10x Rewards: Becoming Invincible With My Sign-in System-Chapter 247: Important Information

Aegon never took offence at small things, especially if it came from the people he loved. Besides, he knew Elara didn’t mean any harm. She was just trying to put her point... which made him think hard for a few seconds.

"You’re not wrong, but who is going to convince her?" Aegon sighed. "I mean, I’m not going to force her to do something she doesn’t like, but it would be good to see her enjoying her life."

[Well, she enjoys spoiling you, so we can’t even say she doesn’t enjoy her life. Why is she so weird?]

Aegon shrugged even though she couldn’t see it. Even he agreed that Xiu was a bit weird and definitely not right in the head. But was he going to complain? Definitely not.

He loved his strange and weird Xiu.

"Why are you in the mood for matchmaking all of a sudden anyway?" He asked.

[I love her too, Gon. Besides, remember the talk about the First Prince? It’s too suspicious. What if they have a history together and Aunt is in denial?]

Aegon hummed, as he had thought the same back then but didn’t pursue the topic. He said, "Xiu can be a bit dense at times, so I wouldn’t be surprised. How about we just confirm it?"

[How? Oh wait, Mom?]

"Of course," Aegon smiled. "The one person who isn’t afraid of Xiu."

[Hmm, considering her nosy personality, I’m sure Mom will actually help us out.]

Aegon rolled his eyes at her words and tried calling Aurelia while keeping Elara on the call. He had to say that this world was incredibly weird technology-wise. Well, he realised it yet again.

Technology was backward in many areas, yet the communication stone could actually do a conference call.

But then again, he was in a world where practically anything was possible with magic. As long as he found the right Runes and managed to make the right Rune Formation, he could achieve anything in theory.

Besides, the communication stone was a rarity that only the upper class enjoyed. He just never considered it much because he always lived in the top class.

People of status could buy tens of communication stones daily and it wouldn’t affect them in any way.

While all of this was a luxury for a mundane person, as it involved engraving a Rune Formation on the right stone and making sure it was durable enough to house one’s essence without turning into dust.

As his mind ran to random thoughts, the call connected and he heard a melodious voice from the other side.

[Hello, my dear son-in-law!]

Aegon blushed and words choked in his mouth.

[What? You don’t plan to just use my daughter and then throw her away, right?]

[Mom!!]

[Oh, you’re here too? See how he’s behaving even before the marriage? Wait, is he even marrying you?]

"I am!" Aegon spoke, gaining confidence from somewhere. "Aunt, I plan to marry her and spend the rest of my life with her."

[....]

[Awww~ you made my daughter blush, Little Gon.]

[I did not blush!!!]

[Sure, sure, whatever you want to believe, dear. I can sense your ears fluttering even from a distance. You’re bright red, aren’t you?]

[Hmph! I’m not falling for your tricks.]

[It’s fine, dear. Blushing from his words just means you love him, otherwise you’d actually feel repulsed by such words. Trust me, I know everything.]

[...so Ms. I-know-everything, can you please stop teasing us? If you don’t want to help us, then just say so. We’ll discuss Aunt Xiu ourselves.]

Now that immediately piqued her interest. Aegon chuckled quietly. ’Only her daughter can handle her overwhelming love.’

[Wait! Wait! What are you two planning? Don’t you dare leave me out of anything involving my Little Xiu.]

"That’s why we called you, Aunt. You’re her best friend, so you must know her well," Aegon said. "We were just talking, and the topic went to the vacant spot of her partner."

[I like the direction this conversation is going in.]

Aegon smiled and said, "Aunt, is there something between the First Prince and Xiu? Do they share some special past?"

[You’re putting me on the spot, Little Gon. I don’t think I can betray her and reveal her secrets. It’s too much of a burden.]

[Alright, thanks for the help, Mom. Gon, you can contact Senior Liliana. I’m sure she knows a lot about Aunt’s past.]

[Hold up! I didn’t say I wouldn’t help. Also, when did you become so manipulative, dear? Did the glass man really corrupt you?]

[I learned it from you, Mom. Also, what’s with you two giving so many names to Sir Amon?]

Aegon’s lips twitched hearing that. "Sir? I really wonder what he’s teaching you that you actually respect him."

[A lot. In any case, we’re going off the conversation again. What’s your decision, Mom? Are you going to help us?]

[Depends. What do you plan to do with it?]

"Depends," Aegon shrugged as well. "I want her to be happy, a lot. So if filling that vacant spot gives her that, I’ll make sure someone good fills it. If they really share a history, then perhaps I can add fuel to the flickering flames."

[Forgive me, Great Mother. But I’m siding with good and betraying my best friend for her sake.]

[Mom....]

Aegon could picture Elara facepalming while wondering why her mother was so dramatic.

[Alright, I’ll give you the important information. It is true that they share a past together, but I can’t speak on her feelings for him. Xiu can be dense as hell and doesn’t even realise what she’s doing and the effects she has on others.]

Aegon nodded in agreement.

[I’ve met Mike a few times. He’s a good guy, but I don’t know him personally, so I can’t speak too much about him. One thing I’m sure of is that he loved Xiu and that she was oblivious about it.]

Now that was interesting. Two dense people actually sharing a past together.

[The way he looked at Xiu, the things he did for her, the way he always remained calm around her, so many things made me realise that he loved her. And well, things didn’t go well, as you know, and they separated, so I don’t know about his current situation. You’ll have to confirm first if he’s still in love with her or not.]
