“I think you’ve been laughing a lot lately, my lord.”

Bordin came again today to submit his report.

He had been experiencing Athena’s various facial expressions recently.

If before, he only had a blank expression or a cold smile.

A variety of emotions were on her face now.

“Well…it definitely seems like that.”

Athena sighed deeply as she thought of her fox-like slave.

“But my patience is running out.”

I wanted to throw her under the bed as soon as possible and crush her to a pulp.

As he imagined Hera whining and telling him that she loved him, his stomach started to rumble again.

But the wall of Hera’s heart was thicker than expected.

Even though I’m only looking at myself now, I’m still stuck in a pit of loneliness, yearning for human affection.

It wasn’t that I was loving myself.

If that kid had been there when Hera collapsed, I wouldn’t be the one she was smiling at right now.

“Hehehe..Do you cherish that child that much?”

A sly smile appears on Bordin’s face at his question.

“It’s precious. It’s more precious than anything else right now.”

At first, I just wanted to have a beautiful jewel called Hera. But the more I talked to her and touched her body,

His feelings for her had grown uncontrollably, and now he didn’t want to let her leave his side even an inch.

This is probably love.

‘I never thought I would fall in love in my life… and to a woman at that.’

I thought I would never be able to give affection to anyone in my entire life.

Because I knew very well how selfish and self-willed human beings are.

I grew up feeling it deeply in my bones since I was little.

But Hera was different.

She was so clear.

A purity that draws people in.

When I was with her, I felt like even my dark side was brightening up.

So I won’t let you go.

If you don’t have confidence, it will make you unable to do anything and make you always look only at me.

‘It’s your fault, Hera.’

Who told you to wag your tail like that and seduce me?

This was all of her own doing.

Bordin quietly looked at himself with such an evil smile for a long time.

His expression was filled with emotion.

“….You finally got your hands on that precious thing.”

“Why do you seem to like it more than me?”

He squared his shoulders and smiled confidently.

“Of course! How much have I been running around on my own two feet to satisfy my lord’s interest? Hehe. This Bordin. I am infinitely satisfied that I have finally found my lord’s happiness.”

Well, it was he, and no one else, who always brought me news that I would be interested in.

The reason I got to know Hera was because of the video he brought.

Is it really true that Hera gave rise to various emotions as he said?

I felt a little gratitude towards him, even though I had never felt any feelings towards him before.

“Phehe. Right. Now that I think about it, it was thanks to you that I met Hera. Thank you.”

Bordin was momentarily dumbfounded by his own words.

“My lord… would you like to say thank you…?”

He expressed his emotion by covering his mouth with both hands.

“Don’t exaggerate.”

Bordin’s face suddenly became calm as if nothing had happened.

” Then. Can I withdraw the order now? The servants are starting to feel guilty towards the young lady.”

The order he gave to everyone in this mansion.

I will make Hera into someone who can’t do anything without help.

I will drive her so that she cannot trust anyone, including herself.

I will isolate her completely.

Her own orders that ruined her in an instant.

“No. Keep going.”

I was just starting to look at myself, and now I have to withdraw. That couldn’t be happening.

The only person she had to rely on right now was herself. She didn’t want to give anyone else any room to do so.

The moment Hera truly submits to him, then he will withdraw his orders.

“Yes, I will do that.”

Bordin immediately agreed without saying anything and added:

“Ah. It is said that the number of monsters near the empire has been increasing rapidly recently.”

“Huh?”

“There are rumors in the palace that it seems to be a sign of something, but nothing has been clearly revealed yet.”

It was a story that didn’t really interest me.

There’s a lot of work to be done anyway.

No matter how self-willed he was, his status was higher than that of anyone else except the emperor.

There was so much work to do that I didn’t have the heart to worry about the monsters.

“Not interested. Any other stories?”

” Hehe. I thought so. Instead, how about this news? ”

He quietly reminded himself with a solemn expression.

“The young lady is said to be cooking alone in the kitchen.”

“….what?”

“I heard from the chef that he will be making dinner tonight.”

“…..”

Hera?

Dinner?

For a moment, the words she had said repeated in my head.

– Do you have a favorite food?

– Do you have anything to do in the evening?

– Then… let’s have dinner together.

Her behavior was quite strange.

It was so suspicious that for a moment I wondered if I had eaten something wrong.

But that’s not true.

Did you mean to say that you would cook for me?

Kuwaaah-

His mana began to swirl around him violently.

Windows are broken, picture frames are toppling, and desks are shaking.

“My..my lord..!”

ah.

When I heard Bordin’s panicked voice, I knew that my sanity had disappeared for a moment.

Let’s put Mana to sleep again. Bordin straightens his disheveled clothes and speaks.

“Are you okay, my lord..?”

But his words were not heard at all.

“Bitch….”

“I can’t take it anymore…”

“Right now tonight…”

Anyone who sees this can tell that this is some kind of signal to be eaten.

Without realizing it, the emotions in my heart began to leak out of my mouth.

Bordin was sweating profusely in front of me as I muttered in a murderous tone.

‘It won’t work.’

Originally, I was going to slowly transform her into myself.

Anyway, time will be overflowing from now on.

He waited patiently and tried to get her to come into his mouth on her own.

But as it turned out, time was not on his side.

He felt he had to quickly scold this gloomy vixen who was tempting him day by day.

I decided.

This month.

Whether she opens her heart to him or not.

Definitely within this month.

I will eat her body.

.

.

.

“Eek!!”

“Are you okay, miss?”

“Yes..Yes..I got chills for a moment.”

what?

Suddenly, goosebumps appeared all over my body.

‘It’s not that cold…?’

It must be my imagination.

I shook off the unknown chill and started to focus on cooking again.

I’m now in the kitchen of the mansion.

