Chapter 51 Part 4) Meeting Again Part 2 (Patreon)

After a few words with Trell, Desaray explained things to Claire, who, in turn, started getting everyone together. Within thirty minutes a huge group of undead were all looking at Claire and waiting for her to speak. “This kingdom is run by a friend of mine. It is safe here. The person next to me is Trell, the leader of The Great Citadel. It is a city for undead. But any race can live there. It will help you merge into the world where everyone can coexist no matter if you are or what race you are. We can all live together side by side. If you wish to move to another city later on, you can. There are no restrictions in this kingdom. All of those who have registered, pass through the gate and you will be led to the city of undead. I must follow my friend to the capital.”

With her words, those who were uneasy about the Kingdom of Serenity finally looked a little relieved. While they were still nervous about going to a new place they could now finally call a place home. This excited many of the undead who had always been scorned because they were misunderstood as monsters when in reality they were no different from anyone else.

In a meeting room inside Serenity City, Desaray sat in her normal seat while her father, Becky, and the rest of her friends sat near the other end where Claire was sitting. “To think you all made it through.”

“I remember it was a huge shock when I first saw you in the park that day. But now it’s normal for me to see undead. It kind of feels surreal.” Becky replied with a bright smile.

“Claire, you have been roaming around for a while now. So, have you met any one yet?” Desaray asked. She liked Claire’s character. She was an upright person and was willing to help others. She felt she would be a perfect stepmom!

“Hah… Who would be willing to talk to me? Look at me!” Claire may have what looked like dried-out skin that stuck to her bones, but she still had a pretty face nonetheless. Once she evolved against he might even look almost human. Both Oinktera and Juna were the same. Now Oinktera has waves of girls sending him flirtatious glances while Juna has waves of men always staring at her.

“You just need to evolve again. I think you will turn into a real beauty. Right, dad?” Desaray tossed the ball to her father. She was hoping he would catch her hint.

“Hmm? Definitely.” Ricky replied without much thought. He did not seem to understand his daughter’s scheme. Becky and Yu did, which caused the two girls to giggle.

“Th-Thank you.” Claire couldn’t help but feel slightly embarrassed. Ricky was really handsome, so having him say she was going to turn into a beauty made her happy.

“Then why don’t we do this? I will have Claire follow my father from now on. Dad, you can help her get acquainted with things here in the city and help her level a bit as well.” Her father did not really have any other jobs so sticking him to Claire she was hoping the feelings would once day bloom between the two.

The group talked for a bit more before breaking up. Mike took Yu to go do couple things while Becky stayed with Desaray with a small smirk on her face. “You want Claire to be your stepmom?”

“I think she will be perfect for my father. She has a lot of good qualities that match my father, so I hope they can one day get together. I don’t want him to be alone forever. It would not be good for him to always be single.” Desaray replied. She just wanted her father to be happy. At some point, she would be too busy to spend much time with him. She will be working on her own goals and did not wish for him to always be alone.

“I think it is a good thing. But what about you, my dear Desa? You are already a mom, have you thought about finding a special someone?” Becky was all about love talk now.

“Mmm. Not really. I have so much on my plate, and with my current aura, it is hard to say who will be able to stand by my side in the future. My main goals at this time are to level up and evolve. But you never know. One day, I might meet someone.” She had to say to whom she was really close to, Yi Ling, Cinder, and Juna came to mind. She was close to Becky as well but she seemed to confide more into these three as of late.

“You are no fun.” Becky pouted. She was hoping to hear some gossip. “Well, if someone catches your fancy, they would need to meet up to your father in standards for men…. Unless Desa, are you a les?”

“Are you stupid?” Desaray just had no plans for love. She never thought of men or women in that way. She could say some men are very handsome and that some women are also very beautiful, but she never thought oh, I want to marry so and so.

“Okay! Okay! I was just asking no need to get mad. Anyway, from how things are going, you might just become a grandma before you ever marry anyone.” Becky teased.

Desaray chuckled and nodded her head as she looked up at the ceiling. “You may be right.”
