<h4>Chapter 1388: the battle of the swift, the race to book him for the meet the parents event</h4>
Ansullivan Dragonar Academy, student council room.
"That is how it is."
Wu Yan rubbed his aching temple. He was just done reading reports of reconstruction efforts and other hups. Now, he has to brief the other teams on what to do next.
He sat down after giving a summary of the next milestone to achieve.
"Anyway, we are looking at about 10 days before we can resume ss at diminished capacity. It is high time we set the date for the school''s reopening."
"Yes!"
Ash cheered first.
"I couldn''t get used to sleeping in a hotel. I miss sses."
"Good job, Rowan..."
Reba praised.
"With you around, the school''s reconstruction really sped up."
"Nah, I didn''t do all the work."
"La, Silvia, and Ash contributed greatly too. I can''t take all the credit. Special mention goes to La for sticking by me all these while."

La lowered her head in dejection.
"s, I can''t stay with Lord Rowan anymore."
"Well."
Wu Yan tried to assure her.
"I am sure we can find the chance."
La brightened up after Wu Yan gave her an encouraging hint like that.
The others missed out on this secret verbal promise much to Wu Yan''s relief.
Only Ash knows about La and Wu Yan staying together.
If the other girls found out, Wu Yan isn''t sure what they would do to him.
At least, the longer he can hide this, the better...
"You helped me out, I couldn''t thank you enough for filling in while I am gone."
Reba apologized to Wu Yan.
"As the school president, my long absence is rather unsightly."
"No, President, don''t say that!"
Ash tried to cheer her up.
"You had your own things to attend to. Look, Eco is the one who should be saying sorry, she did absolutely jack sh-"
<i>Bam</i>
Ash howled in pain when something hard and heavy hit his shin under the table.
"Hmph."
Eco, the culprit, continued to drink tea like it was nobody''s business.
"Reba, how about your side?"
Wu Yan asked.
"What did the royals and nobles have to say about the Necromantia siege? Are there simr urrences elsewhere?"
"I am troubled too."
"I already told them in vivid detail what transpired. I also made my case at the city council. I don''t know how to interpret the answer they gave me."
"Hmm?"
Wu Yan couldn''t ignore this.
"Go on."
"Well..."
Reba continued.
"I think you should hear it from them when you reach Ferdiand capital."
"Lord Rowan..."
La & co were confused.
"Why are you going to the capital?"
"Nah."
Wu Yan denied.
"I am not."
"What is going on?"
Reba tilted her head.
"Then, why did the royal family say <i>that</i>?"
The others were just as puzzled as Reba.
Silvia meekly raised her hand.
"A-Actually, I can exin..."
"Hmm?"
With all eyes on her, she felt a bit tense.
"You know what this is about?"
Wu Yan asked.
"Did you receive news from them?"
"E-Erm..."
Silvia''s red face and averted gaze only served to confuse them further.
The members knew about her recent mncholic episode.
They didn''t ask her because she appeared to be hellbent on keeping it bottled up.
With her usual personality back, she must have solved her internal turmoil.
The others smiled.
"You can tell us at your own pace."
Wu Yan poured her a cup of tea.
"Here, have some tea."
"Thanks..."
Silvia sipped from the cup. She roamed her gaze over everyone before mustering up enough courage to say what is on her mind.
"Actually, my father, the king wants to meet Rowan."
The room turned silent.
"Eh?!"
They gasped.
"He wants to meet me?"
"Is this... <i>that g</i>?"
Ash suggested.
"The "meet her parents" thing?!"
"Huh?!"
Wu Yan didn''t see thising.
"Meet the parents?!"
La subconsciously grabbed Wu Yan''s arm.
"Y-You can''t!"
"I can''t?!"
Silvia tensed up, this time, it wasn''t embarrassment. She didn''t expect the protest from La.
"Why not?"
"Because..."
La snapped with tears at the corners of her eyes.
"I-If he is going to meet anyone, he is going to have to meet my adoptive father first! He has to visit my vige first!"
"What are you talking about?!"
Silvia is a bit peeved now.
"Ignoring a royal summon and going to another ce, you expect me to ept this?!"
La isn''t backing down.
"In love, identity matters not."
"Huh?!"
Silvia also roared.
"I-I am not using my identity to get love!"
"Then, firste, first served!"
La hugged Wu Yan''s arm.
"Lord Rowan,e to the Elbaff vige with me."
"You..."
Silvia''s index finger trembled as she pointed at the two student council members.
"I-I don''t even know what is going on anymore."
Wu Yan asked Reba for help.
"Pres, mind saving me here?"
"Nuh-uh, I get where thesedies areing from."
Reba continued.
"Truthfully, my family also told me to bring you home. They said they wanted to meet you."
"Even Reba!"
La couldn''t believe her ears.
"N-No way..."
Silvia is flustered now.
"Tell me what is going on?!"
Wu Yan yelled.
"I never heard of these ns before?!"
"Because I thought I wouldn''t have to say it."
Reba smiled ambiguously.
"I made you my bodyguard, conferred the Randall surname on you, and you defeated the strongest Arch Dragonar known as Captain Urs. Needless to say, my family wants to meet you very badly. I am sure they are concocting various ns to bag you so I thought I should spare you the trouble."
"Ah, I see."
Wu Yan, Silvia, and La sighed in relief.
A little too soon, perhaps.
"But, ignoring what my family has to say or do, I am personally of the opinion that I should bring you home to meet my parents."
Reba ced her stakes on the table too.
"In any case, you''re the only guy who made my heart race."
Silvia and La''s internal rms went off while Wu Yanughed wryly.
