Chapter 2 - The Father

As the guy and the young lady were walking on the street they noticed a commotion outside the butcher shop , as they came closer they saw a kid crying because the butcher was scolding him . The younglady(Crista) went to the butcher and asked about what happened and it turns out that the kid stole a piece of meat , Crista didn't start yelling at him but instead she approached him with an appealing face and asked about the reason he did that "I have a younger brother and sister, our parents died not long ago when the calamity happened in the city ,they were trying to protect us but died in the end, I tried finding a job but no one accepted so I could only try stealing , I am sorry" (our main protagonist name is I) I heard this kid's story and wondered about this calamity. Crista then went up to the butcher and started yelling at him for not listening to the kid " I am sorry young lady I was impulsive towards the kid and didn't even try to hear him out I am so sorry , it won't happen again and I will give this little kid a piece of meat everyday from now on" Crista went To I and told him to get out of here to go meet her father .

After walking for a while I found himself in front of a big mansion in the city "are you a noble or something" asked I " yes my father is a nobleman who rules over this city" as the both of them started entering the mansion" oh yeah I almost forgot to ask , what is the calamity that kid earlier was talking about?" asked I . Then the atmosphere became quiet for a bit then Crista answered:

" The calamity is an accident that happened about 6 months ago , it was a hord of thousands of monsters attacked the city for some unknown reasons but fortunately the city sent a letter to the imperial court to bring some heroes to protect the city in case of danger , The heroes couldn't arrive fast as the imperial city was a bit far so the citizens had to protect the city with everything they got , we had two 3-star heroes who protected the city but unfortunately they died at the last moment before the arrival of the heroes from the imperial city , and as you can guess those 2 heroes who died were that kid's parents , so when the heroes arrived they killed the hord of monsters in matter of 2 days and then returned to the imperial city to report what happened and they will be back next month and I hope nothing will happen before their return , as for the kid's parents we made them a memorial tomb so that everyone can remember their sacrifices, enough chichat let's enter the mansion".

I was impressed by their sacrifice and decided to go see their tomb after the meeting with the father ends.

As they entered a group of servants were greeting them" welcome back younglady"

Crista told them to keep up the work and then one of the servants who looked quite old but wore a better quality of clothing compared to the other servants , he is the servants head, his name is Octen and asked: "Who is the guy besides you young lady?" Crista told them that he is a friend and decide to introduce him to her father as she couldn't have any friends since her father made her busy since childhood. Octen let it slide and guided them to Crista's father study room . As both of them entered the room they saw an old man sitting in his desk "You finally came after escaping from the mansion and you also brought a guy with you , what would I do if something happened to you , you are the only one left for me " Crista started calming her dad down and said that he is a friend of hers who helped her from so bandits that tried to molest her . The Father became so angry against his daughter and thanked the young man for his deed, then he treated I to tea , and of course he didn't refuse since it would be disrespectful. As Crista and I were sitting with the Father "What is your name young lad" asked the father and Crista though with blushiness "Noo I forgot to ask my benefecator and future husband his name how could I be so stupid , oh yeah he didn't ask me about my name too hhhh"

". You can call me Wei zhi "

The father was confused and said" you can call me Frono . That is not a common name here , you came from the east no?"

"Exactly I found myself in a forest for some unknown factors and just happened to meet your daughter " then he asked Cristia's name while whispering( even thought he knows he is asking her so it doesn't become weird if he accidentally call her by her name )so it doesn't become awkward and she awered without the father being able to hear , the father didn't really notice the act and

thanked his benefecator again and then Cristia screamed " Dad I want to marry him" I's face became red as a tomato and Frono asked his daughter about the reasons why she wants to marry him and apologized to I if his daughter is troublesome but I didn't mind since he too wants to marry her and told that to Frono.

Crista answered her father " Well he is handsome ,kind , he saved me and is cute and shy, even thought I didn't know him for long I feel like I am destined to be his wife" The father didn't scream at his daughter and knew that he couldn't stop her and he saw his wife's energy in her when he first met her so he felt that I and Crista are destined to be together.

"Ok I accept this marriage but on one condition , never betray each other and always be together, the marriage will be the day after the return of the here's from the capital , so 13 days later"

I and Cristia were so happy that I whispered happily" Finally we will be reunited again"
