Shiro touched Lala's head after hearing the other party's words, letting her know that everything was fine.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, there won't be any problems."
Zastin nodded after that, and then Shiro sat down. A cup of tea immediately appeared, and he poured himself some tea and began to drink.
Mikan and Yui curiously asked questions.
After all, meeting an alien and an alien princess was something that sparked immense curiosity.
Zastin was the type to answer any question. While they were talking, they suddenly touched on a topic.
"As a son-in-law, Lala's husband, the son-in-law will surely become the king of Deviluke in the future."
After these words, Yui felt that something was off.
It sounded too much like the words said when recruiting a husband into a family. After all, normally speaking, if someone gets married, it would be impossible for that person to become the next king.
"Shiro, is this a marriage where the husband comes to live with the wife?"
Zastin nodded at that moment.
"Indeed. According to the rules, if the son-in-law marries Lala, it is equivalent to a marriage where he enters the family, and then he can become the next king."
"Of course, that is only formal; in reality, it's no different from a normal marriage."
Zastin also knew the culture of this planet and quickly added an explanation.
Then the two of them looked at Shiro, who at that moment was playing with Lala.
Faced with their gaze, Shiro said with a helpless expression:
"You're overthinking. I will marry Lala, but I won't be any king who enters the family, nor anything like that."
After hearing Shiro's words, Lala spoke in surprise:
"Shiro, you don't want to be king?"
"Why would I want to be king?"
At that moment, Zastin quickly spoke:
"Son-in-law, you don't know, the territory that we Devilukians rule is very large. The moment you become king, you will immediately have authority over countless planets."
"And you can also lead armies and expand the territory."
Shiro's lips trembled slightly after hearing that.
"Zastin, you need to understand one thing: this is very tempting for ordinary people, but for me, if I really wanted it, I could become the ruler of this universe at any time, because I have the power and could do it effortlessly."
"So don't ask me to be king; it doesn't interest me."
"Zastin, you should have already seen my abilities and how I can change everything with a single sentence. So don't ask me to expand territory."
"And as for being king, I'm even less interested. Do you know why your king desperately pushes Lala on blind dates, or why he wants to find a successor to the throne?"
Zastin was completely stunned after hearing that, then curiously said:
"Isn't it for the future of Deviluke?"
Shiro laughed after hearing that.
"You're overthinking. Neither you nor Lala, except for her mother, know that the real reason your current king desperately pushes Lala on blind dates and seeks an heir, or wants to train someone as a successor, is that he wants to get rid of the position so he can escape with his wife and travel through space."
Zastin was completely bewildered after hearing that. No way? Could his king really think like that?
And Lala felt quite surprised.
"Eh… does father really think like that?"
"And how else? Your father just wants to get rid of responsibility so he and your mother can travel and live carefree, so he constantly pressures you."
Shiro said that he had read the original work.
Zastin felt a headache coming after learning the reason. What to do? All these people were too capricious, and he couldn't offend them.
"Son-in-law, your request is somewhat against our rules, and it's a little difficult to resolve. I can only report it to the king."
Shiro, after hearing that, smiled and responded to the other party. After all, this man was a loyal worker. Such a person might be needed in the future, and he wasn't a bad person.
"Don't worry, just convey my words to him. If he really wants an heir, then it can be a child that I will have with Lala when the time comes, but let him not think about me, nor about Lala."
"Of course, if he disagrees or something, he will probably come here by himself after some time. I hate going to look for him. When he comes, we will simply fight. Whoever wins, the other listens."
"After all, isn't that the law of the universe? The one with the bigger fist is right; the words of the winner represent everything."
Zastin's eyes shone after hearing that, and his face was full of agreement.
"Son-in-law, you are completely right."
"Indeed, the law of the universe is that the winner represents everything."
"I will convey your intentions to the king. I doubt that the king will be very unhappy that it is resolved this way."
Zastin considered this the best solution. After all, when it comes to two capricious people, the one who wins has the right to be capricious.
"Shiro, will you fight with father?"
"No, no, no, that's not a fight. That is just a one-sided action for my father-in-law to obey. After all, a fight is between equals, but if they are not equal, then it is just a one-sided warning."
After hearing that, Lala, without hesitation, sold out her father.
"Shiro, you must be careful. Father is very strong. When fully unleashed, he can directly release energy in his body and destroy a planet."
Zastin felt somewhat helpless. His princess seemed like she was selling the family even before she got married.
The remaining two were stunned after hearing that. Could the other party really be that powerful?
Or, more precisely, do such beings really exist?
"Relax, relax. That level isn't enough to make me even blink. He is just a planet destroyer, not even at the level of a single universe."
"A single universe?"
"Son-in-law, I don't quite understand your classification system."
"It's nothing special. Those who can destroy a planet are called planet destroyers. After that come nebulae, galaxies, stellar domains, a single universe, multiverse…"
"There are many levels. Your king is only at the level of a planet destroyer."
"By the way, when reaching the level of a single universe, there are also various subdivisions."
Everyone listened as if they were listening to a book they couldn't understand, especially Zastin, who had never heard of such a classification before.
"So, Shiro, at what level is your current strength?"
Yui had an expression full of gossiping curiosity.
"Emmm… my current strength is at the level of infinite super-one-universe."
"If I lift my foot a little more, I can reach the multiversal level."
These people were not stupid; they clearly understood the concept of the multiverse, so they all sighed coldly.
"Zastin, you won't tell your king about my situation, right?"
"After all, I'm still looking forward to a good conversation with my father-in-law."
Shiro at that moment looked at the other party with a smile. However, Zastin, the captain of the royal guard, stated that he had fought so long that his instinct told him that if he dared secretly report this, he would surely die later in a very miserable way.
"Son-in-law, what are you talking about? I think I had a momentary hearing problem and didn't hear clearly."
Lala, with her more innocent nature, curiously looked after hearing that.
"Zastin, don't you feel well? Should I check your body?"
"No! Lala, that is completely unnecessary. I was just a little tired for a moment; a good sleep will fix it."
Zastin refused without hesitation, and in his heart thought that it seemed only someone as innocent as his princess could be protected by someone like Shiro.
After all, he personally witnessed the other party's abilities and could tell that the other party wasn't lying, or rather, despised lying, especially when answering questions from people close to her.
Mikan and Yui first looked at the captain of the royal guard with disdain, as if saying, "Where is your backbone?" Then they looked at the alien princess in surprise, thinking, "How innocent she is!"
