Chapter 97: Asking For A Favor

Perseus POV

"Can you separate from me now? You've been really clingy, it's a bit embarrassing."

"I'm just recharging." Leilah replied "We've been too far apart."

She's been recharging for one whole day, it's kinda embarrassing since we now have Vince staying home all the time, it'll be a while till he'll be able to attend school and one of my moms is home at all time to make sure he's not lonely and accompanying him outside to interact with other children.

My parents are finally having a proper regular child raising experience and seem to enjoy it, and that Maggie, she held her wedding in secret without inviting me, just when I thought we were good acquaintances after I stopped saying the truth to her face.

"Well Lilith, why don't you go to your home early or something?"

"You really want me to leave? I thought we struck up something special." she grumbled

"Well, you got what you can out of me right? I raised a flag with you and raise my affection level at a good foundation, win-win, and it might be while till we meet anymore even that can get us to know each other more."

"I have no idea about half the things you said, but I'm here simply because I'm bored, I'm free at home, so messing around here is a bit fun for now." she shrugged and then turned to Vince "Do you not hate me or your brother for interacting with me?"

"Because you're a demon? The cause of the passing of my family?" Vince responded "...I just am not strong enough to have the hate. And...there's a chance that you can be my future sister in law, I have to learn that not all demons are the same, after all, you said another demon arranged the attack."

"Say, if I go for your mother and I have a chi-"

"Please do not make me think of it." she now turned to me "If I meet them again, I'll be sure to get them sign a marriage certificate."

"Don't be scared, your mother should love your father enough to not accept my advances."

Well I confirmed that my powers work well on a goddess, albeit a lot of time for it to work, I guess she's scared that it might be work on her mother.

When I got here a couple days ago, I received a call from Zach about the info on the yellow rose and he tipped me off that an anonymous source convinced the authorities to put me on the suspect list for the assassination carried out a couple days ago.

I knew that the cardinal would make a move like that, but what I didn't expect was that the authorities have contacted the heroes and they're on their way here. The forensics team found nothing that can be connected to me, but it seems like I will have to face the heroes again.

It's strange since they have no authority here, the heroes are respected, sure, but...this is not their territory, they can't just arrest me based on some suspicious anonymous tip, and yet they agree to try and subdue me if necessary, that's funny, they barely arrived and yet they fucking think they can beat me.

Grandpa Laker then called me afterwards.

'Look, I tried stopping them, but it seems you were right about arrogance, they just got here and after every compliments, they are now a bit full of themselves, just cooperate and you'll get out after a week at best.'

No, I won't, if they plan on overstepping their jurisdiction, I'm not letting chief Aminu step in, I plan to stand my ground. But the heroes will not like me interacting with a demon, luckily they encountered a problem on their way here and Lilith will leave before then.

I think several anonymous tip more were provided, and it seems that the eastern church is somehow offended at the message I left, the painting of the yellow flower, I made it ambiguous enough for it to symbolize either a yellow rose or the symbol of the eastern church.

I can't draw good, but it was enough.

The church was offended at the fact that some people pointed out that they're the culprit since the message may have been from them, so with such a large power backing this investigation, no name have the power to escape interrogation if you're on their culprit list and the first one is me.

Now, I need Maple's help in proving my innocence, the western church can come into my defense and if their next saint and the current pope receive a message from their goddess about the culprit of the enraged kraken, I will be safe.

Even the eastern church can't say anything once they find out the current 2 most influential people behind this faction backed me up, not unless the cardinal himself step up, but the cardinal is not risking me being able to pinpoint him as one of the culprits, so he will hide until some bandwagon comes by that he can hop in.

I can't name the cardinal and the yellow rose for now, it's annoying, I'm making a lot more enemies tan I want here just by trying to go to the desert in the southern continent, and it won't be long till I need to walk into their territory and travel to the eastern continent.

But before then, I'm definitely going to be a villain in everyone's eyes after humiliating the heroes, only the teacher can fight on a high level for now, I need to plan things out on how to counter them, when grandpa Laker said that they're on their way to subdue me, they mean it.

So like those at the play, I will humiliate them too, I will make sure that the heroes remember not to mess with me. I mean, it's not like I'm planning to hide the fact that I truly was the one responsible.

I then left the house and go to pray a bit, to a certain goddess.

"Well Maple, I need a favor."
