Chapter 230: Chapter 230. Poor Myne...
"F*ck! Why is he here as well..."
"Yo, Brother-in-law, good afternoon! How are you?"
As Myne opened the door, he spotted Rector and his girlfriend's maid standing at the entrance of his garden, blocked by Ted's parents and discussing something with each other. Rector, upon hearing Myne's exclamation, greeted him with enthusiasm, a wide smile adorning his chubby face.
"Good afternoon my ass, this afternoon is not good at all," Myne sighed and mumbled under his breath while walking toward Rector.
"Why are you here? And why did you bring so many people with you?" Myne asked in a low voice, pulling Rector aside. He glanced at approximately 20 people in servant outfits and 10 royal knights, gathered around an oversized royal carriage, around three times bigger than a normal one, standing on its four giant iron wheels without any horses?
The carriage had side guards on all four sides, big enough for a person to stand on with ease. A big, weird-looking blue rod covered in dense, strange symbols sat on top of the carriage in a square shape, which anyone could hold while standing on the side guard
"I'm here for a night stay, just like Ayri, with my elder sister and you. And these people are the operators of this power carriage made by my mother. It runs on magic energy and is three times faster than any normal carriage pulled by horses. However, due to the massive energy it requires, I had to bring this many people to act as a power source.
It's still in the prototype stage, which is why it's so large. You won't believe the lengths I had to go to persuade my mother to let me have it. I begged at her feet and cried until my eyes turned red, did she show some mercy and give it to me."
"Okay, boys, you can go back now, and remember, no matter what happens, you can't let anything happen to this carriage. Otherwise, you will be in deep trouble. This is my mother's most precious toy, you understand what I mean, right?" Rector after finishing his explanation.
He turned his head toward the carriage operator and his knight guards and spoke with a deadly serious expression while making a head-cutting gesture with his index finger.
"Yes, Your Highness, we will not let anything happen to it. You can rest assured," The Royal Knight Leader assured pounding his fist on his chest while sweating bucket after seeing Rector's gesture.
"Huh? What are you waiting for? Make haste, everyone back to your seats. Start the carriage; we are going back..."
Soon, all operators and knights sat down in the carriage at their designated places. With a loud sound like "vroom vroom vroom," the carriage started shaking and slowly moved. In front of Myne's surprised and shocked gaze, it sped up and disappeared from everyone's view.
"F*ck, so cool! I also want one for myself, but of course not as big as this monster just a regular version. With my huge amount of magic energy, I can make it run as much as I want," Myne thought, his eyes sparkling with excitement and greed at the thought of having a power carriage for himself.
"Brother Myne, your mouth is drooling," Rector said, seeing Myne's greedy expression. He nodded with satisfaction, when he first saw the power carriage walking on its own without the help of any horses, he had the same expression as Myne does now."
"Huh? Oh, sorry," Myne inquired, "Do you know how long it will take your mother to finish this carriage? I wanted to get a carriage like this for myself as well," he added, while attempting to calm his excited heart.
"Maybe never. Mother stopped working on this carriage a long time ago because she couldn't find any alternative power source to move this type of carriage. After searching for quite some time, she abandoned this project." Rector shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.
"What! But didn't you say this is your mother's new toy? How did it suddenly become an abandoned project?" Myne asked in disbelief. Just a moment ago, he had been dreaming of riding a horseless carriage, and now Rector had poured cold water on his dream.
"That was just to scare those knights so they wouldn't mess around with the power carriage and harm it in any way. They'd bring extra trouble for me. You know my mother's temper, she's not as gentle as Big Mother, who can overlook our small mistakes. She hits first and listens later.
So, I don't want to take any chances and threaten them directly," Rector casually explained as he walked towards the house.
"That's alright, but why did you bring your little lover with you? What did you all, brothers and sisters, take my house for? A palace?" Myne grabbed Rector's collar, pulling him back towards him and asked with an angry look, pointing at Luna, who was curiously looking at flowers in the garden.
