After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 290 - 105: The Gathering of the Church of Death
The next day.
At dawn, the early light filtered through the gauzy curtains, gently falling upon the room where White-haired Lolita, clutching her bedding, slightly furrowed her lovely brows, muttering incoherent words.
Until she smelled the fragrance of food.
"Awake?" a gentle male voice called from afar. White-haired Lolita rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and slowly sat up in bed. The morning sun bathed her just like a kitten that had not yet fully awakened.
After sitting quietly for a moment, as if her brain was booting up, her cheeks suddenly flushed pink.
She remembered how Ahtal had teased her the night before.
Yes, that man had cruelly teased her with his words, but in the end, he had given up the bed to her.
"Why are your cheeks so red?" Xi Mu cocked his head, looking at White-haired Lolita sitting on the bed with her cheeks blushing on their own, and asked,
"You didn’t have a strange dream, did you?"
"Strange...dream?" White-haired Lolita was momentarily stunned, her pretty face grew even redder, and she clutched the mattress tightly, yet she still tried to remain calm and said,
"Dragons seldom dream."
"Is that so?" Xi Mu stroked his chin, making it up on the spot, "How come I remember you talking in your sleep, something like... don’t or something?"
The atmosphere grew tense.
White-haired Lolita’s lips parted slightly, looking at the smiling Ahtal, she grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it at him:
"Stop spreading rumors, and how could you hear what I said from the sofa?!"
Xi Mu took the pillow that smacked his face, placed it beside on a chair, and then explained with a smile:
"I guess I just have good ears."
"You... never mind." She snorted softly, and White-haired Lolita, with a cold face, gave up arguing with Ahtal. She got out of bed, slipped on her fluffy slippers, and walked towards the bathroom to naturally start her morning routine.
As a princess of the Dragon Kingdom, she possessed a considerable ability to take care of herself, not a fool in daily life.
On the contrary, she was very adept at... taking care of others.
Xi Mu glanced at White-haired Lolita as she left and started eating his breakfast, waiting for the dragons who would come to fetch White-haired Lolita.
The night before, he had fought a tough battle, using his inexhaustible spear to slay many dragons.
Not long after.
White-haired Lolita emerged from the bathroom, glanced at Ahtal, who was eating breakfast, and walked over of her own accord.
And just then.
"Bang!" The door was suddenly pushed open, a woman with long blue hair and several sturdy men barged in.
"Princess Evelyn, are you alright?"
"...I’m okay." White-haired Lolita was momentarily stunned, looking at the dragons who had rushed to her aid, she showed a graceful and gentle smile, intending to persuade the dragons who came to rescue her to leave.
However, she soon froze.
"Princess Evelyn, we fought a great battle against Ahtal last night!" one of the sturdy men with a wounded face stepped forward, kneeling before White-haired Lolita.
"Though we lost many dragons, we successfully slaughtered Ahtal!"
"..."
White-haired Lolita was momentarily stunned, instinctively turned her head to look at Ahtal, their gazes met, converging into one.
Last night, Ahtal had slept with her in the same room, hence he shouldn’t have left, how could they have had the opportunity to slaughter Ahtal.
And several dragons also sensed the anomaly; following White-haired Lolita’s gaze, they saw Ahtal unharmed at the table, elegantly sipping coffee with a smile directed at them.
The atmosphere grew tense again.
"Ahtal, why are you here?!" the sturdy man was shocked, they, last night, should have slaughtered Ahtal at sea.
Why was this man still perfectly safe.
"I was here all last night." Ahtal yawned, "With a beautiful fiancée, I had no reason to leave the room."
"But we were fighting at sea last night?" The sturdy man clenched his teeth, so furious that his body trembled, they had fought bloodily against Ahtal last night to rescue the little princess.
That battle had turned the sea red, nearly tearing the sky apart, and the turmoil even submerged several islands.
However, after paying such a high price and finally slaughtering Ahtal, he was inexplicably standing in front of them once more.
This disparity made him feel unreal.
"..." Xi Mu shook his head, pointing at the nearby bed, "Princess Evelyn was sleeping on the bed last night, you can ask her."
"Please don’t make such misleading statements!" White-haired Lolita said expressionlessly, then explained to everyone:
"This man did not leave last night."
Having said this, she added another sentence.
"And nothing happened between this man and me, he slept on the couch and I in the bed last night." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"Princess Evelyn, you don’t need to explain." the blue-haired woman observed White-haired Lolita, noticing that her aura was still very pure, appearing uninvolved in any intense battle, understanding that truly nothing had transpired between Princess Evelyn and Ahtal.
She squeezed out a smile, crouching down.
"Please don’t worry, we will find a way to free you from Ahtal’s captivity."
"I’m not captive." White-haired Lolita explained, yet the gentle blue-haired woman gently shook her head, pulling the young princess into her arms, softly saying,
"Please don’t force yourself." As she spoke, she elegantly stood up, exchanged a glance with Ahtal, then left with several sturdy men.
Considering the terrifying combat abilities Ahtal demonstrated the night before, it was impossible for just a few dragons to snatch the little princess away.
