"As conpensation this time, I am gonna help you rule this world."
"Hooo~"
Asher whistled to this kind of blunt offer, while he himself actually already content with the 'raw' conpensation.
....
Asher suddenly remember how Hero helped one of his vassel.
"Any other reason as for this estemeed goddes beloved to turn into demon side?"
Lucas movement halted, seem like he is thingking of something and then he looked at the empty spece where his connection with goddes is cut one-sidded by him.
"I just feel like it would be fun."
Asher didn't believe it was the whole reason, so he probe more.
"Then can you tell a story' to this old friend, what happened after you 'Hero' after sealing the Demon Lord 'me'?"
Lucas amused about this person way of asking thing.
"Well, like a usual tale where Hero return with victory, he would recieve blessing, title and honor. When normally the ending would be happily ever after marrying the princess. But what happened, if the 'male' Hero previously life as girl with straight and pure personality?"
Lucas Asked, but not really ask
"Calling yourself pure?" how laughable!
Lucas throw the table passing behind Asher.
"Even I have time when I think like a kid! Moreover that time, I only remember one past life. Well, that time it hard for me to accept, as former girl, I yearn for hansome man but with man body and how girl would keep seduce me. Even how everyone keep pushing marriage proposal even the king, make me frustated that I decided to live seclucsion in temple. But Then I come to a realization..."
Lucas's tone become more cheerfull as he stand up like storyteller in Opera.
"The story how a Hero usually marrying a princess and become king, or how the Hero would have a Harem and glorious descentdant! Do you know why? Because everyone know that hero's blessed bloodline would pas to his descentdant! the more and the purer bloodline they have from Hero, it is how stronger they are. yeahh... good for military purpose just like your."
"Then? what happened next?
Lucas plopped down to the chair lazily.
"What more? The Hero who refuse to comply, is kidnapped in the way, drugged, imprisoned in dungeon, get his limb cut, treated as stallation..no, treated as s*xtoy and then die after being squezed dry. The only consolation is that, after the Hero die, the goddes is enraged that she pulverized half of the continent including his soon to be descentdant."
Clap! clap! clap!!
Asher clapped his hand with great fanfare, who wouldn't be happy to see someone who killed him suffer? Though it bugged him that other defeated the one who killed him. Well, they are dead anyway so whatever.
"Is that the reason you prefer man this time? I can give you that kid if you liked."
"I don't difference people based gender! Moreover once I Reincarnated, I f***up many b*tch that my resentment is gone. Also, He is already mine, but if would be bad if i suddenly kidnapped him so on this way I need to introduce myself to his family right?"
"Then as his anchestor, I am waiting for your dowry."
"Yeah, don't worry, anchestor-in-law...shit! that sound awfull! Then Old Man...sound good?"
"I don't want being called like that by you!"
Asher feel shudder and then show his despise.
"Then Demon Lord, Asher or you whatever!"
"Good, by the way, what is you current name?"
"Lucas."
"HA! Hahahaha! Lucas? Light? Look at you! Dammit! that so funny!!"
"Yea, yes I know... I also find it laughable, you can just call me whatever like Hero, Reinheart, or you, hei or anything. I am fine with it, it just a name anyway."
"Okey."
Somehow, it become silence and awkward.
Lucas 'float' around the room. The room itself is large extrafragance yet gloom. He opened each cabined in parlor. Asher as host just let him be. Until Lucas found tea set and bring them in the place where the former table is. Off course, since the table is flung by him earlier, the tea set just floating.
Lucas directing two cut near him, he took handicraft from his subspace, cleaning his hand, then throw it. The next time, he put his finger tip top of cup and from there poured some dark liquid into the cup. Once both of the cup filled, he served one of them to Asher and the other to himself.
"My blood...? energy? hmm? essence... since it contain dark power, it should benefit you."
Asher look at pitch black liquid in the cup, he drank it anyway. The taste is hard to describe... but the energy is a real deal. slowly his form returned to his peak adult state.
"More..." Asher put forward his cup, if Lucas have normal face, his brow would be twitched. He just poured one more cup.
"Hay? can I ask something?"
"Just ask."
"How it is feel to have many descentdant? even some that you don't know?"
Asher paused.
"It depend on circumtance. If they come from someone you love, you will naturally care about them for the sake of sentiment."
Asher expression softened for a second then returned to his former self.
"Still, the longer it is... the more you lose your care. Especially if there is no one remember..."
"Ohh..."
Some heavy atmosphere loomed between them.
"Why ask?"
"I just wondering, what would happened if I accidently found my descentdant."
"That would be interesting."
"Yea, I wonder if I would try to kill them if they offend me, like... how you tried to kill my lover previously."
Asher : "..."
