Chapter 97.2

(EP-97.2) Pet #4

097 – Master and Pet #4

“That.... I can’t reveal. It could endanger me.”

“.......”

Elga quickly understood. There was usually a common reason for the fall of noble families, rebellion and treason.

Descendants of the rebel family would be severely punished or killed, so if it was revealed that Theo Gospel was a descendant of a fallen noble family, he’d have pitchforks pointing at him.

When faced with that, you’d naturally want to hide it.

However, it didn’t really matter what family Theo Gospel was from in Elga’s opinion. After all, he was probably just from a low-ranking noble family that was far inferior to the Lioness Family.

What was important was that Theo was a noble of ‘blue blood’.

This restored some of Elga’s self-esteem.

Because the man she was clinging to was an unknown orphan and slave, Elga always felt a sense of shame every day. ‘Even if he’s a slave, if he’s from a noble family, then–.’ With this revelation, you could say that she found tranquility within her emotions.

For this fella was, indeed, a descendant of a noble.

Elga suppressed her desire to rejoice, and instead asked solemnly, making it seemed like her anger had not yet subsided.

“Perchance, did the Lioness destroy your family?”

Perhaps because of Elga’s sharp question, but Theo vaguely glanced to the side.

“Well, you can say that...”

“So you deliberately approached our family? You enthralled the people in the slave market to grab my attention, didn’t you?”

Theo raised his brow in confusion.

“The slave market...? Ah, yes, that’s right. As expected of Elga-nim, always full of wisdom.”

“So you approached the Lioness to avenge your family?”

“That’s-.”

Theo kept his mouth shut.

But Elga knew very well that the time when she needed to be the most careful about Theo was not when he was talking, but when he stayed silent and thoughtful.

Who knew what ideas brew inside his head, and what kind of words he’d spit out with his nimble tongue.

So Elga decided to take the lead.

“But isn’t it your family’s fault that you got destroyed in the end? You were probably with the Angmar’s. Like the Draco Family, you’re doomed for following a foolish king.”

Elga thought that Theo Gospel’s family had something to do with the Demon King Angmar. The similarity between Theo’s ability and ‘clairvoyance’ could be attributed to this.

After all, Demon King Angmar had the ability of clairvoyance, able to see through the future and truth.

Elga found it funny that such manly words were coming from a frail, even slightly feminine, Half-Elf.

“So, you mean you’re trying to approach as many women as possible in order to have a lot of children?”

“Something like that.”

“Isn’t this complete madness?”

“.......”

Theo shut his mouth. Even he understood how reckless it was.

However, in order to revive and maintain the family, it was best to marry a lot of wives and have as many children as possible.

Joseph, the 8th Patriarch of the Lioness Family, also had a lot of wives to get the family out of its birth crisis. He had married six at the time.

So Elga managed to suppress her boiling anger and asked.

“So, how many children do you want?”

The matter of how many children was an integral part of marriage.

Theo paused for a bit.

“... One.”

“One-? One child?”

“Well, at least thirty.”

“... What!?”

{T/N: the 4 sentences above don’t make sense in English but you get the idea}

‘Thirty as in 30!?’

Giving birth to one alone was already difficult. And even if you had one child a year, it would still take 30 years!

Then, Elga suddenly realized, why was she thinking about this? Her anger surged.

“Get out, you jerk!”

Elga got up and kicked the daydreaming man out of the dormitory.

Getting hit from the back, the man exclaimed, “Hieek...!” It was a feeble scream, which was far from ambitious or heroic.

She felt so outraged at the fact that she fell in love with this man, that she couldn’t help but shout again.

“And take your squirrel too!”

━Keongkeong!
