A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

uddle of molten metal that dripped onto the ground amid a faint sizzling sound.

Elliot was quite taken aback by this development.
He had thought that Vincent would use the arrow to blackmail him into supporting Sally’s marriage with Blour, or perhaps extort him for even more than that, but who would’ve thought that Vincent would destroy the arrow right in front of his eyes? A hesitant look appeared on Elliot’s face as he asked, “What are your intentions, Family Leader Vincent?”

Vincent waved a hand toward a deer-drawn carriage parked beside them, and he wore a grim look on his face as he said, “Please come with me, Family Leader Vincent.
There are some matters that I must speak with you about in private.”

Elliot hesitated momentarily, but still nodded and got onto the carriage in the end.

Half an hour later, within a quiet and closed-off room, Elliot stared at Vincent with an incredulous look as he exclaimed, “You’re telling me that Sally is in Chaos City, and that the two elves who ambushed the mercenary squad two days ago were none other than her and Blour?”

“That’s right.
I’ve received reliable information from Yngwie over at Chaos City that Blour and Young Mistress Sally had taken these elves to Chaos City.
There, they were granted residence by the city lord’s castle, and an announcement was made, stating that these elves would be protected by the city.” Vincent wore a complex expression as he said, “I only wanted Blour to go out and see the world, but I didn’t think that he’d get into so much trouble.
Now, our two families are basically in the same boat.
If Borg were to hear about this, both of our families would most likely be destroyed.”

“You sent him out to see the world? You must’ve known that Sally was in Chaos City well in advance, right, Family Leader Vincent?” A wry smile appeared on Elliot’s face.

An apologetic look appeared in Vincent’s eyes as he replied, “Rest assured, Family Leader Elliot.
I won’t force a marriage between Blour and Young Mistress Sally, but this news will spread sooner or later.
Even though they were never seen with the rescued elves, nor did they reveal their identities to those elves, there’s always an avenue through which news like this can escape.”

Elliot took a moment to compose himself before asking, “What do you suggest?”

A dark expression appeared on Vincent’s face as he said, “That Borg is an extremely ambitious man who’s aiming to overthrow Her Majesty and replace her as the monarch of the elven race.
If he really does become the elven king, and then decide to turn on us, then both our families will be in dire straits.
If he really is already more powerful than Alex, then no one will be able to stop him from disabling Irina.
When that time comes, whether Her Majesty and Mistress Helena can control the situation will determine the state of the elven race.
As such, we should…”

…

“I really am ok, Princess; it’s just a little bump, and you already treated it for me.
Let me go and cook for you.
The sun is so bright today, and the Tree of Life is also really happy… Let’s… Let’s not go the starry sky cave…”

Within a spacious cave, Firis’ face was quite pale as she carefully tugged on the hem of Irina’s clothes with a beseeching look on her face.

“No one can touch you as long as I’m still alive.” Irina looked at the deathly pale Firis, and thought back to when she’d returned to her cave two days ago.
Back then, Firis had been lying in a pool of her own blood, and if she’d returned any later than she did, Firis would’ve died from excessive blood loss.
That was not some small bump; it was a lethal hole in her chest.

“Firis, you belong to me, and I’ll kill anyone who dares to touch you.”

Irina pinched Firis’ cheek in a playful manner before exiting the cave with purpose and killing intent radiating from her body.
