Dragon Sage Thesis

CHAPTER 16

CHAPTER 16

The sunlight shoved upon my face. It's already morning, and time for breakfast. My mother just opened the curtains to interrupt my incomplete sleep cycle.

"It's morning now, Ulysses. Breakfast is ready."

"Just leave me some leftovers." I lazily turned to the other side of the bed to avoid the sunlight. "Today is my day off anyway, and I still need to sleep."

"That's because you stayed up way later than you said you'll be." My mother yelled. "I thought the princess' debut ends in midnight, but you went home at three in the evening."

"We had some job to do," I said.

I decided to turn my phone on since I will never get any more sleep with my nagging mother here anyway. My body is magnetized to the comfortable bed, and I don't want to get up yet.

I heard my mother sigh.

"What are your plans for your life, Ulysses?" She asked.

"What?"

"I know you're a Dragon Sage already, and that is a great achievement. But as human beings, we should strive to achieve all goals in this life."

"What is more than being a Dragon Sage that I should get?"

"Getting a wife."

Hearing that sentence made me accidentally swallow all the bitter stale saliva stored in my mouth. I took a deep breath and gave a quick answer.

"I don't wanna."

My mother ignored me and continued to blabber nonsense. "Our house is finally growing towards higher aristocracy, and a noble shall inevitably pass their legacy and riches to the heir. You need a wife so that you can bear beautiful children that shall continue the Corasell nobility. Your father and I are already excited about naming your offspring already."

"No. I have plans of my own, and that doesn't involve getting a girlfriend, a wife, or a playmate either." I lazily said.

"What's your plan? Staying here in your room all day and night, playing video games, and watching cartoons? You're already an adult, a Dragon Sage at that, and you still think like a shut-in kid!"

My mother just took the words from my mouth, so I didn't answer. She knows me well. And for the record, I don't watch cartoons. It's hentai- I mean, anime!

"That is one of the reasons why you need a girlfriend right now." My mother continued. "You need somebody to change your shut-in attitude. A matured woman that would help you grow more as a person will be the best."

I just replied with a sigh. Hearing me uninterested in her sermons, my mother exited the room.

It took me a few minutes before getting up from my bed. I only had four hours of sleep, and I think it would suffice for eating my breakfast. I'll just go back here in my room and sleep, then spend the remaining hours of my day-off playing games.

I went on my morning routine. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. As evidenced by my eyebags, I'm too tired to play handsome today. I want to spend as little energy I can.

I went downstairs. My family is already eating their breakfast. I was about to join them and settle down on my seat, but the doorbell rang.

Since I'm the only person left standing, it was my duty to answer the bell. I went to the entrance and opened the door.

"Good morning, Uly~" A beautiful girl with long dark-blue hair greeted me with an angelic smile.

I immediately closed the door. Then I crossed my arms and indulged myself in deep thought.
