The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

Chapter 131: Sephie Michaela Deviluke

(Gid's pov)

I was sitting on my throne, bored as always. I would much prefer flip skirts of some girls or mess with someone, but Sephie would get mad if I left for no reason.

At least soon, I'll be able to fly to Earth, so I'll finally accept Ryoto as Lala's fianc, and after their marriage, I'll be free to do what I wish. Even Sephie won't be able to complain to me about not doing my duty because I won't have any longer. I'll even look like a good father who grants his daughter her wishes.

Thinking about it makes me happy and impatient at the same time.

I regularly get reports about him from Zastin. From what I read and hear, he isn't half bad. He may be weaker than a Devilukean, but for an Earthling, he is exceptional.

My only worry is that from what I heard, his eyes are very unusual, and from my experience, things like these attract trouble, and if he isn't strong enough, he'll lose them.

But that's a problem for the future. For now, I'll block any information about his eyes. Meaning I'll tell someone to do this for me.

Thankfully I won't be bored for long as today the next report is coming.

As of late, there wasn't much in reports. I understood one such report, even two or three, but after a month of such reports, it began being very suspicious.

Zastin is hiding something. I know it. That's why I called him to the Palace. I'll force the truth out of him. The only ones who could force him to hide something from me would be Lala, Momo, Nana, or Sephie. And if it's any of them, then I am even more curious about what they are trying to hide.

Right now, he was standing in front of me, clearly nervous. I was planning to press him a little bit before I could even say something Zastin confessed everything.

Zastin: "Please forgive me!!! I didn't want to hide this information from you!!! Lala-sama is pregnant with Ryoto-dono's child!"

I was so shocked that I didn't even react for a moment.

Zastin: "Whew! I feel a lot better having this lifted out of my chest."

He then paled as my energy literally exploded.

So Lala is pregnant. It's not that I was mad that Lala is pregnant, but it complicates some stuff.

I planned to let Ryoto grow a bit before it happened. Let him learn how to be kind and emperor while he grows his influence and power. While I ended the war, it doesn't mean that there aren't any people wanting to get even with me. The wounds created by war aren't fully healed just yet. Not even 10 years have passed since the conflict has ended after all, and if some of my enemies hear about this, I'm sure that they'll try everything in their power to harm my grandchild.

Thinking about what should I do, I got the idea of testing him. See how he reacts to danger, see his limits, and judge his character in person.

What's even better, it gives me an excuse to go out!

The fight was interesting. Ryoto seems to have many abilities, and his instinct was phenomenal. What's more, he could defend from my tail attacks and even follow my movements. Not to mention his eyes.

He even managed to get a hit on me, which pissed me off, but it was still impressive.

I admit, I lost my composure a little and used more power than I should have, but everything turned out fine. He blocked it with yet again another technique.

I planned to see how he would go on with his aquatic friend with his arm unusable, but we were interrupted by Sephie.

How did she get here so fast?

(Ryoto's pov)

Finally, she came. It was even faster than I expected, and thank god for that. I don't know how much longer I would be able to continue. My eyes began to generate smoke from overheating. It wasn't much, but it was a sign that I couldn't continue using them to the fullest soon, and that would make it harder to fight.

I would say that I would be able to survive for 5 more minutes at most. Telling Lala that I could fight Gid for 20 minutes was wishful thinking.

I also didn't know my eyes limits became I've never used them so much in a fight before. I said 20 minutes earlier because that's how long I could use prediction calculation, and without it, my chances of surviving would lower significantly.

Sephie: "Gid, what are you doing?"

Sephie, Lala's mother and Gid's wife, had her face covered with a veil to hide her beauty. Apparently, her beauty was so overwhelming that she could turn the biggest gentlemen into perverts.

Gid: "...I was just testing Ryoto to see if he is suitable for Lala."

Sephie took a look at me, at which I waved with a smile with my left hand as I could lift my right.

Sephie: "He looks like a nice kid. So why are you attacking him?"

She was talking calmly, but both Gid and I knew that she was angry. Not at me, which was good.

As I was thinking if I should screw over Gid more or not, I felt someone jump at me and hug me.

Lala: "Ryoto!"

Ryoto: "Hey, Lala. Please don't hug me so hard. My arm hurts."

Lala: "Ah, sorry."

While still hugging me but not as hard as before, she looked at Gid with some resentment in her eyes.

Gid: "What? I did that for you. We can't have a spinless brat become a king of Deviluke. Besides, I approve of your engagement. Aren't I a great father?"

Ryoto: "You just did that to step down from the throne so you can fool around doing perverted things to other women."

Gid: "How do you-"

He stopped as he realized what I was going for. I just gave him a smug smile.

Serves you right.

Sephie: "I see, so that was your plan. Then you'll be happy to hear that when our grandchild is born, I'll move here on Earth to help them raise it so your responsibilities as a ruler will increase."

She said with a smile, but her words weren't kind at all.

Gid: "What!? You can't do this!

Sephie: "Why?"

Gid didn't have an answer for that and just gave me a deadly stare, but I wasn't scared of him now. Not when he was in the presence of his wife.

We decided to return home before we discuss anything further.
