Walking towards the Throne room calmly, Harry's focus was on the shimmering black screen infront of him.
He was still calculating things about his future and now had a rounded thought process.
Smiling, he turned and took Lilly's hand into his. Valeria and Emma should already be near the throne room at the moment.
Lilly held his hands tight and warned, "Big brother, you know things can get quite ugly if it all went wrong right?"
She couldn't understand why he would decide to show his multiple abilities in that battle. Just why?
Harry shook his head and explained to her about the Boasphemous children and how he was not the first one and Lilly finally understood what was going on.
And before they knew it, they were in front of a majestic door. And there were two knights on each side, barring their path.
Harry ignored them and looked at Valeria and Emma who were waiting there.
Valeria nodded at them and said, "Let's go in."
The guards didn't dare to Barr their path and Valeria pushed the door open.
The King and Queen looked at them in intrigue from their thrones.
And they looked back at them in similar intrigue.
Harry's eyes were especially focused on the woman with extremely long hair, The Queen of Lust Kingdom.
One of the three Great Gifted.
Her enchantingly cold face and gleaming golden eyes even dazed him a bit.
Not to mention her Great Gift, something just as strong and unique as DreamWalker.
But he didn't linger and glanced at his so-called father and smirked as he moved closer.
Emma and Lilly held their breaths as Harry moved close and got seated on the seat right next to the throne.
In usual days, it was the place with the highest authority after King and Queen.
Either the first concubine or the wise ministers. Or other Stage 5s.
And after that, Harry calmly put one leg over the other and asked, "Hello, Father and Aunt, how is life?"
Queen Emilia looked at him with her usual cold gaze and Harry shivered inside. Indeed, strength was key.
But he didn't back down and looked at the King.
The King's sharp gaze locked onto him and he said, "Your gift was a surprise."
Harry didn't talk bullshit with him and spoke, his eyes as cold as the Queen, "I am not here to chit-chat."
The King squinted his eyes. "What might you be here for, then?"
"You know the importance of a Blasphemous Child like me to this kingdom's ambitions, I am here to cooperate."
The queen looked at him and said, her voice not one bit warm, "It is your duty as a Prince to cooperate with the kingdom."
"It is my duty?" Harry chuckled.
"I am ready to work for this kingdom and would fight on your side, but not because of duty, but because of benefits."
The queen frowned. "The kingdom never mistreated you."
Harry silently rested his hands on his knees and looked at her.
Indeed, in a sense, what she was saying was true. The kingdom never mistreated him.
He and his part of the family always had a calm life.
But still, he was resentful of this family.
They were for one part, a major restraint in Lilly's wings. She would have to protect the family all her life.
Just like the King and Queen at the moment.
And for the next part, he hated the King for ever laying his filthy hand on his women. Especially how he harmed his mother.
Even though he already knew that the King never touched her inappropriately.
The King was already dead in his book.
But still, there was a reason he showed his dissatisfaction directly, it was because he knew what kind of people the King and Queen were.
"Yes, the Kingdom never mistreated me, but it never did much for me either."
The majesties looked at him in question and mirth. Were they caring for him when he was in a coma, not for him?
"I know King, to have taken something that belonged to my Mother and given it to one of your other sons, don't you feel ashamed?"
The King looked at him dully. "It was better for the kingdom to have strong talents than useless Nulls, it is just a fact. If I knew you were talented, I wouldn't have done so."
The Queen chimed in, "And now that you have the Gu, you can use it whenever you want, we would only be happy."
The King squinted his eyes slightly. He was at the moment, very hesitant about whether to let the boy live or not.
What would happen if one day, he wanted his father dead?
It was not impossible.
But even if he attacked, there was a chance the Queen would block him. He can't afford to have their non-existent relationship broken.
He feared he would be no match for Mad Hooligan's cunning without the Queen on his side.
Harry's thoughts calmly flickered in his head. He silently turned on his Emotion Sight to look into the queen's emotions and asked, "Queen, let us speak terms, I will probably die soon in one of those Disasters, and it is just an expected outcome."
