NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20: Kind Girl
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" from afar approaching, I saw a girl of incomparable beauty, her long hair as black as shiny obsidian, her eyes as red as blood and her skin as pale marble.
"Miss Persephone, this gentleman has come to pay for items stolen from his companion." Persephone then... her cleavage is very large and her breasts are massive... can I steal her for myself?
"Yes, I need to pay for this as soon as possible, otherwise I'll die right here by slitting my throat and even dead I'll suffer for eternity!" A little extra drama is always good, let's see how she reacts.
"Please don't talk so lightly about dying. A man as young and strong as you still has a lot to do." Hehehe, I'm young and strong, am I? That ego-softening came for free... I like it...
"It just depends on you allowing me to settle this matter formally without leaving any bitterness behind. A meeting with your landlords would solve everything!"
"Well, since it's so important for you, please follow me and we'll talk about it in private." She had some authority around here, apparently. She beckoned us to follow her.
Charlotte was still looking at me strangely, mentally re-evaluating me, this girl only knew my rude and aggressive side and for the first time she saw my dramatic and victimizing side. She was about to open her mouth to say something, but I silenced her with a stern look.
"Come on, let's go." I love the brat but now it was time for the adults to talk. I didn't need her to be immature and thieving, I needed her to be my advisor and complement me. That was the goal from the start, after all.
People stared at us as we passed by escorted, many wearing simple clothes like farmers and many others in shiny armor that barely contained the muscles they were supposed to protect.
The mansion was decorated with as many flowers and shrubs as expected and gave off a refreshing summer air.
"What Familia do you belong to?" Persephone looked at me with unusual gentleness and patience, her every gesture was soft and beautiful with a unique grace that only made me want her more.
"It's peculiar to come here without knowing it, we're from the Demeter Familia, the biggest farmers in the region and we basically support the whole town with what we produce, surely you've eaten a loaf of bread made with our wheat." Demeter... I don't know much about them...
"I imagine you understand everything about plants, not just grains, right?" I needed to start pursuing my real goals.
"Sure,we have a large catalog of plants and their cultivation methods, and we often send people to study new discoveries around the world. Although it doesn't always pay off..." She seemed to have suffered a recent loss... Investments in research could be very lucrative, whereas they could make you lose a lot.
"I imagine something has happened recently." She agreed somewhat darkly, the subject seemed to have been stressing her out for a few days.
"We recently harvested a sapling from a plant in the dungeon, it could be used to produce a rare sweet fruit and could be a good investment."
"Unfortunately when it came to the surface and we planted it we noticed that it quickly died and not only it but the plants around it. They all had their leaves eaten, cut and clipped."
"A plague was accidentally brought to the surface from the dungeon... although it's not as big a problem as it could soon become, the insect in question hides easily and multiplies without hindrance here."
As we chatted we had already reached a meeting room, the windows here seemed to light up more than usual as if the sun was drawn here.She invited us to sit on the most comfortable sofa I had ever seen in my life, two in fact.
"Would you like some coffee or tea?" She asked me as she started to prepare, it must have been a crime to look at something so beautiful, that ass was round and as big as her breasts.
It must be nice to be the god of this Familia, not having to deal with brats who love to give orders and complain.Always enjoy a good view, relaxing and leaving all the difficulties for them to deal with. That was my goal.
Who knows, maybe I can kill and replace Demeter.It could be an easier way, I kill her and steal her daughter. It would be a happy ending with everyone celebrating at a wedding with a big cake.
"Tea please" Charlotte said without a hint of shame, as if it wasn't her fault that I had to open my pocket.This girl didn't have any shame on her face, did she? She almost ordered as if she had all the morals to do so.
"Tea for her and coffee for me." I grabbed her head and pulled her beret down, subduing her right there.She had to learn to be quiet for a while.
"Hey! Leave me alone!" She tried to shake off my hands, which only got heavier, messing up her hair.
"For a repentant thief, you seem very comfortable and happy abusing the generosity of a beautiful and kind lady. You'd better put your head down! In fact, it would be better if you didn't even sit on the sofa!You should be on your knees on the floor with your forehead pounding in deep regret!"
I heard laughter coming towards me along with a bittersweet smell of hot coffee.She wasn't mocking and had a mature beauty about her. Please my lady, you don't need to convince me to take you, I've already made up my mind.
"You guys get along very well.I wish I had someone like that in my life."Sweet feelings mixed with bitter sadness, a unique loneliness came from her but was disguised with a smile.If I weren't under another god's roof, I would have recruited her right there.
"Sorry.She's a lot of work, you know. I hope it doesn't bother you."Her heart felt so warm, she looked like a motherly figure but at the same time she was so young… so it's wife material…
"Don't worry, it's normal to want the best for those you care about."Generosity seemed to overflow from her... damn even if I have to tear down this little farm I swear I'll take this girl with me!
"I will call Demeter now. I apologize in advance, sometimes she is a bit annoying."Time to meet the mother-in-law.
