Chapter 127 - 98 Female Camp Captain Karina
Pasipidas’s face suddenly turned red.
Maximus looked at him with a smile: "I heard you have a good relationship with Luxina, meeting her several times in private after your injury healed—"
"I... I didn’t! She only took care of me when I was sick, there’s nothing between us—" Pasipidas denied loudly, his face flushed.
Maximus looked surprised: "I originally thought you liked her and was ready to give you my blessings, but it turns out that’s not the case, what a pity!"
Pasipidas was taken aback, and despite his shyness, he immediately changed his tune: "Leader, I do like her, she... she likes me too, will you really bless us?!"
Pasipidas lowered his voice: "My father is opposed to this."
Maximus glanced at Pessianaxis, who was standing a little distance away with his back to them, and deliberately raised his voice with a smile: "You two are in love and can become a married couple, that’s a wonderful thing! I not only support you, but also once we find a true home and settle down, I’m willing to host your wedding and have everyone bless you both!"
"Really?!" Pasipidas looked thrilled.
"Of course, it’s true." Maximus replied, then shifted the topic: "You’ve been in this weapon workshop for over ten days, how do you feel?"
"It’s great! I never thought ironmaking and blacksmithing could reach this level, coming here has really opened my eyes and I’ve learned a lot!" Pasipidas said excitedly, but then lowered his voice: "However, the people here don’t like me or my dad, but they have nothing to be proud about. When it comes to blacksmithing skills, not one of them can surpass me, let alone my dad..."
"You two are outsiders, it’s normal not to be accepted at first. Once time passes and everyone gets familiar, it won’t be an issue. Work hard here, don’t be satisfied with just being a blacksmith, strive to learn everything here so you can take on greater responsibilities. Then, Luxina will be proud of you too!"
Maximus’s words encouraged the young man who was already excited by the good news, and he nodded vigorously, returning to Pessianaxis’s side, excitedly reminding him: "Father, you heard it all!"
