Chapter 300: As You Promised Last Month
"Royal father, that"s the Lavely Pizza we talked about the other day. That food business belongs to Miss Elysia, Princess Evelyn, and the Holy Princess Gabriella is warmly welcomed by the public. I wonder when Lavely Pizza will open in our kingdom." Ronan glanced out of the window, staring at the fancy signboard that seemed to grow farther and farther away.
"It will be soon. A booming business will be wasted if it doesn"t open branches. Well, let"s visit them later. I also became a little curious after hearing Holy Grandfather"s comment some days ago." Elliott folded his arms across his chest.
"Oh my, Ronan, do you want to meet the princesses in question? Ah, my baby boy has finally grown up and started thinking about girls? What type of girl do you adore? Tell your mother a little." Annabel put her hand together and pressed it against her cheek.
"Uhh, please don"t call me by that nickname, royal mother. I"ve become an Intermediate-level knight. Also, please don"t link the girl I happen to be talking about with my love interest. I feel like I"m too young for that relationship." Ronan looked away with a hint of embarra.s.sment.
"Um, no pressure. However, if there"s a girl you think suits you and our Evans Royal Family, make sure to tell us, okay? Or, I"ll find a perfect fiance for you." Annabel wiggled her hand with a soft smile.
"Anna, let our son make his choice based on his heart and path. A man must have formidable strength and hone his talents during the golden age. Take me as an example. I got gold when looking for cooper when I was around 200 years old. Everything will come at the right time." Elliott explained that proudly.
"Oh my, that joke again, dear, fufu... Somehow, I never get tired of hearing it even though I have heard the same thing for 50 years." Annabel chuckled with courtesy as she covered her mouth slightly with her hand.
Ronan just rolled his eyes when he saw his parents start exchanging sweet words of affection. Nevertheless, he did not take his royal mother"s small threats about a fiance seriously. He knew his royal mother was also just joking without any pressure on him.
He was still in his fifties, too young to think about a soul mate seriously. At that time, he thought of Prince Theo, who had more or less the same principles as himself, then Prince Raylee. Maybe, he would have a good time with them later.
Emperor Elliott entourage went straight to Aeddoterra Imperial Palace. For a show of power and so on, Emperor Raphael was not in the same group as him.
They did depart together from Cuttexus City, but they parted ways when they almost arrived at Aeddoterra City.
Nachezan Kingdom"s entourage was present at the east city gate. Emperor Raphael and his elite squad gathered with them to go together.
As for the entourage from the west gate, there was little epiphany as the Xeafinata Kingdom was temporarily governed by the Holy Church, albeit with a.s.sistance from four other regions... The Holy Church"s group came with a joint squad from all the kingdoms" experts.
As everyone knows, no one dared to ascend the throne even though the previous Emperor had disappeared as if he had been swallowed up by the earth. Even anyone from the Walsh Royal Family could be found.
Therefore, Xeafinata Kingdom"s throne seat was still empty because only the desperate person would dare to ascend the throne to accept Dylan"s wrath and endless trouble.
When the guests of honor arrived, Elysia and the others simply ate their breakfast in peace and comfort. The G.o.ddess of Blessings, who was eating food, became an eye-freshener spectacle. A slice of pizza had about the size of the G.o.ddess herself.
"Such a small body, but your appet.i.te is quite powerful, little one. Where did everything you eat go?" Elena once again gave another meal to the little G.o.ddess.
The question represented a few curious people, except for a white cat. Vanessa believed that the G.o.ddess of Blessings had an actual ma.s.sive form behind that tiny body, very much like her. That way, she could solve the questions that had come to her mind.
"Hum? I am a G.o.ddess, and it"s because of my divine body. Please don"t use mortal common sense on a divine-human like me. Yum-yum, the G.o.ddess of Light, why don"t you eat and drink? Even though it"s mortal food, it"s really delicious. Aren"t these dishes with recipes from your precious disciple too?" Nell was curious and gave a pause before continuing to eat the food that was given to her.
Elena was silent for a moment as she looked at the little G.o.ddess at the table with some thoughts. It wasn"t that she didn"t want to eat and drink, but she had her own worries.
