By the time Hinari realized that the man wasn’t wearing any disguise, she looked at him with extremely confused gaze.

What’s going on? He’s not wearing any mask? But...

Looking at her extremely puzzled face, Zaki could only sigh before he messed her hair again.

"Little girl, stop playing around now---"

"But, how did you know I’m always wearing red lipstick?"

"Who do you think am I? Grandpa talked about you once so of course, I searched a bit to see what kind of girl you are." He said, causing the girl’s eyes to narrow as soon as she heard him.

Seeing her reaction, Zaki spoke again. "Now tell me little pervert... tell me the real reason why you’re against the marriage and I’ll gladly consider your request."

"I already told you right? My heart already belongs to someone." She replied, causing Zaki to stood and he was about to leave when the girl grabbed his hand again.

"Okay, I’ll say it. I’ll say it. But you have to promise me first." She added with firm and serious voice.

That moment, as he looked at the absence of the usual mischievous expression in her face, Zaki somehow could tell she’s finally getting serious.

"Okay, you have my word." He then said and the girl let go of his hand as she leaned back on the couch.

"I don’t want to get bound with anything else. I just wanted to live my life freely." She said and as he heard her brief but firm and straightforward answer Zaki didn’t know but he could only do nothing but smile upon hearing her. The sudden strange intensity and determination in her eyes made him somehow heaved a long sigh of relief.So you just wanted to be free, huh... not bad miss pervert, you really are something...

"Okay, I get it. Rest assured I won’t go against the engagement until you say so." He then said with serious tone that made the girl just looked at him speechless. "You don’t have to worry. Just live your life the way you wanted." he continued and he just gently ruffled her hair again as he smiled before he suddenly turned his back and started walking away. Causing the girl to just blinked as he watched him leaving.

’What a coincidence miss pervert, I think we really are the perfect opposite of each other. I am already bound so you should just stay free as you are... don’t worry, I’ll make sure you could fly freely however you want...’ Zaki whispered to himself as he continued smiling.That moment, Zaki somehow felt relieved, at the same time, strangely pleased. It was because, he knew from the beginning that sooner or later, his adoptive parent will start nagging him about this since they can never do it with Sei. So now that it actually happened much sooner and bolder as he thought, he felt a bit troubled on how he could decline their wishes and how to deal with the girl if she ended up being a stage five clingy and troublesome.

Well, to Zaki, as long as Sei was still in danger, he could never afford to get distracted by anything else. That was why, somehow, he was glad that his fiance was an interesting girl who was not a robot who’s just obeying orders. He felt relieved that he does not need to do anymore troublesome matters. Somehow, he was glad that his fiancée ended up being her.

...

The moment Zaki stepped out of the living room, huge invisible sweat drops just appeared on his forehead. It was because he could now feel the extremely cold aura filled with impatience coming from the man standing like a statue near the entrance.

Er... this guy, I only made you wait for just some few minutes okay? Sigh...

"Did---" Zaki was about to ask him if he already said goodbye to their parent when suddenly, the man just started striding towards the entrance like a little kid who couldn’t just wait any longer. Causing Zaki to just shrugged his shoulder before he hastily caught up with him, until they finally entered a car and left the old castle.

And while the car was speeding towards the airport, Zaki called his grandfather to tell him they already left. And after a handful of scolding, the call finally ended.

"Sigh... Sei, can I beg you to just go and quickly make a baby with your wife? If you won’t they’ll just keep doing anything to create some trouble for me, do you get my situation?" Zaki said but the man just remained quiet for a long while before he finally talked."Why? Didn’t you solve it already?" he blankly said causing Zaki to just sigh again.

"Well, I’m just lucky this time I guess. It’s because all she wanted was freedom that this turned out quite well."

"Good for you."

"Oi... I don’t need such words from you. All I want to hear from you are the words like ’my wife is pergnant’ did you hear me?!"
