eugene and others momentarily stared at them specially at noir who looked somewhat exhausted by melkith annoyance . she stared with a wistful smile by tiled head did she trying to say something? but she wasn't thinking of anything that eugene would know.
" Well I wasn't expecting you to welcome me but good to see you here carmen lionheart " Noir said with small smile.
" My apologies! Lady noir it's better if you called just carmen and also welcome to Lionheart's family " carmen muster up courage to whishper.
At these words, Eugene and others gazed at carmen with a dumbfounded face it's not she said something wrong? but word lady noir felt a weird sensation in their minds coming from carmen mouth.
" hmm. . well fine I"ll keep that in mind " Noir respond calmly.
Carmen didn't know what to say more to her? it's not like she felt embarassed or something but it's feel weird to talk noir when she never had a conversation with her according to eugene and world she had a playful and talkative personality but she look somewhat different?
" Carmen do know about me? Of course maybe this guy tell you everything about me and her highness I'm melzri goddess of dragons pleasure to meet you carmen or maybe I say silver lion " Mel zri said with a warm smile.
carmen sensed a momentarily pride when mel zri called her title name it's been a long time someone called her by that title, she thought many times to acquire a new title but she didn't liked any other title besides silver lion.
" Pleasure it's my. . . . go-goddess melzri I heard a lot about you from eugene " Carmen stammered.
" Really Carmen I don't think so this arrogant bastard could ever said anything about me right? " mel zri said with a bored expression.
" There is nothing to talk about you " eugene curtly said.
" Never mind this shithead Carmen unlike that weird woman you are quite bold and noble type personality I like that air of you r that you give off " Mel zri compliment her.
By melzri kind words, carmen felt like her heart and soul had been struck by hard hammer becuz of the burden of these words coming directly coming from a goddess mouth it's still so unreal to her.
" I'm not worthy of your mighty words goddess melzri. . . . " Carmen said with a slight hesitation.
" No. . . You're quite worthy after all, you played a important role in eugene growth didn't you? and also you had heaven genocide that you have graced by red dragon " Melzri stated firmly.
" Eugene did you tell about my. . . "
" No I didn't say anything to her you forget there is no need to tell her anything she knows everything afterll she's dragon goddess " eugene spoke up before she could finished.
" Oh my ago rath I didn't expect that you know me so well " Mel zri teased him.
he don't have any intention to entertain her nonsical talk in the first place so he simply decided to ignored her. he gazed at noir who shrugged her shoulders like she saying she didn't want to get involved between your matter.
" Carmen you can ask anything you want? you who's Lionheart consider their pride and you also come here to welcome us without any greed. I'm impressed who really are a true lionhart. " Mel zri said proudly.
" My sincere apologies goddess Mel zri! there is nothing I want from you " Carmen said with a wry smile while moving her head wildly.
" It's not good to deny a goddess grace. but don't worry I'm not disappointed from you I rarely gifted blessings unlike her highness and Carmen I found you quite my liking so consider this gauntlet as my blessing " Mel zri said with a polite tone.
Melzri conjured a white - blue gauntlet in her right hand and she holding the child with her left hand. gauntlet emitting a brilliant dark blue aura that shone interest of eugene and others on gauntlet that appeared on melzri hand out of nowhere.
Carmen stared at the gauntlet that was in Mel zri with wide eyes she had heaven genocide and a another gauntlet that a dwarve created from Raizakia corpse but this gauntlet was far overwhelming than those two she had, she was sure of it.
" Take it Carmen you're quite lucky that Mel zri consider you her liking after she didn't consider any human special apart from you and never bestowed any gifts or her blessings " Noir persuaded her with a smile.
" lady noir can I ask something please "? Carmen quickly demanded.
" what is it that you want to ask ? " Noir raised a brow.
" what is that gauntlet goddess melzri hold in her hand " Carmen asked hurriedly.
" Oh that's. Fine I'll tell you that gauntlet created by one of Mel zri descendants that already had dead after her descendant died she crafted this gauntlet with her life force and scales of that ancient dragon " Noir explained by crossed arms.
