Chapter 227: On your reputation
Venus received a letter from Alora, explaining her inability to attend training due to the overwhelming amount of work Prince Magnus had been assigned since morning. She neatly folded the letter and tucked it away in a drawer.
Descending the stairs, she was surprised to find Odin comfortably seated in the living room, sipping on a beverage. "What brings you here!?" Venus demanded, her tone laced with irritation.
"Oh, you’re finally awake, lazy cat!" Odin retorted, setting down his cup. "I moved into this house this morning, following Prince Magnus’s orders," he clarified. "Your parents are out, so you’re stuck with me until evening," he added, a smirk playing on his lips.
"My lady, would you like me to serve lunch in your room?" the head maid inquired.
"I’ve suddenly lost my appetite, thanks to a certain individual," Venus responded, her annoyance palpable. She then turned on her heel, intending to retreat to her room.
"So, you plan to starve yourself until you fall ill," Odin remarked, "How much more pain do you wish to give to your family?" he asked.
The head maid was taken aback by the audacity of Odin’s conversation with Venus.
Venus swiveled around to face Odin, whose face was adorned with a taunting smirk.
"Miss Venus, Lady Serena has arrived to see you," a servant announced after rushing into the living room. Serena was a dear friend of Venus who had been away from the capital for several days. Venus’s face brightened at the news of Serena’s return, and she decided to welcome her friend personally.
