Chapter 175: Nostalgic taste
"Oh man, I should thank the chefs for this, Wyatt give them a raise after this"
Me and the seekers who went on the kraken mission were eating in the castle, it seems like everyone was hungry since the food were devoured so quickly without a regard for table manners
"As you wish, sir" He bowed
"Stop that, you know I don't like these formal stuff"
"You are a prince now, and as your aide, it is my duty to do these things" he replied
"You're older than me, it's making me uncomfortable. So how's the business doing?"
"It's going well, we are building more supermarkets at several more locations, and like you requested, we have donated a small portion of our profits directly to orphanages" He answered
"Yeah, work with ranger on improving the blood quality for our soldiers, mages or whatever, I can't have them eating low quality blood and expect them to serve me, I don't know much about blood since as a dhampir, I don't need to drink it like you guys, but get some researchers to help"
"Yes, of course" he replied before leaving
"You're surprisingly considerate" Bora commented
"I'm a prince, I'm expected to be able to do these kind of things, though I leave all my paperwork to my aides since I hate those."
"You really fit the title of a tyrant" he grumbled but I ignored it
"You truly are magnificent" Jake applauded "You care about your people so much, truly a gift of the gods"
-Oh how I do not missed this- Ace grumbled

"Good job, that's 1 down and 6 to go" Zach said as he took the necklace "The champions have the rest of the 6 creatures, but their location are closely guarded, and we do not know how many have been summoned since these creatures can be tamed"
-Dumb name-
-It's not like, seekers of salvation is any better- Damon scoffs
"By the way, sis said that they figured out your identity, so you can no longer go out with your Zachary West identity"
"Why do you call her sis now?" he asked curiously
"Well she still doesn't believe that I'm not your son, so I kinda gave in"
"Well you are, you're just stubborn" Stella said "Father is stubborn too in admitting it"
"We even proved it with blood resonance magic, we are not related. he's not my son" Zach argued
"You're a lich, maybe your blood changed, but I'm still calling him my little brother" Stella countered
"You both can leave and rest for now" Zach waved us away "Thanks for making me meat pies, Perseus. it's great, didn't think you'd take requests."
"Well if you have anymore tasks for me, just call" Me and my bonds then left his office along with Stella

"Despite reincarnating in another world, you still haven't lost your touch, brother" Zach smiled as he took another bite of the meat pie when they left "Yeah, I'm not calling you by that title again, heh. Can't believe we really got to meet again, it makes me feel really nostalgic for our old world a bit."
| Plot twist |
"You're the author of this world?" Zach asked as he looks around
| Kinda obvious, yeah |
"Can I break the 4th wall?" he asked with a mischievous smile
| Is this a perk that you siblings have that I don't know or something? |
"I'm gonna tell everyone my previous identity now and ruin everything you build up" he chuckled "I am-"
| Yeah, not happening...bitch. Feels good to say that |

"What are you working on?" Eliza asked
"A camera, a polaroid to be exact"
I was in the royal forge, working in a secluded corner, Eliza was curious on what I was working on so she came to check it out.
"A what?" she had a questioning look
"I got a prototype camera, see it can take pictures" Diana showed her
"And can't you just use an amulet to do that?" Eliza asked
"Um, yes, but Perseus thought about making a cheaper version to sell it to the public, since not everyone can afford a high quality amulet" Damon answered "And also he wants more money"
"You're already richer than most nobles, you can literally live without making anymore" Luke joined in "By the way, how was that Elliot guy you met the other day?"
"He's alright, I guess" Eliza answered "I'll keep looking, I still have time and if you hadn't scared most boys away, I'd probably be like Perseus right now, who is ditching his girlfriend to work in a forge"
"I am not ditching her, besides I don't have to be with her all the time."
-Damn it, the film printing is so low quality and so slow-
-Well at least we made progress- Ace said -We're going to the Loken continent after this right?-
-Yep, and there's so many more continents to explore for the stupid necklaces, and after we help the seekers for a bit, we'll have to prepare ourselves against the gods, Colden will come after us soon-
-Yeah, if you are this strong now, him and his group will not wait till you get stronger and interfere with his goals, he's currently hiding but if he decides to come out, he'll be coming with more- Dabria added -And to stand a chance against them, the full power of a corrupted isn't enough, you might be able to take them one on one if it's a young god, but dozens of them? Even with the seeker's help, the gods are too powerful-
-Yeah, I know that-

The king of Artia was holding his secret meeting with the higher ups of Artia.
"So a former graduate of our academy turns out to not only be a fake, but one of the greatest mages of all time" A noble exclaimed "What else is new?"
"The closest hint we get to what the seekers really want is Perseus Silver" Anthony pointed out "He's the only one in that organization that we hold the most information about"
"Well there is one method to lure him out, it is known that his only weakness is his family members, if we get one of them..." the head general suggested and the others knew what he's trying to say
"That would be good, but for safety reasons, they decided not to leave that Neelofar kingdom" Noble #2 pointed out "Apparently his family moved there to escape the sight of the Amana family, and their family friends move there to improve their careers too. So that plan is a dead end"
"Well he still have friends in this kingdom right? Maybe we can use them to lure him out" Noble #3 suggested
