Chapter 90 - Interlude (II)

|Lucina Lionheart POV|

I look at my sister with a smile.

"Hyah!"

I block the incoming attack with ease and make my own attack. It has been two weeks since sister Eli came here. While her progress in handling the sword is not as fast as Isaac and me, she is getting there.

However, unlike her mastery over a sword. Her mastery over bow and arrow is superb. She has a natural talent for bow and arrow.

While I still have a little bit of jealousy toward her because she is a woman that wants to take my man. However, I know the circumstances that lead her here. She cannot do anything as women in this era don't have enough power to make some changes.

However, while they cannot do anything from the light, they can do it in the shadow, like Queen Dowager. She gathers her ally from the shadows and gathers her own strength to rival a Count lord or maybe a Marquiss.

However, because her power is in the shadow, she can only rule in the shadow. To rule the light, she needed a massive supporter, but sadly the people did not want a woman to rule the kingdom because it was a kingdom, not a queendom.

That is why. While I have a little bit of hate for her, I don't hate her enough to harass her, and her behavior is something you cannot hate. She is a hard-working woman. She is smart. She is determined to learn.

If not for her father, I think she is born in the north.

"I win."

I smile a little while pointing my training sword at her neck. When she smiles at me, I give her a hand and help her get up.

"Your technique is good, but your stamina still needs some work."

"Sorry about that."

"Think nothing of it. In two weeks, you grow from cannot swing a training sword for a minute to five minutes straight without stopping. That is good."

"Really?"

"Yup. Come on. Breakfast should be ready after we finish bathing."

At my word of bathing, she perks up and begins to beam at me. She has a weird obsession with bathing with warm water. Did the south have no bathhouse? Did the south not have a hot spring?

"Eli, wait for me."

"Sorry!"

I shake my head with a smile. Sometimes, I wonder what she has been through to enjoy the simplest thing as a hot spring.

~4 hours later~

"Lucina, could you help me?"

"Hmmm? Of course. How can I help you?"

"Well…. Hmm…."

I raise my eyebrow and say.

"You know, you could ask me anything."

"Well…. Do you know Isaac's favorite food?"

"Well… He really likes meat. He liked steak, as he called it. He likes medium-rare steak. He also loved noodles. He said he likes hand-pulled noodles."

"Ah! Then will you help me cook some food for him?"

I look to the side, and I can feel my face begin to heat up.

"Well… Sadly I cannot cook."

"Then I will teach you!"

I look at her with a surprised expression before saying.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! We are sisters, after all!"

I look at her if there is any lie in her words before smiling at her a second later.

"Then I will be in your care."

"Yes!"

Eli and I walk toward the kitchen, and when we arrive in the kitchen, the servant looks at us with a surprised expression before kneeling on the ground.

"Lady Lucina, Lady Elizabeth!"

I sigh tiredly. Their loyalty really touches me, but it gets tiring sometimes. They give their undying loyalty to Isaac when he rescues them from the enemy that threatens the north for a long time. Hunger.

He gives them food, a house, and even an income even though he can make them work for the food and the place to sleep only.

While the northern people are hardy people, they still need to eat. With Isaac successfully defeating the only thing that makes the northerner fear, they decide to give their loyalty to the hero that helps them in their time of need.

"Please get up. We come here to make some food."

"Leave this to us!"

"Ah… It is not like that. Want to make food for Isaac, you see. We want to make some food with our own hand. If you are the one making it, it was not as special."

"Then please feel free to use the kitchen. Should we get out of here?"

"No. You don't need to get out. We will use the place in the corner."

"Very well, my lady. Please feel free to call us if you need any help."

"Of course. Then excuse me."

Eli and I walk toward the corner of the kitchen.

"So, what should we do?"

"First thing first. We should gather some ingredients."

"For the noodles, we need some flour, water, and salt….."

I nod my head and begin to gather all the ingredients we need.

~2 hours later~

I could not help but fidgeting when I saw Isaac slurping the noodle inside his mouth. What if it was disgusting? What if it did not match with his taste bud?

"Hmmm~ It is delicious!"

I beam at what Isaac said and look at Eli, who has a happy expression. We did it! I finally cooked something for my dear husband!

It is always my dream to be able to cook for my husband but sadly, cooking is not something I'm really good at. I'm good at cooking potions. I'm good at cooking some medical paste but cooking food? I'm bad at it.

And when Isaac decided to cook food for me? I am afraid to feed him low-quality food. My good mother says that Isaac will never hate me if I do that, but there is a whisper in my head that keeps saying he will hate me for it.

Now I can breathe a sigh of relief as I already fulfill one of the goals I had.

~Later that night~

"Lucina?"

Isaac looks at me with a confused expression as I hug him tightly. The fear of losing Isaac to Eli is still there in the corner of my mind, but I know that Isaac will always stay with me. I know that he will stay by my side.

"Isaac… Do you want to do it?"

Instead of answering my question, Isaac put his lip into mine, and I can feel his tongue dancing inside my mouth. His sweet taste filled my mouth as our tongues danced together. We do this for a minute before Isaac takes off his lips from mine.

Isaac then begins to nibble my neck with his mouth, and I can feel one of his hands begin to explore my ċhėst region. Her hand begins to pinch my nɨppŀė, and I release a little mȯȧn when I feel him use his electric magic to electrocute my nɨppŀė with weak lightning magic.

After exploring my ċhėst area, Isaac began to explore my sacred region. When his hand touched my sacred region, I couldn't help but loudly mȯȧn at pŀėȧsurė. However, before I could release another mȯȧn, Isaac sealed my mouth with his.

I feel the same pain-pleasure from the magic he uses on my nɨppŀė, but this time, he uses it on my ċŀɨt, as Isaac called it.

"Hmmm! HMMMM!"

I mȯȧn in pŀėȧsurė as I feel something coming out from my sacred region. I can feel my leg already turned into jelly as I look at Isaac with pleading eyes.

"Now… we don't want to rush this. Let me taste you first."

After saying that, Isaac picks me up and throws me on the bed before 'eating' me up.
