Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Old White nodded, acknowledging Kael's words.

Every one of the continent's dominions, nearly each of them, once faced the fierce onslaught of remnants from the old era.

Only through rising amidst conflict could the Yibel Federation, or rather, Humans, truly grasp the potential of the Human Era.

Everyone was looking forward to such a day, so no one wished to remain forever under the shadow of the Holy Briania.

The Holy Briania wanted war, and the Federation... felt the same, it's just that they weren't ready yet.

"Ever since Lancaster's condition improved, I've been dealing with some details of the territory whenever you mentioned this matter.

Should war break out, I will ensure Lancaster is in its best state to meet the challenge.

The formal maids of the Shadow Garden are aware of this matter.

But young master, aside from that, have you considered another issue?"

"Hmm, what issue, let's hear it?"

"During times of war, reproduction is a very difficult matter, you may not even be in the mood for it.

If you are mentally prepared, then hunt down a good number of the women you fancy or those who fancy you!

It's time for the Helois household to welcome a lady of the house, and I'm always worried Miss Elanna might overthink things since you have been delaying the engagement party custom.

I wonder what you think about this; if we continue to delay, there might start to be unfavorable rumors about Miss Elanna in the Royal Capital."

"They dare?!"

"Rumors might not immediately draw blood like weapons, but they can certainly kill, especially now that your identity is becoming more and more special, and the attention focused on Miss Elanna will become increasingly lethal."

"…You're right, Grandpa White, perhaps I should indeed start fulfilling my duties as a fiancé."

Kael was never the kind to hesitate and he knew the reason he hadn't held an engagement party yet, maintaining only a formal exchange, wasn't due to a lack of willingness to take responsibility, but merely because the part of his memory as Ning Pingle wasn't quite ready to accept this.

After all, back in the Human Federation, he was still too young to even think about marriage, having only just come of age not too long ago.

The thought of entering the domain of marriage so swiftly, well, always felt a tad strange.

And so, by dragging his feet, Kael had inadvertently neglected the matter.

But now that Old White brought it up again, Kael, after some reflection, decided to place this issue high on his agenda.

Seeing Kael agree so readily, a gratified smile involuntarily spread across Old White's normally stern face.

From the old Family Head to Family Head Anthony, down to the young master… Time had indeed flown by so swiftly.

He said softly with a laugh, "Considering the Bartlet Monarch will be visiting the Lancaster Territory soon, why not seize this opportunity and invite Miss Elanna to join you in welcoming the Magic Monarch together?

It would be Miss Elanna's first official appearance as your fiancée, accompanying you to receive one of the Federation's dignitaries.

Once the news is out, those whispering in the corners won't dare make much noise.

After attending to the Bartlet Monarch during the day, you could spare some time in the evening to invite Miss Elanna to a private meeting on the castle's rooftop.

We will spread roses on the ground of the Sky Garden in advance, and the children from the Shadow Garden will arrange the best fireworks the market has to offer."

"Spending time under the moonlight, dancing and admiring flowers, discussing the future with Miss Elanna, and strategizing—having someone you can share your innermost feelings with is also a good choice for the challenges you're about to face."

Kael nodded again, agreeing with Old White's taste.

After a moment of dullness, Kael suddenly said with a nuanced expression,

"Grandpa White, this routine of yours must have been quite effective with the girls back in the day."

This sudden remark somewhat broke through Old White's composure.

He clenched his right hand, covered his mouth, and coughed softly before saying,

"Let's just say it happened only once, with Sheri's mother."

"Sheri?"

"Cough, cough. The rare resource 'Shiva's Tear' you used when you were consolidating your ice elemental constitution came from Sheri's mother."

"Ssss..."

As soon as Old White mentioned this, Kael immediately remembered.

Back when he was consolidating his expertise, Lancaster was not as wealthy as it is now, so many precious resources had to be obtained by sending people out to gather them.

At that time, Uncle Barry had traveled a great distance to a village inhabited by Shiva, securing a key material for consolidating his expertise, and he even nearly got injured by the Shiva in the process.

Thinking of this, Kael sighed.

"Grandpa White, if you ask me, you should just try to see if you can bring them back. Uncle Barry didn't spend much time when he went for the Shiva's Tear.

That means the village of the Shiva can't be too far from us in Lancaster. You wouldn't want to wait until war breaks out to hastily relocate them, would you? If anything goes wrong in the process...

You may not be able to withstand the blow of losing your daughter when the time comes."

Old White's eyebrows twitched, feeling as if he had fallen into a trap carefully set by his young master.

Just a minute ago, he had been urging the young master to hurry and determine the other half of his life. After the young master won their debate, he started to press Old White about marriage in reverse.

What was going on here!

Old White didn't know what to say for a moment, but one thing was certain...

After hearing Kael's words, he was truly shaken.

For years, due to the many formidable enemies always around Kael, he had not been able to spare enough time to visit Shiva Village to see that lovely woman and their child.

Now that Kael had brought it up promptly, and considering the potentially worsening situation in the future, he finally made the right decision.

"We'll wait a bit longer, until the Bartlet Monarch arrives. Then, depending on the situation, I'll see if I need to take a trip to Shiva Village."

Kael nodded and then said with a smile, "Actually, you don't need to worry so much. Don't forget that I'm now of Holy Land status, too. If it really comes down to it, I can just use the Divine Favored."
