Robin sank in thought for a few minutes, his eyebrows furrowed and his head between his palms.
'Are the words of the All-seeing God true? Do I really love Mila...?'
There is no doubt that he had more feelings for her than ordinary women, and these feelings deepened more and more during the years she spent in Jura, but... love?
This didn't cross Robin's mind for a moment, his idea of himself being a practical person with only his goal in mind
Falling in love with a woman was definitely not one of his goals...
"...." The humanoid light kept staring at Robin from the side the whole time, and at last, he spoke, "Well, looks like this will take a while, you continue your little existential thinking here, I'm out."
"Wait!! ...even if I wanted to get that girl back, could I? In a few months, I'm going on a mission where I'll spend decades, and probably will never come back... should I just forget about it? should I tell her nothing and just disappear when the time comes..? what should I do..?!" Robin quickly stood up and asked.
The humanoid Light looked deeply into Robin's troubled eyes, deep down he could see Robin was Almost begging for something
He certainly didn't look like he was asking sincerely but wanted to confirm an answer he desperately longed to hear...
the All-seeing God sighed, " Since when this exalted one became the All-Romance God?! ... Heh~ forget it, listen here brat.. as long as you have these feelings for her, go tell her your circumstances and let her decide for herself.
At least if she rejects you, you will gradually be able to forget her, because she is the one who decided to stay away from you, and the feeling of regret that fills you will seize to exist as well, I am sure you will have no problems sleeping with whores again if you probably cut ties with her."
"Feeling... regret...?" Robin looked at the ground for a few seconds and then faced the Temple of Light again, "Can I bring her with me to Nihari? she's strong and she can protect me until I get stronger... I have enough gold to buy more Energy Stones to move one or two more individuals with me."
"Is she beautiful?" the All-seeing god Asked with a serious face
"Of course! She is the most beautiful girl in the kingdom, maybe in the entire continent!" Robin said with a bit of pride
"Then no." The All-seeing God gave a decisive response
"What the...?" Robin was surprised by the response
"The Nihari giants are very lustful creatures. If they see a girl as beautiful and petite like her, they will rape her. My words are not talking about the worst of case scenarios, it is simply what will happen, her strength will do you both no good there."
"Nihari giants..? What do you mean by petite, she is almost as tall as me!" The amount of information in that sentence closed Robin's brain
"You too are petite compared to what you will face there! You will know everything when you arrive there, don't take women and don't take anyone to protect you because they will need protection, this job requires adaptability, intelligence, and even the ability to take humiliation while keeping your head down! if you really want you can take someone with you then pick the one you wouldn't be afraid to sacrifice when the time comes... bye for now."
The All-seeing God said his last sentence and didn't wait for another reply, his body dissipated and hurriedly entered Robin's head
Robin sat for a few minutes trying to flip what had just happened in his head, then suddenly stood up and headed toward his palace with a decisive look in his eyes... It was clear that he had made up his mind.
After another ten days--
Robin came out of the palace and told one of the guards, "Get me the fastest possible transportation to travel to Bradley Pearl City!"
Robin was already following Mila's news whenever the opportunity arose, asking Billy or one of the Fire legion about her whereabouts or her condition, and Billy even assigned part of the intelligence team to closely follow her movements.
And 3 months ago, Mila returned with her father to Bradley's Pearl City.
The situation was already settled in their new lands, and the abundance of saints in the family afforded the patriarch and his daughter the luxury of returning to the capital and living the good life they are used to, and also for Galan to supervise all his lands from his capital...
It's time to meet Mila again.
----------------------------------------
After 5 days... Outside Bradley's Pearl City...
"Hahaha, My dear son-in-law, I couldn't believe it when I was told that you were spotted near the city, why didn't you give us advance warning to receive you better?" Galan opened his arms in front of the gate and laughed out loud
Robin jumped out of his carriage that was dragged by multiable warhorses, furrowed his eyebrows, and muttered, "son-in-law...?"
"What? You don't want to be called that?" Galan asked, surprised
"No, no, it's good... How are you, my father-in-law?" Robin put a smile on his face and walked over to Galan, extending his hand to shake his
"arghh" But Galan opened his arms and hugged him so tight that he almost broke his ribs, before finally leaving him and asking with a laugh, "Why are you here? A new business deal..? Or are you visiting your fiancée whom you forgot?"
"....." Robin didn't reply directly but just made sure all his bones were in the right place, before adding, "Who could forget Mila? I have just been a bit busy lately, and I'm here now to visit her, where is she? Why didn't she come with you.. is she mad at me?"
"Hahaha good! I heard about you arriving just now and came right away, she probably doesn't know yet... She must be in her mansion now, she has only been out once or twice since we got back to the city and this was to fetch raw resources to make the oath tablets I asked her for, oh, thanks for letting her do that by the way…"
"No problem at all, we're family, aren't we?"
" Hahaha of course!" Galan Advanced and patted Robin's shoulders with enough strength to main a low level knight, then continued, " come, let us catch up at my office, I think we have quite a few things to talk about."
"No problem, but not now! I need to go to Mila now." Robin said with a voice that appeared like crying
Galan nodded, "That will do too," then looked beside him, "Brown, take Robin up into that girl's mansion, and make sure she knows he is there."
"Of course, of course." Saint Brown Bradley took a few steps, "Come with me, Your Excellency."
"Haha, no need for this Uncle Brown, if it wasn't for your testimony that day I probably wouldn't be here today, just call me Robin, let's go!"
----------------------------
Two hours later -- inside Mila's mansion
"I couldn't believe it when they told me that His Excellency Robin had come to visit this little girl. To whom do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" Mila entered the reception room and spoke softly, only Robin was in the room...
Robin quickly turned toward the source of the voice and his eyes roamed her body slowly... "Really? You let me wait two hours for this?"
Mila just looked amazing.
Jewelry, makeup, and luxury clothes, nothing revealing this time, just pure beauty and class, as if she was preparing for a party that only the kings of the world would attend...
This is the first time he has seen Mila in all her elegance... She simply looked like a drawing of a fairy who came out of a painting.
"What? Don't you like how I look?" Mila spun around herself and laughed
"How can I not like it... it's just that I never thought you can become even more beautiful..."
Mila stopped turning and looked at Robin with a cheerful smile, "Oh..? Ice boards can say nice words like everyone else?"
"Hehe, if you don't make the Ice board speak, who can?" Robin laughed low and then pointed to a chair next to him, "Have a seat please, we have a long talk to finish today..."
