"Cliff~What are you looking at?"
"Elinalise... you're awake"
"Hmm~"
"I'm looking at some information about Holy Country of Millis. The country is not very stable."
Elinalise hugged me from behind and blew gently in my ear
"Well, you're not in a hurry, are you? Don't you want to extend your graduation by half a year?"
"Yeah... that was the original plan."
Saying that, I took out the envelope
This is a letter from my grandfather. It is full of care...
It should be like this, believable in the end, I can see it
Grandfather wants me to go back
"Elinalise, you may have to go back Holy Country of Millis in advance..."
"Well, I'll wait for you here, right?"
"No, I want to take you back. All my accumulation and practice have been for this moment. I am confident that I can stand out in Millis's struggle for power."
"Cliff..."
"Elinalise, I'm sorry. We have done everything we should do in the past two years, but I didn't hold a decent wedding..."
I wanted to say something more, but my lips were already blocked by Elinalise
After the passionate kiss, she gasped and said:
"Cliff, my love, I know what you are considering... I actually don't need a status..."
"How can this be possible! I love you, Elinalise, Millis, your blessing to us is absolute."
"But... it's very dangerous... I also know Millis Church's style of doing things. They will definitely use me to threaten you... I don't want to drag you down."
"Don't worry, I have a solution."
The so-called solution is naturally to ask for help.
I've heard many things about Rudeus. Greyrat
Asura Kingdom, Ranoa Kingdom and even Holy Country of Millis, they all have energy
I need his help, not necessarily his help, just his name is enough
After making this decision, I came to the door of Rudeus. Greyrat's house based on the information I obtained.
Speaking of which... I got to know Elinalise because of him, but now I still want to ask him for help...
I really...
Raising his hand, he knocked on the door
"Coming, coming~"
The person who opened the door was Long-Ear Race with green hair.
I know her, she is one of the wives of Sylphiette. Greyrat, Rudeus
It is said that Ranoa Kingdom and Asura Kingdom are now less prejudiced against green hair.
And the initiator of all this is Rudeus. Greyrat
"Hello?"
"Hello, my name is Cliff. Grimoire. Is Rudeus here?"
"What do you want from my husband?"
"Well, I want to ask him for help with something..."
Sylphiette smiled softly and led me through the door
As soon as I entered, I saw a petite woman with blue hair holding a baby girl with red hair.
She hurriedly comforted the child who seemed about to cry at any time, with a look of panic on her face.
This should be Roxy·Miglodia·Greyrat
By the way...Rudeus already has a child...
I'm ashamed to say it, Elinalise has also always wanted a child
But my idea is to get another one after I have completely stabilized my position, so I have taken some protective measures.
"Rudeus~A person named Cliff is looking for you"
Sylphiette called towards the bathroom, and then said to me
"Wait a moment, he is washing Eris's hair. You can sit down as you like."
"Okay"
Rudeus. Greyrat
As the rumors say, he is a somewhat scary man.
By the way...
Eris. Greyrat
Sylphiette. Greyrat
Roxy·Miglodia·Greyrat
Hmm...?
Isn't it said that the four rings of different colors on the left hand represent the four wives?
Why did I only see three...
"Cliff, can I call you that?"
Rudeus said, sitting on the sofa opposite me
"Hmm"
"You can also just call me Rudeus. The last time we met was at my wedding."
"Yes"
"Excuse me, why are you here this time?"
I'm not Rudeus's friend
It was just a priest who met by chance and helped him recite the declaration.
But...
"Rudeus, I need your help!"
I stood up, lowered my head, and bowed
After getting no reply for the past few seconds, I looked up
"Let's first tell you why you need help?"
I told him about Holy Country of Millis and my identity
It also explains the curse of Elinalise and the problem of her Long-Ear Race bloodline
Rudeus listened to the whole process without interrupting once
After I finished speaking, Rudeus spoke
"To put it simply, you don't need me to come forward, right?"
"Yes, you don't need to come forward"
After I answered, Rudeus closed his eyes and thought for a while and said
"What you said earlier moved me very much."
"Huh?"
"Responsibility, because of your responsibility, you want to win this power struggle of Holy Country of Millis, and then hold the wedding."
"Yes, I want to give Elinalise status, and I also want to have a child after marriage..."
"Why don't you let that... uh..."
"Elinalise"
"Yes, Elinalise, why not let her ask my father? As long as she opens her mouth to ask my father, and then my father asks me again, it will be difficult for me to refuse."
I understand what Rudeus means
During the conversation, I gradually realized
Rudeus and I are the same kind of people
If that's the case, isn't it obvious what to say?
Just say what I want to say, that's enough
"This is... my responsibility. There is no need for Elinalise to ask anyone. As his man, I will handle it all."
After I said this, Rudeus smiled
Then he stretched out his hand
Without hesitation, I stretched out my hand and shook it tightly.
"Cliff, I think... we get along very well."
"I think so too, Rudeus"
"If it's just a name, feel free to use it, although I don't think it's worth mentioning at all."
"Thank you! Rudeus! When I win, I will spread the word on Holy Country of Millis that green hair is not a curse."
"Okay, do you want to stay for a meal?"
"No need, we must have a good dinner together next time."
In this way, I got help from Rudeus
