It took me a few seconds to recover. I never expected Vargis to act in such a fatherly manner with me, he greatly reminded me of my biological father in this moment.
Not waiting for my response, he left with Darius in tow, intending to gather his forces.
"Future hubby…!!" Vex's whimsical, whiny tone sounded next, and she looked at me with begging puppy eyes, which she then directed toward the gate and then back to me. In this manner, she kept whimpering like an abandoned pup as her gaze traveled between me and my portal a thousand times.
It didn't take a genius to figure out what she wanted: my permission to see this mysterious settlement.
I wasn't keen on this as I still struggled to trust her fully, but the fact that she asked for my permission instead of bullying her way to get what she wanted spoke volumes of her friendly attitude toward me. I wouldn't have allowed her into my home, but perhaps Miri Town was okay.
