"I promised to give you anything you ask as payment, but you are kind of making me nervous, you know?" Rudy chuckled softly.
Lu Bela smiled slightly as her eyes moved from the castle and locked with Rudy's eyes.
"I made the Lord nervous? Now that's something I can flex all my life."
Rudy forced his smile and calmly muttered, "At least you are thinking of living now."
Rudy was happy that Lu Bela was no longer thinking and talking about dying. Deep down, he was anxious that Lu Bela would ask Rudy to kill her as payment for all the favors she had done for him.
Lu Bela lowered her gaze and nodded, "I am trying."
"Alright then. Call me when it's ready. I will move the furniture and the useful things today itself."
Lu Bela had a curious look on her face, and she couldn't hide her curiosity.
"If you don't mind me asking, why are you in such a hurry?"
"I want to marry all my harem."
"Aren't you married to a few of them already?"
"Yes, but let's say I want them to give a proper and memorable wedding experience. People only marry once in their lifetime unless we are talking about the liberal never mind."
Rudy shook his head as she decided to not continue his sentence.
"I am the most honorable person they will ever meet in their life, and I would be ashamed of myself if I can't pull off a grand wedding."
He said with a grin on his charming face, making Lu Bela smile with him.
"I can arrange that if you are okay with it."
"Erm yeah, but I was thinking of doing it in the vampire world since Well, it's a fantasy land land of dreams. Although I haven't talked about this with the vampire gang yet."
"You don't need it, but good luck."
Rudy shrugged his shoulders and teleported to his house.
A few minutes before.
Lucy woke up from her sleep and sat up in Rudy's bed. She had a blank expression on her face, and her eyes were fixed on one spot Rudy's closet.
'It's been forever since I slept and woke up in Rudy's room. We used to sleep in the same room in the past timeline'
She touched her lips, then her breasts and her sacred place.
"And do many things together"
She moved past Lilim and got off the bed.
YAWN~!
She stretched her hands in the air and yawned without care.
"I woke up early, and that's good. Since dad is back, I will make breakfast for everyone. That's like breakfast for six people."
She went downstairs and saw Angelica snoring on the couch.
SIGH!
She shook her head after seeing the way Angelica was sleeping and uttered, "She seriously has no manners. How did she become friends with Rudy?"
She asked herself.
"There was no Angelica or Lilim in the past timeline." She paused for a second to reflect on something and pondered.
'Not every anomaly is my fault. But I am the only one who knows about everything and what's going to happen in the future. And how everything will end'
Lucy's body trembled in fear as though she had remembered something she didn't want to recall. Something that was scarier than her deadliest nightmare.
She quickly went to the kitchen and opened the fridge to take out a cold water bottle. She opened the cap and tried to drink the water directly from the bottle, but she stopped and placed the bottle on the counter.
She grabbed the glass and filled it with water. She watered her mouth and her thirsty throat before galloping the water.
She let out a happy sigh and placed the glass on the counter, making minimal tinkling noise.
She then turned around and immediately jumped back with a horrified look on her face. Her mouth was open as though she wanted to shriek, but her voice didn't come out.
And the reason for such a reaction was Angelica, who was standing in the kitchen like a ghost.
She had mastered her ghostly techniques and was ready to haunt the neighborhood.
Lucy calmed herself down and became her composed self.
"You scared me!"
"I came here to drink some water. Good morning."
Even her way of talking could make anyone lose their cool.
"Good morning"
Lucy filled the glass with water and handed it to Angelica.
"I will wake Rudy up."
She walked past Angelica and moved to Rebecca's room, and at that exact time, Rudy had teleported back.
"Oh, you are already awake!" Lucy shot a confused smile at him.
"Yes. Why are you awake? The sun hasn't risen yet. Go sleep."
"Umm actually I am going out today with my friends so I won't be home all day. I don't know at which time Rebecca will be back since she is usually late on weekends, so I thought I would make breakfast before leaving."
Lucy explained calmly without losing the smile on her face.
"Oh, is that so?" Rudy rubbed his head and muttered, "You didn't tell me you had plans. Did you tell mom about it?"
"Err no"
Rudy shrugged his hands and raised his brow at Lucy.
"I don't want to impose on you or oppress you, but you can't leave the house without telling us. We would have been worried about you."
Lucy shot a judging glare at Rudy and remarked, "You, of all people, don't get to say that."
"I always tell mom."
"Well, now you know."
"You still haven't told me where you all are going and with whom? I need all the names of the people and the places."
"Why are you being overprotective all of a sudden?"
"I always wanted to try that."
"I am going with my classmates, and before you ask, yes." She nodded before saying, "All of them are girls. I can't tell you the names of the places since I am not the one in charge of making plans.
But I am going with Suzan, Melinda, Rosse, Leah, and Rina."
"Yeah, I don't know any of them."
Lucy playfully pushed Rudy aside and said, "Obviously, you don't. You have never met any of my friends before."
