Chapter 120 – The Monmus Family (3)
“An invitation to the ball has arrived.”
At mealtime, when everyone in the mansion except for Sellu gathered, Erina handed Eve an invitation. Sellu said she likes to eat by the pool, so she usually doesn’t participate in mealtimes. After accepting her invitation without breaking bread, Eve took a peek at her and asked Erina again.
“Did you come to me?”
“To be precise, it’s a letter from the lord, but is it necessary for me to wear the title of Lucius and go to the ball? Besides, the date for the ball is still far away.”
“Then you can tell the groom later. Why are you telling me already?”
Eve asked as she dipped the bread into the soup again. It was a question of pure intent, with no intention of arguing. It was because there was really no reason to tell Eve if the date of the prom was still far away.
“I have to sign the invitation to the prom, but I can’t sign it. It’s a prom you’re participating in, isn’t it?”
Eve replied by shaking her head. It was an expression of disapproval.
“I’m not going. Ask Sieri.”
“Sister Sieri? Why does the story of Sister Sieri appear here?”
“Didn’t you know? She’s your wife too.”
“…Did you get married?”
“Uh, legally. I’m the first wife. Sieri is the second wife. I only wrote papers and didn’t have a wedding, so almost everyone in the estate doesn’t know.”
“You didn’t have a wedding. Lucius is too much of a seed.”
Eve was furious at Erina’s thoughtless words. It was because, from Eve’s point of view, Erina was the one who sent Lucius away.
“What the hell, I was going to have a wedding, but Ji sent me on a business trip to the north due to a pregnancy attack.”
“This is a pregnancy attack! I just sent you to do your duty as a party of warriors!”
Erina blushed and excused herself, as if she had been stabbed in her heart. Eve argued, chewing on her bread and gently pulling out the knife she had left beside her. Erina’s face was reflected on the blue day. Erina leaned against her back, trembling slightly at her sudden action.
Because I couldn’t move my body properly during pregnancy, the difference in level between Eve and Erina became noticeable. While Erina was taking care of herself, Eve, in her own way, had been steadily training with Elsie. Baring her sharp teeth, she argued with Erina.
“What a fucking bitch is saying. Hey, bitch. Do you think I can’t fucking kill a pregnant woman? Can you split up the belly and give me a mother-and-son reunion today? You’ll fuck the groom come back and cut off one arm, one ear, and any missing parts. So say your prayers every night, okay?”
“The fish guy doesn’t even know the subject… Eup! Eup!”
“Hey, stop fighting.”
“It’s not good for pregnant women to be angry. I eat rice quietly.”
Sierra carefully inserted her Eve’s sword while Elsie closed her Erina’s mouth. Erina floundered, then put her head down and calmed down. Eve put her knife in and broke her bread again.
Come to think of it, Eve’s words were not wrong. Even when she thought Erina, she was like that. She sent her husband to a foreign country because she was in a hurry, so it was a matter that Eve could be angry with. Erina, who had been silent, opened her mouth first.
“…I made a mistake about the wedding. I’m sorry.”
“What’s wrong. Apologize.”
Eve responded sternly. She thought about Eve too, she thought for a moment, then she added.
“You know I’m not serious about splitting your stomach, right?”
“That, cutting it off…”
“It’s sincere.”
“What a rude bastard! What a beast!”
Erina blushed again at Eve’s words her. Elsie stopped her from getting up from her seat her, and Aira and Soya were eating their meals in a restless seat. Meal time was not adapted every time.
Eve smiled at those words and looked at Sieri. Sieri, who was restless for fear of her fight again, shook her shoulders and shook her shoulders slightly when her eyes met her Eve’s her. Eve asked.
“Are you going to the prom?”
“Yes? No. No, the ball is a bit…”
“Why is there a prom?”
“A lot of high-ranking people will come, but if I go… Wouldn’t it be a bit like that?”
“Why are you? You’re a normal person with all your limbs.”
“Well, it’s not that kind of problem.”
“Then what’s the problem? What will people say if I wear scale legs? Do you think I’ll put up with that? You’re going if you don’t want to see the prom massacre, okay?”
“That, that… Is it really necessary to go?”
Sierri looked at Erina. Erina patted her own lips and thought, then opened her mouth.
“Since this is a ball hosted by the palace, it should be seen that any lord of the kingdom will attend it almost unconditionally. At the last ball at the palace, Lucius did not participate because he was single, but this year he has a wife.
Even if I decline now, another invitation will come. Isn’t Lucius a celebrity who defeated the demon king with A.A. And succeeded in searching for the holy sword? In the palace, you will definitely want to call. If I refuse, I’ll bother you until the end, so it’s better to say I’m going now and prepare slowly for a month.”
