Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Invitations

Ms. .buu.. The sweet voice of Riku made anyone unable to resist smiling. Her soft body and innocent eyes made her like a little angel.

In addition, his attitude that always smiles innocently makes people around him to always hug and touch him. Even the True Dragon King could not hold himself back.

"Hehe...  Riku, are you happy that you finally met Dad?"

Riku laughed happily. And it was a deadly attack on Solaris' soul.

"Law... I'd love to take you with me... Hm.. How about I bring without a second - I'm just kidding.heheheheh..."

The killing pressure returned as normal after Solaris undoes her intention to kidnap Riku.

Meanwhile, Laila and Kuro only smiled wryly as they saw one of the strongest gods continue to cling to their baby.

"He's probably gonna be a more popular guy than I am."

"Don't say anything that worries me. If there's anyone like you guys again, I'll get dizzy. But if you look at it now, it might happen."

Laila then rested her head on Kuro's shoulder. Kuro replied with a hug.

"We'll think about that later. Most importantly, right now I am happy and happy. But at the same time I was sad."

"Why?"

"I can't see you while I'm pregnant with Riku and can't be with you when it's hard. As your lover I feel useless."

Hearing that, Laila put her hand on Kuro's cheek and gave a kiss.

"I knew. At that time I felt I needed you too. Even I want you to always be by my side. ..but I realize this might be the best. If I'm pregnant under normal conditions, I don't know if I can take care of Riku or not. That's why I was so grateful when you sent me to Solaris' place. Thanks to that I was able to give birth to Riku safely and gain enough strength to help Lic."

On that day, after Laila entered the training room, she arrived at a floating island in another dimension. He knew he was in another dimension because the sky was bright white, but not so bright that his eyes could see well.

Looking around, Laila found a small hut near a lake where the water flowed down the island and was nowhere to be seen.

At first he hesitated to get close, but he remembered that he was currently in a place that suited his training, so he finally stepped forward.

After arriving in front of the hut, Laila intended to knock, but before it happened the door was already open.

Upon entering he was shocked by the vast contents. If you look at the small size of the hut, all that is impossible. Only magic can do all this.

Then, as led by someone, he steps his foot toward a place. He was startled as he arrived the surroundings turned into a tall shelf filled with books. He was like he was in a giant labyrinth. But he kept his feet moving without fear of getting lost.

Finally he found someone. A woman who looks like a saint is reading a book seriously.

This is Laila's meeting with Solaris.

Solaris welcomed Laila with pleasure. He was happy because he rarely received guests, or rather not carelessly people could meet him.

Not feeling bad intentions, just good and warm intentions, Laila finally began to explain who and what purpose she had to go to that place.

Solaris already knew everything, so Laila only needed to explain a few things.

That was when Laila was shocked, very surprised. He did not expect that the woman in front of him was one of the Orladist land-creating gods. More precisely just the body created by Solaris.

It took time for Laila to accept the reality, but she quickly accepted what happened. There's no reason to lie to Laila anyway. In addition, he felt he had to be grateful for meeting someone who was impossible to meet.

Without much time Laila finally inquired about her training. But Solaris asked back.

[Is it okay to practice while pregnant?]

Upon hearing that, Laila was struck by lightning. Whatever Solaris said was unimaginable.

No. gabe. If considering how much to do 'that' with Kuro, then no wonder if she was pregnant. The age of Laila's womb can be said to be young, which is why Laila did not realize it.

But why at a time like this?

At that time Laila felt something complicated. He's happy and happy. Even at this moment he wanted to immediately tell Kuro the happy news. But at the same time he remembered Lic, their daughter.

While being confused what path he should choose, Solaris gives a solution, more precisely a suggestion.

First, Laila goes back to the real world and tells her state of affairs and of course about her pregnancy. But there is no guarantee that Laila will be able to return to meet Solaris and train. In other words, Laila can't get stronger and can't save Lic.

Second, Laila remained in that place until she gave birth. The concept of time was not in that place, so there was no need to worry about how long Laila left Kuro. While waiting Laila will practice in theory, while the real exercise after the baby Laila was born.

Considering the bad side and the good side, then Laila's choice was already decided.

Laila had no idea how long it would be in that place, yet she felt comfortable and at ease. He also did not have to worry about food, shelter and other necessities. All of this is available at that place.

Time passed and finally his stomach grew bigger. Since it was her first time conceiving, there were many things she did not know. Thankfully Solaris was able to calm Laila down by telling her everything she needed to do.

