When Veirya went to contact Lucia, I spun around and crouched down to look at Leah. I softly whispered in her ear, "Leah, Papa needs your help. Go to the chapel and bring Angelina here."
"Sister Angelina?"
As soon as I heard her refer to Angelina as 'Sister Angelina', my mouth twitched. However, I resisted the urge to smile. I looked at my daughter and touched her head, "Be careful, Leah. It's already dark outside. Papa can't call Angelina over, so Papa needs to entrust it to you."
"Uhm! Got it, Papa!! I'll make sure to bring her!!"
Leah seed very excited. She was very excited about running an errand for the first ti. She gave a firm nod. I touched her head with a smile then grabbed her clothes and helped her wear it on. Leah than wrapped her scarf around her neck. She looked at with her excited red eyes and happily said, "Got it, Papa! I'll definitely complete my mission! I promise!"
"Okay, okay, okay, Leah, I trust you."
I stroked Leah's head with a smile. She opened the door and went out. It was dangerous to let Leah go out alone at night, but it was a fact that I couldn't go look for Angelina. If Verya knew that I went to call Angelina over for dinner, Veirya would very likely punish .
Lucia was all right, but Angelina was a big no. Her relationship with Vierya had always been beyond poor. Veirya didn't want to have anything to do with Angelina; but nonetheless, the biggest issue right now was that I needed Angelina. I needed her to et with Veirya without them knowing. Both of them might have the sa brain, but they weren't very skilled at dealing with abrupt situations. All I needed was for them to indistinctly slip so news.
"I've contacted her."
Veirya ca over with a dal in her hand. I lingered for a mont before responding, "I thought you left to go find Lucia."
Veirya shook her head, "Lucilia can't be found. I can contact. Her with this dal. She'll be here soon."
"Your dal has that function?!"
"Yes. Magic."
Veirya's reply was very simple. By the sounds of it, magic existed in this world, but it didn't look as though humans could use it, unfortunately. It must've been an innate ability for elves. The dal was made with the combined efforts of dwarves, elves and humans. It allowed adventurers to contact each other.
"All right."
Veirya didn't say anything else. I went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. There were going to be a lot of people at dinner for the first ti, so I needed to prepare properly. I went through the cupboards to grab so food. When I was about to prepare it, I felt sothing warm behind . Startled, I turned my head around to see Veirya standing behind with an expressionless face. Her body was firmly pressed up against mine due to the kitchen being squishy. She silently looked at . I waft her scent. My heard began to race at the sight of her pretty face. I blankly looked at , and she looked back at .
I gulped my saliva. I tried to suppress my racing heart and bring my emotions under control. I looked at Veirya and softly asked, "Wh-What's the matter?"
"Teach ."
Another very simple response from Veirya. She was very calm as she looked at . She then pointed to the vegetables and bread next to , "Teach to cook."
"Why do you want to learn to cook all of a sudden?"
I looked at her with an astonished look.
'Why does Veirya want to learn to cook out of the blue? The thought never crossed her mind before.'
As I pondered to myself, Anna ca downstairs. She wiped her hands that she just tidied the house with as she ca to the kitchen. As she walked, she said, "If guests are coming tonight, I shall h-, ah"
Veirya and I turned our heads to look at her at the sa ti. When she saw the two of us pressed up against each other, she gave us a stunned look then swiftly turned her head around. She awkwardly laughed, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't think you were there. It seems that you don't need my help with preparing dinner. Give it your best! I shall take my leave now!"
Seeing swiftly Anna run off in the imdiate path that ca to mind, Veirya looked at with bafflent, "What's wrong with her?"
I dryly chuckled then helplessly smiled, "Probably misunderstood sothing."
Still baffled, Veirya pressed on, "What did she misunderstand?"
"She probably thought we were having an affair, wait, no. What affair? What am I even talking about?"
I made a careless slip of the tongue.
I, too, thought that we looked as though we were having an affair from the position we were in
My response sounded so shaless that my face started to burn up. Veirya was even more baffled after my answer. She tilted her head and looked at , "Your face is so red. What's it got. To do with having an affair? Also, what's an affair?"
"No, no, no, don't ask, don't ask. Don't worry about it Mm If you want to learn, I'll teach you later on. For now, I need to prepare dinner. We have quite a few people this ti, so I need to hurry."
Veirya's straight pitch left at a lost for what to say. I virtually couldn't speak. I quickly had Veirya leave. She obediently nodded, and then left the kitchen to return to her territory, also known as the dining table. I took in a deep breath to calm myself down.
It had beco harder and harder for to look Veirya straight in the face. I was okay in the past, but whenever she ca near now, my heart would race at the sight of her blue eyes.
I looked at my hands that were slightly shaking. I couldn't calm down. Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door. Veirya went over and opened the door. Lucia cheerfully ca in. She looked at Veirya with joy, "I heard there was dinner?"
"Uhm."
Veirya simply nodded then made way and went back to the dining hall. Lucia entered with light steps and dashed into the kitchen. She looked at . She doubtfully asked, "Your face is very red. Did sothing just happen? Also, I don't see Anna. Is Anna not here?"
"She is."
I nodded and dodged the first question.
"Anna left. After she saw us having an affair."
"Pffft!!!!!"
The fright almost led to throwing the pot in my hand away. Veirya turned her head to look at us with an innocent look. She very calmly put the word she just learnt to use. Lucia's expression stiffened up; then she looked at the two of us before smiling in a very mischievous way.
"No!! No! Lucia! That's not what it was!! It wasn't! That's a misunderstanding! It really is a misunderstanding!"
