In the lively streets of Eikoln City, Kayblis was walking towards one of the food shops, where seafood was abundant.

"Krusty Shells, hm? Ah, I haven't even tried eating seafood, and I'm already hungry! Though, to be honest, Eikoln City was larger than I thought." He commented, patting his belly before moving towards the said store.

But, before he could get any closer, someone approached him from behind.

"Hm? Oh it's you, Knight General Lock. What do you need?"

"L-L-Lord Ka-Ka-Ka-Kayblis... I... eh... uh..." He seemed to stutter, becoming an flustering embarrassed mess and was unable to finish what he was supposed to ask.

Kayblis had already figured out that Lock and his daughter were dating frequently, so he decided to cut to the chase with a small grin.

"You wanted permission to marry my daughter, don't you? For now, let's discuss that inside the restaurant, I'm already getting hungry and a little impatient." He gestured, opening the door to the restaurant with Lock regaining a bit of composure by slapping himself on the face hard and then following him inside.

The doorbell rang once the door opened, making the owner of the restaurant look at Kayblis and Lock with awe, and when Kayblis looked at him, the owner lowered his head in respect.

The God of All Lis ordered a few servings, just for him and Lock, before telling the owner to not hurry or the food he'll serve would not be on his likings. The owner wasn't scared at all, rather, he was relieved.

Then, Kayblis and Lock sat at the opposite chairs, waiting for the seafood to be cooked.

"Well then, let's start with one thing first." Kayblis said, looking straight towards Lock with intense seriousness which made the said Knight General to focus on him.

"Are you willing to take responsibility, as a soon-to-be husband to my daughter? Will you treat your future children as if they really are your children?" He asked, removing the embarrassment that Lock the 31st originally had.

He was deep in thought,

"Of course. As a Knight of Eikoln, I shall not disappoint."

Kayblis leaned back on his chair after nodding his head. Lock was being genuine, as he gestured with his closed fist on his chest. But, just to make sure...

"I see. You sure you're doing this out of love and not for fame?"

"Always has been, Lord Kayblis."

Then, a waited approached them and put a few plates containing freshly cooked dishes of seashells and seafood. Seeing this, Kayblis' focus was now on the food.

"After this, I'll help you with dating my daughter. If anything I consider really bad and irreparable happens between you both, you're gonna pay."

Lucia and Lock were holding each other's hands, looking at the event that was about to happen.

"Lock. Thou shalt stay with me, and I shall stay with thou. You are mine, I am yours, in terms of becoming husband and wife soon."

"Yeah. Of course."

Lock looked around, and found out that Kayblis was on the rooftop of a nearby building, raising a sign that has "Do it." written on it while he raised a peace sign with a massive, carefree grin.

The knight general lightly sighed, before pulling out a box.

Noticing this, Lucia also pulled out her own box.

Each box, when opened, had contained similar golden rings.

Once they each wore their rings, Lucia hunched over and kissed her soon-to-be husband, followed by the sound of fireworks coming off not far away.

On the rooftop, Kayblis smiled towards the both of them.

"Ah... she's truly matured..." He commented, before looking at the lightshow that were the fireworks.

"I guess I've changed my mind for a quick moment. I'm going to actually start managing Eikoln once again in 500 years, however I will not abuse my power over All Lis. Plus, I still have a war to end else it would get worser." He told himself, before looking at the direction where Eikoln Castle was.

These weeks were times to rest, yet he knew that a big attack would happen either on Eikoln or Dracorell.

He sighed.

"Ugh... Damn, I'm not sure about this but... based on what Lucia told me, Dracorell and Eikoln had a harsh relationship towards each other and it was indirectly caused by me. Haaah, what a drag, I would have to do something about Dracorell soon."
