Chapter 9: I'm Joking (2)

Perseus POV

"Ok, give me a serious answer then," she breathe a sigh of relief and sat down.

"I'm the sole surviving raider in the future who completed the tower and regressed back, so with my knowledge of the future, I use them to further strengthen myself to prevent that dark future from happening again."

Her eyes then gotten wide in both shock in amazement. I really couldn't hold it in as I burst out laughing. Oh man, that's funny. I'm cliché, but not that cliché, if I was, my hair would be a tad bit shorter, I would wield 2 daggers and have the power to summon the undead.

Now guess who I'm talking about? Yeah, you guys wouldn't know cuz I can list several protagonist with that description. And if the authors of those novel read this, please don't sue me, for legal reasons, that was mostly a joke that has some facts mixed in it.

"If you tell me the truth right now, I'll give you my first kiss." she said as I then quickly straighten up and calmed myself down.

"You DO have ulterior motives!" she exclaimed

"Who wouldn't accept a kiss for a beautiful woman? Ask the maidenless readers who are reading this, they would easily give away many secrets to get someone to fill their lonely void of their loveless life."

|Alright, stop grilling them.|

Alright, you sorry excuse for an author.

"Was that offer a joke?"

"I meant what I said." she replied firmly

"Well I don't know what to tell you, I'm a dhampir, I have all their strengths and none of their weaknesses plus the stubbornness and hard working nature of a human. I'm already technically a genius, but if you mix in my bloodline advantages, it will boost my standings a bit further."

"Since when did you got accepted into the tower?" she asked curiously.

"14, also youngest in history after the academy was established."

"Can you cook?"

"I don't see the relevance after I thought after your past few last questions, but yes."

She then have a small smirk on her face and she leaned in. But right as I was about to kiss her, the phone in my pocket rang.

"Are you going to pick that up?" she asked

"I was really planning on ignoring it. Many protagonists got stopped in the middle of a good moment."

She just giggled and give me a quick peck on the lips.

"There, my first kiss, pick it up." she giggled.

This woman...I swear. I think I know why her dad kept her away from me now, if I known her a bit earlier, I definitely would've asked her out. There must a stupid dumb smile on my face right now.

I took my phone out and saw 'Diana', my sister, almost got stopped by my sister. I then picked up the call.

"I'm outside your room, open the door." she said as the color of my face drained immediately.

"What happened?" Lia asked

"My sister, she's outside the door right now."

"So?"

"She can't see you in my room, and you hiding will not help either, she will find you and it'll make me look more guilty."

"Oh, so she's more similar to my father than I thought."

"I'll be dead the moment I open that door."

"Well it's not like we're dating, what's to be scared of?" she asked

"The simple answer is that she can't see you in this room alone with me."

"What's the worse she can do, burn you alive?"

"Been there, done that. might as well try to be casual about it, and please do not say anything that will make her kill me."

*****

After a few deep breaths, I opened the door and there she was, my sister. Diana Silver, 173 cm tall, has black hair and violet eyes. She is also wearing a simple black dress.

Despite being related by blood, we look nothing alike. I have light brown skin, and she has smooth white one, violet eyes and I have brown eyes, she has black hair and I have a silver one. And yes, we have a blood test to prove it.

"Well I feel very nostalgic at this place." she said as she head in without even asking "The bed should be even big enough for us...to sleep together...Perseus...who is she?"

Lia just wiggled her finger and said hi.

"Oh her, she's the one Brooke requested for me to look over, her name is Cordelia Laguna, but I call her Lia."

"And why is she in your room with you, alone?" she sure emphasized that last word "You should have only met earlier this morning."

"We were just talking about what happened earlier, and she was a bit shocked to see my rank, that's all."

"Well I did just gave him my first kiss." Lia chimed in.

You...bitch! You're going to get me killed, I just warned you to not say something stupid in front of my overprotective sister?! Gotta keep casual and nonchalant.

"How was it your first? You're 18."

"Be grateful." she replied 'Besides, you know my family, a bit reserved to ourselves."

Normal heartbeat, she ain't lying...

"Perseus, you get out of the room." my sister warned as her hand burst with black flames "And you, explain."

"Good luck, Lia, lovely meeting you." I then made a swift getaway.

Privacy or not, my sister is the most scariest being in this universe. I rather get swarmed by random people than face my sister's wrath, I would stay back and help, and maybe make a small resistance, but she had that face on.

Cordelia POV

Right, if I want to make moves on that guy, I better have his sister's permission, his parents died when he was younger, so his sister was his only guardian, that would mean she would be very overprotective of him.

"Alright, don't worry, we can talk properly now that he's gone." Diana breathe a sigh of relief "i just don't want him to listen in to some girl talk."
