37 The Old Man speaks up (1/2)

”That's what I thought.” Saito replied back. He knew from the start that almost all that happened here would happen. He knew that he had to get the facts straight with these people or with their self-righteous thoughts, they would keep on thinking that they were right and everyone else was wrong.

”Edwin… Have you really married?” It was Chloe who asked him in a soft voice, this surprised the council members because they didn't think that Chloe would ask him about this.

Saito replied back almost immediately, ”Yes… I am happily married.” He turned towards her and sucked a breath of cold air as he saw a beautiful woman.

She had a very cute face. Her Brown hairs were very long and she seemed to keep them tied in a ponytail. Her eyes were completely pure Black. And, her bust size was somewhat smaller than Lyra's bust. However, they seemed a lot firmer than Lyra's breasts. She was wearing a clothing which revealed some of her cleavage, the curve of her hipline was just perfect to stimulate him. Her body was simply perfect from all angles to a man.

He showed off his ring to Chloe and gave her a smile. Suddenly, an old man who remained quiet and observed as the council proceeded starts speaking, ”Hudson, sit down now. This child is right in his own way. This was our fault so we paid for it.”

Saito was surprised to see the old man speaking up for him. He was a little cautious against the old man because there was no free lunch in the world. If he was being nice, it meant that either he required something from him, he was genuinely nice or he was going to create a trap for him.

The Old man turned his head, ”Hero Edwin, I believe you did not come here to curse the Union or the council. From the way you spoke, it seems that you firmly believe that there is no reason to punish you, you hold your beast in high regard which I certainly respect about you. I have a Lava Horse; I can understand how you feel about your beast.”

Saito nodded his head, and started speaking, ”Indeed. I never came here with the intention to fight against the Union. I was just irritated that you all were slandering me when all I did was react to your actions.”

”I want to live here in the City of Zleka as a member of the Union. Of course, I will do the missions for the Union and contribute a lot. However, my bottom line is that my wife and my pets are not to be touched.” He spoke very calmly now, he thought that the old man was someone reasonable.

The old man nodded his head and says, ”Very well. I can agree to those demands. They aren't very excessive but I would like to ask about your wife. What is her identity? I do not believe we have a record of her in the Union.”

Saito narrowed his eyes at those questions 'Does that mean the Union has the record of every single human in this kingdom?'

Saito though lied quickly with a calm look, ”She lived together with her parents outside the city. After her parents were killed by a beast, she ran for her safety and encountered me by chance. I saved her and after we confirmed our feelings for each other, a month later, we confessed to each other and married.”

Saito made sure to make the lie as believable as possible by adding parts of truths within his story. The old man nodded his head signifying that he understood his story.

He definitely didn't plan to tell them that Lyra was princess of the elves. It was unknown what they would do to her if they come to know about this information.

The old man looked at everyone and said, ”The meeting is adjourned. You all can go now except for Hudson. I have to talk to you about something.”
