90 Feeling Like A Novel Protagonist

"Look after your Papa for me, okay?"

"Ma!"

"Make sure he doesn't cheat on me, okay?"

"Ma?"

Vera chuckled as she patted Iris' head.

"Don't teach Eiko things like this, Iris," Vera said with a smile. "She's still a baby."

Iris stuck her tongue out at Lux, while the latter just shook his head helplessly. After spending a few days in Barbatos Academy, the Half-Elf had been targeted by several students who had a crush on Iris.

Naturally, Lux didn't fight them and simply told them that he was Iris' stepbrother. Instead of feeling relieved, the boys became even more aggressive, and some even cursed him saying how jealous they were of him.

Fortunately, Vera was always with him whenever he toured the academy, so no actual harm came to him. However, Lux's grandma told him that if he wanted the harassment to stop, all he needed to do was marry Iris after she turned sixteen and the problem would be solved.
