This was the first time someone had thanked Anna. After all, she was just a type of Beast Flame, and her only function seemed to be fighting.
For an incredibly long time, she had been absorbed by magicians and then abandoned, then taken by someone else… and no one ever thanked her.
This was the first time she was?hearing these words, and Anna felt an inexplicable kind of comfort from them.
Lathel didn’t pay much attention to her, as he continued preparing the cooking ingredients.
After 30 minutes, everything was prepared, the maids could only watch him work, but they occasionally helped him with some cooking utensils.
The rest… the entire process of preparing the dishes was done by Lathel alone.
10 wooden boxes were placed on the table. Each box is divided into many compartments. In each compartment, Lathel placed a little food inside.
The decoration was extremely beautiful, as each dish seemed to emit sparkling light, stimulating everyone’s hunger.
Lathel put the two boxes in a cloth bag, and gave it to Akna: “You will give these boxes to Ryne. The blue box is for the morning, the red box is for the afternoon, understand?”
Akna received the two boxes from Lathel’s hands and asked in confusion: “Master… that’s a bit too small, right?”
“No!” Lathel shook his head and said: “Ryne’s weight has exceeded the normal level because she eats too much starchy foods, sugar or red meat.”
“Ryne should eat more vegetables, of course, she should also exercise more. But I know Ryne is very busy, so I think I need to change her meals first.”
“If Ryne blames you, you can say everything was done by me, and I will also explain to her.”
Akna remained calm as she looked at Lathel for a moment, then bowed her head and said: “I understand.”
Lathel also nodded, he took the remaining boxes on the table with him. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said: “I left some for you guys, remember to clean up after eating.”
After speaking, he left.
After he left, the maids in this place suddenly woke up from their daze. They all felt that what had just happened was?a dream.
“Master … is so friendly.”
“Uhm! He’s also very cool.”
“It seems he is very knowledgeable about cooking.”
“Not only knowledgeable, I feel that the royal chef cannot compare to him.”
“Wow! I really want to be by his side forever, he even left a part for us, he is so gentle.”
Akna heard the maids talking, but her face still showed no emotion. She looked at everyone and said: “You guys should eat too, master has prepared it for us anyway.”
Another maid spoke up: “Captain, won’t you eat?”
Akna shook her head: “No need. Inside the palace, I ate a lot of food cooked by the royal chef. You guys go ahead and eat first, I also need to deliver breakfast to master.”
After she finished speaking, she left without waiting for the other maids to respond.
They looked at each other, then closed the kitchen door and began to enjoy Lathel’s food.
…
Lathel, who was now carrying four boxes of food, went to Lafien’s private room and knocked on the door.
“Lafien, it’s me, Lathel.”
“Heh?! You…” A sudden sound came from inside, followed by a few sounds of something breaking.
Lathel frowned, feeling strange, but he still stood still and waited.
A moment later, Lafien opened the door, her hair was messy and her eyes were dark.
“Didn’t you sleep last night?” Lathel asked confusedly.
“I… last night…” Lafien stammered, her face red.
“It’s because of that stone, right?”
Lafien bowed her head and said: “That’s right.”
Lathel didn’t know what to say right now. Was Lafien so happy that she couldn’t sleep?
“Is that stone very valuable?” Lathel asked strangely.
“Of course.” Lafien said excitedly: “Elemental stones are very rare, and light elemental stones are even rarer. It can be said that out of more than 10,000 elemental stones, only one light elemental stone exists.”
“Besides, the uses of light element stones are very great. The energy within them is not only suitable for people possessing the element of light, but also suitable for those possessing other elements.”
“To be more precise… no matter what element you possess, you can use the light element stone.”
“Of course, the amount of energy inside it is also higher than other elemental stones. Besides, there are many other uses that I cannot begin to list them all.”
Hearing that was enough for Lathel to know how precious the stone that Ryne gave Lafien was.
Lafien continued: “Because I was so happy, I prayed all night, hoping that the gods would answer my prayer.”
Hearing that, Lathel frowned: “You… do you know that the stone was given to you by Ryne?”
“Of course I know.” Lafien smiled and said: “Thanks to the gods, Ryne gave me that stone.”
Lathel really felt extremely uncomfortable at this time: “Are you… stupid?”
“Heh?! What do you mean?” Lafien was startled, as she looked towards Lathel.
“I’m saying… when you received that gift, you didn’t even thank Ryne, yet you prayed to the gods, thanking them.” Lathel said a little angrily.
“Calm down a bit, God is not the one who helped you get that stone. Ryne was the one who gave that stone to you.”
“You… you cannot speak ill of my god, you will be punished by my god.” Lafien shouted angrily.
