Yes!
"Dad..."
Aisha looked up and said in a very admiring tone, "My brother is so amazing! He single-handedly defeated so many bad guys and rescued Aisha and Mom from them. My brother is Aisha's hero..."
Aisha began her story by secretly delivering a message for help on the main street of the Shirone Kingdom, then encountering her brother at a corner, and how her brother easily defeated all the soldiers.
Not only that...
Afterwards, the older brother went to the royal palace of the Shirone Kingdom all by himself and rescued their mother again.
Although Aisha is not yet four years old, her language and logic are very clear.
She described it so vividly that it made the listener feel as if they were there.
As Paul listened, the expression on his face quickly changed from shock to blankness, and from blankness to a kind of dazed state that was almost a questioning of life.
Does one person possess the power to rival an entire nation?
And afterwards... he escaped unscathed?
My son is so incredibly awesome, he's practically superhuman!
Just hearing it gave Paul an almost unreal feeling.
Seriously... could this guy really be Paul's son?
When Aisha noticed Paul's reaction, her expression seemed a little unhappy.
"Dad!"
" Aisha said is true... My brother is so amazing now! You can ask Mom if you don't believe me... And Dad... Aisha has a secret to tell you~"
She tiptoed and whispered in Paul's ear.
Aisha lowered her voice, her tone full of slyness, "My brother is the Sword King now!"
" Sword King???"
"What did you say?! Aisha, you said... Luo Ge is the Sword King?!"
Upon hearing this, Paul felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he found it even more unbelievable.
Sword King?
His son?
The child he always thought had died young, who fell in the Red Dragon Mountains six years ago?
Not only did he not die?
And he even transformed into the Sword King?
"... Aisha?"
"Is what she said true, Lilia...?"
Paul sobered up considerably and suddenly turned to look at Lilia, who had been standing beside him, as if seeking final confirmation.
"Yeah!"
"That's true, sir. Young Master Luo Ge is indeed still alive..."
When mentioning young master Luo Ge, Lilia couldn't help but show the same longing and admiration in her eyes as Aisha. " Aisha wasn't lying. Young master Luo Ge has not only grown up, but he's also become exceptionally outstanding."
As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to recall a scene, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She murmured, "Young Master Luo Ge has now become Sword King, just like Lord Ghislaine, and is much more powerful than you, Master."
"More skilled than me? Many more..."
Paul stared blankly, then muttered to himself as well.
If we consider that Aisha, a child, said those words, then her credibility was not very high.
When Lilia said those words, Paul was already pretty much convinced.
Faced with this sudden and shocking news.
Paul was utterly shocked; he stood there dumbfounded for a long time.
Throughout the entire process, not a single word was uttered.
It took Paul an unknown amount of time to recover from this state.
His second son Luo Ge, not only survived, but also rose to become the Demon Sword King, Three Kings...
In terms of both strength and fame, he has already reached one of the top tiers in this world, becoming someone even he must look up to.
"Etc,"
"I think I've overlooked something, right... Norn."
After glancing at his daughter Norn beside him, Paul suddenly seemed to remember something.
Then something came to mind.
That was more than half a year ago, about two months after the Teleportation Incident in the Fittoa Territory. At that time, I had only returned to Roa a few days earlier and witnessed the tragedy firsthand.
One day.
I went to the Adventurers' Guild to post a missing person notice, but I was too busy at the time to take care of Norn.
So he asked the House Boreas to take care of his daughter.
As a result, no sooner had I left than Norn got lost on his way home.
He was extremely anxious at that time.
But to Paul's surprise... Norn seemed to be quite lucky, as he was eventually rescued by a kind passerby.
afterwards.
He learned from Alphonse, the steward of the House Boreas, that the person who saved his daughter Norn was actually the famous figure from the northern Central Continent.
That Demon Sword King who rivals Ghislaine in skill, one of only two Sword King in the world, and whose fame even slightly surpasses Ghislaine's.
Luo Ge...
The name left behind by that Demon Sword King was also Luo Ge.
At first, Paul thought it was just a coincidence, after all, there are many people in the world with the same name.
But nowadays...
As all the clues quickly connected and he gradually recalled them, an answer that seemed inevitable suddenly appeared before Paul.
The young Sword King, the Demon Sword King, and the Three Kings who saved Norn were actually Paul's biological sons.
Luo Ge Greyrat.
"... Luo Ge."
Paul suppressed his excitement, suddenly looked up, and glanced around.
" Lilia... Luo Ge... Where is Luo Ge?!"
"Tell me!"
"Tell me quickly, where is he?!"
Paul's excited gaze swept around the surrounding area, then looked at the crowd at the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild, but he didn't see Luo Ge.
He was disappointed.
This made Paul instinctively put his hand to his chest, and a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in his heart.
Even though they had already learned from Lilia and Aisha that Luo Ge was still alive.
But if you don't see anyone.
It always made him somewhat uneasy, and he felt uneasy. He was afraid that this was all a dream, and that when he woke up, Luo Ge would never come back.
However, at this moment, Lilia spoke up.
