Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 665 - 666: The Little Darling’s Question

As the old butler of the Black Rose family, Sebastian undoubtedly held a sense of pride unique to himself.

In the face of dragons, elves, and even the Sadik royal family, Sebastian always displayed a lofty and superior attitude.

Even when dealing with members of Asumos Church or Red Leaf royal family, Sebastian remained neither humble nor arrogant.

However,

Having lived most of his life, he now felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.

Seeing the Girl of Destiny embracing his dear Mistress, he dared not speak out in anger.

And even had to force a smile.

’What a great humiliation!’

’Damn...’

Sebastian cursed inwardly, over and over.

Of course,

The old butler only dared to roar these words inside his heart.

After all, he was a high-quality butler, unable to lash out at guests.

More importantly, they could not show any hostility towards Mengxi in front of their Lady.

"Welcome, Miss Mengxi."

After extending a friendly yet insincere greeting to the silver-haired girl, Sebastian cautiously sidled up to Yumo,

and carefully asked:

"Milady, did you go out with Miss Mengxi last night?"

"Yes."

Yumo didn’t deny it, but simply nodded. Even recalling some events from the previous day, her face showed a meaningful blush.

"We went out to ’play’ together~"

"Pla…y? Played together?"

’What?!’

’Milady?’

After capturing the subtle change in Yumo’s expression, Sebastian was even more certain of his suspicions.

’My dear and innocent Mistress must have done something with that little rascal!’

That expression, like a girl who has just tasted the forbidden fruit, her heart just beginning to flutter.

For a moment, the old butler’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.

’Lady Yumo had been ignoring the Girl of Destiny recently, so why the sudden change in attitude?’ This puzzled Sebastian greatly.

But now, Sebastian didn’t have the energy to ponder this question. The pressing issue was how to get rid of the Girl of Destiny!

And,

’How am I going to explain this to Duke Xiao, and those little ancestors?’

’Oh my, this is a disaster...’

Sebastian muttered to himself, almost in tears.

You see,

The main purpose for Lord Duke and Lady Kalina sending him to follow Yumo to Luminous was to avoid her having too much contact with the Girl of Destiny. And what happened? Not only did he fail to keep them apart, but their relationship even grew closer?

’The Girl of Destiny might have even taken My Lady’s innocence!’

This was a gross negligence on his part!

’Not only that, but if Lord Duke and those little ancestors found out about this...’

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Just imagining a scene of those powerful beings in a thunderous rage made Sebastian nervous and uneasy. Lord Duke might be forgiving, but Yumo’s children certainly wouldn’t be. Once they learned that their mother had been defiled, they would surely stir up a storm of fury.

’I..’

’How should I break this news to those little devils!’

At this moment, Sebastian felt an unprecedented headache.

At the same time, the old butler couldn’t help but glance with a sense of relief at Yuan’er, who was petting a dragon nearby.

’Since Miss Yuan’er is still young and unaware of adult matters, she didn’t notice the unclear relationship between Lady Yumo and Mengxi. Otherwise, the little one might have exploded right there...’

...

"Sebastian."

"Hmm?"

However, just when Sebastian was feeling extremely conflicted, Yumo’s gentle voice slowly floated into his ears, pulling his thoughts back to reality.

"Do you have any instructions, Milady?"

Looking towards his Lady, seated at the head of the table, Sebastian respectfully asked,

"For breakfast, please prepare an additional set. Mengxi will be dining with us."

"Together?"

Hearing this, Sebastian’s eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch repeatedly.

How could he let the Girl of Destiny eat the exquisite breakfast he had meticulously prepared for His Lady and Miss Yuan’er?

The old butler’s heart was undoubtedly very resistant.

But considering it was a direct request from Miss Yumo, Sebastian naturally didn’t dare to refuse and respectfully nodded:

"Understood, Milady."

Saying this, Sebastian reluctantly and feigned enthusiasm as he turned towards the beautiful silver-haired girl.

Though the girl was as beautiful as a fairy, in Sebastian’s eyes, she had already become a greedy pig that was stealing his cabbages.

