Chapter 221: Big sister
Alex wanted to speak with Sara first.
He knew that it must have been too much shock for the dullahan momma. She had always believed in her father, hoping that he would at least atone for his sins and fix his relationships.
Out of all dullahans, Sara's heart was the warmest. She also shouldered too much responsibility as she was a daughter of the human king and the dullahan princess. Then, she was chased by the whole race, which was a mistake on their side.
Alex wanted to shoulder those responsibilities with her.
He found her in one of the tallest towers within the castle. It was also one of Celia's hiding spots; to be precise, her third favorite hiding spot. Sara sat atop the tower, her legs crossed with no ground below her.
One push forward, and she would fly!
"I'm fine, Alex," Sara said while feeling Alex's presence. After sitting next to her, Sara took his hand, conveying her state. She wasn't trembling, nor was she cold. She was the usual dullahan momma, just lost in thoughts.
Alex stared at the dark sky and mountains ahead. Many challenges awaited them behind those as the soul grave-keeper surely would use his subordinates to force Alex and Deathwill Sisters' growth.
He smiled, "I believe you. What's your plan, though?"
Alex didn't ask for a battle plan but for Sara's plan for their family. To his words, Sara sweetly smiled. She looked into his eyes, then whispered words that didn't surprise him.
He already had a similar talk with Stella.
"I will strive to be a better wife. I know what I have to do in my world… This castle needs more colors, more people, and a better environment. I will also become a better big sister and fill the gap left behind by my selfish father.
I will follow my husband's principles," Sara summarized her thoughts, adding a quiet and little shy voice, "And I want Celia to have a little broth in the future. He will protect his big sister and make us proud.

If she wanted, he would impregnate her on the spot.
That was how much influence Sara had left behind on him with her current mesmerizing smile.
After a while, his head cleared, and Alex wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "What kind of excuse should I tell you now? I can't use the same one I told Stella…"
Sara chuckled, "I told you I want it to happen in the future. There's no need for excuses, and we have a lot of time too."
Alex nodded, staying with Sara in such a close and intimate position for quite a long time.
To make things different, Alex decided to talk with Stella last. He headed to Schnee's room.
She was in her trance again, focusing on the peculiar lucky box.
Alex saw that her golden streaks were much faster, and their amount was relatively abundant, as if her hatred for her father pushed her limits.
Those emotions indeed heightened everyone's growth. And an imminent war in the human and demi-humans continent would be the same. Alex and his wives would face enemies of a high caliber, both hungry demons, and players.
That was what Elias Deathwill wanted. Everything was going according to his plans, yet Alex and others didn't know about it.
And even if they knew, they wouldn't care too much about it. In the end, those events contributed to their growth. They would tame it solely for themselves, leverage all experiences, and become stronger, much stronger than the mastermind predicted.
With their feelings, they would overcome all.
Alex stared at her. He then left a few snacks behind so that Schnee would know about his presence later on. He also wrote something for her, which were simply supportive words.
He encouraged her with simple words.

[You have been right about your father, Schnee. Your cautiousness and straightforward personality would've saved us in the future if I didn't meet him or learn about his empty heart.
Killing him would be saving him, though. Let's strip him of his swordsmanship. Let's make Elias Deathwill unable to wield a sword for the rest of his life.
Let me steal his swordsmanship and turn it into my own weapon, just like his other skills.
We will make him understand what he has lost.]
In Stella's room, the little dullahan was making her moves. She took the beautiful white rose to the glass, filled it with water, then smiled widely.
She showcased her hard work to her winged aunt.
And then Celia ran around the room to check whether everything was clean.
Alex came in exactly at that moment. He saw the white rose, then little dullahan happily running around the room.
Alex took her into his arms, to which Celia didn't complain.
They took a seat on Stella's bed, then Alex spoke with a happy tone, "Did you know, Celia? We know where Stella's mother might be."
"Really?!" Celia's eyes twinkled, "Aunt Stella will be happy!"
"I know, right?" Alex grinned.
Stella looked at them, then nodded.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})And that was exactly what she just needed. She just needed what she had right now, meaning her sisters, Celia, and her husband. It would be great if her mother also could join if she hadn't found new happiness.
And knowing Alex's heart, Stella wasn't worried about her mother's future should she be alone without any help.
Everyone would come in aid.
Alex confirmed that Stella was fine with all events, then he left her together with Celia. It was time to make some information gathering!
He left the world and opened his PC.
He talked with Tomo Homie as well. They decided to do proper research and call their homies to the impending war.
Tomo Homie also predicted what hero and villain guilds would participate in the battle. He did the proper research and even tried contacting a few.
And then, Tomo Homie dropped a bomb, "Lily's big sister is a guild leader of top five guilds. They also work in those areas, so we might have a good ally, homie."
Alex tilted his head, "Lily? Haha! So you must have become a couple already. Congratulations. And well… I didn't know your girlfriend had a sister."
Tomo Homie nodded belatedly, "Me too. However, I've met her. She stays in the background, so she isn't as known as her little sister. But her father all praises her, and so is Lily.
She also has conquered dungeon without anyone knowing in the early game's stages."
Alex was impressed by this lady. He kept nodding to Tomo Homie's words… And as they talked, Alex couldn't stop himself from not asking his friend about civilians.
"There will be a group of people I want to hunt… And my goal will be to protect civilians as Deathwill."
Tom understood, "Yeah."
Alex asked, "If I told you that the Avander World is real, would you be able to keep playing this game in the same way?"
