When Zoey and Sol left, Zennie asked Eman to co with her to the living room.
Although he had plans to do sothing at that ti, after a slight contemplation he agreed. The day was still long so he still had enough ti.
As they headed to the living room, they t Butler Yun on the way. He imdiately bowed slightly and politely greeted them.
"Good day, Lady Zennie and Sir Eman," said the good butler of the family.
"Good day too, Butler Yun," Zennie and Eman responded casually.
Butler Yun suddenly turned to Eman. And he said sothing that slightly surprised Zennie.
"Sir Eman, here is the list of people who had symptoms of the disease caused by the miasma." Butler Yun handed sothing to Eman. Zennie noticed that it was a black notebook. "All of their symptoms are listed there."
Zennie turned to Eman. "What is that for?" She asked.
"Oh, this? The other day, your father received reports that many citizens are still getting sick even though they have stayed indoors."
"Is that so? Does that an hiding inside the house is useless?!" Zennie asked worriedly. "Does that an we will get sick too?!"
Eman put his one hand on Zennie’s shoulder and he smiled slightly to convey to the girl that she shouldn’t worry too much. "Relax. It’s not like that."
"So why are there people who are still getting sick?"
"You see, even if we stay inside the house, we still inhale miasma that mixes and spreads in the air without us noticing. Even here inside the mansion, we can inhale it. However, because of the magical force that our body has, we have resistance against it. But it’s a different matter if ordinary people are the ones who inhale the miasma; the people who have no magical force in their body. I an, those who get sick are mostly just ordinary people and those who have exhausted their magical energy."
In the simplest terms, according to his System, Magical Force is like a stronger version of antibodies or Buffed Antibodies in the human body!
Hearing his explanation sohow made Zennie feel at ease. "I’m sorry, I overreacted a bit," Zennie said shyly, avoiding Eman’s eyes at the sa ti.
Eman patted her shoulder. "It’s normal to get worried."
After he thanked Butler Yun for giving him the notebook, Zennie and Eman went straight to the living room.
She made him wait in the living room for a few minutes. Eman followed what she said and waited silently. He saw Zennie going to the kitchen.
While waiting for Zennie to return, he read the contents of the notebook. His facial expression was calm as if he was just reading a newspaper.
Even though the kitchen was far from the living room, he could hear the noises of the tools and utensils from there. He also heard the voices of the maids, they were asking if she was okay. Who are they asking? Is it Zennie? Did she hurt herself? Eman asked in thought.
He wondered what they were doing there. Do they slaughter a cow? Well, it was just an exaggeration of Eman’s thinking. They looked busy though. It looked like they were cooking sothing.
After a few minutes of waiting, Zennie returned with the two maids, but they were carrying ceramic plates and bowls in their hands.
Zennie slowly placed the ceramic plates on the table, right in front of Eman.
Eman blinked his eyes.
"Stop staring and have a bite," Zennie said shyly.
Eman looked at her and noticed her grit.
"Did she make it for him? How thoughtful of her," Eman smiled.
However, before picking a piece, he noticed sothing weird. Most of them were heart-shaped.
But when he noticed so blisters on her fingers, he cleared his thoughts and took one. It was still warm. Without a second thought, he dunked it in his mouth. The sll and taste of honey was the first thing that he noticed. Then the flavor of cocoa followed.
What followed after that was the crunchiness of the cookie. In fairness, the taste was good.
The "krunch krunch" sound could be heard as Eman started munching the cookie in his mouth.
"How is it?" Zennie asked with imploring eyes. There was a slight hint of uneasiness in her voice.
"Mmm, it’s good."
It wasn’t a lie. The cookies were surprisingly good and he wasn’t even hungry. After the first one lted into his mouth, Eman took another and another and bit it. The more he ate, the tastier it got.
A warm smile appeared on Zennie’s face seeing Eman’s unceasing bite.
"Ah, why am I the only one eating?"
Eman, who noticed it, suddenly looked at Zennie, who for so reason just stood beside him watching him eat. He also noticed so people spectating from the corner; two maids were pumping their fists.
What they are doing? He thought.
He looked at Zennie again and invited her.
"Co join . It’s sad to eat alone, especially when the food is this good."
"A-Alright," Zennie replied with a big beaming smile.
She looked like a blooming flower in his eyes. Surprisingly, Zennie was unaware that she boldly sat next to him. Even her maids were surprised by her actions.
Suddenly, the two maids received a smack on their heads. They looked back angrily, but when they saw a maid who was obviously older than them, their anger imdiately disappeared as if swept away by an ocean wave. The two turned like gentle puppies instantly.
"Miss Vern? What’s up?" One asked while massaging her head.
It was Miss Vern! The senior maid of the Rothsport mansion.
"Quick, bring these to them."
Just then, they noticed she was carrying a tray with two cups and tablespoons on it. There was also a small copper jar with a sweet sll coming from.
"Yes ma’am!"
The two followed quickly. The other one took the tray and the other took the copper jar.
When the two left, Miss Vern looked around. Seeing that there was no one else around, she took the place of the two.
She was then spectating their young lady having a snack ti with her first love. Their young lady was an introverted person, so she didn’t have any friends. They were afraid that she would end up growing old without marrying anyone because of her personality.
But when she returned, they were stupefied. They heard that their young lady had co back along with a young man. After a long trip, she cos ho with a young man!? The maids could hardly believe the gossip that spread so quickly.
Looking at their young lady the way she looked at the young man, they knew for sure that their young miss indeed had a special feeling towards him.
At first, they were skeptical of this young man. Maybe he was so gold digger who conned their young miss. There were many like that, especially in big cities such as the capital. If that was the case, then they’d do everything in their power to throw him back to where he ca from.
But to their surprise, this young man turned out to be an aweso person. Even at such a young age, he had already received recognition from the emperor himself! One can only dream of eting the emperor personally even once in their life. If not in this life maybe in their next life.
Even Young lady Zoey was in favor of him. She was even the one who noticed Lady Zennie’s feelings towards the young man. Lady Zoey proposed to them and asked them to help her secretly help her younger sister realize her feelings.
And so, they told Zennie the famous quote: "The way to a young man’s heart is through his stomach."
She took the bait. And from then on, she eagerly wanted to learn how to cook.
On that day, Lady Zennie practices baking every day and night. And now is her debut. Looking at the young man.
While Zennie and Eman were having their snacks together, the maids ca with cups of hot drinks. They secretly sent a thumbs-up to Zennie. It looked like they were cheering for their young lady deep within their hearts.
Eman noticed their gestures but he seed indifferent to it.
After the delicious snacks with Zennie, Eman thanked her before he told her he’d go rest in his room for at least two hours.
Zennie worriedly asked if he was tired from what happened last night. Eman told her that he was not tired. He just wanted to catch up on sleep because he ca back a little late last night.
Hearing that, Zennie understood him. She nodded and told him to leave it to her. She would not allow anyone to disturb him. Eman was thankful to her.
When he entered his room, he quickly locked the door. He sent a telepathic ssage to Sol saying he’d enter the Lord’s Domain. Sol asked him if he needed her to co too. Eman said that there was no need; he just wanted to inform her.
Sol felt very happy that he valued informing her. It was as if they were like a wife and a husband.
