The Old Man looked at Rowen and thought for a little. He knew how dangerous these kind of wishes were. He had lost one of his daughters because of this type of wish.
He doesn't want to take a risk like that again, in case something like this ever occur.
When Felicia saw that her father was hesitating for such a simple request, she quickly moved towards him and gave a smile. "Father, I request you to please fulfil his wishes. Brother Rowen has a life debt on us." Felicia said with a mental message.
She didn't want Rowen to go empty-handed. What message will go when he will find out that her father was hesitating for such a simple wish. For her Rowen was important and she knew that he would not ask for much in the future. After all, he was gentle and kind. Just today he was a bit naughty, however, he instantly stopped when he saw her crying.
The Old Man listened to Felicia and let out a sigh and then he nodded. "As you wish." He said. Felicia was right, Rowen does have a life debt on them and the Old Man also loved his daughter. Especially after she has come back alive after being so close to death. And it was all due to Rowen.
Ia and Rowen then bowed in front of the Old Man again. "Thanks, Your Highness, to deem me worthy of such a kind gift," Rowen said and then they stood up.
"It's nothing much in front of what you have done for me and our kingdom." Felicia stepped ahead and said with a smile.
Rowen nodded at her with a smile and then again looked at the Old Man. "Your Highness, grant us leave. I still have one of my Demoness at the academy and I can't keep her in the open for this long. It could really cause some trouble." Rowen said.
He wanted to leave and meet with Lilias. As she was not a demon that Rowen personally created he can't talk to her with his mental messaging easily and even if she was his demon. Mental messaging techniques don't work at so far distance.
He was hoping that she has found out something about Dao of Darkness. And if even she couldn't find something about it then he would ask the Old Man for help. Although he would need to explain why he needed Dao of Darkness. He would make an excuse. And the Old man would not be able to refuse him as he had given him a promise.
"Leave?" Felicia asked in a surprised voice. She wanted to spend some more time with him. 'I will make him mine once we reach the Academy.' She decided.
"Yes, sister Felicia. I will have to leave to take care of Lilias." Rowen said while looking at her.
Felicia nodded at him and then looked at the Old Man. "Father, I will leave with them too." She said and moved towards Rowen and the team.
A worried look appeared on Rowen's face. "Sister Felicia, I don't think it would be advisable for you to leave the Castle," Rowen looked at the Old Man.
"Your highness. I suggest that Sister Felicia should be confined in this castle for her own safety. If those Demons find out about her then they may not even return her this time." He said.
"What? What are you saying? I will go with you!" Felicia said with a determined voice. She can't let Rowen leave without confirming her love with him she wanted to be one with him. The more she thought about him going alone to the Academy the more panicked she got.
What if Ia or Lilias seduced Rowen. They seemed pretty close to him. She gulped her saliva in fear. 'No! I can't let that happen. I love him.' She started regretting stopping him previously.
The Old Man nodded at his words. "Felicia you are confined in your courtyard now. You will not leave until I settle the matter with those demons. And you are prohibited to meet anyone else expect the servants I appoint for you." He announced as his voice reverberated in the big hall.
"No! I will go with him!" Felicia said while clenching her jaw. This was the first time she has gone against her father's words. From the time she was small, her father's words were like imperial decree to her, she would follow them with her life.
However, currently, the matter was bigger than her life. She can't lose him, she would not be able to settle if she died before making Rowen his.
The old man looked at her with a surprised expression, she has never talked to him like that. He then looked at Rowen. Even he had a shocked expression on his face. He then sighed. This daughter of his was in love with this young boy and it is apparent.
"This is my final order." He said.
Felicia looked at him and tears formed in her eyes. She really wanna go with him. However, she also can't deny her father twice. It would be rude of her and after all, they were doing it for her safety in the first place.
"Can you at least stay for one more day?" Felicia asked with tears in her eyes.
"Sister Felicia..." Rowen looked at the old man to convince her daughter. "Your highness you know how big of a trouble Demons can be when left alone without their master," Rowen said he could easily stay in the castle. However, he wanted to teach her a lesson.
The Old Man looked at Rowen and then at Felicia and then sighed. "I know that demons can be troublesome, however, I also know you... You can definitely stay one more day here with my daughter, can't you?" He said.
"Yes, father is correct. Lilias is a great girl, she would never cause trouble for you." Felicia said again.
Ia looked at the drama and wanted to laugh. Her master is such an effortless manipulator. 'He is only second to me in making people do as they want.' She thought.
Winona on the other hand looked at Rowen in embarrassment. She has learned a lot about Rowen from Ia in these last few days and one of the most important things she learned is to stay silent about the matters releated to him. Even if she can't understand why he is doing certain things never interrupt him in the middle. He is smarter then he seems.
That was one of the reasons she didn't tell anyone about the Dao of Darkness.
Rowen first looked at the Old Man and then Felicia, after that he let out a sigh. "If your highness says so, I will stay for one more day." He said.
"Good choice." The old man said and then swiped his hand. All four of them got teleported again in the guest room.
Felicia moved towards Rowen and quickly hugged him. "Thank you so much." She said. She then cast a gaze at Winona.
Winona looked at her and nodded in understanding. "Sister Ia, how about I show you the most delicious dessert of Stiya," she said.
Ia looked at her and her eyes widened. "There is something more delicious than Fox Cherry Dessert in this place?!" She asked.
Winona nodded at her. "Yes, only some knows about that place."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Ia said and then grabbing Winona's hand teleported out of the room. Actually, Rowen has already ordered her to leave the room.
After they were gone Felicia moved on her toes and kissed Rowen. "Why were you in such a hurry to leave me?" She said with a pout on her face.
"Are you mad at me?" Rowen asked with a smile.
"Hmph!"
"How about we go on a date." Rowen hugged her tightly and whispered in her ears.
"Date? But we only have one day." She wanted to elope with him as much as she could in this one day. She wanted to make him completely hers.
"Yes, we only have one day. That is why we should go on a date. That way we can make this day memorable." Rowen said with a smirk.
When Felicia saw his smirk her nose raised up in annoyance. "Why are you teasing me?" She said.
"Teasing? I really wanna go on a date. What are you thinking?" Rowen asked.
Felicia looked at him and got even more annoyed. A blush formed on her face. She placed a spiritual barrier around them. "Let's start from where we left before going to the Throne room." She asked.
Rowen's smile widened when he listened to her. "We can do that later too. When all this is over, for now, I just want to make good memories with you."
"You! Why are you making this hard?" She was really ashamed of saying such dirty words and this guy was making her embarrassed again and again.
She then looked at his face and noticed the Devilish Smile. And then she remembered something. Previously he has asked her to beg for it. She looked at him again and gulped her saliva.