The Queen nodded and Harry could see the Icy coldness of her emotions.
While to the side, Emma, Lilly, and Valeria had their emotions roll due to his words.
"I only have one wish before I die in one of those disasters."
This was a genuine piece from him too, he was not at all sure he would survive after all. Especially not without the help of the Eye of Blessing.
"What is that wish?" The queen calmly questioned.
"I want to see how far I can go, how far my strength can grow, and how many gifts my body can hold."
The Queen nodded, and the King gritted his teeth inside, yes, it was fine, this kid would die soon anyway.
It was always better to use useable tools.
"I will fight for the Kingdom's supremacy till my last breath, but I want you, both of you, who stand at the top of this world to help me reach my peak strength as quickly as possible."
The King said, "As long as both of the parties are bound by Gu, and the conditions are reasonable, I have no objection against a dying kid's wish."
Emma and Lilly clenched their hands tightly. While Valeria glared at him.
Harry, though, only smiled inside and said, his voice confident, "My conditions are straightforward, I want you to help me grow Stages in my Gift as much as possible. And that is by helping me absorb as many gifts as possible."
Curious, The King asked, "What is your Blasphemous Gift's condition to absorb Gifts?"
Harry calmly said, looking straight at the King with his black glare, "I don't want to speak about it, but I can promise it won't even hurt the ones who get their abilities absorbed. In fact, it is quite pleasurable."
The King frowned but did not pry further, he was okay as long as it didn't negatively affect him.
"And in return for helping you absorb all of our Gifts, what will you do for the kingdom?" Emilia asked.
"I will fight wars, I will kill the Royalty's greatest enemy for you. Even if I have to die in the process."
The Queen Emilia coldly nodded.
Waving her hand, a Gu appeared in her hands and she said, "This Gu can help us bind a promise, No one who is less powerful than a Mythical Awakened could possibly break it."
All of them then discussed some things and Harry was forced to reveal some of his secrets like what Gifts he had and how it felt to have gone back in time through an illusion.
And after that, the Gu transformed into Light and bound them up in a promise.
Now the King and Queen were obligated to help him grow stronger, they were even supposed to give him their own Gifts to absorb.
That was the Rule they had given and accepted on, they never knew what Lustful Absorption required.
But Harry knew and he was barely not vomiting at the thought of King offering his own Gift to be absorbed.
'But still, the King is quite confident..'
Vincias was sure in his own strength that he would not be killed by Harry even if Harry reached Stage 4.
And in his opinion, if Harry reached Stage 5 as a Blasphemous Child, he could only die if Harry wanted to kill.
That's why there was no difference in giving and not giving their ability.
Harry materialized his Harmony Tattoo on his hands and said, "These things will further our promise, I want you to say out loud that you will be my Slave if you don't fulfill our promise."
Stunned, the King and Queen looked at the tattoo.
The King even felt a bit of fear. Maybe he should have killed the kid!
But now there was no more chance.
In the end, they reluctantly agreed, but the threads didn't wrap around their hands.
According to Valeria, it would wrap around them if they failed to protect their words.
The pressure of the two sides reduced and Harry started to talk about his demands.
"I want the King to never come near my mother or any of my other loved ones again."
King nodded casually. Emma was nothing much to him. And he didn't care about these other women either.
Harry was allowed to have 3 reasonable demands according to their promise. And Vincias found the first condition reasonable.
"I want the Queen to act as my bodyguard until I reach my peak or die in a Disaster."
Emilia nodded after a bit of thought.
"I want you to spread none of my confidential information outside these 6 people present here."
The King and Queen felt weird at being ordered by a sapling but still nodded, they also wanted to rule the world with might and get their freedom back.
They were at the moment restrained by a Gu to protect the family too. They wanted an escape.
Harry finally relaxed and smirked. "So Queen, are you ready to let me absorb your Gift?"
