"What's going on!"
Lette rushed up to the second floor with a group of burly Black Knights at the fastest speed.
They found Emily standing in the master bedroom, holding a piece of children's clothing, her eyes shining.
"So cute! Look, I bet she made this herself!"
Lette's vision blacked out as he instinctively held onto the door fra.
It's just that this master bedroom, like the living room on the first floor, was decorated to look like a dreamy wedding room.
There were two pillows on the bed, with a clear implication.
A double bathtub was placed in the bathroom, with an obvious intended use.
In the closet next door, children's clothes of all sizes and ages were neatly arranged.
"And these little socks! Look! Aren't they adorable?"
Kertes and the Black Knights looked at each other, choosing to remain silent.
Cute as they might be, they were afraid of further agitating Lette.
Gritting his teeth, Lette pointed at Emily, "Who let you into the master bedroom? The guest room is the second room on the left after the stairway.
Moreover, how can you run around without the owner's permission? As a noble, have you forgotten even this basic etiquette?"
"The guest room is unlivable, so I just wandered around."
"Impossible, that room, though a guest room, is only slightly smaller than the master bedroom."
Emily suddenly had a mischievous smile, "Don't believe ? Let's take a look!"
"Wait! I suddenly don't want to look!"
She imdiately pulled Lette to the guest room without any further ado, followed by a crowd of curious onlookers.
With a snap, Emily pushed open the guest room door, revealing four neatly arranged cribs.
It turned out that this guest room had long been converted into a nursery, no wonder Emily claid it was unlivable.
Emily waved a little sock in front of Lette with one hand, while patting his shoulder with the other.
"That's wonderful, Lord Lette! She's planning to have four children for you! You'll be so busy in the future!"
Lette gazed at the four cribs, his eyes hollow.
"I don't think so!"
Suddenly, the disciplinary black knight captain Kertes, who had not spoken, stepped forward and solemnly pointed out the flaw in Emily's words!
"If it's just having four children, then only one or two cribs would be needed! After all, once the child grows up, the crib can be used for the next sibling!
Having prepared four at once implies that Her Highness Joanna intends to have quadruplets for Lord Lette!"
"Oh! That makes sense!"
"As expected of the captain! Spot-on analysis!"
"Actually, I thought so too, but the captain beat to it!"
Emily was evidently unconvinced, "What a joke? Quadruplets?! Even twins depend on luck! Are you saying there'll be quadruplets just like that?"
"Miss Emily, please do not doubt the great ability of the Holy Light Goddess. For divine officers of the level of Lord Lette and Her Highness Joanna, the Goddess shall offer special protection.
Moreover, the offspring of the two have a high probability of inheriting extraordinary Holy Light talent.
For the future of the Holy Light Church, Lady Goddess will surely provide the greatest support!"
Emily pouted, "Alright! You win! But from the color and style of the baby clothes, I've already deduced the genders of the four children!"
The Knight Captain's interest was imdiately piqued, "Oh? Really?! Please, do tell!"
Lette gripped his Holy Sword Sin Light tightly in one hand, stroking the blade as he hoarsely muttered.
"If I were to kill you all, would the backyard be able to bury you?"
Unfortunately, Sin Light found the remark underwhelming and chose to play dead, ignoring Lette's call.
"Boss! I've brought wine and at! Oh, strange... where is everyone?"
Hearing Taylor's call, Lette sheathed his Holy Sword with a dark expression and glared at them nacingly.
"Enough! Stop right there! All of you, go to the backyard! Today I will personally cook barbecue for you!
But if you spread what you saw today...
I guarantee, at the next gathering, it will be you who are roasting on the rack!
Got it?"
The Black Knights imdiately stood at attention, "Yes, Your Highness! We'd never tell a soul!"
Emily sheepishly chuckled, knowing her recent joke went a bit too far, and nodded in agreent.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely not say a word."
Lette couldn't be bothered to argue and personally ushered them out. Taylor, seeing everyone co down, hurriedly greeted them.
"Hey? Why did you guys go to the second floor? And why is the first floor such a ss?"
Lette looked at him with frustration, approaching and hooking his arm around his neck.
"About my house getting remodeled by your sister, were you involved?"
"What? Boss, did my sister remodel your house? Really?! I had no idea!
She really went too far, taking advantage of helping you organize the estate to ss with your house!
I despise her! Bleh!"
Taylor pounded his chest, "Boss, you know ! Between you and my sister, I avoid siding with either.
I've always kept absolute neutrality in your affairs!
She knows this, so she never involves in such things!"
Lette looked at him skeptically, "Really? Why am I finding it hard to believe?"
Taylor imdiately placed his hand over his heart, "I swear by the Holy Light Goddess! I have never helped my sister with your house! Otherwise, I shall suffer Divine Punishnt!"
Lette was touched and patted his shoulder, "Good brother! Let's go, we shall have barbecue!"
"Great, we're in for a treat today! Boss, to be honest, since you left, I rarely had barbecue over the past three years.
None of the chefs in any restaurant compare to your cooking!
This ti I've brought a lot of ribs and so vintage wine, let's drink to our heart's content!"
"Indeed, this is the barbecue skill from my hotown, truly a one-of-a-kind!"
Lette and Taylor, arms around each other, called out to the others, "Let's go, let's go! There's nothing a barbecue can't solve!
Today, I'll show you my expertise!
I guarantee, after one skewer you'll want a second, after the second, a third..."
Lette led everyone to the backyard of the estate, finding his specially designed barbecue grill.
Emily noticed that Lette's custom grill was indeed different from the usual ones, it was longer.
After setting up the grill, Lette took out several Fire Elent Crystal Stones and activated them, throwing them into the grill as a fire source before starting to prepare the marinade.
"Ti is tight, couldn't marinate the at, otherwise, it would taste even better."
Stirring the sauce, Lette nodded his chin towards Taylor, "Get the brothers to cut the at and skew it."
"Right away, Boss!"
Taylor and his group were all Holy Knights by training, so handling this was a piece of cake.
For the Black Knight Guard, dining with the two Apprentice Saint Heirs was an unparalleled honor.
To be associated with them was a great boon for their future promotions and advancent.
It wasn't necessary for the two heirs to say anything, just hinting at this achievent was enough to signal others on how to proceed.
Miss Emily looked around and quietly sidled up to Lette.
"So, what should I do?"
"You?"
"What? I am not the type of noble who only indulges in pleasure, I can handle basic household chores! I even have a signature dish!"
Lette raised an eyebrow, "Then go cut so fruit or sothing, you'll use it to cleanse the palate and quench thirst later. Usually, this is Lilith's task."
"Speaking of which, didn't you send a ssage to Lilith? She still hasn't arrived, did sothing happen?"
Unexpectedly, Lette chuckled, "Missing her? Just wait and see!"
Saying that, Lette grabbed two skewers of at, placing them on the grill. He then picked up a brush, applying a thick coat of sauce.
An enticing aroma of grilled at imdiately wafted into the sky, mingling with light smoke.
In less than half a minute, a purple cloud caught the scent and arrived, landing and transforming into a human form—it was Lilith after not seeing her for so days.
"Gosh! You guys are having a barbecue without inviting !"
