Chapter 271: Learning to Like
“...” Adele’s expression was a bit strange. However, Celeste and Wofoo seemed relieved. Because when Kaiser said she wanted to stay with Adele to learn what “liking” was, it meant she had dropped her hostility towards them. They had inadvertently resolved the huge crisis this woman had presented.
But from another perspective, a different kind of crisis seemed to have emerged. Celeste glanced at Wofoo, then at Kaiser, who was staring intently at Adele. She thought... Master’s romantic luck was really flourishing. Although one was intentional, and the other, unintentional.
“Suit yourself, just don’t cause trouble.”
“I’ll pretend you don’t exist and continue doing my own thing, which will fulfill your wish to know what ‘liking’ is.”
“But we’ll share our camping food with you, don’t worry about that.”
Adele compromised.
Kaiser nodded. She approved of Adele’s approach and didn’t want her presence to bother the other girls or make them act unnaturally. Perhaps what she needed was a normal atmosphere. Not like the family she grew up in. The True Ancestor ignored her, instead treating that little girl in a fancy dress (Dorothy) as a honored guest. And the True Ancestor’s actions undoubtedly influenced the thoughts of those below him. The True Ancestor didn’t care about Kaiser, his direct descendant. So, no one cared about Kaiser, no one cared about her feelings. How could a descendant compare to the True Ancestor who had ruled the family for millennia?
Fortunately, Kaiser was naturally insensitive and wasn’t that sad about it—but that didn’t mean the “sadness” didn’t exist. Maybe, maybe she really was jealous of Dorothy. That’s why she chose to challenge her, to attract the attention of others in the family. To attract the True Ancestor’s attention...
Unfortunately, she failed. She had never beaten Dorothy. Later, the little girl gradually grew into a young woman. She met more people, Bloodkin of the same age, classmates. The family was no longer Kaiser’s everything, and her challenges to Dorothy might no longer be solely due to jealousy. It was more about the desire to win.
More importantly, she tasted the wonderful feeling of being strong. The flattery and fawning of those around her, their attentiveness and care. Those things Kaiser originally lacked, all came flooding towards her during this period, allowing her to ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) fully experience the feeling of satisfaction. She realized that to keep these, or to get more, she had to continue challenging Dorothy, and even defeat her.
