Chapter 190: Messed up
I had Marella stayed behind when the others left. Nova and Dabria appeared too, in order to keep her in check and stop her from looking into things that she shouldn't.
"So you are a demigod in your past life?" Marella asked "Why doesn't that surprise me?"
"I'm just as surprised as you, trust me"
"Oh Dabria, wanna play UNO? Or these other ones?" Nova invited "He got many board games"
"I thought that you are here to keep her in check?"
"Sure, anyone else?" Dabria asked and looked around the room
"I'll play it" Siege answered as they left to play at the other side if the room, leaving only me, Cordelia and Marella in the living area.
"Well just search for clues about my mother and nothing else, I don't want you to search anything beyond that"
"I can do that, but this would be my first time doing my work on a reincarnate who experience 2 life, so don't expect much" she replied as she took my hand and it started to grow "What was your name?"
"...Grace"
"Were you a girl in your past life?" She asked
"No, besides the military gave me that name, not like I had any choice, they thought that I was a wimp, so they gave me a girly name to match"
"Last name?" she asked
"Leven, short for Eleven since I was in squad 11."
"No wonder your bonds said that you have a bad naming sense, because your name is horrible" Cordelia commented "Perseus Silver sounds a bit pretentious, but it at least sounds good."
"No need to remind me"
"Ok, Grace Leven, I'll try my best" Marella said as she closed her eyes and concentrate
"I can't see anything so far, but I'll keep trying" she said

"None, you have no memories of your mother whatsoever" Marella said "I tried to maybe go to the date of your birth, but something of a higher power is blocking me from doing so and redirected me to the birth of your current life instead"
"Damn that father of mine, why do I have to relate to a Greek god?"
"It seems like you know a bit about him at least" Marella commented
"Well just a few bits and pieces since Greek mythology is really interesting, he put the king of gods, the Greek anyway, to sleep twice angering him. And had to hide behind Nyx, his mother, whom Zeus the king wouldn't dare go against."
"Does he have any children whom would be your siblings? Cordelia asked
"A few, luckily I'm not the son of Zeus, because that is the most messed up one"
"If he's the king, then he can't be that bad" Cordelia said
"He swallowed his first wife when she was pregnant!" Nova shouted from the other side of the room
"Slept with his sisters too!" Dabria added
"Sisters? Plural?" Cordelia asked
"Just the tip of the iceberg, my wonderful girlfriend. But let's avoid topics about him, just in case he's watching and blast me with a lightning bolt, I don't want to die the same way a second time"
<And having the same name as one of his children really doesn't help my case either>
"Well my bloodline is also a descendant of one of the gods, we share a lot more in common than you thing" Cordelia commented
*****
"I haven't been in Neelofar for so long, it has changed so much" Marella commented "How is Ziya doing?"
"She is currently out doing some diplomatic missions for the kingdom, she should be returning in 4 days if you want to meet her" Cordelia answered
"Ah your stepmother, the current queen?"
"And my best friend, I haven't seen her in ages" Marella said "I think I haven't seen her since I moved, the last time I talked to her was last year, she doesn't know about you 2 dating yet, right?"
"I have told her once, and she looks forward to meeting Perseus, that's why I told everyone but him to make him stay behind for a while" Cordelia answered
"So that's the surprise?"
"Oh, my friends have also forced their way to come along, so you'll be meeting with them too" Cordelia added
-Oh you're so dead- Siege remarked -Her friends, her mom and stepmom are going to be there.-
-Why does dating have to be so hard?-
-Wait till you get married and have to organize it- Dabria said
-He will need to organize 2 of them, one in the Crimson kingdom and one in Neelofar- Ace added
-Fuck!-
*****
I was at home in my bedroom and in a call with Zach.
"No tasks for me? Seriously?"
"Why do you want them? I thought that you wanted rest" Zach replied
"My girlfriend is planning on introducing me to her stepmom and friends, and I'm too lazy to meet em"
"Then there's definitely no tasks for you, talk to you later Perseus" Zach then ended the call.

"Why can't I blast that kid down to bits?!" Zeus complained "He's the son of that bastard anyway, I can't let him get away with insulting me"
"Well he is right, you womanizer" Hera argued "You are not to interfere nor blast him if I'm here"
"Just a bit? Just enough to make his body smoke"
"No means NO!" Hera then facepalmed
"His mother does look kind of...I mean nothing"
"Hephaestus! Chain him down for the next few days" Hera ordered "He's targeting someone's mother again, Ares guard him with your life"
| I know that Hera is the goddess of marriage and all, but there's got to be a limit right, I mean divorces exist now |
"Author, shut up!" Hera commanded
| I can write you out of existence Hera |
"Oh sorry then" Hera apologized
*****
"That Zeus, he really is giving us lightning gods a bad reputation" Elektra sighs
"Well he does whatever he wants and most of us are not strong enough to stop him anyway. When is Colden's group planning the attack?" Hypnos asked
"They are moving ahead of schedule, but it will still take them a while" Elektra answered "Zachary West would be the bottom of their list of priorities, they prefer your son and Albert Gold instead"
"Watch over him" Hypnos ordered "And report to me anything that you find strange, if you need to see me in person like now, contact me in your dreams like you always do"
