?'s POV

"Love? What's the matter?"
I looked at my beloved wife who's seems to have a sudden headache.

"Someone's here..."
Indeed , I looked through the window and found some black figure walking towards our shelter.

Grabbed my sword , telling my wife to stay indoor while dealing with the unknown guest.

I opened the door slowly cause of my long non battle body.

"Good day , Sir."

"Prince Asch! Your majesty." I bowed down as respect and my wife rushed next to me and bowed down as well.

"We need your help. I have this patient here and hope you can lend a helping hand."

"Anything for you , your majes-" I looked up.....

I can't believe my own eyes....

What is this feeling inside me?

Happiness?

Anger?

Or.....
Miss....

"Sweetie.... Please tell me this is...."

I just can't believe it....

My long lost daughter....

She's back....

"Love....get Dorth now..."

Pierce's POV

"You did change a lot since years ago." "Thanks for the praise , Healer Dorth. Your healing skills were still like the old times.""Take care of her. Hope to see you next time."

"I don't know what to say.... You boys brought my long lost girl..."said Mrs.Clef while patting on Jupiter's forehead who's once again suffer from the effects of the gelsemium. "Wait , Pierce. F.O.C , it means-" "Family of Clef? Yes."I answered Leif.

"Jupiter did got injured and got healed by Healer Dorth who's their close relatives years ago.""Fascinating. You really are a close friend to Jupiter.""Not just any friend , right Pierce?"I immediately looked away and scratched my head when Mrs. Clef said so.

"Pierce , could you come here for a moment?"I looked at Mr. Clef who just thanked Prince Asch and others who just left without me in order to keep an eye on her."She'll be fine."I set her onto the pillow and walked out of the room quietly.

"First of , thanks for bringing Jupiter back to us.""She had been gone in our life for years. We thought she's dead or what sort until...."

"Jupiter's a friend of mine. It's a pleasure to fulfill your wishes. Her parents need her too.""I'm still angry about the fact the time we met her she was injured. Because of..?"I immediately looked down.

"She's.....trying to keep Daemos and me.... away from danger.""How do you even be a-!""Never mind old hag. Pierce brought her back , isn't that good already? Besides , there's a another reason we have this conversation with our girl's soulmate." Thanks to Mrs. Clef who let Mr. Clef spared a life of mine-

Wait , did she said-

"Take this , don't return to us."Mrs. Clef opened one of the cabinets with a black box in her grip and passed it to me.

I opened the lid and found two silver rings in the box. I grabbed one of the ring and found the word "F.O.C" was engraved in the ring."This is...""Pierce it's definitely obvious that you had feelings on my daughter. Like she did so much for you."

"Wait , are you-""Yes , you're right. We're already some old souls. We do wish you could take care our daughter when we're gone one day..." "My lover's right. Besides , she's a goddess of yours you need to protect. All you got to do now was to propose to her one day , put that ring on her finger , settle."

"You know about-" "While you're taking care Jupiter for us , Lady Melody did took a tour to our house and told about the responsibility and the deeds that my daughter just succeeded.""She never won a battle... till today. You did make our daughter grow up. We sure that you two are able to be hand in hand, and walk on."

Second person's POV

"Thanks...."Pierce looked at the two rings in the box and head back to Jupiter's room.

"Look at your daughter in law , so happy , isn't he?""He even make my sweetheart injured , how can you even-"Right Mr. Clef was about to mumble about Pierce's mistake , Mrs. Clef quickly place a kiss on his lips.

"Shush up love. He had passed your test. A promise is a promise , isn't it?""Whatever you said... my love." Mrs. Clef giggled and set off to clean up the mess that her uncle just made up.

Pierce's POV

I set Jupiter in a sitting posture and put her head on my shoulder slowly. I smiled and looked at the rings that were shining under the candle light.

A groan sound split out from Jupiter's mouth. I looked at her nervously while hiding the box in my pocket. "Pierce...""I'm here-" She looked at me her eyes that aren't fully open. But I can still see her white aura in her eyes.

Her arm suddenly snaked around my neck and placed a caress on my lips roughly. At first , I was shock for her sudden action. After getting some time to react , I hold her head and kiss her back. Touching her hair to her horns , she freaked out and remove her lips away from mine.

I looked at her soft eyes , making her numb , giving me a chance to lean down and slip my tongue in her mouth.She put her hand around my neck and to my horns."Pierce , is she-" I immediately let go , wipe away the liquid and act normal while Jupiter just hold my arm tightly and asking his father to calm.

"Ba , just chill. Wait- What am I even doing-""We brought you back home , dummy."I giggled her childish yet cute action while pinching her nose. "*cough* Never mind , I had trust this soulmate of yours. It doesn't matter when I saw my daughter making out with my daughter in law.""Thanks for trusting me , Sir Clef.""What soulma-""So , what's for the sudden entering , Sir?" I covered my lover's mouth.

"The king wants to see you two. A message from your non manners friend. Ugh , phasing around , won't he be tired?...."We looked at each other , giggling at the person that my father in law's talking about.
