The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

"Look at this child, so sensible, calling me dad so quickly!"

Grand Duke Annand was quite satisfied with Miss Yangzi's performance.

The twilight was gradually fading at the edge of the skyline, the remnants of the golden sunset shining on Grand Duke Annand's golden hair, making the God of War seem as majestic as a lion.

He rose slowly to his feet, his military spine rigid, first looking nobly around at family and friends, sweeping his gaze across the Chenxing and Moon Families, waving to them like a victorious general returning home.

Such a credit to his father!

Enjoying the respectful and congratulatory looks from his relatives and friends, he looked proudly at Count Karlo, whose mood was fluctuating, and felt completely at ease. Miss Yangzi's call of 'Dad' hit Grand Duke Annand right in the heart.

Especially being able to gloat in front of Count Chenxing, Archduke Annand was very proud. Your son doesn't have this skill, can't find such an excellent wife.

As a Demigod, he had the ability to discern people's speech, and Grand Duke Annand could feel that Miss Yangzi's 'Dad' was completely heartfelt, full of natural conviction without a trace of falsehood.

Just look at this child, so sensible, already starting to call dad even before she married in.

"Miss Yoko, once you officially marry Arthur, it won't be too late to call me dad," Grand Duke Annand said with a smile, his face brimming with pride on one end of the border, while Arthur's face on the other end of the screen was a picture of horror.

Yesterday, his father wrote saying there was a big surprise waiting for him, but this surprise was way too big.

It was he dating himself,

What kind of incredible surprise is this!

For these past decades, Arthur relied on the Sun Family's inherited spirit of courage and feared no one, with the sole exception of his own father. At this very moment, facing his father as Yangzi, and in front of so many relatives and friends!

Arthur's legs shook, fearful that if he slipped up, his father would fly over from the border and kill him on the spot!

Thinking about such a terrifying outcome, Arthur's legs trembled, his lips quavered, and he could no longer maintain the confident demeanor he had before the call.

Ever since he was a child, whenever he got into trouble, he had never been able to deceive his father, always ending up being severely punished. Grand Duke Annand had become Arthur's mental demon on his path to knighthood; without conquering this demon, he could never become a true knight.

He lifted his gaze without showing any emotion, looking at Lister behind the screen.

'Help me.'

Arthur blinked, sending a signal with his eyes.

Lister scoffed in disdain, thinking Arthur was far too cowardly, lacking the realization and spirit of the nobility. What was there to be afraid of in marrying oneself? If it had been him in that position, he surely would have subdued everyone with the most elegant and impeccable noble etiquette.

It was just a pity that he had no chance to demonstrate this.

'Help me, please!'

Arthur turned his pleading gaze to An Su.

An Su smiled calmly, returning a trusting look, lifting up a sign he had written earlier, 'Now is the moment to exhibit the courage of the three great rules of love, time for practice.'

He was a master of love, and through his many years of research, he found that self-love was a rare branch of love.

Seeing An Su, the brightness in Arthur's eyes clearly dimmed; this guy had known all along that it was his father on the other end.

Knowing that both of these men were unreliable, Arthur took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

His father and relatives on the other side of the screen were waiting for him; he couldn't panic.

He had to be brave.

He must muster the courage to conquer his mental demon, even if it meant going head-to-head with his own father, he would not admit defeat!

Arthur was about to display the most radiant courage of the Sun Spirit!

What's so scary about self-love?

Having lived for so many years, self-love was the one domain Arthur had never been afraid of.

In the showdown of the new and old trios of the border, only a fresh new generation would triumph.

Facing his father's kind and majestic eyes, Arthur smiled with sunny confidence, and the golden-haired beauty twisted by magic in the magic web smiled confidently too, "Dad, I have a poor magic net signal here, can we talk another day?"

"This child, why are you being shy now." Grand Duke Annand found it endearing.

Having heard the word 'dad' again, he felt very comfortable.

The photo didn't impress him much, but after meeting in person, the more he looked at Yangzi, the more he liked her.

This level of brazen lying, almost on par with his son Arthur, was simply a match made in heaven.

"Is it that Arthur has been bullying you," Grand Duke Annand wanted to put Yangzi at ease, and assured, "If that boy has bullied you, just tell dad; I will beat him mercilessly."

...Plainly seen, Miss Yangzi became even more nervous.

"Err... I think, since we're all family, we should be a bit more harmonious, no need to be so harsh on Arthur..."

Miss Yangzi said weakly, "There's no need to be 'merciless.'"

"Mhm. Well said."

Grand Duke Annand thought Miss Yangzi was knowledgeable and reasonable, even knew to defend that scoundrel of a son, truly a good child, a family indeed should be more harmonious, so he agreed, "Then dad will beat him with a cheerful face."

The relatives of the Sun Family nodded in agreement, commending Grand Duke Annand for his understanding; especially Arthur's old uncle 'Butcher', who cracked a huge grin, assuring Yangzi with a slap on the chest that he would give Arthur a good education.

Miss Yangzi looked even more frightened.

"Miss Yangzi, when can you marry my son?"

Grand Duke Annand looked at Arthur kindly.

In front of Count Karlo,
