After a nice lunch with my family I just wandered around
I had nothing to do now and I didn't want to go out into the city either, I had more things to think about at that moment.
One of those things is that my wife allowed me to sleep with her grandmother and is waiting for my answer....How do I know? Well, maybe because since we got home and we were free, Sylphie looks at me expectantly as if she wanted me to talk about the subject.
I have never felt so uncomfortable
Luckily Lucy took her somewhere else to talk to her and I decided to go out into the garden to clear my mind.
-What are you thinking about Rudy? - Nanahoshi said as she approached me
-Ah Nana...it's complicated...- I said avoiding her gaze
(sigh) -It's because of Miss Elinalise, right?- Nanahoshi said looking me in the eyes
-Yes, Sylphie has been pestering me to accept the idea, according to her it won't hurt if it's only once a month- I said in a murmur
Nananoshi put on a thoughtful expression as he looked at me.
-I don't blame you if you don't agree with this, I know you could have accepted it in the heat of the moment- I added
-hmmm, yes, the truth is that I find it a very uncomfortable idea...but Sylphie is the one who decides and if she agrees....- murmured Nanahoshi
-Of course I wouldn't do it if it hurts you Nana!- I said in panic
-Ah! I don't mean it that way, you're misunderstanding me... I mean it's a bit uncomfortable but... it doesn't bother me as much as you think- Nananoshi said with a small smile
-Besides, like Sylphie said, it will only be once a month, it's not like Elinalise is going to take you away from us, right?- Nanahoshi asked, looking me in the eyes.
-Of course I would never let that happen- I said seriously
-Hehe, I know, that's why I love you... you know I heard that you want to talk to Clifth about that first, right? - Nananoshi said with a smile
-Of course, I can't do anything without even asking your opinion on all this - I explained.
-And when you do it, what will you do depending on the situation?- Nananoshi asked seriously looking me in the eyes
-If he accepts it somehow...I suppose I will, right? But if not...I will accept it cordially- I said with with a fake smile
-hmm, that sounds perfect to me Rudy, sorry for overwhelming you with this Rudy, I know it must be difficult- Nanahoshi said with an apologetic smile
-It's not necessary, I completely understand- I said stroking her hair with a smile
She blushed at this and snuggled up to me enjoying the feeling.
Shortly after we sat on a nearby bench while looking at the landscape in an intimate moment, about half an hour later we decided to return inside the house
..
When night fell, Almanfi appeared inside the house to report that the Chaos Breaker was nearby.
As we had already planned, we would wait until tomorrow to enter the city directly with the Chaos Breaker.
If you're wondering if people would discover Chaos Breaker floating in the air, the answer is simple.
It just rose high enough in the air 🤓☝️
But joking aside, it helped that it was at night and hidden among mountains.
So with this decided we decided to sleep at Lucy's house.
All unlike Alek and Orsted who decided to rest in the Chaos Breaker
Lucy prepared a fairly large room for us with two beds, the room is usually empty, but Lucy had it cleaned for the occasion.
After dinner and a shower we headed to the room.
Lara for obvious reasons will sleep in a separate room next to Leo so my girls and I had a whole room to sleep in
-haaaa....how comfortable it is- Nanahoshi murmured, writhing in bed
It seemed like she will sleep in the spare bed while Roxy and Sylphie sleep cuddling up to me.
If you are wondering the beds are attached so there won't be a big distance and it seems that Nana will sleep hugging Roxy haha
-Rudy.....have you thought about my grandmother yet?- Sylphie murmured
I held back a sigh with all my might and simply stroked his head.
-Yes, I already thought about it, I have already made a decision, I will talk to Clifth about this, if he accepts then I accept and if not, we will not talk about it anymore okay? - I said firmly
Sylphie was silent for a few moments but finally spoke.
-Okay, I'll respect your decision- Sylphie said snuggling up to me.
And so we fell asleep to wake up early since we would have a meeting with the Pope of Millis.
..
