Chapter 216: How did I managed to raise them?
3rd person view
"Well we found out how to send them back now, but it will definitely take a while" Ace informed Zach privately "One of Perseus dead siblings from his previous world is supposedly alive, as long as he knows who that one is, a certain unknown god will send them back"
"I-I see" Zach responded
"You're nervous judging from your heartbeat, why?"
< Now that's a bit hard, he saw me died. And now I have to tell him who I am? I'll try to find an alternative way for now before resorting to that> Zach thought
"No, I was just thinking about my previous world's siblings, it's been so long after all, so they all probably died by now" Zach laughed nervously
"Make sense" Ace nodded

"Why are you in my room in the middle of the night?" Lia asked as she opened her room's door. "You want to do it now? You need rest"
I cant's warp to her room due to the spatial disruption tools installed into the castle walls, so I had to go to her room, the old fashion way. I just get in and locked the doors behind me before using 'hush'.
"Eliza kissed me"
"She what?!" Lia exclaimed
"I don't know, I was comforting her over her grief and all of a sudden, she tried to kiss me. I, of course, stopped her and warn her about regretting it. I thought that she'll listen to me and just forget about it, but she then proceeded to kiss me anyway! Against my genuine warning!"
"On the lips?"
"If it's on my cheek, then I won't be panicking right now."
"Ok, let's just calm down" Lia said "She was just grieving"
"Calm down? Your boyfriend just got kissed by another woman!"
"You know, I'm quite impressed by your ability to attract older women, even Eleanor is older than you, imagine if you use charm...I'll confront her later, you need some sleep if you're hanging out with Paris and Jaxon in the morning"
I then took several deep breaths and try to calm down.
"Ok it was just a one time thing...man her lips were soft. Damn it, what am I thinking?!"
"You really are bad at this, come on, you need sleep" she snickered
"She even said that I am her type! What should I do?!"

"Thanks for letting us use your kitchen and cook you breakfast" Jaxon said
-I'll be gone for today too- Dabria said -Explain it all to me later-
-What happened?- Ace asked
-Trust me, we'll have him explain it to us later- Dabria replied
"Sorry for intruding today, you can take over my day tomorrow if you want" Lia apologized "He's a bit unstable after what happened last night"
"Please mom, I don't want to hear what you 2 do at night" Paris requested as she closed her ears
"Oh no, it's not that. Eliza kissed him" Lia explained
Jaxon and Paris then choked on their food.
"Wait she-him, she did what now?!" Jaxon exclaimed
"I was just trying to comfort her, you know. Like what a good person do, but she kissed me, and I feel really bad. I should've done more to stop her, how am I supposed to show my face in front of her now?!"
"You'll eventually be able to act normal again" Lia laughed as she patted me on the back "Though it did surprise me a little, I always thought that Emma would be the one to do that instead"
"You have weird expectations"
"Well you're not any weirder for dating me"
"Mom, dad. We're here too" Jaxon coughed
"Sorry, he was a bit cute" Lia apologized
"This is why I never brought you 2 together for the parents-teachers meetings" Paris grumbled
"That kinda hurts" Lia responded
"Yeah we have self control too, after all we're your parents. Just out of curiosity, are you guys seeing anyone?"
Paris just shook her head.
"Not really, I never had interest in finding one." Jaxon answered "I'm still too young"
"You're currently older than me though"
"You're different than we are" Jaxon replied "Besides, I can already imagine Ace and Siege scaring someone away if we bring them to the house"
"That does sound like them"
"None of you are troublemakers, right?" Lia asked
"No, we behave at the academy. But that's a different matter when we're at home" Paris answered "Mama Dabria usually handle the discipline, but we would listen to dad more than her."
"Yeah, dad rarely gets angry, but if he does, we know to listen" Jaxon added
"I'm surprised that we managed to raise you guys into what you guys are now, my future self really is much better than who I am now"
"Yeah, mom would teach us basic magic and mama Delia would teach us basic swordsmanship while you take care of the advanced course" Jaxon said "Despite going to different prestigious academies, we all learned a lot more from you"
"The more you guys talk, the more that I'm slightly convinced that you're not my children"
"We are definitely your children, because you also say that in the future" Paris chuckled
"Yeah, mom says it too" Jaxon added
"I still can't believe that you are a child between me and Dabria, this is mind-blowing"
"Shouldn't you be more surprised that mom is a literal goddess?" Jaxon asked
"I've known her longer than Ace, my first bond, so of course I wouldn't be surprised"
"So you're a saint from birth?"
"Nah, Beatrice is, I'm more of her, I don't know, significant annoyance rather than a significant other"
-You got that right- Dabria said
-Why can't you just be nicer to me for once, and I thought that you wouldn't be listening in-
-I have curiosity too, Jaxon is also my child despite having him with...you-
-What the hell is with the hesitation?-
"That's actually what mom calls you, it seems like some things never change" Jaxon said
-Then I might just have him because of a drunken mistake...it makes so much sense now- Dabria concluded
-As if I would assault a drunk woman, my standards aren't that low-
-Then maybe, it's because we both got drunk, that's the only logical explanation-
-Then explain why he's the eldest, we can't possibly make so many drunken mistake, besides I don't drink-
-Please do not call my child a mistake-
-You insinuated it first!-
"Are you arguing with Dabria again?" Lia asked
"Yep, it's almost a daily occurrence"
-Well since I'm already here, I'll tell you, I do not see any of your siblings back there. And the world change a bit, but I will not spoil you since you want to see it for yourself- Dabria informed
-Then what? Did one of them reincarnate or something?-
-Hah, what? You think that you're going to meet them in this world again? Fat chance-
