Chapter 304: Something Happened on the Beast Continent?
Hearing that, Elena sat on Elysia"s right side with a curious gaze. However, she did not speak up in the matter, only listening in peace.
"Wha- What happened to them?" Vanessa immediately turned to the G.o.ddess of Blessings with great panic and worry.
Only one forest on the Beast Continent with a shape like a cat, tiger"s paw, and she had a hunch that the two brown winged tigers in question were her uncle and aunt. Although there were no direct blood ties, they were a family to her.
Nell tried to remember something for a second, then looked back at the white cat with some thoughts. She believed the white-winged tiger in question was Vanessa. "They were forcibly picked up by the Pyrogressive Lion Clan and Winged Tiger Clan to the heart of the continent. I had heard that the imperial troops came looking for white and then black-winged tigers. I was just wondering."
"Why were they forcibly picked up by that hateful lion and those traitorous winged tigers? I know the winged tigers you mentioned, and they are no longer tied to the Beast Kingdom. But, why..." Vanessa grew even more anxious.
Her uncle and aunt were her father"s hidden experts. They were the ones who helped her and her brother escape from Brisline Woodland.
Uncle Theo and Aunt Leila had to disguise themselves, but did they get caught after all these years? Why did the imperial troops seek her and her brother also? What did that hateful fire lion want? It was already 11 years since that incident. Were they going to-
Vanessa had many thoughts at the same time.
"I understand... Looks like you have a complicated story, little tiger. You can tell it later when you are sure. However, please remember, you have a great master with two G.o.ddesses behind her." Nell immediately ended the conversation out of consideration for the little tiger.
Her guess was correct, and she wanted to know what was going on in the Beast Continent. She was aware of the coup d"etat triggered by a lion of Regulus descent and others lion clans. However, she had no idea who the previous Beast Emperor was.
The truce held by the Human Race and the Beast Race 10 years ago was only attended by the Pyrogressive Lion Clan, the clan of Beast Continent"s current ruler, after all.
It was unfortunate. Nell had minimal connections in the Beast Continent. Her knowledge was so minimal for continents other than Human Continent and Devil Continent. During her month-long exploration, she did not pay more attention to there due to the Beast G.o.d"s unfriendly treatment.
Vanessa just nodded with many thoughts and curled up on her master"s lap again. "Master..."
Elysia was aware of the many thoughts on her contracted beast"s mind. She stroked the cat gently before softly replied. "You can tell me about that after you"re sure, Vann. I"m sure your uncle and aunt will be fine."
After saying that, Elysia decided to tell Vanessa now about her upcoming plans. "I, my master, and the G.o.ddess of Blessings will head to Fairy Continent tomorrow, Vann. We will help a G.o.ddess who is there. After that, we will make some deals with the Evil G.o.d, and next, we will go to the Beast Continent. Let"s find out together at that time. If you trust me, you can tell me more about you, Vann. You are not alone, and I will help you."
"En, thank you, master. Please allow me to organize my thoughts first. I will tell you everything about me, master." Vanessa had deep grat.i.tude when she heard her master"s conviction.
In retrospect, she hadn"t told her master much about herself, whereas her master had already shared several stories. She was not a good contracted beast.
"Okay, don"t burden your mind with so many things. Take your time, Vann, my good girl, good tiger." Elysia stroked Vanessa on the head.
She realized her contracted beast"s worries, and she also had suspicions. Was Vanessa from the aristocratic clan? However, she put it all aside until Vanessa informed her later.
When Vanessa closed her eyes, Maximilian and Ariel just stared at the cat in confusion.
Even so, no one raised the matter because the topic had been closed by the G.o.ddess of Blessings.
At the same time, Ayla entered the living room with courtesy. She was carrying a relatively thick file.
"Excuse me, sorry to disturb your time. Miss Elysia, this is the data you requested. All information regarding business potential in all cities on our continent is there." Ayla gave the report to Elysia with respect. It was the result of the Holy Church"s intel.
"Ah, thank you, Ayla. I will examine this closely later. Soon, we will be even busier after opening branches in various cities... I look forward to your impressive performance." Elysia received the file binder, which was quite heavy. Well, that was expected because of the large number of doc.u.ments in it.
"I"m at your service, Miss Elysia. Ah, you"re wearing a pretty dress. Are you going to any place or party?" Ayla put her hand on her upper chest, then gave a little pleasantry.
