported directly to their Guild Headquarters already, along with everyone else in his group.
