Chapter 442 I Believed Your Lies
The playful activities quickly came to an end, and naturally, it was time for the greetings and well wishes.

From the moment Akina handed over the bouquet and began her long and detailed conversation with Natsumi Yase, Natsumi's smile never stopped. Although it was a very serene and loving smile, it was as breathtakingly beautiful as a blooming ice flower, leaving Aize slightly mesmerized.

"Hey, Aize, could you please stop staring at my aunt like that?" La Fria rarely expressed her displeasure so openly, saying to Aize, "Do you have a thing for younger men?"

"Who said that?" Aize snapped out of her daze and replied without thinking, "I like the voluptuous type."

The next second, Aize realized that he had inadvertently revealed something.

But La Fria didn't seem to fully believe it.

"If that's the case, why don't you look at me so intently?" La Freya said petulantly. "I should be considered quite voluptuous and well-endowed, right?"

As she spoke, La Fria lifted her upper body, drawing Aze's gaze involuntarily to her.

To be honest, this woman is indeed very voluptuous and well-endowed. You can't tell she's only seventeen years old. Among the people Aize knows, in the same age group, there are probably only a handful of people like Claudia, Rias, Akeno Himejima, and Kuroka who can compare to her.

As for Kirin Toudou... well, if she had a few more years, she probably wouldn't lose to the ones mentioned above, right?
With her mature appearance, LaFria is even more in line with Aize's preferences, and can almost be said to be in his good ball zone.

But how can I put it...

"Knowing that you're all black inside, I just can't be attracted to you at all."

Aize couldn't help but complain.

The idea of ​​a scheming princess is intimidating; on the contrary, the pure, innocent, and virtuous little saintess who occasionally displays kindness and holiness is the real weapon of mass destruction.

Of course, Aze's complaints not only made La Fria even more dissatisfied, but also shut her down with a single sentence.

"But when I took my clothes off, you seemed really mesmerized."

These words not only made Aize's lips twitch, but also made a certain sharp-eared little girl turn her head.

"What are you so engrossed in? The scenery? The scenery here is truly beautiful!"

Akinagisa completely missed the point.

"...The scenery is indeed beautiful."

Aize gave Xiaonagisa a vague reply, trying to dodge the question.

"Which scenery are you referring to, Lord Warcraft?"

La Fria, however, was not about to let Aize off the hook, and smiled knowingly.

"Enough with the nonsense." Aize glared at La Fria and said, "Yase's health should be alright, right?"

"Fortunately, all the necessary tests have been done, and all the data so far is normal." La Fria knew that Aize was changing the subject, but she didn't press him further, saying, "It must be because you eliminated the side effects and adverse reactions, right? Or did you treat Xia Yin beforehand with some method?"

“That’s good.” Aize didn’t answer La Fria’s question, and continued to say to himself, “Then she’ll be able to be discharged soon, right?”

“Yes, he’ll stay in the hospital for observation for another day tomorrow. If there are no problems, he can be discharged the day after tomorrow.” La Fria sighed and said, “But now there is another problem that is more difficult to solve.”

Aize had already guessed what the problem was.

"Is it because Yese doesn't want to go back with you?"

Aize's words startled La Fria.

"You already know?"

La Freya was somewhat surprised.

“I guessed it.” Aize crossed his arms and said, “Although I haven’t known that girl for very long, I consider myself to know her quite well, so I don’t think she would want to live a royal life, even if she longs for family.”

Although she is hailed as the saint of the junior high school, Natsune Haze's life is actually very simple.

Before being adopted by Kenjiro Yase, she was an orphan raised in a convent and had long been accustomed to a life of poverty.

After being adopted by Kenjiro Yase, she was just a kind-hearted girl who felt sorry for abandoned cats, worried about them, and couldn't help but take them away and secretly care for them, raising them in the back mountain.

At less than fifteen years old, while other children might be begging their mothers to cook for them, she single-handedly adopted more than a dozen kittens without fear of hardship or fatigue. How could a girl like that possibly want to live a royal life?

In addition, in the original work, Natsune Yase ultimately made the same choice, which is why Aize was able to be certain that the problem Rafria was referring to was Natsune Yase's unwillingness to return to the Kingdom of Aldeqia with her.

“Yes, I didn’t expect it to turn out like this either.” La Fria said with some helplessness, “I thought this trip would just be a very simple search for relatives, but who knew I would get involved in this incident again, and then encounter a situation where the person in question doesn’t want to leave. This trip was a complete waste.”

"What did your family say?" Aize asked tentatively. "You should have already reported it, right?"

“Of course.” La Fria nodded and said, “My father strongly disagrees with doing this. My mother thinks we should respect the person’s opinion. My grandfather… well, his opinion is not important. It’s just that my grandmother is very disappointed and hopes that I can persuade Xia Yin again, saying that she is looking forward to meeting Xia Yin.”

"Your grandmother?" Aize was taken aback at first, then asked with some suspicion, "Would she look forward to meeting the illegitimate daughter her husband had through an affair?"

That's bullshit, isn't it?

If he were truly such a reasonable person, would he have been able to persuade the former king, whose crimes had been exposed, to abandon his throne and flee?

“Because Xia Yin’s mother was originally a friend of my grandmother, and I heard that they had a very good relationship,” La Fria explained. “Although my grandmother blamed my grandfather, she did not resent Xia Yin and her mother, so she was very worried after learning about Xia Yin’s current situation.”

...How could such a thing happen?

What a great experience.

"So what do we do now?" Aize continued to ask, "Since Ye Se doesn't want to go back, you can't possibly force her, can you?"

