Unexpected title

"Welcome back, dear!" A resounding voice greeted them in a feminine tone upon arriving at the Merciless Clan. The owner of that voice was no other than Paula. The tall man with chocolate skin color. And also one of the old members of the Merciless clan.

Eina reflexively gripped Eman's arm. That must have frightened her. Sol remained calm, but she shot a glare at Paula. Eman, on the other hand, rubbed his nose.

He nodded slightly and asked, "How's the clan in my absence?" It was a simple question that could be considered nonchalant.

Before responding to him, Paula noticed someone else with Eman. Curiosity appeared on his face. He never thought their leader would be bringing a beautiful girl and a kid.

Wait!

'A-are they…!' Paula exclaimed inwardly.

"Our dear leader, is she your wife, and the kid is your child?" He asked with a bright smile with his hands and fingers linked beside his face.

What--!
