BXBX NOVEL Chapter 424
The head maid felt like she was the owner of an inn after becoming an infirmary manager and previously a maid teacher.
Before Vincent and the others went back to the academy, one of the unused guest halls was filled with a shocking amount of objects brought from Ganni’s house.
Maid Xu would have fainted if Ganni didn’t tell her how he would take a couple of days off and help.
*Day 098 – 15 September – Monday*
*Day 099 – 16 September – Tuesday*
*Day 100 – 17 September – Wednesday*
*Day 101 – 18 September – Thursday*
*Day 102 – 19 September – Friday*
.....
*Day 103 – 20 September – Saturday*
A week passed in the blink of an eye after getting used to the repeating routines everyone had grown accustomed to.
Vincent had become more accustomed to absorbing mana from Ice Lance and more proficient in moving his body instinctively, while Ester made a lot of progress to form her first glyph.
Lilith kept using Minor Regen on Lupa and re-reading medical books, yet the healer class was the slowest class to learn spells. As for little Plow, she trained her tail control.
On the other hand, Iris was more focused on growing herbs and creating one to two Seed Guardians with five magic seeds every day instead of training. It took her a week of using a four-to-one seed ratio and many failures to create a growable hybrid seed after using Seed Rebirth on the vegetable grown inside the Seed Guardian.
After a vote, the new magic seed was called Lucky Cherry Tomato Magic Seed. It was made from cherry tomatoes and one Thyme Flower, which had a slight chance to increase mana.
Iris didn’t have enough Thyme Flowers in her collection to test out what it does, but after Vincent told her all the effects her collection of herbs had, growing one of her favorite food with the slight chance to help others was a goal she managed to reach.
Now all she needed to do was to use her mana to grow the growing sage apple trees and the first seed she created with the moral support of the others.
Lupa, as the manaless member of the family, trained restlessly with Vivid to pass the time. Her Primal Insight activated a handful of times, helping Lupa to begin grasping the trigger for its activation.
However, it felt as if Vivid had become her sparring dummy at a second glance because he had to sleep earlier to rest his body while Lupa recuperated quicker with Lilith’s help. Vivid was waking up tired every day while Lupa remained vigors until she closed her eyes to sleep.
Vincent had heard about what happened to Clair and Nick on Saturday after they left. He became angry that Kilo Blackheart started targeting those around him.
However, even though the situation sounded bad, a positive result occurred. Clair didn’t look cautious and afraid when standing not too far from Nick. Kazumi was already betting on her cupid carrier that the ship might to set sail soon.
Fortunately, they didn’t meet with Kilo Blackheart this week while going to their lessons or to the mailroom twice. Vincent received two to three pages every time, while Lilith received one page from her parents.
The content of the letters Maid Xu wrote was like a status report, and the content was split into multiple sections.
James and his wife left on Thursday after feeling better because the wife didn’t want to impose any further.
The wife was grateful for Vincent curing her and the good treatment and kindness everyone gave her. After thanking each person living in the mansion, with a slave mark or not, she later promised to bring the kids some sweet fruit.
Phil left the mansion a day later to return to their home and visit his sister every day.
Maid Xu mentioned how Phil cried when he saw his sister wake up without a fever and look more energetic than usual on Wednesday.
After Phil explained the situation, Grace wanted to personally ask Vincent next Sunday if she could remain in his people’s care while trying to assist her bothersome presence.
The last of the soldiers, vice-captain Ganni, helped with cleaning, arranging, and filling the two rooms he and his family was going to use. Ganni also offered any other unneeded objects to Sakura for dismantling.
Maid Xu also mentioned how Sakura slept in the workshop for a few days because of the unwanted objects Ganni left in front of the workshop.
Ganni’s wife, Marika, woke up on Monday, and after receiving a detailed explanation, she wore a maid outfit and helped with nursing James’s wife and Phil’s sister. Based on what Maid Xu wrote, Marika might be a good nurse after spending the last two years tending to Alice.
Additionally, Maid Xu wrote the word maid outfit with more ink. After Vincent and Kazumi pondered about the two bold words written with more ink, both guessed Maid Xu had to make an extra unplanned maid outfit.