He misses Kuro. If it is remembered how long humans have been pregnant, then he has already left Kuro for 7 more months. He already knew that the dimension had a different time, but he did not expect it to be that long.

But with a strong determination and for the sake of the future, Laila held herself back. Not to forget he also learned in theory about magic from Solaris. Although the magic she learned was only a small part of Solaris' knowledge, Laila felt grateful.

Finally the time of birth has come. Solaris is the midwife who takes care of Laila. And that's how Laila gave birth smoothly.

After Riku's birth, Laila needed time to recover. Meanwhile she is also training to be a good mother to Riku.

Then the time that was ridden upun arrived. Laila's condition had recovered and she finally started the real training.

The practice was arguably a hellish exercise, but after the practice she was always treated by Riku's smile. All fatigue disappears like an illusion.

He kept doing this until it was time to get out.

Before leaving, Solaris tells Laila that even though she is strong, she is not enough to defeat the enemy. It was for this reason that Solaris gave her sacred protection (Hokami) and a seal for Lic.

This is what Laila told Kuro during his time at Parallel Field. And this is what makes Kuro feel guilty.

"But it's undeniable that I'm not by your side. I should have come with you by then."

"Kuro, enough. I don't want to listen to your regrets. All I want to hear and see is your happiness. Everything that happens cannot be repeated. Besides, if you want to be by my side when that happens, then you just have to wait for the next opportunity."

Kuro was stunned, yet he then smiled.

"...I don't think I'll be able to argue with you."

"Hehehe...Where could you possibly."

"Yes... .iya. By the way, how long are you gonna let Solaris touch Riku?"

The nature of Kuro's father began to rise. He was jealous of Riku's familiarity with Solaris.

"It's okay. Solaris had been taking care of Riku. I'm sure Riku thinks of Solaris as his second mother."

"Oh so. He did not hesitate to drink milk from Solaris... Huh?"

As Kuro said, Riku really enjoyed drinking milk from Solaris. Riku even looked sleepy and started to fall asleep.

"Why are you surprised like that?  Do you want milk rations too? I didn't expect you to have any intentions for such a game."

"You make it sound like I'm the most perverted person in the world. That's a good idea, but this time it's not what I meant."

Kuro got up and approached Solaris. Laila followed him too.

[Don't envy your son just because I never gave you milk.]

"I don't want to hear that from you. All I want to know is how long have you been giving Riku milk?"

[Listen, since I am a god who represents love, peace, and all things about life, then perhaps I can't help but give her milk at birth.]

Hearing that Kuro froze.

"Kuro, is something wrong?"

"L-Laila, just think for a second. Solaris is one of the supreme gods. Riku is human. What happens if a human receives milk from a god's body directly from an infant?"

Laila fell silent. This was the first time he thought about the difference between Solaris and Riku. Solaris is currently using a human body, but that doesn't change the fact that she is the True Dragon King.

If well thought out, Solaris' actions are arguably unnatural even though he is a god who represents life.

After thinking about it, only one possibility occurred.

"Hm... Doesn't that mean Riku has the sacred protection of Solaris? Is there something wrong with that?"

Appropriately. That is all that happens if the gods involve themselves directly in the life of the human world. This is arguably a sacred blessing that is impossible to obtain a second time.

But Kuro was not at all happy with that.

"Laila, let me be clear. When Ruby or another Dragon King provides sacred protection to humans, they will gain power that surpasses human reason. We are talking about low-level gods here, then what can happen if the supreme god gives a blessing directly?"

"..."

Again, Laila fell silent.

"Solaris once provided sacred protection. It is a sacred protection that aims to make the child always healthy, but what happens is that the child becomes immortal. Almost eternal. That's why I'm so curious about the effect of the sacred protection you're giving me, ...Solaris?"

Kuro held onto Solaris' shoulder with a cold and bloodthirsty look. Of course Kuro can't beat Solaris if it's about strength, but his current nature as a father defeats all that.

Solaris certainly realized at this time he was provoking the anger of two of the most dangerous people in the world. That's why he trembled in fear.

[Egr.... King, I know what you're thinking but.].

"In other words, the sacred protection of Solaris is more like a curse than a blessing. As a mother I started to worry about Riku's future. Solaris, I also want to know the sacred protection you gave me? You don't mind, do you?"

Just like Kuro, Laila held the shoulder of another Solaris.

