Chapter 8 - 8. playdate

after my morning feeding and diaper change and odd shadow hack leading an army of gnomes through the sewers to annihilate rats which was pretty epic it only needed some music from 300 and it could have been a battle for the ages I've decided to knight them later and make a knights of the gnome table and figure out if I can make them some mini armor and weapons everyone needs a good vermin disposal team I'll do it once I can stand properly I can't have my head all lopsided in a knighting ceremony now can i?

back on task me and mother are getting dressed to head to the rookery for my playdate I'm dressed In my evening best a strapping green dragon shaped onsie with a real moving tail. magic is just wonderful it has heating and cooling charms on it I need one for when I'm an adult I'll put it on my to buy list it even has a pocket for snacks speaking of snacks I have a few teeth starting to come in and it hurtsssss it will be like this for the next like 6 months the life of a baby is so hard.

me and mother finally make it to the rookery and just like the book it's shaped like a giant chess piece I'm super excited to see more magical things. we make our way up the walk and knock on the door. we're greeting by a strikingly beatiful lady with a tragic future if it wasn't for me I already bought the portkey for 10kgp. my gold is dwindling but I don't have much to buy after this for a while so I can save up I used my sp in the beginning because I only had 1kgp and i couldn't afford anything anyway but I needed that magical id for future plans when my shadow gets big enough I can have him start working and get some outside cash it's gonna take a long while for me to get level 10 in my farm I'm still stuck at 4 I've had dipsy just give up and help around the castle with decorating or cleaning they seem to be getting bigger the air in the farm world is great for magicals and cultivation based creatures I don't think I open the animal based farm til level 15 or 20 I know at 10 I get backgrounds so I can make things like an orchard or a lake right now I'm stuck with things like turnips and potatoes and carrots they all sell for about the same I get gold a little faster but I don't plan on spending it on stupid things like bloodlines or crap right now I have a kingdom to save for and build up I have a whole castle with only Cassie and 2 elves living in it it has basic furniture and stuff but I want a few nice upgrades later a king can't have a shabby wooden chair as a throne now can he? plus a library with only Anime books what kind of wizard am i? a poor one that's what kind. now back to my future mother-in-law she keeps eyeing me curiously and I see that her eyes take on this silvery hue as she smiles at me. I know that smile it's the smile of someone who just got the most fun toy they have ever seen and a smile of gratitude. I know I've been caught the question is how much does she know.

mom:hello Pandora

Pandora: hello Abigail and would this cute creature be little Ryan?

as she pinches my cheeks which make me pout a bit as my pride as a man I can't have my cheeks pinched. I let her know I am displeased with her behavior as I am a king.

Ryan: mueeeee!

she only smiles more my intimidation tactics don't work.

Pandora: come on in little Luna is in the playroom.

as we enter the house I see something very troubling and I know that it needs to be handled quickly. tell me do you all know what it is? I'll wait a moment for you to guess.

big fucking erumpet horn if I recall it was a class 5x highly dangerous non tradeable good one reason for that is because it's basically a giant fucking explosive that blew up their house in book 7 now I thought that Pandora was the smart one and knew what it was she come to a standstill and her eyes bulge as I narrow mine at her she seems to get what's going on seers are so good at picking up hints but anyway she gets back into motion and we make our way to the playroom though I can see a bit of sweat on her for head this time she knows damn well that's not a crumple horned snorkack horn I'll try to stuff it in my inventory later I bet we are gunna have a nice talk.

we finally get to the playroom and I see Luna an adorable little blonde haired ball of sunshine just smiling away and giggling while playing with blocks her little golden ringlets bouncing along they set me down in the pen next to her and she automatically crawls near me to get a better look I'm shocked by her physical strength to keep her head from wobbling I really need to step my game up. she starts playing with my fantastic onsie I know right magical tail! she moves on to my cheeks and starts pinching them and poking them. this king is not happy! I let her know so by pinching her cheeks. she only giggles. I've been thwarted once again. I don't think we can have much of a conversation just yet so we have to resort to primitive ways such as playing with blocks and a real moving unicorn doll. magic really is a wonder. I'll have to look later I know everyone else wouldn't be excited but I mean it's magic normal people won't even know this stuff exists I'm going to practice the shit out of lumos later I mean most people would say it's just a light but I'd be like yeah a fucking magic light.

anyway back to the playdate for some reason I feel a sense of impending doom getting closer I look up and see Pandora standing over me with a smile that isn't a smile and I hear the world that sound like a death knoll to my ears.

Pandora: so a harem eh?

chaos panic absolute fear but then out of nowhere by the luck of God my one true title kicks in Shameless. and I reply with absolute confidence known only to kings who never waver in the face of adversity who've dove into battle against countless enemies and come out victorious.

Ryan: y..y..yesss?

I'm doomed before my first birthday I shall perish but I follow the word of my fellows and stood up against insurmountable odds.

THE HAREM MUST BE FED!

my brothers at Webnovel salute my bravery with promises to delete my browser history when I'm gone the trumpets of angels hail my victory from the heavens above and I swear I see a gentle old man giving me a thumbs up as he wipes a tear from his eye I know I've made him proud I see my ancestors clapping in the back welcoming me home.

Pandora: are you done with your internal monologue yet we need to chat.

damn seers and their mystic ways.
