Adelaide only woke up after the sun had completely set. She had slept for more than half a day without waking up even once because she was so tired.
When she opened her eyes, Lisianthus was gone. He seemed to have gone and dealt with the events in the dungeon on behalf of her, who had fallen into deep sleep.
‘I’m wearing new pajamas.’
Adelaide looked at her state with still drowsy eyes. She must have been naked when she slept in his arms, and there were traces of their love affair, but her body was now clean with no sweat, and she was wearing new, crisp pajamas. She didn’t know when he had changed her clothes.
‘Oh right! Lupin was waiting……!’
Recalling that Lupinus was waiting for her, woke up her senses. She quickly got up, changed into a robe, and ran towards the door leading to the living room.
“Adela!”
And as soon as the door opened, a handsome little boy sprung at her. It was Bell, who seemed to have gotten bigger while she was away.
“Eut!”
“Are you done sleeping now? Right?”
Adelaide hugged him reflexively in surprise, and Bell was looking up at her, his ruby eyes twinkling. Apparently, Lupinus wasn’t the only one waiting for Adelaide.
“Since you’re done sleeping, let’s go for a walk!”
“Bell!”
Pia’s shouting voice could be heard in the distance. It was a very strict tone that was unlike her, who was always kind. Bell frowned irritably, ignoring Pia’s call.
“Okay? Let’s go for a walk. I meeean, we haven’t gone for a while.”
“Okay, got it. Let’s go for a walk.”
Adelaide replied, stroking Bell’s curly hair back and forth. How hungry must this child have been for a walk? Pitiful hearts flashed vividly over her pink pupils.
“Miss Adelaide! You have to eat first. You’ve skipped so many meals.”
Pia approached with a frown that won’t lose to Bell’s, and chided her.
“It’s fine, I’ll go for a walk with Bell then eat.”
“See! Adela says it’s fine!”
Bell quickly hid behind Adelaide and replied with only his head sticking out. The way he raised his chin with all his confidence looked so hateful.
Raham, who was standing nearby, also noticed this and approached. How dare you be mean to our Pia? He glared at Bell with menacing eyes, but unfortunately, this was to no avail as his face was invisible.
Instead, Raham wrapped his arms around his thick arms and advised.
“Adelaide. Just for information, Bell went for two-hour walks this morning, lunch, and dinner with the Skeleton Captain.”
Bell’s body trembled greatly right then. As Adelaide slowly turned her head to look at him, Bell did his best to avoid her gaze, and eventually closed his eyes tight and timidly insisted.
“I haven’t, with Adela in a while…….”
He seemed aware that he was forcing her too as he kept mumbling with his lips. Adelaide smiled because the sullen expression on the boy was so cute. However, her smile faded away at his next words.
“You’ve been playing with Lisianthus all day yesterday. But what in the world did you do? I kept hearing strange noises. Did Lisianthus bully Adela?”
Bell tilted his head curiously. And then silence. Neither Adelaide, Pia nor Raham had an answer, and only her face was red.
‘You said you used soundproofing magic!’
Adelaide rolled her eyes to and fro, looking for Lisianthus. She saw Lisianthus walking down the hallway in the distance. His shoulders flinched, perhaps he had heard the conversation.
‘It seems Bell’s hearing is beyond magic.’
Lisianthus mouthed. He also looked bewildered, so it didn’t seem like a common occurrence. It meant that Bell had gotten stronger.
“Hmm? What did you do? I think I heard some crying.”
When no one answered, Bell kept asking frustratedly, and Adelaide desperately avoided his gaze. Fortunately, he didn’t seem to have heard everything, but she was still embarrassed.
“I need to e-eat. I think I’m going to die of starvation.”
Adelaide slimmed her cheeks as if she was starving as she said so. She didn’t forget to stagger.
“What?! Adela, you can’t die!”
The innocent Bell was deceived by her clumsy acting. He ran to the kitchen saying that she had to eat meat quickly, and Lisianthus left saying he was going to serve food.
“Adelaide, don’t you need healing?”
Pia asked in a somewhat pleased voice. She definitely checked her body yesterday, so why was she asking again? Adelaide thought she was overly concerned, she replied.
“I’m fine. There is no pain.”
“Really? For example, your waist…….”
“Pia! I think I injured my arm, can you go to my room with me?”
Raham interrupted in horror. Sheesh. Pia, who had a short tongue, was dragged away by his hand. Adelaide could only blink at the unknown situation.
“Oh! Where’s Lupin?”
“Lupinus went to bed early today!”
Bell, who was kicked out of the kitchen by Lisianthus, sprinted towards her. “Eat this.” The boy held out the meat he had secretly hidden. It was raw meat dripping with blood.
“Uhm. Our Bell, eat the meat.”
“Why? You said you were hungry!”
“I get full just by watching Bell eat…….”
“Really? Then I’ll eat well!”
