3rd Pov

  A few weeks have passed by sihe death of the Rudeus persona of Arthur, After his e dissipated, Arthur decided to retain his memories as Rudeus, there were two reasons for this, Although he was actually Rudeus in a way, he wasn't.

  He left Paul ah just after he was boro the courtesy of his skills leaving a e whose personality was left to Great Sage now Minerva to trol.

  The way she did it was by recreating the child personality of Arthur, or how he was in his childhood in that e, and she occasionally trolled it. When Arthur expined his desire to retain his memories of the e ag as his Rudeus persona, Minerva tried persuading him how it was pletely useless to him, as she was the one who trolled it, and it might be detrimental for him.

  But he insisted oing the memories, the reason was simple, he wao do it for his mother Zenith. After all in her eyes, he had died as of now, and he knew how much pain she was in currently.

  He ocrite, and he himself khat, but he wao erase the pain of Zenith after stealing her from Paul. Thus once he had her within his s, he would reveal to her how he was his son, and just twist the story he had told to Maria and others.

  This will do two things, firstly the retionship betweewo will bee stronger, and it will ehat no problem happens iure.

  Let's say one day he will get strong to revive anyone, heck it wouldn't take him long to achieve that level of powers, and once he gets stronger, obviously the strength of his wives will get stronger as well, and they will bee doing Divis like resurreg someone, so will Zenith won't think of resurreg his son.

  Heck if he mao make her a Goudere for him, then the ces of her wanting to resurrect Rudy would be abysmally low, however, he didn't want to take any ot to mention how he will not get the unique feeling of Zenith being different from his other women if he doesn't reize her as his mother.

  Thus, Minerva helplessly gave him the memories of his Rudeus e, which is ironic thinking that he is, iy, Rudy himself. So after he assimited the memories of Rudeus, not many ges occurred in his mentality than his reizih as his mother as he got more of a first-person film, and he just hated Paul more.

  ...

  " Zenith, please eat something", said Paul distressed looking at Zenith who still had a sad look on her face, As her eyes turowards him, they showed intense anger and hatred which made Paul feel a chill on his back.

  Even after several weeks, Zenith hadn't bee a bit warmer towards Paul, except for the fact she hadn't tried to kill him again.

  She said in a cold voice," Leave the food, a out bastard", Paul hurriedly nodded hearing her, and leaving the food on the bed he quickly left the room. Once he closed the door, he sighed sadly reminisg about his days with Zenith before, and how she behaved towards him.

  With her lovely smile that always adorned her face, he ched his fists promising to return their retionship back to what it was before.

  He knew what kind of womah was, and even if it took a lot of time, she would five him after their sed child was born, thinking that he left the pce. Meanwhile, Zenith slowly ate the food, which be said to be quite tasty made with great patience by Paul, but not a bit of happiness was on her face.

  The face of his dead so hauntihrough the past weeks, she just wished she could have the strength to kill the bastard that killed her beloved son, her own husband, Paul. But she knew she her had the strength nor the will to do so, now. The reason was simple, she regnant, and she didn't want to kill her i unborn child, by injuring herself.

  That's why she also ate the food in front of her and didn't give up oing, as she k could kill her unborn child. In her despair, only her unborn child was her hope and the reason to tinue living. Otherwise, she had tried her best to kill Paul, even at the cost of her own life, or if she couldn't she would have chosen to die starving.

  She had already decided that she would wait till her child was born, and then leave her bastard husband forever which was clearly trary to Paul's pn who just didn't uand how irreversible things had bee for him. She slowly ate the food, and suddenly her eyes fell on her spoon, it was refleg her sorrowful face.

  Her face had lost the glimmer and shi had just a few weeks ago, Suddenly she recalled one of the pleasant memories with her son, and she broke in tears. She quickly kept the food away and started g unknown to her bastard husband who had a happy smile on his face, thinking everything would surely bee as he wanted. It showed clearly that all the remorse and guilt he had for killing his son had almost vanished.

  Hours passed by, and it was afternoon. Suddenly a luxurious chariot stopped in front of the Greyart residence surprising Paul who heard the noises of the horses. Si was afternoon, and there wasn't a special occasion, no one was around to see the carriage other than Paul ah who peeked from the window.

  Paul quickly came with anticipation and nervousness, as he thought that it should be one of the members of his party, and he wasn't wrong as a certai woman came out of the carriage, this time wearing less revealing clothes.

