Under the enslave spell, Zinya had already told Tang Yue where her room was located and about everything else in the house.
So she walked around and casually strolled into one of the rooms.
Inside the room, however, Tang Yue was at a loss for words.
Things in the room were very messy compared to the rest of the house.
"Heh. So this Yana is also a slob! just like certain someone!" She chuckled.
Huh? Who is she talking about? Charlotte silently wondered.
But the little kid standing near them instantly reddened.
Damn it! This woman is making fun of me again! She has absolutely no fear towards me. He pouted.
Tang Yue was too busy to notice it though.
She ignored all the clothes haphazardly lying about and looked at the mountain of parchments in the corner of the room.
Heaps and heaps of parchments laid sprawled about with scribblings of blacksmithing notes on them.
Tang Yue's eyes glittered as she patiently picked up the parchments and looked over them one by one.
It looked like Yana was quite hardworking, but unfortunately, the girl absolutely lacked any sort of talent whatsoever.
Otherwise, with this much effort, the girl would have surely achieved something.
Tang Yue scooped up some parchments and sat on the bed to go through them.
In the meantime, Charlotte busied herself and started tidying up the room.
Tang Yue couldn't help but jump up in alarm. "Hey Hey. You don't have to do all this." She hurriedly stopped Charlotte.
"I am just playing my role." Charlotte smiled and shrugged.
Tang Yue looked at her closely and only sighed in relief when she confirmed that the elf was really not upset.
"Do as you wish." She mumbled and went back to Yana's blacksmithing notes.
After cleaning the place up a bit, Charlotte threw a glance at the kid, who was happily playing with the wolf as if he didn't have a care in the world.
"Hey, how about you help me a little?" She scolded him, but the kid didn't even act as he heard her.
Charlotte shook her head and continued.
After tidying up the place, she took out some herbal oil bottles from her storage pouch that she had kept hidden within her robe.
She sat down on the bed next to Tang Yue and poured some oil on her hand.
"Umm… Yue, let me just give you… umm… a small massage?" She hesitantly asked.
"Sure." Tang Yue absentmindedly replied as she was still gazing intently at the scribblings.
"Wait… What?" She turned around with a shocked expression when the question fully dawned on her.
But by that time, the elf vixen had already loosened her robe a little bit, exposing her shoulder, her neck, and her upper back.
Tang Yue started sweating profusely.
The little kid looked up in disbelief. What the hell is happening here, damn it???
Only Charlotte had a carefree expression on her face as she leisurely hummed a tune, and started kneading the tight knots on Tang Yue's shoulder and her back muscles.
"…." Tang Yue was speechless.
"…." The little kid was speechless. He was now almost strangling Little Blue, who yelped in pain and ran over to Tang Yue's side.
Charlotte for some reason felt the need to look at the boy and smirk at him.
She knew that the kid was weirdly possessive over Tang Yue.
So she continued making fun of him. "I asked you if you wanted to help." Charlotte chuckled.
As the elf's soft and warm hands massaged her body, Tang Yue only felt her stress levels increasing.
"Ok. I am going to act as if nothing is happening here." She shook her head and buried herself in the parchments.
The dwarven girl had scribbled a lot about the basics of blacksmithing so this was quite helpful to her.
Tang Yue, in fact, didn't even lift her head up from the parchments until she heard the father's voice.
Kosa knocked on his daughter's door and called her. "Child, the food is ready. Come out. Let's eat before it gets cold."
Tang Yue put all the parchments down, turned around, and weirdly looked at Charlotte, who was still massaging her.
"Ah~ Sorry." Charlotte stopped and took her hands off Tang Yue.
Tang Yue gulped nervously and adjusted her robe before stepping out.
There were several other things on her mind and the elf's weird behavior was not even close to the top of the list… well at least for now…
She silently went with Yana's father, leaving behind the two slaves in the room, both sitting in opposite corners and glaring at each other.
"Child, have you become thinner these past few days?" Kosa worriedly looked at his daughter and served more food onto her plate.
Tang Yue squeezed out a weak smile and silently munched on the lunch.
"Aye. You are so silent today. What happened to my chatty little brat?"
"Just a bit tired father." Tang Yue smiled.
"Ok. Eat some more and take a rest. I will head to the mines in the afternoon and dig up some ores for trading."
"I got the news that the market will be open sometime in the next few days."
"Father. Father. Actually, I would also like to accompany you." Tang Yue quickly spoke, her mouth half-filled with food.
"I think I got some inspiration in this trip towards blacksmithing."
"I feel like if you teach me the basics one more time, I can do it now."
"Ha Ha Ha. That is indeed good news child." Kosa patted Tang Yue's head.
"OK eat fast then and come over to the mines whenever you want."
"If the work is done soon, then dad can help you with the basics in the night." The dwarf chuckled and walked away.
He knew very well that this was not the first time his daughter got these sorts of "inspirations", but he didn't mind teaching things to her again and again, no matter how many times she ends up asking him.
Tang Yue swallowed the food in her mouth and watched the disappearing silhouette of the dwarf.
Earlier, she had pitied Yana… but now… it looked like she was the one who was pitiful…
Yana was someone who had everything…
