145 Chapter 145: They are quite alike (2)
Perseus POV
I'm not gonna lie with you, this dinner is so boring, I'm having a hard time getting myself to stay awake, Valentina easily noticed this and pinched my legs whenever she noticed. Luckily the king and prince of the faeries share a similar habit of closing their eyes when they laugh, so Valentina would make this sophisticated joke that I wouldn't understand, the 2 would laugh and she would used that opportunity to pinch me.
It doesn't really hurt, but it sure did annoy me while she seems to have awaken this slight sadistic side. It scares me a bit that I'm now on the other side of things and I'm not the type who enjoys being on the other side.
"Perseus, young prince, why so quiet?! Tell me something!" Sebastian roped me in "How'd you get so strong?"
"Am I excused if I were to speak in a more casual tone, your majesty?"
"Sure, why not?!" he chuckled "Don't worry, my guards can't hurt you even if they. Hell, I swear in my free time."
"Well there's really one answer to that question, it's because I trained under the very best, I'm sure many news source already say who that is."
"The 'Weaver of Calamity'?"
"That's him."
"Him?" Farian questioned "Is the gender of the best raider a male? Can I really confirm that?"
"Yeah, handsome guy, a bit of a playboy, he also prefers older women."
"Doesn't that sound just like you?" Valentina asked "Did his preference influence you too?"
"A lot, yes. But he's much stronger than I am, and as a person who has fought both, he's several times stronger than Elliot, you can spread this much outside, I don't care."
"When do you think he will reveal himself to the public?" the king asked curiously "Do you think you can at least get my son here to learn under him for a bit? At least meet him somewhere in secret?"
"You want me to set him up for a meeting with the 'Weaver of Calamity', a person who can, excuse my language, kill your son at anytime with a flick of his finger?"
"You seem to be not talking your all." Sebastian commented "Go all out and say it, you have our permission."
"If your son piss him off, he will die, and you'll never find out what really happened, do you think you can handle the consequences?"
"Well do you think you can set up a meeting?" the king clarified
The tension is noticeable, but it was mostly only amongst the guard who had their expression hardened, the king and prince didn't seem to mind at all, at this rate, I may be able to work my work to cuss out in front of every leader amongst the races.
"I can actually."
If my sister hears this, she will definitely strangle me, she done it a couple times before and making decisions like this would definitely piss her off, even tough the man in question is me, she will find a way to still justify her attempt at strangling me.
But now, even Valentina is interested, I told her the secrets behind my powers being the fact that I'm actually a child of a true god, but she doesn't know that I am my own teacher.
"Well it seems all 3 of you are interested, but I cannot arrange a setting where all 3 of you can meet him."
"Why not?" Farian asked "If it's me, what does my father make it any different? He can even make connections with us with nothing to lose."
"Well you all can meet him, but only one will be making a return."
"Oh, I see, but it's clear you have a favoritism to her majesty over there, she made you a duke, and based on how close you are, the recent scandal of you 2 being lovers may be true, though I apologize if it is false."
"Fair, I do have a slight bias, but because of that, she would have a lot more of requirements to qualify, I'm a bit more sadistic towards my friends."
"Oh." he gasped
"I mean, do you not hear the rumors?"
"The ones where you abuse your authority to have a secret harem in the red light district? Or the ones that you're impotent?" The king asked seriously
Seriously, him too?
"No, you know, before my identity was revealed as the 'Silver Prince', there were rumors about me, weren't there?!"
"There was, I believed it was said that you were the most dangerous ranker to anger, a sadistic assassin with Silver hair who would drink the blood of his enemies whenever you fight." Sebastian answered as he scratched his chin.
Well I do drink the blood of my enemies, I was doing it on purpose to scare this reporter who was tracking down the legend of the silver haired assassin who was believed to be the 'Silver Prince'. I hid in the dark and emptied this vial of blood just to scare them.
"You allegedly laughed when your enemy was begging for their life until the bled to death where you then kicked their corpse." Sebastian added
"That's exaggerated, but the more friendly I am with them, the more I'm likely to annoy them, for example, my sister, i call her a witch, a bitch and many other names, but we're still very close, but if any of you say it, regardless of status, I will fight you."
"Name the price." Valentina said "I'm sure you need your cut also since your teacher seems to be hard to talk to."
"Well, easy, I did talk with him before and he needs similar things that I do, and if you can do it, I'll follow along and make sure 2 of the 3 of you can meet him, and then can get you both a 1 on 1 session with him."
"Well it would be better if both our kingdoms benefit from this, father, why don't you cooperate with her majesty for this requirement, then both our races can possibly ally with the strongest raider." Farian suggested
"No, you do this, you're the next king, you need something to prove yourself before you get the throne and this is a good opportunity.
They then openly argue about it till Sebastian use his higher status to force his son into it, the 2 are really alike and selfless, they seem to be good people to talk with, but Sebastian may belong to the enemy side, so I will have to be cautious, he has the fragment of the key I want.
"2 SSS rank sword, specifically a Chokuto, one for my teacher and for my self, we both love a simplistic sleek design, since its from both of you, so...1 from each and I can set you up a meeting."