" this gauntlet created from one of her descendant corpse ? " eugene repeated doubtfully he can't be sure that melzri have descendants.
" hmm. . that's right those are not acutal descendants but melzri created them with her life force to maintain the dragons legacy " Noir said with calm voice.
" hmm. . " eugene just hummed and thought internally maintaining legacy?
" how long do you want to keep me waiting?, Carmen hurry up and take it " melzri complained.
Carmen hesitated for a moment but she didn't want that she get mad so she slowly move towards her and held the gauntlet with both hands and take a multiple step back from her immediately.
She gazed at gauntlet that was now in her hands with intense curiosity she tried to wore the gauntlet in her right hand when she did the gauntlet adjust to her hand size and attached comfortably like she just wear some kind of band.
" I greatly appreciated the gift from you goddess melzri this gauntlet extremely powerful and also comforting to wore I'll never forget this day " Carmen said with bright smile.
" Glad to hear you liked my gift " melzri responded quickly.
" oh my darling twilight had passed and the night will soon began so what kind of preparations did you do? " Noir said, then she smiled seductively.
Seinna and others had been struck hard by the word my darling?, they momentarily stared at eugene but he didn't gazed at them becuz he was thinking something different.
" what kind of preparations? " eugene muttered in a weak voice.
Noir didn't respond to him, she walked silently towards him, close the distance between them and then she put her both hands over his shoulders and whispered a few things into his ear. he didn't turned red or neither his face twitched but instead remains calm.
" hmm. . my darling it's quite understanding that you didn't prepared anything for our welcome but don't worry about that I don't feel bad but I want to ask from you, what do you prepare to eat? " Noir said with while licking her lips.
Seinna and others felt a intense fear and weird sensation of happening something truly uncertain that sending cold chills to their spine what she meant by those words?, eat what?, they all involuntary swallowed the words before they uttered out.
Carmen didn't understand what noir meant?, So she tiled her head in confusion.
" there is no need for do anything you're lionheart guest we have brilliant chefs that will served food for tonight so you don't need to worry about that " eugene assured her.
At these words, Seinna and others let out long relaxed sigh. they we're thinking just some pointless thoughts.
" But those of your brilliant chefs can match my cooking skills did they ? " noir grumbled, her lips twisted in a pout.
" But noir why you. . . "
" don't say anything okay my darling " Noir put a finger on his lips to stop him from saying anything.
That's a woman right not any so called brilliant chef to fullfill the belly of her favorite man with her heart and love. Come to think of it, when you come to my gia billla city you didn't eat the food that I personally made for you becuz of the circumstances but now is different. . " Noir said with a faint smile.
" well I'm sorry " eugene said in a depressed tone.
" No need to apologize, My darling it's would be so fun If I made the dinner for lionhearts family afterall, I"ll be your official wife in 6 months it's technically right for me to win the hearts of all lionhearts wouldn't you agree? " Noir offered with warm smile.
eugene didn't say anything to either accept or denied noir idea, he thought it's better to stay silent while at noir smiling gaze with wry expression.
" To win the heart of the lionhearts with your cooking skills? " Sienna said with some slight hesitation.
Noir did a quick nod at her and said afterwards " come on try my cooking maybe after eaten my home cooked dinner you'll genuinely feel the heavens that dinner you will remember forever "
Sienna and others turned glute silent and the word of heaven they already understand the meaning behind it?, when they drank that fountain water. They sneaked a glance at melzri who shook her head with a bright smile.
they swallowed theirs distraught emotions, noir wouldn't do such a thing liked what goddess melzri did with us Right?, they thought internally with a blank expression so none can guess what they were thinking just now.
" I already know all your preferences, tastes, what do you like or dislike with my pleasure divinity it's possible for me to know, if you want I can also create wine and alcohol that you never taste in your life. " Noir proudly said while sneaking a glance over to Carmen and kristiana & Anise.
Carmen and Kristiana & Anise catch the word wine and alcohol with thier sharp senses they have lasted many luxurious and highly expensive wines but noir had said she's can even made wine & alcohol that we never tasted in our life.
