Even after the warnings, the Artina Knights and his subordinates created a chaotic atmosphere. He was certainly up to something, avoiding his gaze.
While the Artina Knights were not under his command, it was a mystery why Marbas, who usually followed orders without complaint, was behaving this way.
‘I should take him down properly one day.’
Today, the child’s mood comes first. He didn’t want to cause a fuss unnecessarily. Agares deliberately ignored it and opened the door to the next room. The sour scent of grapes prickled his nose.
“This is the wine cellar. Of course, not now, but when you grow up. Because you might enjoy wine as an adult.”
He had prepared this room just in case. He didn’t want anything to be lacking.
If his friend wanted to drink wine later, and there was nothing prepared to offer him, there would be nothing more disappointing.
If his friend ever wanted, he wanted to slowly serve each type of wine and help him find his taste.
Filled up to the impossibly high ceiling, the wine rack held rare wines that could not be bought even with money.
“Gasp.”
“Is this heaven?”
The eyes of Alec and Herold, the representative drinkers in the Artina Knights, flared up. They nudged Marbas’s shoulder and slowly walked forward.
“This… No way… Your Oblitus Tony Port?”
“There are only five bottles of this on the continent!”
“Devil. Let’s just have a sip of this. Huh?”
“Didn’t you hear what I just said? I’ll give it to our baby when he grows up.”
“No. Our little lady won’t like wine. I know. Wine is bitter and dry. Our little lady likes sweet things. Let’s have a sip ahead of time, since she won’t drink it anyway. Just one sip! Don’t save it until it goes bad!”
Alec grabbed Agares’s sleeve tightly. Agares shrugged off his arm with disgust.
“Don’t cling.”
“Ah brother!”
“That’s right! You’ve always been our older brother since the day you saved our baby! Brother!”
A dark violet magic flickered, representing his displeased mood. It seemed like he would shake off the hands of Herold and Alec touching his body at any moment.
On the other hand, Herold and Alec vividly remembered the fact that the magic Agares had cast before had demolished one side of the wall of the Artina Duke’s mansion.
“Sorry.”
“We’ve let go.”
Knowing their fawning was in vain, the two knights turned to Evelia for mercy.
“Little lady. When you grow up and open this cellar, you must invite us.”
“It can’t be helped to leave you alone with the devil to drink wine. I’m not saying this out of greed.”
There was a definite passage among the knight’s code that said ‘despise those who are fascinated by drinking and dancing’. Considering how much they were fascinated, it seemed our knights had swallowed the knight’s code whole.
Evelia gently shook her head and locked the door to the wine cellar. Even if it was opened again, there was no intention to call those two.
‘I’ve known since the snake liquor.’
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]If the second floor was filled with various rooms depending on their use, the third floor was all Evelia’s personal rooms.
“This is your room.”
“That’s also your room.”
“Oh. And here too.”
“Why do I have so many rooms?”
Evelia asked in astonishment, but the response was concise.
“The themes are different, so choose according to your mood.”
“…..”
“What? Is something lacking? Do you want me to add a few more rooms?”
“….Please don’t.”
Am I visiting my friend’s house, or have I unknowingly fallen asleep and entered a dream?
Each room exceeded her imagination and her sense of reality was drastically reduced. Evelia wandered around like this for a long time.
She unknowingly muttered her stream of consciousness, but she didn’t have time to care about it.
“I thought my rabbit friend was a pauper.”
“Me too. I thought he was a pauper because he was always idle at the secret base.”
Enlil fluttered around following her, replying,
“Louine’s house is much prettier. There’s no one to bother us. There is a devil.”
“I’ll build a pretty house too and gift it to my sister.”
When she ran into Marbas while wandering aimlessly, she also blurted out an impolite observation without realizing it.
“Eh, the devil’s grasscolored hair is weird!”
“Look at that!”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The mansion was equipped with a spacious training ground. It was built for a young friend who, while not yet showing great talent in swordsmanship, was full of ambition.
The path leading to the training ground. Enlil fluttered and perched on the shoulder of Arital.
“Hey. Demon.”
“Stop waving your tail. It’s annoying.”
The rapidly moving tail suddenly stopped. Enlil nudged Arital’s cheek with his fluffy paws.
“Demon. Demon.”
“Speak. What.”
“How did you become rich?”
The young dragon’s eyes sparkled in admiration of capitalism. Arital laughed lightly.
“Why do you ask?”
“My sister laughed a lot today. I want to build a mansion and give it as a gift.”
“I’m satisfied with my mansion. You should give something different.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
