The Demon Lord's Bride (BL)

Thankfully, the conversation shifted back to the adventure I had inside the ruin. Hearing me using unconventional methods like a hidden tunnel and such seemed to fascinate them. Natha was frowning at first, but he soon fell to the nostalgia--after all, he used to be roaming around ruins himself.

Hey--even Shwa’s seed came from the ruin!

Also, they praised me when I told them about how we proceeded by avoiding traps and sending back the beasts, making it seem like we were never there. The twins were especially happy about the fake relic I put there, laughing and clapping their hands so much I could finally see how they were twins.

"Malta, free up my schedule," Natha said at the end of breakfast.

"I already did so once I heard Young Master had arrived."

I gasped and clapped my hands. It wasn’t even working hours yet, and she already worked hard. "As expected of our big sister!"

Mata graciously made a curtsy, and I could see her subtle smile. Lesta, however, was not impressed.

"Why are you clapping for her, Young Master?" he pursed his lips. "You should be cheering me on because I’m going to be the one suffering."

I chuckled and patted his shoulder while pouring in a rejuvenation spell. Well, I couldn’t help feeling guilty because I was the one who asked Natha to take a day off all of a sudden. "I’ll give you a boost, Lesta."

"Do you want cocoa jelly, Lesta?" Jade also came with a small plate of cocoa jelly he got as a reward from Natha.

Wow, so generous. As I thought, Lesta was his favorite.
