Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 684 - 223: Wait, I Saw the Incubus’s Little Tail (10K)_5
Richard's smile became even brighter, and he laughed, "Great, great, if only you could have come to the Lion Heart Battle Group earlier; many of the veterans in the Sky-splitting Knights want to meet you."
Kael was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "It was my unresolved issues that held me back."
In fact, as the primary supplier of the Lion Heart Battle Group's Three Magic Potions, Kael could have entered the White Bone Christmas Tree anytime by simply applying in advance.
After all, it's usually normal for suppliers like them to check the effectiveness of their magic potions and make slight adjustments as needed.
But Kael just didn't want to come here.
As for the reason, he was very clear—it was simply the fear of rekindling old memories.
After all... it was on the White Bone Christmas Tree that his father peacefully took his last breath.
So, even though he had been supplying the Three Magic Potions for almost a year, and knew that visiting could strengthen his relationship and connections with the Lion Heart Battle Group, Kael just hadn't come.
Richard, having guessed what Kael was thinking, patted his shoulder and said,
"Look forward, don't dwell here. I believe you can do it; many people are quietly watching and supporting you."
Kael silently nodded.
His incubus bloodline, having ascended twice, already allowed him to sense the emotional changes in others.
Richard's emotions were genuine and filled with goodwill, emotions that always left Kael a bit at a loss.
But... his mood improved considerably without him even realizing it.
Maybe this was a small pleasant surprise for today's visit?
However, what came next left Kael somewhat dumbfounded.
Thin, with faint dark circles… well, this didn't describe Richard, but rather the entire 1500-member Sky Splitting Cavalry Team.
In fact, when Kael arrived on the scene, he even saw someone huddled in a corner, fast asleep.
Kael looked over at Richard with a complex expression, opened his mouth wanting to say something, but eventually closed it.
What could he say? Tell Richard not to lead 1500 knights to stay up all night?
Kael snorted softly, not saying anything more.
Seeing so many knights looking so worn out, with their thin bodies and some still fast asleep in the corners, Kael couldn't help but feel like he had stumbled upon a group of underachievers feasting on state rations.
Although, seeing Flandre's nonchalant expression, he guessed there was more to it, but still?
This first impression really wasn't great.
Richard also seemed to think the scene wasn't a good look, directly walking to the corner and kicking awake a few knights who were fast asleep, laughing and cursing:
"Weren't you two waiting ages for Anthony's son? Now he's here, and you want to make a fool of yourselves in front of your nephew?"
Two knights groggily opened their eyes and got up, looking at Richard, they said:
"Where? Hold on... who knew they'd come so late today, I really couldn't hold on."
"Huh? I saw the incubus's little tail, found them..."
The two stretched lazily, ignoring their appearance, and walked over dressed in light armor.
One of them looked a bit older and patted Kael on the shoulder, saying:
"I was drinking buddies with your father. I'm ranked sixth in the family, just call me Uncle Emil."
The other one looked much younger, with a mouth full of shark teeth, somewhat resembling a famous shark-toothed game protagonist, Lance.
He grinned, pointing his thumb at himself, "Just call me Cousin, Inel, your real cousin, we're all from the same family."
Kael nodded, roughly understanding the situation.
With a curious glance, he looked at Inel, saying: "Are you of mixed heritage?"
Inel nodded.
Kael pondered thoughtfully. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Inel mentioning the same family obviously didn't refer to the Helois family; after all, he hadn't started having babies with Elanna and the Wolf Maid yet!
So the family in question was quite obviously...
The Lionheart Family members.
But compared to the Charles family, which valued bloodlines highly, this shark-toothed mixed-blood seemed to have some mermaid ancestry.
To be more precise, among marine creatures, those that align more with human aesthetics are mostly mermaids.
However, due to the dominant position of the mermaid race in marine creature bloodlines, offspring between mermaids and other marine creatures still turn out to be mermaids.
But this didn't mean the mixed-blood mermaid's ancestry disappeared.
Judging from Inel's appearance, Kael could roughly guess that one of his parents must have been a mixed-blood mermaid.
And in the generation of that mixed-blood mermaid, one of the parents was likely a mermaid, and the other a sharkman.
So by the time it reached Inel, he inherited a bit of sharkman blood, hence the shark teeth.
Kael showed a kind smile.
Though this supposedly mighty Sky-splitting Knights team looked quite odd, undoubtedly, whether it was Richard, Uncle Emil, shark-toothed Inel, or other Sky Splitting Knights who started gathering around...
