Askari's Ghostly Idea
"Roland?"
Upon seeing the figure that suddenly appeared before her, Meluria's eyes lit up, and her clear voice rang out.
Then she saw Askari standing gracefully beside him. Her pretty face froze slightly. Askari's face gave her a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
Squinting, Meluria faced Roland like an old friend she hadn't seen in years, and teased, "You've finally come all these years! I thought you'd forgotten about your friend!"
"Is this lady next to you your wife? She's a very beautiful woman."
Meluria gazed at Askari's beautiful face.
This must be the Saiyan Queen from another universe; she's truly an unfathomable woman.
No wonder Roland couldn't forget her.
Meluria couldn't see through Askari. Although Ascari was standing right in front of her, she seemed to be shrouded in a mist, her aura hidden and unfathomable.
Wife?
Roland was stunned by Meluria's words, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated. He looked at Askari and found her also lost in thought.
He then realized that Meluria had misunderstood his relationship with Askari. Indeed, he and Askari had brought a child with them, and the sight of them together could easily lead to misunderstandings. Roland said, "Meluria, you've misunderstood. My wife didn't come with me."
"Isn't this your wife? Look, she even has a child now."
Meluria frowned slightly.
Roland laughed heartily, "Of course not. Let me introduce you. This lady next to me is my daughter, Askari, the Saiyan princess of Universe 7. The child she's holding has nothing to do with me, but she does have something to do with you; she's your sister's daughter."
"Hello, my name is Askari."
Askari puffed out her chest, displaying the majesty of Saiyan princess.
His eyes simultaneously scanned the beautifully dressed woman before him. This was the Saiyan Queen of Universe 6, with long black hair, a slender figure, a smart outfit, and two long, fair legs. Hmm, quite a pretty woman, somewhat resembling her mother, Sephiria.
"Of course, it has its own unique charm," Askari thought smugly, pouting her little lips.
"Princess Askari..."
Upon hearing Askari's introduction, Meluria exclaimed "Ah!" realizing she had misunderstood. Then, her eyes widened in disbelief as she pointed at Alice, who was being held by Askari, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Is this child my sister's?"
"Yes, she is the child of Melutis and a Saiyan named Broly from my territory."
"Broly ... I remember now, he's the one who destroyed the Space Demon race!" Old memories surfaced in her mind, Meluria's expression suddenly turned somewhat displeased. It was because her sister Melutis suddenly abandoned everything and ran away with a man back then.
It nearly brought disaster to the Planet Sadala.
"My sister is really something. She left so easily, leaving me with nothing. She has no sense of responsibility at all," Meluria muttered, her face full of displeasure. But when she faced her niece Alice, her face was full of smiles.
"Alice, I'm your aunt."
Meluria moved closer to Alice and reached out to stroke her head.
Alice looked at Meluria and obediently called out, "Auntie."
"Ah, what a good child."
The sound of "Auntie "Meluria with joy, and a smile instantly bloomed on her flawless face. She pulled Alice into her arms, feeling a Bloodline sense of kinship.
How old is Alice this year?
"I'm three and a half years old," Alice replied, tilting her head back.
"Then my sister got pregnant not long after she left!" Meluria exclaimed in surprise. She didn't know that Melutis was already pregnant before heading to Universe 7, otherwise she would have been even more surprised.
"That's right, Melutis is very fast."
Roland nodded in agreement.
Thinking back to their second meeting, when Melutis was already pregnant, he realized that when a woman gets serious, she's capable of anything. Broly was really exploited by her during that time; if he didn't have a strong body, an ordinary person wouldn't have been able to endure it.
"How is she doing in Universe 7?"
"You're doing very well, and your strength has improved significantly. By the way, your older sister is already Super Saiyan, and her status among the Saiyan of Universe 7 is second only to Sephiria. As for Alice, she became our little princess after she was born."
Hearing that Melutis was doing well in another universe, Meluria breathed a sigh of relief. "Super Saiyan, huh? I've worked so hard for so long and only just scratched the surface."
"You've already reached the Super Saiyan level?"
Roland raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Well, I've made some progress, but I still can't transform at will." Meluria looked somewhat worried when talking about her situation.
But now things are better; Roland is here, and she can ask him for advice again.
Thinking about it this way, Meluria's mood immediately brightened up.
"That's the Initial Super Saiyan. Every Super Saiyan needs to go through this process. With more training, you can master the transformation technique," Askari interjected.
"Is Princess Askari also Super Saiyan?"
"I could transform into Super Saiyan when I was very young," Askari said with a smug smile.
Meluria's eyes widened in admiration, but then she realized that she had been so engrossed in chatting that she hadn't properly entertained them, and she felt a little rude.
"Ah, sorry, I was so busy talking that I forgot to entertain you..."
Meluria apologized repeatedly, then waved for several guards to come.
"Lursa, give the order to have the palace chefs prepare the most sumptuous meal. I want to host a banquet for some distinguished guests in the Royal Palace."
"Yes, sir!"
The guard Lursa walked over and was somewhat surprised when he saw Roland. He recognized the man in front of him as the one who had helped the Planet Sadala eliminate the invaders Dunaru five years ago, and immediately accepted the order with a respectful expression.
"Roland, Princess Askari, Alice, now that you're here, make yourself at home! Don't be shy!"
"I'm very familiar with this place," Roland said with a smile.
"Yes, you lived here for a few months."
Meluria smiled gently, as if chatting with an old friend, "You've come at just the right time. In a few days, it will be the royal family's triennial selection competition, where all the younger generation will compete on the same stage. You have good judgment, so I hope you can step forward and give us some pointers."
"Royal Tournament? I've never seen one before."
Roland readily agreed.
The royal family of the Planet Sadala lives in the Royal Palace and receives the best care on a daily basis. Their task is to improve their strength and compete constantly, so that the previous king can choose a suitable person from among them as his successor.
Competitions like the Royal Tournament are held every three years, and scores are given based on individual performance. Winners can gain significant points on the competitive leaderboard.
In contrast, the Saiyan royal family of Universe 7 consists of only a handful of people, whose positions are basically predetermined, and they lack the resources to hold selection competitions.
In the stillness of the night, cicadas chirp in the middle of the night.
The pure white moonlight, like a light veil, gently fell from the night sky.
After the banquet, Meluria chatted with Roland and the others for a long time. Then, with the help of the waiters, Roland and Askari settled into their Autonomous State the Royal Palace, while Alice was taken away by Meluria to get closer to her.
On the Royal Palace balcony, Askari crossed her arms and looked down at the royal Saiyan were still training in the plaza.
These royal Saiyan lived in the Royal Palace from a young age, and their mission was to improve their strength.
With light, fluttering footsteps, Roland also walked onto the balcony.
Askari's eyes suddenly lit up, a sly smile appearing on her face. She took Roland's arm with her slender little hand and whispered, "Daddy, that Queen Meluria seems to have a good impression of you. Why don't you consider taking her in? I wouldn't mind having another stepmother."
Roland laughed and scolded, "Don't worry about it. If Sephiria finds out, you'll be in trouble."
Askari pouted, "I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it, they're both Saiyan Queen. Universe 6 and Universe 7 are symmetrical universes, so it's easy for similar characters to appear between them. Maybe Queen Meluria is connected to Mom!"
"It's just similar," Roland said.
"I don't think it's that simple. Meluria is the 'Sephiria' of Universe 6," Askari said thoughtfully.
