Moments later, the food and drink they ordered had already come. They ate and started their conversation.
"Now, tell me the truth about your engagement rumors" Julian said with a drink.
"I'll explain briefly and clearly because I feel indignant if I remember that back." Karina frowned.
"Sure, make yourself comfortable." Julian nodded.
"From the beginning when I just returned from the City of Caver to the Capital..."
...----------------...
It turns out that when Karina returned to Crosa City, she got news from her family that Karina's grandfather was sick and she did not know what the disease was because suddenly.
Because they do not know what the disease is, they certainly do not know how to cure it.
It just so happened that the Malone family came to us at that time and said that they had something that could cure Karina's grandfather's illness.
And that was the Heart Sea Serpent. They said that they knew about when the Sea Serpent appeared.
Like a savior straw, the Largus Family was of course happy with the news and willing to buy the Heart Sea Serpent at any cost.
But what the Malone Family wanted was not money, they wanted Karina and Bruno, the eldest son, to get married and they would make sure that they would kill the Sea Serpent.
When Karina's parents hesitated, Karina's grandfather refused firmly. He will not let his grandson's happiness be taken away by a marriage he does not want.
However, how could Karina bear to see her ailing grandfather? He accepted the Malone Family's offer and was willing to marry Bruno.
...----------------...
"Malone's family?" Julian narrowed his eyes and let out a dangerous breath.
"Why? Do you have a problem with them?" Karina asked worriedly as she felt Julian's dangerous breath.
"They sent assassins to kill me, well, even though it didn't work because the killer was too weak." Julian took back his dangerous breath and replied.
"What's!? Why do they do that!?" Karina hit the table in anger.
Julian then tells the reason why the Malone Family sent assassins to kill Julian and the others.
"Hm, so they're on high alert because of the arrival of someone who's welcomed by the Mollon Family." Karina squinted her eyes.
"Yes. Then, three more questions. First, was it three days ago on the city street, were you there? There's a woman who looks like you but I don't think it's you."
"Secondly, what's the reason you're wearing a magic item that changes your odor that makes you undetectable?"
"Three, are you going to Coramon City alone? I don't see any bodyguards or servants next to you."
Julian instantly asked Karina three questions in a row and Karina listened quietly and waited for Julian to finish.
"I'll answer it. First, it wasn't me. It was a waitress arranged by Bruno to go to an event because I refused to go with her."
"Secondly, I used it so that the Malone Family would not detect me because I was currently running from their hands."
"Three, no, I'm not alone. There were bodyguards and servants yet they were all in the Malone Family Mansion."
Karina nodded after hearing the three questions Julian asked and she answered the three questions honestly without hiding anything.
"Ah, now I understand. So you ran to the auction to buy the Heart Sea Serpent because you knew that the Malone Family failed to kill the Sea Serpent" Julian said.
"Yes, like that." Karina nodded.
"Then did you know that the Malone Family had a plan to revolt?" ask Julian.
"What's!? The rebellion!? I didn't know that!" Karina hit the table again.
"Yes, like this." Julian told Karina everything about the three-party plot to revolt.
"Damn it, so they teamed up with Demon King Boldax." Karina gritted her teeth from being too angry.
"Yes, and I need your help." Julian looked at Karina.
"The Largus family is the Duke, right? And your family is being played by the Malone Family. I'll unpack all their plans."
"I need the Largus family to deliver the news of the rebellion to the king" Julian said.
"just that? Don't you need an army?" Karina tilted her head.
"No, I alone was enough because Demon King Boldax couldn't possibly come here just for the sake of humans. The Largus will do the thing behind the scenes." Julian shook his head.
"Hm, okay." Karina agrees with Julian's plan.
"But!" Julian looked seriously at Karina to the point of making her nervous.
"But don't tell me I did it all. Don't even have my name reported to the king." Julian smiling.
"Huh? I'm definitely not gonna let that happen. If this works, you could be said to be the hero of Coramon City and would get many gifts from the king." Karina shook her head.
"Hey, I just want to live freely. I don't want to get involved with the king. Maybe I'll get involved, but not now." Julian shrugged his shoulders.
"You're this..." Karina was silent and did not know what to say anymore.
They continue to eat their food that has not run out and change the topic into lighter things.
Then they return to Mollon Mansion, Julian invites Karina because there is no way Karina will return to Malone Mansion.
"Julian, tell me. Do you have a special relationship with Miss Karina?" Damian shrugged Julian's shoulder and whispered.
"Yes, I'm her lover." Julian nodded seriously but replied with a joke.
Damian blinked his eyes as he did not expect Julian to answer like that. He then approached Karina who was chatting with the Inca and asked the same question.
"Hm? Yeah, she's my girlfriend." Karina smiled and replied like Julian.
"..." - ".Damian opened his mouth wanting to say something but he could not make his voice.
...----------------...
"Uncle! Did uncle just date Karina's sister?" Ethan approaches Julian who is relaxing and asks a question that leaves Julian speechless.
"Wait a minute Ethan, how do you know the word dating?" Julian patted the sofa next to him.
"From Brother Nimi!" Ethan climbed up onto the sofa and replied with vigor.
"Basar Nimi," Julian's inner.
"Uncle didn't date Karin's sister, we just ate together." Julian smiled and stroked Ethan's head.
"Eh? But you also said that a man and a woman have dinner together other than at home, it's called a date." Ethan tilted his head.
And it just so happened that the Inca were taking drinks and snacks past them and heard Ethan say.
"Damians! What have you told our son!" The Inca gives Julian a tray of drinks and snacks and runs towards Damian.
Damian, who was relaxing, was surprised to hear the screams of the Inca and his ears were pulled by the Inca.
"Ethan is 5 years old! Why did you tell him things about men and women!" Inca nagged Damian while pulling her ears.
"Ah? When did I tell Ethan that?" Damian doesn't admit wrong and pretends not to know.
"I remember! Dad told me when Mom was sick!" Ethan raised his hand.
"When I was sick? That means it was still 2 months ago!" Inka was upset with Damian.
"Yah!! Forgive me!" Damian asks Inca for forgiveness.
"Ethan, take this." Julian gave Ethan a snack.
"Well! Thank you, Uncle!" Ethan ate the snack.
Then the whole room laughed out loud at the Inca who was nagging Damian and Damian who looked resigned.
