Chapter 57: Have I also mastered the Dao of Stepfather?

A fragrance of lilies and grapes drifted across the room. The entire room was of wood. There was a window on the side out of which many birds and trees could be seen.

Standing there looking at the scenery was the handsome middle-aged elf. He looked outside the window with a smile that seemed to be slightly troubled.

*Coughs*

I coughed a bit to gain his attention, he immediately tilted his head and looked at me. 

"Didn't know that you were already here...."

I nodded my head and started to observe the old elf, seeing that he looked middle-aged, I had an idea that he was at least 4000 years old.

"Come and sit.." He patted his hand on the chair next in front of him. 

I went forward showing my courtesy and took a seat. 

The old man his entire demeanor had changed and he was totally serious this time, there was not a hint of his previous attitude.

Then suddenly he broke into a series of laughs.

"HAHAHAHA why are you so tense?" He screamed aloud.

My bad looks like he is still the crack in the head.

"So how is Shi doing in the enforcer-department of the human country?" He asked suddenly, his voice sound sounded gentle and full of care.

"He is fine...." I said in a low voice, I didn't know anything about Shi so I could only give vague answers.

"I see..." He nodded. "Do you know Shi's past?"

I shook my head indicating that I didn't know. I absolutely have no intention to hear it also. 

The old man opened his mouth to speak...

I really don't want to hear...

"He used to be a degenerate gloomy kid... then our family sent him to Imperial Academy from where he went to University. Now I can only feel proud that he has become such a well respected and humble child, to even become an adjudicator at such a young age.....simply remarkable!"

This bastard, he is just like his nephew, praising himself or others. Even I don't do this despite being so narcissistic.

"I have two children, both of them are young, one has a tainted mind while the other is untainted..." He sighed as his hands started to fiddle with the pen in his hand.

"I see...." I give out a fake smile, I have already seen the tainted boy... and am yet to see the untainted boy. 

My question is where this topic is going.....and why do I have to hear all this?

"You see, the youngest child who is is a bit talentless gets bullied by all his classmates, his older brother despite being one of the strongest and important figures in the school doesn't do anything to help him...so I was thinking that....." He started to make the two-finger touching symbol with his hands to show his shyness. 

I can already guess where this conversation is going...

"Maybe you could become his bodyguard in school... I already came to know from nephew Shi about your identity which is being the scum prince of the Greed Royalty and that you were hiding all your power from the beginning to face slap everyone."

Have I accidentally mastered the Dao of Misunderstandings? 

I raised my eyebrows at his request, it was not a hard request, I anyway wanted to check out the Imperial Academy. 

Before ascending and reaching the pinnacle of power again I want to enjoy all kinds of fun stuff and maybe insult some young masters.

"Sure I don't mind, I wanted an opportunity to attend the Academy because my sis had already forced me to enter." 

"REALLY?! You accepted! AHAHAHA!! Shi told me that you were a bastard and wouldn't accept it HAHAHA.." He laughed out aloud.

That slave of my sister....what should I do to him when I meet him...tarnishing my reputation!  I'll make that elf suffer!

I coughed a bit to attract the old bastard's attention.

"So why didn't you just hire someone?" I asked again.

"Ah sorry sorry...I was too happy that I forgot to answer the question..." The crazy old elf replied.

"It isn't a secret, if I did that then other noble friends of mine would laugh at me and my child for being so weak that he needed protection." He said now totally relaxed sitting on the chair with his legs crossed.

I had expected that nobles everywhere are the same. They gossip more like old women rather than developing the realm and then all the work comes on the shoulders of the king! 

Bosses don't work they are only supposed to order! And there...I was being forced to work. Well, at least the Demon Kingdom is quite better than the Fairy Realm in turns of administration.

I must say that the Demon Queen, Lucifer is quite intriguing.

They hold rules and regulations in high regard and do their work properly. Looking at the numerous documents on this old man's desk I can say that he is quite hardworking.

Congratulations old man! My disgust for you has lowered a bit by a few levels.

