My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 621

Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Darkness under the light
“Why won’t she? Just looking at the two of you walking together, I could already see a future for you two.” She patted Eren’s head, like he was her own son.

“Have you eaten?” she suddenly asked, noticing that they were still standing outside the mansion. She was so eager to know more that she didn’t even allow Eren to enter the mansion.

“I-” Eren tried telling her that he was hungry. But before he could utter a sentence, Lysander’s thoughts appeared in his head.

“Don’t reject.”

“I haven’t eaten anything. I was really looking forward to eating something.” Eren took the warning seriously and rubbed his stomach, expressing his hunger.

He followed the woman inside the mansion, walking next to Lysander. He had only talked to that woman for a few seconds, yet he was already so exhausted. He could only imagine how Lysander handled her.

The only thing for certain, was that the two really loved each other. In fact, it was the most in-love couple that he had seen.

“Mother-in-law, can I ask you something?” he asked.

“A grandson, or a granddaughter. I’m fine with both.” The woman answered, without even waiting for the question.

Eren almost stumbled, hearing that answer. “Cough, that’s not it. I wanted to ask how I should address you in front of Estelia. I don’t think I can call you mother-in-law, or she might be upset.”

“Ah, that. My name is Trisa. I wouldn’t mind you calling me Sister Trisa, but I think that might mess up the hierarchy in my daughter’s eyes. So although I don’t want to feel old, you can still call me aunt when we are with her.”

Trisa seemed quite childish in some ways, but Eren had a feeling that it was only a side that she showed to people that she considered important. He truly didn’t want to see any other side of her.

“I had another question. More than a question, you can call out my curiosity. Both of you seem worried about your daughter’s closeness with that girl. In this world, you two can easily get rid of anyone. So why haven’t you?”

Not wanting them to misunderstand, he further clarified, “I meant, where I came from, this would be incomprehensible. But in this world, I don’t think it is against common sense to get rid of such threats. Is there a reason why you haven’t?”

“It’s because of my dear husband,” the woman said, letting out a sigh.

“Jenia’s father also used to be a Primordial Demon,” Lysander took the lead, and started explaining. “He was also a dear friend to me, who had helped me the most when I first came to this world.”

“You can say that I owe my life to him. So even if I don’t like that girl, I can’t kill his daughter. It’s also because of consideration for me that Trisa doesn’t do anything either.”

“I tried to have that girl he sent away, but every time, my daughter would start fighting me over it and bring her childhood friend back. So I was stuck in this mess, wondering what I could do. That’s when you came…”

“I am truly happy that I met you. And I do look forward to the moment when you truly become a part of our family.” Lysander truly looked relieved when he looked at Eren.

Eren couldn’t find a flaw in their words, but he still felt that the two of them were not telling him everything. Were they really eager to find a son in law because they were worried about their daughter?

He didn’t have any reason to question it, but there was still a cynical thought inside him that made him wonder, what if something else was going on that he didn’t know about?

More than doubting Lysander and his wife, he was doubting his own luck. Could his luck really be so good to get such overpowered in-laws without there anything being wrong with them?

He was burned so many times by his luck, that he found it hard to believe it, even when everything was logically making some sense.

Unfortunately, even if he questioned it, he didn’t have any way to confirm it. For now, he could only hope that he was overthinking.

“Father-in-law, I have a suggestion. If I was able to spend more time with Estelia, I might be able to win her heart. Is there a possibility that I could temporarily take her to earth to show her around?”

Out of nowhere, he offered a suggestion to the couple, finding a way to align his own goals with the goals of Lysander. It seemed like a good way to get Lysander to remove the seal on the portal to earth so he could retrieve his body.

At least that’s what he had thought. But the moment he finished speaking, all his senses warned him. He felt like the shadow of death had loomed over him, with a terrifying killing intent that flickered for a mere moment.

The killing intent disappeared as briefly as it had appeared. Even Eren couldn’t be certain where this looking intent came from. It definitely came from Lysander, or his wife. But why? What was about Earth that made one of them behave like this?

“Did you say something?” Lysander asked, without looking back.

“Ah, nothing. Now that I think about it, it was a stupid idea.” Eren subconsciously answered, backtracking. He didn’t want to repeat the same thing, without knowing the source of that killing intent.

The three of them entered the Palace. None of them said anything until they reached the dining hall. It took a moment before the atmosphere to return to normal, especially when the food was served.

Trisa called for her daughter, who also arrived soon after. The dinner was short and swift, and there were even small conversations, as if nothing had happened a few moments ago.

Even Eren couldn’t be certain what kind of situation this was. He also played along, and tried to suppress the memory of that frightening killing intent.
