Chapter 26 - 26.The calm before the storm

============Standard POV==============

After Aiz has attended to Roy, she exited from Adventurer's guild and saw tiona waiting for her outside,

"How is he?"(Tiona)

"He..is..fine..he..needs3..more..days..to..make..full..recovery"(Aiz)(worried)

"Okay shall we go?, you have to give a explanation to everyone"(Tiona)

Aiz and Tiona reached Twilight manor in 10 minutes, they directly entered main hall and saw all top echelon of Loki familia, along with goddess loki, she has come to this meeting because it would decide the future of her familia, Aiz is a level 6 adventurer with high reputation and immense strength, she just can't allow her take any rash decisions just because of her childhood buddy, the room is silent, then Finn who sat in single couch with his hands in arched position had released some pressure withlist looked at Aiz, and tried to intimidate her,since he was captain of familia and Aiz has been acting arbitrarily,he wanted to discipline her.Finn has medium length scruffy blonde hair and blue eyes with a fair skin tone. He has a small body, but is still strong. Finn has the appearance of a child despite being over 40 years old. He wears a yellow vest over a purple long-sleeved shirt and trousers. Despite his efforts little pallum couldn't do anything to expressionless Aiz, he sighed and asked her,

"Is he the one?"(Finn)

"Yes"(Aiz)

"Did you check your marriage contract or something"(Finn)

"No"(Aiz)

"THEN WHO THE HELL DO YOU KNOW?"(???)

Hearing the enraged shout everyone was dumbfounded and looked at the source, it was Bete who had irritated look on his face and leaning against one of the walls of room.Bete has gray colored hair, along with amber eyes, as well as a sleek tail. He has a blue tattoo on the left side of his face and a muscular physique. His features are described to be handsome, and he appears cool to others.

At Bete's everyone were not surprised, Bete has a rough personality and a slight superiority complex. He completely hates the weak, especially those that don't do anything about their weakness, and is not afraid to express his opinions about it. He can be an idiot who can't read the atmosphere.

He has, in several instances, displayed feats of heroism and still worries for the wellbeing of his weaker subordinates. He is a tsundere, hiding a more forebearing exterior. He admires and has a crush on Aiz, now that Aiz has expressed her feelings he is frustrated because even though Roy's strength and potential were very good, he was not his opponent and weaker than him, this made him dissatisfied.

"Okay, calm down Bete, and Aiz say what happened after you met him"(Riveria)

Bete lip's twitched but he didn't say anything because Riveria is vice captain of Loki familia and also a very strong mage, there is no need for him to offend her.Riveria is tall with jade-colored hair tied in a tail that reaches to her waist, same color eyes, and Elf ears. She is wearing a green outfit with yellow borders, a white cloak over it, a black belt, a yellow sash, black leggings, and long brown boots.

Aiz told everything happened in the room because it was just a typical reunion of long last lovers, they didn't talk about anything. While she was explaining everyone has unique expressions on their faces, Gareth just laughed it off, Loki listened with a amusing smile,Finn and Riveria looked serious,Lefiya got flustered and furious knowing that Roy has kissed her, Tiona just listened with a smile, Tione got curious about the poem, Bete got red after knowing that Roy took liberties with Aiz, when he was about to leave in direction of Roy, someone stopped him suprisingly it is not Aiz but Riveria, Riveria looked at Aiz and said,

"Aiz I believe in you but according to your description, he still didn't show any proof that he is your fiance, he just kissed you and talked some sweet words, he may be a swindler with same appearance as your fiance, you have saw him last about 10 years ago, you too just remember his voice and hair colour nothing more, it is not enough to prove your claim so I suggest that once he come to Loki sama we will interrogate him to check whether he is your fiance or not, we will everything else after it. Is it okay Captain?Loki sama?"(Riveria)

"Yes, it is correct choice"(Finn)

"Okay, but I want him to be your fiancee because got both muscle and brain, he is quite special, so I will hope the best for you my little Aiz~"(Loki)

"Yes..it..is..him...I...believe...it"(Aiz)

"Hmph"(Bete)

Bete snorted and left first followed by everyone.

After 3 days,

Roy woke up and saw Aiz,Bell,Hestia near his bed in Adventurer's guild resting room, he got a notification that Paragon's eye skill has fully equipped but with it's current grade it is not possible to see Aiz's status, he tried to see Bell's status but,

[Error, with user's current strength it is not possible to see individual Bell cranel's status]

He couldn't see it,he got a bit dissapointed, then he sighed and looked at them,

"Are you recovered now?"(Hestia)

"Yes Hestia sama"(Roy)

"I am glad"(Bell)(smile)

"Are...you..okay?"(Aiz)

"Yes, Aiz!!"(Roy)

"Okay, get ready Roy we are going to talk to Loki now"(Hestia)

"Hestia sama, I would like to go to Loki familia to talk, I would also like to have a talk with miss Riveria and miss Lefiya, because they are highly reputed mages, I will not lose this opportunity"(Roy)

"Yes let's go"(Aiz)(Hestia)

Three of them left the room, bell got ready he wore his jerkin because he there might be some trouble, it is a precaution, he wore black pants and nicely combed his hair , he then left the guild and went towards Twilight manor, in the way Roy teased Bell when he saw him talking with half elf receptionist Eina, Bell got embarrassed and refuted him, Hestia just pouted her face, Aiz just slightly smiled and caught Roy's sleeves, Roy got surprised for a moment before he grabbed her arm, they slowly made their way towards manor while discussing nonsense and bickering.

Twilight manor.

Roy and co. entered Twilight manor and encountered someone at the entrance,

"Pleased to meet you Goddess Hestia, Mister Bell,Mr Roy and miss Aiz, I will guide you to main hall, Loki sama and everyone are waiting for you, please follow me."(Random mob)

Roy and co. followed the mob and reached main hall, the mob bowed and left, Aiz smiled and opened the door, once he entered the room , he felt someone's death glare on him, it's as if predator eying on prey he turned around and saw Bete's furious face on him, he mocked in inwardly and looked at Loki and said ,

"It looks like Loki sama's familia doesn't have experince in receiving guests~"(Roy)

Everyone got dumbfounded at my Roy's bold claim, he didn't mentioned Bete or entire familia but instead only familia excluding Loki as to not disrespect her, this small trick in words has impressed old veterans like Gareth and Loki, while Bete got enraged, before he could do anything, Roy released Haoshoku haki at it's full power, he even though Roy is weaker than people in the room, this is already his second life ,his will power is extremely strong, not to meter that his skill is at SS rank this put significant pressure even on level 6 adventurers, Roy could sense the emotions of people using kenbunshoku haki,most of them are surprised and curious except two people who are hostile and furious, they are Bete and Lefiya , he know that Bete has Crush on Aiz but couldn't understand Lefiya's problem, then he quickly try to remember everything about her from canon and cried,

"damn lesbian!!!"(Roy)(shout)

Suddenly temperature in the room dropped, even the raging Bete calmed down, Loki started to laugh loudly, tiona started chuckling, tione looked at Roy curiously, Gareth acted as if he didn't care, Finn and Riveria sighed helplessly, looking at the facade Hestia couldn't help but mutter,

"As expected of a dashboard, even her children are weird like her"(Hestia,)

Bell smiled wryly and looked at Roy , why did he call Lefiya lesbian, even though Roy didn't mention the name the name but judging by everyone's reactions Bell could say that it is Lefiya,

"I-I-I w-will you-u"(Lefiya)(embarrassed)(angry)
