Nathair1: Thanks. Yeah, Clara always knows what she wants. True, but they don't want to risk anything happening. I've got something planned for that in the next few chapters.

The Emerald Commander: True. Yeah, but if I held it off any longer, I was afraid the story might grow stale. Keep reading to find out what happens.

Enjoy the next chapter.

Iruma opened his eyes and looked down to see Clara resting her head on his chest with an arm around his torso. A small smile formed across his lips as he wrapped an arm around her and rubbed her back. Hearing the door creak open, he looked up and saw Sullivan and Opera stepping into the room, "Hey grandpa, hey Opera, what's up?"

"We're here to see if you two are awake, grandson," Sullivan answered as he stepped closer to the bed.

"Oh right, Clara needs to go home today an-" Sullivan hummed and shook his head as his adopted grandson looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean no, grandpa? Clara's father is going to kill me if-"

"If she goes back to her house then you'll have to go with her, sir," Opera spoke and Iruma looked at him, "You two have completed the bond yesterday evening, thus you two are now married, and whether we send her home or allow her to live here, you two will be practically joined at the hip from now on and we thought it might be best to have your little friend live here,"

"But...but what about her parents and her siblings? I can't ask her to leave them behind an-"

"We'll send for them this afternoon," Sullivan replied, "We had a feeling you weren't going to force Clara to leave her family, so we'll be sending for them this afternoon and they'll be living here with us," Iruma nodded as Sullivan turned and walked towards the door with Opera behind him, "We'll let you and Clara rest for a bit longer, grandson," Iruma hummed and nodded as he watched the two walk out of the room, closing the door behind them before he laid back down and held Clara close and closed his eyes.

Clara, along with her brothers Keebow and Konchie and sisters Ran-Ran and Sin-Sin ran around the foyer of the mansion. Alyssa and Jack looked at Sullivan and Jack arched a brow before he asked, "Are you sure you're okay with this, Lord Sullivan?" Sullivan hummed and looked at him in confusion, "Allowing our family to live in your mansion."

"Of course, since your oldest daughter and my precious grandson completed the bond, I thought it might be better for everyone involved if Clara and Iruma were to move in together and I doubt Clara will want to leave you two or her siblings, so it isn't a problem to have you and your family staying with us in the mansion,"

"But still, thank you," Alyssa smiled as she watched her children play.

Iruma walked into his room and closed the door behind him before walking over to the bed and sat down. Hearing the door open, he looked up to see Clara stepping into the room, "Hey Iruma-kins, is everything alright?" Iruma sighed and shook his head as Clara walked over to him and sat next to him, "What's wrong? Daddy didn't hurt you after we did that so what's wrong?"

"You're a demon and I'm human, Clara," confused, Clara hummed and nodded as Iruma sighed and shook his head, "What I mean is...humans usually live anywhere between seventy to eighty years, some get lucky and live to be a hundred and that's a rare, but still-"

"Why didn't you ask those demons before they left?" Iruma looked at her as Clara frowned and rested her head on his shoulder, "Why didn't you ask them if they can find a way to make you live longer before they left, Iruma-kins?"

"I was worried your dad was going to kill me for what happened earlier," Clara moaned and pouted as Iruma wrapped an arm around her and rubbed her back, "I'm sorry I told you this, Clara, but it's probably better you learn about it sooner rather than later," Clara moaned again before lightly pushing Iruma onto the bed and laid her head on his chest, "But...my parents sold me to grandpa, so I don't think if the human mortality even applies to me,"

"Can we talk about something else, Iruma-kins? I don't want to think about my husband dying," Iruma took a deep breath and nodded as he rubbed Clara's back and held her close.

Alyssa walked into the room and stopped and smiled as she spotted Clara and Iruma sleeping on the bed in each other's arms. She walked over to them and lightly shook them awake. They sat up and Alyssa smiled, "C'mon you two, it's time for dinner,"

"Okay mommy," Clara frowned as she hung her head.

Alyssa frowned at her daughter's expression before she looked at Iruma and spoke, "Iruma, why don't you go down and wait for us? I'd like to talk to Clara in private," confused, Iruma nodded before he stood up and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Hearing the latch catch, Alyssa looked back at Clara and slightly frowned as she sat down beside her, "What's wrong, dear?"

"Iruma-kins told me how long a human lives for and...it's low mommy...and I don't want to lose Iruma-kins, mommy," Alyssa frowned as she patted the top of her daughter's head, "Why did Iruma-kins have to be human, mommy?"

"It'll be fine, Clara," Alyssa assured, "For now let's join the others for dinner, and I promise everything will be okay, okay?" Clara moaned and nodded before the two of them stood up and walked out of the room.

Please enjoy this simple bit.
