Chapter 42: Late Night Talk

Late at night, inside a luxurious bedroom. A beautiful woman could be seen sitting in front of a large mirror wearing a purple nightgown and gently combing her silvery blue hair.

Behind her, on a king-sized bed, a handsome black-haired man was sitting, watching her actions tenderly. But as they continued talking about something, his gray eyes flickered in astonishment and he asked. "Is that true?"

"Do you think I'll lie to you?" The woman seemed annoyed by the man's question.

"No, no. I didn't mean it like that, Lumine. It's just I never expected you guys would encounter such things on a simple dungeon run." He immediately clarified, afraid of angering his wife.

This person was none other than Ronald. Just now, Lumine told him all her experiences of the day. Ronald, who went out because of the guild's matters, didn't expect something this big to occur.

But fortunately, everyone was safe.

"You were too reckless. You shouldn't have allowed Luis to enter without proper preparations." Ronald said in a reprimanding tone. But he didn't blame her that much. He knew this was an important step for Luis' growth. If he protected Luis from all the dangers, he would never grow.

But he was still worried about them so he couldn't help himself. Lumine understood Ronald's feelings, so she quietly listened and didn't argue.

To be honest, she also felt it was rather reckless of her. If Luis hadn't completed the test, he might have died and she couldn't have done anything.

She couldn't bear the thought of losing her son. This time she had learned her lesson, and she thought of something to safeguard Luis. 'I should find some protection artifacts for him.'

"Even you weren't able to break the barrier? I can't imagine how strong the strength of the Ghost King would have been." Ronald said with a hint of curiosity.

"I didn't expect Luis to be interested in old legends, and he even managed to find a legacy," Ronald said with a thoughtful expression. Then shrugged and continued, "Doesn't matter. As long as he is alright, everything is fine."

"Do you know about the Ghost King and his legacy?" Lumine asked.

Shaking his head in denial, Ronald replied. "No." Then he continued, "The forbidden records of the church are confidential information hidden from the public. It is something they try to hide from the outsiders."

"Though if I try to pressure them. It won't be difficult to get access."

Ronald's words made Lumine puzzled as she questioned, "Then how did Luis get his hands on them?"

Yes, how did Luis get access to those records? If he tried to use the family's status to get access from the church, Ronald would have known about this matter. This made her wonder what means Luis used.

Remembering something, she once again opened her mouth to ask.

"By the way, do you know if Luis had a special relationship with any girl before Alicia?"

This question was unexpected by Ronald.

"Why do you say so?"

Lumine hesitated but finally said, "He is too good at handling Alicia. He seems used to handling girls."

"Oh that, you think too much." Ronald dismissed Lumine's thoughts and, with a smug grin, he continued, "Isn't that obvious? He is my son. Of course, he is good at handling women."

When Lumine heard Ronald's narcissistic words, a tick appeared on her forehead. She was annoyed, but instead of rebutting, her lips curled up and a playful smirk appeared on her beautiful face.

"Is that so?"

"Of course." He replied instantly.

Lumine wiggled and stood on her knees. She pressed him on the bed and climbed on top of him.

"In that case." Saying that, she mischievously licked her lips.

Ronald suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart and, sure enough, the next moment he heard her continue.

"You shouldn't have any trouble handling me tonight?"

"I... I..." Ronald wanted to say something, but Lumine put her delicate-looking finger on his lips and said in a provoking tone.

"Are you going to back down now?"

What can he do? Both of them are S-rank but who asked him, a mage, to fight against his swordswoman wife in a physical battle?

*Ugh*

Ronald gritted his teeth and decided to fight hard. That entire night, even with a powerful Overlord rank physique, he fought a tough battle that drained him dry.