"Yes, we will go to the Imperial Palace in a moment. Grandpa has sent his carriage for us since a few hours ago." Elysia nodded innocently and put the report in her s.p.a.ce Bag.
"I see... Then, I need to excuse myself." Ayla gave a slight bow of courtesy, but she immediately remembered something. "Uhm, Miss Elysia, there is a customer on the third floor who ordered a large meal, and he is still there since morning. He said that he wanted to meet the owner of Lavely Pizza to convey his appreciation."
"Oh my, what a loyal customer and pizza lover. Very well, we"ll see him before we leave." Elysia covered her mouth with elegance.
She didn"t expect there was a customer who kept on eating pizza from morning until almost noon. How infatuated was that customer with pizza?
"The person who wants to meet you is currently in private room 1 on the third floor. He conveyed his intentions to me in person an hour ago. Then, I excuse myself." After saying that, Ayla walked out of the room.
"Your business is warmly welcomed by the public, Miss Elysia. Everyone love pizza. I even had time to hear about Lavely Pizza even though I was in another region." Ariel smiled softly in giving her compliment.
"Thank you, Miss Ariel. Are you interested in working at Lavely Pizza to help us?" Elysia responded confidently.
For some inexplicable reason, she offered that under consideration... This Saint-level holy knight lady would remain around Ella for an undetermined time.
"Let me think about it." Ariel didn"t reduce her smile. She thought it was just a joke or lip service.
"Okay, take your time, and please let me know later." Elysia gave an open palm hand gesture with a charming smile.
Shortly afterward, Evelyn, Ella, Rosie, and Fran finished changing their clothes. The girls wore beautiful but formal dresses, while Fran was wearing an aristocratic suit.
"Nee, how do I look?" Evelyn turned once in front of everyone, and her green combination white dress was flicked at it.
"You"re alluringly beautiful, Eve. Hmm, a high ponytail or a crown braid would look great on your current dress." Elysia was the first to give the compliment, among others.
"Ah, Ella had that suggestion earlier too. I thought a loose hairstyle like this would look great." Evelyn glanced at Ella"s braid bun hairstyle and golden yellow dress. Ella was confident in that style of dress.
"Come here. I"ll help you do your hair, Eve. Give me a minute." Elysia smiled faintly and patted the sofa on her left.
Knowing the offer, Evelyn came over and sat there like a kind, obedient girl.
"Then, excuse me." Elysia asked permission and received a nod from Evelyn. After that, Elysia immediately styled Evelyn"s hair in a high ponytail with a ribbon hair tie.
Elena observed that and gave an approving nod. It was something she taught Elysia, and she was glad it was so helpful.
Meanwhile, Rosie checked her hairstyle and black, blue dress. She was looking great, but somehow she wanted to change her hairstyle because of Evelyn. Unfortunately, she didn"t dare to ask because the two G.o.ddesses were beside Elysia.
"All right, it"s complete. Now, what do you think? Golden yellow blonde hair in a high ponytail looks great with your light green dress. Hum, it"s a perfect match now." Elysia picked up a mirror and showed it to Evelyn.
Evelyn saw her reflection for a moment. The dress she wore was meant to match her eye color, but she got a different vibe than her previous hairstyle. She received a more graceful and elegant impression, then she also looked a little more mature.
"Impressive, charming, and stunning... Thank you, Ely. It"s hard for me to explain, but I"m delighted." Evelyn took her best friend"s hand with her sparkling eyes and bright smile.
"Haha, I"m glad to hear that, Eve. Oh right, there is a pizza-loving customer who is expecting us. He wants to convey his appreciation. You know, the customer in question has been there since this morning with a lot of orders. I don"t know what to say if he has eaten pizza until he is bloated and stuffed." Elysia lightly chuckled as she told her friends.
"Oh my, then let"s head over there before we go. We also need to advise this customer not to overeat again." Ella covered her mouth with a light chuckle.
"En, something excessive is not good. Pizza is delicious, but if he is addicted until his stomach bloated, then it will be dangerous for his health." Evelyn nodded in agreement.
"All right, then let"s go." Elysia stood up from the sofa with Vanessa in her arms.
Then, she invited the G.o.ddesses and the others. After that, they went from there towards the third floor.