At first, the chef wanted to kick me out, but when I told him I wanted to cook for Athena, he willingly gave me the kitchen.

Instead, since it was a job that involved handling fire, he assigned me an assistant cook and left.

So what are you cooking now?

Haha.

A dish that can never fail.

A food loved by everyone, regardless of age or gender.

as soon as-

“This is my first time hearing the word chicken.”

The people’s food. It was chicken.

While I was looking through the cooking ingredients, I came across some raw chicken and decided to cook it without hesitation.

If you make a spicy sauce and mix it in, it would be a perfect dish for Athena, who likes spicy and meaty food.

“Don’t you eat fried food often?”

“There are places that fry them, but most chicken dishes are made with turkey, baked in the oven.”

I guess chicken wasn’t a common food in this world.

Rather, it was good.

I liked it even more because it emphasized the advantage of fresh food.

The assistant chef prepared the chicken and I prepared the seasoning.

The seasoning was completed by adding garlic, sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, honey, and even chili peppers for spiciness.

Since there was no chicken powder available, I covered the chicken in breadcrumbs to make a batter.

After frying in oil for a long time.

Finally, the seasoned chicken is completed by mixing in the seasoning.

There was food in front of me that looked delicious just by looking at it.

As the delicious smell of fried chicken wafted around me, I found myself salivating without realizing it.

I took a bite, crunchy, sweet, spicy. The harmonious flavors flowed into my mouth.

‘It’s delicious, as expected.’

I looked at the chef next to me.

“…”

He also couldn’t take his eyes off the chicken.

His eyes were filled with a desire to try that food right away.

It is indeed the power of God.

Even though I was an incompetent person, I was confident in my cooking. And besides, chicken was delicious even if I just roughly fried it. He would never dislike it.

“Would you like a bite?”

The assistant chef nodded slowly as I made a cautious suggestion.

He savored his food by picking at a spot with his fork and slowly putting it in his mouth.

“….!”

For a moment, his eyes opened wide and he looked at the chicken with a puzzled expression.

That must mean it was that delicious.

I felt strangely pleased by his reaction.

I thought I was someone who couldn’t do anything.

Still, I was glad that I could at least cook.

He looked at the chef with a pleased expression and asked.

“How is it?”

He closed his eyes without answering, thinking deeply about something.

He had a look on his face like he was seriously conflicted about what it was.

After a long time without an answer, I decided to call him again.

“..Excuse me?”

He slowly opened his eyes at my answer and soon sighed deeply-

“My liver is a mess.”

“Ah…..yes..?”

“It’s just unnecessarily spicy. I think you put in too much chili pepper.”

“Uh…uh uh..”

“And the skin is too hard for chicken. It has a very different taste, so I can’t eat it.”

“That…That’s…”

“And if you mix the seasoning like this, it will get all over your face and it will be uncomfortable. I think it would be better to keep the seasoning separately.”

“…..”

His harsh criticism pierced my heart.

My breathing slowly began to shake.

No, it won’t be.

It couldn’t be true that the chicken was tasteless.

Even though I have no ability… at least chicken…

“Isn’t your taste weird?”

When I blamed the chef for my frustration, he shrugged his shoulders and said calmly.

“Then how about showing it to the chef?”

The chef who oversees all the wonderful dishes served here.

Then he will definitely know this taste.

“Okay..good.”

but.

“I guess you can’t call this cooking.”

Boom-boom-

I felt like my heart was hurting.

My hands began to tremble and tears began to well up in my eyes.

“I don’t think I can allow you to serve this kind of food to Athena.”

“I…really…does it taste bad..?”

“…….Yes.”

“……”

A tear rolled down my cheek in a sense of loss.

I lowered my head and held back my tears so they wouldn’t see me cry.

Someone whispered next to me.

– That’s so stupid.

– You’re useless?

– What is this that I ended up doing after trying to do something for no reason?

– Is it that hard to ask someone to just stay still?

– Just acting cute next to Athena-

“Get out of here!!!!”

As I shouted into the air, everyone around me started looking at me.

“Miss! Are you okay?”

“Ugh…gasp…”

They are all looking at me

They were all laughing so hard their mouths were about to tear.

I don’t remember exactly what happened after that.

I just kept running.

I just kept running until I got to my room.

So when I got to the room.

I approached the bed, holding on to my fading consciousness-

“School..Haak..”

The field of vision suddenly darkens.

I just collapsed onto the bed.

.

.

.

“Huh.. It’s pretty late.”

I looked at the time, it was 7pm.

It was a little past dinner time.

I was waiting, drumming my fingers on the desk.

Hera is cooking for herself.

Even if it doesn’t taste good, that food will be more precious than anything else.

This was the first time I looked forward to a meal this much.

I closed my eyes for a moment and imagined her cooking for me.

The fragrant smell that wafts in when you wake up in the morning.

As I follow the scent, I see my lovely slave.

She is preparing food while wearing an apron and humming a song.

As he approached her, she smiled brightly and hugged him.

“Ah. Here we go again.”

As my lower abdomen began to groan, I began to feel a slight dampness.

“Tsk. It’s not even mating.”

But once I started, I couldn’t stop. So I decided to hold back and use magic to blow away all of my sticky water.

Hera would be here soon anyway. This was not the time to waste time on such things.

dripping-

come.

I greeted her, trying my best to hide the smile that was about to burst out of my face.

“Come in Hera-”

“It’s me, my lord.”

But contrary to his expectations, it was not her who came, but Bordin.

“……….what.”

I gave him an endlessly cold air, feeling my heart sink for no reason.

If he came for something trivial, I thought he should be punished.

But he had a look on his face that seemed a bit troubled.

And then he said to himself.

“……..The young lady said she won’t be eating dinner tonight.”

“…What?”

It was like a bolt from the blue.
