Son of the Hero King

Chapter 348 CH 316:FEELING AWED

When the ding sound of the elevator resounded Isis looked up silently toward Sol.

"Tiamat probably already knows what happened earlier but it doesn't really matter. She will not intrude on my personal matters...”

Sol stopped there, not speaking for a beat, before shaking his head with a wry smile etched on his face, “Well she might tease me or mock me a bit here and there but I doubt she would do such things in front of you. In the end, all you need to do is pay your respects to her and your job is done."

Sol suddenly felt like he was some Chinese Emperor who was going to greet and have an exchange of subtleties with the Empress Dowager with his concubines in tow.

It didn’t help much that Tiamat's style of clothes looked to be Chinese in origin as well.

‘My bad habit of escaping reality when there are problems is rearing its head right now.’

Sol scoffed at this stupid habit of his and discarded all stray thoughts from his mind.

Then he held their hands and began to walk forward, his voice noticeably warmer than before,

"Nefertiti, you will present your apologies later to Isis. No matter what, you had no right to talk to her like you did, so it's inevitable that you apologize."

"Sol, it isn't really a problem, I..."

"Do not interrupt me, please."

Isis wanted to speak some more but held her tongue when she heard Sol's words. She could see that Sol was giving her a pleading gaze.

Isis was a little startled at the voice that suddenly sounded inside her mind, but since she was used to fusing with Sheherazade, it wasn't surprising enough that she would show a reaction outwardly so Nefertiti wasn't able to find out anything strange.

It didn’t take long for Isis to take a few tries and she was soon able to perfectly speak out her thoughts with just a few tries.

For divine beasts, such simple multitasking was easier than breathing. So the two of them were able to converse and walk at the same time without having any trouble or it feeling unnatural.

What else could she say after he spoke like that? She wasn't close enough to Nefertiti to clamor like there was no tomorrow.

Furthermore, she didn't wish to get on his bad side by pissing him off for no reason. So, the only logical thing remaining was to agree with him.

Isis was not the kind of good girl or even a pushover who would take an insult laying down.

The only reason she didn't explode when Nefertiti spoke like this was that Isis could feel the difference between true malice and simple jealousy or loss of control.

Nefertiti was clearly in the latter case. At least, that was the case till now. You never knew what jealousy would turn into malice after all...

———

When they finally reached the large door that separated them from Tiamat's throne room, Sol knocked on the door lightly, even though he knew he didn’t need to.

“We are about to enter. Please don’t forget to turn off any kind of force field you may have on.”

"Isis, was it? I did not have the occasion to talk with you until now. But I heard you showed off quite a bit on the battlefield. Great job."

"Your words are too kind."

Isis humbly accepted the praises, but inside she was jubilating.

After all, how many people could brag that they had been praised by the Dragon Empress?

"As for you..."

Tiamat looked up and down at Nefertiti before nodding, "Gabriel told me that you obtained your true name recently. I must admit that I am pretty impressed."

The true name was the first step towards obtaining the power of a King.

At this rate, the Phoenixes would have two more King ranks.

The importance of a King rank did not need to be stated.

They were strategic class weapons whose presence could determine the flow of an entire battlefield.

'Then again it doesn't matter, those two are with Sol.'

Her grandson was truly surprising. It seemed like his best talent wasn't Dimensional magic but rather picking up talented girls with some slight mental problems.

"Well...Since you are here, I can't really let you go like this, right?"

Tiamat pondered for a moment, "Yeah

let's do this."

She snapped her hand and pointed at the two girls.

"I will give you two access to one of my lairs. There you can take any two treasures of your choice."

She looked down at them with the smile that only a grandma who wanted to spoil someone could do.

(AN: I want to write fluff but fluff does not want to be written by me. Only bittersweet and darkness are my companions. I really need to take a walk. Been staying alone at home for like three weeks. Not good for me.)

(AN 2: Now I owe no bonus chapter lol. Don't hesitate to send more gifts. I don't mind writing more haha. A magic castle would mean two chapters every day for eight days straights. So let's go!)
