Villain: TPOD, Chapter 309
🕑 Added 2023-01-08 21:41:12 +0000 UTC"This was generous of him," Rebecca smirked as she looked at a literal pot of gold that contained some of the purest gold coins in this world.
This Pot belonged to the old Hades and had been present inside the treasury of Purgatory Island for centuries, and it was the gift of goodwill that Qin Feng had sent to him.
"Sadly, it won't save him." She lightly said as she put the gold coin she had picked up back into the pot, and then Keith stored it away in his Space Ring. "I am pretty sure that Aphrodite advised him to get on good terms with you."
"She did." He nodded to her and then smiled as his blonde wife sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"How do you think Qingyue would react when she finds out about you and mother?" She playfully asked, and Keith reached for her lips and kissed her softly.
"She will get over it just fine." He confidently said and then looked into her ocean-blue eyes. "You are worried for her." He teased.
"I am only trying to avoid any potential harm that she might cause to the family because of her naivety." She argued, and Keith believed her because he knew it was the truth. "I had a chat with Amy, and she plans on finding herself a Shadow but is in no rush"
"She will wait for us to reach the new world." He told her, and then kissed her again. "Worried that she might find herself a more capable Shadow than Marianne?"
"Do you think I would be worried about such a thing?" She smiled and then kissed him back.
"No." He broke their kiss and smiled.
"Amira and Reina are for me, right?" She asked, looking right into his eyes, curious about their Amethyst shade and the ever-changing eye patterns.
"Yes."
"They smell nice." She commented off-handedly, and Keith could only smile at her sharp observation.
"They are special." He nodded. "Twin Wood Innates."
Her eyes widened in surprise before she grinned and happily kissed him.
"I will train them!" She promised him, and then mischievously nibbled on his lips. "And I will spoil them a little too."
Keith shrugged and then stood up as they both turned to look at the clock right before it hit 3 pm.
"Also, since they are Wood Innates, you don't need to keep them waiting. It will help them a lot if they sleep with you before they start Cultivating." She reminded him and gauged his expression.
She was, of course, trying to also remind him about Marianne, whom he had not touched yet.
"Don't worry." He grabbed her hand and squeezed it, assuring her that he would do what was best for them.
The two of them arrived in the main lounge where all their Family was present.
Venessa and the ladies had arrived at the Manor too, and right now, they were busy chatting with everyone who had been waiting for them at home.
"Keith!" Celine pouted as soon as her eyes caught him. "You left without telling us!"
"You were having a lot of fun at the Theme Park." He shrugged. "Didn't want to make you rush."
"Mean!" She smiled and said before continuing to chat with his grandmother.
"Are we going to have our lunch or not?" He glanced around the room, and seeing everyone busy talking with each other, he sighed.
Minami was already on her feet as soon as his words left his mouth, ready to join him for lunch even if everyone else refused.
But no one refused, and everyone was on their feet in the next few seconds before they started walking out of the lounge and towards the dining room.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Grandpa." Kiara apologetically said when she saw that Raizer was already sitting at the table with May and Caesar.
Raizer, who was looking at some information on his tablet raised his head and gently smiled at her. "It's fine." He said and then turned to look at his Grandson, who reached the table and sat on the seat that Caesar vacated for him.
"Good afternoon." Keith smiled at him. "I heard that you have already packed your bags."
"You are going somewhere?" Kiara curiously looked at her grandparents, and Raizer waited for everyone to settle down before he acknowledged Keith's words.
"Caesar and I are leaving after the Noxville's Opening Ceremony. We are going on a world tour." He revealed.
"And you are not taking grandma with you?" Kiara pouted, and Diana giggled at her words.
"He asked, but I want to stay with you girls." She revealed and then dotingly patted her granddaughter's head.
"Okay!" The little miss of the Demiliore Family nodded her head and then stood up to help Minami and Viola set up the table.
Following her lead, Ingrid stood up as well, but the little Ingvild stayed seated as Celine engaged her in a private conversation.
