Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 230 Mother-in-law

The sun emperor might already know about this since his daughter had always been more likely to spend her time with Yunan than go back home, it has been almost 10 years since they last saw her, meanwhile they knew that she left the dungeon at least a dozen times in vacations with Yunan, she even sacrificed her standing with her organisation to stand by his side when he was hit by an unknown illness.

If it was not for Lili leaving behind the legion and joining Reina in her organisation Yunan would have taken the two back, but he decided against it because personal relationships and making contact with the world were important for a royal, but now that both reach the 40th floor they had no obligation to stay in the organisation.

Yunan thought maybe it was time to start preparing for the reunion of the Valyrians, he was thinking about making a team made only of his girls and let them roam the dungeon at their leisure, while he would clear as many floors as possible, that way when they reached the 50th floor he can guide them safely, anyway that is all in the future and at the moment he was about to meet his in-laws. The scariest part about marriage according to the married men out there.

When the three of them arrived at the sun islands they were received by a cortege to ensure safety, not that a level 40 adventurer would be at any danger, it was always good to take precautions, the cortege was rather eye-catching and looked like a sore thumb amidst the peaceful roads of the sun imperial city, although Yunan and Reina did formally inform their emperor, and asked him to keep the visit only known to himself and his empress, somehow it leaked and the palace gates turned into the waiting place where the citizens of the imperial city wanted to catch a glimpse of their Princess who left 12 years ago and returned gloriously with a husband.

To those in the Dungeon, Yunan was a myth, his own accomplished deeds could not be blown out of proportions because they were already the stuff of legend. Finding a hidden boss in the 25th floor and slaying it before anyone could make it to his location. Ferrying parties through the gauntlet of the 29th floor like he was passing through without resistance. And the most recent news, he had found and killed the bosses from the 30th to the 39th floor when the rest could not even venture a few miles away.

Add in the taming of the silver mouse and causing the downfall of the hanging palace, and you get Yunan the legend, and like any legend it passed through the guild employees to the population of Burkan and then it would be spread across the world, and for such legendary deeds, it was hard to even change them in any way lest they lose their lustre.

Reina being acquainted with Yunan was something whispered of since his first glorious deed was spread out, he was already too high profile in being the outstanding student of the Debauchery party, and with his great deeds getting more and more ridiculous, his status as a friend of the imperial princess was common knowledge for the citizens of the sun islands, and when the news leaked out that the imperial princess has managed to bring back the man with her and pull him away from his own harem, it was like the nation's pride was satisfied by marrying a hero.

It was true that Yunan and Reina had an agreement to be together eventually, so this marriage thing was an inevitability, however the circumstances of Reina's birth and position was a bit too hard to keep away from their relationship, after all, an imperial princess being just another girl in a harem that had servants, slaves, teachers and fellow students, was a bit hard to swallow especially because she was the one chosen to be either an empress or a guardian, she was chosen after all and didn't enter the dungeon willingly.

The source of all that headache can be nipped in the bud if Yunan just took the easy way out and proposed a marriage between himself and Reina, thus keeping the prospective suitors at bay while bringing Reina officially into the ranks of his women, although Reina was not all nitpicky about it, she loved the idea of being Yunan's only queen, an honour none but her shall have, even if he married Lili and Sarah, she would be the queen and they would be consorts and concubines.

Facing such an enthusiastic reception Yunan and Reina left their carriage and walked their way to the gate followed by Kitty, although Yunan was only royal by name he knew how the common folk loved for their betters to pay attention to them and recognise their existence, the simple act of walking instead of riding in the carriage just won Yunan 1000 popularity points in the sun islands. The duo held hands and walked through the gate to the forbidden palace.

Yunan noticed that there were very few guards and security at the gate, only two guards who stopped and questioned them as per protocol and then let them pass, they must do that or they would risk Reina being punished by the ancestral spirits for breaking the law that says when the sun royalty steps beyond the gate they are nothing but commoners, and thus even if Reina was the empress who unified Burkan, in the sun islands she would be treated like the next commoner passing by, however, Yunan was afforded the courtesy befitting a hero-king whose name resounded at such a young age.

After walking through the magnificent gate, Yunan had the feeling it was designed to make one feel the holiness and gravity of the location, one that is defiled by his presence and each step he took had an invisible weight clinging to him from his foul presence.

That feeling however disappeared when he felt the shaking hands of Reina, she was blushing so furiously it had gone down to her chest all the way down from her ears, Yunan calmed the girl down but grabbing a feel here and there, and tickling her a bit to ease her stress, well they did not have to walk long before a mature version of Reina but with only one tail appeared before them.

"Her Highness the fourth imperial concubine, lady Mito" announced a female servant from behind in a most respectful and worshipping voice. Reina threw herself at Mito who was attempting to bow in traditional greetings but was interrupted by her own daughter, "hi there mother-in-law, don't bother with formalities we are family after all" Yunan also added his own hug embracing both of them.

Mito disengaged from both and said in a disappointed tone " I thought you would remember the things I taught you even if you forgot to visit me, seems like you forgot both". "That would be the fault of our teachers, etiquette was the last thing we were worried about when dying from exhaustion was a possibility, or worse receive punishment for not dying from exhaustion, that kind of environment stripes you down to the bare minimum of personality and behaviour, her hug now was saying, "Mommy, I missed your comfortable chest" well forget that, is the old emperor waiting for us? I would like to conclude business first".

"How vulgar, both of you need re-education, and those teachers of yours too, how dare they erase my years of hard work", Yunan and Reina nodded like little pecking chicks, Mito was giving out the pissed off mother vibe, and Yunan knew from experience that not even the wrath of Debauchery would compare to angry mother, the next moment he looked at Reina and found she looked at him too, they had one of those telepathic moments couples boated about having during such times "think Balin and Dustan can be trained into being all nice and proper?".

Both giggled at the odd thought and that earned them a few glares from Mito who was soon smiling silly while caressing her daughter while she clung to her like a little child, mothers were frightening creatures when angry, but were the most tender when their offspring were in their embrace.
