"Hmmp! Glib-tongue. How can you protect me if I'm stronger than you? Maybe it's going to be the other way around."
Though Rosella was using an unsatisfied tone, she was very happy in her heart.
"Well, you still haven't seen the things I can do."
Yan wore his evil smile and looked at every part and curves of her body with undisguised greed and desire.
"Do you want me to show you?"
"..."
When she heard his vague reply, Rosella thought he was talking about naughty topics. She immediately panicked and hid her blushing face.
"Ye...no! I...I'm not ready for that yet!"
Yan was amused by her reply. He had read her thoughts.
"What are you thinking? I'm talking about how I'm going to show you my fighting skills. Hmm. Can't we just have a pure and innocent conversation? You have a dirty mind. Tsk. Tsk."
She immediately became embarrassed with her reply. She lightly punched his chest.
In a couple of hours, daybreak will come. The both of them didn't sleep but spent the whole midnight flirting and kissing. Yan had now groped every part of her body except for her most intimate part.
"Bad guy. My lips are now swollen and you've already taken advantage of me. You still haven't told me why you're going to kill some people."
Rosella only gained her own control from Yan when her lips started to hurt with all the intense kissing. Yan also stopped his lips but not his hands. They seem to never tire out.
"Well, when we entered the Adventurer's Guild the other day, I've noticed strange men secretly sitting at the back of the bar. Adventurers in these place seemed to only reach Level 30 to Level 35. But I've noticed those men in dark hoods that they were at Level 65 to Level 68. And yesterday, when we were at your office, I've detected a strong individual approaching the town. He was at least Level 72.
I've suspected they're from Stormrein. I think they've gain information and that they're here to go to my village to attack or abduct Rae's family. I've already locked on their auras and I know their current location. They're staying at an inn near here. They've already sent a scout to the village to confirm."
Yan unconsciously let out a murderous glint in his eyes. He loved his Uncle Cain, Aunt May and his little brother, Ashes. He would unhesitatingly kill those who wanted to harm them. His murderous aura instantly vanished and then wore a seductive smile.
"Because of my love for you, I decided to visit you first to ask permission and also gain a wife along the way. Haha!"
Rosella already suspected that Yan had noticed the strong individual that entered the town yesterday but it was only a suspicion. When he confirmed her suspicion, she was shocked. She barely even noticed that individual and it was with the help of an artefact.
Yan obviously didn't possess those kind of artefact so she was very surprised.
"I've also noticed them a little while ago. I didn't thought about it much. But now I heard your story, your theory may be very possible. So, how are you going to do it? Sure you have a handsome face but can you defeat them? I think you're not even 20 years old and those individuals are already professional with their jobs when you were still a baby. What's your level anyway?"
"You're right, I'm still that young. But worry not, I can defeat them alone. A few days ago, I turned 17 and my level is at Level 50. Impressive, right? Hehe."
Yan boasted with a cocky attitude.
"What?!"
Rosella jolted in his lap. She looked at him like he was a monster. She knew he was young and strong, but she never knew her future husband was this young and this strong!
"Impressive indeed. When I was 17, I was barely Level 20 and that was almost 10 years ago. They've called me 'a genius once every hundred years' in the capital. Of course, my current achievements was all the results of the guidance and help of my Godfather. If I'm a genius, then what are you?"
"I'm just a handsome young man. You're husband is super awesome, right?"
"Who's your wife? Hmmp! Even though you achieved that level, it's still far from those individuals level. I can defeat any of them one on one but it will be very hard for me when all of them attack all at once."
"Well, I'm far more impressive that you can imagine. Those individuals are nothing at all. Haha!"
"Well, let's just see. Hmmp."
Rosella thought that Yan was just boasting. But when she remembered who his parents was, she started to rethink.
'Maybe his parents left him something to help him.'
Contrary to her thoughts, Yan didn't receive any thing from his parents as of yet.
"Well, their scout had yet to return. I think they will commence their attack later this evening. I better rest first to conserve energy."
"Right. I'm very sleepy now. I'm going to rest too. I'll be joining you this evening lest anything will happen to you."
Yan quickly thought of something.
"How about you return to the inn with me? Sleep by my side."
Rosella blushed. She was about to say yes but hesitated.
"Your Rae is there. Won't it be a problem if she gets angry with both of us?"
"Don't worry. Rae is a gentle. She won't get angry."
After hearing many sentences of Yan, Rosella eventually got convinced by him.
Yan carried Rosella in a princess carry. She blushed but loved every second of it. She wrapped her hands on his neck and enjoyed the moment. They've entered their room in through the open window.
When Yan and Rosella entered the room, Rae opened her eyes. She looked at Yan for a moment then proceeded to stare at Rosella for a long time.
With her stare, Rosella started to fidget.
Rae only sighed and then smiled.
Yan and Rosella relaxed. Yan was not scared of Rae becoming angry but he couldn't help but feel relax when she accepted Rosella.
Yan grabbed Snow then threw him to the floor. Snow was angry at first but ultimately decided to let him off. He continued his sleep in the corner of the room.
Yan slept in the middle of the bed with two beautiful ladies on each side. Both of them hugged him and made his arms their pillows. He was living the dream.
Yan wanted to do naughty things but he noticed that the two ladies were already asleep. He can only sighed.
"Catriona, you said that I have to pay you money to gain skills, right?"
