Chapter 496 Unfinished Business?

"Azu…do you really have to leave?" Felia asked with watery eyes as she grabbed the ends of his sleeves. She was elated to see him return with her Allmother but was saddened to learn he was leaving right away without even staying for a day.

Not only her but the rest of the fairies and pixies had all gathered around after learning that their savior was going back to his home even though he had just returned.

They knew the Spirit Guardian had answered their prayers, but their Allmother also told them how much pain and hardship Viktor went through to save them all and their home.

This was why they felt immense gratitude towards him even though he wasn't the one who returned their fruit.

It was the fact that he tried so hard that mattered to them the most and made them all feel moved.

Even the mischievous ones like Miri, Pina, Uria, and the others thanked him profusely for going to such far lengths to try and save them. They never expected a stranger to show so much kindness towards them, considering the history they had learned.

From their history, they all had learned that most of the people outside would try and take advantage of them, and this was also why they respected Seraphina's decision to not wander outside the realm on their own.

They also, by now, learned from Seraphina that he preferred to be called 'Azu' even though Viktor really didn't mind if they called him by his present name.

Viktor felt a bit overwhelmed when surrounded by so many stunning ethereal beauties, begging him to stay for at least a while longer. If he had to be honest, this was like one of his dreams come true, where he was a king among a land of beautiful maidens only or something along those lines.

But he was no longer a free wandering soul with no attachments. He had people waiting for him back on Earth and would probably be asking him a lot of questions as well.

"I know this sucks, even for me, but I promise…I will be back sooner than all of you expect. Okay?" Viktor said and then added as he gave a knowing smile at Seraphina, "Besides, your Allmother and I have so much unfinished business. Isn't that right, my queen?"

Seraphina's cheeks blushed, knowing what this mischievous immortal was hinting at. She could only meekly nod as her daughters wondered what kind of business was left unfinished.

Of course, Miri was the first one to fly up and ask, "What kind of business? Count me in too. I don't want to let our Allmother carry all the burden alone while we enjoy ourselves."

Before Seraphina could even tell Miri to calm down, the others followed suit, including Felia.

"Count me in too. I might not be of much help, but I will try my best," Felia innocently said with sparks in her eyes.

"Count us in too!"

"Yes. We all will help with this unfinished business together," The other fairies and pixies said together, sounding like a chorus.

Viktor couldn't help but clear his throat as he looked at an overwhelmed Seraphina with an amused smile, "That only your Allmother can decide."

Seraphina's face was pink red, not expecting her daughters to misunderstand the situation like this.

But hearing Viktor's words, she timidly lifted her gaze and said, "E-Everyone, calm down. I know how much you all want to help, but…Let's first discuss some things first, and then you all and Azu can decide if…if…you all want to take part in this."

"Eh?" Viktor had a look of disbelief as he looked at Seraphina, not expecting her to basically give him the green light.

He previously only said it as a joke and didn't expect her to consider it seriously. Should he correct this convenient misunderstanding or go along with it since Seraphina surprisingly doesn't seem uncomfortable with that idea.

Viktor couldn't really guess Seraphina's thought process since she seemed surprisingly okay with the potential idea of him and her daughters getting to 'know' each other better.

He definitely had to evaluate and learn how supernatural beings think and their way of life.

But Viktor had no idea that the real reason wasn't as complicated as he thought.

Seraphina had finally found someone she could trust her life with and someone who loved her with all his heart. She felt that someone like Azu was very rare and wouldn't take advantage of them.

Since she already knew so much about him and what kind of man he exactly was, she felt that maybe her daughters would also like to get closer to him.

Of course, she would let them decide if they really wanted to after she told them about what this "unfinished business" really was about. If they were okay with it and Azu also didn't mind, then she would let fate take care of the rest.

She was anyway going to announce the granting of the title 'Fairy King' to Azu since she considered him her better half and someone worthy to be the king of this realm as well.

But she didn't tell Viktor about this now since she wanted it to be a pleasant surprise the next time he visited here.

Hearing the words of their Allmother, all of the fairies and pixies smiled in happiness and excitement, not knowing what they truly signed up for.

So their eyes cleared up, knowing that Azu would be back soon, and bid him farewell as Seraphina sent him back to Earth.

Viktor had asked Seraphina to beam him to a deserted place so that people over there wouldn't ask questions or think some alien activity was going on if he suddenly teleported in the middle of a populated street or something like that.

And just as he requested, Seraphina teleported him to a desert-like area without any soul in sight.

"Oh…this is really deserted…" Viktor mumbled as he couldn't spot anything for dozens of miles on either side.
