"Kyaaaah!"
All the girls in the room started shouting as soon as they heard his words. With Vekian's answer whole room looked like chaos as everyone started asking several questions from both Elda and Velian.
Some boys had jealous looks on their faces seeing their big sister getting stolen by their hero, but in the end, none of them had the confidence to go against Velian.
"Veli, what are you talking about?" Ignoring all the private questions, Elda questioned with her reddened cheeks showing how much she enjoyed those words.
Shhhh!
Velian made a gesture telling her to be silent and winked asking her to go along with it.
"Sister, did you two kiss? I saw in the book you always read that a prince must kiss his princess to get a baby," Things were getting too little extreme. Elda couldn't take it anymore and decided to tell the truth but suddenly she felt a warm sensation on her reddened cheeks, which caused her to jump back in surprise.
"Kyaaaaaaaa~"
Seeing Velian kissing their big sister, goals started to shout while the boys quickly closed their eyes showing, it was too much for them even though it was a kiss on her cheeks.
"This settles it, now we are officially going to have a baby," Looking at the kids in front of him, Velian said while quickly holding Elda's hand.
"I have something important to talk about with your big sister, so I'm taking her out for a minute,"
It was fun hanging out with the kids and teasing Elda, but he wanted to talk about the future with her so, he quickly grabbed her and said goodbye to the kids.
"I will be back, be good kids and eat your breakfast," Before leaving the room, Elda said but her voice sounded a little too trembling because of how conflicted she was.
As soon as they left the room, Elda quickly took a good look at Velian's face to see his reaction to their kiss.
She wanted to know how it felt for him.
"Elda!"
"We are going to move to the Rapidclaw castle, my mother and everyone else including me,"
Just as he expected, as soon as he said those words, Elda opened her mouth and eyes wide with shock.
She didn't know how to react to this because how can she even give her opinion on this matter, when she was just a stranger to Velian.
"Whaaa- what did my mother say about this?" She at least wanted Sariya to object to it, but without any reason holding them back, she knew even Sariya won't be foolish enough to do something like that.
"She gave us the green light,"
Velian carefully observed Elda's facial expression and he could easily confirm that she had feelings for him, by the way, her eyes looked like they were about to cry.
"Elda, are you going to work as a maid or going to take the territory in future?"
Velian wanted to know her plans. Even if she took the territory and tried to manage it, unlike Sariya she doesn't have the required skills to do that. So future didn't look bright for this territory yet.
"..."
Only after Velian questioned, she realised that she hadn't been thinking about her own future. She started to question herself. She imagined herself in another ten years and wanted to see where she would be.
"So you haven't thought about it?"
Hearing Velian question she nodded her head showing that was the case.
"You like taking care of kids right? And you like to teach so, what if I asked you to be a principal of a newly established academy,"
Velian couldn't even finish his words, as Elda jumped on him like a tigress with her eyes showing excitement.
"Really? I haven't heard about something like that,"
She didn't mean to doubt Velian, but building a school and reputation from zero felt like an almost impossible task.
The education in all the kingdoms including the empire was given by their own academies. At first, there were discussions to build a common academy for all the students in the continent in the era of demon kings and heroes but later when humans started to fight among themselves, all these ideas vanished into the thin air.
"I'm going to re-build the Rapidclaw kingdom's academy and allow both commoners and new nobles to learn together,"
Elda couldn't be any happier hearing this request. But then she remembered,
"Veli, I can't leave these kids and my mother, I want to teach kids but my close people are more valuable to me,"
She didn't know whether it was wise or stupid to refuse a great idea like this, but she was confident that she didn't want to leave Sariya's side.
"So I'm not important to you?"
Velian asked a tricky question seeing Elda's face. He wanted to see how she would react but unlike how he expected her to react Elda acted far more honestly.
"You're just as important to me, but you have Naomi, Big sister Delviny and Lyra," Her words had confusion mixed into it.
"Mother will be alone if I left her for someone else,"
Velian got dangerously close to Elda. He didn't have any idea of holding back so he decided to be straightforward with Elda.
"Elda, do you like me romantically? I like you a lot,"
Elda couldn't believe what she was hearing as she had to pinch herself to confirm she wasn't dreaming.
"What is your answer? It's okay, if you don't like me, I will try to win your heart and if it still doesn't work, I won't bother you anymore,"
He knew Elda wouldn't refuse his confession, but at the same time, he wanted to show that he wasn't someone annoying that would chase her even If she refuse his confession.
Elda was silent with her brain processing all the sudden development and this confession until, she felt Velian's hand caressing her face with a seducing look, which was the final trigger she needed.
"Do you?"
"Yes, I would gladly," Her answer was perfect as Velian gave her another kiss but this time he went for her forehead showing how affectionate he was.
"It is settled then, we are officially dating now,"
