Invicinble Colorless Butler-Chapter 313 49
Ziel lived in a cottage in the middle of a lake in the academy forest area. Usually, the place is tranquil at night because it's only him and Kalya. It was like a love nest for them.
But tonight, his residence felt very crowded, noisy, and bustling because there were two new visitors besides Queen Helena. They were Princess Cordelia da Princess Irene Ziel met in the cafeteria during lunch break.
Clara suddenly brought the two of them to his cottage along with Princess Freya and the other girls without asking for his consent first. Of course, Ziel wouldn't kick them out because of that. After all, they were friends of Clara and the others.
"Ken, I apologize for not informing you before bringing Princess Cordelia and Irene. They know that in this academy, students can live outside the dorms, and they said they want to know where you live. After seeing their pleading faces, I couldn't bear to refuse and brought them here." Clara said apologetically.
Not only Clara, Kyouka, Princess Freya, and the other girls also apologized to Ziel. They also feel guilty about it. If it weren't for them being too enthusiastic about telling about the hut, the two Princesses wouldn't be curious.
Merlick had reserved a special room in the dormitory for the representatives of the demi-human region. But only three wanted to occupy it, while Princess Irene chose a room close to Clara.
In the evening, Princess Irene gathered in Clara's room along with Kyouka and the others. The girls were chatting happily in that place. Then Princess Irene asked about their room in the dorm. If one day she wanted to visit one of them, she didn't have to ask anymore. Princess Irene also asked Clara where Ziel lived, which made the girls speechless because they thought that Princess Irene intended to come to a man's room.
But Princess Irene refuted the girls' assumptions and quickly clarified the misunderstanding. After that, Clara explained that the students were allowed to live outside the dorms and Ziel was one of them. She also told her where Ziel lived and how pleasant the atmosphere was.
In addition, Princess Freya explained about those who often practice and stay together at the place. It provoked the interest and curiosity of Princess Irene and Princess Cordelia.
After hearing Clara's story, Princess Irene and Princess Cordelia asked her and the girls to accompany her to see the night atmosphere at Ziel's residence. Because they couldn't bear to see Princess Irene's pitiful face, they finally agreed. The girls' gathering in Clara's room ended with a tea party at Ziel's cottage.
"You don't have to apologize so many times, my lady. It's not your fault, and I never blame you. As long as you are happy, it brings satisfaction to me. When I see you all gathering and laughing together, it also brings joy to me." Ziel smiled and secretly sighed in his heart. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂
It wasn't because he wasn't happy that Clara and the girls had brought Princess Irene and Princess Cordelia to his cottage, but because Princess Freya and the others were apologizing to him in turn. It gave him a slight headache when he saw the guilty faces of the girls.
"Thank you, Ken!" Clara kissed Ziel's lips lightly and hugged him. She felt delighted when she heard those words. Fortunately, no one saw them.
"Okay. You better get back to Freya and the others before they look for you. I'm sorry I can't join you because I have other things to do." Ziel whispered to Clara and stroked her hair.
"I understand! Then, I will take my leave first!" Clara nodded excitedly. But before she left, she kissed Ziel's lips again and walked with light steps into the room where the girls were gathered.
Ziel couldn't help but smile and shake his head at Clara's behavior. Then he walked out of the cottage and sat down on a chair by the lake. He came to that place not to relax or go fishing but to look up at the sky.
"My eyes are not wrong. The color of the sky did change a little. Even the supposedly night turned gray. Surprisingly Kalya and the others didn't notice. What is happening?" Ziel mumbled. He felt uncomfortable seeing the color of the sky that was similar to his hair.
As Ziel was deep in thought, a woman's voice called out and brought him back to his senses.
"What are you thinking in this place alone? Shouldn't you be having fun with the girls in the cottage?" The woman said in a prickly tone.
When Ziel turned his eyes in the direction the voice came from, he saw a woman resembling Princess Freya but looked more mature and seductive. That person was Queen Helena, wearing a light, slightly transparent dress with a cardigan lining it. Even so, it couldn't hide her beautiful curves, especially her ample breast.
Queen Helena was no longer embarrassed when she had to come face to face with Ziel. But that didn't mean she wasn't nervous anymore when she saw him. Until now, her heart still beats very fast when she met him. It's like going back to puberty and being a maiden in love.
Her feelings for her husband slowly faded the longer she stayed at the academy and the more she met Ziel. It was only a matter of time until Queen Helena completely lost her feelings for King Leonida.
"I'm checking something here. Then what do you do? Why did you go out instead of being with your daughter and the others?" Ziel glanced briefly at her and turned his attention back to the sky. The more he looked at the gray color, the more restless he felt. Moreover, the gray sky was only above the territory of the Neigal Kingdom.
"They are all good girls. But I realized I was no longer young and couldn't follow their conversation. Besides, I saw you sneak out of the cottage and leave the girls behind. I followed you because I was curious about what you would do. I didn't think you would be sitting here enjoying the beautiful view in the sky." Queen Helena looked up at the sky and walked towards Ziel with light steps.