"Okay them, fill up this document, I will later send a servant to submit it to the school. Although you will still have to pass their test to join so that they can assign you to a class." He said in a serious tone.

"Is there a hierarchy?"

"Yes, the ranks are differentiated in, S, A, B, C, D, and lastly E being the lowest." He gave out an evil smirk in my direction as he spoke.

At that moment I had a feeling that I fucked up.

"You see there is a lot of bullying that takes place which depends on each class...."

I cut him short and say "I understand so you mean to say that kids who are D and E get bullied a lot and your child is in one of them....so you want me to purposely lower my skills or whatever they will ask me to do, during the test just so I could be close to him?"

"Oh, you are quite intelligent! Yes, that's what I wanted to say HAHAHAHA!!!" He burst into laughter.

As if I would lower my skills.

At that moment a cold aura permeated in the air and sweat started to form on Connor's head as he slowly laughed nervously with every second passing.

My disgust for him has increased by a hundred more levels! I was stupid to think good of him!

"I see then....what if I get targeted?" I gave out a fake smile filled with bloodlust.

"Don't worry, my child is rank D, so people will target you only if you offend them very badly. Most of the people are cool-headed not fools to cause violence but the discrimination is pretty bad..." He sighed as he spoke.

I nodded, wondering how bad it must be for the kids who E ranks.

"Which class is your other son in?" I asked not holding my curiosity back.

"Oh him? He is in rank A." He spoke proudly.

I nodded, The strong rule over the weak. 

It was normal for his older brother to feel ashamed of his younger brother. Hence he wouldn't help his own flesh and blood just to show all his friends and society that he was different and not trash. 

Instead of helping, he would try to pressurize him more, to the point of breaking. In which the young child would get unhealthy thoughts in his mind for eg. Suicide etc.

After filling my form, I left it on his desk.

"I have filled the form up..."

He nodded and took the enrollment form in his hands to read.

"Okay now that everything is done, let's go to the hall to eat dinner!" The middle-aged elf said as he rubbed his stomach.

Both of us started to walk towards the Dinner Hall. On our way, Connor cracked many lame jokes that I simply ignored. 

It feels so amazing when you ignore a person right in their face, their reaction! I am yandere for that priceless reaction on their face. 

But this fucking Connor can't take a hint.... this is the first time I have seen a man so lost in his own world, just like his nephew!

I bet even if I sneaked out to somewhere else, he would still assume that I am there with him and continue to blabber on. 

His nephew, him, and maybe even their entire family line are like old grandmas themselves.

After a few minutes, we reached the dining hall.

Surprisingly, when we arrived in the hall, there were already some people sitting beside the dinner table.

A servant came and pulled a chair and gestured courteously for me to sit. Connor looked at me to which I nodded and sat.

Sitting at the table I started to observe the people sitting beside me. Beside Connor was sitting a pretty black-haired lady. She looked quite a lot like Shi so I am assumed that she is his Aunt.

She had emerald green eyes and her hair fell upon her face due to what she constantly had to keep it behind her ears.

Sitting across me was the same orange-haired elf who I accidentally peeked upon while he was in the middle of intercourse, the tainted child of Connor.

His hair was tied into a messy bun which showed that he came in quite a hurry. He had pale skin and blue azure eyes. 

For some reason, he was staring at me dead in the eye with jealousy and anger.

Now, what have I done for such a reaction? I mean I know that I am too handsome but still...

The woman smiled at me courteously and spoke, "Hello young man, I am Shama, Shi's Aunt. It's nice to meet you!"

The orange-haired boy spoke, "It's Ruth...". His voice was filled with arrogance and his eyes were brimming with hatred as he spoke.

Arrogant huh? So he is one of those characters who tend to die off for the progress of the main character?

"It's my pleasure to meet such a welcoming family. My name is Irakiel, you all have my gratitude!" I couldn't help but let my hidden sarcasm flow out of my mouth.

Ruth simply rolled his eyes and snorted while the black-haired woman smiled back.

