Chapter 156: Awkward Morning
-Elias' POV-
Rose wasn't in my arms this morning. Of course, we weren't able to sleep in the same bed since her father forbids it, but I still liked having her close. Based on what she said last night, she seems to long for the same. I got up and got dressed, I walked out of my room and made it to the dining room. Before opening the door voices could be heard. Everyone was up it seemed, conversing and eating at the table.
Dawson: "Elias you're right on time, breakfast was just served."
I went to an empty chair next to Dawson. The three of us other worlders sat on the opposite side of the table as Leon and his family as well as Sylphy sat on the other. I looked and watched Leon look sweetly down at Luna, then my eyes went to Rose talking to Sylphy.
Luna: "Oh, that's right Elias you were never introduced to Princess Sylphy yet, were you..?"
Elias: "We didn't formally introduce ourselves to one another. But I heard about her from princess Rose after Princess Sylphy popped up out of nowhere on us..."
Sylphy: "I wouldn't say I popped up, I was minding my own business when I stumbled upon you... Well, you and Rose that is, having your romantic time."
Rose was drinking some water but after hearing that she started coughing.
Leon: "What do you mean romantic...?"
Elias: "It wasn't anything as..."
I tried easing the situation but Jessica spoke over me.
Jessica: "Oooh I want to know too.."
Dawson: "Yea you didn't tell us you were seeing her romantically, all you said was that you helped rehabilitate her."
Jessica: "Now that I think about it that sounds like something straight out of a romance novel, the dashing man rescues the sweet girl from danger and ends up easing her through recovery. Seeing how protective and caring he is she falls for him."
Jessica was speaking as if in her own world, looking off and dramatically moving her hands. Everyone was looking at her after she finished speaking.
Luna: "That actually sounds like what happened exactly; isn't it sweet?."
Elias: "Okay I hope you guys enjoy your breakfast, I'm leaving.."
Leon: "Sit back down..!"
I sat instinctually and looked at him.
Leon: "I don't keep watch over the two of you and go and do something without my..."
Luna pinched his side and he looked at her.
Luna: "Cut them some slack, just look at how they act around each other."
Leon's eyes moved towards me, I looked at Rose at the same time her face blushing made me blush much the same and I looked down at the plate in front of me.
She moved closer and spoke for only him to hear.
Luna: "I remember when we were that way. And you were just like Elias back then, being sweet and caring. Don't you wish for our daughter to have such a sweet love story?."
Leon blushed slightly his eyes closed and he seemed to get a crinkle on his forehead. As if he was sternly thinking about something.
Elias: "Demon King, I know you don't like it but your daughter and I are a couple, and I agree with you that marriage isn't close by, and I'll ask you for your blessing when the time comes, but I do hope that you at least accept our relationship."
Leon: "Sigh, fight me."
His gaze was quite intense.
Rose/Luna: "What.?."
Leon: "Sigh, I've seen you fight, but I would like to gauge your true strength. When you guys attacked, I wouldn't say we were on an even playing field."
