Chapter 193: Hestia×Hades? by Harem-Fan

     After the blushing Samantha fled, Ryan's eyes lifted and he asked me with a wicked smile.

     "Sam, is she one of your girls, if not, can I steal her?"

     "................"

     Suddenly, when my mouth wanted to say she was not mine, my inner-voice (his soul) said to not say it.

     I had not noticed the look both Chuck and Ryan exchanged, or what they were looking at... But I finally said.

     "No... You guys can't go for her, sigh."

     Chuck said with a grin.

     "What, do you like her?"

     I look at Chuck, and see Ryan is lifting his eyebrows in anticipation.

     "Yeah, but I let her get away, because I did not know she was destined to meet me. I feel like a jerk for not accepting her before."

     Ryan then asked seriously.

     "What do you mean, Destined?"

     I drank the whole glass of whisky, poured more and said.

     "Pluto told me she was my wife in the past life, and my heart hurt seeing her walk away..."

     Ryan then asked.

     "So the real reason you gave her gold, a space-device, and cores, was simply because she was your past love?"

     As I nodded, I had not noticed that Ryan should not know what I gave her, or that the place was getting quiet, but I continued.

     "Getting her held back, and seeing her sad, really made me want to help her. But I do not know how to face her... I cannot just say... "Hey, you're my past life wife, so stay with me from now on", can I?"

     Chuck jokes, and smiles stupidly.

     "Actually, you should tell her exactly that."

     I took out her Letter of Intention from my ring that Rebeca gave me back, and said with a confused smile.

     "She gave me this nearly two years ago, and I only read it, and never even had the nerve to decline her, so she waited for a long time, and my ass did nothing but ignore her feelings... How can she forgive me for that? I think, in this life, she will not like me."

     Sniff~! As Ryan, with a grin, pats my arm, I heard it...

     I could almost hear imaginary rusty-gears in my neck, as I turned to see everyone in the restaurant, including Boss, Penny, and a crying Samantha all looking at me... I suddenly want to dig a hole and die, because I do not know how much of that she heard, so I asked.

     "Cough, How much did you guys hear?"

     Boss, or rather her dad Mr Heartland, said.

     "No, you guys can't go for her... I think?"

     Samantha took the Letter of Intention she wrote me from my hand, that I forgot I was holding, then she asked with a trembling voice.

     "Hello junior Roland, I am Samantha Heartland, and I wanted to give you this letter. It expresses my intentions, so I hope you consider me, have a great weekend..."

     Thankfully, she used her original practiced speech, confusing others with my new last name of Lucas.

     But what her confession tells me is she practiced that line hundreds of times in front of a mirror, to get it right. Honestly, this time hearing the words, my heart is about to explode knowing how serious she is. As I took the held out letter, I joked.

     "I was looking forward to seeing you in that dress again, but this is good to... I will gladly accept your Letter and confession, Sammy."

     As I put the letter away again, I stood. As she came in for a hug I am offering, her mom and dad put the food on the table they were bringing.

     While Samantha was hugging me, she asked softly.

     "Is everything you said true?"

     As I nodded to the red-eyed woman in my hug, her dad patted my shoulder and pointed to the kitchen.

     "Little Sam, let's talk there for a bit."

     Penny smiled, and followed the three of us, while Chuck and Ryan started to eat the spaghetti and meatballs, while looking like proud parents.

-

     Inside the large kitchen, there were large pots of boiling water, ovens, baking goods, and stacks of clean plates, and a dirty dish area.

     Boss saw that his Daughter was wiping her eyes dry, and he said to me seriously.

     "You have been gone for two years, and you did not stop by once, do you not like us anymore?"

     I shook my head and said.

     "Sorry Boss, but the moment I stepped foot on Rosecrans Island, my life changed too much. It is not because I forgot you, it is just I did not want to bring my problems to my old neighborhood... My new home requires Royal Knights to guard it, and I even had to sneak out to come here."

     Penny, hearing me, just patted my shoulder, as she headed out to the floor to take care of guests.

     "Well, you're a Prince now, so your responsibility is huge, I will be back..."

     Boss went back to the food, so it won't burn, and he said.

     "You really hurt Sammy's feelings back then..."

     She gripped my hand, and scolded.

     "Dad, he did not know, and many girls were doing it, he could not know who I was, dressed like that."

     "No, Boss is right. I just took your confession for granted... Even if I was avoiding women back then, I should have at least turned you down or found out more about you, I believe."