"Little Ira, you seem quite experienced in speaking," Shama said.

Although Ruth didn't catch the sarcasm, it seemed like Shama caught it.

I looked at her amused but then quickly averted my gaze.

After a few moments, the chefs started to serve the food on our plates. Just the smell of the food was intoxicating for me.

A heavenly aroma of olives and basins floated across the room, my mouth started to water as I looked at the steak and curry near it.

Connor amd everyone present started to recite some kind of school prayer.

"Thank you for the food....."  All of them said in a low voice.

After that we all dug into the food, I elegantly cut the steak without any noise. It was like as if I was cutting air, swiftly and elegantly. 

'Elegance in every move!'

Following my principles, out of habit as a king, I took the lead dominating the entire table.

 Even while eating there is always a competition in nobles which determines the status of each person. 

The person who acts most gracefully is the winner.

My way of eating was an art! No no! Calling it art is a disgrace, it is a religion.

All the people in the room looked at me with shock in their eyes. 

Shama who was the most graceful while eating almost dropped her fork and knife looking at the nimbleness of my fingers.

Even Ruth who was a jealous bitch was dumbfounded! The spiritual energy near me helped me to get even eating at a whole new level.

Time for everyone to get orgasms!

I clinked the wine glass with my fingers, seeing that the servant was not serving I got annoyed.

Is the wine gonna come on its own?

I clinked it again with my two fingers. It was how fairies would ask for a fill if they were irritated by the server.

As the clink was slightly louder, the servant came out of his daze and hurried to pour the wine.

*Fwwwwww...*

The server also tried his best to act elegant and served the wine with one hand supporting his hand and the other holding the base of the bottle.

The aroma of the wine was quite bad, classic low-quality elven wine!

I took the glass in my hand and rotated it so that the liquid would float in a 12 to 6 direction. Then I took a small sip of the wine.

The wine had a slightly spicy flavor and a sweet flavor in the end.

Haa! Not bad! I can't drink fairy wine, so I will have to settle for this.

I finished my food pretty quickly and wiped my mouth with the napkin which was on my lap.

Not bad, the food was quite good, excluding the wine. It seems like when you taste something exotic you can never settle for something lower than it.

I slightly opened my eyes to see their reaction. I was pretty satisfied with them. Seeing that they hadn't even started their dinner and kept on staring at me.

I grinned on the inside but on the exterior, I showed a dumbfounded expression and asked, "Why are you guys not eating? Is the food bad?"

*Clang!*

Connor's knife and fork fell simultaneously. 

All of them came out of their daze and didn't know what to answer, they would still take glances at me, slowly chewing their food.

"Am I that handsome?" I couldn't help but ask.

Ruth snorted and replied, "Don't get ahead of yourself pretty boy..."

Ok... I wasn't expecting that....what is wrong with being a pretty boy! You also look like a pretty boy! I snorted feeling wronged.

"Don't worry Ira, I think you look quite handsome," Shama said somewhat blushing while sipping her wine.

Ah... am I going to become another stepfather?

"I also don't think you look bad..." A low voice chimed in, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

 I tilted my head and saw the young maid who was standing behind me. Her face was in a blushed state and her ears red.

"Is that so? I find you cuter..." Her entire face went red as a tomato as I teased her.

All the people who were poking their noses and listening in the conversation were shocked seeing the usually cold and aloof maid act so girlish in front of this young man!

At that moment I felt a gaze of blood lust onto me so I turned my head around and saw that Ruth was staring at me.

Ohhhhh so it's like that hehe, Ruth my stepson... it is a pity that you encountered me.

If someone shows ill intent towards me for no reason, I am not a saint to sit back.

I placed the napkin properly on my table after wiping my mouth and gave a wink to Ruth to which he simply gritted his teeth.

Welp, it's just teasing...if it escalates into something else then I might have to think twice.

I nod towards Connor and Shama and get up from the chair, facing Magda. I give out a smile in Ruth's direction before asking Magda.

"Won't you be kind enough to show me my room?"
