Son of the Hero King

Chapter 314 CH 283:TAKE CARE OF HER

Anubis, his father-in-law.

To say that Sol was flustered would be the understatement of the century.

He was completely lost.

While it was sad, the fact was that until now, all his women were basically without any parents. All of them were orphans in one way or another.

The only exception was Lilin and Medea. But for one, Lilith actively encouraged his relationship; on the other, Ambrosia had a rather laid-back attitude. Furthermore, the two of them were mothers.

In conclusion, he had never meet the parents of most of his lovers, and for those who did have parents, he had had only met his mothers in law and without having to brag, Sol knew how to deal with women and he was charming enough to smoothen some edges.

This would be the first time he would face a father-in-law.

Sol wondered what he would feel if some young man appeared out of nowhere and had his way with his daughter without him knowing anything about it.

What if it was a ruffian?

What if the man was a lying scum?

What if the bastard hurt his precious daughter?

This would in no way be a pleasant feeling.

“Don’t be so tense. If people saw us they would think I am trying to bully you.”

Contrary to what he thought, Anubis was pretty chill.

"So, tell me. Was it Truck-Kun?"

....

....

....

"Pardon?"

"I am asking how you got offed. Truck-Kun? Or one of his numerous cousins?"

Sol tilted his head in confusion for a short while before his eyes opened wide in astonishment.

"You...!"

"Hello~I am your senior."

"How did you..."

Sol was about to ask how Anubis guessed but immediately stopped. Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

Anubis was one of the first mortal demigods. Meaning that he had been on the Mortal realm even before the creation of Lustburg.

If he had observed it even a little, it wouldn't be hard to guess that most, if not all the kings and queens were reincarnators.

Furthermore, from what he remembered, like Isis and Camelia, Anubis could see souls.

Camelia already once told him how his soul was different from normal people's.

Anubis, who had been observing Sol and his reactions nodded inwardly.

'At least he has good reactions.'

He liked how Sol stayed calm despite receiving such news.

Keeping a cool head was the only way to survive if you weren't one of the apex predators.

"I...I don't really remember. I...I think I was a university student. I...Was I studying history? Archeologist? Mythology? Something along those lines."

"As for how I died...I honestly do not remember."

'Hmmm....'

Anubis took a deep look at Sol before shrugging. Honestly, he didn't care in the slightest about what kind of life Sol had before coming here.

It wasn’t as if it was the first time he had met a Reincarnator in his long life. From what he understood, the goddesses always took turns bringing the soul of someone from earth into this world in order to have fun and observe the changes the Reincarnator would bring.

Out of those Reincarnators, many had partially broken souls who could not remember much from their past life or simply forgot the cause of their deaths. So it was nothing surprising.

How could Sol answer such a plea from a worried father?

Words flashed in his mind from crude to flowery.

But in the end, they could not fulfill his objectives.

"I...am still just a kid."

Sol identified himself more in this current life and despite all he went through, he was still a kid with much to learn.

"I am not perfect either."

Perfection was a goal many strived for but none could ever reach. The most they could do was come as close as possible.

"I have made many mistakes because of my inexperienced self."

Little mistakes, big mistakes. They could not be counted.

Sol was growing, learning, evolving.

His self from before his awakening and his current self was like heaven and earth and the same would happen in the future.

"But..."

Despite all this, there was one thing he was sure of.

Nay... One thing he swore to himself.

"I will always be there for her."

Be it Isis or any of his loved ones. Sol would never cast them aside. Even at the price of his life.

"How can you be so sure? What about in a thousand years? Ten thousand? Or even more?"

"I will not falter."

Sol had no doubts about this. After all, he knew that in order to bring everyone back to life, "He" did not hesitate to become the enemy of the world.

Even though it took an unknown amount of time.

Even though it was a path filled with pain, blood, and tears.

Even then..."He" never stopped walking resolutely.

Since "He" could do it. Then Sol knew that he could do the same.

After all, from a different timeline, they may be, but they were one and the same.

'How beautiful.'

Anubis gazed deeply into Sol's soul.

Few things shone more brightly than a soul filled with conviction. Be it good or evil.

This was why Anubis knew.

The boy was not lying to him.

His conviction was firm like an immovable wall.

Anubis did not need to worry.

The boy would never betray Isis.

Even if their relationship as a lover was to end one day, the one as a partner would stay.

"Then I leave my daughter to you. Take care of her."

Still, nothing was eternal in this world.

As such he would simply watch.

Would this conviction become tainted in the future?

Or would it continue to shine as brightly or even more?

"I will."

This was something only the future could tell.

(AN: Well. First discussion between Sol and Anubis. There will be more but I hope you liked it.)
