In the garden of the Labeso Mansion, His Majesty and Henry were casually having a convo, but for Henry it was a life-and-death situation.
Sigrof: So, you're the 3rd child of his. Didn't know being a pervert runs in the family's blood.
Henry, thinking to himself, "You're the one to talk. You are literally in the ceiling of your daughter's room without permission."
Sigrof: A loving father doesn't need one.
Henry: ???
Henry, hearing those words, said, "If His Majesty could read minds," but His Majesty rejected this, as he needed to use his dark vines to poke his head to truly read his mind. Henry, hearing this, felt afraid, hopeless, and a bit disgusted, saying, "Please don't do that."
Sigrof: Back to our topic, why are you in my daughter's room?
Henry: Didn't I already tell you I entered by mistake? Please believe me
The emperor lets go of Henry and tells him to sit in the chair. The emperor rested his head on his hand while sitting, and his face looked like he was having an intrusive thought on what to do to Henry for entering his daughter's room.
A moment of silence, and the emperor makes Henry choose what to do with him. Either to publicly shame him in front of everyone or let him be probed by the emperor's dark vines so that he could erase his memory of ever seeing the emperor's daughter in the shower.
Henry is thinking to himself that if he chooses the first, he will be known as the pervert who saw the princess showering, or he can take the risk of the emperor probing his memory with the chance of his hero identity being uncovered but not being known as a pervert.
Author: Oh come on, he should choose being known as a pervert, he's already known as a loser. What would change?
Novel: Oh, hey, you're back. How long has it been?
Author:: I think it's been a year, bruh. Sorry it takes too long to create this shi*t again.
Novel: Just happy to tell a story again, bruh.
Henry was thinking about what he should pick, and he chose... "Listen here, Mr. Emperor, if you publicly announce I was in your daughter's room, I could also just say to everyone you were there also without any permission from your daughter."
Henry chose to be an a*sh*le, The emperor was surprised by his word and stood up, putting his hand on Henry, telling him, "Who would believe you?"
Henry: Your daughter will!
The emperor was pissed at Henry and decided that he would just probe Henry's memory right there. He once again wrapped his dark vine around Henry, lifting him up upside down. When the princess suddenly appeared and asked, "Emperor Dad, why the heck are you speaking alone?"
The emperor was confused by her question. Even though Henry and the emperor were in a barrier, she could still see their mana, but of course he could only see the dark magic and his dad, not Henry.
Sigrof: Just talking...
Lady Marci Blurty said, "Are you still drunk? Why are you talking to the air?" The emperor, hearing those words, looked at Henry. His face turned into a demon's, smiling at your soul. He figured out something about Henry. The emperor snapped his fingers and teleported his daughter back to her room.
Henry saw the emperor demon smile and was thinking, Heee isss F******CKED!
The two of them entered a portal, teleporting to an apple tree on a cliff near the county.
Sigrof: Saw you're a man hated by mana. I think I heard from one of my knights that they were trying to find a guy like that. Didn't know it was actually right under their nose. The 3rd young master. (Smirking and happy)
Henry: What? me? No mana? HAHAHA, what are you talking about? That is physically impossible.
Henry tried to run, but he was in the air, so yeah, that shit isn't doing anything.
Sigrof: Oh, I can't wait to tell this to your father! (Excited and laughing)
Henry, hearing those words, begged the emperor to not tell anyone and told him that this was just a way for him to repay saving her daughter two times already.
The emperor was laughing when he realized something. If Henry were mana-less, then Henry would have been the one who saved the princess, but the one who saved the princess asked her highness if she had a d*ck and if she was a boy, so Henry called his daughter a boy, boy, booyyyyyy...
Henry saw the emperor going into death mode. Dark mist surrounded him, and you could see eyes beneath his shadow.
Sigrof: Henry, my boy... You called my daughter a boy, didn't you? (His face showing angry, furious, and fed up.)
Henry got f*cked.
Author: ???
Novel: f*cked up, you idiot, I'm not finished.
The emperor felt like killing Henry right there when Henry still emphasized that he saved her two times during her visit to the county, which no one, not even the royal guards, did.
Henry: Let's just forget everything that happened, okay, Your Majesty, sir. (Puppy-ugly face while blinking).
Sigrof: You're ugly. (Felt Disgusted)
Even though the emperor was angry at Henry, he knows what he has done and its merits. The emperor being a benevolent dark wizard emperor. He sighed and let Henry down.
The emperor asked Henry if his father knew about what he had done. He told Henry to tell him everything.
Henry: Well, once upon a time, I was born in Labeso County. The moment I was born, everyone had known I wasn't that special at all...
The emperor was pissed and told him, "Not that. I didn't mean your whole life," while putting his hand on his head, but Henry kept blubbering about his life. He didn't stop.
So the emperor used his dark magic to teleport a chair and a table and a bit of coffee on the side.
...
A few hours later, the emperor was laughing at the Henry story. It turned out he likes comedic stories.
Sigrof: You released a deadly and contagious mushroom in a thief's den, and you weren't caught. (Laughing hard)
Henry: Well, I wasn't proud of it... Actually, I was HAHAHAHAH
The emperor liked Henry a bit more than his other brother, mostly because Henry wasn't that afraid when he started speaking.
The emperor told Henry that His Father told him you weren't that sociable with other people, and He was wrong.
Henry: My father doesn't really know me much, you know, with his pursuit of swordsmanship and sh*t. He doesn't have that time for me.
Sigorf: But he does with your other brother (the emperor's laugh fades away, and only a smile was left)
Henry, hearing those words, just laughs and says, "Well, they are talented, so they need guidance and all."
The sun was about to set. The time passed so fast during their talk.
Henry begged the emperor to not tell anyone about his secret identity as a wannabe hero in the county known as the Agaric, as it would ruin everything.
The emperor promised Henry he wouldn't. The emperor teleported back to the mansion with his dark magic, leaving Henry behind.
Henry was still sitting beneath the apple tree and was thinking, "He left me behind."
