"Big Brother Roland treats me really well, he often tells me bedtime stories, at night, just the two of us."
"As expected of a little girl who hasn't even matured yet, you actually like to listen to fairy tales. But let this big sister teach you, all fairy tales are lies, princesses are all useless flower vases, princes are mostly perverts with different sexual orientations. Actually, there are many such examples around us. "
"You … you, you are slandering me!"
"But I can't blame you for being too naive, children have the right to be innocent. When I was young, I also liked to listen to my master's stories, I probably listened to them for more than a hundred years. Oh, I should call you darling now. Now that you mention it, it really makes me feel embarrassed. "
Eliza, who was covering her mouth and giggling, didn't look embarrassed at all. With just a few words, she managed to amuse the immature Renée, but it seemed like I was the innocent victim once again.
"Looks like Eliza must have met Cavendish, he is definitely a pervert, it is normal for her to have such an understanding. Un, she definitely isn't talking about me. "
Shaking my head, I ignored the discussion and focused my attention on the feast in front of me. Due to many reasons, this seemed to be the first time I was eating food personally made by Eliza.
In the past few days, after being the subject of many experiments, I had no choice but to take over the responsibility of cooking. However, I was already sick of eating my own food, and Cohen's culinary skills were very average. Recently, I had not been eating his food. As long as Elisa's cooking wasn't bad, I would be satisfied.
It was a common broth, the meat slices were finely sliced, with bits of wild grass floating on top. The unknown spices increased the attractiveness of the broth, and the fragrance of chopped green onions greatly increased my appetite.
"Delicious!"
Even though I expected Eliza, who was good at housework, to have good cooking skills, the broth still gave me quite a surprise.
It was fatty but not greasy in my mouth, and the fragrance assaulted my nostrils. After swallowing, my mouth was filled with a lingering fragrance, making me want to drink more. The barbecued meat on the side was covered with wild honey and spices, which also increased my appetite.
"What kind of spices are these? They must be very expensive! Un, un, delicious! "
Thus, I immediately started chewing. On the other side, Katherine and Cohen looked at each other and started chewing as well.
Judging from the way they wolfed down the food without a care for their image, I wasn't the only one who was tormented these past few days.
Perhaps the most delicious food that I could remember was the last meal I had before I ascended to God Ascension. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, Eliza wasn't able to personally make it. This was a pleasant surprise.
"Hey, if you don't eat, we'll finish it all."
"I have no appetite." Renée was very strong-willed, but just as she said that, her slightly rumbling stomach made her blush on the spot.
"Hehe, the most important thing in life is to be happy, and having a full stomach is the first priority. Roland, eat slowly. Don't choke. Are you hungry? If it's not enough, I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you. "
Thus, I nodded my head in delight. After regaining my physical body, I didn't have many hobbies other than being more and more gluttonous. As long as the culinary skills were outstanding, I wouldn't reject anything, so how could I possibly reject such a thing?
But that afternoon, I knew that there were some things that I couldn't eat randomly, especially that beautiful smile of hers, which belonged to a Demon filled with resentment.
"Ahh! My stomach hurts and my head feels dizzy. This is the fourth time I'm having diarrhea in a day! Eliza, what did you put in the noodles! "
"Cursed spice, Black Datura Grass. Just as you said, this is an extremely expensive spice. What you ate just now is equivalent to gold. Right, there's also the Little Fanged Dragon meat that I just harvested. This is a great tonic. Aiyo, Lord, could it be that you're too weak? That's not good, let me cook another bowl of noodles for you. "
The Datura Grass that was used to make poison was actually used as chopped green onions. The Little Fanged Dragon was also known as the Little Green Dragon, and it was also poisonous. Should I be glad that the two poisons intersected and it was only my stomach that was affected?
"No, that's not right, why are they fine after eating it too!"
"Aiyo, actually, I've already processed the poison. It's probably because there's some catalyst in the noodles that caused the poison to erupt again. I'm so sorry, Master. "
The explanation and apology on the cold noodles were completely emotionless. Word by word, it was as if she was reading a script. Only now did I realize that perhaps, probably, actually, Eliza had been angry all this time …
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Alright, a wise man submits to circumstances. I understood that this little brat's tendency to hold grudges and take revenge was extremely long. In order to have a delicious lunch to eat in the future, I apologized on the spot. Although I didn't know what I did wrong, was it because I was too busy recently and didn't have time to contact her?
"It's all your fault. But since you've apologized, I'll accept it. "
Elisa finally revealed a sincere smile. Then, she tossed me a small bottle. I immediately swallowed it, and my tummy finally felt better.
Another reason why I was most satisfied with Eliza's personality was that even though she liked to throw tantrums, she would be forgiven as long as she apologized. If I accidentally angered her, apologizing first was definitely the right thing to do.
"… I'm finally feeling better. I'm a living person now, so I'll really die! Don't make such a joke next time. Right, how did you come here? What's with this physical body? "
On the other hand, Elisa's arrival was a pleasant surprise. Soon, I understood the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that Eliza's physical body was only an incarnation that had descended from the beastmen's sacrifice. It was a sacrifice that had been embezzled. As a Marquis, it was quite difficult for her to do this, as this incarnation didn't have much power.
It was fine for her to do daily things, but it would be impossible for her to participate in battle.
