Chapter 484 To be honest, you're not happy about it.
That very night, a viscount's house was attacked by a water balloon. The viscount's daughter was soaked to the bone, which was not very harmful, but extremely humiliating.
Throughout the entire ordeal, no one discovered the perpetrator's whereabouts. Little Alice remained silent, only excitedly using water magic continuously within the water membrane spread out by Broly until she had exhausted all her magic power.
The next day, the viscount, who had been attacked by the water balloon, brought his daughter to the Boreas family to apologize for what had happened the day before.
Learning what had happened at the other party's house the previous night surprised Saloth Boreas.
Since the other party's family also has Saint-level guards, and they were able to launch an attack without being detected, the boy who was hired as a playmate for his granddaughter, or the demon girl who was the magic teacher, probably one of them is stronger than originally estimated.
"It's just children's play, Lord Evan, you don't need to take it seriously, Alphonse."
"Yes, sir."
"Go to the treasury and retrieve two pieces of jewelry to give to Miss Emma as an apology for Alice's mischief yesterday."
Having gotten his granddaughter a good deal and vented his anger, what Sauros Boreas is now doing is trying to repair the relationship between the two families.
Of course, if the other party dares to talk nonsense, spread rumors, and smear the reputation of the Boreas family after accepting the benefits, then he, as the de facto lord of the Fituia territory, will not hesitate to use his own methods.
Isn't it easy to manipulate a noble within one's own territory?
The viscount, who came to apologize but actually to seek an explanation for what happened last night, understood Sauros's unspoken meaning and immediately nodded in agreement to settle the matter.
After all, apart from being drenched with water last night, nothing more outrageous happened. Lord Fituya sent a gift and offered a casual apology, which was enough.
If that's still not enough, maybe next time a vicious bandit will come to his house and kill his whole family.
"Where is Alice now?"
After seeing the Viscount and his daughter off, Sauros asked the steward.
"Miss Alice woke up rather late today and should be in the study giving lessons right now."
Alphonse answered.
"That kid did a great job this time, I should give her a good compliment!"
As he spoke, Sauros strode toward his granddaughter's study.
When they arrived at the study, before they even pushed the door open, they heard their granddaughter's voice coming from inside.
"Broly, thanks for last night, but don't think I'll forget how many times you spanked me. At most, I'll give you one discount when I get my revenge next time."
"Only once? Isn't little Alice a generous child?"
"Then two times, no, three times will do."
With Loki's subtle prompting, Alice decided to forgive the boy for spanking her three times.
He had the air of a generous child, standing tall and proud, just like a proud little lion.
"Thank you very much, Miss Alice. However, I don't want to be spanked. Is there any other way to help you forget about the spanking?"
Inside the study, Broly began to inquire.
"Let me fight back."
Little Alice immediately said that she was indeed a little fool.
"I already said it was another method."
Broly could only remind her.
"Oh, then stretch out your tail and let me touch it."
Alice then offered another way to resolve the feud.
"Do you forget about it every time you touch it?"
Broly asked.
"How can that be? We have to have fun at least once."
Little Alice quickly shook her head; she wasn't stupid.
"That's fine, I'll be your witness."
Loki agreed for Broly.
At her beckoning, Broly had no choice but to stretch his tail out in front of little Alice.
The red-haired girl looked at the tail in front of her and grabbed it immediately.
Her little hands were warm, and after grabbing it, she pinched and squeezed its tail.
Broly's tail tip twitched, and Alice's eyes widened as she stared intently.
"It's completely different from Kyrie Irvine's tail."
"Of course it's different. I'm not a beastman. Huh, why are you bringing this up?"
When Sauros pushed open the door, what he saw was his granddaughter wrapped in a tail, her feet dangling in mid-air.
"Lord Sauros."
Luo Qixi called out to the other person.
"grandfather."
Little Alice also looked over at Sauros and shouted excitedly.
"Alice, is the tail fun?"
