Chapter 31 Fighting the Landlord

"It's delicious!"

Florcia wiped her greasy mouth from eating the elbow, rubbed her belly and sighed. Selena, who was standing by, was more reserved but her belly was also bulging.

"I just kept telling you to eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, there's nothing for you to grab!" Kikyo smiled. The

first thing Selena and Florcia did after being transported to the Hearthstone Hotel flagship restaurant in Kulizani with the new hearthstone was to eat.

After knowing that the two had been eating vegetarian food recently, Kikyo specially ordered the chef to prepare the Chinese dishes learned from Richard, all of which were pickled vegetables. From the leftovers on the plate, it can be seen that they were eating braised pork slices, sweet and sour spare ribs, braised pork, four-happiness meatballs and braised elbow.

"Kikyo, the first draft of the Twilight Bible has been completed. Take a look."

Vashj and Primathis pushed the door open.

"Hey, are there guests?" Primathis said.

Vashj glanced and said, "Oh, it's Selena and Florcia. It seems that your wish has not been fulfilled for the time being. There are wanted orders for you everywhere on the continent."

Florcia's expression became frustrated, and Selena closed her eyes and lowered her head.

After a while, Selena opened her eyes and said to Primathis, "Pli...hiccup...Mathis, I...hiccup...have something...hiccup...to ask you."

Primathis nodded while holding back his laughter.

Oh, so embarrassing... Selena covered her face and ran out the door first.

"How did my mother... hiccup...die...hiccup"

"She died of illness before you were left. Many people knew about her physical condition at the time, including the two former archbishops, the high-ranking priests headed by Innis, her father King Schmidt and a group of nobles. The demons included the late king, Philebus whom the late king trusted the most, and me, who was adopted by Philebus."

"Why did father know... hiccup...that my mother was ill, but he still... hiccup...stayed with her?"

"My mentor Philebus told me that love knows no race, no standpoint, no identity, and no distinction between noble and humble. The late king loved Princess Muse, so he didn't care about her physical condition. He was satisfied as long as the two of them could be together."

"She asked me about the cause of his mother's death." Primathis and Vashj whispered after returning to the house.

"Hey, you told me that before I asked you."

"Your eyes are full of curiosity."

"Really? Haha, what did you say?"

"Of course I told you the truth."

Vashj nodded and opened her mouth to mouth: "The final stage begins."

Vashj ordered everyone to leave: "Okay, everyone who has nothing to do with it, please leave. We have something important to discuss."

The waiters left the room.

Selena, who had just pushed the door open, was stunned when she heard this and asked, "Can't I stay?"

"Yes, this matter is very important to the master, and no one who has nothing to do with it can participate."

Selena walked out with a pout.

Vashj smiled and took out a deck of poker: "Okay, there are only three of us left now, let's play Landlord. It is said that this game invented by the master is really interesting, and you can't stop playing it."

Primathis whispered: "Hey, is it really okay for you to be so loud? Aren't you afraid that people outside will hear it?"

Kikyo said: "Don't worry, the sound insulation of Hearthstone Hotel is very good. Even if you put your ear against the door, you can't hear what is said in the room."

"Then shall we start?"

"Call the landlord!" "Seize the landlord!" "Double!" "No double!"

"Jack!" "King!"

"Airplane!" "I have two cards left."

"Primathis, come your face closer, why are you hiding!"

"Kikyo, you actually still have a big card! Why didn't you play it just now!"

"Vashj, you actually hid your cards! Don't think we can't see you just because you have six hands!"

Time flies.

Vashj stretched and took off the note on her face: "Okay, let's stop playing. Don't let someone wait anxiously at the door."

Kikyo asked curiously: "Who is it?"

"Selena?"

"Why is she waiting at the door?"

Primadis explained: "Because she has nowhere to go. We are occupying her room now."

"Uh..." Kikyo suddenly felt that the question she asked seemed stupid.

Vashj and Primadis walked out of the room and saw Selena huddled in the corner.

"Wait for me here."

Primadis watched Vashj walk to the corner and talk to Selena. Selena's expression changed from indifference to anger, then to helplessness, and finally to joy.

Vashj walked back: "Don't look at me with such curious eyes, your expression is too clumsy. Let's go back and talk."

In the temporary operations room, Vashj said: "I didn't expect it to be completed so easily. I still have many steps to complete."

"After all, you have experienced so many things at once... Your plan is really insidious."

"Insidious? I don't think so. I just let her descend from heaven to the mortal world. Her life is too smooth, and she must experience the sufferings of the world."

"I understand your thoughts, but you were suddenly abandoned by the church that raised you, betrayed by your comrades who lived and died together, and spurned by the people who once admired you. In addition, you are hungry and cold every day. I feel lucky that you didn't collapse."

"If she collapses like this, she has no right to stand by the master. There is one thing I didn't expect. I didn't expect that it would work after only one persuasion."

"Speaking of persuasion, why didn't you persuade her at the beginning?"

"Because I want her to have a taste of being rejected."

Primadis pointed at her helplessly and said, "Bad taste."

Primadis leaned back in his chair and said, "Maybe I can understand her feelings."

"Oh?"

"Maybe there is a contrast."

"Comparison?"

"Yes, she lives a free and happy life here with us. The things she encounters after returning will inevitably remind her of the past, and she will yearn for them."

Vashj said thoughtfully: "Just like you who were abandoned since childhood and were raised by Analoze, and now you feel the warmth, you don't want to go back to your original life?"

Primathis corrected: "It's Philippus."

"Oh, it's the same, they are the same person."

"They are different. Analoze is a manipulator who gives me coldness, and Philippus is a mentor who gives me warmth. Unfortunately, it is difficult for me to feel a warm hug anymore."

Vashj quietly hugged him, stuck out her tongue and licked Primathis's face, and said: "I can give you a warm hug."

"Ah! You pervert! Take your claws away! Don't lick me with your tongue! Mmmmm!"
