Chapter 2023 - 544: There Are Things More Terrifying Than Humans_4

But last night was a bit special. She purely suffered through the night for other reasons, only to find herself with a sore neck from lying on the carpet without hearing the rest of the story.

"Perhaps."

Erin smiled with relief, not thinking much of it, and walked gracefully towards the restaurant filled with the aroma of butter and toast.

"Let's go, let's try the Colin family's breakfast."

Theresa smiled and placed a hand on her chest, nodding slightly.

"Yes, Your Highness."

...

The guests and hosts have separate dining areas, and the two parted ways downstairs in the annex, each heading to different places along the corridor.

Meanwhile, at the corner of the first floor.

Vivian leaned against the cold wall, her small hand clutching her chest, panting heavily as if she had just escaped the dungeon of the Holy City.

She extended her trembling little arm and wiped her forehead of imaginary cold sweat, her scarlet eyes full of terror.

Too frightening.

That woman... could actually smile at her nonchalantly?

What does she want?

Is she trying to drag me along?!

This is such blasphemy!

Vivian's face turned red with frustration, especially when she thought about the likelihood of losing a fight with this woman, her face turned even redder.

Thinking that her beloved was a terrifying existence that charmed both men and women, she could only feel deep despair.

I must tell my brother about this!

But...

How should I say it?

Vivian was stumped.

Just as the eldest daughter of the Colin family was caught in a cycle of hesitation and panic, she unknowingly arrived at the restaurant, lured by the aroma of the dishes.

When she looked up, she was stiffly surprised to find her beloved had arrived ahead of her.

She saw the princess seated elegantly at the table, using a dining knife to spread butter on her toasted pre-meal bread.

Startled, Vivian hiccupped, but to avoid suspicion, she bravely walked over and even took the initiative to greet Erin.

"Um, h-hi..."

Erin tilted her head with confusion, then smiled gracefully and replied to her cute sister's greeting.

"Hello, Miss Vivian, you suddenly ran off earlier, I wondered if I did something to make you uncomfortable?"

"No, no... S-sorry..."

"...?"

Sorry?

Seeing Vivian, who looked like a stuffed mosquito, wobbling to her seat, Erin was even more puzzled but thought little of it, assuming she was just not fully awake.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy.

At the other end of the long table, little Lino was sitting closely next to her "Unicorn," staring intently at the book in his hand, occasionally giving sweet praises and giggling at his blushing face.

With a flushed face, Nanfu held a storybook borrowed from the Thunder City University library, narrating the story of the Campbell family from eight hundred years ago in a clumsy yet gentle voice.

Humans—

They're wonderful!

He wished he could turn those words into a song and sing them out loud.

Back at Demon City, no one ever affirmed him, praised him, or watched him... The seed battered by the storm, lodged in the sewer, was now slowly sprouting under the care of love and acceptance.

Opposite him, the little princes Alfred and Richard exchanged glances.

They keenly sensed something was off with the big sister today.

Usually, by now, Vivian would have been egging them on to switch everyone's milk with pepper juice, yet today she was behaving like a quiet quail?

However... this was good.

Both of them buried their heads in their meals, afraid of breaking the precious peace, and planned to snatch brother Gutaf from Lino after breakfast.

Meanwhile, not far from the brothers, Miss Yaya with pink hair was having a heated conversation with Lady Antonie.

The topic of these "mature" women was, naturally, uniquely mature.

Yaya was sharing the inspiration she had last night.

She wanted to write a new play for Campbell's Northern Relief Army, focusing on the historical connections and current fraternal ties between the Twilight Province and Campbell Duchy!

As for the enemy, naturally, it was Ryan Kingdom's Theoden Devalu!

"...I think this part should be emphasized, like the evil king capturing the female knight, using demonic means to torment her endlessly, and finally, with tear-filled eyes, she looks at the audience below and goes 'pa'... and then..."

Mia's eyes were lit with excitement, even gesturing with her hands.

Lady Antonie, though not versed in drama theory and just an ordinary connoisseur, still felt the script seemed a bit improper.

Seeing Prince Colin entering the restaurant last, she quickly cast a pleading glance at him, involving the true expert in the discussion.

"Colin, you're just in time! Please provide Miss Yaya with some professional insight, I think she has some misconceptions about love..."

Mia: "???"

Questioning the Padric Family's understanding of love; she's never heard such a hilarious thing!

In Demon City, if you casually bring an Enchanting Demon over, they'd undoubtedly declare that Miss Padric is the most knowledgeable Enchanting Demon about love, compared to Melusine, the loser and "fallen cupid" is hardly worth mentioning!

Sitting down without a chance to take a sip of water, Luo Yan was in a bittersweet mix of emotions. He heard Mia's grand discourse, but was really reluctant to engage in the topic.

However, upon seeing the expectant eyes from the two ladies, as a gentleman he could only sigh, offering a tactful reply.
