Supreme Origin: Time King

Chapter 6: VI Woman's puppet

A few days later inside the City's Lord Mansion. Michael and a middle aged man who exuded a scholarly air were talking in the main hall "Brother-in-law, how many casualties we have this time?" Michael took the list and started reading it.

"Joseph, this time our city suffered heavy losses, four died, 31 were seriously injured and 37 were slightly injured. 35 houses and estates were destroyed, half of our grain stock was burned, and we do not have enough food to pay for the kingdom at the end of the month."

"What!? Our losses were so great?" After thinking for a while he said

"Brother, I need you to go tell the king and see if it's possible to give us more time? You do not have to worry, I'll talk to my sister about why I need you to go there because you were a Divine Alchemist and maybe only you can convince the king. So get ready to leave tomorrow morning."

"Joseph then I'm leaving" Michael turned and walked to the door as he remembered something and walked back. 

"I forgot to report something. A few days ago in the middle of the battle, The Branches Family's young master, Elijah Branches and his cousin Chloe, was nearly hit by one fireball, before Elijah transformed himself and turned the fireball into nothing. We have examinations of his body, other than receiving a blessing without the need of the ceremony and the fact that we could not identify his God, there is nothing strange about him, at least for now."

On the Branches castle.

Elijah and his family were having dinner, when his father asked. "Son, do you plan to enter in a heaven's way academy? The examination will be in two years from now, you have plenty of time to choose your specialization and achieve something on your cultivation."

"Father, you don't need to worry, I have decided to become a Divine Mage or at least focus on magic and spells and father, Sis returned to the academy?."

"Yes, your sister left two days ago when you were still sleeping, and you Chloe? Finished talking with your parents?"

"Yes, Uncle, I will be a Divine Alchemist like uncle Michael because is a good combination with The Goddess of Healing as my Patron."

Elijah's mother, Catherine, a refined and beautiful woman with a gentle face and her rare pink hair, as her Patron God was Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty. She was seated beside her husband and said smiling to the two kids.

"It's good the two of you already decided what path you will take, and remember in six months is the Family's Young Generation Tournament, i expect great things of you two. Dear, tomorrow take them the Family's library to chose their cultivation manuals."

4 hours later, Elijah was in his bed getting ready to sleep, when he heard someone opening his door carefully, and felt someone snuggling with him under the blanket. "Chloe, what are you doing?"

"I just wanted to sleep with you, Ell is much more comfortable having you as my pillow, why are you looking at me with these eyes? Could be you don't want me here?"

When he saw her eyes begin to redden he rapidly hugged her and stroked her hair."No! It's nothing, you can sleep here every time you want okay?" "Really, then I will sleep with you every day." The second he finished all her tears disappeared like it never existed and a smile blossom on her face as she falls in sleep while hugging him.

On the dark space, Shadow was watching everything that happened on a light screen.

"This girl's so young and even knows how to control him, and this boy do not seem do have a strong will for now, if he continues like this, he will end up as a woman's puppet or a fallen soldier of the friend zone, luck this girl's seems to like him. Even if they are counsins, this sort of matter is not of any concert to celestial beings, they could be a good pair in the future."
