20 Chapter 20: Traveling To Visit An Old Friend (1/2)
Serafall left the Sitri residence to attend to her duties as one of the four satans, she was in charge of the underworld's foreign affairs.
Mournomon and the rest of her close family send her off, after which they just returned to there business. Lord and Lady Sitri weren't sad to see her leave since she visits them all too frequently some times even skipping on work to do so. In fact, they were happy to see her finally going to do her job again and even encouraged her to work hard to which she could only complain about how boring the work is.
...
Mournomon returned to the garden, looking around at the flora he smiled and went into the gardeners shed that was masterfully hidden under some vines as not to destroy the natural image its door the only thing to give signs of a building being there.
Entering the shed he grabbed a watering can and filled it with water from the tap that was conveniently placed inside the shed with a sink as to not destroy the immersive image in the garden. After filling the can with water Mournomon started walking around the garden, watering the plants and trees while humming. If not for his overbearing appearance it would have looked very tranquil, but unfortunately, it now appeared very out of place, seeing a giant of a man with horns on his head carefully watering flowers.
”It is nice to relax like this”, Mournomon thought while watering the plants, a peaceful smile gradually appearing on his face. After watering all the plants in the garden it was already late in the evening so he decided to head back into the mansion, arriving just in time for dinner.
After dinner, he went to the bathhouse of the residence, his eye's immediately lit up when he saw the bath and only one word could describe it, ”Huge!”
Mournomon enjoyed a luxurious bath where a lot of female servants were practically falling over each other to wash him and then returned to his room to rest.
...
Five months later.
Mournomon was sitting next to Lady Sitri, who was holding an almost one-year-old Sona. They were currently on a train on their way to the Gremory territory.
Lady Sitri had asked Mournomon the day before if he would mind accompanying her to visit an old friend of hers. She hadn't seen her friend since before she gave birth since she didn't want to travel while so close to her due date and then because Sona was very young.
Lord Sitri was unfortunately busy with business and she didn't ask for other guards since Mournomon could clearly protect her and Sona from any harm and if there was an enemy that even he couldn't deal with it would be pointless to ask anybody else.
They could have teleported with magic but Lady Sitri refused to do it saying something about Sona being too young and it might hurt her, so they took the train which would take two days seeing as it was almost on the other side of the underworld. Two days was quite fast if one were to check the distance that they had to travel.