“How could that be? Since she doesn’t want to go back, we naturally want to respect her wishes.” La Fria said with a wry smile, “But Kenjiro Yase has now been arrested, and Natsune is back to being all alone. Although she says she can live alone without any problems, we don’t want to see that happen, both for our own sake and for the public good.”

From an official standpoint, Natsune Yase is the royal daughter of the Kingdom of Aldegia. Both her status and her extraordinary spiritual medium qualities make her a target for many villains. What if something happens to her if she is left to live alone on Itogami Island?
Personally, Natsune Yase is, after all, a blood relative of the La Fria family, and from their own perspective, they are not comfortable letting a girl who is not yet fifteen years old live alone overseas.

Even with the power of the Aldeqia royal family, they could arrange everything perfectly for Natsune Yase, from care to daily life, ensuring she wouldn't suffer. But that still wasn't enough to put their minds at ease. "Unless a trustworthy person can temporarily act as Natsune's guardian, we can't feel at ease letting her live on this island."

As she said this, the distress and helplessness on La Fria's face seemed to vanish instantly, and she turned to look at Aize with a smile.

Good heavens... this woman was faking it!
"...You're not referring to me, are you?"

Aize's eyes twitched, and he felt his whole body go numb.

"Don't you think it's a good fit?" La Fria clasped her hands together and said in a cheerful tone, "If the legendary King of Monsters is nearby to protect and watch over us at all times, then our safety is definitely guaranteed, right?"

"I think anyone who has this idea must be an idiot." Aize said bluntly, "I am a restless teenage boy who is currently a first-year high school student."

"She is currently in the third year of junior high school, a beautiful girl of marriageable age who is only one grade below me."

"We live together, does that mean we're safe?"

"Believe it or not, by the time Ye Se reaches your age, she'll be old enough to bring two kids back to the Kingdom of Aldeqia!"

Upon hearing this, La Freya not only showed no displeasure, but seemed indifferent, maintaining her smiling demeanor.

“Isn’t that a good thing?” La Fria said. “If we can give birth to the child of the King of Beasts, it would be a sure thing for the Aldeqia royal family. Not to mention that the royal family of our Aldeqia Kingdom is suffering from a dwindling population. Being able to bring back two offspring in three years would be an absolutely wonderful thing.”

"I believe that Mother and Grandmother certainly have no objection to this, and Grandfather's opinion... well, it's still not important."

"As for my father, with your abilities, you should be able to easily withstand his axe, right?"

...So, that doting father would take an axe to chop me up because I slept with his sister-in-law?
How can you say something like that so easily?
"No... are you serious?"

Aize looked at La Fria with some surprise.

Seeing this, La Fria stopped playing around.

“Half and half,” La Fria smiled and said, “Because of what happened with the angel imitation, neither my father nor Xia Yin are really willing to let us stay here any longer.”

"But Xia Yin's wishes need to be respected. The Holy Ring Knights responsible for protecting me have suffered heavy casualties, and the armored airship is basically destroyed. Unless this country is willing to cooperate in escorting me back home, I may encounter danger on my way back."

"So, the royal family has allowed me to stay here temporarily, and they will send someone to pick me up later."

"My family will probably come over then, and we'll have a good talk with Xia Yin."

This was somewhat unexpected for Aize, yet it seemed to be a logical development.

The reason it was unexpected is that in the original work, Nagaku Nagatsuki became Yase Natsune's temporary guardian, so the Kingdom of Aldegia did not send any important figures to contact Yase Natsune, and instead chose to respect Yase Natsune's wishes and let her stay on Itogami Island.

This time, however, Nanami Nayue was practically a bystander, like an NPC issuing quests, and didn't get much involved in the angel-making incident. La Fria, being wary of Itogami Island and unwilling to let anyone touch Yase Natsune's body, sent her directly to a hospital related to Aldegia. This left Nanami Nayue with no reason to contact Yase Natsune, so naturally, she couldn't become Yase Natsune's guardian or temporarily adopt her.

Therefore, both logically and emotionally, the Kingdom of Aldeqia should send an important figure to properly handle the matter of Natsune Yase.

only……

"The family you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be your father, would you?"

Aize asked this question with his eyes half-closed.

“I don’t know either,” La Freya blinked and said, “It shouldn’t be, right? After all, a ruler of a country is very busy!”

Ha ha……

Do you think I'd still believe your nonsense?
Putting everything else aside, just look at your gloating expression. If you say there's no clue behind this, we absolutely won't believe it!
Moreover, Aize was certain that this cunning princess had done something else, otherwise she would never have been so happy.

"Tell me, what did you say to your father?"

Aize asked calmly.

"It's nothing, just telling the truth." La Fria seemed eager to see how Aize would react to this, and cheerfully said, "Like when we first met, I was completely naked, and when Xia Yin's angelic modeling and spirit evolution formulas were broken and you brought her back, she was also completely naked. I just said things like that."

Spicy meatballs...

Aize felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if he saw a sharp axe coming down on his forehead.

"...What was your father's reaction after hearing this?"

He asked me to pass on a message to you.

"What?"

"You just wait, you little brat"—that's all there is to it.

Spicy meatballs...

Now, Aize even saw the entire Knights of the Kingdom of Aldeqia and their entire army appear before him.

"By the way, what if I accidentally kill someone while retaliating? Will anything happen to me?"

Upon hearing this, La Freya's face immediately changed.

“Then I really have to think of a way to give you two children within three years, and then go to the Kingdom of Aldiqia to apologize as an unfilial daughter and grandchildren.”

La Fria's somber words made Azer's lips twitch, leaving him speechless and bewildered.

And so, Aize inexplicably became a potential enemy of the Kingdom of Aldeqia... or rather, of the king.

La Fria brought the girl, Natsune Yase, to live in his house after she was discharged from the hospital.

They euphemistically call it: temporary stay.