The cold pressure and killing aura were released by Laila and Kuro. Currently these two were the ones who were able to defeat the True Dragon King.

[Alright.. I'll tell you, but please don't press me like this.]

As a True Dragon King, Solaris is in danger for the first time.

Meanwhile, Riku smiled happily in his sleep.

"I can't believe he got us in trouble."

"Yes. But that's how Solaris is. He was always like that when I was there."

The two see Lic and Riku sleeping on the same bed. Seeing that, both are true like brothers born from the fruit of their second love.

"We don't yet know what sacred protection Solaris has. But if Riku is in trouble because of that, I promise I will punish him severely."

The sacred protection given to Riku was something not even Solaris knew about. This is quite surprising considering he is the one who provides sacred protection. This was the reason why the two were dissatisfied when they heard the explanation from Solaris.

But despite the absurdity, Solaris had never given human mother's milk before, so she had no idea what effect it had on Riku. One thing is certain, Riku will have a strong destiny.

"There's no point in worrying right now. Kuro, how about we take a break."

"Yes. I think we need that."

The two then leave from Riku and Lic's room (temporary room). Just in case the two of them woke up, Laila and Kuro chose the next room.

Just as usual, Laila changed into a piya-no, more appropriate if she took off her clothes and just left her underwear.

For Kuro, he just took off his clothes. Then they both went to bed as usual.

"Good night."

Both of them hugged and closed their eyes.

A few seconds later

The doorbell sounded. Not just once, but many times like a bully.

"I'll kill anyone who interferes with my sleep."

Kuro got up with his sword right in front of the house. Then with a huge and bloodthirsty aura he opened the door with a sword ready to be smoothed.

But upon seeing who had come, Kuro instantly froze.

"Hoo... Now you dare to point that weapon at me? Looks like I'll have to rethink whether I approve of your relationship."

"Dad Macho, why did you come at a time like this?"

Yep. Their bully's guest is Laila's father. The strongest paladin.

Maybe because of Kuro's attitude, he gave off an aura that made the legs freeze. Even Kuro.

Leon was wearing Imperial Knight attire and carrying something in his hands.

"I came to the house of my future daughter-in-law who was just in front of my own house, do I need a reason?"

"Ah.. No. gabe. That's not what I meant. Let's go in."

"..."

Without much word Leon enters into the living room. That was when Leon's eyes glanced at the various corners of the house.

"I'll call Laila and make her a drink. Understandably, all the servants in this house are not there."

"You don't have to bother. I just came by for a second, you just called Laila."

"...alright."

Kuro leaves and after what time, he returns with Laila. Of course the two had changed clothes to be more polite in front of Leon.

"Dad.."

"California. I'm glad you're healthy."

Laila quickly hugged Leon. They both seem to miss each other.

"Don't you know that I'm just tired? Don't worry so much."

"Do you forbid a father to worry about his own daughter?"

After the fight, Laila and Kuro parted ways with the other party. It was not a suitable situation because there was still a lot to talk about. Especially about Lic being the source of the disaster.

But Kuro and Laila draw swords at anyone who tries to touch Lic, which is why no one dares to touch Lic.

After that the two went home and rested to recuperate. That's why until now the two did not know what happened to Charlmilia and the others. No, more precisely if they don't really care.

"No. It's just that I wonder why you came late at night like this. I thought you'd come tomorrow with mom and the others."

The members of the Laila family during the fight were evacuated to a safe place. You could say a special place for nobles. However, if anything happens to them, the government will be faced with Leon's anger.

After all the fighting is over, it is planned that tomorrow morning the citizens can return to the capital. For people whose homes are damaged, the government will rebuild.

"I was planning like that. But right now there's an urgent matter so I should come to see you guys this late."

Knowing Leon was going to talk seriously, the three sat in the living room.

"All right, I'll just go right ahead."

"..."

"..."

"I came here to give this to you."

Leon handed him a thick paper sealed by magic. The moment Kuro received it, the seal disappeared and Kuro instantly opened the contents.

"It's a..."

"We were invited to the palace to meet the emperor?"

The two stared at each other in surprise.

"It's normal to remember what you achieved in the fight last night. Of course I don't know if he wants to give gifts or anything like that, one thing is for sure, I know Uncle Sei is not a person who likes to invite people for no reason."

The reason why Leon called the emperor an uncle, apart from age, Leon had known Sei since childhood. In other words he and the emperor were arguably familiar.

