I Shall Cuck Everyone
Chapter 242 - 242: New Revelation

I find myself in Zamira's beautiful room, a stark contrast to my mother's quarters. It exudes elegance, with state-of-the-art appliances placed meticulously. However, what captures my attention the most is the enormous artwork adorning the wall.

I smile involuntarily as I gaze at the artwork, recognizing Zamira's fondness for the Protoss displayed prominently.

Shifting my focus away from the artwork, I see Zamira peacefully asleep on her bed, her eyes closed. Next to her, a noticeably large candle emits a soothing essence that intertwines with Zamira's presence.

Standing behind me is Zagrath, her eyes fixed on my every move, wearing a curious expression.

Curiosity piqued, I ask, "What is the purpose of this candle?"

Zagrath replies simply, "It helps alleviate pain. We obtained it during our visit to the dwarves' planet."

"I see... So you accompanied Zamira on her journey to the dwarves' planet," I remark.

"Yes," Zagrath responds.

I take a seat on an unoccupied stool beside Zamira. Suddenly, her eyes flutter open, widening in astonishment as they meet mine. She tries to rise from her lying position, but I gently guide her back onto the bed, supporting her shoulders.

"Please, call me Jake instead of addressing me as Protoss," I implore with a bittersweet smile.

Zamira reciprocates with a radiant smile, a countenance I haven't seen since our previous encounter.

"Master~" Zagrath utters softly, diverting Zamira's attention towards her.

"Master, how do you feel now?" Zagrath asks as she approaches Zamira, embracing her on the bed.

"I feel much better. You can extinguish the candle," Zamira directs, pointing to the illuminated presence on the adjacent stool.

Following her request, Zagrath gradually extinguishes the candle's ethereal glow before removing it from the room.

"Why did you extinguish it in that manner?" I inquire, a look of perplexity on my face.

"Oh, that? It doesn't extinguish like an ordinary candle. I acquired it from the dwarves when I helped them defeat a Kraken on their planet. I sustained some bruises during the ordeal, and they gave me this candle to use during sleep and alleviate my discomfort," Zamira explains.

"I understand," I acknowledge.

"Zagrath, would you excuse us, please?" Zamira abruptly requests, casting a glance towards Zagrath, who remains behind me.

"Of course, Master," Zagrath acquiesces before leaving the room.

...

...

Now that we are alone in the chamber, a faint blush appears on Zamira's face. She instinctively uses the blanket to partially shield her face, displaying a shyness reminiscent of a teenage girl.

"Um... About the blood oath we took, what should we do with it? Do you intend to marry me?" Zamira ventures, avoiding eye contact.

"Oh... Regarding that matter, well... I do."

"...I can nullify the contract since I am the master of the blood spirit," I reply, feeling a slight embarrassment as I scratch the back of my head. However, inwardly, I grin, knowing the decision I am about to reveal.

"N-No, there's no need for that. Don't you want to marry me?" Zamira speaks up, her face blushing crimson.

"I... I will marry you," I declare with a smile, affirming my commitment.

"Really!? You'll marry me?" Zamira exclaims, her eyes sparkling with delight.

"Yes," I confirm, my smile unwavering.

"O-Okay," Zamira replies, her fingers fidgeting nervously, reminiscent of a bashful teenager.

...

...

"Now, about the..." Zamira and I simultaneously start speaking, causing her to blush again.

"You go first," I offer, allowing her to take the lead.

"Alright," she agrees.

"Regarding the banquet... It's scheduled to take place today. Are you ready for it?" Zamira inquires.

"Yes, my mother informed me. Mentally, I might not be fully prepared, but as the event is held in my honor, attendance is obligatory," I respond with a sigh.

"The banquet will be held in the royal event hall in about an hour. Some guests have already arrived and are gathered in the royal lounge. We plan to announce our marriage during the occasion," Zamira reveals, her face growing slightly redder.

"Oh... I think it would be better to keep our marriage a secret for now," I suggest, shaking my head wearily.

"Why?," Zamira questions, raising an eyebrow.

"I prefer to avoid unnecessary gossip and speculation. It might be best if we marry discreetly. Besides, you know how elaborate vampire marriage ceremonies can be, with all their rituals and traditions," I explain.

"I suppose you have a point... Well, it doesn't matter to me. I don't mind if they hear my passionate expressions," Zamira remarks.

"I understand... If that's what you want, then so be it," I acquiesce.

"Also, I don't want to have children in the near future," Zamira adds.

Her words catch me off guard, and surprise appears on my face. It's the first time a woman, especially the woman who will become my wife, has expressed such a sentiment.

"I respect your decision. I promise not to impregnate you without your consent," I assure her, intertwining our hands.

Zamira fell in love with me when she learned about my identity as a Protoss. Though our bond may not be profound yet, I vow to be the best husband I can be for her.

"Jake, you look quite handsome in this attire," Mom compliments, blushing as she gazes at me from head to toe.

"Wow! I never knew my master could look so handsome," Stella chimes in, her voice filled with awe.

I can't help but sigh deeply. Looking at myself in the mirror, which spans almost three meters in length, I fail to see anything remarkable about my outfit. In fact, it appears rather ridiculous to me.

Allow me to provide a vivid description. I'm currently wearing a red tunic beneath a shiny black jacket made from the hide of a gator. The accompanying trousers are made from the same material, slightly restricting my movements. To complete the ensemble, I wear pointed shoes with curved tips resembling those worn by clowns.

Sigh...

[Fufufu, you really do look like a clown, master.]

You don't have to remind me.

*Skull face*

"Mom, don't you think I should change my attire?" I ask with a deep sigh, feeling embarrassed. How could they expect me to wear such a peculiar outfit?

"It suits you perfectly, Jake! After all, you're about to become a father. Isn't it time you reconsidered your fashion choices?" Mom responds, her cheeks flushing with excitement.

"Master, the outfit looks splendid on you! I fully support Jill!" Stella adds enthusiastically.

Both Mom and Stella continue to praise the outfit, extolling its charm.

Sigh...

[Master, you've sighed more than a hundred times... (⁠◔⁠ᴗ⁠◔⁠)]

"I have a simple question, Mom," I state, my face turning slightly red from the awkwardness. How could they expect me to wear such outlandish clothing?"

"What would you like to ask, Jake? You do like the outfit, don't you? I knew you would!" Mom gushes with a giggle.

"..."

[(⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠)]

"Who exactly owns this attire?" I inquire, letting out another sigh.

"To be honest, this dress belonged to your father. He wore it when he fought against the Demon King and emerged victorious. These garments are legendary, Jake! I managed to acquire this one before his possessions were confiscated," Mom explains.

"You mean Dad wore this attire during his battle against the Demon King?" I ask, astonished. Even Stella appears speechless, her mouth agape in awe.

"Yes, they are legendary items!"

"Wait a moment..."

Now that I finally take notice, I can feel the energy emanating from the clothing. I didn't realize it earlier due to its unappealing appearance.

[Well, considering your recent disregard for the system, I assumed you were aware. However, you didn't appreciate them due to their appearance. Nevertheless, regardless of their value, you still resemble a clown. ᕙ⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠ᕗ]

"B-But they're all legendary-tier beast items! Clothing made from legendary-ranked beasts! Who exactly is my father? I, as a Protoss, have never enjoyed such privileges," I exclaim in disbelief.

[Would you like me to display the stats?]

Yes, please. While I can discern the tier of the beast items, I cannot ascertain all of their skills.
