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.
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.
"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.
