The Return of the World's Destructive Hero
Chapter 40: The Fiancee

In the city of Sofya, a daughter of the city's ruling nobility just returned from her trip.

"Finally you come home Charlotte~" The mother immediately ran to hug her daughter with worry.

"There wasn't anything strange or anything during your trip, was there?" Ask the father with worry.

Charlotte was their only child, so they were a little protective. Even so, they knew that Charlotte was not a weak girl. In the academy he was one of the best students of all his class.

His traveling companions were his childhood friends, they were all like family. Do all the things together like practice, study, play, and many others. They were all also the children of the nobles who lived in that city.

"No Pah, everything is safe" Charlotte replied with a small smile on her lips.

"Is that true?" Ask Charlotte's friends.

Everyone just smiled awkwardly and nodded. "That's right, uncle" they said simultaneously.

The father seemed hesitant to believe her, but for him the most important thing at this time was the safe return of his daughter. "Okay, let's go inside the mansion. You must be hungry, right?" Said the father.

That afternoon, they all ate together inside the city lord mansion. Their happy faces ate together until one of Charlotte's friends talked about Satoru.

"It's a pity that Satoru-san didn't come" he said, inserting a spoonful of soup into his mouth.

Charlotte's father and mother looked curious when they heard the foreign name. "Satoru? Who's she?" Said they asked.

"Ah, he's our traveling companion. Did uncle and aunt know, Charlotte-sama seemed to be suing-" She innocently answered that question so Charlotte stuffed her mouth with a loaf of bread.

"No, no, she's just our traveling companion who happens to be one-way" Sela Charlotte said.

Charlotte's mother and father were astonished to see her son stuffing his friend's mouth with bread. When she finished eating, Charlotte immediately went to her room to change clothes.

"Hey, what did you want to say earlier?" Ask Charlotte's mom curious.

"Hmm~ That, like her Charlotte-sama likes the guy that one travels with us" she replied.

"Haah!? Are you saying Charlotte likes someone?!" The father looked shocked and stood up from his chair.

"I-yeah, we've been watching him while traveling. It's obvious that Charlotte-sama likes her, right?"

"Yes" Everyone said those words.

The mother seemed to be smiling happily to hear "So well, I never thought she'd finally found someone"

While the father "Is he a good man? What's the background? Is he capable of protecting Charlotte?" Throw some questions.

"Ahaha~ We think he's a good man, he's also strong enough to fight demons and defeat dungeon bosses alone" they replied.

"Against the demons and the dungeon boss by yourself?! Is he really that strong?" Said the father in disbelief.

"Yes, we don't know the details. But, Charlotte-sama has seen her fight. Ah, right too, if it's not wrong that he fought the S-rank monster alone to save us"

The father was shocked when he heard something unbelievable. "S-what is that boy? Is he a hero?" Said slowly.

"It's okay baby, after all if Charlotte can be happy, I don't mind if she marries the person chosen by her own" said the mother with a happy smile on her face.

"Yes, you're right"

After changing clothes, Charlotte put her body on the bed.

Hmm~ Now what is he doing? Has he reached the capital?

Eh!? W-What am I thinking!? K-K-Why do I have to worry about it!

On the bed Charlotte hugged the pillow tightly and rolled left and right. Her face looked red, the girl did not understand her own feelings. His heart was always beating so hard at the thought of the man, his mind was becoming indecisive and his face was always imagined.

"Yeah!! Why do you always show up in my head!" Shouts in the room.

He sat in his bed hugging his pillow and remembered the moment when he was saved, cared for and all the things that concerned the man. He smiled to himself when he thought about it.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

There's a knock on the door "Charlotte, can you come in?" Say someone behind that door.

"Yes, just go in Mah, the door is unlocked" Charlotte said from the inside.

The door opened slowly, and Charlotte's mother walked in and approached her son. "How was? Was your trip fun?" Ask the mother gently.

"Yes, we have a lot of experience. Against a powerful enemy and exploring a place we've never been" Charlotte replied enthusiastically, telling her all about her trip.

"Haha, it seems like it's really fun" the mother chuckled as she listened to her son tell a story. "So what about that guy named Satoru?" He teased Charlotte.

"Eh?!" At that very moment Charlotte stopped telling stories, her face became red. "A- What did you say? A-A-I don't have hu-hu-hu relations with her" Charlotte misbehaved.

"relationship? Have you guys gotten that far?" Ask the mother nosy.

At that time Charlotte was overload and could not speak anything anymore so embarrassed.

"Hahaha, sorry. It seems like mom is teasing you a little too much" said the mother chuckling. She gently stroked the child's hair and said "If Charlotte likes it, mom and dad will support your relationship. If you want, we can arrange your engagement"

"Un~" Charlotte said nothing and just nodded slowly with a face as red as a tomato.

"Then it's decided well" said the mother happily. She came out of the room and went to her husband's place.

In her husband's office, she told him all the things she talked about with Charlotte in the room. "How dear? Can we arrange her engagement?" Ask the mother.

"Well, it can be arranged. But, I want to see what kind of man can make our child fall in love like that" said the father.

"Ahahah, I'm curious too. What if we just move Charlotte to the magic knight academy in the capital?" The mother's proposal.

"Hmm~ I think that's pretty good, so Charlotte can confirm her feelings too" said the father agreed with the proposal given by his wife.

They walked out of the study and met Charlotte's friends in the living room. "All of you, can I ask you something for help?" Said Charlotte's father.

"Let's just say uncle, we already consider you like our own family" they replied.

"I want to transfer Charlotte to the academy that is in the capital. If she can confirm her feelings, I'll prepare her engagement with that man named Satoru"

"All uncle! We will all support Charlotte-sama as well!" Say them simultaneously. They all went back to their homes and asked their parents for permission to change schools.

Of course they were granted permission, their families and the Charlotte family had known for a long time. Their children are also friends from childhood, because that is why they will support their children wholeheartedly.
