Chapter 97: I love you!
“Mom! Where did Alex go?” Celia asked after Sara had taken her away from Schnee and Olivia.
The dullahan momma saw that these two shared some common traits. Before any vulgar words left their lips, Sara took her daughter away.
They were on their way toward Stella’s room.
“Alex saw that we were about to introduce ourselves, so he took Remia to Stella. It’s not just Olivia who came here for a visit,” Sara patted her daughter’s hair.
And hearing about Remia, Celia’s eyes twinkled, “I have a quest for her! Alex helped me with it!”
“Really? What did you two come out with?” Sara asked with a wide smile.
Celia grinned, “Alex gave me two skill books. He told me that I will be able to give them as a reward to Remia if she helps us with gardens!”
Alex also talked with Olivia about those skill books. She didn’t mind him using those skills for himself. They killed the boss as a two-man party, and Olivia believed that it was primarily due to Alex’s class and skills.
Of course, Alex kept reminding his girlfriend that she had played a crucial role in their boss’ fight.
And since his funds were game-breaking, Alex had saved a few gold coins for his beloved.
Sara nodded, “Your system should help you give her a quest. If nothing pops out, don’t cry and just offer the quest.”
“Okay!” Celia agreed with her mother.

In a different room, Alex and Remia faced the peculiar lazy lady.
Even though a new guest had arrived in the castle, Stella still remained in her bed. It was her hobby, her life, and much more!
And she also knew that Alex would introduce new guests to her anyway. Stella gladly continued her crocodile hibernation, following the strict lazy people’s rules.
Remia and Alex exchanged glances, then chuckled, “I told you. She is so lazy. But I, for one, know that this girl is a genius. Otherwise, she wouldn’t make me and Celia go ‘What was that?!’ just by opening up windows.”
Hearing those words, Stella’s heart skipped a beat. She grew nervous, and her ample body trembled a little.
Remia didn’t miss that reaction, “Is she sick?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlex awkwardly laughed, “She’s nervous because I saw through her! Haha! But I still appreciate the sexy sloth’s efforts. It means more than she thinks.”
Remia sweetly smiled, “Did you hear it, Miss Stella? You’ve made Alex happy. No need to be nervous.”
“Jealous,” Stella said without turning her face to look at Remia.
Remia jumped as her emotions had been so easily seen through, “It’s subtle jealousy! Nothing mean or evil!”
“Ok,” Stella replied, making Remia confused like never before.
It took some effort for Alex to keep his laughter to himself.
Remia still saw through his expression, though.
Then, the doors to Stella’s room opened.
The little dullahan and her momma had arrived together!
Celia didn’t miss the opportunity to jump into Alex’s hands. While she hugged him, her mother approached Remia.
Both of them stared into each other’s eyes briefly.
Sara wanted to say and talk about many things related to her home with Remia. However, there was something she absolutely had to say.
“I condemn what my father did to you and others. We are victims of his empty promises, but Elias Deathwill was, is, and will be my father. On behalf of my sisters, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for not harboring a grudge against him and stopping the forest fairies from trying to take revenge,” Sara spoke genuinely.
Remia grasped her hands, then replied, “It’s just as you’ve said, Miss Sara. We are all victims, except a few people who knew about his excesses.”
Reasonably so, Remia believed that people from Elias Deathwill’s government were aware of his affairs. Even if not the whole government or royal circle knew about it, at least a scant group of people was aware of it.
She spoke precisely about those people.
“The last thing I want is for innocent people to suffer because of the stronger’s excesses. We can’t stop those muscle heads, but we can mitigate their recklessness, can’t we?” Remia let out a gentle smile.
Sara smiled broadly as well, “Yes, that’s our duty. We also have to atone for their sins.”
They were both royalties. Because of that, these two ladies found a common link. They became closer and swore to help each other, even if the whole world had descended into chaos.
Listening to their talk from the side, Alex didn’t dare to chime in. He knew that it was an important talk that these two ladies needed. He also felt relieved that Remia managed to find a familiar soul within Sara’s eyes.
He and Celia had been grinning for a while.
“My little one has something for you, Remia,” Sara said after she and Remia had become closer friends.
Although Remia wouldn’t call her big sister like others, she no longer used any honorifics.
