Chapter 984:
In the quiet tranquility of that day, atop the flying airship from the game Dark Blade, Robb had been sitting as usual. Bound by the games rules, the airship had never worn out. It hadnt required any fuel, nor had it experienced mechanical failures. It hadnt been thrown off course by strong winds, halted by heavy rain, nor struck by lightning.
Unhindered by the real worlds limitations, it had been able to perpetually hover in the sky, carrying Robb anywhere in the world. At the forefront of the ship, a beach chair had been placed, and Robb had lounged upon it, gazing at the surging sea of clouds below him. The sea of clouds had appeared so white and captivating, layer upon layer, reminiscent of cotton candy.
As he watched, Robb had suddenly yearned for cotton candy. Turning his head, he had called out loudly, Lillian, I want cotton candy.
From inside the cabin, a gentle voice had echoed, Coming!Alll latest novels at novelhall.com
Lillian, dressed in a maids attire, had rushed out from the cabin. She had been holding a peculiar tool, which was Robbs newly invented Cotton Candy Machine. It had used the high temperature of magic to melt sugar, then magic to rapidly spin a wheel, centrifuging the sugar into the air where it solidified into threads and formed cotton candy.
Though it sounded complex, it wasnt. Robb had invented numerous such magical tools. When it came to essentials of daily life, he had always been enthusiastic about inventing, regardless of the quantity.
As Lillian sat beside Robb, setting up the cotton candy machine, she poured sugar into it, and almost instantly, white sugar threads had formed inside. All the while, she and Robb had looked at the sea of clouds below. A look of peaceful contentment had appeared on her face. Ah, such days are truly wonderful, she had remarked.
With a grin, Robb had said, Lillian, over these years, weve mostly stayed at home, seldom venturing out. My laziness, coupled with the chaos in the world, meant I rarely took you out. Now, with our airship, even our laziness can span the world. With global peace and no wars, its a great time to travel. Just tell me where youd like to go, and Ill take you there.
As Lillian pondered the question, she prepared a huge cotton candy. Instead of handing it to Robb, she held it up to his mouth for him to eat, and Robb had taken a bite without any hesitation.
This peaceful action had continued for a good two minutes before Lillian softly spoke, Id like to visit the Ghost Nation.
Robb, surprised, had queried, Oh? Why visit the Ghost Nation?
Lillian had said, Ive heard from Shisu that the only place in the world that had still been in turmoil and war was the Ghost Nation. It had been in its warring states period, with hundreds of lords fighting amongst themselves on the nations four islands. Dont you want to lend them a hand and help bring an end to their wars?
Robb, laughing, had shaken his head, Why should we interfere in such small-scale wars? Besides, its the Ghost Nations own business. Theyve closed their borders to engage in civil wars, and others cant intervene. As long as they dont disrupt other kingdoms, no one has the right to interfere. I dont wish to place myself in a godly position, meddling in the domestic affairs of a nation. That goes against my principles. If you want to visit the Ghost Nation for tourism, thats fine, but we shouldnt get involved in their civil wars.
Lillian, respecting his sentiments, had responded, Then well only go for the journey.
As they had been discussing this, Lillians phone had suddenly beeped. Answering the call, she had heard the voice of the merchant Pobo, Lady Lillian, the item you had asked me to find a while ago, Ive finally procured it.
Lillian, excitedly, had replied, Oh? Where are you now?
Thus, Robb had taken the lead, addressing Pobo, Lets see this item. Im curious about what Lillian ordered with such seriousness.
Pobo had chuckled, Her Ladyship had asked me to find two individuals for you.
For me? Robb had expressed surprise.
Pobo had clapped his hands, signaling his subordinates to bring forward two large loli girls from the Ghost Nation, dressed in the custom-made maid uniforms designed by Robb. These uniforms had become renowned worldwide, with nobility from various countries eagerly replicating them for their own maids. The two Ghost Nation loli girls had been twins one with blue hair and the other with red, both sporting small horns on their heads.
Probo had said, Look! These are the twin Ghost Nation maids youve always wanted one with blue hair and the other with red. They became orphans due to the wars and had to sell themselves into servitude. All you need to do is provide them with food and shelter, and they will willingly accompany you. It took me a great deal of effort to find them. Its extremely rare to find twins with such distinct hair colors willing to enter servitude. You wouldnt believe how low the chances are.
Blue-haired and red-haired maids? Excellent, a hundred thumbs up. What Robb hadnt expected was that Lillian had been making an effort to find them for him. How deeply had she been invested in his desires? However, Robb couldnt simply accept them without reservations.
He had turned and taken Lillians hand, smiling, Thank you for your thoughtfulness. However, wanting blue-haired and red-haired maids was a past desire, not necessarily what I want now. Currently, having you, my golden-haired head maid by my side, is more than enough.
A joyful smile had crossed Lillians face, but it quickly faded, and she earnestly asked, Is it really enough? Truly enough? Ever since Suofa stopped being your maid, its just been me serving you, and it always feels like were shprt-handed.
Lillian had recognized Robbs hesitancy. Even if you claim its enough, I dont think it is. Look, I wear the outfit of a head maid, but I dont even have a single maid under me. What kind of head maid am I without subordinates? At the very least, I should have two underlings, right?
Robb had pondered this for a moment. Alright! You do need two subordinates
Lillian had laughed, her happiness stemming from Robbs joy. Her life had been devoted to him.
She had turned to the blue-haired and red-haired maids, and in unison, the two young maids had chirped, Hiya!
Their voices had been sweet and melodic, making Robb chuckle with delight.
