The wooden door was opened by a man who exactly looked the same as Noah. Without needing to be told, the dragon king knew this man was Alicia’s father and the current Emperor. ‘This man looks more like a the mature version of Noah. If someone said that both Noah and this man are brothers, I wouldn’t have even a trace of doubt. Not to mention the fact that this man is clearly a 5th-order cultivator.’
‘He is suppressing his Aura. So I cannot correctly judge how strong is he but my dragon instincts is telling me that this man is even more dangerous than Laura.’
“Father, I am back.” The man named Ronnie hugged his daughter with a gentle, loving smile. Seeing how fast this man switched from being cold and stern looking to gentle, kind and loving, Aditya could not help but remember about a certain person who is also over protective of his daughter.
‘I guess both Julia and Alicia’s father are the same. Both men are over protective of their daughter. I wonder if the fathers of the other five goddesses are also over protective like Adam and Ronnie.’ Behind Ronnie, Aditya saw a few other figures.
‘They are Alicia’s mothers.’ Alicia had told Aditya that her father had 3 wives and her biological mother was the second wife.
While Aditya was recalling the things that Alicia told him about her family, one of the woman walked out with a surprised look. “Ara! Ara! It looks like our daughter has found a handsome young dragon.”
“Dragon?” Noah, Ronnie, Flora, and Norah all were shocked hearing the word dragon.
Aditya was the most shocked here. Aditya knew that as long as he suppressed his bloodline, no one, not even a 5th-order cultivator would be able to tell that he was a Dragon. But this woman who looks very similar to Alicia was able to find his race just being near him. Just how did this woman find out about this secret? Unless its’ necessary, Aditya never tells anyone about his race. Originally Aditya and Alicia had agreed to hide the fact that Aditya was a dragon but now their secret was exposed the moment he met her mother.
“A dragon?” Ronnie narrowed his eyes and cautiously looked at Aditya. Noah still looked shocked. Only Bianca looked very calm and collected.
Alicia understood that since her family had learned about Aditya’s race, she had to explain things before her family misunderstood Aditya. “Actually, Aditya has the Crimson Dragon bloodline. Normally he suppresses his bloodline as no one sense his dragon Aura.”
Ronnie still looked at Aditya suspiciously. “Well, if you’re a dragon then why I couldn’t sense your Dragon Aura. There is no way a normal dragon would be able to suppress his dragon Aura from the 5th-order cultivator.”
Aditya smiled before replying with a calm look. “My dragon bloodline happens to be a bit special than others that’s why.” As far as Ronnie knew even those who had rare dragon bloodline couldn’t hide their Dragon Aura. Aditya’s words made him think that this man must have some sort of secret. From his words it was clear that Aditya did not wish to share his secrets.
“Allow me to introduce myself. I am Aditya. It’s nice to meet you all.” Aditya offered a bow as a form of greeting.
Bianca looked satisfied with Aditya’s politeness. “We can introduce ourselves later. For now you can come inside.” Aditya was their guest and it was rude to keep guest’s standing outside the house.
After walking in, Aditya was given a pair of slippers. After wearing them, Aditya followed Alicia to the living room. While walking to the living room, Aditya noticed that this house looked nothing extraordinary. Everything inside and outside the house looked very normal. If no one knew the Emperor or his family, they would think that the owner of this house is a middle class family.
Alicia father and mother already had walked to the living room and was waiting for them. After Aditya wore the slippers, Alicia walked up to him and whispered into his ear. “Don’t make any mistakes. If do, then this will be over for me and for you.” Knowing Alicia’s father’s character, the man would not simply let Aditya leave.
After walking the corridor, both of them entered the living room where they found 7 people sitting on the couch. The people who were sitting in this room were Alicia’s family. The woman who looked like she was in her 30s was Alicia’s grandmother. Despite being almost 200+ years old, the woman looked like she was only 30 years old. There wasn’t any wrinkles or any scars on her fair skin and beautiful face.
Just like everyone in the family, the woman was wearing a beautiful black Kimono. The woman appeared to be around 5 feet 8 inches. The woman had black hair that she had tied in a bun. The most noticeable thing about her face was the mole under the right side of lower her lip. Her name was Olivia and she was a beginner 4th-order cultivator.
“Hello everyone! I am sure by now everyone knows, but let me say it, this is Aditya and he is boyfriend. I have chosen him as my future partner and my husband.” The goddess held Aditya’s right and said with a smile. It was very rare experience for Aditya. Aditya was only the only person in the whole world who gets to enjoy this kind of experience.
Everyone in the room had different expressions. At this moment everyone had their eyes on Aditya. This was not the Frist time Aditya had been in a tense situation. This was also not the first time Aditya has been in a situation where he was the main focus. This is the first time in his both lives, Aditya was feeling slightly nervous under pressure. Being looked by Alicia’s entire family made Aditya feel as if he had become a child and now was being scolded by the elders.