" Sienna it's better if we taste noir dinner after all, it wouldn't have any bad effect on us what you say Kristina? " Anise said with a calm expression.
" Yes Sister! I'm totally agree with you it's would be so impolite not to taste lady noir dinner that she's ll make with her heart and love " Kristina said with a sharp nod.
" I also thought the same thing " Carmen quickly added her voice.
" you"ll all just melt by the word wine and alcohol that's come from noir mouth didn't you " Sienna said with narrowed eyes in irritation.
They didn't argue back at her not even glance at her face.
" Fine! I"ll taste the dinner that you"ll made for us , I also want to know what it's feel like heaven dinner? " Sienna accepted with a sneer.
Noir gave a satisfied smile and turned her gazed towards eugene who take a deep sighed.
" I"ll inform all the main members of the family that today dinner will be made by noir and everyone have to eat the dinner with genuine sincerity " eugene swifty changed his tune to accept the proposal.
Noir moved lips towards him to a kiss eugene felt trembled did she seriously want to do in front of everyone? her lips were too close to eugene, everyone stared at them with wide eyes and half jaw dropped but didn't happen what they were expecting?, Noir lips touched eugene right cheek and left a dark red lipstick mark on his cheek.
eugene hand moved toward his cheeks to scratch the mark but noir hold his hand and gave him a angry look.
" you can't my darling this is the punishment I bestowed over to you , you didn't prefer anything to welcome us that's your sin so calmly accept that you need to appear in today's dinner in that same lipstick mark " Noir said with a wistful smile.
Sienna and others thought that's not quite bad punishment but at the same time they also felt jealous bcuz they never thought to do such a thing with eugene.
eugene entire body trembled, her cheeks twitching with intense fear when he thought about the whole family would intensely stared at eugene face with a pity expression he never want that to happen.
" Noir. . . That a too much didn't you also thought what will happen with me ? " eugene stammered.
" you committed a terrible sin and now you are spouting such filthy excuses " Mel zri snorted in disbelief.
" you shut up! no one asked your opinion so stay quiet " eugene shouted angrily.
" don't worry my darling! this lipstick wouldn't became a nightmare for you, the lionhearts will understand this a important issues especially gilead and ancilla no one will laugh at you I'm certain of it " Noir assured him with a flashing smile.
" hmm. . " he grunted and did a slight nod with a twisted expression.
Noir moved her hands from him and take a step back, she felt satisfied and she winked at him a few times. eugene turned slightly everyone was fiercely stared at them.
Noir did stretched her hands up and did a yawning sound she felt tired , in her mind only one thing can removed this tiredness with a smile she turned towards melzri.
" Melzri let's go the hot springs for a relaxed bath " Noir proposed.
" Yes! your highness I also want to check the quality of the liver hot springs, Seinna and others come and join us " Melzri said in a gentle tone.
" really with you two? shared a bath together " Sienna said with blushed face.
" what's the problem sienna? why are you turning red, shared a bath together between woman's isn't a quite big deal right ciel? " she whispered softly and then turned her gaze over to ciel.
" that's right lady noir I don't know about lady sienna but anise and kristiana didn't have any problem right? " Ciel responded softly and question them.
they acted a bit bashful for a moment but they nodded their heads quietly. they both gazed at Sienna who 's lips were twitched with slight annoyance.
Sienna take a short sigh, she don't have any choice rather than quietly accept the offer like them so did a nod after thinking a lot.
" Now then shall we go ladies? and my darling where you"ll go in man bath or our special woman bath that specially for you? " Noir said with a seductive smile.
" No I not " eugene quickly denied and said afterwards " I"ll definitely go with vermouth and the others.
Noir let a soft chuckle at this reply, she gazed at melzri to say to move forward to the hot springs. Noir followed behind her and Sienna and others did the same without a word.
they soon left the forest mansion heading towards the hot springs only Carmen and eugene had remained, he unconsciously glance over to her but she turned away her gaze.
" I"ll inform the lionhearts family about today special's dinner and you go enjoy the hot springs with father vermouth " Carmen whispered quietly without turning back.
" Sure, inform the family " he quickly responded and covered his right cheek with a light touch.