It was true that she didn"t need to replenish her nutrients in that way, and she wouldn"t feel hungry either. But, she was still a spirit nonetheless.
The worry came because her digestive system wasn"t for digesting anything. So, if she ate something, then she could just burn it all off after pa.s.sing through her esophagus.
Apart from that, she even had to make a fake heartbeat and pretend to be breathing to avoid suspicion. It was so troublesome to live with a body, albeit from magic. She preferred her spirit form the most.
"Mm, it"s because of my divinity and my divine body? I don"t need to eat and drink." Elena rested her cheek against her hand gracefully.
"Well, it"s your loss to leave worldly pleasures like pampering the tongue with the charm of the culinary world. Oh, I remember, I haven"t consumed anything in the last tens of thousands of years. Ugh, my poor little tummy." Nell stroked her tummy with an expression of sorrow, albeit lasting no more than a second.
She also could live without eating or drinking. Because of that, she didn"t try to convince anything if the decision had been stated.
The conversation between the two G.o.ddesses once again brought shock to the few people who just found out. Divine beings did have a different mindset and anxieties than mortals like them...
A few minutes later, they were finally done with their breakfast. Nell became the most greedy and ate most of the dishes.
"Hum, we need some private time for a few things. Allow us to go away for a moment." Nell announced after she wiped her mouth with a tissue.
Then, she gave a cue and flew away from the table to a nearby room. "The G.o.ddess of Light, come on."
"All right, let us excuse ourselves for a few private moments. Elysia, I"m borrowing that room." Elena got up from her seat with a tender smile, then followed the little G.o.ddess after received a response from Elysia.
Elena opened the door, and Nell went in first. Then, the former closed the door slowly, silently and immediately put up a layered high-level barrier to guarantee one thing.
Nell had no chance to run from the interrogation room before all the vital information was squeezed out. She wouldn"t even be able to ask for help.
"Hum-hm, you"ve put up an amazing layered barrier. I"m sure our conversation will be safe here." Nell looked around with her magic vision, then she turned to the golden-haired girl in a casual white dress. "Nee, Elena- Uh, I mean, grandG.o.dmaster, I-"
Unfortunately, Nell failed to continue her words because she was surprised at what Elena was holding.
"Eh? Why did you create that golden magic threads? You- You won"t really be doing anything like yesterday, right? Let"s have a good talk, okay? I just wanted to convey some important things and requests." Nell flew back slowly, but Elena kept following her.
"What a coincidence, I also want to know some details from you as you promised last month. Oh, I also want to ask you a lot of things. Relax, I won"t tie you up if you become a good girl. Let"s have a pleasant conversation for the next few minutes~" Elena had an enthusiastic smile plastered on her face.
Even though that sounded rea.s.suring, Nell got a little scared when she looked at Elena"s inexplicable smile. "Uh, uh, we"ll just talk, right? Please be kind. Allow me to--"
After that, Elena spent some quality time with Nell for various interrogation activities. The latter inevitably just blurted out almost everything she knew based on the topic raised by the former.
As it was all going on, Ella and Evelyn took a few glances at the guest room as if to confirm something, then they turned to Elysia.
"Ely, your master, the G.o.ddess of Light, is very gentle and amicable. I thought that your master was... Well, let"s leave that unsaid." Evelyn didn"t dare to say anything unG.o.dly to a divine being.
"Nee, Ely... Do you know the relationship between your master and the G.o.ddess of Blessings? Forgive me for being presumptuous. Please don"t answer me if I cross my limits." Ella ventured to ask, even though there was fear to say that to her friend. She needed the answer for one complex reason.
Questions were asked, and the other four people just kept quiet and listened. They just followed the flow because they didn"t have any position and the right to ask any questions related to G.o.ddesses to Elysia.
"Yes, Eve, I know that very well. G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses are still existence with feelings and emotions. They won"t behave lofty and divine all the time." Elysia responded with an approving nod to Evelyn.
Then she got a little puzzled by Ella because she just realized something about this girl. "Ella, why do you look confused and seem lost? May I know the reason first?"
