Alex was following behind Kirsch as the puy led the way for him.

  Kirsch kept gng behind at Alex while walking in front and the tter's nont attitude issing him off for some reason.

  Since Kirsd Mimosa were cousins of Mereoleona, their father was Mereoleona's uncle so Alex didn't have to leave the Vermillioory.

  After walking for around ten mihey finally arrived at an house in another part of the Vermillioe.

  "Master Kirsch~"

  The servants and maids greeted Kirsch politely whicreased his arrogance as he acted dramatically in front of Alex. Aside from that they really gave a somewhat weird rea to Alex.

  Most of the maids blushed slightly at him while the man had annoyed or slightly puzzled expressions.

  Alex waved at the female maid while trying to avoid his urge to beat up the vice-captain of the Coral Peacocks.

  Finally, they arrived in front of a door. The servants standing at the front bowed down and opehe door.

  Kirsd Alex ehe room, only to find themselves in a luxurious living room.

  On the sofa sat a graceful figure. It was a woman in her mid-thirties with a voluptuous build. She had long silky bck hair and sparkly yellow eyes. She was wearing a simple gown with little accessories a even that could not diminish her royal aura.

  Alex stared at him and realized that the woman resembled Mimosa around 80%.

  "Ah, you finally brought uest, Kirsch."

  The aused and raised her head before she smiled gracefully and said.

  "Yes, Mom," Kirsch replied.

  The womaurned her head toward Alex and her eyes sparkled for a moment. She covered her mouth and giggled. "Hello there, please five me for calling you out of the blue. It's just I am very curious to meet the boy, my daughter talks so much about."

  Alex smiled and introduced himself. "Hello, Ma'am. I'm Asta."

  His tone of speech was her polite nant.

  "Are you sure you are not a noble? Maybe an ille- ah, sorry. I mean this face..." The woman giggled and said. She ged her tone in the middle.

  It was not her mistake since Alex's face was almost different from the inal Asta. Rather than being muscur, he was more ohletic side.

  He was tall and muscur with the right amount of muscles along his spiky ash-gray hair that reached the base of his neck. His usual smile had a kind of devilish charm to it.

  Alex raised an eyebrow and smirked as he plopped down on the sofa in front of her, sitting in a posture like it beloo him.

  "So, what do you want from me?"

  "Fufu... nothing. I just want to meet the man who is able to gain my daughter's favor." She replied. "Ah, and five me for my te introdus, My name is Emily Vermillion."

  Alex smiled, slightly amused. "Iing. And here I thought, it would be Mimosa's dad who would e looking for me."

  Hearing his words caused a slight ge in the rea of Emily's rea but she recovered quickly.

  Oher hand, Kirsch was displeased as he interjected. "You!..."

  *g*

  However before he could make a fuss, the door ushed open and Mimosa ehe room.

  "Asta!"

  Mimosa seemed slightly anxious but when she saw him sitting on the sofa, she heaved a sigh of relief and her eyes sparkled in joy. She quickly walked over to him and asked in .

  "Are you alright? Did someone do anything to you?"

  "Woah, woah, calm down~... Do you really think that someone here really do anything to me?" Alex chuckled and patted her head. He could feel her worry for him in her body nguage.

  'This cute girl~, since when did some mere jackals hunt a devil like him? It's more like if I had not done anything to them. Hehe...'

  "Fufu~, it seems my dear daughter really loves you, huh?" Emily spoke teasingly,

  "Mom~..." Mimosa shouted with her face beat red from embarrassment.

  They tiheir versation for around fifteen minutes...

  The butler ehe room and bowed politely. "Madam, the dinner is ready."

  "Oh my~... look at the time. It's already so te. Asta, since you are here, how about you join us for dionight?" Emily asked.

  Mimosa was excited and grabbed his hand, urging him with a puppy face. "Yes, Asta. Join us for dinner."

  Alex smiled and patted her head. "Alright. Lead the way."

  Mimosa held his hand and pulled him along.

  Emily and Kirsch led the way, walking in front.

  Kirsch was slightly displeased by her mother's a of inviting Alex to join them for dinner.

  The dinner was quite fun as Alex chatted with Emily and Mimosa at the dining table while teasing Kirsch, irritating the poor vice-captain of the Coral Peacocks.

  After the dinner finished, Alex nning to leave but Emily stopped him. She called him to the backyard, saying that there was something she wao discuss with him.

  Alex's curiosity was intrigued by how she put out her words and he followed her.

  In a small and cozy pavilion in the backyard, the figures were sitting across each other uhe moonlight.

  "So, what do you want to discuss?"

  After a momentary silence, Alex asked, getting straight to the point.

  Emily gazed at the moon's refle in the pond and asked. "Are you ied in marrying my daughter, Asta?"

  "Hmm, where did this e from?" Alex tilted his head and asked.

  Emily stared at his face for a brief moment and said. "My daughter has real feelings for you and I want the happiness of my daughter. After my husband died around a decade ago, my position in the family was not that great. The elders of the family have various thoughts on this topic. Since my son became the vice-captain of his squad, the pressure has reduced but I am aware that sooner or ter they will defiry to use my daughter as a bargaining chip to form es. The situation is dire after Fuegoleon goes into a a and my son is not strong enough to take care of the elders but you... you're different. You are a magiight a your strength rivals that of the magic captain or even the Wizard King. You might even bee a potential didate for that position so if you protect Mimosa then no one will be able to raise a question. And that's why..."

  "WAIT, wait, Hold On!" Alex raised his hand to stop her and smiled. "Look I uand your point but you are mistaken about something. I have no i in Vermillion's name and the position of the Wizard King. Even if Julius begs me, I will not agree to it..."
