[Author Note: WARNING! In this chapter, some might find the MC annoying in this chapter!]
As I was riding on the horse, the man has 'given' me, I saw a boy and a girl who seemed to be in their teens. Usually, I wouldn't care about teens, since they do not have money. What caught my attention, is the girl, do not get me wrong, I'm not going after underage girls, the girl looked like someone that I know from Earth! She was speaking with a boy in front of the local pub. I slowly went in front of them discreetly, and what I saw was a shock to me.
'She's my daughter! There's no way that I wouldn't recognize her! What the fuck is she doing here?!'
I stopped just before them, I didn't know what to do! I already accepted that I won't see her or her brothers again, but she is here! She looks like just like in her childhood, just more mature. But I don't understand, she looks like she aged ten years! So on Earth, when I reincarnated, 10 years already passed? I don't understand what is going on.
While I was sitting on the horse in front of them, they noticed that I am looking at them not saying anything.
"What are you looking at, man?" asked the boy
"What? Can't I just look at someone that I haven't seen before, boy?"
"What's wrong with you, old man? You want something from her? Sorry, but she's already taken." the boy said as he puts his arm around my daughter's shoulders
As he did this, something clicked in me, which caused me to release my surpassed frost and despair aura. This caused them to shiver in fear and because of the pressure they had a hard time to breath, it also didn't help that I far surpass them in strength.
When I saw that my daughter have struggled to breathe, I realized what I did and surpassed my aura again. Yes, now that Amber is here, I unconsciously started playing the good man again, though I don't know why, I am sure that she already knows what things I did back on Earth.
They calmed down, and the boy finally shut his mouth, since I showed him that I am stronger than him.
"Sorry, sorry. Um, little girl would you mind telling me your name?" I know who she is, but I want to make sure, to avoid any unnecessary conflict.
"Why do you want to know?" asked the boy
"I'm talking to her, boy. Don't butt in."
"Amber...Amber Murphy"
'She is my daughter! I knew that I can't mistake her!'
Suddenly a group of people, who looked like 3 adventurers, approached us, more accurately Amber and the boy, who claims himself as her boyfriend.
"We are here. Amber and Lucas, right?"
I quickly use [Appraisal], to check how strong they are. They are level 20-25. 'I could take care of them.'
"Yes, that's us!" Lucas said kind of excitedly
"Hm...Amber, where are you going, if you don't mind me asking?" I asked
"Old man, you're being a creep!" Lucas voiced his displeasure
I looked at him angrily, though he doesn't see my face, he could feel the displeasure from my voice.
"They paid us to escort them to a manor that has been built on the mountain near the forest." said a muscular adventurer
'How is that possible? They know about my manor? But my servants didn't say anything about it in their report, I even read through it!'
I sigh inwardly, not wanting to care about it since they didn't do anything in these months, so I assume that they won't do anything in the future either. I wanted to do something to stop them, but after seeing my daughter's excited face my paternal instinct kicked in, and I just wanted to protect that smile. 'Why am I so weak against my children?! FUCK!'
"Oh! You're talking about the manor that is near the dragon lair?" I asked
"Yes." said one of the adventurer
"Oh, that? Hahaha~ That's where I live, that's my mansion."
"That's yours?!" asked everyone in surprise
'I'm so fucking stupid!' I shouted inwardly
"If you want I can take you there!" I said
"If you don't mind, I accept your offer!" shouted happily Amber
Hearing this the adventurers left with a shrug. Since they already have someone to take care of them, they didn't care. They weren't in need of money, and the forest is dangerous.
"Wait, Amber! You seriously want to go with a stranger, who doesn't even show his face?" asked Lucas
"What's the difference between me and an adventurer? I've been living there for a month now, you know? I know where to go to avoid monsters, and even if we came across one, I can handle them." suddenly I butted in their conversation. I didn't like the way he talks to my little darling.
They both stayed in silence for a few moments.
"Well, whatever. I'll start going, if you want to come, then come on." I said as I slowly started riding the horse towards the town exit.
Seeing me leaving as I said those words, Amber quickly run after me. Seeing that she already made the choice, Lucas shook his head and run after us.
"Amber, darling, Wana sit up here?" I asked
'Darling? My father used to call me that in this tone, so strange.' Amber thought inwardly
"Sure." she said
I hold out my gloved hand to her, and she takes it, then easily pull her on top of the horse.
...
"Here we are, this is my home!" I said
"This is beautiful!" Amber shouted enthusiastically
I nod happily as I hear my daughter praising my work.
I open the door, then head inside. Suddenly my 3 servants appear before us. Though I wear a mask and a different robe they recognize me. I once did this, dressed differently, just like now, and then too, they recognized me. They said that I have an aura, not frost and despair aura, but a different one, that nobody has something majestic, and from that they know that is me.
"Darling Amber, these are my servants. Pearis, Kiirion, and Sandra. Servants, this is Amber. Oh, you and this boy, um...What's your name again?"
Not waiting for his answer I continued.
"Servants, this beautiful young lady was interested in this manor. Please show her around. Oh, I always forget, this little prick too. Oh, and do not bring them to the forbidden zones."