"Please rest assured, sir, young master Luo Ge is fine."
"Since everything's alright... why doesn't that brat Luo Ge want to see me? Is it because I made a mistake that all men make, and he found out... does Luo Ge hate me now?"
"That's true..."
"That kid Luo Ge has disliked me since I was little, thinking I'm lecherous and incompetent. I... this incompetent father doesn't deserve to be the father of such a genius."
As soon as Paul finished speaking, Aisha immediately became anxious. "Dad! That's not true, you've misunderstood my brother."
" Aisha?"
"Dad, of course my brother misses you very much, but his next plan is to go to the Demon Continent alone. He didn't want you to worry, so he left without saying goodbye..."
"Yeah?"
"I see?"
"Truly worthy of being my son, Paul! So daring, daring to cross the ocean to a place like the Demon Continent all by himself."
After saying this, Paul turned to look at Lilia was standing to the side.
" Lilia."
"I want to hear the truth. Please tell me... if I go after them now, is it too late?"
"There's still time... Young Master Luo Ge shouldn't have gone far by now."
"That's wonderful."
Paul clenched his fist and couldn't help but cheer with joy.
Then, he did something that Lilia and her two daughters never expected.
"Huh?!"
"Sir, what are you planning to do?"
" Lilia, I'm leaving Norn and Aisha in your care for now. This time, I won't let that brat get away so easily."
"Don't try to solve problems alone. Family is only family when everyone is together."
"You stupid son..."
"Dad's here!"
After quickly finishing that sentence, Paul, brimming with energy, instantly seemed to come back to life.
After handing Norn over to Lilia to hold and care for, he jumped directly into the carriage.
The reins were severed with a single sword stroke.
Paul rode off in pursuit.
Lilia watched as Paul mounted his horse, spurred it on, and chased after Paul out of the city, a look of satisfaction creeping into her eyes.
This is the real Paul! The Paul he's always admired. He just hopes Paul can catch up with Young Master Luo Ge quickly this time.
at the same time.
The capital of the Holy Country of Millis, Milishion, is located on a hillside outside the city, offering a panoramic view of all the buildings, large and small, both inside and outside the city.
The sky had completely darkened.
The sun had already set by then.
Night fell, the surroundings were quiet and deserted, and the night was still... The evening breeze blew from afar, gradually brushing against the two figures standing side by side on the grassy slope.
The boy was Luo Ge, and the girl standing beside him was Nanahoshi.
The sky has the moon and twinkling stars.
"... Luo Ge."
Nanahoshi crossed her arms, glanced at the boy beside her, and asked in confusion, "Speaking of which... you... you really don't plan to go back and take one last look? Just one last look..."
"After all, leaving like this isn't really right, is it? Your family will worry, won't they? Maybe... it will be many years before you come back."
"Actually, you can see it just as easily from here," Luo Ge casually replied to Nanahoshi.
His deep gaze had been fixed on the city of Milishion from the very beginning.
To date.
Luo Ge's gaze never left him for even half a minute.
Looking down from here, the view is expansive and the angle is superb.
He could see the entire city's outline at a glance, including the streets, houses, squares, and even the large open space in front of the Adventurers' Guild where carriages were parked.
Luo Ge saw everything.
When he saw Lilia, Aisha, and Paul reunited, the family finally gathered together and smiled.
He finally felt at ease.
When family members are reunited, all that matters is seeing them happy and joyful together.
As for whether he would be happy... happy or unhappy... Luo Ge always excluded himself; he never considered that for himself.
If Lilia and Aisha were to reunite with Paul, Paul would probably already know that he is still alive, right?
Then he probably won't worry about himself anymore.
Actually, it's fine like this...
As long as his family was alright and he saw the happy smiles on their faces, Luo Ge was content.
"Hehe, your eyesight is really good, you can see even in this dark..."
"Unlike me, I can't see a single thing."
Nanahoshi was still muttering to himself beside him.
Suddenly, Nanahoshi glanced at Luo Ge and began to mutter under her breath, "Seriously... you say that... but what should I say about someone like you?"
"Sigh, to put it bluntly, it's just that you're too proud to admit it and suffer for it. I bet you don't really want to go, but you simply don't know how to handle that touching scene, right? You're such a tsundere..."
Luo Ge's smile faltered for a moment, then he turned and warned her, "Hey, what are you muttering to yourself about?"
"Uh, no, it's nothing..."
Nanahoshi looked away, his face filled with a guilty expression.
Luo Ge suddenly looked away from Nanahoshi, glancing one last time in the direction of the city.
Not long after.
He turned around, preparing to walk towards the other side of the hillside, which led to the forest on the Holy Sword Highway.
Since that's the case.
So what's next...?
He should now set off for the Demon Continent to continue his search for his family.
However, just as he and Nanahoshi were about to leave, they suddenly heard the sound of rapid hoofbeats coming from the hillside behind them.
Then, the sound of hooves disappeared.
Instead, there were hurried footsteps and a man's voice, choked with sobs and filled with grievance, coming from behind Luo Ge.
"Hmm... Luo Ge."