  Paul's eyes almost bulged out seeing the current Ghisihe tone of her skin had bee a bit lighter, her hair had bee fairer and soft, her curves were sexier, and how she didn't wear ad didn't have scars made her sexier than before.

  He approached her almost in a daze and asked," Is that you? Ghisine?!", disgust appeared on Ghisine's face as she looked at Paul well aware of the fact, that he cheated oh and then how he killed his own son while drunk. She was also secretly happy, that years ago Paul rejected her, otherwise, she would have ended up with a man like him, and have lost the ce to bee Arthur's woman.

  She was also well aware of the pns of his Master, to make Zenith his woman, and she fully supported him knowing that her best friend would be happier with him, than any man in this world, especially Paul.

  She also wao see the face of this bastard who had destroyed her best friend's life, when he saw, her wife getting fucked by Arthur.

  She replied looking at him," Of course it's me bastard, who else it will be?", hearing the familiar void her tone coupled with the way she behaved, Paul uood that the woman in front of him was really Ghisine, and he asked her astounded," B-but how? How do you look like this? Is it work of some makeup ic?!".

  She snorted and replied," It is the work of a potion, that healed all my injuries and scars", he somewhat believed in that but then asked," But how did you get it? And why is your skin fairer?", she grunted and said trolling her urge to kill the man in front of her," Here, your wife is in trauma from what you have done, and you are here, asking your teammate why the heck she got more beautiful".

  Paul uood he had crossed the line and chuckled nervously," I apologize Ghisi's just- You are so different, and more beauti-ahem", he said, Ghisi more disgusted by the shameless man in front of her.

  Paul wao make the mood better so he decided to divert her attention," Still, why did you rent such a luxurious carriage? It must have cost a hefty sum for you."

  A hint of pride appeared in her eyes as she said," It is one of the carriages belonging to my husband", her words stunned Paul, who was quick to cat the fact that Ghisine had married, still due to shod reluce he asked," You have married?!", his tone annoyed her greatly, and then she said in a mog tone," Of course, if a bastard like you get married, why I 't get married?!"

  He paused hearing that, as the fact that the woman he sidered to be his had married someone else, he had already denied her proposal years ago, yet till now he sidered her to be his woman in a way as he had taken her virginity, but now the fact that she had married someone else and had enjoyed her new sexier body, seeped into his mind, making him envious and angry.

  ' Fuck! What the hell I am thinking?! I have invited her to help Zenith, I will ponder about this ter on, for now, Zenith's health is more important ', he thought and then said," I see, anyway, Ghisi's go quickly, I am sure that the mood of Zenith will bee better after meeting you".

  Suddenly the door of the carriage opened again, and a handsome young blonde-haired man came out, he approached Zenith from behind and put his hand on her waist. Paul was stunned and then he g the man surprised, as the man was extremely handsome and had a striking resembo him. Of course other than the fact that the man is handsome, Paul ignored how his face was quite simir to him, and especially Zenith.

  " Let me introduce to you Paul, this is my husband Arthur", said Ghisih pride in her voice, and then snuggled in his arms enjoying the warmth radiating from his body. Paul felt envious seeing this and wao beat the man, but when Arthur's sharp eyes fell on him he paused, those eyes scared at him, as it looked that behind those gentle eyes was a storm that wao devour everything.

  He eve scared as sweat started oozing out of his body. He gulped down his saliva in instinctual fear and said," H- Hi I am Paul Greyart", he forwarded his hand for a handshake, but Arthur didn't take it, making him feel awkward.

  Arthur smiled and said," My wife told me how her friend's bastard husband cheated on her and then killed his own son traumatizing her friend, and thus I decided to apany her".

  Paul trembled hearing that, he knew what Arthur had said was correct but he couldn't help but feel angry on hearing that especially since he is Ghisine's husband, heck if he was given the ce to Zenith, and Ghisine back then, if Ghisine was this beautiful he would have definitely chosen her.

  He looked at Arthur, trying his best to not make an angry look on his face.

  " Rudy!!", shouted Zenith as she ran towards Arthur, and taking everyone by surprise she hugged Arthur and started g," Where were you?! Everyone said you had died!!", she said and hugged him tightly, Paul and Ghisiood silent too stunned by the situation, even Arthur was quite surprised by this, ' I see, despite the fact I look different from OG grown up Rudy, you still reize me mother ', he thought and then hugged her, letting her cry on his chest.

  He quickly forted him, as if f a child," It's okay, mother, everything will be fine", he said and then thought,' Don't worry mother, I will never leave you again'.

  He had already decided,' Zenith is Mine '.
