Although Rudius had anticipated this answer, he was still somewhat disappointed to hear Roja's simple and straightforward rejection.
"but."
Roya changed the subject, saying, "If you want to ride it, I can lend it to you. This little guy is absolutely loyal to me."
Rudius was overjoyed, his delight evident on his face.
"Really?"
Roya's expression was somewhat strange. He couldn't quite understand Rudius's attitude. Riding a dragon was indeed cool, but was it really necessary to be so excited? Roya thought for a moment and asked, "What are you planning to do?"
After hesitating for a moment, Rudius said to Roya, "I want to show it to Sylphie."
Roya's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything about Rudius's behavior.
Got it. The little guy wants to pick up girls and deepen his relationship. Rudius thinks the Crimson Dragon is pretty good. It's equivalent to a Rolls-Royce in his previous life. In every aspect, it's incredibly high-class.
We're all men, so those who know, know, but I still have to remind you of what needs to be reminded.
Luo Ya said, "The little guy has a bad temper. You'll have to find a way to get along with him. Although I can control him so he won't hurt you, you still need to manage the relationship well if you want a good experience."
Rudius looked like he was humbly accepting instruction, leaving Roya speechless.
Feeling the icy airflow brush against his cheeks, the villages below turned into black dots. The red dragon waved its black and red dragon wings, stirring up a large amount of airflow.
Looking down at the world from above offers a unique experience, especially when you're flying at high speed.
A strange emotion surged within Rudius: the world was so vast, and even he could do something about it.
Ignoring the lost thoughts of Rudius, Roya yawned and looked ahead with some boredom.
Thanks to the Red Dragon, the journey that would normally take a day was completed in just one hour.
The red dragon circled in the sky for a while, looking for a place to land.
Because it was a red dragon, it was afraid of disturbing other villagers, so it chose to stop in the nearby mountains and forests.
In fact, with a body as large as the Red Dragon, one can easily notice what needs to be noticed if one pays a little attention.
As the red dragon landed, Roya jumped down from its spine with Rudius. Roya patted the red dragon and channeled some of his magic into its body. The red dragon shuddered and nuzzled Roya again to show its affection.
Roya didn't say much, and led Rudius toward Paul's house.
Paul was the lord of the village. The village wasn't small, but being a rural area, it wasn't particularly wealthy. The surrounding villagers were just honest, hardworking farmers who relied on Paul's protection for survival.
Paul's life was not exactly frugal. Although he couldn't be as wealthy as the Grellatt family, he had no problem with food and shelter, and supporting his family was easy.
Of course, this can only be considered a comfortable life. When it comes to places where a lot of money is needed, Paul can only shrug and indicate that his family is penniless.
Because it is autumn, the rice ears have grown and farmers are harvesting them. All you can see along the way are busy farmers.
Golden rice ears swayed in the autumn wind in the fields, but Luo Ya looked at them without finding them particularly interesting.
When I was a child, I saw it every day. Even though it was all golden yellow, after a while, the novelty wore off, and I didn't think much of it anymore.
Walking along the path in the middle, Luo Ya still remembered the way home; she had just returned not long ago.
After walking for less than half an hour, Luo Ya had already found his home.
In the courtyard, a girl with cherry-pink hair and grass-green ends was teasing two girls.
The young girl was beautiful and had a charming figure. She was wearing a pink dress and was smiling as she played with two other girls.
Who else could this be but Kanroji Mitsuri?
Chapter 248 Family Meeting
The warm and harmonious scene made Luo Ya happy, and the corners of Luo Ya's mouth turned up, with a faint smile on his face.
Rudius looked bewildered as he gazed at the girl playing with the two children across from him. He looked at his own yard, then at the pear tree in front of the door, confirming once again that it was indeed his own courtyard.
So, who are these three people?
Why would it appear at my own doorstep?
Rudius's astonishment did not affect Roya. In a sense, people's joys and sorrows are not shared. Rudius felt a little confused, while Roya felt quite happy.
Ignoring Rudius, Roya walked behind Kanroji Mitsuri and quietly approached her.
Aisha saw Roya's actions clearly. Aisha blinked, and a sly smile appeared on her still-childish face. Noren noticed Aisha's expression and followed her gaze, only to see Roya, who was about to do something wicked.
Noren realized what was happening and was about to tattle, but Aisha stopped him.
Kanroji Mitsuri noticed the unusual behavior of the two and, somewhat puzzled, asked curiously, "Is there something strange behind me?"
Kanroji Mitsuri turned her head slightly, and a strong hand had already wrapped around her waist.
Kanroji Mitsuri looked surprised and instinctively tried to break free.
