Chapter 419: Trial...again...(2)

"I would love to help you 3, but I'm given a way out so I'm not going to waste it." Eliza said

"Perseus, even if we gave you our blessing, shouldn't you at least informed us of your intention of marriage?" Ziya said "You're lucky that I'm not queen anymore since I'm retired."

"You look very youthful for a retiree."

"Thank you."

"Don't flirt with my mother, she may be technically my stepmother, it's still weird." Lia elbowed me

"But that was just a compliment."

-She does look great for her age.- Damon agreed

"We just wanted it to be private." Lia said "What's wrong with that, I love him and he loves me, and we're happy."

"Yes, we understand, but you still should've told us." Struan replied "So I'm to just acknowledge Perseus that he's my brother in law now? Just like that?"

"Uh yeah?" I replied "I mean, isn't that how it's supposed to work?"

"So let's say your daughter, Amora, over there married someone without telling you, would you call the person your son or daughter in law?" Brooke, the former king, asked

"I mean, yeah? It's her life and her choices to choose who she wants to marry, she's an adult already, I'm not going to control her life. Let's say that life is a long road, and the child throughout their walk has encountered a crossroad, a parent's job is only to advise and point to their preferred path, but it's still the child who will walk that path."

-You practiced it, didn't you?- Siege asked

-I mean duh, I have to keep my honor as the protagonist.-

"That's pretty decent, you've been learning your stuff." Nova complimented me and gave me a high five, which we're able to do since we're not chained.

They gave that up since I would escape out of all of them.

"See, you think you're going to be a better husband than that?" Lia giggled and gave me a kiss on he cheek

"Oh by the way, congratulations on your recent engagement."

"Mother, what do I do? He's too smart." Struan asked "I can't challenge him into a duel either, I'll die."

"My son is very skilled in restraint, don't worry." Dad chimed in

"Then how am I pregnant?" Eliza mumbled silently which I heard with my enhanced hearing.

"Are we done with the trial? I'm sort of late to my appointment of time travelling."

"What is it with you and work?" Marella asked "Rest for once, we all know your role. I hear horrible things from Eleanor, you know."

"And what is it with you and alcohol? Can't you spend a day without it?"

"That's...different."

"Oh really? My job is to save lives, what does wine do?"

"Yeah, you wanted this trial." Marella told Struan "I'm out, outsmarting him is like trying to outsmart a scholar, the guy has studied too many books."

"Knowledge is a very dangerous weapon. It's like dad hiding alcohol under a secret compartment under the bed, the fact that uncle John enjoys to secretly bring Oliver and Emily to watch dragons fighting at Damon's hometown, Olivia sneaking at around 1 am in the morning to eat ice cream. Ziya sneaking into Artia every weekend to gamble, Brooke-"

"Ok, stop." Struan ordered "I'm seriously questioning your creepy ability right now."

"I have dream magic, and I can also project myself into this astral plane where I basically separate my soul from my body as I sleep. I was just exploring around the continents and come across you guys by mere coincidences."

"Well Perseus, I learned a few things from you, it's to always have back up plans. In case of our lost, I would have to bring up our last resort to make sure you understand how severe your punishment is." Struan said in a serious tone "Once you deal with this Chaos and Baeli person, WE will hold a marriage ceremony that will be PUBLIC!"

"You...you...you wouldn't dare."

"When you deal with all your work, you shall marry Cordelia and Elizabeth in that ceremony where everyone in the kingdom shall see."

"Do I get to officiate the wedding?" Nova asked

"Yes, sure." Struan nodded

"You are the devil. And I've actually met all them lot. This is like-"

"It's not so bad." Lia shrugged "I mean, I'll be then known Cordelia Silver."

"But I hate making things public."

"Well we have to compromise, I would love to keep it private, but it seems like we have no choice."

"I can stop time and get us 3 out of here."

"Is your solution to every problem, magic?" Nova asked "I know that it's very possible, but is it?"

"I can gaslight everyone in this room about their insecurities. I think it won't be long till I make them all break down in tears."

"That's funny."

"I knew you were the type to marry someone is secret." Luke commented "Are you sure he hasn't legally married my daughter in secret?"

"Yes, I've had many officials to look into it." Brooke replied "Should we lock Cordelia away in a room and not let Perseus see her for a week?"

"What's stopping me from breaking her out of the room?"

"For morality and discipline, you will have to follow it for your own conscience. You will understand when you have a daughter."

"How will I have a daughter if you don't let me in the room?"

-Smooth.- Ace laughed

*****

-Well Adam, get me to a good timeline.-

-Yep, you got all your equipments ready? You're making a lone trip, you know.- Adam replied

-Yeah, Dabria goes to one and I go to the the other. Let's go, I need to learn time traveling powers in case anything happens.-

-So I'm going to throw you into a timeline of your old world that was a infested by gorgers, is that fine with you?-

-Yeah, sure. Just send me to one where I can mess with it.-

-Not too much, the multiverse is a very complicated thing, and I'm definitely not as good as future you at it.-

My body glowed and turned into glowing particles as if I just got snapped out of existence. I had my body reformed later in this desert near this road where a lot of people gathered, some of them wore a familiar cosplay. Orange jacket, blond spiky hair...I think you know where this is heading.

"The storming of Area 51? Nice choice!"