[Yes, Master. You have to offer money to me to learn skills.]
"Well, right now, I have 290 gold coins in my pocket. Can I learn some skills?"
[Yes, Master. If I add all the cost of the skills from Level 1 to Level 50, it costs more than 10,000 gold coins. Master's current money is far from enough.]
"What, that much?!"
[Yes, Master.]
Yan knew how difficult it was to gained money in this world. And he also have to buy skills for Rae in the capital.
"Well, I will use 200 gold coins to buy some skills."
200 gold coins instantly vanished inside Yan's storage ring. He then felt knowledge rushing to his brain.

Second out of three for today. Enjoy! ♥️
In an inn somewhere in Bree.
"Sir, I have confirmed that Cain Thomas and May Mercury are currently residing in Rosario Village for almost 20 years now. They have two offsprings, one girl and one boy. The girl seems to be 16 years old while the boy is 6 years old. According to the villagers, they also seem to have a foster son named Yan who's about 17 years old.
Cain, May and their son, Ashes, are the currently living in the village while their daughter, named Rae, has not been seen for days now. According to the people, Yan and Rae constantly go out the village and disappear for many days."
A large man covered in dark cloak suddenly lifted his hood to show his face. He tapped his fingers in the wooden table. The people surrounding him kept quiet. Their eyes flashed fear and reverence in this man.
"This operation is still a secret. The higher ups still have no idea that we found those two escapees. This is my chance to climb up to the ranks in the capital and bring back my lost reputation."
He extruded a fearful aura the moment he mentioned his 'lost reputation'. His subordinates kept a bowing head in fear of angering him.
If Rosella was here, she would recognise this man. He was Benedict Tudor, a Level 72 Warrior. Ten yers ago, he was once dubbed as a genius in the capital. But years later, his peers, like Rosella, managed catch up to his talents. Now, he was nothing more than a forgotten name.
He was born from a brach family of the Tudors. As born with a Warrior Job, rather than a Mage, he was seen as a lowly brute by the eyes of the main Royal Family.
When he secretly intercepted the information about Cain and May, he decided to go here alone and capture them. By doing this, he though he will get back the recognition he thinks he deserve.
As he stood up from his seat, Benedict Tudor prided his height as a 7 foot tall human with a giant two-handed sword at his side. It was his personal weapon.
"We will go there this evening and deliver them alive to the capital. Prepare everything. I don't want a single mistake to happen!"
"Yes, Sir!"
- - -
"Oh. The scout had return. I think they're going to go the village tonight."
Yan was skimming on a bookshelf in Rosella's office while Rosella and Rae sat down on the couch and having a tea party. Both of the girls are currently in harmony.
"Now we can see how capable they are."
Rosella said with arrogance. She was showing her other battle hungry side.
Rae kept quiet while stroking Snow's fur. When she became an adult, she started to speak less and became aloof in front of others. But she will only show her femininity in front Yan.
Today, Yan explained to her about the current situation. He told her that there are men in the nearby inn who will likely attack her parents tonight. He told her that he's going to kill them.
Rae just nodded in reply.
She didn't judge Yan for she will do exactly the same thing he will do. Killing monsters has been in part of her life for the last ten years. For her, those men who wanted to harm her family are worst than the vilest monsters. Killing those men would not be much different for her. She extruded her usual cold expression but was very furious inside.
After a couple of casual skimming, Yan noticed a particular large book in the shelf.
"Origins: The History of the Universe, the Kingdoms and its people in Azureth"
'Oh. This Interesting. Except for the things Uncle Cain had told me, I knew nothing about the other things in this world. We still have time, so why not read this.'
He picked up the large book and started reading it as he sat down in the middle of Rae and Rosella.
Rosella priced her collection of books. Though not as large as the Royal Library in the capital, her books had a priceless value that she bitterly collected the most part of her life. If others were to touch her collections, she would rain them with Shadow Bolts and curses. But because it was Yan, she didn't say anything and smiled. She thought Yan and Rae need to know these informations.
Yan began to read the book out-loud for Rae to hear. She quietly listened in Yan.
"A long time ago, it is said that our universe were created by the a group of supreme gods known as the Elder Titans.
In the beginning, the universe was formless and desolate. It was uninhabited, cold and was covered in darkness.
The leader of the Elder Titans, Valcrow 'The Light-bringer', saw our universe was covered in darkness. And with his thought, countless of stars shone bright all across the universe. Light and warmth was created.
Theodrite 'The Provider' felt that the universe has no place to for living things to thrive. And with a wave of a hand, planets took shape out of nothing and continents and the oceans were created.
Helene 'The Shifter', thought that the universe had no beauty. And with her words, the earth and the seas brought forth myriad of grasses and trees that yield fruit of any kinds and flowers bloomed to beautify the lands.
Ivan 'The Thousand-Clans', thought that that this universe needed inhabitants. And so with a stomp, creatures of any kind was formed out from the dust in the air. Creatures of any shapes and sizes in the land, air and sea were born.
Eldrich 'The All-Father', the strongest of all the Elder Titans, thought that their creations needed guardians. He drew out one drop of his blood and splashed it all across the cosmos. And with his blood, humanoid creatures with intelligence were born."
Got the writer’s block for a few days. It’s a sad thing. Let me world build. Enjoy! ♥️
