Chapter 123: Motive

With my narrowing eyes, I stared at the 2 people watching me with smiles on their faces. We were already walking around the town for hours now and had eaten tons of food. Currently, we were inside the marketplace of the Marionette faction because Karoon told us there was tons of good food around here.

And based on what I saw the last time we've been here, what she said was actually true.

I raised the massive basket of fruit I was holding in my hands and instantly felt something passing through my neck due to someone putting a flower necklace on me.

"I hope you like it, I created it by hand, Lord Casimir." Said the demon girl who put the flower necklace on me while expressing a big smile on her face.

I smiled back. "I do. Thanks."

I put the massive basket of fruit inside my Dimensional storage.

I think I already accumulated more than enough supply to start a shop with the products I got in just a matter of minutes walking around here.

I waved back my hand at the crowd waving their hands at me as we walked away from the crowd.

"The people of this town really adore you, huh?" Prince Dieter commented as I reached them.

"Of course, Mister Casimir is a kind ruler. Despite being a superior demon, he's been treating everyone equally, no matter what race they came from."

Prince Dieter slowly nodded. "I see."Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"I'm just following what Tanya taught me, there is nothing special with my leadership." I wandered my eyes to the food center of the Marionette faction. "So, what kind of anomaly do you want us to eat this time, Karoon?"

They're people sitting on the chairs scattered around the circular open space, but unlike the people inside the marketplace, they were not rushing toward me and were just content by just waving their hands at us. I waved my hand back at them while following Karoon and Prince Dieter walking toward one of the food shops.

The shop looked like a large stall, smoke was coming out from the backside of the shop and I could see tons of people eating at tables scattered in front of the shop. They were eating a whole roasted pig!

Karoon waved her hand to the person inside the shop that could only be seen in the large window that was also the shop's counter. "Mister!"

The middle-aged human owner with black hair and eyes waved his hand back while smiling. "Oh, Lady Karoon!" Upon seeing the person following her, the shop owner nodded. "Greetings, Prince Dieter."

Prince Dieter nodded back. "Greetings."

I put my hands in my pants pockets. "Just don't expect too much, maybe set your expectations a little bit lower... it would be bad if I end up not meeting it."

He shook his head. "No. I don't have to... because you already exceeded my high expectations for you."

I furrowed my eyebrows. "Ah... sure... if you say so."

"Lord Casimir, here's your food." The shop owner came out of the shop, and following him were the employees of the shop carrying a massive metal plate and giant cloche.

The 3 of us stood beside the table while watching the employees preparing our food. As they removed the cloche, what greeted us was a massive crispy, orange whole roasted pig!

"What do you think, Mister Casimir?" Karoon asked.

I swallowed my saliva before answering. "It looks delicious."

All at once, 3 of us sat on the chairs beside the table and each pulled out crispy orange skin. I closed my eyes as I tasted the crunchy pig skin.

"It tastes great, right?" Karoon asked while munching her food.

I nodded. "Yeah, it is."

"What do you think, Prince Dieter?"

"It is indeed flavorful. What you said is true... uhm... Karoon."

"Ehh! Hearing a handsome Prince saying my name sounds nice."

Prince Dieter chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "It genuinely pleasures me to hear such praise."

I just watched them as they laughed while munching their delightful food.

I, on the other hand, raised my hand. "Can you prepare another one? I want to take another one home... I think Misha will definitely love this."

With a smile, the shop owner who's watching us nodded. "Right away, Lord Casimir."
