In Xi Ya, the relationships between countries were often twisted and complicated. For example, the Austin Empire, which inherited the legacy of the previous generation, and the St. Mestre Theocracy, which rose to prominence in the future. One had a large population and a large territory, while the other was strong and had a large number of followers. In the thousands of years of history, both sides had been in a state of open strife and secret strife, which affected each other's policies.
However, even if the two countries had completely different cultural traditions, the policies of the same period were basically the same. Moreover, the upper echelons set an example, and that was the population policy in a time of chaos.
In Luo Ya's previous life, no matter how many people there were, it would only increase the labor force corresponding to the number of people. However, in Xi Ya, as long as one lucky person won the lottery and gave birth to an extraordinary genius, it was very likely that it would have a certain impact on the entire country in a short period of time.
In the St. Mestre Theocracy, there was a special law that was used during the Holy War. One of the laws was aimed at the nobles, and it was extremely strict. It required them to have children before the age of 20, or they would face severe punishment.
If this was in Luo Ya's previous life, this kind of policy would be criticized for being inhumane. However, in Xi Ya, which was not an intelligent race like humans, this was an iron law passed down from the era of the ancestors, and it was also the consensus of the people.
In order to not let the race go extinct, it was necessary to ensure that the population would continue to grow. This was especially true for the nobles, who had a higher probability of giving birth to extraordinary people. In the face of the will of such a country, or even the will of a race, anyone who opposed it was powerless. Remember!
Of course, those who could not give birth to a child due to their special constitution were exceptions. For this group of people, not only would the Vatican not punish them, but they would also send people to treat them. It could be said that they were very humane.
It was obvious that Miss Angel would not do such a thing, but even so, in this kind of environment, Luo Ya could not pass the hurdle of Ka Diya. After all, in the eyes of the Marquis, the princess could not give birth because of the leadership of the Vatican. However, the other girl in the family did not have such a restriction, and she was just about to reach adulthood.
Looking at the silver-haired girl, the black-haired young man didn't know how to explain himself. After pondering for a long time, he finally told her what Ka Diya thought. After hearing Luo Ya's words, Ai Lisi couldn't help but widen her red eyes and freeze on the spot.
Hearing Luo Ya's insinuating words, Ai Lisi asked in surprise. The black-haired youth couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
The black-haired youth looked at the girl, his heart filled with guilt. He felt that Ka Diya had been too hasty this time. However, what the youth didn't know was that Ai Lisi's thoughts were completely different from his.
Blinking her eyes, the silver-haired girl once again understood Luo Ya's words. She couldn't believe it for a moment.
Could a pie really fall from the sky? How could he win while sitting at home?
Once they got married, Ai Lisi could easily overcome the problem that had been hindering her for a long time, which was her sibling relationship with Luo Ya, in addition to Luo Ya's love for her …
Although both the marquis and the black-haired youth had always treated Ai Lisi as family, in this kind of important matter that concerned the survival of the family, Ai Lisi wasn't in a good position to express her position. Putting aside the fact that Luo Ya was the successor of the Akkat Family, Ai Lisi, as an adopted daughter, rebelled against Ka Diya's orders. This wasn't good in the eyes of the outside world.
"Ai Lisi, don't feel pressured. Just say what's in your heart. I believe that father will still consider our words."
Unsure if it was because of the consolation, after hearing Luo Ya's words, the silver-haired girl's eyes flickered with a determined look. Seeing this situation, the youth heaved a sigh of relief, as if everything was finally settled.
However, although Luo Ya was opposed to making a move on Ai Lisi, the black-haired youth's attitude was very clear. He firmly opposed it and even ignored the girl's opinion.
But no matter what, to the black-haired youth, this hurdle of his father was something that he had to overcome. After a series of preparations, the confident Luo Ya finally welcomed the day of Ka Diya's return.
The return of the overlord of Akate City, Ka Diya Akate, set off a storm in Akate City during the New Year.
For ordinary people, stability meant everything in troubled times. Ka Diya was naturally welcomed by the people, but compared to Luo Ya, the scale of the welcome was slightly smaller. However, this wasn't because Ka Diya wasn't good enough, but because Luo Ya was too good.
On the other hand, there was a difference in the age of the supporters of both sides. As the next overlord, Luo Ya's supporters were mostly young adults who benefited from the development of the territory, especially among the women. On the other hand, Ka Diya's supporters were mostly composed middle-aged and elderly people. Therefore, the way and atmosphere of both sides were completely different.
Different crowds and different ways of welcoming made it difficult to distinguish between the two sides. However, whether it was Luo Ya or Ka Diya, this wasn't important. Right now, the father and son were focused on other things.
This time, Ka Diya didn't return home without a purpose. In fact, the Marquis who was at the front line could choose not to come back. However, when he thought of his hometown that was empty, Ka Diya's heart trembled. He had no choice but to come back.
The Marquis still remembered that a few years ago, at the same table, Ka Diya looked at Luo Ya who was being fought over by several talented girls. He felt that his son's method of picking up girls was unfathomable.