     Samantha glared at her dad anyway, but her Dad ignored her and asked me.

     "So now what, are you going to sweep her away and make her your mistress? What is your plan?"

     Her hand both tightened and trembled, but I smiled and said to both of them.

     "I want to date and go to school with her... I want to get to know her the right way. To be honest, I have not planned at all, I just know I do not want her to be with another man."

     Boss grins and says,

     "The gifts you gave my Daughter are for your guilt, but if you want to date my baby, you must give me the Lasagna recipe, I can't get it right, sigh."

     Pfft~! Samantha seeing her shameless dad, and my speechless face for selling his daughter for a food recipe he begged for for years, really brightened her gloomy day away.

     As Penny came in, she said with a smile.

     "Your friends ate your food, then paid and left... They said to go home without them, and congratulations."

     Somehow, I can imagine the two guys both giving me a Chuck Norris thumbs-up with a grin, and realized that I was set up, and Ryan knew about Samantha here.

     Boss seeing that, tapped a pot and said to me,

     "Hey, I can brag forever if a Crown Prince does some cooking, come on boy."

     Boss is so shameless in the kitchen, I believe he would even ask Evil Loli to serve tables.

     As I was rolling my sleeves up, Samantha protested.

     "Dad, if the Royals found out we made Sam cook, we could get in trouble."

     Boss waved his wooden spoon like a sword and said to his child.

     "Nonsense, you cannot take the cook out of this kid, he loved cooking even more than my daughter back then, haha. Come and show me more Sam!"

     I say to Samantha.

     "Let's take our time, but for now, let me slay this kitchen Demon for the Kingdom."

     Penny pulled her Daughter out to work, and left me and Boss to catch up and cook...

     And for a couple hours, I relived my youth of not being a Summoner, and got to be a normal guy for a bit.

-

     Out back, I was tossing the trash, and smiling.

     Then I heard Samantha come out back, and she leaned against the doorjamb.

     "Sam, I feel like when you leave, I will never see you again, and I will wake up, knowing I had a dream..."

     Using my water magic, I cleaned the two of us up, and she looked amazed. My skill with it is top notch, but when she takes off her clothes later and sees she has no body hair below her neck, she will scream in shyness.

     I opened my arms to invite her, and she blushed while coming for a hug, then I said while holding her firm.

     "Well, then let us both not wake up forever, alright? But we do need to take things a bit slow, because I want to know more about you. But before I leave, I want to kiss you, what do you say?"

     Just as she was going to look up and say yes, I captured her lips, and I slowly felt my heart...

     While we both closed our eyes, I pulled my toga from my ring, and held it behind her.

     Thump Thump Thump~! And as I guessed, the two of us felt our hearts tremble. (Hestia was the third goddess to strip Hades bare.)

     She did not notice it was because of the toga, but she felt the true-love connection. I put away the toga, stopped the kiss, and asked her.

     "There, you're not dreaming. Loving me will be challenging with all my lovers, but I will never abandon you from now on, got it?"

     With her face rosy, she nodded and hugged my neck, then kissed me one more time, and I accepted it for a while in the dark.

     But all good things come to an end, because I have not forgotten my promise to Jasmin, and need to get back to her. So I say to Samantha.

     "Alright, I will try and eat here once a week during the summer, and maybe... Maybe you can buy more of those dresses I like... You looked great in it?"

     "Hahahaha~! I knew you would love it, I was not wrong about what you liked after-all... I will wear them for you Sam, just compliment me because I am shy. Now go, I kept you for too long. Thank you for accepting me in this life, Sam, mwah..."

-

     As I left the Home & Hearth with a lightened heart, the shadows moved besides me, and Jasmin reappeared, and took my arm.

     "Your friends are pretty good guys, and I think you took responsibility well, that girl loves you I think."

     I held the black clad dancer in my left arm and told her seriously.

     "Tonight, in my old room where you first met me... I intend to get you pregnant. I feel it in my bones. Jasmin, do you believe me?"

     She took her black veil off, kissed my cheek, and did not believe it, but said.

     "If you get me pregnant tonight, I will have sex even with my Sister in the bed from now on."

     I picked up this temptress in my arms, kissed her, and ran to my old house.

     I worked hard this night, but my bed did not make it in the end, and laughter and moans filled my childhood bedroom.

-

     Jasmin cursed her bad luck the next day...
