SON OF THE HERO KING

While waiting for Sol's answer, Ambrosia couldn’t completely hide the glint of curiosity in her eyes.

What decision would he make?

This was really worth pondering.

If she had to be honest, had it been any of the previous Kings or Queen before Mars, she would have never bothered like that.

She had lived too long and did not care about mortals. Even if Kali had wiped out the capital, she would have at most raised an eyebrow and scolded her.

She had simply lived too long and seen too many things. For her, a nap would be enough for two or three generations of humans to go past. Why Should she care about such ephemeral beings then?

But, the boy was different.

Neither because of his potential nor because of the games of the goddesses.

It was for the simple reason that he was Medea's mate.

This meant that Sol was family and as such, the weight of his existence immediately increased in her eyes.

In her eyes, it wasn’t Sol as a king about to punish a criminal, but a sibling about to make another sibling apologize for their wrongdoing.

That’s why,

‘If he doesn’t punish her I will be really disappointed.’

If, despite everything that happened, he didn’t punish her, it would mean that he was hesitating because of her powers or trying to enter her go book.

At the same time, if the punishment was too harsh, it would mean that he was blinded by wrath and unable to judge the situation.

Either way, it would be extremely disappointing.

Of course, even if he failed, she wouldn’t break his relationship with Medea. But, her opinion of him would be extremely low from then on.

‘Now then, what will you do, prospective son-in-law?’

------

“Her punishment will be…”

Sol, gathering his thoughts slowly gave his verdict.

“She schemed against the Kingdom. Even though the result was that nothing happened, it stands to reason that she should be punished. As such, I have made my decision.”

Nodding to himself, he continued, “Since she became a spear to destroy our Kingdom, I will change her into a shield. Which is why I want her to serve the kingdom for a certain period of time. She should also assist at any moment if the kingdom is in danger.”

Community service was a pretty common punishment in his old world.

“I also wish that for the duration of her punishment, most of her skills and mana will be sealed. She will act as my maid in the tower for the duration of her punishment and will only be allowed to use her powers in the moment of emergency.”

Ambrosia’s eyes twinkled, she had thought of many things, but she had to admit that Sol's choice was quite surprising.

She could also understand the implication behind it.

If she accepted, this would mean that Sol would have the four witches behind him.

Medea was crazy for him.

Freya wanted to have his child.

Kali would become bound to the kingdom.

And Persephone was a crazy woman.

What’s more, getting the Four directions also meant that, as long as she didn’t give an opposition, Walpurgisnacht was basically under his control.

Even without the organizations, having four King classes under his control meant that Lustburg would stand nearly at the top once again.

Finally, for Kali, becoming the servant of the man she had tried to kill not long ago would be a complete and utter humiliation.

Despite this, since she would become his maid, it meant that she wouldn’t receive abuse and she was allowed to unlock the seal and protect herself in case of emergency.

‘Hahaha, He is rather thorough. But…’

“How long will it last?”

“Until Kali sincerely repents for her actions.”

“And who would make the judgment?”

“You, of course, dear mother-in-law.”

Silence settled as Ambrosia looked quietly at the smiling young man in front of her.

Finally, the corner of her mouth lifted, “Do you wish to conquer the world? Like your Ancestor?”

This wasn’t a joke.

Four Kings with the witches.

Two more Kings, if you added Camelia and Lilith.

and finally, two potential demigods if he signed a contract with that girl.

‘No, he also talked about a phoenix, right? Then it should most likely be Anubis' daughter.’

This would mean another potential demi-god.

Finally, if you added her and Anubis…

Sol was taken aback before asking in confusion, “What is the fun in conquering the world? Reigning over this kingdom for just one week already made me feel like I was going crazy. I would have to be pretty stupid to wish for more.”

Sol simply shuddered when he thought of the amount of paperwork necessary to control more than one kingdoms.

This time, Ambrosia was completely dumbfounded and exploded with laughter.

She laughed so much, tears gathered in the corner of her eyes.

She laughed boisterously, showing none of the demeanor a powerhouse should have.

She was sincerely happy at this simple but clear answer. She only wished to test him a little at first, but now, she was sure of it.

This boy, or rather this man, would not disappoint her daughters.

As long as he did not change, she would also stand on his side.

Taking a deep breath and calming her laughs, she wiped a tear and said, “Very well, Sol Luxuria. I like your choice. You should go back now, I need time to prepare the seal. From tomorrow onward and until I decide otherwise, Kali will serve on your side as a maid. Hahaha, it will be quite funny.”

Sol could only send a bewildered gaze at Medea before shaking his head.

‘It seems like this woman also has a few screws loose.’

Still, it didn’t matter to him.

Giving a reassuring smile to Medea, he turned and began to leave, one thought swimming in his head,

‘I wonder if Kali was really reincarnated like me?’

He might get an answer soon.
