SON OF THE HERO KING

Chapter 82 CH 73: SWEET DATE (1)

After finally leaving the Highland territory, Sol went back to the tower and changed into his previous disguise, and went back to the plaza to wait for Medea.

Once again standing in front of the sculpture depicting his parents, Sol couldn't help but have mixed feelings. A mix of stress and eagerness. He could even feel butterflies in his stomach.

Something not surprising because even though he was already used to women, Medea was without a doubt his first love and the first woman he confessed to.

Sol wasn't a hypocrite. Even though he had a harem and seriously loved all his women, he admitted to himself that it was impossible to love them all at the same level.

After all, even a mother had her favorite one in a family with many children.

This made this date all the more important for him. He did not wish for a perfect date but, he at least wanted a sweet date that wouldn't end in a heavy note like his last one with Lilith.

"Good morning mister. May I bother you?"

Hearing the womanly voice close to him, Sol immediately turned to face the source of the voice and was surprised by how close it was to him.

"Hello?"

He was further surprised by the appearance of the one who greeted him. If he had one word to describe her, then it would be green.

A green long robe that hides her somewhat voluptuous body despite her slightly short frame.

Beautiful long green hair that reached until her butt.

Clair green eyes that showed a gentle expression full of compassion.

Sol couldn't help but feel like he was facing nature itself when standing in front of her.

He had only felt something like that when facing women like Lilith and Camelia.

This brought him to conclude that this was without a doubt an incredibly powerful woman.

"Ah! Sorry, I did not present myself, what a blunder. You can call me Miss P. How may I call you mister?"

'This is obviously a pseudonym.'

"Miss P? I see. Then, you can call me Invictus."

Sol Invictus. The name of the god of the sun in ancient Roma in his old world. It means <Undefeated sun> or <Triumphant sun>.

The woman obviously understood that he was giving a fake name but didn't seem to care as she gave a mysterious smile.

"Then, mister Invictus, if it isn't too much of a bother, I would like to ask the direction for the main place for the games? I have to meet someone there, but it's my first time in the capital you see. So I am ashamed to admit that I got lost."

'A calm and steady voice. Clearly rich clothes and an educated woman and she said that she never entered the capital?'

Sol felt a little suspicious. But then again until recently, he had never visited the capital himself. So he could not really nitpick.

"You just have to go south. In the Milaris territory. You should be able to find the place you are searching for."

Even though the woman was suspicious as hell, he decided to not make too much a fuss for now.

"I see." Looking at the direction she was pointing, she nodded before smiling and giving a bow, "I am thankful for your help. Well then, mister Invictus, may you have a good day."

"Same to you."

Waving at her while she was leaving, Sol frowned a little once she was out of sight. Powerful beings weren't rare. But powerful humans were. Perhaps she was really here just for vacation, but he hated to leave things to chance. Sighing, he decided that he needed to ask Milia and Lilith to reinforce the security both in the light and the shadow. He would also describe the woman later.

'Well, forget this. Now I have a date to enjoy.'

His mood didn't stay dampened for too long. He refused to let anything spoil the day.

-----

"Sol! I hope I didn't make you wait long."

This time, when he raised his head and looked at the source of the voice before inhaling deeply. He was mesmerized at first sight.

Her long silver-colored hair was held up by hair sticks. The pure white neck and dangling accessories emphasized her femininity, making her alluring.

The beautiful makeup matched her already beautiful appearance, and her vibe as an innocent beauty was emphasized thoroughly.

"Beautiful."

He expressed himself honestly, making Medea blush heavily.

Her bashful look at his sudden compliments was like an arrow piercing his heart.

The usual Medea in his memory was a stern and knowledgeable woman worthy of respect and admiration. She was also someone who always wore dark and solemn clothes. As such, the current gap was even more impactful.

Thinking so, he approached her and took her hand in his as he smiled.

"Do not worry. I do not mind waiting forever if it's for you."

He winked while throwing this corny joke, hoping to help her relax a little.

This seemed to help as a small smile formed on her face. Gripping her hand even more tightly, he snuggly brought her arm to his armpit, her small but swelling breasts softly pushing against his arm, and began to walk with her.

"Then, I guess it's time to go."

Medea was a little startled at first, but did not take her arms away though she continued to fidget a little.

"Medea, could it be that you are nervous?"

"Eh? Ahh, yeah… I- I’ve never had a date before… errr, so I was thinking about what I should do."

It was cute how she stammered while answering his questions and his sadistic side nearly reared his head, but he calmed himself down.

"... However. I think something like this is already fine with me."

"Hum?"

"Being together with you makes me really happy. What about you, Sol?"

"I’m also… Yes. I’m very happy."

From the bottom of his heart, he was happy. So happy he thought he would burst.

"Then, let’s just hang out like this, talk about all sorts of stuff, laugh together… and learn a little bit more together. What do you think?"

"Sounds great."

He smiled brightly at her idea while nodding. At the same time, he marveled once again at her.

She seemed childish, yet mature, innocent, yet he could feel her deep and soft affection. Those contradictions were without a doubt one of the most attractive traits about her.

"Alright! Well then, how about we depart?"

"Yes!"

He squeezed Medea’s hand a little tighter, and she responded with a big smile, as warm as the sun, with her cheeks blushing red.

Sol knew that one of Medea’s favorite things were sweets. As such, while walking, he went towards a slightly trendy street with several confectionaries and restaurants.

When they entered the small candy shop, he felt Medea, who had a sweet tooth, pull his arm along as her eyes sparkled and began looking inside with curiosity and wonder.

In addition to a large number of sweets, all the pastries in the store looked colorful and delicious.

Her love for sweets aside, for Medea who did not observe the exterior for hundreds of years, everything she saw was truly marvelous, new, and intriguing.

Finally choosing several expensive sweets, she was preparing to pay for it but Sol stopped her.

"Ahh, Medea, I’ll pay for it."

"Eh? But I probably have a lot more money than you think."

"But still, hum, we are on a date, and as a man, I want to at least look better. A- Anyway, I’ll pay for this one."

Medea smiled brightly at those words and didn't insist anymore.

Even though those words of his may have seemed rather chauvinistic, he did think that it was normal for the man to treat the girl at least on their first date.

After they bought some candy and left the store, with a smile on his face, Sol took out a candy from her bag and held it out to Medea.

"Here. I’ll feed you some."

"Eh!? W- Wait… Sol?"

"Here, quickly, ahhhh."

"A- Ahhn."

Not being able to refuse Sol, who was offering her sweets with a happy smile on his face, Medea had the pleasure and embarrassment of being fed sweets in the middle of a public street.

The two of them could clearly feel the stares they were gathering, but Sol did not care while Medea was too embarrassed to care anymore.

After she swallowed it, she saw Sol opening his mouth and understood that he wanted to be feedback.

Feeling her hand tremble slightly, she took out a candy and slowly brought it to his mouth.

She yelped in surprise when he not only swallowed the candy but also kept her finger in his mouth, though without biting them.

She then began to shiver a little bit as she felt him lick his finger. It wasn't just because of how sensual it was, but because she could also feel some of his life force gently enter her body.

"S-Sol, please stop. The curse is acting."

Sol, seemingly uncaring, continued for a short while before taking out her finger with a smile.

"You know that the curse effects on me are basically non-existent and this is without taking my longevity into account."

Sol chuckled a little at her stunned expression. He didn't know how long à half-dragon could live, but he knew it should easily exceed the thousand.

Still, he did not wish for her to live all her life in fear because of the curse. Sooner or later, he would break this useless curse.

"Well, shall we continue? We still have ample time."

This date promised to be very interesting after such a great start.