She couldn’t harm Lathel, so she could only shout and scold him.
“Will God punish me?” Lathel laughed loudly: “Hahahaha… Lafien, I don’t know if the gods will punish me or not…”
“But I know that an ungrateful person will definitely be punished.”
“You…” Lafien gritted her teeth, she wanted to say something, but Lathel continued.
“I do not speak ill of your god, or of the church. But at least, I think the church has taught you two things: ‘apology’ and ‘thank you’, right?”
“Even a child knows that when someone gives him a gift, he must thank the gift giver. Are you still inferior to a child?”
“Shut up!” Lafien shouted: “I thanked god. God was the one who helped me, not that pig-fat noblewoman.”
Lathel frowned. At this moment, he really couldn’t control himself anymore: “Good! If you think that stone was given to you by a god, then you should return that stone to Ryne.”
“After all, Ryne gave it to you. If you’re not grateful, then give it back to her.”
“Why should I give it to her?” Lafien shouted angrily.
“Because that stone was originally hers!” Lathel also did not give up, he thought that today he had to teach Lafien about gratitude.
Otherwise, she will be no different than an ungrateful person. One day, she will be thrown in a corner somewhere, andno one will bother to help her.
“You…” Lafien gritted her teeth, her eyes were wet, as if tears were about to flow.
Lathel sighed seeing this, but he decided to teach her a lesson today and gritted his teeth and said: “Lafien, I know everyone has their own beliefs, but…”
“Shut up! Get out!” Lafien shouted loudly, then closed the door.
Lathel who was standing outside could only sigh and shake his head, then left. Before leaving, he also ordered the maids to bring breakfast and lunch to Lafien and Charlotte.
Today, he had many things to do, so he could not comfort or convince Lafien.
Lafien sat on the floor, her tears pouring out like rain, a wronged expression on her face: “Bastard! Fool! Yesterday I prayed for divine protection.”
“I still pray for you and me to be happy forever. Yet you dare to scold me…”
“Bastard! Lathel, you bastard, you bastard…”
Lafien scolded him for a moment, then angrily stood up and wiped away her tears. She put on a white robe and left from her room window.
As soon as she left, a maid standing on the watchtower saw this scene and frowned.
She waved her hand, and a butterfly made of two pieces of leaves appeared and flew away. .
Lathel of course did not know about Lafien’s escape. As soon as he left the door, he met a maid.
She bowed her head and said: “Master, do you want to go out?”
Lathel nodded: “Um! I want to go to the Enchanter Tower.”
The maid smiled and said: “Then I will prepare a carriage for you.”
“Good!” Lathel happily responded.
A moment later, Lathel looked at the ‘chariot’ in front of him and was surprised, unable to say anything more.
He tremblingly pointed towards the ‘horse carriage’ and asked: “Is that really a horse carriage?”
The maid nodded: “That’s right, master.”
Lathel looked in front of him, where there was a carriage covered with gold on top. The animal pulling the cart was like a Drake, it was over two meters tall, with two horns on its head, and its outer scales were brown like crocodile skin.
He sighed. If he went out and used this carriage, he was afraid people would notice him.
“Is there another one?”
The maid lightly shook her head: “Sorry, master, this is the only carriage left.”
“Then… we can rent a carriage from outside.”
“Impossible!” The maid quickly shouted: “Master, the Duchess has given everyone very detailed instructions. Your safety must come first, I hope master can sympathize with me.”
Lathel sighed: “It’s okay.”
…
At this time, Alec and Malina were walking on the Enchanter path. Yesterday, Alec received a large amount of gold coins from Mardian, so today he wanted to buy some medicinal herbs to strengthen his level.
Besides, he wanted to increase his physical strength, so that when he entered Karol Magic Academy, he could flex more easily.
He thought that there must be many beautiful women inside Karol Magic Academy, and the thought of those beautiful women all chasing him made him extremely excited.
Alec spent last night thinking about how to flex to get the best results in the magic academy.
Malina walked beside him, watching him buy medicinal herbs and occasionally saying a few flattering words to him, making him extremely happy.
“Oy! Stay away, there’s a Drake there.”
“Oh my God! Someone is using the monster to pull the cart, the fate of the person inside the cart is definitely not simple.”
“It’s incredible, I guarantee that the person in the car is at least the Marquis.”
“Everyone, look, the carriage is plated with gold.”
“AAA! It’s so bright, I’m blinded!”
Alec and Maline heard the noisy crowd and immediately looked toward the carriage lane on Enchanter Street.
Indeed, there was a Drake pulling a golden carriage, which reflected light that blinded everyone.
Or it could be said that the wealth was blinding everyone around, making it impossible to see straight.