"In addition to the two of you, your friend's friend was also invited by Uncle Sei." Leon added.

After hearing that, the reaction of the two instead of being happy, but looked alert.

This was natural because right now the Lic that was the source of the disaster was in their hands. With such a powerful force, it was only natural that the government would forcibly seize Lic or do something bad like sealing.

In addition to that reason, the other reason might be because Laila was able to use Hokami or it could be because Kuro was able to use Darkness Art. Given all that, coming to the palace was not the right choice, but if they refused, it would be tantamount to disrespecting the emperor. If that happened, then Laila's father's position would be bad.

"We have no choice but to come."

"Don't worry, no matter what happens I won't let them take Lic."

"Thank you, Kuro. I'll do the same. I might choose to destroy the palace if that happens."

Leon's face turned deathly pale.

Right now Laila is capable of doing what she says, so she's worried that Laila will actually do it.

Perhaps this was due to Kuro's influence, but it could also be because the Leon family had always protected their family in full force.

"Just calm down, I'm sure he won't do anything that far. Besides isn't Izriva now sealed?"

"Indeed. But how did you know? We haven't told anyone about it."

Laila's gaze became sharp. And it made Leon sweat cold. He had already memorized the true nature of the women in his family, so this was one of the things Leon could not handle.

"A-just assume we have a good informant like Kuro ahahaha..."

Both of them could not laugh at all.

Kuro started talking.

"I understand. The point is we have to come to the palace to meet the emperor. I haven't seen him in a long time."

"Eh.. Kuro, have you met him in person?"

"That's kind of."

"Muu.. I'm pissed when you're like this."

"Ehem.."

Leon returns them to the normal world.

"I'm glad you guys are still this friendly, but it looks like I have to go. There are still many matters such as how to restore the condition of the city."

Leon stand. Kuro and Laila followed.

"It's not a good time to talk, which is why I hope we can all come together to talk about all this. Of course including your marriage."

Both of them immediately looked happy, even though Kuro did not show it directly.

Leon finally left. Laila and Kuro led her to the front door.

"Laila, take good care of yourself"

Not yet finished, there was the sound of a child crying.

"Ah.. Riku's awake. Maybe he's wetting the bed. Dad, I'll see you tomorrow."

Without many words, or a farewell hug, Laila leaves Leon and Kuro.

"Er... Who's Riku?"

"Your grandson, Macho's father."

Then, Kuro closed the door loudly as if driving Leon out of his house.

When he did not see Leon, Kuro smiled with satisfaction.

"Ah.. Laila was really a mother. I'm really happy."

Then Kuro follows Laila to Riku's room leaving Leon who repeatedly banged on the door, but no one pokes.

"What do you mean by grandchildren? Hey motherfucker, tell me!!"

At the same time, a girl was looking at the moon alone on her porch.

Just like the house of Kuro and Laila, his house was in the territory of the nobles. It's just that the size is smaller and it's on the periphery. In addition to showing status, the house also shows the economy of his family.

Her hair was unraveling as it was being blown by the cold night wind. In addition to the weather starting to enter autumn, but there are no clouds so the wind is cooler than usual.

In her hand, an invitation for her she held. It was an invitation to meet the emperor.

Although this is an opportunity that may not come twice, but now the invitation is like a new problem.

His father was known as an ambitious man. Everyone knows that and it has become a joke wherever he goes. But as many as , as high as anything his father wanted to achieve, everyone knew that it was in vain.

...Unless you make a feat that makes the empire acknowledge you.

This is what's happening right now. Although yesterday he fought not for the sake of the country or even for the sake of achieving achievements, but it was an invitation from a thousand kinds of problems.

One example is wedding invitations and various kinds of political or business invitations to his family.

For him, it doesn't matter. With her status as a Queen, she is currently a special person, because that is why the rules of the world do not apply to her. If he wanted to, even he could break the family relationship with his family at this time.

But he didn't do that. Haven't. Right now there are bigger problems than his family's.

The problem is his feelings.

"...i've decided to express my feelings. Honestly, I'm afraid of the answers I get."

He doesn't have to think much to know what he's going to accept. Even so, just imagining it already made his heart ache.

He had no idea what he would feel if he really heard that from Kuro's mouth directly.

"No. Maybe it'll hurt, but maybe it's time to move forward."

But as long as he had not heard a direct answer from Kuro, it did not mean that he would have to give up on his feelings.
