The Eternal Debauchery's

iris ll situation

As I promised Iris, I acted as soon as possible.

First, I used my ability to send my voice to Marana at the Red Skull Gang headquarters. I asked her to investigate the people who spread these rumors and kill them.

This way, I can send a message to the Carmell family, telling them not to touch my people.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that the days of the Carmell family had already been calculated, and were still useful, I would have taken even more drastic measures.

I don't mind their attempts to smear my name, but I can't deny that I'm a little upset by the fact that they're trying to tarnish Iris' reputation.

Although Iris was really related to Bryan's 'murder', the fact that someone made her so troubled made me angry.

After all, I plan to spend eternity with him. So, I want to make her live with as little regret as possible. That way, we can live as long as possible as carefree immortals, exploring several galaxies and dimensions and seeing the wonders of the universe.

Moreover, the closer I get to completing the soul contract, the more I invest in my feelings in this life. I firmly believe that I have never been so invested with the people I met during one of my life in such a long time.

To be honest, I have never felt so alive in several tens of lives.

After I told Marana about her situation (she was annoyed that I was giving her more work), I waited until late at night to make my next move.

Stepping across space, I appeared at the house of Iris, Siri's family mansion.

Then, I walked inside.

Surprisingly, no one I passed noticed me. It was as if they couldn't see me even though I was only a few steps away from them.

A little trick like this doesn't matter to me. Plus, it'll make my next conversation a lot easier.

Like that, I arrived in front of Iris' father's office.

Without hesitation, I knocked on the door twice. Almost instantly, I heard a voice coming from inside the office.

"Lake in."

As soon as I heard that voice, I entered the office and closed the door behind me.

Iris' father was sitting in front of her desk when I entered the office. He looked down at some documents with a focused look, not even bothering to look at me.

"What's that?" He asked lazily, probably thinking I was a servant.

I curled my lips with a playful smile and spoke up.

“Goodnight, father-in-law.”

As soon as he heard my voice, Iris' father jumped out of his chair.

"You ..." He looked at me with a pale face, as if he had seen a ghost.

I smiled and nodded at him. I then sat down in a nearby chair and looked around the office with a relaxed expression.

“It's a nice office. You have good taste."

My words serve to calm Iris' father. Taking a deep breath, he tried to put the most serious expression he could and looked at me with a frown.

“Yang Mulia Claus... How did you get here? What happened to the guards?”

I grinned. “Why, I just went inside. Don't worry, your guards are fine. They didn't even notice me when I came in.”

Iris' father's expression turned serious.

Although the guards of this mansion were not the strongest in the capital, they were not weak either. Plus, this mansion is protected with some powerful and expensive magic circles. He was confident that even a 12th-tier powerhouse would not be able to attack him without being noticed.

However, I am here in his office, but neither the guards nor the ward reacted.

Iris' father thought about the implications. In the end, he reached the conclusion that I might use some powerful magic tools that allow me to do this.

After all, the idea that I was strong enough to get here just by relying on my own strength was too unbelievable for him.

That conclusion made him sigh in relief.

I grinned. "I think you already know the reason, don't you, father-in-law?"

Iris' father was tense upon hearing that.

“So it is.”

"What else?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Do you think I won't do anything when I see you destroying my woman's happiness?"

"… Woman?" Iris' father raised an eyebrow in surprise. But soon, an expression of consciousness appeared on his face. “You and Iris..”

I just smiled without answering, but that was enough for Iris' father to understand.

Iris' father was shocked. But one second later, he glared at me with an angry look. He then clenched his fists tightly and gnashed his teeth furiously.

“Bags... How dare you do that to Iris!? Do you know the consequences? If someone finds out, he can be executed!"

"Thul? Well, I don't know.” I pretended to panic, but my words were full of ridicule.

Iris' father became even more angry. But after a few seconds, he calmed down and let out a long, tired sigh.

“Iris it... So in the end like this..”.

“... Looks like you are not too surprised.”

“Why should I be surprised?” Iris' father looked at me with a wry smile. “My silly daughter has loved you completely since you were a child. To be honest, if I had known about her love before, I would not have been engaged to her with your sister. Unfortunately, I was not strong enough to cancel the marriage engagement with the imperial family.

Iris' father then looked at me and sighed again.

“Speak, Your Highness.I think you should understand the danger our family is currently facing because of you two.I will be honest with you; I don't mind if you marry my daughter. I'd be happy even. But I can't sacrifice the Siri family for that.”

I looked at Iris' father with a hint of admiration. This fellow…

He is a great example of a good father.

The fact that he agreed to listen to me showed that he did not mind agreeing with me as long as the plan had a certain chance of success.

The fact that she is ready to go this far for her daughter shows how much she loves her.

I let out a disappointed sigh.I was even ready to intimidate him until he peed in his pants.

Removing these thoughts from my mind, I explained my plan.

“Simple,” I said after staring at him for a few seconds. “You only need to wait a while before applying for a posthumous marriage to the emperor. I'll take care of the rest.”

"… While the time?" he squinted. "How long?"

"One month or so, everything will be settled by then."

Iris' father fell silent. He knocked on his desk several times before sighing.

"You know about the current undercurrent in the capital .. If I wait for so long, I'm afraid the emperor will use this as an excuse to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys."

"You don't have to worry about that" I said calmly. “How about this! Tomorrow, tell me you're sick. Then, send someone to bring the marriage proposal to the emperor. Something like a posthumous marriage is not something the emperor can agree to if you are not present in person, so she will have to wait until you recover to approve the marriage and at the same time she will have no reason to oppose you.”

“... It won't work long.”

“you only need stalling for one month. After that, everything will be taken care of.”

Iris' father fell silent. He considered my words for a while before sighing.

“... Okay, I'll take the risk. But you only have one month.I can't risk my family any longer than that.”.

I looked at him for a while before laughing. "Iris has a good father."

Iris' father looked at me with a complicated expression.

“Jaga my daughter.”