"It's fun."
"It seems you've already grasped the wonders of a fluffy tail."
Sauros was very satisfied; the love of orcs was a virtue of the Boreas family.
"But now, Grandpa has something to say to Broly, so you can come down now."
Little Alice was a little reluctant, but she still obediently listened to her grandfather.
"This only counts as half a forgetting. When you come back, you'll have to curl me up with your tail and wag me for a while for it to count as one forgetting, understand?"
As Broly was being taken away by Sauros, little Alice didn't forget to say this to the boy.
The study door was closed, and Sauros led the boy back to the living room.
"Was it you or Alice who orchestrated the water balloon attack on the Viscount's mansion last night?"
He asked it directly.
"It was my suggestion, Alice did the dirty work, and then I covered for her."
Broly answered honestly.
"Very good. You let Alice vent her anger in a very appropriate way."
Shoros praised loudly, poured himself a glass of red wine, and sat down on the sofa opposite the boy.
"I'm very pleased with what you did. I want to reward you. Tell me, what do you want?"
He asked Broly what he wanted.
"Can I have anything?"
"I, Sauros, am not a stingy person. Even if you asked me for a hundred Asura gold coins right now, I would have my steward give them to you without batting an eye."
"Gold coins are useless to me; I have plenty of them myself."
Broly shook his head.
"What do you want?"
Shaolus became somewhat curious.
"Alice".
The atmosphere in the living room froze after he finished speaking.
Shaoluos stared at him with wide, bell-like eyes, gritting his teeth as he asked, "Say it again, what do you want?"
"I want Alice."
Broly did not hesitate and reiterated what he wanted.
"You came here originally for Alice?"
Sauros realized his imposing manner was useless, so he narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Um."
Broly nodded.
"Who are you, and what is your purpose?"
The Crown Prince's power was severely damaged by an unknown force more than half a year ago. As the Boreas family, which is part of the Crown Prince's faction, Sauros's mind was filled with all sorts of other people's conspiracies and schemes.
For example, the boy in front of them might be someone sent by the Second Prince's faction. His contact with their family is probably an attempt to control or subdue the Boreas family.
"I am a Saiyan, and I have only one goal: to bring happiness to a girl named Alice Boreas Grellat and to make her agree to be my wife."
"and then?"
Shaolus waited a while, and when he realized the boy had nothing more to say, he couldn't help but ask.
"And then?"
Broly looked at the middle-aged man opposite him with a puzzled expression.
"Don't you want to control the Boreas family through my granddaughter?"
"Why would I do that?"
Shaolus: "..."
After a series of interrogations of the boy, the lord finally discovered that the Saiyan boy had only come for his granddaughter from the beginning and had no other purpose.
Of course, his granddaughter was not even five years old when she was approached. The fact that the other party was after his beloved granddaughter was enough to make him angry.
However, what if the person with this idea is a potential King-level powerhouse, not too old and a good match for Alice, and also quite tolerant of his granddaughter?
Well, although it still made Sauros angry enough to want to beat the other person up, it was much more acceptable now.
"You're really being incredibly arrogant. My granddaughter is the eldest daughter of the Boreas family. How dare you, an outsider whose background isn't even fully clear, say you want her?"
"Didn't you ask me what I wanted? You're not happy if I tell you the truth, so how about I tell you a lie now?"
Broly looked at Sauros with a somewhat innocent expression, but his blunt truth left Sauros speechless. Sauros Boreas actually thought that what the boy said made a damn good point.
"If you can really win Alice's heart and make her want to marry you when she grows up, then I..."
Shaoluos paused, looked at the boy, and said in a somewhat fierce tone, "Then I'll punch you a dozen times before I stop objecting to this marriage."
"No problem, Grandpa Sauros, you can even beat me up right now."
Seeing the boy about to come closer and hit him, Shaoluos's lips twitched, and he quickly waved his hand: "Forget it, you might not even be able to get my Alice to like you. Let's talk about this when she likes you."
