"Mom… Dad… I am back… after so long… I… I am sorry for being so far for so long…" she sighed.
"V-Vheslia… Is that you? Are we not dreaming again?" asked her mother.
"Please tell us this is not a dream…" said her father.
"This is not a dream… T-This is reality… really." Said Vheslia, as she smiled warmly at them.
"VHESLIAAAAA!"
The two parents rushed towards their daughter, hugging her tightly with their arms. The two kissed their daughter's whole face as well, as their tears got all over Vheslia's clothes…
Frank smiled faintly at the scene; it was very cute. Seeing Vheslia reuniting with her parents was something truly heart-warming to the core.
Just how long has Vheslia been away from her parents?
Really, she should had told him about this way earlier, and he would had brought her here asap.
He sighed, as he began to think about his other wives and what they might be hiding, especially Cathyl and Gwendolyn, he had yet to learn more about the current situation of their parents and more.
He knew about their past and what they did and all, but he wanted to learn about the current present, saving things up for themselves was no good, Frank wanted to help his wives as much as possible…
This scene melted his heart, as it reminded him when he met with his parents once more…
For Vheslia and her parents, it felt like time had stopped moving, the happiness they felt mixed in with the strong emotions overflowing from their heart was so enormous that they felt like nothing else around the mattered other than this very moment.
Vheslia's parents looked almost like her, they didn't even grew older, as their race often maintained their youthful appearance until the last day of their lives, mostly remaining small as well, thanks to their great magic capacity, mostly.
"It has been decades since we last saw you, Vheslia!" cried her father.
"You've grown so much, my little girl… We never thought you would come see us…" cried her mother.
"I am sorry for not coming earlier… I should had really come earlier… I was being stupid…" cried Vheslia.
Vheslia thought of herself as stupid, despite all this time, she never came to visit her parents because she was always busy with other things, and even now that everything ended in Terra, there were many things to do in Earth, and she didn't wanted to bother Frank as much.
But Frank wasn't someone that would deny her from coming to see her parents, but she was way too considerate to ask him something that would still bother him somehow, so she really took a while to ask him.
Frank felt like reprimanding her, but he contained himself.
"You really were! You don't know how much we have been worried about you…" cried her mother.
"It has been so many years… It felt like I was going to die without seeing my daughter again, Vheslia, please don't leave us now! Stay with us until we die at the very least!" cried her father.
Vheslia smiled warmly as she kissed her parents, they were missing her a lot.
"Don't say such things… How about we stop crying so much…? We have a lot of people I need you to meet. They're all my family as well, people that has been taking care of my back through my entire journey, they're all my dear family…" said Vheslia.
Vheslia's parents looked at the large group of many other races of people with shiny eyes, they felt as if they were meeting with a legendary party of adventurers or something that had been taking care of their daughter through their strength and companionship.
If their beloved daughter talked so good about them, then it meant that they were probably amazing people themselves as well! They looked at Frank and the rest, and couldn't help but wonder who were they and what were their backgrounds.
And were all of them her friends, or there was someone here that had a deeper relationship with her? they didn't even knew if their daughter was or not into romance, so they had not even realized the possibility that she could had brought a romantic partner as well.
Frank was the first to present himself, as Vheslia's wife and the future father of her child.
"Nice to meet you two, I am Frank James. I think my name is a bit well known around Terra… I am the leader of the party that defeated the Demon King. Vheslia was of great help." Said Frank.
"Y-You're the leader?!" asked Erebus, Vheslia's father.
"Incredible… I can sense such an endless amount of mana from you…" said Mary, Vheslia's mother.
"Ah, well, yeah, I guess… I am a bit strong I guess. But Vheslia herself is very strong as well…" said Frank.
Vheslia quickly hugged Frank's arms as she smiled back at her parents with a bright smile like her parents had never seen ever before in her.
Vheslia blushed a bit, as she loaded herself with the strength necessary to muster the words that would be needed for her to tell her parents that Frank was something more than just the leader of her party and a good friend.
Their relationship had developed slowly, but still, they were now husband and wife, and to boot, she was pregnant. It was obvious that she was going to talk about it! It was common sense to introduce her parents to her husband as fast as possible so there won't be any confusion in the future.
However, the sole thought about telling them and then imagining them going insane scared her a bit… However, Frank tightly held her hand as he shared his warmth to her, he smiled back at her and nodded, like a reliable man, he seemed ready to help her in anything she could possibly need.
It was possible that they might react differently than they had thought a normal couple of parents would react to knowing their daughter's husband, but it was something they had to accept and work around such a topic as much as they possibly could.
Later on, if things went better, they would be able to get along just fine, but as of now, they had to say it and not save it as a secret, as it would only bring bad things ahead.
"He's… my husband as well." She said.
"Eh?"
"Ah…"
Vheslia's parents were left speechless. They, as demons, never expected their daughter to marry with a human, a completely different race from her. In the society of Terra, especially the demon society, it was unthinkable for demons to marry other races than other demon races., and they were obviously quite racist.
But that was mostly in every other country as well, Humans also discriminated other humans that married other races than them, beast-folk called weaklings to their people that married other races, elves found it unsightly and disgusting, and dwarves… they felt it wasn't right.
The races of Terra were diverse, but as they were separated in large nations, even now that the Demon king has been destroyed, their political strives and more continued on as usual, and the racism hasn't gone anywhere either, the world was saved from their greatest menace, but the real problems remained within their society, Frank wasn't really able to do anything about it…
Vheslia's parents had never thought their daughter would come back married already. They were still somewhat okay if she ever did it but with a human? Things completely changed by then, it wasn't something that their society accepted openly after all.
The two were mostly outcasts of society though, they had never liked a society that discriminated those that were not as talented in magic as others, and especially hated how they discriminated against their daughter for her sickness in her stomach.
They always called her an incompetent good for nothing despite how hard they always saw her studying magic and practicing alchemy, the two eventually grew resentful against society and its structure, the demon nation really needed some reformation, but because it was being led by people that only valued magic above all else, it was going to be hard for two people to even do anything.
This is why they simply decided to move to a faraway town and live quietly with their daughter, knowing what the society might even think about them didn't mattered to them anymore....