Bell smiled brightly and started eating the raw meat. It was quite impressive seeing him tear the meat with his sharp fangs.
‘You already went to bed.’
Adelaide regretfully glanced at Lupin’s bedroom door. Well, it was already late at night so it was understandable. She was impatient to confess her heart to him quickly, but Lupinus had already waited for a long time, so now it was her turn to wait.
Soon Lisianthus prepared a table full of food. Adelaide exclaimed at the sight of all her favorite dishes lined up. I thought I’d have to eat soup again because I starved for a long time! Her eyes sparkled too much and Lisianthus smiled as if he knew they would.
“It’s because the master is not so weak anymore. You won’t get sick from suddenly eating greasy food.”
“Helheim…… is the best……!”
Adelaide was truly happy to have struggled and earned Helheim. She had been irritable when she said that she owned a castle, but she reacted like this only because of the food. Lisianthus had a really fascinating way of understanding his woman’s way of thinking.
Thirty minutes later. Adelaide, who ate all her food like a crab, got up from her seat, tapping her enlarged stomach. It was time for a walk with Bell, who had been waiting for her the whole time.
Bell transformed into a dog and ran through the park waving his tail frantically, while Adelaide, who was holding his leash, was unintentionally dragged by Bell and ran with him. The walk ended after they had sprinted for a while.
When Adelaide returned to the living room, Lisianthus quickly came over with a towel and wiped her sweat. Like an expert, he tapped her face so as not to damage her skin.
“Oh, I’m out of breath. Lisian, can you get me the documents I need to see now?”
Lupinus was asleep anyway so she was determined to take care of the things that had been pushed back. Lisianthus then took some papers straight out of his arms, which goes to show how much he had predicted her.
“Here it is, Master.”
He smiled kindly and handed the documents over. At the same time, he did not forget to meaningfully rub the inside of the hand that reached out to what he handed over.
Vigilance appeared on Adelaide’s face as she suddenly remembered what happened last night. You tormented me so much with that pretty face. Lisianthus knew what she was thinking, but pretended to be clueless and grinned.
The paperwork was neatly organized, as always. Most of the tasks were already handled by Lisianthus, and only a few important ones were waiting for her approval. This, too, would be resolved according to his advice, so Greenville’s power was actually Lisianthus.
“There are certainly a lot of strong demons in Los Halde.”
Adelaide pursed her lips as she looked through the documents that had classified the demons belonging to the Los Halde Dungeon. There weren’t any demons that could be a match for her, but there were quite a few that were too difficult for the demons of Greenville to take care of.
“We don’t have to deal with all of them. All we have to do is attack as fast as we can and catch Uriel. If you use the power of Helheim to show a clear advantage, they’ll accept the outcome.”
“I’m worried that our kids will get hurt in the process as we go in and out.”
“There is no war in which no one is hurt. You have to endure it.”
“That’s true, but……. but I hope everyone gets hurt as little as possible.”
Adelaide muttered with a sullen expression. She also knew that her wishes were overly idealistic. But what could she do? This was her nature.
“……I thought you would, so I prepared something for you.”
“Hmm?”
“Follow me this way.”
Adelaide followed Lisianthus’ footsteps. Seeing that he was heading towards the portal, she wondered if he was heading to the second living space, but then they crossed the second living space and was going to the third living space.
They had walked quite a long way and arrived in front of a door. There was a small creaking sound through the door.
Knock knock. After Lisianthus gracefully knocked, the door opened, revealing a spacious, unfamiliar space for a room. The stone walls were full of strange tools, and in the middle of the room was a large furnace.
Adelaide stared blankly at the molten iron gushing out of the furnace. The squeaking sound that had been audible until recently has now grown loud enough to make the eardrums burst.
“Ah! The owner is here!”
“Long time no see!” The red-haired dwarf greeted her with an excited face. It seemed that this place was the Dwarves’ smithy.
“We were just about to decide what to do with your whip!”
“How much we fought over it! It’s the result of reaching an agreement, so the owner is sure to like it!”
The Dwarves laughed wildly and looked at Adelaide’s whip.
‘What decision?’
Adelaide looked up at Lisianthus with a dismayed expression on her face. He seemed to already know.
“Uhm……. I’ll listen first.”
“Pink! Play the video!”
The red-bearded dwarf shouted at the pink-bearded dwarf.
You mean your name is really Pink……? She bit her lip as she looked at the dwarf’s grim face called Pink. She almost rudely burst out laughing.
“Then! Look, our perfect plan!”
Thanks to everyone’s eyes focusing on the video that just appeared on the stone wall, no one saw the twitching corners of her lips.
Adelaide only woke up after the sun had completely set. She had slept for more than half a day without waking up even once because she was so tired.
When she opened her eyes, Lisianthus was gone. He seemed to have gone and dealt with the events in the dungeon on behalf of her, who had fallen into deep sleep.
