Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate-Chapter 527 What Do You Think Of My Granddaughter? [Part 1]

"Grandpa, you called for me?" Cai asked as soon as she stepped foot into her Grandpa's workshop.

Cai obeyed and sat in front of her Grandpa.

Cai's long, light-brown hair was adorned by simple accessories, and even though she wasn't wearing any makeup, her beauty was enough to rival Iris', who was considered the most beautiful young lady in Barbatos Academy.

In truth, Cai was a very shy person. Aside from her family, she would only show her true form during special occasions in the Rowan Tribe, especially when they needed to make an offering to the Gods.

Cai might be able to stay in her Boar Form for long periods of time, but she still needed to return to her Human form every now and then to allow her transformation ability to reset.

This was why whenever she was alone, or in a place that she deemed safe enough, she would return to her Human form in order to ensure that her transformation wouldn't be undone by accident.

A minute later, Maximilian pulled his finger back and sighed.

Cai nodded. "I know, Grandpa. Don't worry. I promise that I will be careful."

Her transformation was a way to hide her Special Body Constitution from the world. Those who sought to gain power using any means necessary would jump at the opportunity to kidnap her from the Rowan Tribe and use her to achieve their goals.

This was something that Maximilian wouldn't allow to happen, so he gave Cai several Life Saving artifacts that would protect her in case her secret was exposed.

"Cai, what do you think of Lux?" Maximilian asked.

"Oh? You think of him as a trustworthy person?"

Maximilian rubbed his chin before nodding his head. f𝑟e𝙚𝒘𝗲𝚋𝚗oѵ𝘦𝙡. c𝒐m

Cai frowned after hearing her Grandpa's words.

"And why?" Maximilian asked with an amused expression on his face.

"As a High Priestess, I can somewhat see that he is walking on an unpaved path filled with thorns. Gramps, you already know that my Body Constitution is enough to bring calamity upon the Rowan Tribe. If Lux becomes my fiance, his already difficult path would just become more difficult. I don't want to burden people with my curse."

"It is not a curse, Cai," Maximilian stated. "It simply means that the heavens have given you a heavy responsibility. Since you cannot carry its weight alone, you will need someone who will support you along the way. Besides…"

"Lux has already seen you naked twice," Maximilian said. "Didn't you tell me in the past that the first person who saw you naked, aside from our family, would become your future husband?"

Maximilian chuckled after seeing how defensive his granddaughter had become.

"I like him as a friend. I can even think of him as a very close friend, but I have already decided that I will not marry in this lifetime. I don't want to give my husband unnecessary worries."

For that to happen, he needed a man, a strong man that would be able to protect and support her, keeping her safe from those who coveted her body. Because of this, Maximilian decided to give Cai one last push.

"Of course, I like her," Cai replied in a heartbeat. "If I was a man, I would definitely marry her."

Cai's face blushed after she finished hearing her Grandpa's full explanation.

"Gramps, I can't." Cai sighed. "I want to, but I can't."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to force you to do anything," Maximilian stated. "Just think about it for now, okay? Also, if you see any potential fiance candidate in the future, don't hesitate to tell me about it."

"You're still young. Perhaps you will change your mind in a year or two. Don't worry. Whatever decision you make, the Rowan Tribe will always be behind your back."

"I'll go back to my room now," Cai said as she stood up. "Iris and I will sleep together tonight. Fei Fei and Eiko will be with us as well."

"Goodnight, Grandpa," Cai replied before giving her Grandpa a respectful bow.

When he was sure that Cai was already a safe distance away, Maximilian waved his hand, and the ornate closet that was located at the corner of his room opened wide.

"Take a seat, Lux." Maximilian gestured with a smile. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long."

Maximilian thought that it would be a good idea to hide Lux inside his closet while he talked to his granddaughter. He believed that this would allow the Half-Elf to know what Cai honestly thought about him, without being influenced by other people.

"Now, tell me, Lux," Maximilian said as he gazed at the red-headed teenager in front of him. "What do you think of my Granddaughter?"
