207. The Unstoppable Empress Mazu
I blinked at the breakfast table.
Sylvia, Vivian, and Tia were already gathered at the table. Tia set the last plate down on the table.
“Hey, Tia, is this eel?”
“Yes, of course. It’s an eel! Eat a lot. Ethan!”
“Then what about this?”
“It’s fried eel.”
I blinked again. There were six types of eel food. Besides that, there were bits of grass mixed with garlic and fried eggs.
“Then what about this?”
“It’s seasoned with mandrake.”
“uh… . uh… , I see.”
Unlike the mandrake I saw at Logness Class the other day, I didn’t recognize this because it was unsalted.
“It is a very fancy table.”
“Vivian is good at cooking. He helped me a lot.”
There are six people, but it seemed that a total of 10 servings were prepared.
Above all, it was all good food for men. If it was winter, would they have said that oysters were in season?
For some reason, I felt a sense of unspoken pressure. Isn’t it an expression to use in such a situation that there is a lot of luck.
“Okay, I’ll eat well… .”
“why? Ethan? You don’t really hate eels, do you?”
“Oh no! I really like it. eel.”
I hurriedly answered Tia’s question. No matter how much it was, the breakfast table was set, but you couldn’t say anything to it.
To be honest, I liked eels quite a bit. because it’s delicious
“Hey, Dana… .”
“Yeah, why? Sylvie.”
“Oh, nothing.”
Sylvia blushed slightly and turned her head away. But that alone seemed to know what he wanted to say.
Sometimes I couldn’t say that I wanted to hug you one more time in bed, so I used to express it that way.
So, he asked me to remember that he was the last. Simply put, it also meant to save some energy.
“don’t worry. Sylvie. Because I haven’t forgotten.”
At my words, Sylvia smiled slightly. Then breakfast followed. Tia and Vivian prepared breakfast, so I have to cook dinner.
“Ethan, I’ll pack the wraps for you. iced coffee-! ”
Sepia wrapped a bunch of mandrake and eel in a lettuce and handed it to me. I was so happy I had tears in my eyes.
After dinner, we headed to the sea.
Today, Irpis Island was dazzlingly beautiful. Even the blue sea and palm trees swaying in the wind were like a paradise on earth.
“Does Ethan go swimming?”
“What, just like that?”
“Edaan! Then shall we compete?”
Somehow, the atmosphere was drifting towards swimming together. Sylvia headed to the sunbed under the parasol.
“Hmm, hmm, I should get some rest.”
“I should get some rest too.”
Tia also laid down on the sunbed leisurely along with Sylvia. Seeing Tia like that, Sepia grinned.
“Huh? Tia, you don’t know how to swim, can you?”
“… … ”
“Can’t Sylvia also know how to swim?”
A moment of silence followed.
Feeling embarrassed, Sylvia turned her gaze to the sea for no reason. Sepia nodded as if she understood everything.
“Okay, I understand. You may not be able to swim.”
“Sephia, I know how to swim too. You just have to stir your arms and legs in the water.”
“That’s dog paddle.”
“Dog paddle is also swimming! and… , Even if you can’t swim, there’s no problem in living.”
As expected, elves are more friendly with the forest than the sea.
Even so, it was surprising that Sylvie couldn’t swim. He’s good at swordsmanship and most sports, so I thought he’d be good at swimming too… .
Well, Lynchester is also inland, with no ties to the sea.
Although the hot springs are famous, swimming in the hot springs is a bit daunting.
“Tia, swimming is a culture. If Ethan fell into the water, Tia and you are the only ones around. Then who will save Ethan?”
I bit my lower lip to hold back laughter at that question. Tia was furious at Sepia’s logic.
“Why is Ethan suddenly drowning?”
“It is a home. home. for example. So, what will you do if Ethan falls into the water?”
“You can ask Undine to save Ethan. No, before that, Ethan knows how to swim… .”
As expected, it was a wise answer like Tia.
If you don’t know how to swim, you can summon the water spirit like a spirit sergeant.
“But you didn’t have any magic power left. Then what are you going to do?”
“sepia. Stop asking weird questions. Would you do that childishly? Seriously, if you fall into the water, only your mouth and chest will float.”
“okay. okay. Don’t be angry.”
Sepia shrugged. It seemed like that was enough to make fun of Tia.