No, strictly speaking, the youth didn't do nothing. It was better to say that he had achieved a lot. However, when it came to relationships between men and women, the youth was unusually rigid. Simply put, he was too restrained.
Regarding this point, if the Akat Family was a prosperous family, Ka Diya would be quite satisfied. After all, it would be a big problem to have an illegitimate child. However, in the Akat Family, Luo Ya's overly good moral character made Ka Diya's head explode.
There are so many good girls. Even if it's Rochet's child, it doesn't matter. What kind of situation is this?
As a widower who had been single for more than ten years, Ka Diya's degree of purity was better than Luo Ya's. Naturally, there was nothing to criticize. However, the Marquis' thoughts didn't change.
With a slight sigh, Ka Diya looked at the youth with a rare look of disappointment. However, when he saw the girl beside the youth, Ka Diya's heart slowly calmed down.
But for Ai Lisi Akat, there was no such worry at all. In a situation where both of the Akat Family members could go to the battlefield, Ai Lisi absolutely couldn't go to the front line.
Looking at Ai Lisi who sat quietly beside the youth, Ka Diya's expression gradually calmed down. Putting down the teacup, the Marquis looked at the two children and asked about their recent situation.
"The battle was really difficult. I … was slightly injured, but now I have basically recovered."
For the soldiers who fought on the frontlines, it was almost instinctive for them to be concerned about logistics and supplies. Currently, the human alliance's largest supply depot was the Ross Commercial United Nations, and from the Akat family's perspective, the Ross Commercial United Nations was an inseparable military and economic partner.
"Father, this time when I left Rochet, Uncle Bruce asked me to bring you a letter. It should be a handwritten thank-you letter. It contains the reward provided by Rochet's side to thank us."
Looking at the letter that Luo Ya handed over, the black-haired middle-aged man curled up the corner of his mouth and received it. After roughly reading it, Ka Diya's face revealed a rare expression of surprise. And the reason was very simple. Rochet's reward was too generous.
Ka Diya, who was originally worried about Luo Ya's injury, immediately betrayed himself after reading Bruce's handwritten letter. He no longer mentioned Luo Ya's injury. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the black-haired youth also made a request.
"… Let's meet. That child has also suffered this time. No matter what, you still have an engagement."
However, as the saying goes, there are pros and cons. Although Luo Ya fulfilled his promise, this was not the Rochet family, but the Akat family. The silver-haired girl beside Luo Ya pouted at this time. Seeing this situation, the black-haired youth looked helpless and hurriedly threw out a new topic.
The black-haired youth said so, so he explained the discovery of Master Andrew and the situation of the ancestors' remains. And just as Luo Ya guessed, Ka Diya's face suddenly turned gloomy and serious, showing a rare strong hostility.
After listening to the explanation, the Marquis, who learned that the cultists were actually eyeing the Akat family, the most scarce resource, could not bear it anymore. With a gloomy face, he decided to send out troops on the spot, and decided to join forces with Rochet to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the Saint Heroes Society.
Praying and praying in Xi Ya's temple was a very appropriate way to handle this matter, and it calmed the Marquis' heart a little. However, when he heard that this ceremony was for three people, Ka Diya's expression became subtle. After thinking for a while, the Marquis looked at Luo Ya and said:
"Well, I understand. I'll arrange it later …"
"Huh?"
In the face of Ka Diya's sudden change, the black-haired youth could not help but blink with a puzzled look on his face. However, his son's puzzlement did not make the Marquis' face change. Ka Diya looked at Luo Ya's golden eyes and asked solemnly:
"This … to completely eradicate the Saint Heroes Society and avenge them?"
After listening to Luo Ya's answer, Ka Diya first nodded, then shook his head and continued:
"Inheritance? Father, you mean … "
“.....”
"One of the reasons I came back this time is to remind you to take action and fulfill your obligations."
"The Holy War of the Theocracy."
Hearing the Marquis' words, the black-haired youth was unmoved on the surface, but he was not surprised in his heart. Beside Luo Ya, the silver-haired girl suddenly raised her head and looked at the middle-aged man who spoke.
"Father, I know about the Holy War, but isn't this too sudden? And … Ai Lisi and I are not ready yet."
Listening to Roja's excuse, Katya couldn't help but ridicule him in her heart. If it was something else, then it's possible to sharpen one's spear at the last minute. But when it comes to the biological instinct of reproduction, then any normal male would be like a dragon. Not to mention, it's not like the noble didn't teach them physiology.
Although the Marquis was quite anxious about the offspring, as a father, Ka Diya still respected Ai Lisi's personal wishes. The girl and Luo Ya's relationship was not a problem, but the matter of having children seemed a little too early for the girl who had just reached adulthood, so he should ask her first.
With this thought in mind, Ka Diya asked the girl's wishes, and Luo Ya slowly curled up the corners of his mouth, rejoicing that he had asked the girl in advance.
"… Father, I think it's indeed a little inappropriate."
After hearing Ai Lisi's words, Ka Diya could not help but let out a sigh, but before the Marquis could withdraw his suggestion, Ai Lisi's shy voice sounded again.
"If it's children, at least two …"