When he met Julia’s parents, her mother and father was very kind and did not gave Aditya any pressure. But Alicia’s parents were complete opposite. Even though they haven’t said anything, just being stared made Aditya, the Dragon King, the man who is the ruler of millions of lives slightly nervous. How ironic is that?
After what it felt like an eternity had passed, Olivia, Alicia’s grandmother smiled. “Why the two of you are standing there? Come and sit here.” Olivia signaled Julia and Aditya to sit on the same couch on which she was sitting.
Hearing Olivia’s words, Ronnie, his brother and both brother’s wives were confused. ‘Mother is inviting Alicia and Aditya to sit on the couch, does that mean mother accepts Aditya as Alicia’s future husband?’ Even Ronnie wasn’t sure. When the Emperor was in front of his mother, he always felt like a child. He could never understand what his mother was thinking.
Alicia sat on Olivia’s right side. Aditya was about to sit on Alicia’s right side as he felt sitting directly next to her grandmother would be considered rude. “Aditya, you can sit on this side?” The black haired woman patted the empty space on her left side.
Aditya did not think much. He simply nodded and sat on grandmother’s left side. Meanwhile, the entire family was shocked. Even if Ronnie was the Emperor, in this house, his mother was the real Empress. To this date, he secretly took advice from his mother. Of course he did not let his son or his daughter know about it. If they knew about it, Ronnie felt he would lose his face as their father.
Everything that happened in this house has to happen under Olivia’s consent. She had invited and also had let Aditya sit next to her meant that she approved of Aditya as Alicia’s future husband. Now weather Aditya was Alicia’s real boyfriend or not, it would not matter anymore as the Emperor’s mother had decided on who is going to become his daughter’s husband.
“Boy, let me introduce everyone. This is Thomas and the one sitting next to him is his wife, Nia.” Aditya looked at Thomas who also had blond hair. Aditya felt Noah, Ronnie and Thomas had inherited this blond hair from Olivia’s husband.
Thomas was a 6 feet tall, muscular young looking man. Thomas was a Peak 3rd-order cultivator. Compared to his brother, Thomas was not so talented at cultivation. But unlike his brother, Thomas was a battle maniac. The man loved fighting. According to Alicia, Thomas met his wife in a battlefield. Both were enemies and then both fell for each other. After Thomas defeated Nia, he directly proposed.
His wife Nia was a gentle and beautiful looking woman. The woman had light green hair. The baby that was sleeping in her arms also her light green hair just like her.
“You already have met Bianca. The other two are Bianca’s sisters. The one sitting on her right side is her big sister, Norah. While the one sitting on her left side is her 3rd sister, her name is Flora.”
Norah was a beautiful woman with Peak 2nd-order cultivation base. Norah was a half-elf. Due to being Half-elf, Noah did not inherit his mother’s elf ears. Norah had long Blond hair that she tied in a bun. She was also wearing a green leaf patterned Kimono.
Flora was Alicia’s 3rd mother. The woman had short shoulder length red hair. The woman had beginner 3rd-order cultivation base. She appeared to be around 5 feet 4 inches tall. She was shorter than Norah by two inches. Alicia’s 3rd mother appeared to be also curiously looking at Aditya.
And lastly, there was Bianca. It would not be wrong to say that Alicia had inherited all of her beauty from her mother. Just like Alicia, Bianca also had black hair. The was around 6 feet 7 inches tall. She was wearing a pink Kimono that only enhanced her beauty.
“Grandma, I have question?” Aditya is not sure if his question would be considered rude especially since this was their first meeting and this question might be somewhat personal.
“What is it?” The woman named Olivia gave a gentle smile and asked.
“I wonder how did aunt found about my race. I thought no one could sense my Dragon Aura.” Aditya wasn’t sure how what to call Alicia’s mother. Alicia had instructed him to call them aunt. So he went on to call her aunt since he had not officially married Alicia. It would be more appropriate to call her just aunt.
“I can sense your Dragon Aura because of a special sensing skill.” Aditya then remembered that Alicia’s mother was a pure blood royal mermaid. Maybe being a royal mermaid gave her some skill which made her sensitive to dragon Aura.
“Also, you can just call me mother or mom or, mommy.” Seeing her teasing smile, Aditya nearly coughed out blood. He did not expect Alicia’s mother to have complete opposite character compared to her daughter.
Aditya gave a awkward smile and replied. “I think I will go with aunt for now.” Aditya was always teasing his girl but he wasn’t expecting to be teased by someone else. That is also by someone who happens to be Alicia’s mother.
“Alright, but you’re always free to call me mother or mom. I guess it will take you some time to adjust.” Since Olivia had approved of Aditya, Bianca was already seeing Aditya as her son-in-law. She had to admit it was fun to tease this young man. Judging from his reaction, it seems Aditya was still a virgin.
