Chapter 2314

2314 - The Status of the Pureheart Family

"...What do you think?" Robin wondered with a wide smile.

"...?" Glacion furrowed his brows deeply.

The coronation of Lord Human as a Behemoth, his son's wedding ceremony, and the announcement of Serine as the Behemoth of Purity and his son's wife?

Just how grand did he want to make that day?

"My opinion?" Kaylis showed a sarcastic smile. "You kill Darvion, then announce your own coronation and hold a grand wedding as the opening act... Hmm, what else?"

"Is that mockery?" Robin asked in surprise, then turned to Glacion. "Did she just mock me?"

"Of course not, she's just wondering how grand that day will be!" Glacion replied quickly, then turned to Kaylis with a serious expression. "Lord Robin wants your opinion on the scenario, and whether those things—if they happen—would be a good arrangement in your view, that's all. Lord Robin did not ask for your help or opinion on whether it's possible."

"Oh," Kaylis showed a forced smile. "As long as we can throw logic aside, then it's fine. Yes, this seems like a good arrangement for you, Lord Robin. It will undoubtedly be a great day, especially when you take another Behemoth as your son's wife. That will be something to boast about."

"Even my servant Pitso boasts because he serves me, so what about someone who marries my son? Serine is a good girl and deserves to ascend to the seventh heaven in one step by being allowed to marry my son!" Robin chuckled joyfully, then nodded, "Good, we understand each other. It seems my visit here won't be long."

"Wait!" Kaylis raised her voice slightly, then fell silent for a few moments before speaking to Robin seriously, "Since you're here, let's talk. Since your son loves my daughter this much, he certainly wouldn't want to see her grieving over her mother after I'm injured or even die from giving up the Galactic Seed. And even if I survive, my death will be certain when I sever my connection to the main Law of Purity for Serine to take it... Do you want your son's mother-in-law to be killed and his wife to live in mourning during the first years of marriage?"

"..." Robin raised his left eyebrow, "Is there someone trying to escape their obligations?"

"Obligations are suicide. What's the problem if I try to make a new agreement?" Kaylis replied quickly, "Find something else you need, and I'll carry it out for you. Don't you want to marry the Behemoth of Purity into your family? No problem, I'm willing to marry you." Then her eyes sparkled, "But the dowry will be Darvion's head. I want to see it with my own eyes first, then—"

"No, thank you." Robin waved his hand several times. "What else do you have to ransom yourself with?"

".....?!" Kaylis's expression visibly soured, and her pride took a massive blow. "...What do you want? A portion of the Sector, my treasury, a number of my sons to work on healing your officers?"

"I have more Sectors, I have larger treasuries, and I have Arrays that can replace your sons... But even if I had none of this, everything you've offered, and more, I will obtain, and more, once Serine becomes my son's wife anyway." Robin waved his hand. "What else do you have?"

"....?" Kaylis turned to Glacion as if seeking help.

"Your Excellency," Glacion shrugged, "a deal is a deal. If you want to change it, you must offer something of notably higher value, and I don't know what you have to offer."

"If you need nothing from my galaxy or my Sector, then what difference does it make to you whether the Behemoth is me or my daughter? Ask her, and she'll tell you she doesn't want to replace me either!" Kaylis raised her voice, feeling things slipping from her grasp.

"...There's a misunderstanding here." Robin sighed, then leaned his body slightly forward. "If it weren't for the fact that your daughter tried to help my son, and if it weren't for the fact that my son has feelings for her, I would have put the Pureheart Family, with you at its head, on the list of people to be eliminated. You're frankly useless. You had a long time to get rid of Darvion's control, but you preferred the easy life, and that's something I cannot tolerate in my inner circle. Your family is even more useless than you. I don't need to train you, protect you, take you as part of my family, or even speak to you now, except that your daughter is lucky."

"...?!"

Then he continued with the same rigid expression, "When I first learned of my son's love for Serine, I was going to make you give up the entire galaxy and have Richard refine it for himself. I would have left you and your family to live in it as his wife's family, living on charity in something that was no longer yours... But I changed my mind and decided to leave the galaxy to Serine. Why? Because a happy wife equals a happy life, and I want a happy life for Richard... and I'll find him another Seed soon."

He then pointed toward her. "Note that neither the old nor the new arrangements include you. I never once entertained the thought that I would have to deal with you for an extended period. All scenarios always lead toward getting rid of you. The only thing is that the current scenario is the lightest and best, which is why you find an opportunity to try to wriggle out of it... but I can shift the scenario to another whenever I wish."

"....?" Glacion's mouth fell wide open. His master could say truly painful words when he wanted to!

He quickly looked toward Kaylis. "What the Lord means is—"

"I have two ears to hear with!" Kaylis exclaimed, then continued in a quieter voice, "...I fully understand what Lord Robin means."

She then stared at Robin's face with a choked feeling of injustice. "I will be ready to transfer ownership of the galaxy and the Law when Darvion dies, not before."

"Haha, simple." Robin stood up with a smile. "When the time comes, I'll send you a number of Royal Soul Masters, and at least you won't die, as that would be a bad omen."

Then he turned and looked toward a certain direction, almost waving a hand filled with Golden Engravings, but he paused for a moment. "...Alright, let's leave you for later," he said, then opened the Golden Door in another direction. "Come on, Glacion!"
"And the young master?" Glacion flinched, looking toward the Gate.

"Let him eat ice cream with his fiancée, hehe." Robin laughed and entered the Gate directly.

As for Glacion, he paused for a moment, then turned toward Kaylis, who seemed to be barely holding back a scream, and bowed slightly. "For a better tomorrow and lasting peace of mind."

"Get lost!!" Kaylis threw an empty cup that was nearby. Bam! But it didn't hit Glacion, who had quickly fled into the Gate.

Only when the Gate was closed did Kaylis grab the armrest of her seat and open her mouth, "Aaaaaah!!!!!"
