Son of the Hero King

Chapter 198 CH 177: A NOT SO GRAND REVELATION

During the last few days since his fight against Rio, Isis had been agonizing about what she should do.

It was only after seeing Nefertiti try to solicit Sol that she decided to put aside any form of hesitation and confess the truth.

"It might shock you, but — my name is Isis, daughter of Nephthys."

The moment she said this, she looked at Sol with a worried expression. She wondered what he would think of her, knowing that she had lied to him all this while. Sol was her second true friend, Sheherazade being the first, and she did not wish to lose one of the few people she was close to.

But-

"Well...I already knew about that."

Her expression turned bewildered at those words.

“You...You knew? How?”

Her voice lacked her usual spirit, showing how surprised she was at the revelation.

“Well...” Showing an awkward smile, he said, “You weren’t really all that good at hiding it.”

After that, Sol began to list everything one by one.

“One, You already told me Isis was Nephpthys’ daughter but she was nowhere to be seen while you could wander the castle as you wished, it was already a big hint.

Two, many times you almost called Nephpthys, mother.

Three, the servant showed too much respect to you, some of them even almost calling you princess.

Four, just this morning, your presence alone was enough to make Nefertiti retreat.

I could give many more, but those are the ones I can give at the top of my head.”

Sol could have given way more obvious hints she let out but...seeing Isis turning so red that she looked like a tomato, he decided to spare her further humiliation.

'Argh...I want to die!'

Isis, on the other hand, had never felt so much shame in her life. She placed her hands over her face in order to hide how hot her face was currently.

In the end, she couldn’t help but ask with a small voice

“Since when?”

Sol hesitated a little, wondering if he should really tell the truth. But, thinking about how funny her reaction was, he thought, ‘Why not?’

Isis blushed and batted his hand away before standing back up, her hands on her hips,

“Humph! I do not need you to comfort me. I am a big girl, you know?”

“Aye aye, whatever you say, princess.”

Following her, Sol also stood up and raised his hands in mock surrender.

The two of them looked at each other with a smile, before exploding in laughter.

----

Once the two of them calmed down. They sat at the edge of the roof and calmly watched the moons, finally, Sol asked,

“So, when will you present to me your friend?”

Isis shrugged and said, “Sheherazade, Sol. Sol, Sheherazade.”

“Hey!”

Sheherazade complained before floating until she stood in front of Sol, her face filled with excitement.

“I have been trying to stay silent while you two spoke to each other but now that I am in front of you Sol, I am super happy! I am like a huge fan! You are sooo handsome! Even more now and those horns! Damn, the girls back home will be so jealous if they learn I managed to get close to a dragon!! How old are you? How did you become so strong? Are you in a relationship? No, silly me. You are a dragon. How could you not be in a relationship? Even more so with how handsome you are. What do you think of Isis? Even though her character is pretty bad she is a true---Argh.”

Sheherazade’s onslaught of words was stopped as her small frame was clamped by Isis.

“Why are you talking nonsense?” Isis’ eyes twitched as she thought about her friend’s words.

“Cannot...Breathe...Dying...”

Sheherazade couldn’t answer as her face became purple because of how tight Isis' hold was.

“Then die!”

Yelling fiercely, Isis threw her away with all her might in the direction of the sky.

“I WILL COME BACK!!!”

Looking at Sheherazade that was vanishing in the sky like a shooting star and Isis who was still breathing heavily.

Sol gave an awkward laugh. But inwardly, his heart felt warm as he found that he would really never get bored when spending time with those two.

(AN: Honestly, at first I wanted to make this discussion serious and heavy. But then, I remembered that this wasn’t why I introduced Isis. Even though she has a lonely past. It isn’t really that sad. I don’t want to make another mature and heavy character. But rather this lively girl that always helps you calm down and relax. Hope that even if you didn’t laugh, this chapter drew a smile from you.)
