"Do you still remember the story I told you before about the time your father and I were fighting side by side during the battle of Lockhor?" (Grey)
"You did multiple times. You said that my father fought with honor and I should strive to be like him." (Garreth)
"Hahaha is that what I said? Thinking about it now, I think your father may have cheated. You see, he was like a brother to me and before we went to the end battle, we promised each other that if one of us survives the battle they would take care of the deceased family. If both of us survives, then both of us would combine houses.
That battle destroyed my mana core and I am left with the Tier 2-Middle Class Level. Unfortunately, he died saving our commander.
I am a man of my word and I approve of your relationship with Serrena." (Grey)
"Thanks Father. I promise that I will take care of her for the rest of my life." (Garreth)
"Save your sweet talk. Besides, it's not final yet who is going to protect who. Serrena is already breaking through Tier 3- Low Class and a Pure Lightning Mage while you are still Tier 2-Low Class Arsenal Mage. I am afraid she will wipe the floor with you. Also, my daughter is a bit tomboyish so even if you ask me for her hand but if she refuses, then there is nothing I could do." (Grey)
Garreth gave an awkward smile.
"Actually Father, we just finish training and she was so merciless I ended facedown on the floor. As punishment, I was tasked to come clean about our relationship to you." (Garreth)
"Haha as expected of my daughter. This is perfect as well, since I have planned to have you be the Lord of the House. Better catch up, or you will be beaten every time." (Grey)
"By the way Father, I heard some rumor that the Town Lord is recruiting some men to go inside a new dungeon. They were offering five bottles of Tier 2 Strengthening Potion each person. I was hoping to join them." (Garreth)
"Fine, you can go. Actually, we are also invited to be bodyguards for Arrhole. I was trying to see if you are interested but it seems you have plans already. Go ahead and prepare, we will talk about your personal affairs on a later date." (Grey)
Satisfied with the result, Garreth executed filial bow before dashing out of the room.
"You know, it's not good for a lady to be eavesdropping, Aliyah." (Grey)
Aliyah Ford is Serrena's twin sister. They are identical twins however it's the hairstyle that makes them identifiable from each other. Also she is Tier 2-High Class Ranger Mage.
"Don't tell me you are here to ask me for permission to marry too. Hehe." ( Grey)
Grey is waiting for the silent beauty to deny but was replied with the apparent blushing of the young lady.
"Oh, I did not think I will be having this kind of talk twice today. So, who is this lucky guy and why don't you invite him over?" (Grey)
"He just went out running." (Aliyah)
Grey can't keep a straight face now, realizing who the person she is talking about.
"Are you sure about this? Does he even know? How about your sister?" (Grey)
"Serrena has a clue about it. Garreth only has eyes for her. It's fine, I think it's better this way too, loving him this way is best suited for me." (Aliyah)

Titan POV
It seems that I got a half day of beauty rest after gorging myself with all that meat. I am back now to my human form and the difference is a bit huge.
Maybe it's the mana converted wine and the all that meat, I feel like I can run thousand of miles without even having a drop of sweat. It's a little bit past noon and I prepared myself to find a way out of the forest without engaging a fight with monsters.
Before I set forth, I asked Max to record the path I will be taking since if there is free time that I wanted to go back here for the great view.
It's very smooth sailing so far, walking past some of the monsters. I guess some of them are more cautious of me because of day light.
Anyways, the sun is already setting up when I got the chance to meet a human. They were wearing some kind of medieval attire from my point but it doesn't seem to be that heavy. Although, they were wearing armor, I can't see their weapons at all.
I decided not to reveal myself because of two reasons. First, I don't know if they have some kind of way to identify me as half demon. It was written in the handbook with big letters that humans hate demons. Heck even demons hate each other and they will fight each other the first thing they got.
Second, even if I disregard the first point, these humans were walking towards the forest where I am right now and not away from it.
Logically, as written on the handbook for survival tips, humans do not enter the forest if it's already close to night time. I was curious, so I followed them.
Finally they stopped on a camping site near a big cave. I think it's weird since they can use the cave. Although I was thinking it, Max interjected.
"It's a dungeon, Lord Titan." (Max)
"Guess that makes sense." (Titan)
I came forward with caution but my actions were unnecessary. All of the people there were basically too busy drinking. None of them even bothered even assigning someone to keep guard.
Seeing them like this made my efforts of being cautious made me look like a fool. Maybe I can just steal some basic clothes and change there and started drinking with them afterwards and they would not even notice.
Then I realized it was not a crazy plan at all.