"Enough, it's a good thing that you're here."
This wasn't because my masochism was acting up and I liked to be messed with. It was because I had had enough of the pain of not having a capable assistant. Now that Eliza was here, I could finally go back to being a hands-off boss.
The moment I said this, the cold Eliza smiled in satisfaction. She then moved closer to me and looked at me face to face.
"… I can roughly guess what you're thinking, but I'm still quite happy to hear you say that. This is your reward."
From a certain standpoint, the demonized Eliza was more willing to express herself and pursue her own feelings.
Her youthful face came closer and closer. The frost on her face had already melted, and underneath the ice mountain was a fiery passion. Eliza's cheeks were flushed red, and her alluring red lips were giving off an astonishing amount of charm and heat. I was forced to the point where I had no way out.
"You … What are you doing!!"
Unfortunately, I wasn't the only one here. Forget about the two of them who were trying their best to reduce their presence and pretend to be statues, Reyne didn't intend to sit by and watch this happen. She rushed to the center and stopped everything from happening.
"Pity? I actually felt that it was a pity? "
Just as I was inexplicably conflicted over the change in my attitude, Eliza and Renée began arguing verbally again.
"I finally understand why Master hates naughty children who don't know what's good for them. You should pretend not to see your parents being intimate."
"Parents … Who's a parent? Also, I'm not a naughty child! I'm fourteen years old! I could've gotten married long ago! "
"Fourteen years old? How inconceivable! I thought that you were only ten. Anne seems to be only ten years old, but she has already far surpassed you. "
Alright, even though she didn't say it clearly, but from the slight tilt of her gaze, it was clear that she had surpassed me in that aspect.
"That, Eliza, don't you feel heartache for saying that?"
Alright, from the twisted corners of her lips and twitching eyes, the venomous flat-chested young lady A was currently clenching her teeth to kill a thousand enemies while destroying eight hundred of her own. A certain weak spot on the young lady's body was probably bleeding.
Just like in the past, with just a few words, Eliza completed her massacre, and the clumsy Renée could only hide in a corner to sulk.
Suddenly, even though she was still teasing Renée, Eliza's words came from the ring.
"Master, I have investigated the origins of the bloodline of the new Mist Kingdom's royal family. I'm afraid that things are much more troublesome than expected. Using your words, this is a huge conspiracy, so huge that I can only be at ease if I tell you personally. The barrier has already been set up. Listen to me and don't overreact. "
…
The formless barrier blocked off all prying gazes. I continued to squat by the side, basking in the sun. Eliza had already started to clean up the dishes, but the connection between the two grew closer.
"Firstly, that is indeed the true Mist Bloodline, but it isn't your descendant. You are still as expected, a ten thousand year old bachelor, a veteran of the FFF Guild, a Forbidden Incantation Magister, and the spiritual teacher of the Torch Festival. Thinking about how I became the first love of a ten thousand year old virgin, I felt a little agitated. Then, I instinctively felt a little disgusted and dangerous. It is said that if you hold it in for too long, you will become a pervert. If you hold it in for thirty years, you will be able to do anything. If it is three hundred years …"
While I was being ridiculed by the venomous tongue, a shocking secret was coming at me from the other side. I couldn't care less about the venomous words and resentment.
This time, even I was frightened into a daze. No wonder Elyse didn't hesitate to send down an incarnation. This secret wouldn't be safe no matter how it was transmitted over.
After a long while, when Elyse finally finished speaking, even though the wind outside was still bone-chilling, cold sweat broke out all over my body.
"What if I didn't realize it? I was almost done for. Looks like my opponent really can't be underestimated. "
While feeling a lingering fear, I also laughed. Schemes and ambushes are only scary when they aren't discovered. Since I know about it, I can deal with it.
"Thank you, Eliza. It's great to have you. I owe you again. I really can't imagine what I would do without you."
"Hmph, it's getting more and more mushy. If you really have the heart, you should stop messing around with girls. "
Even though she said so, from the sweet smile at the corner of her lips, she seemed to be enjoying it.
While we were smiling at each other, even though we couldn't see the mental connection between us, the unscrupulous retainers behind us started discussing softly.
"Suddenly opening his mouth and laughing lewdly … Cohen, do you think that the poison in master hasn't been cleansed? He looks a little love-struck and silly."
"… I heard from the neighbor Brother Cloone that men who hold it in for too long would become a little strange. Looks like Lord Eliza made His Highness lose his composure in happiness."
"As expected, one would become a pervert after holding it in for too long. But from the looks of it, it seems like Princess Renée has no chance of winning."
"That, Senior Kathlyn, Her Highness Renée is behind you. She seems to be very angry."
"Ah ah, Your Highness, I'm sorry. That … You won't cut off our remuneration because of this, will you? I am still waiting to use it to purchase new alchemy tools. That, although the opponent is indeed strong, you still have a chance of winning. At least in some aspects, you are still on the same level … Pfft, I really didn't think of some aspects. Anyway, I will try my best to put in a good word for you in front of Her Highness in the future!"
The acolytes seemed to be in some kind of dispute and it was already a mess. I had to start thinking about serious matters.
"The Revival of the Mist? This is really a huge trap, a huge problem. Looks like I have to hurry up and end this war. Then, the next step is to head to Antoon. "
