Chapter 35 (1/2)

Liszt had no idea what was on the maid’s mind.

He was not interested in an irresponsible relationship in someone’s castle, either. His body was only sixteen years old. According to the laws of his home world, eighteen was the threshold of adulthood, and a man could not be married until twenty-two.

So, he should focus on building himself up. His former self was a loser, but Liszt was confident in becoming a sky knight now with his aptitude and the help of the misty missions. Chances were that he could even ride a dragon later on.

Dragon knights were the most destructive warriors in this world.

I cannot drop the training of Dragon Drill and Furious Fire. Although I don’t have to go to the battlefield, I must be able to protect myself.

…

The lunch was only for the family of Taro Castle. Mesiro and his wife were outside, and the grandfather and grandson were the only two in the castle right now.

As a result, the two of them and the Tulip siblings were the only people at the table.

Marquis Merlin was on a wheelchair because it was inconvenient for him to walk. The food here was better than that in Tulip Castle, as indicated by the fine white bread on the plate.

Liszt took a bite of the white bread. It was fluffy, delicious, and tasted more like cake than bread.

The wine served was also far more precious than New Moon.

As dinner trays were revealed one after another, the courses were as copious as those during an important festival in Tulip Castle.

However, the atmosphere was rather cold despite the abundant cuisine.

The marquis was solemn and used to be a powerful man. Both Levis and Lvera were rather restrained before him.

Liszt was quiet, too. Although he did not feel that they were incredible, it was still not easy to chit-chat with strangers.

So, he decided to focus more on the delicious food.

The rock lobster with mayonnaise, in particular, attracted his attention.

After finishing a plateful, he ordered another one.

“Rock lobster is a specialty of Red Crab Island. Most of them are caught by the fishermen and delivered to the castle.” Mayop had the bread and said, “If you like them, I’ll have someone prepare a batch of living lobsters for you.”

“I don’t think it’s easy to transport them. The road between Taro Castle and Flower Town is too long. It will take at least five days for me to return.”

“Actually, it’s very easy to keep rock lobsters alive. You need only spray some water on them. With the bloodline of sea monsters, they are not so vulnerable.”

Liszt certainly did not object to it. “All right, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Mayop smiled. Of the three Tulip siblings, Liszt was the closest to him, perhaps because they had similar appearances.

Listening to their conversation, the marquis suddenly said, “Liszt, tell me about Flower Town.”

“Grandpa, life in Flower Town is really boring.”

“You can introduce the history and the environment to me.”
