My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 590: Son in Law

"Is something troubling you?" Eren asked Lysander, wondering what could possibly make the strongest man in the world worry.

Was there really a problem in this world that Lysander couldn't solve on his own? If that were the case, it would be a perfect opportunity for Eren to get the man to owe him a favor.

"If there's anything I can do to help, please tell me. Even if I'm not as strong as you, I might be able to help in other ways," he added, trying to get Lysander to open up.

Even after his insistence, Lysander seemed hesitant.

"It's nothing. Let's go and eat." He lightly patted Eren's shoulders before walking away.

"Is this related to your daughter?" Eren asked, making Lysander come to a sudden halt.

If even the strongest man in this world couldn't solve this problem, then it could only be one thing. It was a problem that was related to his daughter. Even if a father was strong, there were times when they couldn't solve problems when it came to their children.

"Did I make it that obvious?" Lysander asked, revealing a little surprise. Eren had caught the crux of his problem. After a brief period of silence, he sighed. "I might actually need your help, as I can't seem to think of a solution to my problem. No... Maybe you're the only person who can help me."

He cast a domain around them to slow down the flow of time for them, as if he was worried that he might be late for dinner with his daughter if he spent time talking.

Within the time domain, he could spend as much time as he wanted and only a few seconds were going to pass outside.

He looked left and right. Even if he was strong enough to sense even the weakest of presence around them, he still acted cautiously. His hesitation was clear as day.

After a brief period of silence, he said, "It is a problem related to my daughter. She seems to be spending a little too much time with another girl."

"What?" Eren didn't know how to react. That was the problem? He was worried that his daughter might be interested in another girl?

Was that the reason he didn't seem to hate when he flirted with her? Was it because he would've been happy as long as his daughter was with a man at least?

"I have confirmed that there is nothing romantic between them, but I am still worried," Lysander said.

"They seem to be spending too much time with each other. Every time I try to introduce my daughter to another man, she completely ignores them, not showing even the slightest of interests."

"At this rate, she will never get married. No, that's not even my biggest worry. I'm worried that one day she might fall in love with that girl, and marry her."

At the end of the day, Lysander was from earth. Even if he lived here for centuries, he was still more conservative in his thinking. He wanted his daughter to marry a man, and start a family of her own. However, for years, it felt like a faraway dream.

Eren also understood a lot of things. He thought his system was simply trying to bully him with those options, but it became clear that it was to guide him towards this moment.

It made him have a bad feeling about this. He had already revealed that he had some romantic interests in Estelia. And now he even promised that he was going to help Lysander solve his problem.

He had already entered the quicksand, and he could already feel what was coming for him.

"Maybe you're just overthi-" He tried speaking, trying to ensure that he wasn't dragged into this mess. Unfortunately, he was too late.

Lysander grabbed his shoulders, looking at him earnestly. "You like my daughter, don't you? It's what we call love at first sight on earth, right?"

The way Lysander was looking at him, he didn't seem like he was looking. Eren had already fallen into this trap and there was no way to avoid this assumption.

If he said that he was not interested in her, it was going to imply that he was simply trying to mess with her when he kissed her hand and said a stupid but romantic poem for her.

More importantly, Lysander was going to feel like a fool for having exposed his deepest worries when Eren was simply messing with his daughter.

"T-that is correct. It was long at first sight." He gave up, and lied. Even if he was made to do it by the system, he couldn't shift that blame to anyone but himself.

"In that case, why don't you try to win my daughter's heart?" Lysander said in excitement as his eyes lit up.

The strongest man in hell was telling him that he wanted to become his father-in-law. It was something that would've normally made Eren somewhat interested, but the woman in question was Estelia who was even stronger than him.

He had already been threaded by her for flirting with her once. It wasn't an easy task as a single mistake might make him end up dead. But if he was successful, he might ensure his safety in hell for as long as he was here.

If he had a father in law like Lysander, then did he even need to worry about other Overlords or the people behind them? It was a risk that was worth taking.

In any case, he couldn't reject Lysander. It was better to offend his daughter than to offend Lysander, an existence over level hundred.

"How can I win her heart? She seems to hate me. I don't think she even wants to see me," he told Lysander. Even though he didn't say it outright, he made it clear that he needed Lysander's help. @@novelbin@@

"Don't worry about that. You are going to be living here. I will make sure that you get many opportunities to meet her. As long as you can win her heart before that vixen steals her heart, then..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning behind his words was clear.
