Chapter 176: Father-In-Law...!
Chapter 176: Father-In-Law...!
Yang family residence…
Night lamps were shining brightly inside the Yang family residence. Inside Amelia's room, on the large black wood bed, Kent sat with his legs stretched and leaning his back on the pillows.
While Kent is seriously reading Arcane Tome for new spells related to the fire element, Amelia is sleeping peacefully with her head resting on Kent's thigh.
Since this afternoon, Kent hasn't left her room. Even though Linda arranged a room for Kent to stay, Amelia requested him to stay beside her.
Kent's eyes were occasionally moving from the Arcane tome to Amelia's beautiful face. Along with happiness, a bit of unease played on Kent's face. The reason for the uneasiness is the information shared by Peak Master Shreya. She instructed him to reach the Eternal Sun sect by tomorrow.
Kent tried to reason with her by talking about Amelia's condition. But after hearing about the Inheritance Ground awakening, Kent understood the urgency. Inheritance grounds were the best opportunity to get an inheritance Asthra, and he has only one month to prepare.
While Kent lost in thought, Amelia opened her eyes and staring at his dazed face. With one look, she understood that Kent is worried about something.
"Is something wrong?" Amelia asked in a calm tone.
Kent regained his focus after hearing her tone. Without answering her, he smiled back and touched her nose.
"I can see your worry. Tell me what happened. Are you upset about something?" Amalia asked again with a serious look.
Keeping the book aside, Kent pulled her body into his embrace. "Yes, my master instructed me to return to the Eternal Sun Sect as soon as possible. In one month, the immortal inheritance ground is going to awaken. He wants to prepare me for that. I tried to ask for a few days to treat your condition, but it's no use.
The best thing is you can come with me to the Eternal Sun Sect." Kent replied while hugging her dearly.
As a powerful maga who qualified for wizard association recruitment, Amelia clearly knew the importance of an inheritance ground.
"Kent, go back to your sect. The inheritance ground is not a small thing to ignore. I stayed in this room for a decade. A few more months is not a big thing for me." Amelia replied in a determined tone.
"Are you forgetting the option of coming with me to sect? Your father might say no to it, but I can deal with him. What do you say?" Kent asked while caressing her cheeks.
"Nooo… If I come with you, I will become a distraction for your training. I don't want to spoil your chance at inheritance ground." Amelia said it seriously, without a second thought.
"If that is your concern, my training will only be happening at night. I have plenty of time to treat you. Also, if I leave you here, my brain will always think about you, and I won't be able to focus on my training. So, be a good wifey and come with your hubby. Kent replied with a teasing smile.
Even then, Amelia tried to deny Kent's suggestion, but after a long argument, she agreed to come with him to the Eternal Sun Sect.
As Linda brought good food for Kent, Amelia ordered Linda to call the patriarch, Su Yang, to her room. In the meantime, Kent finished the tender meat cooked with rare spices.
Su Yang's eyes went wide after entering his daughter's room. Amelia's head is placed on Kent's thigh, and they looked very intimate and close. Before Su Yang could imagine anything, Amelia explained the situation with Kent and his departure.
Su Yang frowned after hearing Amelia's request to go with Kent. "Amy, what's wrong with you? Did this fellow use any subduing spell on you?" Su Yang asked seriously, angered by the sudden request of his daughter.
"Father, listen to me before blaming Kent. I already promised to marry him for treating me. I also like him personally. So, please treat him as your son-in-law and let your daughter go with her husband." Amelia said it loudly without showing any weakness. Even though Kent knew about Amelia's authoritative attitude, he really surprised by her straight-forwardness and the way she dealt with her father.
Su Yang rooted to the spot with a shocked face after hearing his daughter's reply. He tried to refute her words, but he didn't find any words to argue with his daughter, who has been lying on the death bed for a decade.
Soon, his gaze moved onto Kent, who sat calmly without any fear or concern. Su Yang's fists clenched in frustration, but he controlled his anger, remembering Kent's healing ability, which brought hope to the Yang family.
"Father, you don't need to worry about family. As the next head of the Yang family, I will make sure that our family prospers in the future. No one can replace us in Purple Mountain City." Amelia spoke in a promising tone, convincing her father, who is in a frustrated state.
"Okey… I will make arrangements for your departure. I already used the promising token of the Supreme Sword Magus of Wizards association. Soon, the purple jade silk will be delivered. Young man, don't disappoint me." Su Yang said the last sentence while staring at Kent.
"Rest assured, father-in-law. I will take good care of Amelia." Kent replied with a smiling face.
Releasing a deep sigh, Su Yang walked out of Amelia's room. After coming out, he began taking out the valuable things from the Treasury to gift Kent before his departure.
Inside the room, Amelia is laughing madly, recalling the scene of Kent calling her father-in-law.
