Chapter 524. The Morning Alarm
Chapter 524. The Morning Alarm
"Your sister is quite scary," Phiyona who had been silent from start to finish and hadn't said a single word, finally spoke up with a sigh of relief after Maya disappeared into the portal. She truly felt that Myne's sister had ill intentions toward her and the way she looked at her was the same as if she was looking at a corpse.
"Yes, she is, and what you've seen is just the tip of the iceberg. If you ever see her truly angry, you definitely won't dare to stay close to me..." Myne admitted, sitting beside Phiyona with a tired look. For him, dealing with Maya's doubts was far more difficult than fighting demons and ghosts.
At least with them, you know you're either going to die or survive, but with her, there's no guarantee of what might happen next. And most people fear the unknown more than death.
"Let's forget about her and find a suitable residence for you. By the way, do you prefer a luxurious hotel or a more casual house? Given your condition, I strongly recommend staying in a hotel. As long as you have money, there's no shortage of people willing to serve you." He said after thinking for a while.
"I don't have many preferences. As long as there's enough food, drink, and comfortable living conditions, I can stay anywhere." Phiyona, who had long gotten used to staying alone, replied indifferently, not minding where she stayed as long as it had sufficient living conditions.
"Good, then let's go, let me show you, your new room," Saying that, Myne lifted Phiyoa and opened a portal to the Silver Bell Pavilion in Adol Town, where Gwen and her mother were staying. As they walked out of the portal, Gwen saw a luxurious, well-maintained big room.
Myne laid Phiyona on the bed and covered her lower body with a blanket before giving her some general knowledge about the location they were currently in.
"So, one of your lovers is staying right across from me?" Phiyona asked with a playful smile. "What if she finds out about me? Don't you fear she might misunderstand you, thinking you're taking advantage of her, and only spending time with her because you are greedy for her young body?"
"What do you mean by 'finds out about you'?" Myne asked with a frown, flicking her forehead. "You're my secretary. What's there to be scared of? Also, don't have any bad thoughts about me. Until I heal you completely, I'm not going to lay a hand on you. I'm not a beast, and I have my boundaries.
So, get those naughty thoughts out of your head."
Although previously he really wanted to have some fun with her—the other party clearly more eager than him, but after meeting Maya, he remembered that his plate was already full. He had also vowed not to take any more lovers, so he regretfully gave up on her. After all, now he's a mature man with responsibilities for a big family on his shoulders.
After dealing with Phiyona's matter, Myne hurried to Garnet's bedroom and saw her sleeping with his clone, hugging him tightly with a satisfied smile. she seems having a good dream.
Myne quickly used his ring to make his clone disappear, then approached behind Garnet and gave her a hard smack on her round, bubbly butt, jolting her awake with fright.
"What! What happened?" Garnet, who had been having a beautiful dream, opened her eyes in confusion. She first looked to her side, wanting to wake Myne as well, but found that he wasn't on the bed. Then, she looked behind her and saw him, fully dressed, smiling at her.
"Good morning, beautiful!" Myne sat down in front of Garnet and spoke while handing her a glass of water.
"Good morning, my ass! Why did you wake me up so early? I was about to give birth to our child in my dream, but you ruined everything!" Garnet first looked outside the window and, seeing that it was still very early, her expression instantly darkened. She yelled at Myne, snatched the glass from him, and gulped down all the water.
"Sorry, honey, but I needed to report something important to Your Highness Queen Garnet," Myne, still in the mood to tease Garnet, said playfully while staring at her milky mountains.
"Huh? Since you're in such a hurry to report, it must be important, right? Tell me, but if it isn't anything serious, I will surely beat you to death," Garnet threatened while crawling toward Myne and sitting on his lap.
Myne chuckled at her threat and told her everything. Unlike Phiyona, whom he hid a lot of things, Garnet was a real family member and knew a lot of insider information, so Myne honestly told her everything, and when he finished, she jumped off his lap in shock and ran towards the wardrobe.
"Damn it," Garnet asked seriously. "Why did you waste so much time reporting this kind of serious thing? Do you have any idea what it means to have no ruler or guards in a city? Once people realize there's no one to look after them, they will all go crazy, and the city will soon fall into chaos.
And if what you said is true, and the city population is really reduced to one-tenth, then things will be even more serious." She continued to dress, although she rarely interfered with kingdom matters when her cheap husband was around. However, this didn't mean she knew nothing about politics and management.
On the contrary, she had more experience dealing with these kinds of things than her husband.
After hearing Myne's report, she could imagine how long the cooldown time before the fall of Ember Fall City would be. So, after getting dressed, she grabbed Myne's hand and hurried towards Aniue's room.
