Chapter 1169: Gremory
Chapter 1169: Gremory
Soon, Dominic came upon a very large room and knocked gently.
"Gremie, it's papa," Dominic called out softly, doting and love present in his voice.
"Oh… come in then dad." A soft feminine voice that made the hearts of Eva and Shuangtian skip a beat emerged from behind the door, prompting Dominic to open it.
He walked in briskly, allowing Draco and his two wives to follow him. However, upon entry, the trio were rooted to the place in shock, their mouths drooping and their eyes almost bulging.
For what did they see? It was a lovely young woman of their age who was of average height, with spiky black hair and light green eyes full of spirit. Her skin was creamy and her lips were thin, pulled into a sweet smile.
Her body was also quite developed and definitely superb, having the feminine grace that she deserved. It did not reach Shuangtian or Zaine, but definitely surpassed Roma and Eva.
It was slightly above Rina and Hikari, which was quite amazing when you thought about it. However, none of this was what caused the trio to become so flabbergasted that they froze on the spot.
It was the simple fact that, for all intents and purposes, the young woman lying on the bed wearing cute pajamas was virtually a carbon copy of the young man looking at her.
If one took a character creation tool belonging to God and switched Draco's character from male to female, the converted version would basically be Gremory. From head to toe, the girl was exactly like Draco, so much so that even Draco himself felt surreal.
Before he could say anything, Draco's was bashed to the side by two powerful fists, one white and one brown. He was sent flying out of the building into the distance, crashing through mountains and digging a hole in the ground.
Meanwhile, Eva and Shuangtian screeched and rushed over to Gremory who was startled, immediately surrounding her and fawning over her.
"Oh my god, you're so beautiful!!!" Eva said with hearts in her eyes.
"You are such a darling, I simply can't!" Shuangtian gushed with drool coming from her mouth.
Gremory shrank back and laughed awkwardly at these two beauties who came from nowhere and suddenly sent someone flying before looking at her lecherously.
"Ermm… thank you… haha…"
Dominic was simply left speechless, his eyes bulging as he saw the hole in the wall where Draco had been sent flying. As a man, Dominic understood that Draco, his nephew, was likely suffering greatly because both of his women were likely just as strong as him so how could he subdue them both?
Every day for his poor nephew must be a battle of life and death. Forget wearing the pants in the relationship, his women may end up pressing him down to toy with him instead!
Dominic felt great sympathy for Draco at this moment.
Meanwhile, the other core members who just entered the room were used to this, but were also shocked speechless by Gremory. How could there be someone who was essentially a female version of the boss?
The other ladies, and especially Fyre, immediately gushed over Gremory. In fact, Fyre directly hugged Gremory's head into her massive chest, causing the young woman's face to go blue then purple, tapping her arm for air.
The males did not dare be frivolous, but they shared looks. Hmm, was this considered blasphemous if they conquered the female version of their boss? Hehe, if they did so, would Draco ever dare to let out a fart in their presence again?
If Draco ever suppressed them, they could run behind Gremory and stick their tongue out at Draco, watching him be unable to do anything about it. What a wonderful future!
As for Draco, he dug himself out of the rubble and coughed out rocks as well as sand from his mouth, his forehead creasing into a black line. Even if Shuangtian and Eva were horny for Gremory because she was the female version of him, that doesn't mean they should discard the real deal!!!
He teleported back into the room and folded his arms, glaring at the two beauties who were putting their hands on his cousin inappropriately, causing her face to become red. Sensing Draco's presence, Eva and Shuangtian came to their senses and felt embarrassed by having their emotions overcome their rationality.
They guiltily stepped back without even looking at Draco. The other ladies also did so, while the fellows lowered their heads to hide the evil glints in their eyes. Seeing that his cousin was finally given space to breathe, especially since Fyre let go finally, Draco turned to Dominic.
"She looks fine to me though?"
Dominic sighed. "It seems so. She passed through a very dangerous period when she was a toddler, and after that, the backlash stopped occurring. However, she was permanently crippled in the sense that her body has become weak. Due to your bloodline's influence during the backlash, she possesses no deformities and her body is healthy to all forms of inspection, but she can't even smash a fly to death."
"Oh?" Draco muttered and finally walked up to the bed, looking at his cousin who might as well be his identical twin of the opposite sex.
Gremory as looked at Draco with a strange look, a feeling of trust and reliance appearing in her heart. She didn't know who Draco was, but her everything was telling her that this person was the one who most wanted to protect her in this world and make her happy, which made Gremory feel weird.
"Hello, my name is Draco, and I'm your cousin." Draco introduced himself awkwardly but gently.
"Oh. Hello, my name is Gremory, and I guess we are cousins then." Gremory greeted back with a sweet smile.
Draco sat at the edge of the bed and clasped his hands together. "Gremory… it's my and my parents' fault that you suffered so much. I want to apologize for all you have been through and I want to help you become better."
Gremory was surprised. She seemed to understand who Draco was and went silent for a while, causing the room to become tense. Immediately, the others began to make up excuses as they filed out of the room one by one, even Eva and Shuangtian who looked at Draco with worry, but still left with Dominic, who closed the door behind them.
Gremory's expression was extremely complicated. To say that she felt nothing would be a complete lie, how could things be so sweet in the world that after being crippled her whole life, she would look upon the reason for it and act nonchalant?
"I've… spent time with Uncle Dante and Aunty Lilith a lot this past few months. They are really nice people and they told me a lot about you." Gremory finally said slowly.
To her surprise, Draco shook his head. "What could they possibly know about me? They threw me out when I needed them the most."
"No! Don't say that!" Gremory exclaimed, leaning towards Draco with an angry expression on her face, startling him.
She seemed to realize her mistake and leaned back, but she was still firm.
"D-Don't say that. Whether it's my mom, my dad, your mom, or your dad, they always blame themselves for what happened back then. Blame blame blame, I'm sick and tired of it! So what if it happened? Why is everyone so stuck in the past? Things happened for a reason and if we are to spend every day of our present hating ourselves for the past, then what's the point of being alive?!"
By the end, Gremory was practically shouting while Draco listened in silence.
"Sorry… it's just annoying. I have spent a lot of time in this bed thinking about what life would have been like if those events never occurred, but I eventually got tired of that too. I may not have the best life with my weak body, but I am alive and I am not in pain every day."
"I can eat food, I can play games, watch movies. I can also do adult stuff if I wanted but mom and dad wouldn't allow it until I got better. I may not be able to do everything but I can do what I can, and that's enough." Gremory concluded softly.
To her surprise, a hand softly patted her head, which turned out to be Draco, who was smiling. Draco finally opened his mouth and spoke in a very soft tone filled with warmth.
"Saying all of that is cringe and retarded. Please don't ever say that in public."
Gremory's face froze and she threw a weak punch at Draco's chest which hit with all the force of a plushie hammer. Her face was red with embarrassment and she tried to throw rapid punches at Draco, but they all did negligible damage, to which Draco laughed uproariously.
Draco suddenly stood up and radiated an intense aura that made Gremory's breath catch. "You are right Gremory, the past is not important. That is why from now on, as I should have from when we were children, I will be taking you as my little sister. I will protect you, provide for you, and make sure that every day of your life henceforth is spent in happiness and bliss!"
Draco gently stroked her cheek to which a single tear had fallen. "From now on, I will be the best brother you will ever have."
