Enjoying Life With Do As You Please System
Chapter 100: A Perfect SolutionThe room fell into a thoughtful silence. Everyone pondered how to resolve a heartbreak crisis involving a four-thousand-year-old deity.
[PFTTTTHAHAHA!] Paige’s voice erupted inside my mind, practically rolling on the floor in virtual hysterics. [Host! Your mother’s protective death-glare just completely shut down the great Alistair Rothschild! That was peak motherly authority!]
’I know, right?’ I chuckled mentally. ’Mom is terrifying when she wants to be.’
While everyone was lost in thought, Val hesitantly raised her hand from where she stood near the entrance. Julian turned his head toward her, gesturing calmly. "Speak your mind, Valerie."
Val took a small step forward, her posture rigid as she delivered her tactical assessment. "Lord Alistair... if Goddess Ishtar believes Young Master Seth rejected her simply out of disinterest or personal distaste, her divine pride and authority take a direct, devastating hit. However... if she is informed that he turned her down because he was already bound to a prior, deep-seated romantic commitment or formal engagement... the context shifts entirely."
Val looked at Alistair, her dark eyes steady. "It changes the narrative from a personal rejection of her beauty to an unfortunate conflict of prior loyalty. A goddess of honor can accept a man remaining loyal to his existing bond."
I looked over at Val, genuinely impressed by her sharp, analytical mind. ’Damn, Val... that’s actually a brilliant angle.’
"Brilliant!" Alistair suddenly slapped his broad thighs in excitement, his face lighting up with absolute delight. "That is an absolute masterstroke of logic, Valerie."
Grandfather whipped his head around to look directly at me, his eyes gleaming. "Seth! Are you currently in a formal relationship with anyone?"
I paused. Technically, Yerin and I were very much together, and Yoona had just joined our little circle last night. But Yerin had explicitly asked me to keep our relationship secret for a little while longer, at least until her farewell concert wrapped up and we could handle things better. So, keeping my promise to Yerin, I shook my head. "No. Officially, I’m completely single."
A broad, mischievous grin spread across Alistair’s face. "Have you met Yoona yet?"
I saw where he was going with this coming from a mile away, but I played along, nodding casually. "Yeah. Yoona picked me up in the military transport and brought me back to the Capital."
"Are you willing to marry Yoona?" Alistair asked directly.
BOOM.
The entire skybox froze. Even Julian raised an eyebrow in genuine surprise, while Alice blinked in astonishment at Alistair’s sudden, outrageous proposal.
Alistair didn’t hesitate, quickly laying out his grand reasoning to the room. "Listen to me! This solves two massive problems at once! As everyone here knows, Yoona is the official heir to the main branch of the Rothschild family. If she were to marry into an outside faction in the future, that outsider would gain unprecedented access to our highest family secrets, a scenario I have always strongly disliked."
Grandfather gestured toward me, his voice booming with absolute satisfaction. "But if Seth marries Yoona, everything stays completely within the family! Seth already possesses Rothschild Mark, holds authority with Origin, and keeps our inner sanctum completely secure! On top of that, we can formally announce their engagement to the supernatural world, giving Ishtar an airtight, honorable reason for Seth’s rejection that completely preserves her divine pride."
Alistair looked around the room, clapping his hands together. "It is an absolute win-win! What does everyone think?"
Julian took a calm sip of his drink, giving a simple shrug. "It is not my decision to make. It rests entirely with the children."
Alice looked between me and Yoona, her expression softening into a warm smile. "I personally think it would be a wonderful, beautiful match... but ultimate decision making lies solely with Seth and Yoona. We will not force either of them."
In an instant, every pair of eyes in the room, Alistair, Julian, Alice, Val, and even little Dylan, turned toward Yoona and me, waiting for our answers.
I sat there, completely caught off guard by how fast my grandfather had just tried to arrange a marriage between me and the woman I had literally slept with a few hours ago. Before I could open my mouth to navigate the chaotic situation, Yoona smoothly pushed herself up from the leather sofa.
Adjusting her elegant summer dress with flawless grace, Yoona offered the room a serene, captivating smile.
"Grandfather, Aunt Alice..." Yoona spoke, her soft voice carrying smoothly across the skybox. "...may Seth and I step outside into a private room for a minute to discuss this before we give our final decision?"
"Of course, my dear," Alice said with a warm smile.
Yoona turned her dark eyes toward me, flashing a subtle, alluring glint that made my heart leap into my throat. "Shall we, Seth?"
"Lead the way," I chuckled, standing up from my armchair.
With the entire family watching us, Yoona and I walked out of the main skybox lounge and into a small, luxurious private waiting room right next door.
The moment the heavy wooden door clicked shut behind us, Yoona reached up to her chest, tapping a delicate silver pendant hanging around her neck.
HUMMMMMM.
A faint, translucent crimson dome expanded outward from the necklace, enveloping the entire private room before settling into the walls. Yoona turned around, resting her back against the door with a smooth, captivating smile.
"It’s a localized sound-cancellation and optical concealment barrier," she explained casually, adjusting her floral summer dress. "Even Grandfather won’t be able to hear or see what we’re doing in here. Which means... we are completely free to do whatever we want."
Before I could even offer a witty reply, Yoona took two quick strides, launched herself straight into my arms, and wrapped her legs around my waist.
MMPH!
Her soft, manicured hands cupped my face, pulling my head down as she captured my lips in a deep, fiery, passionate kiss. I instinctively wrapped my arms around her thighs to support her weight, matching her intensity as our tongues tangled together in a sweet, intoxicating rhythm.
