Cheat Awakening

Chapter 220: Chapter 220. Amy's Journey

"When my kingdom was attacked, my father made a quick decision and hastily hid me in a secret tunnel under our palace. Only he knew about it. He had prepared a storage bag with a lot of food and useful items for me. I stayed hidden there for two entire days. When my father didn't return, I gathered my courage and walked out of the secret tunnel.

Later what I saw still haunting me in my dreams. Everything had been destroyed. Once a beautiful and prosperous kingdom had turned into ruins overnight, with rows of corpses scattered everywhere. The people I once knew were nowhere to be seen, leaving only me alone with no hope. I cried while sitting amidst the ruins of my home and my people for many days.

It was only when greedy humes started appearing in the hope of finding the treasure that I changed my appearance, hiding among them and escaping from there.

I wandered through various kingdoms, disguising myself. However, my magical disguise wasn't perfect and left traces of magic on my body. Anyone with good magical sensitivity could see that something was amiss. This constant fear that someone might discover me and sell me as a slave plagued me.

But thankfully my luck remained good until I came to your relatively peaceful and law-abiding kingdom. Although I didn't encounter any bounty hunters or slave merchants here, on my way to this small town, while searching herbs in the forest, I was accidentally discovered by the Orc king who was wandering there and got captured by him.

Later, the knights of your king saved me, and even after discovering my true identity, they didn't harbour any ill intentions. Not only did they provide me with a place to stay, but they also helped me conceal my identity. I am incredibly grateful for that," Amy said, bowing in front of everyone.

Now I understand why my cheap father-in-law takes her so seriously and is willing to do so much to protect her. It's definitely because of me. After meeting Fenrir and confirming that there are indeed Divine Beasts living in various forbidden places, and after learning that Divine Beasts destroyed two entire kingdoms in a fit of rage, he definitely shit in his pants.

Knowing that the last member of the royal blood of elves appeared in his own kingdom, he worried that if something happened to her, and Divine Beast Ymir, the protector of the elves, would decide to visit his kingdom in anger as well. So he thought of protecting this hot potato, instead of kicking her out of the kingdom as this can be backfired if she had a way to contact Ymir.

So when Aisha mentioned Amy during the conversation with him, his eyes lit up with joy. He immediately decided to throw this rouble on my head, as a person favoured by two Divine Beasts. Even if something were to happen to Amy while she's with me, it would be my responsibility, and my backing divine beasts certainly not going to let him and the kingdom destroy just for a single person.

Sigh, I unknowingly got caught up in my father-in-law's schemes again. If only Aisha had told me about her earlier, I could have at least asked for some compensation for keeping her safe and providing her with a place to stay. Instead, I not only have to feed her and protect her but also pay her a salary for her nonexistent work.

Being a good person is really so difficult, Myne thought with a deep sigh. However, as his eyes fell on Amy's body, he made up his mind. Since she couldn't provide him with money or other valuable things in return for his services, and as a person who believed in equal exchange, he decided that he would make this elf princess his woman.

"Yep, it's decided. She is mine from now on," Myne mutters to himself while staring at Amy with the fire of determination ignited in his eyes and little brother.

"Even after knowing my true identity, would you still be willing to accept me?" Unknown to Myne's inner determination who already decided to make her his woman, Amy made an expression like 'gave up on everything' and looked at Sylphy, Aisha and finally at Myne.

Hearing Amy's question, Aisha and Sylphy didn't say anything and looked at Myne, waiting for his answer. Despite often not taking him seriously due to his childish behaviour, they recognized that he was the core of their family, and his decision would be final.

Myne, who had already decided to make Amy his woman, felt a pang of guilt after seeing Aisha and Sylphy's sincerity but only for a second before he threw it out of his mind, and spoke with a helpless smile, "Why are you two looking at me? Even if I refuse to let her join our clan, the looks on your faces are as clear as the day that you've already decided to have her join. So why bother asking me?

I have no intention of sleeping on the couch, alright?"

Upon hearing Myne's words, Aisha and Sylphy's beautiful faces lit up with joy and they decided to reward Myne later for his sweet flirtiness.

"Welcome to our clan, Amy. I hope we'll have a lot of fun together," Aisha said cheerfully.

Ahh, Aisha, honey, a foursome might be a little difficult. The other two have to wait quite a bit for their turn if everyone wants to be satisfied fully, Hearing Aisha's simple sentence, Myne, who was racking his brain to think of how to seduce Amy, immediately took it in a double meaning and thought with a perverted smile.