"Yes, they are good girls. Shouldn't you go back inside? Freya might be worried that you suddenly disappeared. You'd better return to the cottage because it's icy tonight. Even though your age and theirs are different, your appearance is not." Ziel said casually. Queen Helena asked him not to be so stiff and formal when talking to her, and Ziel complied.
Queen Helena was caught off guard when she heard Ziel's words, especially the last sentence. She didn't expect that Ziel would suddenly compliment him. It made her heart feel sweet, and her face flushed. But Queen Helena quickly regained her composure. She couldn't let Ziel realize what she was feeling right now.
"You don't have to lie to cheer me up. I am old and have two children. Plus, I have a lot of wrinkles on my face. I can't compare to the girls who are still so beautiful and fresh." Queen Helena said, a little spoiled. She stood beside where Ziel was sitting and stole glances at him secretly.
"Is that so? I don't know how other people see you. But in my eyes, you are almost no different from them except for your status." Ziel shrugged his shoulders and honestly said what he saw with his eyes.
"Please stop praising me like that. Your words are only for the girls and not for an aunt like me. What's more, do you always say nice things to the women you meet?" Queen Helena pouted, and her face looked cute even though she was no longer young.
"I don't think it's a compliment but an honest one. In addition, I say sweet things only to the people around me, or now I call them my little family." Ziel replied calmly. Queen Helena was extremely jealous when she heard Ziel's words. But it was only for a moment, and his mood quickly returned to normal.
"Is that so? By the way, may I sit down? My legs feel tired if I have to keep standing like this." Queen Helena complained.
"Are you sure? Of course, you can sit down. But, would you mind sitting here with me? I mean that this seat is cramped, and you might feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, I'll get up, and you can sit here. I'll sit somewhere else." Ziel looked next to her and asked.
The chair is large to sit alone but barely fits two people. If they sat there simultaneously, Ziel and Queen Helena would stick together. Their skin will touch, and some parts of their bodies may be pressing against each other.
Ziel doesn't want Queen Helena to misunderstand. Usually, only Ziel and Kalya sit on that chair and don't care if they have to stick together because they are fianc??s.
"You don't have to move anywhere. I don't mind sitting with you." Queen Helena smiled and sat down next to him. She rested her perfectly round buttocks on the seat and accidentally rubbed against Ziel's thighs. After Queen Helena sat down, Ziel's nose twitched from the sweet scent of her body full of sex appeal.
Their sides were pressing against each other, and Ziel could feel the warmth of this sexy and seductive mature woman's body. The more emotions flowed out of Azael's cracked seal, the harder it was for Ziel to control it.
After all, Ziel lives in the body of a boy growing up. He was currently a hot-blooded youth who easily acted impulsively. If his male instincts were tempted, he would not be able to suppress the lust that surged within his body and would push Queen Helena on the chair.
Ziel frowned as he felt uncomfortable about it. He let out a long breath to calm his mind. If Kalya, Princess Freya, or the other girls saw the two, they would misunderstand him. But then he could only sigh and shake his head when he saw Queen Helena smiling and not seeming bothered by their current situation.
"What's so good about seeing a gray sky like that? I feel that it doesn't look beautiful at all. I'd rather see a swarm of fireflies on the shore of a lake than see something gloomy." Queen Helena said coquettishly.
Ziel raised his eyebrows after hearing Queen Helena's words. He reacted like that not because of her voice but her words.
"You can see that?" Ziel asked.
"Why do you think I can't see it? Ah! Now you say it! Freya and the girls didn't seem to notice that! Is there something special about the color of the sky?" Queen Helena asked curiously.
"I don't know much about it either. That's why I'm trying to investigate it. Since when did you notice that the color of the sky changed?" Ziel begins to take an interest in Queen Helena. Not because of her beauty but her ability to see changes in the sky.
"If I'm not mistaken, I started to notice it after you returned from the village of those gray-haired people." Queen Helena touched her chin with her finger and tried to remember the first time she noticed it.
"After I came back from that minority village?" Ziel was shocked after hearing the answer, and his face darkened. He thought it wasn't a coincidence and felt that his movements were being watched.
"Yes. But when it comes to gray-haired people, I remember that I once came to their village on the border of the Aurelia Kingdom and the Argaint Kingdom. I almost forgot about it because it happened so long ago. Besides, I didn't have time to think about it because I suffered from that strange disease not long after returning from that place." Queen Helena explained.
When Queen Helena found out that Ziel went with Clara and Lilith to look for the whereabouts of the gray-haired people, she didn't care about it because of her jealousy when she thought of Ziel dating those young girls. But after hearing the whole story from Kalya and the girls, she suddenly recalled one of her life experiences that she had almost forgotten.
"Have you met them? So after returning from that place, you suffer from mana disorder?" Ziel narrowed his eyes and asked seriously.
"Yes. I suddenly had the disease a day or two after returning from that place." Queen Helena nodded doubtfully as she had somewhat forgotten about it. After hearing her words, Ziel suddenly stood up from his seat.
"I'm going back to the cottage! I have something to do! We'll talk later!" Ziel quickly dashed into the cottage without waiting for Queen Helena's reply.
