Chapter 1156: Digging Her Own Grave [Part 1]

“Do you like Mikhail?” Thirteen asked.

“Y-Yes,” Siri replied.

Arthur smiled faintly as he listened from the side. Compared to Zion, Mikhail was more obedient as a grandson.

He was very respectful, and was easier to talk to than Zion, who usually called him Gramps, and annoyed him from time to time.

’It might not be a bad idea to play matchmaker,’ Arthur thought. ’But, according to Mikhail, he already has two lovers.’

Having multiple partners was widely accepted in both Pangea, and Solterra. Of course, the man must be capable enough to support his partners because if not, he would only look like a joke in the eyes of others.

Now that the Leventis Family had shed their former title as a Prestigious Family, and was now recognized as a Sovereign Family, Mikhail having multiple partners wouldn’t be a problem.

’Still, he is being secretive and won’t tell me who his lovers are,’ Arthur mused. ’I better have a proper talk with him tomorrow.’

Thirteen, who could somehow read what his grandfather was thinking, ignored him for the time being and focused on Siri.

“Did you encounter Mikhail during your Wanderings?” Thirteen asked.

“Yes, there was a time when I was with him and your sister, Shasha,” Siri replied.

“You know, my brother is very popular with the ladies.” Thirteen swirled the fruit juice in his cup before taking a sip. “The last time I talked to him, he said that he already has two lovers. Are you aware of this?”

“I am.” Siri nodded. “I already talked to them as well, and they both agreed to accept me as their sister.”

Thirteen and Arthur gave Siri a second glance because this girl had already laid out the foundation of her entering Mikhail’s harem.

“But, my sisters and I all agreed that we will not allow any other girls to become his partner,” Siri said firmly. “We already talked to Mikahil and he also said that he will not have any other lovers aside from us.”

Thirteen blinked. “When did this happen?”

“Yesterday, after I talked to Sir Arthur,” Siri replied.

“Wow, you work fast.” Thirteen gave Siri a thumbs up. “Since Mikhail already accepted you then this deal is as good as done. Welcome to the family.”

“Thank you.” Siri smiled sweetly, as she shook Zion’s hand. “I look forward to working with you, brother-in-law.”

“Understood, sister-in-law.” Thirteen smirked. “But, can you tell me who are the two other lovers who are in love with my brother?”

“I can’t,” Siri replied without hesitation. “If you want to know, you should ask Mikhail directly.”

“Okay.” Thirteen nodded. ’I guess I’ll ask him tomorrow.’

He didn’t really want to get involved in his siblings’ love life, but his curiosity was piqued.

“Siri, can I ask you a serious question?” Thirten said in a serious tone. “If possible, I’d like you to give me an honest answer.”

“Okay.” Siri nodded.

Thirteen then moved closer to whisper in her ear, which made the young lady’s eyes widen in shock.

She then reluctantly nodded to confirm the teenage boy’s suspicions.

“I see.” Thirteen narrowed his eyes for a few seconds before reaching out to drink his fruit juice once more. “Thank you for being honest. I hope that you will be happy with my brother.”

“I will, thank you, Zion.” Siri had a relieved look on her face after seeing that the teenage boy seemed fine with her answer.

The talks for an alliance, and future collaborations went smoothly until the dinner ended.

Thirteen then moved to the other room, where his lovers were happily chatting with each other.

He even heard them giggling as if they were talking about a fun topic, so he decided to eavesdrop for a bit.

“What I love about Zion is how peaceful and innocent he looks when he sleeps,” Erica said.

“Of course, that’s not the only thing you love about him, right?” Princess Aracelle commented. “After all, Zion likes to do ’That’ when he sleeps.”

“Well, he is our baby,” Sherry smiled sweetly.

“Our big baby,” Shana nodded. “By the way , whose turn is it tonight? It’s me, right?”

“No, today is Sherry’s turn,” Erica corrected. “It’s your turn after her.”

Sherry’s face reddened a bit because she was looking forward to her turn of holding Zion in her embrace.

Although her chest wasn’t as big as Erica’s, Shana’s, Princess Aracelle’s, and Tiona’s, Zion told her that he loved everything about her, which made her very happy.

“Oh… so we’re not adding Tiona to the rotation?” Princess Aracelle arched an eyebrow.

“There’s no need for that,” Tiona shook her head. “Master will always be Master. As long as I’m with him, I don’t need anything else.”

“””Awwww!”””

“Then, can you tell us anything about Zion that we don’t know about, Tiona?” Shana asked with curiosity. “Anything that is worth sharing, of course.”

“Hmm…” Tiona pondered for a bit. “Well as you girls already know, Zion is very different from ordinary teenage boys his age. So, I’m going to tell you girls the things that he doesn’t like.”

Everyone’s ears perked up because this information was very important in their lovelife. If they could avoid the things that Zion didn’t like, their relationship would continue to become strong.

Thirteen, who was eavesdropping, was also very curious about the things that Tiona was going to say.

He knew that he wasn’t perfect, but he wanted to know what others thought of him as well.

“What Zion hates the most is betrayal,” Tiona said in a serious tone. “He had seen betrayal so many times in the past, which is why his heart had grown so cold, and hard like stone.”

“Who betrayed him?” Erica frowned. “I’ll burn them to ashes.”

Sherry, Shana, and Princess Aracelle also looked like they were ready to kill, making Tiona giggle.

“Don’t worry, those people are already dead… maybe,” Tiona replied. “Another thing that Zion hates are the so-called Heroes.”

“Eh?!”

“Huh?”

“Hmm…”

“Oh?”

Erica, and Shana, who were part of the Hero Party looked at Tiona in disbelief.

“Wait, does that mean that Zion hates me?” Shana asked anxiously. “He doesn’t hate me, right?”

“Um… Zion and I didn’t have a good start,” Erica commented. “But, we got along afterwards. So, does that mean that he doesn’t hate me?”

“Erica, and Shana, the two of you don’t have to worry,” Tiona replied. “Although you are part of the Hero Party, both of you are not really heroes. You’re more like… sidekicks I guess.”

The two members of the Hero Party glanced at each other before shifting their gaze back at Tiona in disbelief.

They then pressed her for more answers, as they tried to understand why Zion hated the so-called Heroes with a vengeance.