"What! Brother Myne, how can you say such a thing? How did this thought come to your mind that I would leave my Luna behind on such a wonderful journey, far from my mother's sharp and always suspicious eyes, where we could do whatever we wanted? Brother Myne, I didn't expect you to be such a person. I always considered you my wingman, but you turned out to be so cheap and narrow-minded.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, shame on you. Luna, let's go. We shouldn't spend time with narrow-minded people who can't understand our feelings," Rector said, looking at Myne with a disgusted expression as he walked into the house.
"Now this brat is getting on my nerves," Myne, with a blank expression on his face, took a deep breath to calm down his anger and walked into the house as well.
After entering the house, what greeted Myne were loud noises. Sylphy and Ayri were talking, or more specifically, questioning Rector about why he was there. Aisha was speaking with Luna about whom Myne had already told her and Sylphy, thanks to his big mouth. Now, both of them knew about Rector's little secret love life.
Amy was standing silently in a random corner, looking completely out of place with an awkward, shy smile. Clearly, she had no idea what to do. In the background, Waffle and Ted were moving slowly and stealthily, hiding from everyone's eyes as they walked toward the kitchen. It seemed like their raiding plan was complete, and now they were going to take action.
"Great, now after this I hope no one else comes knocking on my door for a night's stay. After my mother and father's death, this might be the first time I've had so many visitors in my house. Sigh, where will I put all of them to sleep?" Myne thought, rubbing his head with a headache.
"Can you hear me, Myne?"
While Myne was contemplating the bedding problem of his uninvited guests, Fenrir's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Yes, what happened?" Myne asked with a frown, not expecting Fenrir to contact him just as he was hoping for some peace and quiet. Your next read awaits at m v|l-e'-NovelBin.net
"Huh? Why are you speaking in such a tense voice? Are you okay? Do you have a problem you can't solve? Just tell me, maybe I can help," Fenrir inquired with genuine concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Fenrir. It's not a big deal. Sylphy's younger sister and brother came to my house for the night, and I was thinking about their bedding situation when you called. You don't need to worry about it. So, why did you call me?" Myne asked with a helpless sigh.
On the other side, Fenrir, upon hearing Myne's question, fell silent for a moment, only recovering when her two children put their paws on her, staring at her with their big, watery eyes.
Upon seeing her children's sad yet hopeful faces, Fenrir made up her mind and spoke to Myne calmly, "I see. It's not a significant issue, then. By the way, could you quickly open a portal to my home? There's a small matter on my side that I'd like to discuss with you."
"Hmm? Alright, I'm on my way." Hearing that Fenrir, his staunchest backer, was facing a problem, Myne quickly adopted a serious expression and opened a portal to Fenrir's cave without any hesitation.
"Boys, here it is, go, go, go, don't look back, hurry up. We can't let Myne come here." Seeing the portal opening in front of her, Fenrir urged her two excited boys, who rushed into the portal with all their might like bullets without listening to the other half of Fenrir's sentence.
On the other side, Myne only put one foot inside the portal when Little Fenrir No.1 crashed onto his stomach with his headbutt at full speed, making Myne's eyes literally pop out from their socket from impact, he bent down a little with arms wide open before sending flying backwards with a 'Whoosh' sound and plastering him to the wooden wall behind.
BANG!
Poor Myne didn't even react from the first collision when Little Fenrir No.2 rushed out from the portal as well. He smashed his little body into Myne as if considering him a pillow to stop himself.
"BOOM!"
Thanks to such a horrific collision, Myne directly broke through the sturdy wooden wall behind him and fell into his garden, life and death unknown.
"WHAT!!!"
"What happened?!"
"Cough, why is there so much dust? I can't see anything."
"Wait, I think I saw Brother Myne flying?"
"What!?"
"F*ck, who broke the wall?"
"Hey, why is there a portal here?"
"Forget about the portal, find Myne!"
"Sorry, let's go outside and see what the hell is going on!"
One after another, everyone reacted and started speaking together, making everything chaotic. But soon, they all came back to their senses and hurriedly walked out from the small hole in the wall to see Myne's whereabouts.
"Oops, it seems like they messed up everything. I hope Myne won't be too angry," Fenrir, who heard everyone's chaotic voices, smiled with embarrassment and quickly closed the portal forcefully to prevent it from consuming Myne's magic energy unnecessarily, which he might need most now to recover from his injuries.