Remia turned toward Celia. She knelt, then patted her hair, “Have you prepared something for me, Celia?”
Celia grinned wider due to Remia’s kind tone.
She nodded, “I have a quest for you! Help us with our gardens, and I will give you these two books as the reward!”
Celia slowly operated through her system. From her inventory, two skill books popped out! They dropped onto the ground as Celia had been too slow to catch them.
She picked them up, then held dearly, “Alex gave me those!”
“I see,” Remia nodded, then furtively looked at Alex. She then retracted her attention back to Celia.
Explaining the process of her forest fairies’ techniques, Remia gathered everyone’s attention. It turned out that her garden craft was a pretty lonely concept.
Celia lifted her hand, “My friends and I will be with you!”
Alex nodded, “We have a free day, right? Let’s make a picnic. Do you need to focus deeply, Remia?”
“It’s fine to make a picnic. I just need to be in the vicinity after using my techniques,” Remia reassured everyone.
And with that, Alex decided that everyone would attend a picnic.
It would be a good family bonding.
Celia looked forward to that! She wanted to sing, make tea, and exchange food with everyone. She also wanted to see the process of the thorny gardens turning for the better.
Her little heart knew no boundaries when it came to curiosity.
Alex looked behind, “Stella! We are going!”
At last, Stella flapped her wings and used her wind magic. She attached herself to Alex’s back, shocking Remia in the process.
Then, everyone left the room.
They headed back, so it would be just natural for them to meet Schnee and Olivia on their way.
Alex had weird precognition that something bad was happening as these two couldn’t be left alone.
His worries became a reality when he saw his girlfriend waving her spear around.
Schnee used the same tactic to bully Olivia! She kept changing from her human form to a little cat one, attacking Olivia from all angles.
She avoided Olivia’s point of view pretty well.
But just a few breaths after Alex and others arrived at the scene, Olivia suddenly gained a confidence boost, as if that was a real skill.
She felt Schnee’s presence and cut her cheek, “Stop using that cat form, babushka.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You already saw through me?” Schnee asked in shock.
Olivia smirked, “I utterly can not lose to you. And I saw my handsome in the corner of my eye. That’s enough for me!”
If it weren’t for Alex and Sara’s intervention, their little spar could truly go in both ways.
Olivia really had talent, the same as Alex. There was no other explanation as her skills were common skills.
Yet, she faced Schnee bravely and even attacked back.
That made Sara look at Olivia in a different light, “You also use a spear, so I planned to offer you my skill… But now, I really want to pass you my knowledge! As a woman who wants to progress, I need a training partner who can match me and my talent.
Would you like to follow my steps for a while, Olivia?” Sara asked.
In Olivia’s eyes, a new message appeared.
[You have received a new quest!]
[The Dullahan Royalty’s Training Quest!]
[Reward: The Dullahan’s Royal Spearmanship(Epic)]
“Big sister! I love you! I’m in your hands!” Olivia dropped her spear and pounced at Sara with a broad smile, utterly ignoring her wounds and blood on her clothes.
Sara accepted her hug wholeheartedly, “Hehe! I already wanted to have a nice talk with you. It’s just one of many topics we will gossip about.”
“Hehe! I love you so much!” Olivia grinned.
Alex squinted his eyes, “You overuse the meaning of those words, Olivia.”
“I love you too, handsome!” Olivia spoke while her face was buried within Sara’s ample chest.
She then noticed Stella’s attached to his back…
Her chest splashed so seductively… It was as if her boyfriend had a soft pillow wherever he moved!
Olivia couldn’t help but tremble with jealousy, “You three sisters really have big pairs…”
“Humph!” Schnee harrumphed victoriously.
After that event, Stella healed Olivia’s wounds. Everyone headed to one of the gardens… At last, a significant change appeared in the Deathwill Castle’s appearance.
Remia used her techniques, erasing the thorns. She made the whole garden more green and even planted a few new flowers together with Celia.
Alex and others had a picnic, of course.
In that peculiar time, Remia and Olivia learned much more things about Alex’s legendary class and Deathwill Sisters.
These two unique girls offered their cooperation.
“Legendary class… Husband and wives in name… Husband! Haha!” Olivia laughed out loud.
Alex squinted his eyes, “Now, you find it funny, huh.”