The next day we all got up early for the meeting, the stewards had already prepared a breakfast and we all ate.
Obviously Lucy wouldn't go since it was just work issues so she continued sleeping peacefully.
Tch....lucky....
I didn't know whether to wear a formal suit or go with my usual tunic so I consulted with Sylphie
-Which of these should I choose?- I said while I was in my underwear holding a fancy suit in one hand and my robe in the other
Sylphie seemed entranced by my figure and I could swear I saw drool forming in her mouth, but she immediately came back to her senses and thought about my question.
-Hmm, I think your robe is fine, you are Clifth's friend after all, but you would still be in front of the pope of a religion, so you should choose the suit- Sylphie said seriously.
-Thank you, dear- I said, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
In the end I decided on the suit, I felt a little uncomfortable wearing it but I couldn't help it.
Almanfi came to see us again and gave us the golden teleportation sticks.
We said goodbye to Lucy and Clive and then were teleported away.
..
I opened my eyes and found myself in the luxurious Chaos Breaker, the most beautiful castle in the world and in front of me was Peragius
As time went by I stopped seeing him as a superior entity and now I consider him a friend.
-Everything ready?- he asked looking at us all
-We are ready, you can continue- I said
-Very well, Sylvaril!- Peragius commanded eh immediately the Chaos Breaker began to move and at the same time descend
After about 10 minutes I could see Millis again until we were right above the sacred Millis Castle
At Peragius' suggestion we waited about 10 minutes for people to digest our arrival and then he teleported to the outskirts of the castle with Almanfi and Sylvaril.
It seems that this time he would announce our presence
About 5 minutes later Peragius returned to the castle
-Okay, we can go now- he said
So immediately we all teleported to the outskirts of the castle
I won't lie, this castle looked more like a church than anything else.
The castle was surrounded by a beautiful garden and in it there were some priest and deacons who looked at us in surprise
We waited a bit at the entrance and a grey haired man in his 60s came out to greet us.
-Good morning, I am Bishop Kasius, how may I serve you? - the man said with a bow.
-We came to see the Pope- Peragius said
Kasius's expression immediately turned to surprise but he nodded shortly after.
-Very well, please come with me- Kasius said as he walked towards the castle
-It is rare that one of the bishops comes to receive us- Peragius said
-Hehe, yes, but everyone is simply in shock to do anything, besides... the matter of Mr. Rudeus Greyrat comes up, right?- Kasius said turning to look at me
-Indeed, we also came regarding the fight against Laplace- Peragius replied.
-I see, Millis will be more than happy to help in defeating Laplace if that is what you want- Kasius said with a smile
After walking for about 10 minutes we came to a decent sized room where at the end of it sat an octogenarian man while reading a pile of papers.
He wore a white cassock with a strange hat of the same color.
His previously black hair was now completely white with abundant wrinkles.
We stopped at the entrance and Kasius spoke
-His Holiness, Lord Peragius and Lord Rudeus Greyrat have come to see you- Kasius said with a bow.
Clifth immediately turned to look at us, his gaze falling first on Peragius, then on Orsted, then on my womens and finally on me.
When he saw me he visibly tensed but smiled warmly at me.
I was about to say "grandpa?" But I stopped myself for obvious reasons.
-hah.....I see, you may leave Kasius
Kasius bowed and left without saying anything else.
Before we went through I could see how two deacons... I suppose, activated a kind of barrier in the whole room.
Still we crossed without problems until we were near Clifth's desk.
He slowly got up from his chair, now he uses a cane and looks somewhat hunched over, he was already short now because of his age and his hunchback he looked smaller.
A fully-fledged vulnerable elderly person
-Clifth...- I said without knowing what to say
He approached me without saying anything and touched my arm.
Tears formed in her eyes and she hugged me...
Tears formed in mine too and I hugged him back.
-I missed you, friend- I said.
-Hehe, me too- he replied
I had met my best friend....

Giving me power stones isn't that hard, you know? I'm trying to figure out how to bring you something decent, a little help, right?
