Chapter 319 55

In the morning, Ziel was already busy in the kitchen preparing food for Kalya and the others. His face looked refreshed even though he had only had a short nap after a night with Queen Helena.

The girls, including Princess Irene and Princess Cordelia, stayed at the cottage after they had a small party last night. When he returned with Queen Helena, they were already asleep in their respective rooms.

Luckily, Ziel had plenty of room in the cottage, enough for the girls and Queen Helena to stay. But they still didn't wake up until now because they were so tired after partying till midnight. Besides, today the academy was closed because the dwarves were about to begin constructing the city guardian battle platform.

Not long after, Ziel heard the sound of footsteps approaching him. Kalya was the first to wake up among the girls and enter the kitchen. Even though her hair was messy and she wasn't wearing any makeup, it didn't detract from her beauty. On the contrary, she looked even more beautiful with such a natural appearance.

"Good morning." Ziel smiled at Kalya and greeted her.

"Good morning, Ziel. I'm sorry that I woke up late today. We had a small party until midnight and were exhausted after that." Kalya said apologetically and quickly put on her apron. She intended to help Ziel cook in the kitchen. Since they lived together in the cottage, she had behaved like a housewife in that place.

If Ziel woke up late in the morning, she would make breakfast and vice versa. But if they wake up simultaneously, the two will cook together and look like a newlywed couple.

"You don't have to think about that. Did something happen after I left?" Ziel asked, but his focus didn't leave the food in front of his eyes.

"Nothing important happened yesterday. But after you left, people from the Dwarven and Cirlus Kingdom arrived at the academy. Originally they intended to build a city guardian battle platform in this forest. But after finding out that I made a residence in this place, they moved the location to another area." Kalya helps Ziel cook another dish. They had to make more breakfast because Clara and the other girls stayed at the cottage.

"How many people came, and when would they start working on the artifact?" Ziel raised his eyebrows when he heard the news. He hoped that they could finish the large-scale artifact as soon as possible. That way, he could be calmer when he had to leave the girls at the academy.

With the combination of the city guardian battle platform and Ziel's artifact, the girls could at least fight several people at the true god level at once. But if those monsters were just evolved animals and insects, no matter how many, it wouldn't be a problem.

"The number of people who came to the academy was around two hundred and would add up in a few days. Regarding the construction of the artifact, they had been doing it since yesterday." Kalya replied and then looked at Ziel like he had remembered something.

"Kiss Me. You haven't given me a good morning kiss yet." Kalya drew closer to Ziel and raised her chin while closing her eyes. Ziel smiled and gave a light kiss on her forehead, eyes and lips.

"As usual, you showered my face with kisses." Kalya smiled sweetly and continued her work.

"Don't you like it?" Ziel said and teased her a little.

"On the contrary. I like it very much. If it wasn't for us cooking and the girls would wake up soon, I'd like us to return to our room and continue." Kalya teased her back with a seductive voice. Ziel couldn't help but smile and pinch Kalya's nose gently.

"Did anything else happen?" Ziel wanted to ensure that nothing important happened when he left the academy to investigate the village.

"Hmm… maybe about Queen Helena, who disappeared suddenly, which made Freya panic. After that, the girls panicked and searched for Queen Helena all over the academy but still couldn't find her." Kalya chuckled like she remembered something funny.

p "If Queen Helena disappeared, why did you throw a party last night instead of looking for her?" Ziel asked in confusion.

"We found a letter in Queen Helena's room that said she wanted to visit a friend's house." Kalya explained.

"So like that." Ziel nodded in understanding.

"Do you know anything about it?" Kalya raised her eyebrows after hearing Ziel's answer. She felt that there was another meaning to his words. But before Ziel could answer his question, another footstep was heard approaching the kitchen.

The people who appeared this time were Clara, Princess Iris and Kyouka. After the girls' party, Princess Iris and Kyouka suddenly wanted to talk to Clara about something. After that, they ended up sleeping together in one room.

The three girls came out with the same appearance as Kalya. They don't have time to dress up and fix their hair. They were still wearing their nightgowns and didn't seem to care if Ziel saw it because that was their goal.

"Good morning, you two!" Clara greeted cheerfully.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning!"

Princess Iris and Kyouka also greeted Ziel and Kalya. They looked embarrassed to have to show their nightgowns to Ziel. Even so, they did not attempt to cover it up.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well last night?" Ziel smiled and returned their greetings.

"We slept well. That's why we woke up late." Kyouka answered.

"Yes. Thank you for the new mattress and air conditioner you've made. We didn't expect it to improve our sleep quality." Princess Iris nodded in agreement at Kyouka's words.

"If it wasn't for Queen Helena staying here, we might have woken up a bit late." Although Clara looks cheerful on the outside, she is still sleepy. Queen Helena often gave lectures to the girls who often got up late.

"That's good. After breakfast and some practice, you can continue your sleep, my lady." Ziel couldn't help but smile when he saw Clara's behavior that didn't look like a noble girl. He was referring to training about controlling magic and sparring between girls. Ziel wanted Clara and the others to enrich their fighting experience. Then He turned his eyes to Kyouka and Princess Iris.

