The Inheritance Of The Supreme Immortals
Chapter 75: Chapter 75: A New Alliance - 3

"...Um," Ava seemed to want to say something, but her face betrayed hesitation. It didn't escape her older sisters' eyes.

"Is something on your mind, Ava?" Helena asked.

"I want to get close to my nephew. I think I somehow developed a bad impression of him when we first met, but I now realize it was wrong, and I want to correct that mistake now."

"Hehe, don't worry about that. When it comes to Sam's heart, it's always food. Just cook him something delicious; he will open up to you like a book," Helena chuckled at her younger sister.

"Is it that easy?"

"Yes, I remember this one time when he was little, he asked me to take him somewhere outside, but I was busy with something. So, I told him that I would bring him outside some other time. He got angry at me and didn't speak to me for two hours. Then, I cooked him his favorite dish in hopes of getting him to speak to me, and it worked.

That's how I found out this way to compromise with him," Lorraine felt nostalgic goosebumps hitting her hard.

"Sigh... now that I think about it, he has always been more like a son to me than a nephew," Lorraine gazed at Sam with a warm smile.

Following their gaze, the remaining two sisters also looked at Sam with warm expressions.

As if sensing their eyes, Sam found them looking at him strangely. 'Why is their affection suddenly rising out of the blue? What happened?'

He was confused; his divine power showed him that their love for him had significantly increased, especially from Ava, his second aunt, whom he hadn't had a chance to spend much time with.

Then he turned his eyes back to King Shun, who finally reorganized his thoughts and opened his mouth to give his answer to Adriana's offer.

But he didn't immediately provide his response; instead, he turned his attention to the woman in question. "Yuna, my daughter, would you be willing to marry this young man?"

"...I'm willing," Yuna replied timidly, bringing a handsome smile to Sam's face.

King Shun nodded with a smile, then turned his attention back to the matriarch. "But before we finalize our alliance, I have something to ask of your grandson, matriarch."

Adriana rolled her eyes, "What more could you want?"

King Shun smiled helplessly, then focused his gaze on Sam. "Boy, I get it. You're probably the most talented person in the entire realm. You already have three women if you count in my daughter, and from the looks of it, I'm sure there will be more in the future. I just ask you to promise me that you will always treat my daughter equally and love her the same."

As a king, his kingdom came first, but as a father, his daughter came first. Right now, he was asking this of Sam not as a king but as a loving father.

Yuna looked at Sam expectantly, hoping to know where she stands in his harem. She just wished to receive a share of love in the near future.

"Your Highness, let me share a core facet of who I am. When a woman decides to marry me, she doesn't just become my wife; she willingly becomes a vital part of my very essence. I will shower her with affection so deep that it goes beyond ordinary limits, and she becomes forever intertwined with every aspect of who I am.

I'll pamper her, ensuring she's spoiled, and I'll never allow her to leave, even if she wishes to."

Sam saw that King Shun was looking at him strangely, like he was some kind of nutjob, but he didn't care. He turned his gaze to Yuna herself. "If you are willing to be mine, then I will be yours."

"...Y-Yes," Yuna said in a mosquito voice with a red face.

Sam smiled with excitement evident in his eyes, but Yuna could swear that she saw pink-colored love hearts appearing in the place of his eyelids.

"It's settled then," Adriana clapped, getting their attention. "Our alliance is officially formed. Well, if you think about it, you are not just getting the backing of the Hailstorm clan but also the Flareheart clan and Scarlett Vampire clan."

"It is," King Shun nodded as he looked at his daughter.

After realizing what kind of life she would have with Sam, Yuna couldn't keep her eyes off of him. It's like something inside her finally set her free.

It felt like she found the thing that she had been searching for her whole life, like her life just got complete. She felt complete herself.

After that, Adriana and King Shun had a very serious political discussion where they talked about various matters regarding their newly formed alliance.

They also discussed Sam's relationship with Yuna, just like how Adriana did with Count Nicholas.

It was decided that Yuna's betrothal to Sam would be officially announced.

Announcing Yuna's betrothal to Sam to the world was another way of saying that the Hailstorm clan was supporting King Shun and his faction of the Fulmine clan.

As for Amelia's betrothal to Sam, it would be announced once Sam beats Tomas Wichura in battle.

"Matriarch Hailstorm, if I may, can I ask you to keep my daughter with you until I resolve the matters of my clan and kingdom?" King Shun requested.

"Of course, she is my granddaughter-in-law. For her, this is nothing but a small thing," Adriana smiled at Yuna, making her blush hard.

King Shun took his daughter's hand and said to her secretly, "Listen, my daughter, take this opportunity and spend some time with him. Get to know him. If you don't like him, just tell me, and I will break off this engagement. You have nothing to worry about."

"Father, for some reason, I feel like he is the best partner I could ask for. I don't think he will make me regret this arrangement ever," Yuna said, not knowing why she was feeling this way.

King Shun was taken aback. He observed her face, trying to replace anything unusual that might be the cause of his daughter's unusual change of attitude. His daughter was usually cold and unimpressed, not one to be easily convinced. Hearing these words from her made him think that something must be wrong with his daughter.

"If you say so, Yuna, I trust you," and with that, King Shun left.

Just as he crossed the door, similar to Count Nicholas, Sam had sent a shadow soldier into his shadow. 'With this, I will also learn about everything happening with Qilins and Lumin Kingdom. Now that he has become my father-in-law, I have to look out for him if he is in any danger. The Lord of the Abyss will always look out for him from the shadows.'