“It bothers me. Even though I don’t give a damn.”
When Eve grumbled, Erina scolded her Eve in a stern voice.
“Don’t forget, Lucius, that he used all his rights his to pardon you. He’s a pleasure-rape killer, even if he’s human, he usually does n’t get a pardon.”
“I know. I know.”
Eve was irritated, but she didn’t refute Erina’s words any more. But she still poured her lips, she added.
“Still, it’s fucking annoying.”
“As expected, Eve-san is going rather than me…”
Eve scolded Sieri, who was still not confident.
“No Sieri. It’s going to be a mess when I go? Fuck, didn’t you hear the grand duke’s son yelling at me for calling me a fish farmer? Besides, I’m the only one who hears strange noises as soon as I go there?”
“Still…”
Eve’s other eye moved towards Sieri, unfocused. No one in the mansion knew why Eve had become an only child. Sellu didn’t even know, but she hadn’t even told her why Eve was an only child.
“It’s okay. It’s okay. Go wear a pretty prom costume and eat delicious food. Huh? How good is it?”
“Oh okay.”
Sieri could only nod her head in agreement as Eve continued to push. Sieri really didn’t want to go. She especially hated balls. Because she was a human far from such splendor. She could not dance well, and she was a human being far from graceful conversation or culture. Sieri was worried that she might be a nuisance to Lucius for no reason.
Erina seems to have sorted out the situation, so she took out other letters.
“A letter came from you. It’s from the information guild.”
“Information Guild?”
Eve accepted the letter. Seeing that she tilted her head at her words of an information guild, she didn’t seem to remember what it was either. Eve, who took the letter from her and opened it, nodded and exclaimed as if she remembered something.
“Oh, damn right. I asked you to find the father. That’s the result.”
Eve was nodding her head earnestly as she read her letter her. Elsie asked.
“Mermaid. Father Mermaid?”
“No. My father is a human being. Fucking bastard. He was a freaking bastard who would eat mermaids too. That bastard would have tried to fuck me too if I was a bit older.”
Even though she said it herself, Eve must have sensed something was wrong.
“Is my husband more of a new kid? No, there must be some fucking difference, but I don’t know the difference.”
“So what are you going to do when you meet your father?”
Erina asked. She was looking at her Eve with a very serious expression. Eve said.
“I have to kill it. I really just wanted to kill it… But the fuck have you already searched?”
Eve clicked her tongue and made her irritated. According to the Information Guild’s documents, Eve’s father and her slave trader had been brutally murdered by a slave rebellion in March of last year. Eve tore up her letter and tossed it on the floor.
“There’s no such thing as a fucking thing.”
“Mermaid. Is your father dead?”
“Uh.”
“I’m sorry.”
“What?”
“Didn’t my father die? I know the pain because my mother died. Prisoners mourn the death of their family members. Aren’t mermaids like that?”
“Uh… What are you mourning for?”
“I see. Too bad.”
“… Thank you.”
Eve was greeted with condolences. Erina added.
“I’m glad you didn’t become a murderer. Killing other territories makes things too complicated.”
“That too.”
Eve agreed with Erina’s words, which was rare. She was embarrassed that she still couldn’t finish her revenge properly. She murmured as she patted her torn paper with her foot.
“Does he have a wife and children?”
“Just go there. How far do you plan to kill?”
Erina scolded her Eve once more. Eve nodded her head at her words her and put an end to her plans her to find her wife and children. In this way, there was no end to the number of targets for her revenge her.
“So when exactly is the date for the prom?”
It was the moment when Erina looked at the invitation again and tried to confirm her date her. The dining room door opened and Robin entered. Robin, who was on duty outside the mansion today, came into the restaurant with a crystal ball and a letter.
“Greetings to the deputy lord.”
“What’s going on?”
Compared to the bad first meeting her with her, Robin treated Erina very politely. Robin said.
“This letter and a crystal ball were placed in front of the gate of the mansion. The name of the deputy lord was written on the letter, so I’m delivering it like this.”
“My name?”
Erina took her letter her and looked at her face her. The handwriting written there was that of someone Erina knew very well.
“Eh, Ay!”
“What, who?”
Eve got up from her seat with a surprised face. Elsie stood next to Erina and looked at her letter her. Erina asked as Elsie squinted her eyes.
“Do you know how to read?”
“I do not know.”
“Look carefully. The owner of this handwriting here is my husband A.A. He is a very brave and dignified person. This person sent me a letter for me, who is worried about me.”
“Who is our groom?”
Eve came next to Erina and asked where Lucius was. Erina said in a bright voice as she ripped open the outside of her envelope.
“Isn’t it written together in the letter? Let’s read it once and think about it. I think that would be good.”
