Chapter 60: A Second Wife.
Outside the palace, two figures were walking out holding hands, the moonlight illuminating them creating a dream scene… Too bad no one was able to witness it.
“You went to your birthday just to generate chaos?” asked the black-haired girl, Luna.
“No, I demonstrated my authority and might, two different things,” said Theos with a smile. “Besides, it was fun, too bad my next birthdays probably won’t be like that.”
Hearing his words, Luna shook her head in confusion. “Why can’t your next birthday parties be fun?” asked Luna.
“Easy, everyone will be afraid to face me, everyone will treat me not with respect or fear, but with terror. They already know that my family has someone like me as an heir, so they will not only be afraid of my family because of their history or my father but also because of me,” Theos explained with a bittersweet feeling.
Sweet because he showed his authority and sour because he couldn’t kick those nobles anymore with a justification… However, it won’t mean he wasn’t going to kick the nobles anymore.
“Oh, I see; certainly, if they’re already afraid of you before, it’ll be much worse now,” Luna stated, to which Theos replied with a smile.
*Ding*
Interrupting their conversation, Theos pulled his phone out of his pocket as he heard a notification.
Turning on his phone and seeing what the notification was about, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Why are you laughing?” Luna asked seeing him laugh so suddenly.
“Look for yourself,” Theos said, handing her his phone.
Looking at the notification, she widened her eyes in amazement. “They recorded your whole battle and now you’re viral all over the internet,” Luna commented with a smile, watching the video.
The video consisted of how Theos fought… Or rather, beat up Alan; being a noble dinner and no single commoner had seen Theos, the video was quickly viral all over the internet.
The strength, fighting style, and speed with which he defeated Alan was an important point of why it is so viral on the internet, but not the main one…
“Theos, the most handsome man and everything and every woman’s wet dream,” muttered Luna as she scrolled down, where she saw a whole community of young Theos fans, mostly girls in love with his looks.
Not only that, forums, private groups, public groups, and even religions are all about Theos and his great beauty that many consider beyond divine beauty.
“Oh Luna, you’re going to break your teeth if you keep this up,” concerned as he watched Luna grind her teeth violently, he advised.
“Hmph! Look for yourself,” she snorted, handing the phone back to Theos who reviewed what Luna had seen.
‘What the…’ Theos’ face grew paler the more he saw; at first, he thought Luna was just exaggerating, but he was watching for himself…
He felt real fear. ‘What the fuck is the group: Lovers of Theos; if we don’t have him, we better cut his head off,’ reading all the groups, one worse than the other, until he decided to turn off his phone and put it away.
“I’m not going out…ever again,” he declared, picking up the pace to get to his own Palace.
“Hey! Don’t go so fast,” she said. “Besides, I’m not done talking to you either.”
Stopping, Theos turned to Luna, frowning. “We’re never going to talk about those groups or religions about me anymore, in case you were wondering,” he warned, still feeling scared.
“Hahaha, I’m not talking about that, silly,” she laughed. “I want to talk about that guy who challenged you, that 14-year-old boy… He had your same temper, but less cold.”
Hearing Luna’s words, Theos thought for a moment before opening his mouth. “First of all, that fool was left over,” he continued. “And regarding Tristan… He almost never leaves his house, he is almost a stranger to the nobles. Still, he is very famous for his brutal talent, but it’s true what you say; I was surprised by his reaction so indifferent and simple, even if it lacks pride.”
For Theos, being indifferent, but lacking pride is like being anyone’s puppet and not rebelling, a slave with no opinions and no ambitions.
‘But in the original novel… Tristan was not like that; in fact, he shouldn’t even appear so early in the novel. I don’t know what happened for him to be here, but it’s suspicious,’ thought Theos.
He had already decided not to continue blaming the butterfly effects, which, although they are true, some things have nothing to do with the other, for example, Tristan’s appearance or the more serious illness of Luna’s parents.
‘And if that wasn’t enough, Tristan in the original novel is not like he is now; he is much more mature now; he doesn’t care about his pride to save his life, and his indifferent expression makes it clear to me that he doesn’t care about anything, but… What caused that change?’, Theos wondered, but the more he searched, the more difficult it became to find the answer.
“Oh, yes, you’re right, he lacks pride, but you can tell he’s pretty smart,” she said with a smile, hugging Theos’ arm. “Though I doubt he’s half as smart as you’ll ever be,” she declared.
“Who knows,” stroking Luna’s hair, he continued. “Possibly not even a quarter of what I’ll be.”
The two of them laughed for a while at their conversation, enjoying the walk together. They talked, discussed some things, and joked about others.
“Hey, Theos… And what is Alice to you?” suddenly asked Luna with a serious expression.
In response, Theos pinched one of her cheeks at how adorable she looked with a serious expression. “She’s my first wife why?” he replied honestly.
Luna had a complicated expression for a few moments, before relaxing, but with disappointment and sadness still on her face. “Nothing, she’s your first wife, I’m just a meddler.”
Seeing Luna’s sad and disappointed expression, Theos kissed her forehead affectionately. “You’re not a meddler. Alice let me have other wives, or so I think, so, who knows, next you may be the second.”
Hearing Theos’ such a cheeky statement, she pouted, but the small smile on her lips could not be hidden.
So, without warning, she jumped towards Theos and kissed him, a deep kiss that Theos didn’t miss to grab her waist and pull her closer to his body.
“Mmm~” The kiss was lustful, full of love and tenderness, with a blushing Luna taking the initiative and Theos not missing the opportunity to eat her lips.
*Swosh*
But from one moment to the next, Theos found himself kissing the wind… I mean, nothing.
“Mmm… Did he learn another spell? Ran for the shadows hahahahaha,” he chuckled, finding this situation truly amusing and charming.
As the seconds passed, the laughter diminished considerably, until it reached complete silence.
“Sadly, I will have few of these moments later,” he muttered to himself, gazing at the bright and beautiful midnight moon.
“Today I realized that I have neglected myself… Perhaps I am not the only transmigrated; if there could be one transmigrated, why can’t there be two, three, four, or even a thousand?” with each word he said, he became even more excited, his crimson eye shining brightly.
“Maybe I shouldn’t even go to the academy,” with this last said, Theos walked away; with every passing second, he was creating, calculating, and analyzing all possible plans in his mind.
Not realizing that thousands of eyes were following him with every step he took…
