Chapter 278: Master, should I dig the yard?
Lilith's POV
"SSSSHHHHH"
I gently opened my eyes after arriving near my husband's location.
"Hmm?" I furrowed my brows upon seeing him in an unusual meditative position.
'It's new... My husband is not like this' I mused inwardly as I approached him. Crouching down, I observed him deeply immersed in meditation.
I attempted to brush off my silky hair against his nose; his nose twitched, but there was no sign of him snapping out of it.
'Well, let's wait...' I thought, not wanting to disturb his concentration. So, I gracefully moved away from him.
My gaze shifted to the red cocoon, contemplating when Prisania might awaken. The process could take anywhere from one to two weeks, and for some people, even months were required to fully activate their dormant bloodline... So I am not sure about her.
"Hmm, Hmm" I nodded thoughtfully before deciding to check on Scylla. I opened her door to find her covered with numerous soul crystals, her body gently absorbing the surrounding Mana.
"Hmm, Hmmm, she is working diligently" I muttered with a hint of pride as I closed the door. She would be busy dealing with increasing her Rank, she wouldn't have time to flirt with my husband.
This was my major plan when I asked Adriana to give her more resources.... I am genius!!
My attention then turned to the small cat sleeping on the sofa, muttering softly,
"Masterrrr~ya don't leave me~purrrrr~"
"Heheh" I couldn't help but giggle at the sight. It appeared that my efforts with the cat were proving successful.
A sense of pride swelled within me.
Through a simple yet effective tactic of employing 'Stockholm Syndrome' she had become devoted and willing to sacrifice herself for my husband.
However, acknowledging the complications, considering she was 'his' daughter, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret. Had I known her true identity, I would have vehemently objected to her involvement with my husband.
'Well, all is done; we cannot change anything...' I muttered, acknowledging that my husband did have a certain affection for the feline companion.
Returning to my husband's side, I noticed that he had completely forgotten about my presence.
"Hmph," I couldn't help but puff my cheeks in mock indignation. How dare he forget about his poor wife?
'Sob, Sob,' I faked a few tears, going near him once more and playfully poking his cheeks, lips, eyelids, nose, ears... and even his 'thing.'
Not receiving the slightest reaction, I became slightly annoyed. However, seeing his serene and focused expression, I smiled, sat on the adjacent bed, and patiently waited for him to conclude his meditation.
I continued to stare at him without blinking.
"My husband is so handsome!" I couldn't help but mutter under my breath, watching his hair flutter in the air as the surrounding mana energy swirled around him.
No matter how many times I witnessed this, my love for him only intensified, growing stronger with each passing moment.
'Sigh' I controlled my urges to give him a gentle kiss on his endearing face.
As the night progressed, and the sun began to rise, I remained steadfast, gazing at him without blinking.
To be honest, I often found many things boring and rarely cared about others. However, the sight of my husband engrossed in his practice captivated me endlessly.
"Is this what they call 'True Love beyond Love'?" I mused to myself, an uncanny smile playing on my lips.
"urrhh"
"Mazzzrrrr..llappp....eeee" the cat uttered something incomprehensible, her mouth appearing as if she had devoured a large block of something.
My husband commanded, "Open your mouth," with a stern expression.
Obliging the order, Kitty Anna's body opened her mouth forcibly, letting out a cry as blood seeped from her lips.
"Stop!!" My husband halted her actions abruptly, his expression now marked by genuine concern.
'Wait.... Worried? How dare she make my darling worried about her!!' My anger flared.
However, this was the not time to act idiotically..... 'I will definitely teach her later' I gritted my teeth in anger.
'No one should make my husband worry!!'... Except me, of course.
My husband sat on the sofa and delicately examined Kitty Anna's mouth, inserting his pink finger. She winced, letting out a soft cry of pain.
"Scylla, warm water" he instructed, and she promptly handed him a glass. He moistened his fingers and gently rubbed her lips, a process that elicited further distress from Kitty Anna.
"NNAA~" Kitty Anna withered in pain.
My husband patted her back as he rest-assured her while inserting his fingers and pouring some drops of water inside the gap.
'It seems she ate an ice block...' I couldn't help but scorn her, she was just like her foolish father.
After a considerable struggle, my husband finally extracted a large ice block from her mouth.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha" Kitty Anna breathed heavily, licking her lips frequently as if she was still feeling it, and my husband utilized his healing abilities.
'Whoa! It's been ages since I saw anyone using water healing method' I muttered inwardly as I was mesmerized by his talent.
'What else? My husband is the best!!' I thought proudly, marvelling at his unique water-healing method.
Once the healing was complete, my husband sighed in relief, then seized Kitty Anna's jaw, interrogating her with a menacing tone,
"What the hell were you thinking?... Eating this ice blo-" His words halted abruptly as his gaze fixed on the contents of the ice block.
"Hmm?... OH!!!" I squinted, realizing what was encased within the ice.
"Tiana?" My husband uttered in shock.
"...." I was equally astounded to witness the Queen of Fairies frozen within the massive ice block.
"Is she eating a cookie???" I questioned, incredulous.
"...." My husband mirrored my disbelief, but then Scylla, with her usual nonchalance, asked,
"Master, should I dig the yard?"
"...." My husband snapped out of his stupor, staring at Scylla with a mixture of disbelief and dumbfounded expression.
"Pfft—" I couldn't contain my laughter seeing his wide mouth as if he didn't want to respond to her, and Scylla's lips trembled, threatening to release her own chuckle.
Seemingly enjoying my husband's bewilderment, she relished his naive and childlike reactions
It seems like she also enjoying his expression... Heheh... My husband was sometimes naive and behaved like a child..... it's kind of cute.
After playfully pinching Scylla's cheeks, my husband proceeded to slowly melt the ice block, eventually cradling the unconscious Tiana in his arms. He retrieved the cookies from her hand, muttering,
"Damn Tia, Don't die on me!!" before wrapping her in a blanket.
