So here's the chapter, Enjoy!!

[=============================]

I looked at father, Stunned, on the absolute bomb of knowledge that was dropped.

But then, I recovered quickly.

It's just 『Time』 manipulation. While it's certainly one of the strongest ability out there, but, compared to other abilities like Reality manipulation, Creation, and such

Time Manipulation is only mid-high at best.

Time manipulation could only be used to a certain extent at best. Especially since lots of strong beings here have some sort of immunity to time manipulation.

Just like how Sirzechs and the other Leaders of the Biblical faction could move even when Gasper stopped the time in the series.

And I'm sure it's not just them. All the God's from each and every Pantheon in the world, especially those part of the top 10 strongest beings in the world, and even more so the main threats that came from ExE.

But then again… 『Time』 is just one of the abilities that I'll be using, and NOT the sole ability that I have them.

I have the Temple! And I don't doubt that I can become stronger than them when that time comes— or at the very least, I would be able to survive their attack, and maybe run away with my loved ones in the future.

….

...

"I see…" I muttered calmly before I looked back at my father and said.

"Even then, I won't change my mind about not being the heir. For one, It doesn't really interest me, I would rather have fun with Rem and Ram, as well as train, so I can protect myself.

And second, I think Seekvaira would be a better fit for the role of Grand Duchess."

My words surprised everyone, which I expected considering what happened before.

"Anyways, can I please have something to eat? Im— kinda hungry." I asked weakly before they could respond, and as if on cue, a loud growl coming from my stomach echoed in the room.

...

.....

*Gulp* "Ahhhh~" I sighed in content after finishing my drink, and looked at the empty plates piled up in front of me, and blushed slightly.

Feeling a bit embarrassed because I ate like there was no tomorrow.

I turned towards the twins who made everything I just ate and gave them a thumbs up. "Thanks, Rem, Ram! It was great!"

Hearing my praise, Ram proudly raised her head slightly before haughtily replying.

"Well of course! Rem and I made those just for you. So you better appreciate it!"

It was followed by Rem's soft-spoken words, saying "It's nothing Hisa-nii, it's our job to make sure you get taken care of daily."

But I shook my head in response to Rem's words. "No, Ram is right. I'm sure that the two of you have been taking care of me the whole time while I was asleep. So it wouldn't be proper if I didn't show you any appreciation.

Right, Seekvaira?"

I turned my head at the only other person in this room besides us. Because my father left earlier, saying 'he has urgent matters to take care of.'

"Ah— Yes! The two of them have been taking care of you, day and night." Seekvaira, who was deep in thought before, flinched, after hearing my words, as she nodded in agreement.

I nodded in response before looking back at the twins with a smile and sarcastically said. "There you have it girls! Even she agrees with the "parasite's" words."

I admit, I am being extremely Petty here.

And that won't change until I hear her apologize to the twins.

I won't go too far of course, because, at the end of the day, this Seekvaira is just a kid, and all kids have evil bones in them, without being able to control themselves.

I'm honestly both surprised and not that surprised, that the serious and stern Seekvaira used to be quite a mean child.

She, after all, threatened to kill some Zephydor guy in the series because he was being disrespectful to her.

But then again, that's a normal reaction, considering that person made fun of her still being a maiden.

The reason of which, if I remember, is precisely because she takes her responsibilities as the Heir of house Agares too seriously, unlike the other Heirs.

I suddenly felt a tug in my sleeves, so I looked at the one who did it, and saw Rem.

"Yes, Rem?" I asked, curious why she tugged my shirt.

In response, Rem looked at my eyes, before she responded with a serious expression. " Rem has decided what she wants, from Hisa-nii."

"Oh? What is your wish, Rem?" I asked with a raised brow. Curious what the blue haired Oni will ask for.

Would it be an Item? Or, is it some kind of request where she asks me to do something?

I wondered silently, as I waited for Rem to reveal what it is.

But I was taken aback when she finally said it, because her request was—

"Mm… Rem's wish is that— Hisa-nii makes up with Seek-sama." Rem answers with a firm yet soft tone.

Her request stunned not just me, but also Seekvaira. But I recovered not long after, and smiled, while I inwardly praised her.

Honestly, Rem's such a cinnamon sometimes. That's shown a lot of time in the series. Her kind nature towards his friends and allies is one of the many reasons why she captivated me so much.

And as for her, calling Seekvaira by her nickname? I wasn't bothered at all, I actually expected the twins to get along with Seekvaira before.

That was the reason why I was angry at her for calling them names.

But, I suppose the three of them have become friends these past few weeks when I was asleep. And, I suppose that she had also apologized for her words back then.

Still, I want to test her one last time, before I forgive her.

So I looked at Rem, before I squished her soft cheeks with my now clean hands— smiled and said. "You didn't have to use up your request for her, you know?"

I then looked at the hopeful girl in question who genuinely seems like she's regretting her previous words, and said. "I'm willing to grant Rem's request. But— Right here and now, you must apologize not just to me, but towards them as well."

Before I could say anything else, Seekvaira suddenly stood up and did a Deep—45 degrees now and said.

"Sorry—!! Hisaki… I'm truly sorry for what I had said and done before. I shouldn't have said those words, not just to you, my Half-Brother, but even to Rem and Ram.

They're genuinely nice, and hardworking girls. I can't believe myself for calling them names, and just assuming things that weren't even correct.

I'm so sorry for attacking you as well. I don't want to make any excuses. I now know full well what I had done before.

I hope the three of you can forgive me." Her voice was clear and sincere, clearly showing that she knew what she had done. And honestly, for a nine year old— regardless of currently looking like her 18 year old self.

This apology is much better than some adults out there. Who says something out loud but thinks the opposite in their head.

"Alright… I forgive you" I accepted her apology with a nod, before I looked back at Rem and continued to squish her face for a bit more.

"HisaHisa, I would appreciate it if you could stop touching Rem's adorable face with your hands." Ram's voice sounded behind me out of nowhere, making me flinch in surprise, as I felt her hands taking mine off of Rem's face.

Then, In a surprising turn of events, she actually put my hands in her face, replacing Rem.

"Here, you can use mine. Rem still needs to clean up the plates." Ram voiced proudly. Her eyes closed for a moment while she tilted her head a little higher and met her gaze with mine.

"You know, If you're jealous of Rem, just say so." I looked at Ram strangely for a split second, before I shook my head and grinned while teasingly voicing my words.

"Haah? Mwe? Jealous ov Rem? How la-vavul." She responded, while I squished her face, still grinning.

"Sure Sure, Ram isn't jealous, she's just sacrificing herself so Rem doesn't experience getting her face squished more." I replied with sarcasm, before I looked back at her younger twin and said.

"By the way Rem, you still have your wish..

Forgiving Seekvaira isn't something that requires you to use your reward."

I then let go of the older twin and looked back at Seekvaira, and asked.

"Speaking of which, Seekvaira. I have a favor to ask."