“By the way, Sepia never knew how to swim, didn’t she?”
“Hehe, I recently learned from Vivian to go swimming with Ethan in the summer!”
I see.
I shifted my gaze to Tesha. Vivian, like an all-around maid, is naturally good at swimming, and Sepia recently learned to swim from Vivian, but when did Tesha learn?
“I mean… . I did learn as a member of the Imperial School.”
“Sooyoung is also going to study royal studies?”
“Strictly speaking, there is time to learn to swim in naval battles.”
He said that he learned to swim by assuming that he would fall into the water in a naval battle.
I heard that Tesha received an early education in various studies besides swimming as a royal study.
Philosophy, history, theology, magic, swordsmanship, horseback riding, warfare, etiquette, alchemy, etc.
As expected, the princess has been taking elite courses since childhood and learning various studies. It was briefly mentioned in the novel, but I didn’t know that I was learning so many different disciplines.
“Wow, that’s great. Tesha… ”.
I was genuinely amazed. It’s royal science. Suddenly, Tesha looked great.
“But I think even Sepia learned this much?”
At those words, Sepia folded her fingers one by one.
“I think I also learned about swordsmanship, strategy, etiquette, tea ceremony, magic, theology, history, and alchemy.”
Vivian also shared what she had learned.
“I also learned cleaning, laundry, dishwashing, baking, cooking, etiquette, tea ceremony, magic, strategy, basic swordsmanship, and history. It is a required course for maid academies.”
What kind of maid academy is teaching magic and strategy?
“Edaan, let’s swim anyway.”
Sepia grabbed my hand.
* * *
Maybe it’s because I’ve been swimming and running around all day.
Everyone seemed tired. Sepia, who said she was confident in her physical strength, let out a long yawn.
“I am sleepy… . I should go to sleep Good night to Vivian, Tia, Tesha and Sylvia unnie… ! Ethan too!”
Sepia smiled and headed for the bedroom. Sepia entered the bedroom early, creating an overall bedtime atmosphere.
“Ethan oppa— good night.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow. Danah. Have a nice dream.”
“See you all tomorrow. I haven’t even been swimming and I’m tired.”
Tia gave me a wink at Tesha. Eventually, only Tesya and I were left in the restaurant.
Tesha glanced in my direction.
“Shall we go in too?”
“Ah, yes!”
Soon I headed to Tesha’s bedroom. Sitting side by side on the bed, Tesha was still looking at me. I laughed because it was cute.
“Why are you staring at me like that? Tesha.”
“no. just that… .”
Tesha noticed that she wanted a lot. Even without saying it, I knew roughly what our Empress Mazu wanted.
Still, I needed to figure out what I wanted. I’m not a sadist… . I wonder if Tesha could act as she wants.
The role play I played with Vivien once was quite fun.
“I… , Ethan… . Do you remember the promise we made last time?”
The promise you made last time?
As I slowly rewinded my memory, I remembered what my promise to Tesha was. Then, when we met again, I asked for a rough hug.
After all, is it SM play?
I was reluctant because I wasn’t a pervert who takes pleasure in hurting someone, but if Tesha wanted that… .
“Yes, of course I remember!”
“Does Ethan really do everything he wants?”
“Can you match anything?”
As long as it’s not too hardcore… .
I just wanted to do what Tesha wanted.
“Was everyone asleep?”
“why? Do you care?”
“I guess that’s a bit… .”
I laughed out loud. No matter how much Tesha was called a true masochist, she was also a shy girl.
“Don’t worry too much about it. Anyway, the silence magic is also applied… .”
“I will, Ethan. I have something in mind… .”
“yes. what is that?”
role play? Or do you want to play?
Tesha smiled shyly, took something out of the subspace and spread it on the bed.
Looking at those things, I just blinked my eyes.
Items taken out of Tesha’s subspace were collars, handcuffs, gags, eye patches, ropes, whips, candle wax, and so on.
As expected, like a model student, Tesha is thorough in her preparations.
Even then, things poured out for a while.
Tesya picked up an item and held it out, as if she had taken out all her items and spread them out on the bed. I did something, it was a leash.
“Let’s start with a light walk! master?”
Tesha asked with her eyes twinkling. So, that walk is what I think it is… ?
