Andreas was surprised that his mind stopped working for a second. Then, he pinched the middle of his forehead because he felt like he might teach his son some lessons.
"Repeat it, what did you just say?"
"I have two other girlfriends aside from Scarlett. So yeah, I have three girlfriends."
Calix didn't hesitate to say it. This should be the moment where he would cower and ask for forgiveness. But Calix strongly believed that he didn't make a mistake. He knew that being in a relationship with multiple girls would be his norm, because of his Term Attribute.
So he just wanted his father to be ready. He was not going to ask for help, he was going to fix and face this by himself.
Andreas confirmed his determination, he was confused why Calix was acting like this.
"Am I hearing it right? You have three girlfriends?"
Andreas wanted to beat the shit out of him, his face was turning cold. He didn't teach his son to hurt a woman, nor take multiple women. This was truly unexpected.
"Does Scarlett know about this?"
"Yes, she knows."
"So she knows but she still agreed?"
This was getting crazy. Scarlett, a prideful woman like her, agreed to that kind of situation? It was unbelievable.
"… Okay, let's hear about it. I know that you won't tell me this without any reason. Scarlett is from a prominent Clan, we can't dare to disrespect her… you don't know how Bronal gets angry."
Having a relationship with Scarlett was acceptable, but having a relationship with two other girls is not acceptable. Bronal would definitely kill Calix if he found that Calix was three-timing his daughter.
Andreas planned to pacify the situation by giving Calix a proper position in the military. But now, Andreas was thinking of giving Calix a ticket to go to another country. So that he could escape the wrath of the Clan Leader of the Red Tempest.
"Son, your mother and I started our relationship when we're 18, just like you. I promised her that I will marry her and build a family, I want her to be the mother of my children. I keep that promise. Even now, I keep my heart close because no one can make me fall in love again--"
"Father, I deciphered my Term Attribute."
"What?"
Andreas' blossoming past was disrupted by another fact. Andreas wanted to show Calix that a man must take only one woman, that's his ideology. Yet Calix bombed another information. It took a few seconds for Andreas to understand what he said.
Andreas was cold the whole time, his emotions didn't change much. But when Calix said that he deciphered his Term Attribute, Andreas's lips curled up.
"I'm proud of you my son."
"Thank you."
This means that Calix's future was going to be better. Deciphering his power means a lot. He could join the military without a problem, or he could go to college, and half of his tuition fees would be revoked if he had an offensive Term Attribute. Never mind the tuition, Andreas was ready to cover the whole tuition fee if Calix wanted to go to college.
"Your Term Attribute is Luck, right? So how did you decipher it?"
"Um… actually, about that… You see..."
Calix scratched his head. Explaining the process was the most awkward thing. It was hard to talk about sex with Andreas because his father was always serious.
However, Calix decided to tell the truth. It was better if Andreas knew about it so that he could manage. Andreas may look bleak but people around him trust him because Andreas is a trustworthy person that always helps people, he doesn't discriminate. He is the Steel Legion.
"That explains why you have three girls… Why didn't you say so in the first place?"
Andreas glanced at Calix who was sitting straight, he was not afraid because he didn't make a mistake.
It justified why Calix had three girls around him. However, the most important thing that Andreas found was the power-up ability of his Term Attribute.
'If all he said are right. Then it means that Scarlett became a 2nd Advanced because of my son...'
It was miraculous and dangerous at the same time. People could use Calix to further develop their greed.
"Calix I forbid you from talking about your power to the others. You have good sense so you can judge if a person is bad or not. Stay out of the bad people, even if they are girls. Don't let yourself succumb to pleasure, it will cause you your downfall."
"I promise, I will never do that. I'm thinking of keeping only three girls..."
Calix promised, although the latter was kind of hard to keep. As long as he could, he won't have sex to anyone except his three girlfriends… that promise was immediately broken the second day.
"You must not talk about the pistol and the fragment too. They can cause war."
"Yes, I will."
"Since I don't have anything to do tomorrow, we will go to a shooting ground to practice your accuracy."
To be fair, Andreas taught Calix how to handle different kinds of guns. Calix has already known how to operate guns since he was twelve. However, Andreas always reminded him that guns are dangerous. They are deadly, one mistake and Calix could kill a person. That's why Andreas didn't let Calix own a gun.
But it was different now. Calix was already old and he knew the right and wrong.
Andreas could see his wife in Calix's eyes. His expression relaxed and he smiled.
"You and your mother have the same color of eyes. Green-brown eyes, just like the earthy leave of spring."
"Hm? I didn't know about that."
Calix tilted his head.
"You're still young so your memory about your mother is blurred. Your mother has the blood of the ancient Elves so it explains why she has greenish eyes, you inherited that too."
"I have Elven blood?"
His brows raised, this was the first time that he heard about it.
"Yes, I think your mother said that she's from the lineage of High-Elf of Fate."
High-Elf, or to be precise, the Higher Elves. They were groups of Elves that have unique powers. Usually, the powers of the Elves were always connected to nature, but a few ones had certain connections to some phenomenons such as Time, Fate, Light, Dark, Death, and Life. They were the Higher Elves.
"Isn't the Oracle a High-Elf of Fate?"
"Yes, he or she is a High-Elf."
Both of them were not sure about the gender of the Oracle. He or she was the only person who could discern the future from the string of fate of each person. It was unconfirmed but it said that he or she was sleeping in a certain place.
