Chapter 157 [Bonus] Liliana's Request!

"T-Thank you for the meal." He said, placing the soup wooden spoon after finishing eating up all the food that was intended for four people.

His belly was slightly swollen in front of him as if he were a three-month pregnant woman. But despite everything, he did not dare to complain. 'If she were the one who managed my kitchen, I would have already weighed two hundred kilos right now.' He says to himself looking at the bump of his belly with horror. Without talking about this world, even when he was on planet earth, he had never eaten so much at once.

Liliana joyfully got rid of empty plates without paying attention to Alvine's expression. She gave them to one of the guards behind the door before returning to the room as if nothing had happened.

"Ahem, what about the current situation?" Alvine asked her, with the goal to drive out the heavy atmosphere he felt at the moment. For some reason, he did not feel safe with her; even if he knew that his life was not in danger with her, he rather felt that this girl was beginning to have twisted thoughts toward him.

"Hmm~? Everything is fine, don't worry about that." She briefly replied Alvine and then another heavy silence fell on the whole room.

"How many minutes have I been unconscious?" He asked looking out the window. Even if it was dark in the room, he could feel the sunset above him. As he had fainted while the sun was at its zenith, He had assumed that he had spent three to four hours in a comma.

"Not a few hours, You spent a week on this bed." She again gave a short answer without thinking about it too much while she was still looking at Alvine without blinking.

"One week, huh?" He murmured to himself. But he didn't linger on it either.

"Otherwise, what about the distribution of the weapons I had provided you? I'm still waiting for my due!" He suddenly remembered an important subject that was close to his heart and he hoped it would distract her during the time Sylvia joined them.

"Sigh, it's not as if we were going to break the agreement. Rest until you regain all your strength. Don't worry about that. Regarding your first question, our soldiers no longer have problems taking care of the beast emperors. All these thanks to your support. Not only did you take care of a horde of thousands of beasts alone, but also a divine beast. I can't decide on the reward that lives up to your prowess." She says in a joyful tone without diminishing her silly smile on her pink-red lips.

"Is there anything that comes to mind? A request or something you want?" She continued with this sudden question.

"Sigh, not really. But I might have favor in the future, so try not to forget your words." He announced to her in a placid tone.

"I'm going to take a shower since I spent a week on this bed, I have stink sweats. Afterward, I would like to go to the treasure room as agreed. You don't mind, don't you?" He continued with this question.

But his first goal was to get rid of Liliana who has been acting even more strangely towards him since he woke up.

As if he did not want to give her the opportunity to prevent him from going to the bathroom, he came out of bed despite his reluctance to leave the incomparable softness of the bed and went to the room next door, which was a bathroom. He did not need to ask Liliana for the location of the bathroom, since he had already located it when he had scanned the room with his perception powers.

"Very well, take all the time you need... I'll join you afterward." She has these words in a barely audible voice.

"Yeah. So see you later." Alvine answered briefly without understanding the meanings of Liliana's words, who had up been strangely nervous when she heard her answer without embarrassment or hesitation

*Sylvia, you know I'm awake, don't you? So what are you still doing there? *

*Master? Sorry, but I had no idea. Miss Liliana is not with you? *

*Yes, but this girl is not reliable. She is too unpredictable with her strange acts. No matter, I have to take a shower then you will find me with the queen in the treasure room, I don't intend to miss good things there. * He said in a dubious tone. He had already asked Liliana to inform Sylvia but she doesn't do it.

'Had she forgotten to inform him? Finally, this girl is too unpredictable to understand what is happening in her brain.' He concludes by entering the room as if nothing had happened.

He took off his clothes and put them on a table next door, near the front door. The room itself had nothing out of the ordinary; it was a room slightly larger than that of the Kelspies with a large white bathtub in the middle that could easily accommodate five people, a source of water flowing into the mouth of a statue of a beast that he had not yet seen and other necessities for the cleanliness of the body.

He got rid of the non-existent sweat with spring water before entering the large bathtub that had hot water by closing his eyes to relax and appreciated the rose water and the pleasant scent that emanated from it.

"Mm~ it's peaceful."

The door of the room opened slowly before another person entered the room.

"Hmm? Are you so eager to take a shower with me? I thought I told you to wait for me after I finished?" He asked when he heard the sound of the door. He did not need to open his eyes to know the identity of the person who had just joined him. Since the beginning of her trip with Sylvia, she had never left Alvine alone in the bathroom even though Alvine was more perverse in the bathroom than in the bed...according to her.

She did not understand why Alvine had such a hobby of wanting to tease any female sex in the bath as when he spends the night in the same room.

This was also the reason why she baited Liliana with the idea of joining Alvine in the bathroom if she wanted to move forward in their new relationship.

