Chapter 36: Love Talk?
Perseus POV
As I got to our new house, which is a 2 floored 4 bedroom house, I received an invitation letter from the Zoris kingdom to go into their palace or whatever to witness the heroes summoning in person.
I can't really go, they will recognize my face, my face definitely is starting to developed like that of my previous life, I might be younger than they remember, but they'll definitely recognize who I am.
I can't really just kill all the heroes since they're going to kill the demon lord for me or at least help me in doing so, I can kill them afterwards, but until then, I'll try to avoid them as much as I can.
If demons are really going to attack, I might just use the chaos to my advantage and kill the main 3, they have fighting experienced and are going to be the strongest heroes for sure. I'm gonna disguise myself and go in with Ruka, they won't be able to tell since it's not magic, no one will be able to tell apart from me.
And I can disguise my voice as well, I can even sound like a girl if I need to...do not ask for a trap image, the author has one, but he will not post it.
|Not for this chapter at least.|
But even after my physical strength and my ability improved tremendously, but I'm still only a 3 star mage. Most people would assure me that I'll do fine since the power of the roses can make up for it, but as of now, I am the weak rose lord. Words fly fast and it seems that people really like to spread the fact that I am not talented in magic even though I am superior to other 3 star or even 4 star mage, even if I only fight using magic.

3rd Person POV
Leilah is sitting on atop the stairs of the dungeon she's located at, she's sitting in front of her rose and have a small smile on her face and swinging her legs in the air.
"It's almost time to meet him..." she then let out breath of relief "And it's already time of the summoning...I need to confirm if they're on the other side, I know they are still alive, but disappearing without telling any of us...something must have happened."

On the demon continent, specifically in the demon lord's castle, it seems that every demon is wearing ceremonial clothing, it is the ceremony every demon lord has to go through, the passing of their powers to their successors.
The ceremony was already finished, a new demon lord is crowned, but for now, on the throne, the predecessor is the one who is sitting on it and is giving his last speech before every power is given to the successor.
"As you all know, I plan on a suicidal attack along with 20 brave demons." the now previous demon lord announced "I plan to use the last remaining powers of a demon lord to its best instead of wasting it, I will die, but use my death to boost our morale, let it be known that their lord fight even when he's weak.
"My successor..." he looked down to his cry people and most importantly his successor "You will need at least 3 years to get used to your power, I will be sure to give you even more time...and when you are ready, we will end this centuries war. I will relieve you of some burden by killing a few heroes, do not fail our ancestors, we shall rule as the superior race once again."

Perseus POV
"There, that's about half a year worth of blue rose particles to use for the cream."
Currently I'm just finishing up on restocking ingredients for the making of our anti aging cream that really took off, heck, I made so much money that I gave them out to every villager and the people of the Paradis tree is now known as the most beautiful people amongst every nations.
I plan to travel and return once in a while, the business needs to keep running so stocking up is good.
I sort of don't really use it though, my parents are the same since anyone that is just somewhat related to the main cast are already good looking, hey, readers, want some?
It help with wrinkles and definitely will make you change your look from ugly to barely bearable. I know, it has limits, everything does. but hey, if you're lucky, it might change to somewhat bearable.
I really need to learn to compliment people sometimes.
I got home in order to check on all my plans that I've written and recheck my contingency plans.
"By the way," Mom Rylee popped into the living room and caused me to close my book since she doesn't need to know what I really plan to do.
"What's up?"
"Your mother just received a letter, a princess of the Zoris kingdom about 4 years older than you want to meet you to see if they can get an arranged marriage." she said
"Eww no, reject it please."
"Nyra already did." she replied "Also added a long 3 page letter of complaint since you're underaged."
"Thank you, you 2 are the best."
"By the way, we are planning on giving you a love talk...are you comfortable about it?"
"What? Why?"
"Yes or no, son." she replied

So both of my parents sat me down for their so called love talk, apparently they want to teach me on how to treat my partner in the future and not make them cry with words, if I can make Ruka and the former adventurer guild leader cry with words, they have no doubt I can do it to anyone else.
"Look, Perseus." Mom Nyra spoke up first "As long as they're a decent person, we will support whoever you decide to court."
"What if they're a girl who have a hidden jealous side?"
"A little clingy is fine, it's a cute perk I adore about your mother." Mom Rylee replied
"No, I mean like threatening other girls with a knife jealous, not the regular kind."
"Oh, we're breaking you up."
"That's quick."
