200. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [51]
As the president and Rodis-san encountered each other by chance, their eyes widened.
?F-Father!?
?Sie!?
He ran up to the president in great haste and hugged her tightly.
?A-Aa… It’s really you, Sie. Thank goodness!?
Rodis-san was delighted from the bottom of his heart, crying tears of joy.
?F-Father, stop it, everyone is watching! It’s kind of stuffy, and it hurts.?
The president, embarrassedly, pushed Rodis-san away.
From this amiable exchange, their family relationship seems to be quite good.
?Ah, I’m sorry. Come to think of it, the bomb is still wrapped around me.?
He wiped away the tears and removed a large number of bombs strapped around his waist.
?W-What were you going to do by wrapping that around your body??
She must not have known Rodis-san’s “plan”.
The president pointed at the bombs, colour draining from her face.
?It’s a suicide bomb if things went south, of course.?
?S-Suicide bomb!??
She staggered a step back, shock plastered on her face.
?Allen Rodore, can you tell me more about what happened??
With a serious expression, Rodis-san asked me to explain the situation.
?Yes, of course.?
Then I explained the summary of the incident.
We got the location of the spot from a “certain source”, and used it to infiltrate the Holy Ronelia Empire.
The spot destination was the tenth floor of Belios Castle. And there was a member of the organization whom we had met before, Zack Bomber.
For some reason, he cooperated with us, so we were able to get to the ceremony hall, which is Numero Dolan’s residence, without any major fighting.
But Gregor Ash, one of the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle, was standing guard there.
I encountered an unexpectedly strong enemy, and managed to defeat Gregor after a fierce battle.
And after rescuing the president, we ran towards the spot which we used to sneak in while being chased by an innumerable number of enemies.
At the last moment, we discovered Sebas Chandler’s betrayal; fortunately there was no battle with him, and everyone jumped into the spot safely.
?This is how we escaped the Holy Ronelia Empire and are now here.?
?So, all that happened.?
Rodis-san, who was listening quietly to the story,
?Thank you so much for saving my daughter. I will definitely return this debt of gratitude someday.?
He looked us straight into the eyes and bowed his head deeply.
?Please don’t worry. We just helped our precious friend.?
Everyone nodded, agreeing with my words.
?Y-You guys…?
?Sie has really good friends.?
The president wiped away her tears, whereas Rodis-san whispered happily.
And when the conversation came to an end,
?Allen Rodore… No, from now on, let me call you “Allen”!?
?Y-Yes.?
Rodis-san, with a strong resolve reflected on his face, called my name powerfully.
There was an indescribable pressure which was different from hostility or bloodlust.
?You protected the Imperial Kingdom from the demon Zerey Grazario and rescued Sie from the Empire. You have a soft face, but you are a true man with soul and spirit.?
?T-Thank you.?
I was praised for some reason, so I decided to bow slightly for the time being.
Then he slowly closed his eyes and exhaled loudly.
?……?
?……?
As an indescribable silence began to flow, Rodis-san opened his eyes and spoke with a strong tone.
?There is no longer any reason to stop it. I’ll acknowledge your relationship with my daughter.?
?Eh, what…??
I didn’t understand what exactly he meant by that. My head went blank in an instant.