"Yes, Amy, staying with us will be the safest option for you. Believe me, no one can mess with our Lord Husband, and if someone does, their end won't be peaceful," Sylphy said casually, excitedly.

"Cough! Cough!" Bazzam, who was drinking wine in the background, coughed loudly after hearing Sylphy's comment.

"Don't drink so hastily, old man. If you die while drinking, it'll be too cheap a death for someone like you. You deserve a more exciting end," Myne taunted Bazzam, seeing him coughing, he was unable to resist and taunted him with a smug look.

"What did you say, you bastard?" Hearing Myne's taunts, the hot-tempered Mia immediately flared up and yelled at him.

"Mia, Myne is just joking. How many times do I have to tell you to control your anger? It's your hot temper that's keeping you single for so long," Aisha rebuked with a frown, calming Mia down.

"I'm fine, Mia. It's just that this wine is a bit too strong for an old man like me. It seems like I have to do something about my drinking habit," Bazzam said, acting like a helpless, weak old man and gently patting Mia's head.

"As expected, newlyweds... To tell the truth, I'm a little jealous of you guys. I hope one day I can also find a family like yours," Amy said with a little giggle, hiding envy on her face.

"Myne, Myne, don't forget about me. Introduce me to her as well. I'm also a part of the family," Waffle, who had finished all the snacks, wiped his mouth with his little paw, flew on top of Myne's head, and spoke in his mind.

"Oh, are you also interested in this kind of thing? I thought you were busy dealing with snacks," Myne said and looked at the empty plate on the table, understanding why Waffle had time to socialize.

Despite mocking Waffle for being a glutton, Myne pointed at him who was flying above his head and introduced him to Amy.

"Amy, meet Waffle. The youngest and naughtiest member of my family. Please get along well!"

Coordinating with Myne's words, Waffle raised his right paw and greeted her with a "Wafuu."

"Pleased to meet you as well, Waffle. I hope we can become friends."

For a moment, although Amy gave Waffle a strange look, she soon smiled as if nothing had happened and spoke gently.

She seems to have noticed something about Waffle," Myne thought, raising an eyebrow as he saw Amy trying to hide her surprise and shocked expression with her thrid-class acting after seeing Waffle flying over his head. Continue reading stories on m|v-l'-NovelBin.net

"By the way, would it be acceptable for the newly formed Clan to take charge of Amy?"

After ensuring that everyone had been introduced to one another, Bazzam, who had been waiting for a while, inquired with a furrowed brow.

"Yes, we'll take full responsibility," Aisha and Sylphy both declared simultaneously. Upon hearing their answers, Bazzam also took a breath of relief as finally the hot potato he had been holding for so many days, soon going to be taken by someone else, and he would be free of this trouble.

"So, when are you officially opening your Clan? And where will Amy stay during the construction period of your Clan? Moreover, what is your plan if thieves were to sneak in and kidnap her while you are away on a mission?" Bazzam bombarded Myne and his gang with questions, as if he were trying to gather all the inside information to later sell it to outsiders for a significant sum of money.

Why is this guy so interested in the inner matters of my Clan? Don't tell me he has some ulterior motive, after knowing that now I can f*ck his entire life If I want, don't tell me he is making a great evil plan in his mind," Myne thought, narrowing his eyes with suspicion.

"Don't worry about it. Father has already arranged everything. There will be soldiers guarding the Clan 24 hours a day, and another person will be in charge of reception, also ensuring Amy's safety," Sylphy responded with enthusiasm. Bazzam replied with a nonchalant "Hm" and nodded his head.

"Anyway, if you need a helping hand, don't hesitate to call me. I will dispatch my most reliable adventurers to assist you," Bazzam declared, thumping his fist against his chest.

"Adventurers and reliable? Who does he think he's fooling? Only an idiot would believe in his nonsense," Myne scoffed internally, his face contorted with disdain.

"Thank you, Guild Leader. If we ever require your assistance, we will certainly turn to you," Sylphy expressed gratitude, genuinely believing in Bazzam's sincerity. Even Amy, who had been suffering so much from Hume, was no different and easily moved, thinking that Bazzam cared deeply for a stranger like her.

Sighing, Myne thought as he rubbed his forehead in frustration, "Now I have two naive, oversized children in my house, whom I must educate about worldly knowledge."

"Regarding Amy's housing situation, we can only trouble you, Guild Leader, for a few more days. Once our Clan's building is ready, we will come to pick her up. Until then, please take care of Amy temporarily," Aisha said with a warm smile and Bazzam could only nod his head helplessly.

Afterwards, Myne and his gang spent a few more minutes with Amy before bidding her farewell and returning to their home.