"Please take a seat here, Miss Mengxi."

"Thank you."

The silver-haired girl smiled slightly and unceremoniously took her seat under the guidance of the old butler...

--

’It seems they are quite averse to me...’

Glancing at the old butler and the surrounding maids of the Black Rose family, Mengxi quickly reached a conclusion in her heart.

Although Sebastian was trying hard to control his emotions, the fact that Yumo had ’lost her innocence’ still made him too agitated to completely hide his feelings. It was inevitable that Mengxi would notice.

For this conclusion, Mengxi was not surprised, instead calmly sipping her tea.

Even before, when she visited Yumo, she could feel the Black Rose family’s hatred toward her. But this time, appearing so intimately with Yumo in front of everyone naturally stirred up their displeasure even more.

’The Black Rose family, so loyally following Sister Yumo, must also be aware of her identity’

’As such.’

’Their aversion to me, the Girl of Destiny, is within reason.’

’After all, According to the prophecy, I am the greatest threat to the Abyssal Demonic forces, and to Sister Yumo.’

If I want to live a peaceful life with Sister Yumo in the future, I must find a way to get along with the people of the Black Rose family. No matter what, Sister Yumo seems to highly regard the Black Rose family.

Although I’m not too fond of those ruthless Black Rose people...

Still,

Considering my identity, getting them to accept and trust me might be extremely difficult.

Thinking of this, Mengxi couldn’t help but sigh.

However,

’Accompanying Sister Yumo in the dormitory this time also had some unexpected gains~’

With this thought, Mengxi’s hand propped up her chin, happily looking towards the pink-haired cutie across the dining table.

At that moment, the pink and plump little girl was lowering her head, holding a little white dragon, and silently putting pieces of cake into her mouth bite by bite.

On the surface,

The pink-haired little girl showed full vigilance and disgust towards Mengxi’s appearance, even turning her body to avoid facing her directly.

But in reality,

The little girl occasionally stole glances at the silver-haired girl with her peripheral vision. When she looked at Mengxi, her heterochromatic red and blue eyes unexpectedly showed no hostility, but instead were filled with anticipation and joy, and even a bit of shyness.

Although the pink-haired girl was quick to react, moving her gaze away every time Mengxi looked at her, Mengxi, now at level 8, had no difficulty capturing these subtle changes in the girl’s demeanor.

’This little cutie…’

’Doesn’t seem to have any hostility towards me?’

’Even, She seemed excited when I am close with Sister Yumo??’

’Does she, she actually look forward to something happening between me and Sis?’

Recalling the pink-haired girl’s enthusiastic attitude towards her and her initiative in getting rid of the Black Rose family’s servants, Mengxi became even more convinced of her thoughts.

’Yuan’er, was it?’

’What a cute child~’

Because Yuan’er’s appearance is about 80% similar to that of Xiaomo (Yumo’s disguised identity), Mengxi already felt a kinship towards this sprightly little girl. Now, seeing Yuan’er’s innocent and kind eyes, Mengxi’s affection for her continued to grow.

The next moment,

Seeing Yuan’er steal another glance at her, Mengxi, seizing the opportunity, revealed a sweet and friendly smile and waved at her.

She then mouthed silently, greeting the little one,

-"Hello there, little Yuan’er~"-

Upon making eye contact with Mengxi, Yuan’er’s face instantly turned red, shyly lowering her head.

After seeing Yuan’er’s reaction, Mengxi couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

’Oh my…’

’She’s blushing already?’

’What a pure and sweet little girl~’

...

However,

Just as Mengxi had come to this conclusion, the pink-haired girl suddenly started looking around stealthily.

The next instant,

Under Mengxi’s slightly puzzled gaze, after confirming that the Black Rose family members nearby weren’t paying attention to her, Yuan’er sneakily looked up to meet Mengxi’s eyes and revealed her cute cherry lips, silently mouthing a question.

But this question made Mengxi’s body shake, nearly spitting out her tea in shock,

——"Big sister, did you seduce Mommy??"——