"You too. If you don't get enough rest, it's best to go back to sleep after practicing. For now, I've prepared juice and bread on the table if you're hungry. But breakfast will be ready soon if you want to wait a little longer." Ziel added.

Princess Iris and Kyouka felt warm in their hearts when they saw Ziel treat them the same as Clara. He also showed the same concern as Clara, regardless of who met him first.

"Yes. We will listen to you." Kyouka and Princess Iris smiled like blooming flowers and answered simultaneously.

On the other hand, Clara smiled and didn't feel jealous when she saw that. On the other hand, she feels happy when her two best friends, who share the same soul with her, are delighted.

"Then, we will wait at the dining table to eat together with the others." Clara tapped the girls on the shoulders and pulled them towards the living room.

Afterward, the girls woke up and gathered at the dining table. Queen Helena was the last to appear. When her eyes met Ziel's, her face was red like a tomato after remembering what they had done. She quickly lowered her head because she didn't want Ziel to see her blushing face.

Queen Helena was very aggressive after drowning in her lust and love. If it weren't for their limited time, he could have done that together with Ziel for a whole day.

Although Queen Helena was no longer a virgin, the sensation she got at that time far exceeded her first night with King Leonida and made her addicted. She had found the love and sexual pleasure she had been looking for all along.

Kalya saw Queen Helena's strange behavior and could only give her a wry smile. As a woman, she had very sharp intuition and could slightly guess what had happened between Ziel and Queen Helena.

"Please tell me about your investigation yesterday and Queen Helena." Kalya smiled sweetly and pinched Ziel's waist.

"I did intend to tell you later. After all, there's nothing I can hide from you." Ziel couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing Kalya's words. He was amazed that Kalya could realize their relationship by looking at Queen Helena's eyes.

"Of course! because I am your fiancé and the woman who understands you the most!" Kalya puffed out her chest proudly.

"Yes. You are the most special woman, and I love the most." Ziel gently stroked Kalya's cheek.

"I love you too, Ziel!" Kalya smiled broadly when she heard those words. She left her cooking and hugged Ziel tightly.

"Okay. We have to finish our cooking soon. Otherwise, Clara and the others' stomachs will growl from waiting so long." Ziel stroked Kalya's hair and whispered in her ear.

"Yes, my dear!" Kalya smiled coquettishly and gave Ziel a light kiss on the lips. Then she turned her focus back to her cooking.

Not long after that, all their cooking was finished. Ziel and Kalya brought the food to the dining table with the girls' help. They work hand in hand like a family and do the work according to their respective abilities.

None of the girls in the cottage were idle. Not because Ziel asked them to work but because it was their initiative as part of the family and training to be good housewives. For unknown reasons, Princess Cordelia and Princess Irene helped the girls in the cottage.

After all the food had been served at the dining table, Ziel and the girls took their seats. They changed their seats every day. Today Ziel is sitting between Kalya and Princess Aishia. Ziel was the only man in the cottage and acted as the family's head.

"Enjoy your meal!" Ziel said, and the girls followed his words. After that, they started eating their food.

Ziel and the girls didn't take long to finish their breakfast. They didn't leave the place immediately after eating because Ziel would tell the results of his investigation to the village of those gray-haired people.

Of course, he didn't say anything about Queen Helena accompanying him there. Otherwise, he would be interrogated by Princess Freya and the girls.

Their reactions varied after hearing Ziel's explanation. Some were shocked, some confused, some worried, and the rest remained calm. But none of them can give any other guess for the matter.

"So, what are you going to do, Ziel?" Kalya asks, and her question represents the girls.

"I will come to that village again but not anytime soon. Right now, I intend to look at the construction process of the city guard battle platform and then take a little walk around the academy. Do you want to come with me?" Ziel looked at Kalya and the girls, but they shook their heads simultaneously in response.

"We wanted to spend the day at the cottages and plan to fish together for a barbecue tonight. If you want to see the artifact's construction, maybe you should take Irene and Cordelia. After all, they are representatives of the kingdom and supervisors on the project." Clara answered and then secretly winked at the two girls she mentioned.

Ziel raised his eyebrows when he heard those words. He didn't mind about Kalya and the girls' refusal, but the way Clara addressed Princess Irene and Princess Cordelia sounded intimate. Princess Irene and Princess Cordelia understood Clara and the girls' good intentions, and they had no intention of wasting it.

"If you want to see the construction process, Irene and I can accompany you." Princess Cordelia said, and Princess Irene nodded vigorously.

"In that case, I will be in your care today." Ziel nodded and quickly agreed. From the start, he had intended to go alone. So whoever accompanies him, it doesn't matter.

After that, Ziel and the two girls walked out of the academy towards the first construction of the city guardian battle platform.

Princess Cordelia and Princess Irene could only be silent next to Ziel because they didn't know how to start a conversation with him. But before either of them could open their mouths, Ziel suddenly stopped his footsteps and looked thoughtfully at the gray-haired, middle-aged man and woman walking towards him.
