"Riviria, I have something I want to ask you?"

After having dinner last night, Ais went to Riveria's room.

"What's wrong!"

Upon seeing her beloved daughter enter, Riveria immediately put down the magic book she was studying, turned around, and asked.

"I want to know how to express my gratitude to someone!"

Ais's serious attitude and words startled Riveria, but she quickly realized that this was the first time Ais had asked her about anything other than how to become stronger, so she had to answer properly.

Is this person of great help to you?

Rivera is now prepared to do everything in her power to help her beloved daughter solve the problem.

"It must be very big!"

Ais pondered for a moment. Although there was no guarantee that William's suggestion would be useful, it was, after all, the first time someone had given her seemingly helpful advice.

So she still wanted to repay William properly.

"I see! Then those who helped you are from our clan?"

"Yes!"

Ais nodded blankly.

"Is it Tiona and the others?"

Riveria mentioned it casually, after all, Ais had only ever released a few people from the Familia.

"No, it's William!"

"William?"

Riveria blinked her emerald green eyes, wondering if there might be something wrong with her hearing.

"Ok!"

Although she didn't understand why Riveria had repeated the question, Ais nodded patiently.

A surge of emotions welled up inside Riviera; she finally felt like the child she had painstakingly raised had grown up.

She has always paid close attention to Ais's mental state, although the grown-up Ais doesn't seem as stubborn as before.

But she knew that this was just Ais hiding her inner turmoil, which might erupt at any time.

She had always tried to make an effort in this regard, hoping that Ais would focus on something else, but no matter what she did, it was all in vain.

It seems William might be able to have some positive influence on Ais, Riveria thought with her eyes lowered.

"Here's what we'll do! Let William lie on your lap and get some rest!"

Thinking of this, Riveria raised her head and said to Ais in a relaxed tone.

Although she wasn't sure if there was anything between them, she was certain William would appreciate this way of expressing his gratitude.

"It's that simple?"

Ais said with some surprise, she thought she was going to collect some treasure, or give it to William Farley as a token of gratitude!

"Don't worry, no man would dislike this method."

Rivera's tone was quite confident, even though she was also a novice.

But she's seen a lot! And with more experience comes more knowledge!

"Really!"

Let's go back to the present.

“Master Riveria?” William looked somewhat surprised.

He never expected that his usually serious and aloof master would come up with such a terrible—no, brilliant—idea for Ais!

"Doesn't William like it?"

Ais frowned slightly. If William wasn't satisfied with this, she would have to find another way to express her gratitude.

"No, this method is excellent!"

Now that Ais's mother has agreed, he has nothing to hesitate about.

Besides, he wasn't completely without feelings for Ais. If he had no feelings at all, he wouldn't have cut back on his rest time to come here early in the morning to spar with Ais.

William adjusted his posture and gently rested his head on Ais's only patch of white skin that wasn't covered by the blue leg armor.

The moment William lay down, he felt a faint, pleasant fragrance lingering around his nose.

The girl's slightly fleshy thighs were like a rather high-end pillow, the soft touch of which seemed to envelop his head.

William was enjoying the beauty of the girl's thighs.

Ais's pretty face was already burning red. As an innocent young girl, this was the first time she had been so close to a man.

Her golden eyes lowered slightly.

She slowly reached out her small hand and gently tidied William's slightly messy hair on his forehead.

Feeling the girl's gentle movements, William's persistent drowsiness began to dissipate slightly.

"Ais, you're going to the dungeon by yourself later, aren't you?"

William spoke softly; the comforting warmth of the place made him reluctant to raise his voice and disrupt the cozy atmosphere.

"No, Rafia invited me to go with her yesterday."

As Ais spoke, she continued to tidy William's hair without stopping.

"That's good. If you're fighting with weights on, you'll still need your teammates to help you."

"Although your combat experience and skills are still there, your various abilities have suddenly declined, and your fighting methods are somewhat inconsistent."

This is something William discovered during his sparring session with Ais earlier; she kept rushing at him as if she still had her previous speed.

This caused her to become slightly out of sync with her swordsmanship, which is why William was able to seize Ais's opening so easily just now.

"I know!"

She herself is, of course, most aware of the changes in herself.

"William, do you want to come along?"

"While this might not be bad, I think I'll pass!"

"There's something I'd like to discuss with my master later."

William slowly opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed. The view under the girl's skirt, which she had been covering with her hands, was now completely visible to him.

"Little white rabbit?"

William blurted it out without thinking.

"William, you're a lecher!"

The girl's gentle breath landed on William's face from above, and somewhat embarrassed, William quickly turned his head to stare at Ais's already flushed face.

"Actually, I didn't see anything just now!"

"I said the little white rabbit just wanted to eat it for dinner!"

William would never admit to what he had just done. In this situation, admitting it openly would only make the woman more embarrassed, something he had already learned all too well.

The best solution is to stubbornly refuse to admit fault.

Ais pursed her pink lips, her slightly reddened ears trembled, and her cheeks puffed up at a visible speed.

She is indeed somewhat naive, but she's not stupid!

William's somewhat hesitant gaze was observed by her the entire time.

Under Ais's gaze, William couldn't take it anymore and rubbed his face as he sat up.

"William, are we not continuing?"

"No, it's getting late."

"Besides, the weather isn't very good right now. If you keep kneeling on the ground, it's not good for your knees!"

William shook his head. While he was partly embarrassed to get up, he was mostly concerned about the girl's health.

"OK then!"

Ais brushed the dust off her body as she knelt on the ground, and said with a slight sense of disappointment.

She now realized that she might have said something wrong, which made William feel embarrassed.

"Don't do this!"

Seeing the girl's expression, like that of a wounded animal, William subconsciously placed his hand on her golden hair and ruffled it.

I genuinely care about your health!

"If you still want to make it up to me, let's do it in the room next time!"

This familiar gesture instantly warmed Ais's eyes, and her consciousness gradually blurred. Ais couldn't help but murmur softly.

"father!"

William didn't know how to describe his feelings, even though he was the one showing concern for the woman he had feelings for.

As a result, the girl who was comforted had tears in her eyes, and most importantly, the girl called him "Dad"!

However, he knew that his actions must have stirred up some rather heavy memories for Ais.

He gently hugged the somewhat downcast girl and buried his face in her hair.

"I will stay with you!"
