THE REINCARNATED WITH THE STRONGEST SYSTEM
Chapter 13: Cooked Rice
"So, what do you think, William?" James asked. “The first thing I did after seeing you was write a letter to my old friend and ask him to make his grandson your fiancee.”
“Eya?” (Wedding?)
The old man smirked while rubbing William's chubby cheeks.
"He's a year older than you, '" James explained. “Although I've never seen him, the old bastard always bragged about his cute grandson. Since that's the case, making her your fiance is definitely a good thing. Ah, she's also the daughter of a Duke. This is a good opportunity for our family to rise to the rank of nobility.”
'... I didn't know my grandfather was a gold digger.' The baby's expression was cloudy.
The old man noticed the disgruntled expression of the baby and decided to persuade him.
“What's wrong with having a beautiful girl as your fiancee? Whahuh? You are not satisfied? Don't worry, when you grow up, I'll make sure that you eat 'cooked rice' as soon as possible. They could not break the engagement once little William was inside his belly.”
“... Eyah.” (.. Motherfucker.)
William wanted to slap his grandfather for thinking of committing a crime. Although he did not hesitate with the idea of having a fiancee. Arranged marriages usually do not end well. Most of the time, it was just a tool for political gain for the nobles.
James wanders around the estate carrying William. Ella walked beside the old bastard and kept an eye on the little baby. An hour later, James climbed a hill overlooking the city of Lont.
"William, our family has lived here for generations" James said. “Life here is simple and rough, but very peaceful. Far from the game of despicable nobles, but not important enough for the watchful eyes of the King.”
This was the first time William had seen his grandfather act this serious. For a moment he forgot that the stupid old man wanted him to fall on the bed with his fiancee and give her a great-grandchild.
“Our line of descent is very few. Besides me, my two sons, Matthew, and you, there is no more Ainsworth in this country. We are the last of the dying kind. ”
'Um 'Um? We don't have any surviving relatives?' William frowned. 'How can it be?'
James sighed as he looked into the distance.
William could see the sadness and reluctance in his grandfather's expression. Although he wanted to know why their bloodline only had a few family members, he knew that now was not the right time.
Several hours passed and the family held a dinner party to commemorate James' safe return from his trip. Matthew, the eldest son of Uncle Mordred and Aunt Anna sat next to James.
William, on the other hand, lay down beside Ella and drank her milk. His eyes were fixed on the family dinner in front of him. He had never experienced this when he was still on Earth because he was an orphan.
However, right now, he was wrapped up in a sense of belonging. This is her family, and the soul in the baby feels grateful to have been given the opportunity to be born into this warm and caring family.
'Right then, if I enter the silver portal, will I be born into a better family than this?' thought William.
During his one year stay in Ainsworth Residence, he learned that his birth mother was in the Silvermoon Elf Continent. William does not remember what his mother looked like. All he knew was that they were forced to separate because of the circumstances of his mother.
'It's okay, ' William murmured in his heart. 'I will look for my mother when I grow up. No need to rush.'
William knew his father was dead. He did not know how he died, because no one in the family was talking about him. As with her mother, she decided to find out more when she had reached the appropriate age.
After dinner, William was taken to the couple's bedroom. Ella was with him as usual.
“Eya.” (Mama, do you want to go back to the dungeon?)
“Meee.”
“Eya.” (Are you not afraid?)
“Meeeeh.”
The Angorian goat licked the baby's cheek in return.
“Ya. yes?” (OK, but we'll be right back if things get dangerous, okay?)
“Meeeeh.”
A few hours passed and the couple finally fell asleep. William held the ring hanging in his necklace with both hands and activated it.
A second later, he found himself in a familiar cave. Ella stood beside him and was on full alert.
“Eya.” (Give.)
Ella's body shone and she grew half a meter taller. The statistics have been raised by ten. But it doesn't end there. William's passive skill “Way of the Shepherd and Wolf in Sheep's Clothing” improves stats by three additional stat points.
While William doesn't know if the current Ella is strong or not, he is confident she can handle a one-on-one fight with goblins.

“Ya. yes?” (Mama, remember our deal. We'll only fight two goblins at a time, okay?)
“Meeeeh.”
Angorian Goat lying on the ground. William crawled on Ella's back to ride her. For some reason, as she sat on the back of the goat, she felt that she would not go down even if Ella ran at full speed.
It was as if the two of them had merged into a single entity. It was a strange feeling, but he didn't like it.
“Eya.” (Let's go Ma.)
“Meeeeh.”
A pair of babies and goats sneak into the depths of the Goblin Crypt. William's heart was racing inside his chest. Although he was scared, he was also looking forward to the possibility of becoming one of the protagonists he read in the novels on Earth.