Kanroji Mitsuri is very strong, but to the dragon-blooded boy, that's about it.
Unable to break free, Kanroji Mitsuri wasn't angry. Sensing the familiar presence, she said irritably, "Roya, it's you, isn't it? Honestly, why do you always like to tease people like this?"
Luo Ya chuckled and said, "Who told you to be so cute?"
Because his younger sister was watching, Luo Ya only hugged her briefly and didn't do anything too outrageous.
Senis poked her head out of the window, looking at the four people below with some surprise, and said, "Hey, Roya, you're back?"
Senis was naturally delighted by the arrival of her family. At first glance, she only saw Roya and Kanroji Mitsuri. But then, glancing out of the corner of her eye, she saw Rudeus standing not far away and exclaimed in surprise, "Rudeus, you're back too?"
Ludius, standing to the side, scratched his head, looking somewhat bewildered.
Upon hearing Senis's words, Aisha and Norren both looked in the direction of Rudius, their faces filled with curiosity.
Rudius opened his mouth, wanting to give his two younger sisters a hug, but looking at the two girls who had grown up, he hesitated to give them the hug.
In the end, Rudius simply said, "Noren, Aisha, it's been a long time. Do you remember me?"
Rudius did feel a bit awkward, which was normal, given that they hadn't seen each other for so long.
Aisha glanced at Rudius, then at Senis standing on the windowsill. Her little head clicked, and she instantly understood something. She ran towards Rudius, reached out her hand, and led Rudius to the front of the group.
Rudius felt the warmth from his hand, and the bewilderment on his face faded, replaced by a smile.
Norren was still a little shy; it was a girl's nature, and she couldn't act as maturely as Aisha in front of Rudius.
Rudius smiled, reached out and touched Aisha's fiery red hair, and said with emotion, "Aisha has grown up so much already? Norren too. I remember when I held you when you were little, you were both so tiny."
After speaking, Rudius gestured as if reminiscing about the past.
Kanroji Mitsuri looked at Rudius, then at Roya, and asked, "Is this your younger brother?"
"Yes, his name is Ludius, and he is my brother."
Roya readily admitted it, then patted Rudius on the shoulder and said to his two younger sisters, "Rudius, you are my second brother. Just call me brother from now on."
"Brother," Aisha called out first, and Norren hesitated for a moment before timidly calling out as well.
Senis looked at the joyful scene below and smiled.
Senis is having a good time lately; taking care of a child is indeed quite troublesome.
Compared to Roya and Rudius, Aisha and Norren were extremely troublesome when they were young, leaving Senis, who had almost zero experience in raising children, feeling overwhelmed.
What? You're saying Roja and Rudius aren't children?
Can two time travelers be the same?
Senis even felt that she had aged a lot during this time.
However, when Roya brought Kanroji Mitsuri home, Senis breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Mitsuri Kanroji loves children very much. Perhaps because she also has younger siblings at home, she is very skilled at taking care of other children and quickly became close friends with Aisha and Noren.
The key to getting along with children is not to treat them like children, but to treat them as friends.
Paul and Senis were naturally pleased that their daughter-in-law got along so well with their youngest daughter.
What worried Senis was that, according to Mitsuri Kanroji, her son seemed to have several partners outside.
Because of religious reasons, Senis strictly adhered to monogamy. Although Paul had an affair, it did not come without consequences, as evidenced by the sharp decline in Paul's status within the family.
In fact, Senis was mentally prepared for the possibility that Paul might cheat on her.
Having been in the team for so many years, Senis knew Paul better than anyone what kind of person he was; she just hadn't expected time to pass so quickly.
However, Senis was initially very angry to see her son following in Paul's footsteps, but when she asked Kanroji Mitsuri for her opinion, Kanroji Mitsuri seemed indifferent.
Kanroji Mitsuri has a simple mind; she feels that as long as she can get Roa's love, that's enough.
The more Mitsuri Kanroji acted this way, the more Senis felt sorry for her daughter-in-law and wanted to find an opportunity to teach Roya a lesson.
The idea was good, but unfortunately, Roya didn't give her the chance.
Now that Roya has brought Rudius home for a visit, Senis feels she should give Roya a little talking-to.
However, after witnessing the harmonious scene between the couple, she couldn't help but fall silent.
Is it really that important to give Roya a talking-to?
Senis sighed deeply, closed the window, and called downstairs, "Paul, Roya and Rudius are back. Why don't you go and see them?"
Soon, Paul's voice came from downstairs: "Is he back? Wait, is Ludius back too? Never mind, I'll go out and check."
