After eating another insanely spicy grilled fish, Schonard had no energy to spare for the young mistress of the city lord's castle. He gasped for air as he began to doubt his life, and at the same time, he began to worry about whether he would be able to get out of bed the next day.
"It's super spicy, it's so delicious! It's so delicious! " Vivian also came out around the same time. She fanned her mouth with excitement and satisfaction on her face. She was extremely satisfied to have eaten an entire medium spicy grilled fish.
"I'm definitely going to invite Luna over for a meal in a couple of days. She's been so busy lately, so there's no way she'll have time to come over for a meal. Even if she does come, she definitely won't order such an expensive grilled fish." Vivian looked back at the restaurant before leaving with an elated expression.
"I don't know what the owner put in the fish, but with so many people around, there's no way he's going to admit it. However, this grilled fish really is delicious. I didn't know that food cooked by humans could really be this delicious. Father wasn't lying when he told me all those years ago." Y'lisabet walked out of the room with a complex expression on her face. Her face was flushed red, and before she knew it, she had already finished the entire grilled fish.
Even though her body still reacted a little violently during the process, she was now prepared, so she didn't end up in any awkward situations.
"This fish is imbued with powerful fire-attribute energy and is extremely invasive, but it's not harmful to my body. Instead, it feels like it's unblocking my bloodline. Also … I'm sweating?" Elizabeth stroked a finger over her forehead, and a bead of sweat appeared on her palm. A hint of surprise appeared on her face.
As a Frost Dragon, she had almost never sweated in her entire life. Even in battle, she was rarely able to sweat to her heart's content.
But today, in a restaurant owned by humans, she was actually sweating because of a grilled fish. It was really a special experience.
"Looks like I'll have to wait here for a while longer." Elizabeth turned around to look at Yabemiya, who was busy serving the dishes. She had been observing Yabemiya for quite some time during the meal, but she still couldn't tell if Yabemiya was a hybrid of a dragon and a human. The easiest way to find out was to ask her directly. She wasn't used to wasting too much time on an unrelated person.
"Mr. Mak, the Delicious Cuisine Rankings will be released tomorrow. Is Mamy's really not going to make it onto the rankings?" a customer asked Meg regretfully as the door was closing.
"This matter is not within my control. Perhaps there will be a miracle." Meg shook his head with a smile. In reality, he had already given up all hope. No matter what happened to the Catering Association, no one would care if a restaurant that had only been open for a month made it onto the rankings.
"Boss, Xiaomi, see you tomorrow." Yabemiya and Sally bid farewell to Meg and the others and left.
"Huh? Who's that?" Yabemiya and Sally had only just left when they noticed Elizabeth standing not far away from the entrance of the restaurant. She was wearing a long dress made of ice, and her back was facing the restaurant as she looked up at the sky. She seemed to be thinking about something, and her side profile was still so beautiful under the moonlight that it was impossible for anyone to look away.
"I have a few questions for you." Y'lisabet turned around when she heard the voice, and looked at Yabemiya with an irresistible tone in her voice.
"She has the right to choose whether to answer or not." Sally stepped forward and looked at Elizabeth with a calm expression.
Elizabeth looked at Sally with a grave expression. Even though she was only a waitress in this restaurant, she couldn't deny that she could sense a hint of threat from Sally. "I don't think she'll refuse," she said with a serious expression.
"If you have anything you want to ask me, go ahead. If I know the answer, I'll definitely tell you." Yabemiya also took a step forward and looked at Elizabeth with a hint of panic and anticipation on her face.
She had looked forward to interacting with dragons countless times in the past, imagining that her father would appear before her or send someone to find her.
Although she had just transformed into a Iceblast Wyrm, and had basically cut off the idea that she was of the same race as Y 'lisabet, she could still feel a sense of belonging to the dragon race by talking to her a little more.
Sally took a glance at Yabemiya and didn't say anything, but she still stood beside her.
"I want to know what kind of dragon your father is." Elizabeth looked at Yabemiya with a cold expression, but there was still a hint of anticipation and nervousness in her eyes.
"I …" Yabemiya opened her mouth, but her voice was suddenly stuck in her throat. After a long while, she cast her eyes down, and shook her head in a dejected manner as she said, "I don't know what kind of dragon my father is; I've never even seen him once."
"You've never met him?" Elizabeth's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but take a step forward. "Then what about your mother? Did she know what kind of dragon he was? Or did she have any special characteristics? "
"My mother passed away five years ago. She … didn't know what kind of dragon he was until he left." Yabemiya's expression became even more dejected as she shook her head.
Sally looked at Yabemiya with a hint of heartache in her eyes. She then turned to Elizabeth with a peculiar look in her eyes. What was this woman trying to do? Could it have something to do with Mia's identity?
Elizabeth looked at Yabemiya's dejected expression. Yabemiya's thin and frail body seemed to have endured countless grievances and heartache. Her heart suddenly tightened, as if she saw another version of herself in Yabemiya. When the whole world collapsed, she was the only one who held on. After a moment of silence, she said, "I'm sorry."
"It's alright, that's all in the past. I'm doing very well now. I don't think there's anything unfair in life. At least I met Mr. Mak, Xiao Mi, Aisha, and so many kind guests." Yabemiya raised her head, and a smile reappeared on her face. She was brimming with energy, and all of her sadness and dejection had been swept away.
Elizabeth faltered slightly at the sight of the smile on Yabemiya's face. There was no reluctance in that smile, nor was there any hidden sadness or gloom. Instead, it was filled with longing and anticipation for life, as if there was nothing to be sad about.
What kind of person was she to be able to let go of all of her painful experiences so easily? She was truly a person that made one's heart ache for her.
