Cross The World With System
Meryl Aldora

...----------------...

Back to Xio's side who was still at Meryl's house.

Xio released his hand from the head of Meryl just finished reading her memories. There wasn't much Xio found. He knows the genealogy of the names of the royal family of Sylvaine, led by king Amir Gage and queen Kia Gage. The king and queen have 5 children, 3 boys and 2 girls.

But lately there's something strange about the royal family. Suddenly the king of Amir ordered an army led by Meryl to invite 2 other Elf kingdoms to meet 3 kingdoms on the continent.2 other kingdoms were, namely, garren Kingdom contains dark elves, and another Aedion kingdom inhabited by snow elves.

Actually these three different elf variants never get along and every year there will always be a battle. Want it to fight over territory, or resources.

Meryl did not know what purpose Amir had for gathering them, but he kept carrying out his orders. With all the courage, Meryl went one by one of the 2 kingdoms until finally they agreed to a meeting that will be held 3 days to come.

Xio actually did not want to interfere let alone bother with the matter of these elves. But with the existence of such irregularities made him suspect there was a carcass that had not been smelled, or you could say Xio suspected there was someone behind the irregularity.

And about Travion's tree, it's in the palace with a lot of guards.

Currently Meryl was still sitting on the floor unconscious after Xio read his memories.

"What did you just do?" Asked Heldir who from earlier still flew on Xio's shoulder to pay attention to him.

"Read his memory." Answer Xio.

"Where did you get that ability?" Ask Heldir again.

"Is it important to tell you?" 

"Cihh! I just want to know." Heldir muttered.

"Kids!" Xio called Leon and Lena who was standing under the window watching his father.

The two of them immediately approached Xio. "Yes papah!?" Both Sahut.

"Well, you want to ask, where did you get those handcuffs?" Xio asked, as he remembered never giving them handcuffs, let alone those handcuffs were genuine from steel.

"Get from Oma!" Leon Seru.

'From grandma apparently, it's worth it.' Inner Xio.

 "Why papah?" Leon asked.

"It's okay, papah just wants to know who gave you these handcuffs." Xio moved his finger pointing at the handcuffs still locked in Meryl's hand, and…

Cklekk!

The handcuffs immediately detached and floated slowly to Xio's palm. "Save it again, don't use toys." He handed the handcuffs to Leon.

"okay!" Leon called out his thumb and took the handcuffs from Xio's hand.

"Sir, is it okay for the handcuffs to be removed?" Lena asked pointing towards Meryl who had started to open her eyelids.

"It's okay he's good, only his brain is troubled." Xio stroked Lena's head. Then he looked back at Meryl who looked confused by what had happened, and his head felt a little dizzy.

When he saw Xio in front of him who was sitting in a chair, Meryl remembered what had happened before. Realizing that his hand was not locked with the strange metal anymore, Meryl immediately stood up and pointed an arrow made of wind at Xio's face. As Meryl stood up as suddenly as she had just been, her huge breasts shook downward.

"Say which kingdom you come from!!" Meryl. He mistook Xio for an intruder from one of the neighboring kingdoms, because Xio was still an Elf. It was just that the clothes that Xio was wearing looked foreign to Meryl's eyes, as Xio was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, navy blue pants and black Oxford shoes with a watch on his left wrist.

Leon and Lena are still wearing clothes from the earth with white sneakers patterned green on the left right side.

Leon and Lena held back their laughter as Meryl pointed her arrows at Xio, and mistook Xio from another kingdom.

"It's best not to point your gun at me again if you still love life." Xio said touching Meryl's arrow which was then destroyed instantly with just a slight touch.

"What! How can?!" Meryl was shocked when Xio destroyed her magic arrow.

"Sit down!" Xio.

Bruk!

Meryl immediately sat back down to her own composure in front of Xio like someone was controlling her body. On his body there were black aura which was none other than Xio's shadow skill.

"I know you're suspicious of your king, and I don't really want to take care of your royal affairs, but because I suspect the rotten race is behind it, so I'm going to help you figure it out." Xio.

"Wait on! How do you know that?" Ask Meryl.

"Free you won't answer." Heldir chirps that only Xio could hear.

"I don't take questions, so just follow my orders." Answer Xio.

Meryl pensively for a moment. Now with her body already unable to move at all, she no longer knew how to defend herself, she said, plus he was already convinced that the Xio man before him right now was very strong and that trying to escape from him would not work. And since she believes Xio is so powerful, maybe Meryl can count on Xio to help her figure out what his king is doing strangely.

With a blushing face, Meryl innocently said. "What does it mean to obey your orders? Are you gonna tell me to do naughty things like put it-"

"No way!" Firmly Xio while stomping his feet on the floor made everyone there surprised. "Never think of doing such things with me, for at any moment it will not happen. Remember that!" Add it with an intimidating look.

While Leon and Lena beside Xio were astonished why his father looked angry just now, and what he meant.

"Ba-nice." Meryl replied with a trembling voice of fear. Meryl did not know that Xio was very sensitive if he was alluded to such things as he had asked earlier. Though Meryl thinks that strong or powerful people like Xio will be crazy lust.

"Good, and next time wear a more closed top." Xio. "I just want you to take care of my two children while I operate. Because I'm not used to moving with other people." Added.

"Then how can I guess you'll help me?" Ask Meryl.

"A father won't teach you what it is to lie in front of his children." Xio answered turning towards Leon and Lena beside him and stroking their heads in turn.

Leon and Lena smilingly closed her eyes permeating the warmth of Xio's gentle strokes.

"Okay, for the sake of this kingdom I agree!" Meryl cried out firmly.

***

In a well-lit room thanks to the light coming in from the ventilation holes in the walls, as well as from the glass windows. The room is luxurious with gold-plated furniture and a large bed that looks soft.