"oh."
Broly didn't insist, and Sauros instructed the butler to escort him back to his study.
"Broly, hurry up and stick your tail out."
After escorting the boy back to his study, the butler Alphonse saw his young mistress skip over, naturally grab the tail from the boy's waist, wrap it around her own waist, and ask the boy to lift her up and shake her.
"Okay, that counts as one less time you spanked me!"
After the incident where she threw a water balloon at the Viscount's daughter, Alice's attitude towards Broly improved significantly.
The biggest change is that she no longer calls him "long-tailed bastard" and instead calls him Broly.
For example, phrases like "Broly, stretch out your tail and let me touch it!", "Broly, come and practice water magic with me!", or "Broly, let me cut you with my newly learned swordsmanship!" are all examples of things Broly and Alice want boys to do.
If some unreasonable demands are eliminated and the other reasonable demands are met, Alice's happiness level will increase.
In practical terms, the more times a red-haired girl calls a boy's name, the more the boy smiles.
When I first met Alice, she was a spoiled and willful little girl, but now, it seems that all that's left of her is her spoiled nature, because she can't out-struggle the boy.
"Hey, Broly, where are you planning to go with Ms. Loki?"
On this day, a day off, Alice ran over to find the boy, only to find Broly and Loki packing their things, which prompted her to ask them a question.
"We're planning to go to the village of Bouyena."
Luo Qixi replied.
"Buyena village?"
Little Alice was a little confused and looked to Kyrie Irwin for help.
"Buyena is a remote village under the jurisdiction of the Boreas family in the territory of Fitoia."
Girenou explained that she was more familiar with the village of Bouyena, thanks to an acquaintance there.
Why did you go to that kind of rural place?
Little Alice looked at Loki and Broly with a puzzled expression.
She didn't see anything particularly interesting about visiting a remote rural village.
Rather than going to such a small place, it's better to stay and play with her.
"We know someone there and want to go see her."
Broly frequently travels between Roya City and Bouyena Village, but spends more time in Roya City.
However, on his days off, he would take Loki to Buena Village to find Little Sylphie to cultivate the girl's happiness stat.
"Is that so? Oh, I don't have anything to do today. If you ask me, I can go to that little village with you."
Broly and Loki exchanged a glance, realizing that little Alice wanted to go to Buena Village with them.
"We'll have to find out sooner or later anyway, so going together isn't a problem."
Broly said.
"However, would your parents and grandfather be willing for you to come with us to a remote little village?"
Luo Qixi asked the question.
"Gileado~"
Little Alice started to fawn over the orc female swordswoman who had followed her, but Kyrie firmly shook her head, saying that she could leave Roya City, but she would at least have to say hello to Lord Sauros and get his permission first.
"Otherwise, considering the time it takes to travel to and from Buena village, they'll worry that you've been kidnapped while they wait for you to get home."
"Woo~"
Alice couldn't argue; she didn't want her family to worry about her, but she also wanted to go with Broly and Loki.
"You two don't leave yet. I'll go back and get Grandpa's permission."
Finally, after saying those words, little Alice took off running towards home to find her grandfather.
. . . .
"It's so slow~"
In the village of Buena, a little girl with green hair sat on a rock at the village entrance, resting her chin on her hand and waiting for someone, while holding a beginner's magic book in her arms.
"The lesser demons are waiting for the greater demons again!"
Just then, some village children passed by and saw her sitting alone on a rock, so they shouted loudly in her direction.
"So what if it is? Be careful, I'll tell Sister Luo Qixi and she'll teach you a lesson."
Little Xilufei wasn't afraid of them at all. With her older siblings backing her up, she stood up confidently and shouted at the children.
"Shame on her! Roltz's daughter only knows how to tattle. Don't talk to her, or she'll be targeted by those terrifying demons!"
The group of children scattered like birds and beasts, and little Xilufei could only sit back down in silence.
