Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

Chapter 445  Sophie’s Return Part 2

I looked at the fox girl, who was grinning away, and sighed. I reached out and scratched her ears as I said: "You are never to try something like that again…."

"I won't, but this time…. No matter what happens, you can't leave us again…." Sophie wrapped her arms around my waist and hugged me tightly. I sighed once more before gently holding her in my arms. My fluff had returned, and it was a good thing, but I still felt sad that she nor I could save her family yet again….

"You will come with me tonight. We will visit Adel. She just messaged me and said she got permission for me to bring you along." I asked ahead of time since I did not want to anger the king by bringing someone else along. After all, I planned to marry Adel later on so I will need to stay on the old man's good side.

Sophie looked up at me and smiled. "So you have been keeping in contact with her?"

"Mmm…. I wanted to meet with you as well, but I couldn't. I feared I would have changed your timeline again, but now I realize this was all for naught… Sophie, you know in one of my dreams you died. My guess it was one of the timelines that had a big impact on me. This was why I was afraid. But I still couldn't stand by and do nothing, which was why I healed you. If I did not stay at Adel's last night, then I might have been able to save your parents." I felt guilty. I did. I might have been able to do something."

"No." Sophie shook her head. "While I am sure you could have, I think it was destined to happen no matter what. From my understanding of time, you must have done something much earlier than you did last time. This somehow pushed events forward. While there will be some similarities, this timeline has already veered away from the previous one. We are on track for our own destinies once more. But there is still a chance this timeline can curve back into the old one as well. But I am not sure if what happened before will happen again…."

I nodded at this. I also did not know. I still do not know what the trigger was. I just needed to keep Adel from merging with the other world. "Whatever we do…. I need to stop the worlds from merging. This is why…. I will do anything to keep Adel and you safe…."

"Not anything! Faith, if you decide to die or something like that for the sake of us we will both follow you to the grave!" Sophie yelled, causing me to chuckle. "What!? Why are you laughing!?"

"I meant we will embark on a new journey. I will not become an empress, I will only do what needs to be done, and that is it. I will leave everything else up to those who came before me. I will whisk you and Adel away and embark on a journey outside these lands. But before that, I must take both of you at fifteen as my wives." I grinned at Sophie, who pouted her lip. She threw her arms around my neck and kissed my cheek.

"I will go where you go," Sophie replied with a smile.

"Here…" I reached into my inventory and handed Sophie a system stone.

"Thanks." Sophie quickly accepted it, and I added her to the team. Of which Adel quickly contacted me and began asking Sophie all kinds of questions. Sophie and I sat on the bed and listened to her talk away until she had to go back to training. To us, just hearing her talk was enough to bring us happiness. We both loved Adel, and Adel once loved the both of us. I can only hope we can stand side by side once more in the future.

That night I hugged Sophie close to me and flew off towards the capital. When I arrived, before I even got to Adel's window, I saw an old man waiting just below. I floated down and stood in front of him. "Your Majesty, you are going to get sick if you keep doing this."

"Heh… I just wanted to meet the girl you were bringing over. But from the looks of it, I had no reason to worry." The king replied as he sized up Sophie. "Your name is Sophie?"

"Mmm… I am a space mage." Sophie replied, causing the king to raise an eyebrow. I had told her to say this if we ran into the old man.

"Don't think about it. Sophie is my fluff and lives with me. I will not let you steal her." I quickly stated, making the king raised an eyebrow.

"Why do I feel you will also steal my daughter in the future?" The king asked teasingly.

"Because I will!" I answered very honestly. I mean, why should I lie?

"Haha! Well, if that does come to be, then I will know she is well protected. I don't know why you are so keen on my daughter, but as long as she is safe, I am satisfied." The king seemed to have found my words funny.

I grinned and asked: "So you will let me have your daughter's hand when we turn 15?"

"Sure, why not. As long as she is willing." The king replied with a nod. I grinned and held up a small stone and injected mana into it. "So you will let me have your daughter's hand when we turn 15?" "Sure, why not. As long as she is willing." it played the words that were just said, causing the king's expression to fall.

"You tricked me!" He yelled out.

"I am just making sure I have insurance. After all, I would hate to have the day finally come, and she is willing, but you try to stop it. I now have your word and will make sure to keep this nice and safe. Still have seven years after all." My lips were curled up into a very big cheeky smile which made the king's face even more sour. I loved it!

"Alright! Go see her. She is staring at us with tears in her eyes. But I will say this. If you're serious, you need to make sure it is her who wants this in return. I do not want her to be forced into anything." The king's words were firm. I looked at him and nodded my head. "I wouldn't want it any other way. After all… Adel's happiness is the most important thing."
