BXBX NOVEL Chapter 416 Forest Witch
She also made sure Aiko is beside her, after all, who wouldn\'t want their daughter to interact with their mother, who is pregnant?
They chatted and laughed, catching up on each other\'s lives and sharing stories of their recent adventures. Asumi\'s husband entered the room carrying a tray of delicious-looking food with the maids beside him.
"Ah, perfect timing, darling!" Asumi exclaimed, her eyes lighting up as she saw the spread he had prepared.
"Everyone, this is my amazing new cook. She\'s the one responsible for this mouthwatering feast."
Aiko\'s father and the maid both smiled warmly and greeted the group. "It\'s a pleasure to meet all of you. Please, help yourselves to the food. I hope you enjoy it."
As she placed the tray on the coffee table, the enticing aroma filled the room, making everyone\'s stomachs rumble with anticipation. The spread consisted of a variety of dishes, ranging from bread to tempura, grilled meats, and vibrant salads.
Velian\'s eyes widened with delight. "Wow, this looks incredible! Thank you. You\'ve outdone yourself."
The maid chuckled modestly. "I\'m glad you like it. It\'s just a small token of appreciation for all the hard work you\'ve done, protecting our city. Your Highness"
Velian tried to remember this girl, but no matter how he tried he couldn\'t but then Aiko is the one who hugged the maid and said she used to play with her, when they were kids.
"Oh! I remember, I used to teach you about cooking since you were curious," Velian said and the girl smiled, as she was glad to be able to feed her master.
The group eagerly dug into the feast, passing plates and sharing their favourite bites. Laughter and conversation filled the room as they savoured the delicious flavours. Asumi leaned closer to Velian, her voice soft and affectionate.
"I\'m sorry for keeping you in the dark, Velian. It was a chaotic time, and I didn\'t want to burden you further. But I\'m grateful you\'re here now."
Velian smiled and gently squeezed Asumi\'s hand. "No need to apologize, Aunt. I understand. And I\'m happy to be here with you and everyone else."
And then he looked at her husband.
"I didn\'t expect you to rekindle the flame, I thought both of you were" Velian couldn\'t even speak more, as Asumi got dangerously close to him and whispered.
"It\'s all thanks to you, both he and I discovered a lot of things in this period"
Velian felt a little weird because she was being extra touchy, but he just thought that she was happy to see him.
As they enjoyed the meal, the atmosphere in the room grew livelier. Stories were shared, jokes were told, and memories were made. The bonds of friendship and camaraderie strengthened with each passing moment.
The evening stretched on, filled with warmth and happiness. Asumi\'s house became a sanctuary, a place where worries faded away, replaced by the joy of togetherness. At that moment, surrounded by good company and delightful food, they found solace and rejuvenation.
Time seemed to pass too quickly as the night drew to a close.
"Are there any problems here? The guard looked like they were on guard when I called them?" Velian didn\'t want to spoil the mood by bringing up heavy subjects, but he was curious so he had to ask.
"Well it\'s nothing major, but we have been experiencing something strange these days,"
Asumi said and looked at her husband, who looked just as worried as she was.
"People who go into the forest always come with strange marks on their body, but for some reason, all the males that go into the forest get impotent and females also lose their ability to conceive children,"
Daphnia looked at Velian as this incident sounded way more familiar to them.
"Might be the work of a curse user, it\'s the best time because we are on a journey to kill all of them, we might as well kill this one," Velian said but Asumi looked dissatisfied, after all, she wanted Velian and other to rest in her town.
She didn\'t know that they just came here to lodge for a few days before going back.
"No way! I thought you guys will at least stay was week or two,"
Velian wanted to invite her to the capital, but he knew she won\'t abandon her village that became a town.
*Sigh
"Well, it might take some time, so don\'t worry Aunt," Velian said and everyone just stood up, as they were tired of talking so they wanted to rest.
"The bath I made, did you use it?" Hearing Velian question, Asumi showed a grateful face as it had been so useful for them.
"I use it almost every day now since I can bring water through pipes, I don\'t even have to drag water, your ideas are really amazing Velian,"
Daphnia snorted hearing someone appreciating her son\'s hard work, like it was her own work.
"Well, let\'s build more for people two, after all, we should make hygiene first,"
Asumi laughed at his words and asked her husband to take Velian to the bath and the girls went separately since the maid was also there.
She wouldn\'t have minded if Velian joined her, but they still had to act on morals so they decided to go separately.
"Uncle, I heard your relationship with Aunt has been going well, congrats on the baby," Velian said while drowning his whole body in the hot water.
But unlike what he expected, he didn\'t get a massive reaction from his uncle instead he looked like he wanted to say something, but held it.
"Velian," He said and caused then looked at Velian\'s penis for a moment and a smile came to his face.
It was a little creepy for Velian, but he still decided to wait and see what he was up to.
"This can\'t be good!" He was about to run off the bath if he was about to do something strange to him, but hearing his next words he almost felt like this man in front of him had gone insane.
"Do you want to have sex with Asumi?"