But currently, contrary to Alvine's expectations, it was not Sylvia who had just crossed the entrance door wrapped in a short towel that stopped on the bottom of her buttocks; but it was none other than the queen herself, Liliana.

"Hmm, why you're silent all suddenly?" Alvine remarked from her by not receiving any response from [Sylvia] despite his teasing words.

He pulled her hands towards the bathtub when he felt Liliana's hand on his back.

"Kyaaah~!!" Alvine's sudden actions took Liliana by surprise. She couldn't help but shout by surprise when she fell into the bathtub with Alvine.

'Hmm? That voice?!' Alvine suddenly opened his eyes with very bad premonition at that moment. But unfortunately for him, the first image that hit his visual field was two coconuts covered with long wet scarlet hair.

"This hair color...!" He slowly raised his head just to cross Liliana's scarlet red eyes.

'A-A second, since when had I started to have fixations on her to the point of having hallucinations?'

"Ugh, no, but what exactly is your problem? You are asking me to join you just to brutalize me?" She thundered in an angry but fictive tone trying to mask her embarrassment and redness.

'What? She understood everything wrongly. I meant, after taking my bath of course.' Alvine suddenly felt another headache coming towards him miles away.

"Sigh, you misunderstood me. I thought you were talking about coming with me to the treasure room." He announced it with imperturbable eyes. His placid look and imperturbable voice made Liliana more and more annoyed by thinking that he remained indifferent to her because her body did not have enough effect on him.

"It doesn't matter anymore now that you have wet my body. You... you have to take your responsibilities now."

"Eh? Take my responsibilities? In what century do you live, dear queen? Do you at least know what you're talking about?"

"O-of course, show yourself grateful to me as I order you to wash my back." She stammered in a mosquito's voice.

'Miss Dylvia, I hope you didn't trap me.' She said to herself remembering Sylvia's little advice who told her that Alvine liked bath services more than other things. If she wanted to break the ice between them, she absolutely had to join him in the bathroom and wash with him. To believe that her naivety had no limits.

Alvine frowned when she heard Liliana's words. The only word he had captured in his sentence was the word "order"!

"Do you order me? Do you think you're qualified enough for that?" He asked in a solemn tone.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"Damn it, you so stupid not to understand what's happening right now?! Why still can't you understand so far despite all these events?" She turned her eyes away from those of Alvine. She was too embarrassed to cross Alvine's confused eyes.

"What exactly do you mean? I knew that a few things were going on between you and Dylvia but how could I know it was to join me in the bath? Is it so complicated for a simple explanation?"

"As I thought, you are really the worst idiot." She whispered these words while the back of her head was placed on Alvine's shoulders who could feel the sweetness and pleasant scent that emanated from her impeccable body.

But he forced himself to calm down thinking of Liliana's multiple facades as if she had several people housing the same body. "Can you at least explain what you are sheering with this madwoman?" He finally asked when he saw the consequences of his ignorance while he inhaled Liliana's body perfume inadvertently.

"Sigh, say, since I don't know how to explain it to you then, I'll reformulate it in the form of a favor." She asked him while using his torso as a mattress in the bathtub.

"Ugh, always speak, I listen to you." Alvine did not care about his actions, but the other problem that worried him the most was his little brother who was starting to become energetic downstairs when he felt the contact of the queen's plump buttocks on him!

'Has this girl always been so bold?!' He wondered when he finally realized that they were in a more ambiguous position than he thought. He could only wait for Liliana to decide to move away from him, but she had her back on his torso and her head on his shoulder as if she were with her lover in a bath.

"Can you become my husband?"

"...!" Alvine's brain had a short sudden circuit when he heard Liliana's request.

Husband? It was an unknown word for Alvine. Not to mention this life, even when he was on planet earth he had never thought of being with someone for eternity.

"Are you so surprised by that to become mute? I admit that I did not expect such an unexpected reaction from you." She continued in a placid tone that showed Alvine that she was not joking in these words.

"What drives you to make such a strange request?" Even if his answer was obvious, he still asked this question in order to give a categorical refusal.

"Sigh, as queen, I can't submit to someone. It would be contrary to all our customs; I would even say that it is the greatest blasphemy a sovereign can commit. From your question, I suppose Miss Dylvia is better informed than you about our customs. I thought you knew it, but apparently, I was wrong." She briefly explained to Alvine what she had on her heart for several days now.

'Sigh, I now understand why everyone was acting strangely with me. First, I became the lord of vampires overnight, Sylvia who acted strangely by constantly creating opportunities to leave me alone with the queen, and finally, the categorical change of the queen's personality towards me.' He finally had his answer even if it largely exceeded his hypotheses.
