Chapter 125: Know a way you can help

Perseus POV

I'm too lazy to alert anyone at the castle of my presence so I use magic to turn myself invisible and got in through a balcony and walked towards towards Valentina's office room.

The castle have now fortified their security a bit, i now can no longer sense presence of life of people through walls, they made it so to prevent people from knowing the location of particular individuals.

The door was open, I push it a bit to see her not inside, so I then head to the throne room to see her sitting on the throne being consulted by her over national matters, so I head there unseen and leaned against the throne and read her documents, some of which are natural secrets, this must be how Alice feel all the time, except she doesn't feel any guilt.

Just for fun, I use my pointer finger and poked her waist.

"For this issue, we should- ahhh!" she yelped which I had to hold my laugh.

"Are you alright, your majesty?" one of her aides asked

"Sorry, must have been a mosquito or some bug or something." she apologized which puzzled the others when they saw her rub her waist.

No bugs and any insect should be able to come into the throne room incase of people using assassination methods so they put good quality repellents and everything, so it's good that they're puzzled.

"Phoo." I blew the air into her ear.

This time, she luckily steadied herself, but I can still see goosebumps on her skin. Her face is red now.

"Perseus, I'll kill you." she whispered under her breath.

Quicker than I thought. So as she went on discussing issues with her aides, I stayed there and every time she let down her guard, I would do something to make her look silly.

*****

"Almost got caught there, but you sure did look silly." I laughed after we got back to her office.

I sat myself on the sofa and helped myself to her snacks that was laid there.

"Why are you here?" she asked

"To make you look like an idiot?"

"I hate you." she grumbled as after a moment she sat at the opposite sofa instead of next to me "Are you here to finally berate me for tricking you?"

"No, I decided not to, I think it was also kind of presumptuous to mark you while not having any romantic relations with you, so let's just think we're almost even, you're still pregnant, did they say when you'll experience the symptoms?"

"When the baby start developing," she answered "So in a few years, so I can even take the egg out for safety if I want to, but if I do, the chances of people finding out that a child of ours exist is high, and I do not want to endanger them."

"Well it's going to be a she, I got that info from a trusted seer."

I seriously can't believe that I'm seriously discussing this topic at the age of 18, like seriously, what have I done in my life that led me to this?!

|Sex|

I mean, yes, but that's not what I meant! That's just how babies are made, okay! I want something justify my life for a moment, alright. Abandoned as a kid, eat monster corpses to survive, lived on the streets for a while, and my big break was climbing the tower by putting my life on the line every time I fight.

C'mon author, I'm supposed to be the protagonist here, give me some good luck, make me win the lottery or something, make me a billionaire, I'm only a multimillionaire, give me more!

Hell let truck-kun hit me and let me go into an isekai world, give me an easy life, and hell take away my pride and goal to climb the tower, I want to retire, but I can't retire without knowing what's on top!

|A truck can't kill you, though.|

"You know a seer?" she asked

"Didn't I tell you most of my secrets?"

"Well not that you know a seer, so we're going to have a girl?"

"Most possibly, she sees possibilities, not definite futures, though she narrowed down till she's sure, otherwise, she'll keep it to herself. Well Eleanor is going to have a little sister and we're going to have a cute daughter."

"I kind of want a son, I already have one daughter." she pouted

"You say that as if I'm going to help you get another one, find someone to help you with that, sperm donation is a thing now." I suggested

"As if I would just get impregnated by random men." she frowned

"Well if you're lonely, you can date my sister if you want. She's single and I think you'll be a good person, probably would make her less mean towards me."

"Seriously, why are you here? Shouldn't you help your classmates prepare for the upcoming tournament? Every world leader is coming to spectate it, you know, it's one of the times where the 13 gods allow even non raiders to join in, it's a good time for everyone to gather."

"That's exactly why I'm here, there's a chance an attack can be carried out again, send a doppelganger in your stead, I can't protect everyone. I'm also to check up on you, like is carrying the child okay? Are you feeling burdened?"

"I quite like it actually, I love children." she smiled "And to think I would have one again is very...I can't quite describe it but it makes me happy."

Why does she have to be beautiful? That smile...that damn smile.

And why do I have to be a guy who doesn't want a harem? Author, is it too late to make me a harem protagonist?

|Yes, more than 100 chapters late, now deal with it, I've already given you unrealistic accomplishments and benefits, deal with what ya got.|

"Oh yeah, I also got a favor to ask of you since I'm here, it's related to the jade fragment and I know a way you can help."
