Lord Shadow

Chapter 1161: To miss home and the people in it iv

There is also a room not far from the dining room where there in a wine rack arranged in a crisscross pattern.

Katarina have been drinking wine and there is a whole collection of it.

Of course to aged it requires winemaking processes, a process that is not entirely developed in the world of humans and elves but enjoys a surge of development during the period of this time as Katarina popularized it.

As for aging it, Azief manipulate the Time Laws so that she could enjoy it.

As such, there is a few hundred bottles of wine in the wine rack.

She said she likes the taste.

It takes a bit time for her to get used to it but she had been loving it ever since. And since she did not get drunk drinking it, Azief did not prohibit it.

Azief walks toward the dining table. The dining room itself have arches and dark hardwood flooring topped by an area rug.

As for the walls of the dining room it is decorated with gorgeous paintings and the large arched window bringing plenty of natural light in.

He sat on one of the chairs. The servant come to him and was about to tell him the menu for today when he asked

‘Where is Katarina? Did she already had breakfast?’ he tries to appear nonchalant.

And since he always had an expressionless face, the servant only thought that Lord Azief just wanted to know if the Lady had awakened and maybe he wanted to have breakfast with her.

The servants immediately answered him

‘The Lady said she would arrive in a minute’

‘Ah. So, she didn’t have breakfast yet?’

‘Yes, milord’

Thank you’ he said and he nodded to the servant.

The servant quickly retreated. Azief look at the servant for a second and then he looks back at the table.

Azief knows the servant. She is the head of the kitchen department. He knew a few servants in the Palace.

Since these people would be the staff of this palace, Azief take the time to know these people. Some of the staff is from the slave world and some are the slave that was already in the Seresian main world.

Unlike most lords, Azief treated the servant of the Palace with respect.

Since he too used to work in the service industry, he understands the difficulties of the people working in the service industry.

What he hated the most is rude customer.

He could bear it if the customer is ignorant.

What he could not bear is a rude one.

He provided service and customer provided compensation. But there are some things that one should not deserve to take no matter how much the compensation.

His respect won the love and admiration of the servant of the Palace. While they do not treat him like a friend because of the status differences, they absolutely like him.

Azief himself knows it is not because he is so likable that these people like him.

And it is not like Azief go out of his way to pretend to be kind. What he did was simply simple. Giving respect to people who deserve it.

The servant had a hard task and so he respected that

But the reason why the servants treated such a simple and sensible response with such love is because it is not that Azief is too kind but the world that they have lived before is too cruel.

Azief was waiting for the food, when he could feel a familiar energy signature coming to the door.

He frowns for a second before reverting back to his usual expression.

Then the sound of the door being opened from the other side of the dining hall could be heard and Azief simply smiles as he saw the person entering the room

Katarina strides into the room and as she saw him, she smiles

‘Good morning’

Azief smiles

‘good morning to you too’

Katarina sat on the opposite side from Azief. They look at each other eyes, both of them are smiling. They are actually both trying to appear normal.

But the more normal they try to appear to be, the more abnormal they seem to become.

Azief does smile a lot since he had been here. But his smile right now is unnatural. The same could be said for Katarina.

Katarina smile has always been very beautiful. And even though it is awkward it is still beautiful

But the awkwardness is there.

‘Hi’ Azief said and he almost slammed his palm onto his forehead.

Most of the time when he felt awkward he would always say hi.

And Katarina also said Hi like she got caught in the pace and then they both avert their gaze from each other

Something actually happened last night. that was the reason why Azief who had rarely sleep like a human, went to sleep last night

As it turns out, Katarina also went to sleep mode last night. And both of them stay on their bed even after they got up.

Both of them try to avoid each other but in the end here they are.

Of course Katarina could choose other places to eat. After all this is not the only dining hall in the Palace

But this is the place where she had always eat her food for the last five months.

If she suddenly changes this habits, especially after last night she wonder what Azief would think of her

She had hoped that Azief had woke up early and already eaten.

Of course, for today, they still have to meet because one of the things that Azief had asked her to do had been accomplished.

But, at least she didn’t want to look at Azief face during breakfast because she fears it would make her remember what happened last night and make her blush again.

She is still shy and she still didn’t understand what she is feeling right now after last night. She felt quite confused and it is better for her to sort her thoughts first

In the end, they still meet each other.

Trying to avoid each other, they both wake up late and Azief even uses that time to think all kinds of problems trying to delay to wake up but by doing so, they met each other.

If Azief simply wake up and was not trying to predict Katarina movement he would have eaten first and then in the afternoon, they could meet to discuss about the Seresian world development.

They try to act like nothing happened. Yet, the more they try, the more obvious it became. Katarina is blushing red on her cheeks and Azief tries not to show any face expression.

The servants that is standing by on the dining room all smiles but they try not to make it obvious.

They know that the relationship between these two people is not so simple.

To the servants of this Palace, they are truly grateful for Lord Azief and Lady Katarina.

To them, and to the rest of the population of humans and elves in this new world that they have been brought to, these two people are not mortals.

But Gods.

That feeling is particularly felt by Raiyah. Raiyah is the head steward in charge of the kitchen. She is also once a slave of one of the Doge of Prancina.

She was a witness of the Descend. That is what the people of her world had been calling what happened nine months ago

Life was as usual in their world before the arrival of the Goddess.

In that usual day, Raiyah was doing her job in the mansion of the Doge of Prancina when suddenly the sky breaks open and a cold wind blows all over the world.

And there were ships.

But unlike ships that she had seen in the prosperous harbor of Prancina, these ships are floating in the sky.

Imagine her shock and disbelief at that time.

Most of the ship in the sky are black as the night. And there was a woman, a Goddess descending down from the Heavens

Accompanying her was the oncoming of winter. The winds blow cold air and falling from the skies are snows that is as sharp as sword.

Prancina had never snowed. But that day, whether it be the dessert of the Tarrakians, or the plains of Valeria they snow.

The whole city of Prancina was shocked.

Some people thought She was the Devil. Some thought she is one of the Goddess of the pantheon of those people in the Weibarr Empire

She simply came and then thousands of floating ships flew in the sky
