“R-Really?” she asks, eyes going wide. “Do-Do you really mean that?”
“Of course I do kiddo. I only want what's best for each of you.” you tell her, raising your hand off her shoulder, picking her hat up off her head so you can reach over with your other, ruffling her hair. She weakly protests this, you continuing for another moment or two before setting her hat back down on her head. “As long as you follow the most important rule.”
“The strong rule, and the weak either submit or die.” she answers immediately, you seeing the blonde beside her looking worriedly towards her. “I haven't forgotten, father.”
“What? Milha, what...?” the woman asks, Milha turning to her.
“That is the truth of the universe. If you aren't strong enough to protect what's yours, someone will come along and take it from you, Lalatina.” your daughter tells her seriously, the woman blushing as her name is said. “That's why my father became the strongest. So all of us would be allowed to live out our lives as we wanted.”
“Exactly.” you reply. “Besides, you're not the only one I know who feels that way.”
“Wait, what?” she asks you, looking confused. “What do you mean?”
“You remember Sarada, right?” you ask her, her brows raising in confusion. “Leyas' sister?”
“Wait, her? Really?” your daughter asks. “I never would have thought... Huh.”
“Yeah, poor Turles found out the hard way, back when we were all younger.” you say, remembering back with a chuckle. “But that was back during the Tuffle War, on Planet Vegeta.”
Your reminiscing is interrupted, however, as your daughter suddenly flies up to you, wrapping her arms around your neck.
“Thank you.” she whispers in your ear, squeezing you tighter a moment before letting you go. “For everything.”
“Of course. I'm glad coming here worked out for you.” you tell her, your daughter walking over towards Koruza. But you reach out, placing a hand on Lalatina's shoulder, stopping her. “You.”
“Yes?” she asks, turning around. Her expression immediately drops seeing your own change, brows furrowed at her. “What is it?”
“You'd better treat my daughter right.” you tell her simply. “If I hear you hurt her, if she ever calls me for help because of you. You're dead. Understood?”
