Chapter 313: 311. Dumbfounded Alex
Liora stopped and looked at Alex with complicated emotions in her eyes.
She in all her adult life cooked food for herself and for the Shapira and other beasts which were in her care at that time.
Never even once in her adult life did someone cooked anything for her. She had to hunt and then cook what she wanted to eat.
And she liked it this way. Doing this way she has the control over what she eats, what stuff are in it, she can also be sure no one tampered with her food and many more things.
So when Alex just asked her to sit down on the table her heart had a mixed reaction.
On one hand she really wanted to sit down and just eat what he cooked, Even if it did not taste good she was ready to eat it.
But on the other hand there was resistance in her heart as bringing food is a woman's duty. How can she make him do it?
It's not that she's being sexist or something. This is the rule in the beast kingdom here, the female's job is to hunt and bring the food to the table.
While male just had to partner with his mate, She didn't know why those beasts formed a bond with each other but she did not question it and just followed it like a law.
Of course she didn't know because she didn't know what sexual relationship means and how important it is to have the partner for to pass down their genes and have an offspring.
Still even in ignorance she was hesitant to change the rules she followed all her life. "Why are you standing there? Quickly sat on the table, Everyone should be hungry, I also needed to check the stuff delivered here to see if they sent everything or not."
Alex with his gentle tone told pretty much ordered her to sit down on the table but because of his tone it sounded more like a request.
He even added the other context in the sentence to distract her from finding out what he did.
After all, No matter how high her favorability is towards him, she becomes of her nature would feel resistance to listen to anything from him.
So he has to train her. If not she would be another troublemaker he has to keep in mind before he has to make any decision.
He already has too much on his plate, Figuratively and quite literally.
Forget about the protagonist, His more than half of energy is spent on making sure there is peace in the harem.
He did not want to start an asura field in it, not when he had such powerhouses in his harem. So training is must. Even if he may not able to prevent the small fractions here and there, He can at least make sure these heavy hitters would not join in the fun.
"Huh... You mean the boxes that come in the evening?"
Alex wanted to just go sit down and brought the food out of the inventory letting them enjoy the delicacy he made for them.
He is also looking forward to seeing their reaction. After all, it is the first time he actually used his cooking skill to this extent, Even he didn't know what would happen next.
But then he saw Liora did not move from her position at all, Making Alex raise his eyebrow thinking of whether he should be more strict or not.
He wanted to command again with more firm tone but saw she was not unwilling to listen to him and was comforting him over the authority, Which is understood given her nature.
Rather right now she was looking down at the ground fearful to meet with his eyes like a child who knows she made a mistake and now trying to avoid the punishment.
This made Alex confused, thinking what could make her do this? He could not think of any other reason why this girl is guilty of it.
But then he heard the voice come from beside him, He looked at his body and saw that Rita spoke to him with a low and also guilty ridden tone with hesitation.
This made him more confused on what's happening with these two, Not only Liora but even Rita was acting weird more than usual, Which only means trouble for him.
Thankfully they did not let him dwell on the issue regarding this, Rita fearfully asked him a question giving hint to Alex what these two may have done and was guilty of.
"What did you two do?"
Alex with a heavy heart asked them, He has a bad feeling in his heart.
He is not worried about his tech being destroyed, Though his heart would bleed if that's the case even if he was not the one to pay for that stuff.
As he emotionally attached to those piece of plastic and metals, It would physically going to hurt if they destroyed hardware and games that he brought with Liza's generous money he extorted out of her.
But he is more worried about the reason why they think of doing anything to his deliveries.
He could not fathom they have any logical reason behind doing whatever they did, of which he is damn sure of it.
"I...I didn't do anything, It's all on this crazy woman."
Rita, though having a guilty face, quickly jumps up shaking her head left and right rapidly denying any involvement in what happened with his deliveries, of which fate is still unknown. "Hey hey, That's a lie, Stop lying, You said people send bombs in the package like those, Many people fall for it and die by opening unknown packages."
Liora, hearing Rita was putting all the blame on her, was quick to counter argue trying to shift blame back onto the Rita, It was all fault if this woman, Who said that thing to her.
"What?!....Well I said it but that's true, The reason you did that was you needed space to put
all the stuff you brought and those packages were just in the way."
Rita also counters with telling on Liora, While Alex just stand there dumbfoundedly hearing about their antics.
**Sigh* What I get myself into.'
