Chapter 521: Nabeh: I Never Expected Lord Yecheng to be a Lolita-Con...
Chapter 521: Nabeh: I Never Expected Lord Yecheng to be a Lolita-Con...
In the imperial capital of the Bahar Empire, Owenthal, inside a cake shop, Lord Yecheng couldn't help but smile wryly as he watched Nabeh, who was sitting across from him, eating cake with a slight smile on her face.
No one asked how Lord Yecheng and his group obtained the currency of this world; it was taken from the man who had previously tried to flirt with Nabeh.
Gazing at the exceptionally grand imperial palace in the city center, Lord Yecheng had considered directly contacting the Emperor, the Blood Emperor, but doing so might arouse suspicion.
Just as Lord Yecheng sighed inwardly, he suddenly noticed a pair of twin girls with golden hair outside the cake shop, staring at the exquisite cakes in the shop with wide-eyed envy.
These two little girls were probably only eight or nine years old, dressed in blue and pink dresses, their features as adorable as porcelain dolls.
Despite being unaccompanied, their attire suggested they weren't from a poor family, and they shouldn't have shown such longing for something as simple as cake.
Perhaps out of curiosity or drawn by the twins' conversation, Lord Yecheng found himself inching closer without realizing it.
"Big sister has been working outside for many days and hasn't returned. Guitilika, do you think she'll come back today? Will she forget our birthday?" The girl in the pink dress asked her twin sister with a hint of anxiety.
"Of course, she will! Big sister promised to bring back cakes today, and she definitely won't forget our birthday!" The other twin replied confidently.
Listening to the twins' conversation, Lord Yecheng finally understood who they were from their brief exchanges.
Guitilika and Virelika—these names were likely unfamiliar to most who had watched the Bone King.
These adorable twins were barely even considered side characters in the show.
As for their sister, she was a minor character, but her death was quite tragic...
Althea Eve Lil Field—that was the name of the twins' older sister.
The name might not ring a bell for most people, but if they recalled the 'Four Schemers' who invaded the Necropolis, particularly the blonde girl who couldn't help but vomit upon seeing the Bone King, they might connect the dots.
"Little sisters, would you like some cake from here? I can give you the biggest cake in the shop, but in exchange, can you tell me something?" Lord Yecheng suddenly spoke up, startling the twins. They quickly regained their composure and looked at him with caution and vigilance.
They were in the imperial capital, and imperial soldiers patrolled the streets. Guitilika and her sister weren't worried about Lord Yecheng harming them, but their sister had warned them to be cautious around strangers.
"Don't be nervous. I mean you no harm, and I even know your sister, Althea. I'm also a worker in the empire, but since I'm from out of town, this is my first time in the capital. I'm not sure where the workers usually gather, so..."
When the twins heard that Lord Yecheng was a worker, their guard dropped significantly. Upon learning that he knew their sister and hearing her name from his lips, they completely let down their guard against him.
Two little lolis seemed to greatly admire and adore their older sister, and they believed that since Yecheng knew their sister, he couldn't possibly be a bad person.
Moreover, Yecheng's black hair and dark eyes were indeed unfamiliar to them, so they must have come from a distant land.
A few minutes later, two blonde lolis sat at the table where Yecheng and his group had just been, and in front of each of them was a beautifully crafted cake and a cup of tea.
Nabeh, who was eating cake, looked puzzled when she saw the two suddenly appearing human brats.
However, as she listened to Yecheng's conversation with the brats, her expression turned to one of relief and admiration.
'As expected of Yecheng, he chose to directly approach these foolish human brats for information instead of asking soldiers or adults, which could raise unnecessary suspicions.'
"I see, so the gathering place for workers in the Empire is this place called the 'Singing Apple Pavilion'?"
Althea, one of the 'Four Schemers' and a Spell Singer, would share stories with her two younger sisters whenever she returned home after earning money as a worker to repay her family's debts.
Thus, the two lolis knew quite a bit about the Empire's workers, and they provided Yecheng with valuable information.
As they were about to part ways, Yecheng kept his promise and bought the two lolis the largest cake in the store, and he also gave each of them a crystal pendant as a birthday gift.
After this gesture, Guitilika and Virelika's affection for Yecheng grew significantly. They bid farewell with "Brother Yecheng" and even invited him to their home that evening to celebrate their birthday with cake.
"Lord Yecheng, I don't quite understand. Weren't those two human brats just tools for you to gather information? Why did you give them such precious magical items?"
Indeed, the crystal pendants that Yecheng casually gave away were not ordinary accessories but magical items with automatic defense capabilities.
In his eyes, these items were no better than "Goblin General Flutes," mere third-rate trash. But in the human realm, they should be considered quite valuable, right?
"Reward for merit and punishment for fault, what's wrong with that? Besides, those two kids were quite likable. Who knows, we might meet again in the future."
Nabeh dared not question Yecheng's decision, but his comment about the kids being likable left her pondering.
She secretly wondered if Lord Yecheng preferred petite and cute types.
This was too... cough, it would be disrespectful to think this way about the Supreme Sovereign. One should say that his taste is quite unique.
However, thinking of those two lolis and then of Lady Satiya, who also adored Lord Yecheng, Nabeh looked down at herself and felt immense pressure.
Wait, her race was also a 'Dual Mirage,' capable of altering her appearance. Although her low job level currently restricted her to this form, in the future, she could transform into the loli that Lord Yecheng favored!
As she imagined herself as a black-haired loli, cuddling in Yecheng's embrace, Nabeh's face turned red, and steam rose from her head.
Such a scene was truly enviable!
