Son of Chaos 83 Red Flame

As soon as he thought that, he got the feeling that there really were more. This feeling came from the memories before the Reset. It weren't real memories, but more an instinctive feeling. * Hm, this feels a bit different than the feeling before.*

When he had first heard about Lin wanting to marry him, even if it was only because of a prophecy, he also suddenly felt something. It was a possessiveness, that had forced him to accept, since he absolutely couldn't stand the idea of her marrying someone else. Now that he was able to compare it to the feeling he got about the other wives, he was able to determine that the possessiveness hadn't stemmed from his memories. But he wasn't sure where it really came from.

He tried to inspect his body to see if there were any changes. Maybe there was something in him, that had reacted to the situation. But even after carefully checking his body he wasn't able to find even the slightest clue. That was until his secondary Soul Form checked his Mental Hut. At first it wasn't noticeable, but after carefully checking everything in it, he found out, that there were some changes to the unknown red flame.

It had grown slightly bigger and was now winding around a ring, that looked identical to the ring on his hand. The flame now looked like a little red snake, giving off a very lifelike feeling. * What kind of flame is this? *, Ivan wondered. He had seen it before, but since it was just hovering there, sealed in a glass like substance, he had ignored it. But now that there were such drastic changes to it, it made him nervous. While looking at it some other changes happened. Just like the black whirlpool above the other flame, which he now knew was called Killer Flame, because it was formed from killing intend, above the red flame whirlpools appeared too.

There were three little whirlpools, which were arranged in a line, with the two at the ends slowly rotating around the one in the middle. From one of the outer whirlpool a clear fluid dropped towards the flame, which was then swallowed by the dragon. From the other whirlpool a different liquid dropped down too. This one was quite weird, as it consisted of a brown and golden component, which swirled around each other, making for a wonderful sight. This liquid wasn't swallowed by the dragon, but instead dropped onto the ring and was then quietly absorbed.

The last whirlpool on the other hand didn't emit a liquid, but instead swallowed a dark red liquid being emitted by the ring. The amount of this liquid was much less, he wasn't sure how much, but while watching it, only one drop had appeared, while there had already been more than ten coming out of the other whirlpools. Surprisingly, the dark red liquid hadn't only entered the central whirlpool. Small drops had entered the other two whirlpools too.

Sadly Ivan still had no clue as to what the flame was, or what these liquids where. As such he could only observe, hoping to find out something. But these changes to the flame, made him sure, that the feeling should have something to do with it. This wasn't something he liked, since he had no control over it, but from the beginning there were many things he couldn't control. As such he could only swallow his indignation and live with it.

He emerged from his thoughts just in time to hear Jenny make fun of him. She was still on the topic of him maybe having even more wives. Seeing her glee at his possible predicament, he silently decided to never tell her about him being sure that there really were others.

Finally Jenny had her fill and she stopped mocking him. "So what are the two of you going to do now?"

"Huh?", Ivan was confused.

Jenny looked at him with disdain. "Don't tell me you were planning to just continue living as before?"

"We can't?", both Ivan and Lin asked at the same time. It seemed like the both of them were of the same mind. Just treat the marriage as something official, that didn't really influence their live. Sure there were some necessary changes, like not having sex with anyone else, but since neither of them had many thoughts about that topic, they didn't see it as important. Besides that there wasn't anything else that had to change, besides Lin not being able to marry anyone else, which didn't really matter to her either.

"You really did.", Jenny shook her head in disappointment. As she had expected. These two emotionally challenged people didn't care about the marriage at all. But unlike them, she always had seen the family, created by the husband and his wives, as something important, so there was no chance in hell, that she would let them get away with not caring about it.

"Ha, there is no way, that I will let you get away with it. I don't care if I have to force you, but I will make a good pair of husband and wife out of you.", she then fell silent, while contemplating something.

Seeing her like this, Ivan got goosebumps all over his body. He had the feeling that she would think of something ridiculous and there would be no way for him to escape, since she was much stronger than him. He could only throw a pleading look towards his mentor, but he only got a shrug as his answer. It seemed like Carl too was powerless. *Damn. Is it to late to run away?*

Just as he was starting to plan, how to escape, Jenny snapped her fingers. "That's it. From now on the two of you will live in the big guestroom on the second floor."

Lin stared at her aunt in bewilderment. "Huh?"

"If you are living here, I can make sure that your marriage develops in the right way.", Jenny readily started to explain. "Besides living together in the same room, will help you develop your marriage faster. And not being alone in a house, it will ease the awkwardness."
