Licaro ran up to Eloline and forced her to stop, then waved the spoon in front of her.
Eloline was carrying two bags in her hands, so she couldn't take the pudding.
"what--"
She simply opened her mouth and waited for Licaro to feed her.
Licaro stuffed the spoon into Eloline's mouth.
"How about it?"
"So sweet."
The soft pudding melted in her mouth, and the sweet taste filled Eloline's taste buds.
For a moment, Eloline couldn't tell whether the pudding itself was so sweet or because it contained the feeling called love.
Is it the taste of sugar or the taste of love?
Eloline wanted to experience it.
"Lin, you are so greedy."
Licaro continued to feed pudding to Eloline. She really enjoyed feeding Eloline.
Eloline didn't say anything, but just kept opening her mouth waiting to be fed.
Finally she was sure that this was the taste of love.
So she suddenly kissed Licaro's lips, which caught Licaro off guard.
Some passers-by on the street stopped to look at them, but Eloline didn't care about other people's looks at all.
The kiss didn't last long. When their lips separated, Lika Luo blushed and said, "What are you doing all of a sudden..."
"Of course it's a kiss."
As expected, I could feel the sweet taste even on Licaro's lips.
"Fool, stupid dragon, this is on the street."
"So what?"
"This is Ed Fallon!"
Although the probability of the father and mother appearing on the street is very low, if their friends see them and tell them, the consequences can be disastrous.
The shy Licaro wanted to rush over and hit Eloline a few times, but when she saw the two big bags in her hands, she stopped.
"Hmph, you'll be in trouble when you get home."
"what--"
Eloline continued to open her mouth.
"No more!"
Licaro protected the pudding box, which still had more than half of the pudding left.
Even if she ate all the pudding, she would not feed Lin another bite.
snort!
Looking at the somewhat shy Licaro, Eloline smiled as if she had succeeded in playing a prank.
Although they still couldn't tell who was the top and who was the bottom, Eloline understood that as long as she could hold back her shyness better than the other person, she would be the winner.
The two walked home while playing and joking. It was cloudy today and it might rain.
When the autumn rain comes, it means the air is about to turn cooler.
Eloline suddenly stopped because she vaguely felt that someone was observing her from behind.
Although it's hard to tell what exactly happened, it might be her intuition.
But when she turned around, she didn't see anyone suspicious.
But the feeling of being observed is always there.
"Lin, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go home."
Eloline secretly became more vigilant. She herself was not too worried about being attacked, but she had to protect Licaro.
The guards of the Duke's mansion were still standing guard at the door loyally. Eloline deliberately reminded them to pay more attention to any unusual situations.
The guards at the mansion had long known that Eloline was the Duke's newly adopted daughter, so Eloline naturally had the right to order them around.
"Lin, are you feeling uneasy?"
Seeing how alert Eloline was, Licaro probably understood what was going on.
Eloline just shook her head: "I'm just a little unsure."
When they returned home, the feeling of being watched disappeared.
But no matter how she put it, that feeling really made her very uncomfortable.
The dragon race's shapeshifting magic is difficult to detect, so even those stronger than Eloline find it difficult to tell her true race.
Eloline suspected that the existence in the dark might not only be monitoring her, but Licaro might also be a target.
These days, Eloline would still keep up to date with all the important news.
For example, the Kingdom of Lombard was occupied by a cult, the Imperial expeditionary force's offensive was stopped, and many nobles and clergy were assassinated.
The defense of the Duke's mansion had been strengthened long ago. As a dignified Duke of the Empire, Wilfin was able to concentrate a great deal of combat power.
In the entire province of Edfallon, the Duke's Mansion should be the safest.
Not only are there many powerful men stationed in the mansion, but also under various detection and defense barriers, not even a bird can fly in.
Many of the nobles who have been assassinated are small nobles. Their own strength is not strong enough, which is why they experience such tragedy.
As for the great nobles, they have too many ways to save their lives.
The Church of Light has branches in every city, and Edfallon's branch has retained many clergy who are capable of dealing with most emergencies.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Doris sitting and drinking tea.
"You bought so many books again? Lin, let me help you carry them."
"No need, mother."
Eloline declined her mother's kindness. The two bags were heavy for humans, but they were nothing to her.
"Mother, let's go put the books in the study first."
"After that, get ready for dinner."
"Uh-huh!"
Licaro took Eloline to the study, which was her treasure room. Any book in it was a masterpiece worth reading over and over again.
After entering the study and closing the door, Licaro was about to kiss her, but Eloline held her head with her hand, preventing her from succeeding.
"Well, why are you resisting?"
"Shh... look outside."
Eloline motioned to Licaro to look out the window. It was raining outside.
"It's just raining."
"Look carefully."
"..."
Likalo looked carefully and finally found where the problem was.
Why is this rain...black?
Just like ink.
PS: The hot season is finally over (referring to reality)
Chapter 2 - Disaster 084 Black Rain
The dark rain hit the window, making it a little blurry.
Licaro looked at the scene outside the window and felt it was a little weird.
Because of the rain, visibility became even lower in the evening.
"How strange, I've never seen rain of this color before."
The rain falling outside at this moment was not an illusion, it was really black.
"I haven't seen it either."
Eloline turned on the magic crystal lamp in the study, lighting up the room again.
The black rain made the atmosphere a little weird, and people couldn't help but worry that something might happen.
Thinking about the strange feeling she had felt on the street before, Eloline felt that now was the time to be most vigilant.
She told Licaro her idea and got her support.
The two quickly left the study and came to the living room.
Seeing the two people who were a little flustered, Doris said, "What's the hurry?"
"Mom, look outside. It's raining."
"Well……"
Doris hadn't paid attention to what was happening outside before. She got up and walked to the living room window, looking at the scene outside with a surprised expression.
How can there be black rain?
Recently, the empire has been plagued by various assassination attempts, so Doris has remained highly vigilant.
She pulled out a button-like object from her pocket and pressed it.
Eloline watched Doris's actions and had no idea what she was doing, but Likalo knew.
The function of that item is to summon strong men who are responsible for guarding the Duke's mansion, and their qualification standard is to arrive within half a minute.
Doris waited nervously. After about a minute, she ran over and grabbed Eloline and Likalo's hands: "Follow me!"
No matter what happens now, we should get to a safe place first.
"Don't ask so many questions, just follow me to the basement!"
Doris was very anxious. Even though both of her daughters were capable of fighting, she didn't want any conflict to occur.
What's more, she didn't know much about possible enemies.
The basement of the Duke's mansion is very safe. It not only has sufficient supplies, but also has a solid defensive array.
As her mother dragged her hand to the basement, Likalo suddenly asked, "Mom, where is Dad?"
"He is still in the City Lord's Mansion."
Wilfin is a very busy man and usually works in the City Lord's Mansion.
"Mother, go to the basement first. I'll go find father!"
"Too dangerous!"
"It's okay! I know magic, I can protect myself!"
Likalo would never feel comfortable leaving her father outside alone. Now it was raining strangely outside and she couldn't contact the guards in the mansion, which made it easy for her to think of the worst.
After all, many nobles and politicians in the empire have been assassinated recently. Although the defense of the Duke's mansion is very tight, an accident may have really happened now.
Determined to find her father, Likalo let go of her mother's hand and ran out the door.
And Eloline, who had been silent all this time, also let go of Doris's hand.
"Mother, please hide quickly. I will protect Licaro."
Time was of the essence, so Eloline escorted her mother into the basement and then quickly followed her out.
It was raining heavily outside, but we could use the magic barrier to prevent ourselves from getting wet. Eloline quickly ran to Likalo and held her hand.
