As soon as Zaki sat on the bench, old Mr. and Mrs. Chen immediately walked towards them.

  "Second son, we needed to talk. Hinari dear, let me borrow your sweetheart for a moment, okay?" Mrs. Chen sweetly whispered to Zaki first, then Hinari as she held Zaki’s arm. The madam seemed to be very wary of disturbing Davi and Little Shin, whose gazes were still locked onto the king, who was in their eyes, the coolest hero of them all.

  When Mrs. Chen brought Zaki towards another bench a bit farther away from the mother and son duo, she started to speak with Mr. Chen following hot on their heels.

  "Zaki dear, t-that woman is…… she’s Sei’s wife, right?" she asked with wide eyes and Zaki casually replied with a "yes".

  "She’s already back? When did she come back? Why didn’t you two little punks tell us?!" Mrs. Chen exclaimed as she gasped.

  "Mother, she only came back recently and there are still some problems between them that Sei needs to solve. That’s why he didn’t inform you." Zaki explained and Mrs. Chen could only sigh.

  "Oh…… I see." Mrs. Chen replied to Zaki before she faced her husband.

  "Now that it’s confirmed, let’s go meet her." She said with obvious excitement flashing across her face and Mr. Chen simply nodded at his wife with the same eager expression. Well, ever since that day the couple heard about this mysterious woman who actually melted their first son’s frozen heart, they’ve been so excited to meet her. Just what kind of woman was able to change this son of theirs who couldn’t even smile before?

  "Let’s go Zaki dear, you will come with us and be the one to introduce us to her." Mrs. Chen said as she pulled Zaki up, causing Zaki to crease his forehead due to confusion.

  "Do I really need to introduce you? Can’t you introduce yourselves to her?" Zaki uttered and the madam could only look at Zaki with a stern look before she smiled.

  "We’re just being careful. We don’t want to scare our dearest daughter-in-law on our first meeting."

  "Mother, it’s okay. She’s a good person."

  "We know that but we don’t want to intimidate her or make her feel uncomfortable. She looks really frail and she seems so emotionally and physically weak. We are worried we may worsen her condition and worse yet, what if she leaves again?"

  Err…… very frail, emotionally and physically weak, huh…… oh well, I guess she does look like that on the outside at the moment…… but, you don’t know how strong and great your daughter in law is, mother. Now i wonder how they react if i’ll tell them their daughter in law is actually a badass soldier. On second thought, it might be better for them not to know for now……

  When Zaki saw the worried look in his mother’s eyes, he could only give in. Zaki understood why his parents were being extra careful. They knew very well how important Davi was to Sei. They were the ones who introduced countless of pretty young ladies to Sei back then but Sei didn’t even bat an eye for anyone of them, causing these two desperate parents to be devastated. They even thought that being able to have a grandchild in the future was a bleak dream. However, a girl appeared and she not only changed the emotionless Sei, she even gave them a genius grandson. They also knew that this lady would forever be irreplaceable to Sei. In the last five years, they also actually urged Sei to at least find a girlfriend to help raise Little Shin but that suggestion was received with the cold shoulder it deserved. This was why, Mr. and Mrs. Chen were willing to accept whoever this lady was, regardless of her identity or background, because they knew she was the only one for their dear son.

  "Okay, fine. Let’s go then." Zaki finally stood and the three of them approached Davi.

  As soon as they reached her, Zaki immediately spoke and he began his introduction without any warning, as direct as ever.

  "Sis-in-law, meet our parents. Mother, father, this is Davi, Sei’s wife." Zaki said and after he said his piece, he casually turned around to go and sit beside Hinari, without even waiting for one of them to respond.

  Davi and Little Shin: "……"

  Mr. and Mrs. Chen: "……"

  Hinari: "……"

  Th-this son of ours, what kind of introduction is that? Can’t he even do it properly instead of sounding like an emotionless robot?!

  Mrs. Chen could only force a laugh at what her second son had done as she faced Davi with a warm smile.

  "I’m very sorry for my second son’s attitude. He’s not usually like that. I think he is just tired, so don’t mind him." She said and Davi immediately replied.

  "Uhm…… no, it’s alright. I’m used to him already."

  "Ohh, that’s right. Anyway, I’m your mother-in-law and this is my husband. Pleased to meet you my dear."

  "U-uhm…… I’m Davi, p-pleased to meet you m-mother in law, father in law."

  "My, my, we’ve been so eager to meet you for years now. We are so glad you’re finally back."

  "Yep! I am very happy that Mommy is back! Daddy is very happy too! He even wore pink bunny ears the last time we came here to make Mommy happy." Little Shin piped up as he heard his grandmother’s words. Little Shin’s words caused everyone to laugh as they all pictured the mighty king wearing pink bunny ears which broke up the awkwardness of their first meeting.

  "Shall we go and take a seat somewhere? I have so much to ask you! I have to tell you, you have done an amazing job of thawing out our dear frozen son. He has never been the same since he met you……" Mrs Chen said as they walked towards a bench to sit and talk.

  "Do you want to know what that child was like back when he was still a teenager?" Mrs. Chen asked, looking so enthusiastic about what she was about to say and as expected, Davi looked at her with intense interest, causing the madam to chuckle.

  "Yes, i…… I want to know. Please do tell me." Davi said, eyes shimmering in anticipation with the new information she might get from her new found family.

  "Well, when he was younger……"

  As Davi listened to every piece of information that Sei’s parents were willing to give her, the nervous feeling in her heart completely disappeared. Davi was so thankful that her in laws were actually such very nice people. They didn’t ask about her background or probed about why she left or anything else that may have caused some tension to appear. They were simply having a relaxed conversation about that important person that they held dear in their hearts. The atmosphere was comfortable, relaxed and they were all at ease. In terms of first meetings with the in laws, this surely counted as one of the better ones.

  Meanwhile, Sei who was still talking to Kir saw that Davi was talking to his parents and his eyes widened a bit. Well, he completely forgot that his parents were even here. Sei was actually planning to bring Davi to his parents house and introduce her to them officially. However, now that certain things have happened, Sei could only change his plans again.

  He quickly finished speaking with Kir regarding the captured army so he could go to his wife’s side.

  Just as he was about to walk off, he stopped as there seemed to be someone missing.

  "Kir, grandfather isn’t here?" he asked.

  "I forgot to inform you but Master Mikazuki is currently in the hotel right now. He didn’t last long roaming around because of his old age so……"

  "I see."

  "Send someone to fetch him and bring him to the mansion."

  "Yes, boss!"

  When Sei finally reached Davi’s side, the man cleared his throat to get Davi’s attention as she was currently immersed with the conversation with his parents.

  "Oh, dear son, have you settled the matter about this incident?" Mrs. Chen asked Sei.

  "Mm." Sei replied before he lovingly held Davi’s hand, not hesitating to show his affection to his wife even in front of his parents.

  "Mother, father, I have something important to discuss with you all when we get home." Sei said with a serious gaze and everyone looked at him, including Davi, with curious eyes.

  Hmm? Something important? What could it be?
