Chapter 87: God's descent (2)
"So you received a blessing of a god, seems like I was right to not attack you" the leviathan leaned away
Jake was the most shocked at this revelation, Dabria was crying, I felt kinda bad for keeping this away from her, but Nova asked me not to.
-Why didn't you tell Dabria that her brother is alive?- Diana scolded
-He told me not to, so I complied, besides he's not really, you know, alive-
-What do you mean?- Siege asked
-He's only a remnant that the real Nova left, he's the one who has been answering Dabria's follower's prayers and everything-
"So I see you are not a reincarnation but a host, but to think Nova is alive and in front of me at this moment makes me so happy" he cried and kneeled
"Well I tried, but you guys were the ones who didn't listen"
"I'm not alive, I'm only a remnant, but please continue to treat Perseus as you usually do" he replied and turned to me "How's the state of my sister?"
"She's crying, just know that after this, she won't be speaking to me ever again"
"She'll forgive you...somehow" he said
"If you didn't hesitate, then you would've made me feel a whole lot better"
I then turned to professor Emma who was looking at me also in shock, I then put a finger on my lips
"Please keep this a secret" and she responded with a nod
"I assume that you do not need me for anything else?" Nova questioned the leviathan
"No" she shook her massive head "I was just asking out of my curiosity, I would not attack a human that is under your protection"
"Well he's not really under my protection" he the walked towards me and placed his hand on my shoulder, he whispered "We'll talk about this later, sister"
He then turned to everyone else
"Please keep what you see today a secret, I maybe a peaceful god but there are many things I can do to make your life a whole lot worse" he announced before disappearing

"Jake and Professor Emma already gone to dine with the royals, and we're going to join them, so you 2 can talk here while we join them"
Nova appeared first
"How do you know the trouble we were in?"
He pointed in my jacket
"I placed my blessing on your armor, so I join you on your day to day life while I'm free" he explained
"So we were lucky then"
Dabria then appeared, she had tears still in her eyes, she hugged Nova who then comforted her.
"Come on guys, let's go, we'll give them some room for now" I said as me and my bonds left our suite to give them their room to talk
We then went to the large dining area where we were having a feast, since the king and the prince barely ate during their time in that small cavern.
"Is there anything else you're hiding from me?" Professor Emma asked
"Umm, that should be about it actually"
-That's a lie, no one knows about me yet- Diana said
-Apart from us, Albert and Aenon, the leviathan was too focused on me, otherwise she would've exposed you too-
"Did everyone who was at the scene kept what happened today a secret?"
"Of course" the prince answered "We even got a mage with a curse attribute to place spells on them to prevent them from speaking of the incident"
"So I'm curious, how old was the leviathan we just met?"
"She was probably born around the same time as my grandfather, so I'd say 600 at the very least" Cordelia answered
-Leviathan would be in the same category of the dragon, so that should be normal, especially if it's a black core- Damon explained
"Wait grandfather? 600? How old is your father?"
"I should turn 303 years old this year" the king answered as he wiped his mouth with a napkin "My son would be 112, I think"
"I turn 110 this year" the prince corrected
-So you hit on an old woman, nice!- Ace chuckled
-You do have strange taste in women- Siege shook his head
-You know what, if it works, it works, as long as there's love- Diana tried to reassure me
Cordelia giggled at my shocked expression
"I'm only 19, you do not have to worry" Cordelia snickered
-I have so many questions right now, but I'll just keep them to myself-
-I'm with you on that one- Damon nodded
"We must thank you for saving us and the kingdom, are there any request that we can fulfill?" the king asked
"Yeah, a couple if you don't mind"
"Ask away" he smiled "As long as it is within our power"
*****
"I would kiss you right now if you were here, that's great news" Eliza said
-I wouldn't mind a kiss from her actually-
-You still have a couple years before you can go for her, remember your own words- Diana reminded
We were on a terrace in the royal palace over looking the kingdom since the twins haven't finished their discussion yet.
"That's really great" Luke nodded "Free lessons from a royal forgemaster and we don't even have to swear our loyalty"
"Yeah the only downside is that you guys have to move to this kingdom"
"Yeah, we will, what's the kingdom called again?" Luke asked
"Neelofar kingdom, you guys don't have to worry about housing, they got it covered"
-They even taught us how to put a warp gate spell inside a crystal- Ace added
"How's your progress with the princess?" Eliza asked
"Wait who told you guys this?" my face was starting to get red again
"Damon called us, and your parents too, I laughed a lot" Luke chuckled
"Not bad" Damon answered "He has a chance"
"So it won't be long till I have a sister in law" Eliza replied "Go for it"
-Did I just got friendzoned?-
-It's kinda obvious- Siege responded
-Please don't add fuel to the fire, he looks like he wants to die- Diana said
-Wow, cheating on Cordelia already, I don't remember bonding with such a person- Damon added
Ace was laughing his butt off on the floor

"He plans on moving his family to that kingdom already?!" Professor White exclaimed
"We're already losing him to another kingdom" Professor blue looked stressed
"Apparently he also got smitten by their princess" Professor Steel added "I mean unless we got another princess of our own that can flirt with him, he's as good as theirs"
"What about young Eleanor?" Professor Williams suggested
"We can't" the headmaster shook his head "My nephew already has candidates for her, Albert and her bodyguard, Balor. I would suggest Professor's Steel's sister because she is single at the moment but he is far too young"
"Headmaster, after this semester ends, don't we have a ball?" Professors Woods who is usually quiet at the meeting joined in "Since it's to celebrate our win at the inter-academy competition, we can invite some beautiful girls from different noble faction to come, if he were to marry one of them, he'll be good as ours"
"Well that is a good suggestion, Professor Woods" the headmaster nodded "But we must also use this opportunity to show Perseus' talents, we want more talented students to join our school after all"

We were in our suite after the 2 gods finished their talk
"Well it's time for me to go, I can't stay too long like this as a remnant, goodbye Perseus, I will see you in your dreams" He waved before vanishing off
"Next time, tell me even if he says not to, because otherwise I will slap you both" Dabria said
"Yes boss" I sarcastically saluted
"You two's silliness are the same, I don't necessarily hate that" She had a little smile on her face
"You should give me a hug when you say something like that next time"
"I'll think about next time" she replied before disappearing
-So there's a next time? Nice!-
-She warmed up to you quick, unlike the first time you 2 were together- Ace said
-Shut up the both of you, and we were never together- Dabria retorted
