Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate-Chapter 528 What Do You Think Of My Granddaughter? [Part 2]

"Now, tell me, Lux. What do you think of my Granddaughter?"

Also, Cai had appeared in her Human form. Although she didn't go out of her way to make herself look beautiful, her beauty was something that Lux had known about long ago.

Maximilian nodded after hearing the Half-Elf's reply. He had already deemed Lux to be a worthy fiance candidate for his granddaughter, not because he was Alexander's Stepson, or because he was the Guildmaster of the only Mythical Guild in the world.

When he won the Lionheart Tournament, Maximilian thought of him as an interesting person. Also, since he knew that the Half-Elf had discovered Cai's true form, the Chief of the Rowan Tribe had paid close attention to any news about him.

The Purple Plague had affected his wife, Isabella, whom he had frozen in a block of ice in order to prevent the plague from spreading inside her body.

Only when its potency was confirmed would he distribute the antidote to the Six Kingdoms, allowing them to cure those that had been affected by the plague that ravaged the borders of their Kingdom.

The Half-Elf had already expected that Maximilian would ask this question to him, so he had prepared an answer beforehand.

"I owe Cai my life. Because of her, I was able to clear the Gate of Conquest," Lux replied. "If there comes a time when her life is in danger, I will not hesitate to go to her aid, and help her to the best of my abilities. This help also extends to the Rowan Tribe. If Sir Maximilian finds something very difficult for him to handle, and needs my assistance, you can call for me for help."

Maximilian chuckled after hearing Lux's answer. This was a very safe answer, and it would not break his ties with the Rowan Tribe in the future.

"Tell me, my boy, is there something that a Saint like me cannot handle?" Maximilian asked in a teasing tone. "Do you really think that I will need help from someone who still isn't a Ranker?"

He was expecting Lux to answer his question with a No, but to his surprise, the Half-Elf gave him the answer which made the smile on his face disappear.

"However, I have seen something in Elysium that not even a Saint, like you, will be able to handle on your own. If there comes a time when the Cai, and the Rowan Tribe face such a threat, no matter how insignificant my Rank and strength is, I will not back down and offer my help."

"This is the promise I make to you," Lux declared. "This is how I will take responsibility for what Cai did for me."

If there was someone who could make Saints feel fearful, it was none other than Supremes.

Lux shook his head. Although the Creature of Ruin was very strong, it was not a Supreme.

The Half-Elf shuddered at the thought of such a Beast being controlled by an organization that didn't bat an eye in exterminating an entire Barony, just because of a woman's hatred.

"I saw a Peak-Calamity Monster," Lux replied. "A creature so strong that a dozen Saints can only hope to seal it in place." 𝒇𝚛e𝗲𝘸e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝙚𝒍. c૦𝒎

"Very well." Maximilian smirked. "Although I hope that such a day doesn't come, no one can tell what tomorrow will bring. Remember your promise boy, and remember it well. I will hold onto your words for now."

However, before the Half-Elf could even thank his lucky stars, Maximilian threw him a curve ball, which almost made him choke on his saliva.

Maximilian had subtly used an Intimidation Ability on the Half-Elf so he would tell him the truth.

"9 out of 10," Lux replied before he could even stop himself from replying. "The same as Iris."

The Saint laughed again as Lux's face became beet red after being teased by him.

'Starting as friends is also good,' Maximilian thought. 'It is better than falling in love instantly, and falling out of love the next day.'

The Saint just hoped that if Cai would choose someone to help share the burden she was carrying, it would be none other than the Half-Elf, whose face was currently beet red, due to the small prank that he had pulled on him.

Cai was his beloved granddaughter, and anyone who dared to treat her as a tool in order to gain unimaginable power, would be crushed under his merciless hooves.