"You have been working hard to make this Manor livelier again." Raizer suddenly spoke to Keith, and everyone at the table froze bedroom smiles broke onto their faces and some even blushed.
It was rare for Raizer to make a joke, and some of them were hearing his playful side for the first time.
"What can I say? They are all remarkable ladies, and I just could not resist making them a part of my life." Keith replied, making some blush more, and gave a chance to a few to throw some jibes at him.
In just a matter of a few seconds, everyone else was happily chatting and laughing with each other as they had their lunch.
Zoey, Amira, and Reina, who were the newest members of the family, felt right at home and were not even bothered when Celine curiously asked her questions as she had only met them for the first time and did not know anything about them.
"What were you doing in Iceland?" Zoey suddenly asked at the end of their meal, and Keith smiled her way.
"Sightseeing and keeping a lover company."
"There is another one?" She amazedly asked, and everyone at the table turned to look at him.
"Yeah." He nodded before resuming eating. "Her name is Fiona, and I have picked her up as one of my maids."
"So you went to Ireland for her." Rebecca smiled at him, and he sighed in his heart.
"Not really." He shook his head.
"Tell us about her." Celine mischievously insisted after she glanced at her daughter's expression, which was not too pleasant.
"She's beautiful..."
"Of course." Kiara quipped, and the girls giggled.
"Irish, with strawberry blonde hair. A very loyal and loving person, and a good mother." He informed them, and his last words caught them by surprise.
"She has a daughter?" Rebecca playfully asked, but curiously raised her brow when she saw him shake his head.
"A son." He informed them, and his blonde wife narrowed her eyes but did not ask the question that crossed her mind.
"How old is he?" Celine curiously asked.
"12."
"And she?"
"29."
It roused their curiosity even more, but Zoey seemed to have another thought in her mind.
"So you have a son now." She joked, and though some giggled, the rest only lightly smiled.
"We don't adopt males into our Family," Raizer informed her. "We don't give a boy the name Demiliore if he does not have the blood in his veins, and the girls that the name is given to are to be married within the family."
Keith smiled at his grandfather's words and nodded to Zoey.
"He's not my son." He clearly told her. "But he is my disciple."
"Oh." The little miss of Alvarez Family nodded her head.
His words had ascertained Rebecca's guess, and when their eyes met, she smiled at him.
She now knew why he went to Ireland. It was not for Fiona, but her son, and she was sure of it because she knew her husband was not a man to waste his time on someone ordinary.
"A Disciple?" Raizer raised his brow at him.
"I will help him with his Cultivation." He informed him.
"I see." The old man nodded his head and then proceeded to finish his meal.
Though he had a lot of words to advise Keith, he did not say anything. His Grandson was old enough now, and since he had handed over the helm of the Family to him, he was not going to interfere in his decisions. He never had and did not plan to do it now.
More than anything, Raizer had a lot of trust in his Grandson and was confident that he would not make the mistake of trusting someone too much just because they were his disciples.
Keith was just not the kind of man who would trust someone without any guarantees.
Raizer excused himself from the table first, and Caeser and May followed him to his study.
Keith and the ladies stayed at the table for another hour, just chatting with each other as they enjoyed their ice creams, and then he excused himself too as he walked towards the Entrance Hall of the Manor, where two young men were eagerly waiting for him.
As soon as he exited the dining room, the maid waiting outside informed him that Victor and Ryou had asked to see him, and he nodded to her before walking towards them.
"Master." Ryou went straight to his knee when he arrived, and Victor respectfully bowed to him before excitedly looking at him.
"Good afternoon." He smiled at them, but then froze when he heard a system prompt in his mind.

Raizer spent most of his life in the Military. He does not have another wife but has had a few lovers. π

Does Raizer have other wives besides Diana? I expect he should have/had as it is common for top families. Interesting though why it is not mentioned in the story.

"and then blinde wife" = "and the blonde wife" "Raizer excused himself from the take first" take = table
