Chapter 431 - The First Stretch Of The Trip (2) (1/2)

The lycans had prepared quite a feast for us for lunch. The food looks unbelievably delicious.

”You have outdone yourself in preparing this for us, Belgor.” Regaleon said.

”It is not everyday that the emperor and empress of the empire visit one of our settlements.” Belgor replied. ”Preparing this much is still not enough. How about you stay here for the night and enjoy our hospitality.”

”Yes, I am sure that you will love it here.” Saniyah added. ”The pool is quite refreshing. I am sure that your little ones would enjoy playing and swimming.”

”I would like to take your offer but let me consult my wife first.” Regaleon replied. ”What do you think, my love?” He asked me.

”I guess having to spend the night is not so bad.” I replied. Seeing the water falling from the mountain side to the pool is a little inviting. I would love and go take a dip with Regaleon and the twins.

”Then it is settled.” Regaleon smiled. ”We will take you on that offer Belgor. We are in your care tonight.”

”Splendid!” Belgor roared happily with a wide smile on his face. ”Tell the other lycans to prepare the beddings for our guests. The pool will be available for all of our guest to use later.

”Thank you for the hospitality, Belgor.” I replied.

After the exchange of pleasantries, we started to eat the feast in front of us. The food tastes delicious, as delicious as its presentation on top of the table.

Because we are guests in the lycans settlement, we foregone table etiquette and ate with our hands as the lycans eat. This was the first time I have eaten without anu tableware, and I was a little hesitant at first.

”This is how lycans eat. At first you might think it is a little barbaric, but once you try it you will get used to it.” Regaleon said and started to eat with his hands. ”Try it, my love. I am sure you would get used to eat.” He smiled.

I looked around and saw the lycans eating happily around us. I also tried using my hands and got a chicken leg in front of me. I put it in my mouth, and I savor the juicy tastes of the chicken.

”The chicken is quite tasty.” I smiled with satisfaction.

”I am happy you like our cooking.” Saniyah replied. ”Here, try some of our stir fried vegetables.”

I so as Saniyah said and tasted it. I was amazed by the great taste. I have tasted many great foods from the place chef back in Grandcrest, but there is something different with food the lycans are serving.

”I think it is because of eating with your hands.” Regaleon replied to my silent question. ”When I first dined with the lycans and ate as they do, I was also surprised with the taste. The dishes are simple, but they taste so good. I think it is because of their eating habits and also eating with such a happy bunch.”

”I see.” I replied. ”I think you are correct.” I smiled.

We continued eating while talking with the lycans. We talked about various things about the continent.

When afternoon came, we let the twins have fun in the pool under the waterfall. They were so happy swimming while Tricia and the maid were taking care of them in the shallow part of the pool.

”Will you not go and take a dip?” Regaleon asked.

”Maybe a little later.” I replied.

”Belgor told me that there is a little private pool at the back of the waterfall.” Regaleon smiled mischievously. ”We can take a dip later tonight if you like.”

I blushed after Regaleon mentioned the private pool. I believe Belgor had offered Regaleon and I a private time and exclusive use of this pool. I do not need to guess what Regaleon has on his mind for our private time, his smile tells me everything.

”I would love that.” I replied with a sweet smile.

Having a private time with my husband is a great way to have in this trip. With our busy schedules back in the capital, we rarely have time for ourselves except for nighttime where we sleep together in our room.

”Then we can head that way at sunset.” Regaleon whispered to my ear. ”Belgor had given us the spot to ourselves the whole night. No one can disturb us.” I felt ticklish with his breath.

”T-Then, I will inform Tricia.” I replied. I can feel my cheeks burn. ”She can take care of the twins tonight.”

”I am sure that the twins will be very tired that they would sleep peacefully tonight.” Regaleon smiled. ”Look at them enjoying the water.”

I see the twins splashing with the water while Tricia and the maid are holding them. They were laughing merrily while playing.

”Your children are playing happily.” Saniyah walked toward us. She had a little boy walking by her side. ”This by the way is my youngest, Polo. Polo, say hello to his and her majesty.”

”Hello…” Polo greeted us with a huge smile.

”Hello, Polo.” I replied with a warm smile while Regaleon nodded his head as a greeting.

”Polo came here to ask something from you.” Saniyah said.

”Really?” I looked at Polo curiously. ”What is it you want to ask, little one?” I asked.

”W-Well… can I… um… play with the twins?” Polo asked shyly.

”You want to play with Alphonse and Aerith?” I asked and Polo nodded. ”Well of course you can. Just do not play roughly. They are still babies you see.”

”Of course, your majesty.” Polo said while smiling wide. ”I will be gentle.”
