Chapter 178: Are you happy?

I was in a dream, I was in my old bed room, it was a bit of a mess. My novels weren't properly organized and my bed wasn't properly made either. I saw my old self just sitting on the chair surfing the internet.

My past self has grey hair, dark brown eyes and light brown skin while wearing a grey shirt and black shorts with reading glasses.

"To see my past self in a dream, my life really is like a cliché fictional novel"

"You seem happy" my past self commented "Well, at least I think so. Are you happy? I can barely recognize myself"

"Can't believe that we're the same person? I mean you were also happy once, especially when they were alive."

"Well I'll be gone when you resolve all your regrets, maybe bring me money next time, I want to buy myself a treat" he requested as he stared at the screen "Man, when will these games even update?"

He then turned to me with a serious expression.

"Oh by the way, he's waiting, so be careful" He said as the next time I blink, I was in a different place

I was in this frozen wasteland with a fierce blizzard and I saw a familiar old man.

"Yo Colden, long time no see. Are you also stalking me like the other gods for entertainment?"

"No," he sneered "If I was, the others will be able to trace it back to me, and this time, they'll strip my powers and eliminate me for good. But in a dream...there are many god of dreams, and being in a dream also makes it harder to trace it back to me or the god that helped me"

"Well why are you in my dream?"

"Just a friendly warning, it'll take time, but not just me, many others are after you and the other 2 reincarnates" He replied as his eyes then glowed brightly "Can't believe that Thames guy is still alive, to think he was smart enough to stay alive while it being unknown to the gods is really incredible, I'll give him that"

"By the time, you come after me, I'll be fully prepared"

"I look forward to your struggle" he laughed as I was shook awake by Cordelia

"Wake up" she said with a concerned tone

I was in her bedroom, and I see our clothes lying all across her room, Cordelia is beside me with a worried expression.

"Isn't it a bit...early?" I yawned as I got up

"Your body was cold all of a sudden, it was like touching ice. You feel normal now since you just woke up" she answered "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, Colden invaded my dream and gave me a warning, but don't worry about it and get some rest" I said as I played with her hair and fall back onto my pillow.

"Alright then" she looked relieved to know that I was okay before having her usual mischievous smile "One more round? It'll also warm you up"

"Aren't you tired? I don't want to miss my daily training in the morning."

"You can rejuvenate, we'll be fine" she said as she run her finger up to my face while pinning me down "Besides being a bit late is fine, so we can go for a bit more than 1 if you want"

"That's not very princess-like" I countered her and wrestled her till I was the one holding her down

She just giggled and pulled me into a passionate kiss. I really think that I won't be able to make it to my daily training

Outside the palace...

"Yes, I witnessed it myself as I saw him and the princess come into the palace together last night" The palace guard said

-See, told you. I don't need to even sense his location to know- Ace said as the bonds went into the palace

"Thank you for the information" Damon thanked the guard as the bonds go to the palace waiting room

-Why don't you check on them, Dabria?- Ace asked -What if they did it?-

-Private time, flirting counts, so I can't watch, I left since she gave Perseus a kiss- Dabria answered -Besides, he's too much of a coward to do that anyway-

-Yeah, fair enough- Ace nodded

-The chances are still there- Siege pointed out -He has hormones after all-

"What are you all doing here so early in the morning?" Struan asked as he saw Perseus' bonds in the waiting room "I heard from the knight that you all will be here, don't you usually have your daily training at this time?"

"We're just waiting for Perseus, don't worry" Diana replied as she turned into her human form and sat on the couch "He's probably just sleeping in Cordelia's room"

"I got a maid to check on her earlier, but her room is locked and none of the guest room is taken...no..." Struan seemed to realized something "Maybe it's just a misunderstanding..."

-Perseus doesn't lock the doors unless he needs privacy...- Dabria then rubbed her forehead -He did it, didn't he?-

-I thought you said that he was too much of a coward- Siege replied

-Maybe he got drunk?- Ace suggested -But then again, drinking or smoking is something that Perseus avoids in both world, he drank once and then never again-

"Well it seems like we'll be waiting for a long time, so let's just practice without him" Damon suggested as he got up and they all went to the training ground for their training.

"I'm never letting you convince me to shower with you again" I grumbled as I got dressed "I should've just continue to watch you sleep rather than wake you up"

"Come on, you had fun" she laughed as she tied her hair up "Luckily you have your own shampoo and shower gel, otherwise, you would've smelled like me"

"Yep, I need to break all the clichés, so I can't have my bonds find that I smell like you, especially with your scent all over me"

"I'm going to need to apologize to your parents for borrowing you for the night, I'm very hungry though, even with all the rejuvenation, " she said as she rubbed her growling stomach "I still need for for all the energy I lost, I need more stamina if I want to keep up"

*****

We were in the palace's dining area having our brunch, joined by my bonds, the rest of the royals were busy with their work.

-We know what you 2 did, but we will not say anything about it- Dabria said -Did you use the attribute-less magic that helps prevent 'that'?-

-I thought you weren't gonna talk about it, but yes I did, I won't have a kid any time soon-

"Oh by the way, will you come with us to Loken?"

"Yeah, you can even invite Emma" Cordelia answered "If she doesn't accept it, then I can just have you all to myself"

"Yeah, we'll visit the closest nation on Loken a bit before we go visit the dragons"
