Chapter 724: The Tundra's Mother Wolf
"Howl-Farewell~"
Unaware that she had become the center of attention at the banquet, the female cleaner, having swallowed a cake softer than a sponge, licked the cream cheese from the corners of her mouth and pitifully said,
"Can't I really have another piece? You know, I'm..."
"No!"
Lyon gestured for her to stop, then sighed and said,
"I know you have the Glutton Bloodline, and seeing that you'd be miserable if your appetite wasn't satisfied, I've already ordered another portion for you. The newly replaced cake tower will be needed later, so you can't touch it!"
"So stingy!"
Hearing this, the female cleaner disappointedly leaned back in her chair and complained, covering her stomach,
"When I came in, your people said I could eat whatever I wanted, and I could take any food. Why are you going back on your word now?"
"This is different."
Seeing the female cleaner sneak glances at the cake tower from time to time, clearly not giving up, Lyon had to explain,
"If it were something else, you could eat as much as you like. But this is the cake for the banquet, and it's technically part of the ceremony, so we have to follow the rules and finish it properly before eating."
"Oh..."
After hearing Lyon's explanation, the female cleaner nodded in understanding and then, feeling a bit embarrassed, covered her stomach and said,
"Now I get it. If that old man had explained it properly instead of chasing us away with a stick right off the bat, I might not have tied him up."
That's not something she could say.
Lyon couldn't help but roll her eyes at this. She thought to herself, when the new cake tower was brought out, your eyes lit up, more excited than Melanie seeing her allowance. After I stopped you, your entire soul started to 'mourn'.
If I hadn't reacted quickly enough to notice your unusual state and scraped some leftover cake from the tower to feed you a couple of bites, I think you would've cried right here.
"No, I'm being serious!"
Sensing Lyon's distrust, the female cleaner hummed twice and then, with effort, straightened her body to explain,
"I have two unique bloodlines. Although it's hard for me to control the appetite brought on by Gluttony, with the help of the Calm Bloodline, I can force myself to calm down... See, I'm very calm right now, aren't I?"
"You're kidding!"
Lyon couldn't help but sarcastically retort,
"A cake meant for 150 people, devoured by you alone, and you're telling me you're calm? You're not calm; you're stuffed!"
"..."
Hearing that, she realized she might indeed be a bit too full...
The female cleaner rubbed her stomach sheepishly, then hummed and leaned back in her chair, whispering with embarrassment,
"Lyon, could you get me some mint cake or ginger tea? Or maybe some plum dried fruit... I... I feel a bit uncomfortable from overeating..."
"..."
Serves you right! Always wanting to eat everything you see!
Although Lyon wanted to tease her further, the female cleaner's petite and flat figure, with a small ring of baby fat still on her chin, combined with her carefree personality, gave her the air of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old middle schooler.
Lyon, having lived two lives, was at least twice her psychological age. Seeing the female cleaner's discomfort from overeating, he couldn't bear to leave her here like a corpse. Instead, he got up and headed towards the dining counter to get her something to aid digestion.
Sniff... He's so kind!
Feeling touched that Lyon was putting aside their past differences to get her food, the female cleaner sniffled and called out to his back,
"Lyon! When you come to the Northland, I'll treat you to roast camel! My brother is an expert at grilling meat, and you'll love it!"
"Princess Melisande..."
Just as the female cleaner was making her heartfelt promise, a familiar voice filled with resentment suddenly sounded from behind her, startling her so much that she shivered.
Looking at the female cleaner who turned around in panic and stared at him in shock, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Northern Kingdom couldn't help but sigh and ask, "Could you please explain to me what you were doing just now?"
"...I was just..." How did so many people appear in an instant? Did you finish your discussion so quickly?
"Your Excellency Stamo!"
Before the female cleaner could react, the dark and skinny Prince Lucian of Morana Kingdom spoke up with a strained expression, "You told me that our two countries were sworn enemies due to the conflict over Lyne Port and Snow Mountain Pass. But you..."
I... I don't know what's going on either!
"This is a despicable deception!"
The Northern Sea Commander of Saeo Kingdom, his face filled with anger, scolded, "Stamo! I agreed to work with you because of the trust built over the past twenty years of cooperation! But you secretly colluded with them behind our backs?"
"Your Excellency Stamo, the foundation of cooperation is honesty, but you seem to lack this quality."
"Your Excellency Stamo! You must give us an explanation for the current situation!"
"Stamo! Are you worthy of us? You traitor! Break the alliance!"
"No... Everyone, please calm down! Please calm down first! We will definitely provide an explanation!"
Facing the accusations, taunts, and stern rebukes from the various envoys, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, at a loss for words, felt as if he had fallen into a sauna, his body drenched in sweat from the increasingly intense words around him.
After finally calming down the agitated envoys, the flustered Minister of Foreign Affairs quickly turned back to the female cleaner sitting in the chair and urged her anxiously, "Your Highness Melisande! It's high time for you to take a stand!"
Although she had the ability to instantly knock everyone down, the female cleaner was still just a teenager, and being stared at by a group of intimidating middle-aged men made her scalp go numb.
Unconsciously, she shifted her bum back a little and looked at the envoys staring intently at her, feeling a bit flustered. She asked in a timid, small voice, "What kind of stand should I take?"
"You need to declare your position and tell everyone which side you're on!"
"Then... am I on your side?"
"...Well, it seems this declaration isn't going to work."
Seeing the Minister of Foreign Affairs' extremely speechless expression, the female cleaner, whose intelligence had recovered significantly after eating, couldn't help but smile awkwardly. She then realized what these people wanted.
"I'll say it again."
Taking a deep breath and sucking in her slightly protruding belly, the female cleaner, now looking more like a princess, raised her right hand and spoke solemnly, "I am the Princess of the Northern Kingdom! I am the mother wolf who roams the tundra! I swear by my surname that I will only leave my enemies with the coldest..."
"Here, your ginger tea."
"Oh! Thank you."
Turning around in surprise, the female cleaner took the cup handed to her by Lyon from behind and returned a sweet smile. Then, she turned back and continued with a cold and solemn expression, "I will only leave my enemies with the coldest gaze and the sharpest fangs!"
