ALL NOVEL Chapter 49: Ars Greyrat
I came home with mixed emotions.
Today I had mistakenly become the 7th world power, one of my children will come home and I will have to pretend that I don't care that he is married to my own sister and his aunt respectively. The streets are painted white from the snow, my nose is cold, my hands are sweating from the cold and my grip on Aqua Hertia falters slightly because of this, people greet me affectionately as if I were their idol...(sigh) This world does not have the concept of celebrating New Year or Christmas.
It's just going from one year to the next and that's it.
I don't know if my version of the future did it but I want to do something about it with the new year celebrations...
I also realized that my version of the future "invented" many things in this world.
The most notable are the gas lamps and the motorized carriages.
I also want to invent something, you know? When I was young in my other world I was good at chess and I still remember perfectly how to play it.
I'm also thinking about things like printing or creating audio or video...
although that is too difficult..., for now I will concentrate on chess. (sigh)
"Look, you're thinking about that when your son comes to visit you," I muttered to myself.
I saw my house in the distance
I have completely gotten used to this situation, this will be my home for the rest of my life, Paul is visiting with my grandchildren.
They seem to have found out about my "resurrection", as they now look at me in amazement. -Honestly, kids, seeing me like that is a little uncomfortable, you know?- I told the children as I passed through the main garden.
The children still had their surprised faces but they tried to stop looking at me without being able to do so.
-Good afternoon, grandpa, welcome back- Paul told me.
-Hello Pauli- I responded with a mocking smile.
He just smacked his lip with a tch sound in response.

I entered the house and was greeted by the pleasant aroma of Sylphie's stew. The day after I returned from Rapam, she prepared this stew for me, which perfected its flavor over the years. So I asked Sylphie to prepare it for me when she could. and she willingly accepted. Nanahoshi and I are planning to get married in exactly two weeks if everything goes well. She seems excited about this and so am I, and to think that I would get to marry that girl that I stumbled upon by bad luck in the jaw of the red dragon. me, my 3 girls and my grandchildren had a nice lunch, night came and we said goodbye to my grandchildren, and so it was time to "sleep"
Since Sylphie is pregnant she can't "sleep" with us but she said something that left me totally disconcerted.
"I don't care, in fact, I'll settle for just looking," she said with her typical angelic smile.
....I could only feel a chill running down my spine
Did she really just say that?
What things made you enjoy my version of the future?
To my surprise, Roxy was also surprised by this....phew, so it's not something common after all. -Sylphie... are you sure about this?- I asked confused.
-Yes, what's up with that?- she asked me imperturbably.
I looked at Roxy and Nanahoshi for help but they just shrugged.
-If that's what you want... that's fine- Roxy said.
-Good!- Sylphie responded as she put on her nightgown to sleep.
That night was the first time in my life that I felt uncomfortable having sex.
..
..
The next day I woke up trapped between my 3 girls, the truth is it was not very pleasant Sylphie looked at us with total lust... I thought she would want to join at some point But she just stared at us... the truth is it's a bit disturbing in a certain way, I hope my Sylphie hasn't developed some fetish or something like that.
We had a quiet breakfast, Roxy and Nananoshi had awkward looks on their faces but Sylphie was as radiant as ever.
I wouldn't go to Orsted Corp today as Ars would be visiting...
This totally erased my concerns about my wife's Cuck tendencies and I felt visibly uncomfortable.
(sigh) -Are you still with that Rudy? It's your son we're talking about- said Sylphie with a frown
-Sylphie, you shouldn't blame him, in our previous world incestuous relationships were frowned upon and forbidden- said Nananoshi in my defense.
-Huh? and why??- Sylphie asked, visibly confused.
Nanahoshi and I just looked at her in silence but I could tell that Roxy was just as confused.
-Well... in our ancient world, incestuous relationships led to physical and mental deformities in the babies conceived- explained Nanahoshi.
-But for some reason that never happens in this world from what I see...- Sylphie murmured.
-Yes, I have not heard of anything like deformations or things like that either- added Roxy
I see...how in this world there are no physical degenerations or harmful consequences in the act of incest, people did not make it a taboo....but still...
-Rudy, you know you shouldn't worry about that, right? All of Ars's children were born healthy and strong- Sylphie consoled me.
-I know but...no matter how much they tell me, I will never get used to it- I declared firmly.
-Hmm, at least treat your son with respect- Sylphie told me with a frown.
..
..
It was around noon when I heard someone knocking on the door.
I instinctively tensed and froze on the couch.
Roxy decided to open the door noticing my uncertainty
From the door the voice of a middle-aged man was heard saying
-Mom, where is Mom Sylphie?- asked the man
Before Roxy could respond, Sylphie came out to greet him.-Honey, I missed you so much- I heard Sylphie say.
-I see...and Dad?...- the man asked doubtfully.
-He's here dear, Rudyyy!, Ars arrived- she said
Shit....I guess there's no other way....
I got up from the couch with all the willpower I could find.
And I headed to the door, there was a middle-aged man with red hair and a woman of about 70 years old with hair between reddish and pink with some gray
They are Ars my son and Aisha...my younger sister along with a guy in his 40s
That must be your son Leroy
-Son...- I said doubtfully
-father-...Ars said surprised
-Little brother..- said Aisha equally surprised and with tears in her eyes
They both hugged me tightly with tears in their eyes.
Shit....this is going to be so awkward....