However, Maid Xu didn’t mention how she went to buy fabrics to prepare in case Vincent brought more people to the mansion next Sunday. She overheard how the Lionheart family had suddenly changed after their only daughter became a widow and remarried a commoner in less than a month.
Many people talked about seeing a noble exiting a carriage with the Lionheart insignia and helping the families of soldiers. A few soldiers can now be seen proudly displaying a green lion’s head emblem on their armor.
Some people made the rumor that the Lionheart family might soon recuperate after ten years of downfall. Others made the rumor that the commoner was secretly a noble, and he was helping the Lionheart family grow from the shadows.
Maid Xu decided to leave the rumors out of the letter and focus on the essential details, or the mail bird might need to carry a bag of letters as time passed.
As the recollection of the past five days passed, Vincent woke up on Saturday morning and saw the sunlight illuminating his bedroom. He saw his wife’s arguing about something.
Kazumi explained how Lupa woke up intending to find Kilo Blackheart and bite his bum.
Vincent’s face almost lost color at the possibility of Lupa causing trouble. Lupa is registered as his familiar. Thus, demanding her death or worse isn’t a farfetched horrible possibility.
After a while, Vincent and his wives exited the mansion.
Plow was on Vincent’s shoulder, and she looked happy to see Lupa with a collar around her neck in her white wolf form. Ester was the one holding the leash. Lest she wanted her ear pulled, Lupa had no choice but to listen to Ester. This was the condition to join them.
Vincent and Lilith were about to say the command when Nick, Clair, Vivid, and Pussy approached them. Clair blushed as Pussy slyly pushed her to move closer to Nick while Vivid slightly to his side to force Nick to move closer to Clair slowly.
Kazumi was proud of the two helping a new couple to form. She felt a glare and looked forward. Jun Ye Rim was looking at them from behind a curtain.
Later, they all arrived at Paradise Island. After descending the volcano, they split into two groups.
Nick wanted to eat something good. He wanted to visit a food stall when Pussy suggested Clair could cook. Surprisingly, the blushing Clair nodded. The four of them went to buy ingredients from the small villager shops and cook in team ten house.
“I guess Clair has accepted Nick. ” Vincent said after watching them leave.
“Love works in wondrous ways.” Lilith excitedly said. A romantic story always brought a smile to her face.
Vincent hoped to visit the potion shop today. However, after spending a long time to arrive, the shop was closed, and a sign saying “Sold Out” brought a frown to his face. It was still in the morning, but after taking their time to arrive, someone bought all the potions in stock.
Ester, Iris, and Lilith surrounded Vincent and tried to cheer him up while Lupa and Plow competed on who showed the most affection by rubbing their heads on him.
[Vincent!]
*Bump* “Ouch.” Someone bumped into Lilith. She moaned in pain and almost fell if it wasn’t for Vincent’s quick reflexes.
[It’s Kilo Blackheart! He is targeting Lilith now.]
“Don’t block the road like a mountain, pig.” Kilo insulted.
Vincent became furious to see his wife first get injured and then insulted. He used his newly attained CQC foundation footwork and quickly brushed past his wives without them knowing.
*Tap* Vincent placed his hand on Kilo’s shoulder. He closed his hand with all the strength he could muster and *Crack.*
“Oh, good to see you, Mr toothpick.” Vincent released his hand and continued while acting confused, “I didn’t think you were so weak. I didn’t think your shoulder would make strange noises upon the faintest touch.”
[Well deserved. Karma isn’t kind to bastards like him.]
“Don’t harm my...”
[Vincent! Dodge! His servant is about to attack.]
“And who do you think you are to speak to a noble in this manner?” Vincent interrupted Kilo’s servant and released his dominating intent.
The lessons with Biro helped a lot in the past week as Vincent could control and direct his intent in a cone instead of a radius. Vincent didn’t need to fear unintentionally affecting his wives and little Plow.
Kilo and his servant felt a chill rush down their spine when the pressure reached them. They began to sweat, and their bodies tremble. The people looking at what was happening were surprised to see the well-known Kilo Blackheart looking like he was being bullied into submission.