"Have they come back?" Ask a red-orange haired woman who is lying on a bed with a mermaid position sunbathing on land. Her open clothes showed her level legs and smooth thighs, as well as her slim stomach, navel, and cleavage.

"It's been my consort's time they've managed to convince the kingdom of Garren and the kingdom of Aedion for his meeting." Answer the flat expressionless pointed-ear man standing beside the bed facing the woman.

"Good.." said the woman with a sly smile. "Now I'll just wait till they're in my hands." Mumbled.

***

Back to Xio's side.

It's already afternoon. Leon and Lena go take a bath in Meryl's bathroom. While his father was talking to Meryl in the dining room that fused with the kitchen. Not to forget about Heldir who always flew near Xio's shoulders.

"Gold, silver, and bronze." Answer Meryl.

Crakk!

On the table appeared a pouch that opened so that it showed its contents full of gold coins.

Meryl's eyes immediately sparkled at the bag full of gold, like the first time I saw such a large amount of gold coins. 

Xio lectured Meryl's expression looking at the gold coin. Because he knew the value of the currency on the elf continent was still low, and Meryl's salary for one week was only paid 1 gold coin and 20 silver coins.

"Buy me and the kids clothes. And buy groceries, me and my son won't eat the stale food you have." Xio said a little sarcastically.

"But this is too much." Meryl looked at Xio. He thought that many gold coins might be able to survive for several years.

"The rest just take it. Think of it as my son's babysitter." 

"What ti-"

"I told you I didn't get any questions. Go there quickly!" Xio exclaimed with an annoyed face. He doesn't like to talk to anyone but his family.

"Ba-good! Thanks you! Thanks!" Meryl bowed her chest slightly and went out of the house.

"Xio!" Heldir.

"Hm?" Deheman replied by Xio, but did not look at him.

Heldir flew before Xio's face because he felt he was not in the air.

"I wonder, are you still normal?" Ask Heldir.

"What do you mean it's still normal?" Xio asked back.

"The elf girl just now clearly liked you, and she seemed willing to give up her body for you. I also felt that she was still a saint untouched man. Are you really not interested? Her body is so sexy. If I were you, I might have eaten a pair of heaven's great fruits all day." Heldir said with a flushed face imagining indecent things while smiling to himself.

"That's why I don't like working with women. Any woman I've ever met would have liked me right away, they've only seen my appearance." Xio.

"Does that mean you like men better?" Cletuk Heldir's.

Xio took out a wooden spoon on the table and made it float using the shadow in front of him Heldir.

"Imagine this is your body." Xio.

Krakk!

The wooden spoon broke into pieces.

"This is what happens when a stupid old elf comes along who talks." Firm Xio.

Gulp!

Heldir swallowed his saliva with difficulty as Xio seemed to be seriously saying that.

Xio raised both his legs on the table. While looking up at the sky of the room he said. "I hate a traitor and a domestic destroyer. Because I've seen and felt firsthand the feeling of being crushed when betrayed by the person I trust the most, and split in two by unknown people just to please him... I do not want to betray my family that I have built myself with affection. And I don't want my wife and son to feel as divided as I've ever felt. I won't let anyone disturb the peace I've created for the people I love." 

Heldir was moved to hear Xio's melancholy speech. He had no idea that in his second life Xio would have another painful experience.

"I'm sorry, man." Heldir's words flew to Xio's side and patted his shoulders with his small hands.

"The past can't be fixed, but the future can be created." Xio.

"Our father is done!" Leon and Lena ran out of the bathroom with a kimono towel. The two of them ran towards Xio with their hair still slightly wet.

"Don't run around falling." Xio.

"Hehe.." The two of them chuckled after Xio's memorial. 

"Here let papah dry your hair." Xio said patting his thighs signaled they were sitting there. 

Leon and Lena walked up close and sat on Xio's thigh. He pulled out a towel from his inventory and began to dry Leon and Lena's hair by wiping their hair with a towel while chatting with the two of them.

"Fuck! Borrow papah's cell phone!" Lena Excited.

Xio paused for a moment rubbing their hair using a towel, and took out his phone. Having just pulled out the phone, Xio only realized that he had gotten a message from Ellisa.

He smiled as he opened the message, which contained pictures of Nathan and Tassa's cuteness, but there was no picture of Ellis. 

"Would you like to see your sister?" Ask Xio.

"You! Want to!" Leon and Lena are excited.

Xio also showed the phone screen to the two of them.

"It's very worrisome. I want to bite that chubby cheek." Leon said to be Nodded Lena.

"Father is the same. But I'll be scolded by mama." Xio.

"Borrow." Lena and Xio handed it over.

Lena opened the camera on the phone and invited her sister to take a selfie.

"Isn't he invited?" 

"No! We'll send the picture to Mamah so papah don't follow me first." Answer Lena. 

They were both engrossed in selfie sitting on Xio's lap, so that only the chest to Xio's waist was visible in the pictures. 

"Here let Papah take care of it to your mama." Xio. He looked at the first one-by-one pictures Leon and Lena took, and he liked the picture the most when they both hugged him, but unfortunately did not see the face of him.

'hehe if you want to receive cute pictures of children, I can too.' He pressed the send button.

"Heldir please take a picture of the three of us!" Said Xio handing his phone to Heldir whose body was even smaller than Xio's phone. So Heldir had to use magic to lift it.

"What is this thing?" Tanya Heldir first saw a cell phone.

"Don't ask too many questions quickly just do it. Take a good angle, if you've pressed this button." Xio Instructions.

Heldir did as Xio commanded.

With the kitchen setting of the elves' house, as well as Leon and Lena still wearing towels, a moment when a king of the world holds a daughter and her prince who just finished bathing has been immortalized.
