Chapter 112 - Second main lead Claudius

Duke did not let them stay on the roads for long. With just a wave, he created a huge crystal pathway that ran right above theirs. Their carriage just rode above the crowd.

Many people gathered below looked up in awe.

Even the two in the scuffle glanced up in shock.

Feng Mei caught the attention of the two boys. They both looked like they were about fifteen years old.

One had flaming red hair and slightly golden eyes... he looked at her intently. The other was scrawling on the ground with a sword to his throat.

"Claudius is it? Interesting...."

The kid looked so young but he was able to wield that sword with suck might. The roads and the carriages near them were completely in shambles.

To think that such a young kid did so much danger was astonishing.

A hand suddenly covered her eyes.

Feng glanced back to see Aiden had switched seats and was sitting right next to her. "Don't look. That man is bad,"

"He is bad..." as far as she could remember Claudius was not such a bad character. He was unusually just and very bright. The only downside is.... he was a training manic.

Every time Clarina and he would meet si only at the training field. He would always be training there, not bothering to chase after her. It was almost like Clarina was the one who was doing all the chasing.

'But the plot armor made it so that Clarina meets him so often.. That somehow Claudius fell in love with her so immensely.

{It was her kind aura and her beautiful smile under the sunlight that captured his heart.'}

The plot dialogue went like that. It sounds super cringy and annoying to even read.

'Why would anyone fall in love with a person just because they are smiling? Why can't any of these main leads see the bitch I see in Clarina? Ugh, it's so frustrating. This guy is going to grow up to be the greatest warrior of all times, standing behind that bitch he will do all her work manipulated by her sweet sweet words.'

'Mommy I think there are so many traps up ahead in my small game life. Why is the game on the difficulty mode? Why? Why? Mister Ling why!!'

"Feng..."Aiden held her hand softly.

"yes dear.... I just felt a little dizzy..." she closed her eyes, getting back her composure. "Are you nervous about the exams?"

"I can ace it," he confidently smiled at her.

"Aw, I don't share your confidence. I think I can barely pass my exam," she leaned on his shoulders.

Suddenly a small realization hit her. Aiden was slightly taller than her now. At just six years old they were taller than her.

'They are growing so fast... oh my boys.. soon they will want to leave home and find a girlfriend. I think I might shed a few tears of joy,'

She gently kissed his curly blond head.

Aiden silently looked up and gestured for her to come close.

"What is it?" she secretively whispered moving close.

Suddenly, he kissed her lips and giggled. "I wanted to kiss you too...."

Wide eyes Feng glanced at the duke and duchess they both looked like they were at loss for words.

"t-that was an accident.... Aiden, you should not kiss anyone on their lips. It's not proper," lady Perlin chided him with a look of shock.

"But I saw a lot of people doing that. Even you do that,"

Lady Perlin's face went bright red. She hid her face with a folding fan blinking. "we... we are married. It's only married men do to their wives,"

"Oh..... but Feng promised to marry me," he smiled like a little angel.

Ethan just sighed. "She agreed to marry me too. i am owed a kiss as well,"

The duchess just glanced at the twins and then at her husband. "They are progressing too fast. They might scare Feng away.." she whispered in fear.

"It's okay," he assured her and then glanced at the boys. "No kissing allowed until you are fifteen. Promise or no promise this rule should be followed at all times,"

Aiden humped, folding his arm over his chest like a little angry man. "Then I won't kiss you both either. You guys keep asking for goodnight kisses, right? No more kisses. Banned as you say,"

The duke was at a loss for words. He just sighed and whispered. "Sorry little Feng. I apologize in turn to my children. They can be very naughty.."

Feng chuckled awkwardly wiping her lips. "Yes... they are.." they glanced at Aiden. 'Why do these kids still remember that promise? It's been months. Won't children forget things like in a day or so? Why... ahh this is so embarrassing. Now the duke and the duchess are going to think I'm a pervert for agreeing to their demands.'

"Feng dear..." the duchess moved close with an expectant look. "so... I will you hold your promise?"

"No! no.... I mean.. I..."

Both Aiden and Ethan's face changed.

"ahh, I didn't mean that. It's just... you are kids."

"So you will marry as when we are adults?" Ethan looked at her with hopeful look.

Feng did not know what to answer. She looked towards the adults for help.

The duke just shrugged. "Happy to have you as my daughter-in-law,"

"Me to me too!" lady Perlin excitedly said.

"Guys! I'm older!!"

The duke and duchess looked at her with a peculiar look.

"So? My wife is older than me by six years," the duke said for which lady Perlin slapped his arms.

"You shouldn't reveal my age like that,"

"Sorry," he apologized with a warm smile.

Feng Mei just looked at the pair and then at the twins. Who smiled at her the same way....

Their eyes were filled with love.

Not the familiar kind of love.

It was 'love' love....
