Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

However, he was not happy at all at this moment, because Awula had been discovered while he was away participating in the assessment.

When his parents learned that he had adopted a girl of unknown origin for more than five years, their expressions immediately turned grim.

At this moment, everyone is in the living room.

Simmel lowered her head, the atmosphere around her was terribly oppressive, and she was about to explain.

The father tapped on the armrest, then suddenly spoke, his voice low and deep:

“Take responsibility, Simmel.”

"Five years... a full five years, you've really made something of yourself."

"Do you plan to marry her?"

"If there is..."

"?"

Before her father could finish speaking, Simmel suddenly looked up.

His eyes widened. What was he saying?

and many more.

Although he took Awula in out of pity, his father saw it as keeping a mistress in a golden house.

--broken.

Chapters 278 and 279, Simmel's father: Simmel, you two should get married.

My mind went completely blank.

How can this be explained...?

Simmel unconsciously furrowed her brows and lowered her head to think of a solution.

Actually, you can't blame him for this.

Aura was worried that if too many people knew about his existence, he would be discovered, which is why he asked Simmel to keep it a secret.

Who could have predicted that such a huge misunderstanding would arise simply because of the need for secrecy?

Should we tell the truth?

Simmel was conflicted. Just then, Simmel's mother coughed softly and spoke:

“Simmel, we’ve already met that girl, and she is indeed quite beautiful.”

"Therefore, your father and I can understand what you have done over the years."

"However, understanding does not mean indulgence."

"You and she shouldn't have had any..."

Xin's mother's expression betrayed a hint of worry, even though she knew her son wasn't that kind of person.

But if the woman takes the initiative, what if things escalate and things just start to get heated...?

“No, Mother, absolutely not!” Simmel shook her head resolutely, her tone firm and unwavering.

If this is confirmed, then we'll be in big trouble.

Besides, he had never done it before.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, fixed his gaze firmly on his mother, and solemnly said:

"My relationship with her is simply that of a caregiver."

"Back then, she was being hunted down. As someone who aspired to become a hero, how could I stand idly by? So I..."

Simmel decided to tell the truth, after all, so much time had passed, and even if there were pursuers, they would probably have given up long ago.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xin frowned slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.

After a long while, he slowly loosened his knuckles and gently exhaled.

This is his son. He was willing to hide it from his own parents in order to protect an innocent girl.

However, even so, the fact that they were raised for five years is undeniable.

Mr. Xin said in a deep voice, "Doesn't she have any family?"

“No,” Simmel shook her head.

"She didn't want to tell me, probably because she had a conflict with her family, or maybe something bad happened to her."

"I can't bring myself to say it."

Mr. Xin nodded, thoughtfully stroking the stubble on his chin, and glanced at Mrs. Xin. Their eyes met.

Orphaned and utterly alone, she still managed to forge such a deep bond with her son…

"Simmel, I'm giving you two choices."

Thinking of this, Xin's father straightened his posture.

After exchanging a glance with Xin's mother, he slowly extended two fingers and said solemnly:

"First, we will adopt her as our goddaughter, and from now on you will address each other as brother and sister."

“We don’t know exactly what your feelings for her are, but given the current situation, this is the safest approach.”

This would both legitimize Aura's identity and acknowledge Simmel's care over the past five years.

Even if someone comes looking for them and continues to pursue them, as a family, they can work together to fight the enemy.

Simmel frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Siblings? That's not unacceptable.

But what is the second option?

"Second..." Father Xin's tone became more serious as he spoke.

He slowly withdrew one finger, his gaze sharpening as he looked behind Simmel. His voice was soft, yet incredibly powerful:

"Awula, come out. The second option is for you to get married on a chosen date."

"Although this is a bit too early for a child, it is something that almost everyone will experience in the future."

"Rather than possibly dying on the way to defeat the Demon King, it's better... you know, Simmel, we won't interfere with your dreams."

"But I also don't want our family line to end because of your willfulness."

Xin's father also had his own selfish motives; he was first and foremost a father, and only secondly a person.

No father in the world wants to see his son die far from home.

So either Simmel leaves offspring before venturing out, or she stays home and doesn't go anywhere.

Xin Meier was stunned.

This……

Just as he was trying to defend himself, claiming that he would definitely return in triumph, Aura stepped out from behind him, looking completely bewildered.

No descendants? What does that mean?

She thought she was going to be kicked out of the house, so she prepared herself to take over the place.

But to my surprise... I was the one who was kept behind.

The condition for staying was that she had to marry this younger brother?

Aura glanced at Simmel and couldn't help but laugh when she saw his helpless expression.

It's not impossible, though. The demon race has a very weak concept of marriage; they simply live their own lives.

However, if one can obtain human identity and human protection through marriage, it's not necessarily a loss.

Thinking of this, she, as the eldest sister, spoke first:

"I unconditionally obey your decision."

“Simmel, your father is right, one should not be too willful.”

"To be honest, after all these years, I've fallen in love with you."

“So…” she smiled sweetly, her eyes curving into crescents, and the lie slipped out, “marry me.”

Upon hearing this, a relieved smile immediately appeared on Xin's father's face.

Girls are more sensible.

However, Aura looks to be only about fourteen years old this year, and was only nine years old five years ago...

Are they both so precocious?

Sigh, these young people nowadays...

Simmel stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Aura beside her, unsure how to respond.

His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but then he closed them again, his thoughts a jumbled mess, impossible to unravel.

What should I do if I get confessed to?

I need help urgently...

"Ahem." Mother Xin coughed lightly twice, sensing the subtle tension in the atmosphere, and timely provided Xinmeier with a way out.

"Ximmel, you can go down now. You're still young. As for marriage, at the latest, it should wait at least three years."

“Awula, girls should be more reserved. Until things are settled, you should move out of the basement and live with us.”

"Don't worry, we will protect you."

"The head of the household, isn't that right?"

“That’s right.” Father Xin flexed his arm, his muscles bulging instantly. “I will risk my old life to protect my future grandson.”

"At worst, I'll ask my friend for help; he's the number one warrior in the Northern Continent."

Upon hearing this, Simmel opened her mouth again, but could only sigh and let her shoulders slump down.

His parents had already said all that, so what could he do?
