Chapter 151: The Second Farewell
"Why is he following us?!" Ellijah did not shyly show her dislike towards River. On the other hand, River did not dare to argue and just lowered his head while stroking the top of Siwon's hair on his lap. Siwon responded, "Ih, don't yell at papa!"
Ah, true. Ava introduces River to the toddler as her nanny, but in the child's tiny brain she deduces herself that River is a papa she has never met.
Of course, adding to the heat of tension between his (fake) fiancee and the monster tamer.
"You listened to the approval yesterday directly, she is now officially Siwon's nanny." The girl's answer seemed to have once not calmed Duke Frost.
"And also, if you're his mother, why would he be a papa?!"
"Just ask yourself for the problem." But Ava knows Ellijah is still reluctant to talk to Siwon, the dragon she still thinks is Eve's mistress.
Is this village man really Siwon's father? Skirt--Agh! Just thinking about it makes him sick.
No, it doesn't seem. A dragon must be born by a dragon also from one of its parents. So that Eve who has the human race, can not produce dragon eggs if indeed River is a sleigh-Ahem, that is. Or did Siwon have nothing to do with Eve? Then it makes more sense. Just look, the dragon boy easily called the monster tamer "father" at their first meeting, not ruling out the possibility that the same thing happened to Eve as well.
It seems denial is Ellijah's hobby.
"May your journey be granted salvation." Completely ignoring the argument going on, Ezra said his farewell respectfully.
"Curtain, shameless." Ah, Adam's irritation hasn't subsided yet, because basically Ava stole the ghost's copyright. But Ava drew a moral line. At least the patent of the recipe is registered under two names, Eve and Adam. Ava does not need to get supernatural persecution because of this problem, after all her royalties can only flow into Ava's pocket. Despite the noise, Ava can still put up with the verbal abuse, she shivers at the thought of what Adam could do if Ava at least did not acknowledge her contribution.
"The ship is leaving!" The crew warned them.
"I'll say goodbye first." Ava's entourage followed the girl on a wooden board that served as a connecting road between the ship and the dock.
Ezra and his three followers bowed respectfully. While some distance away, Ava can see Dom waving spirit as well as Lorah who is still yawning. Naturally, their departure was scheduled on a blind morning so as not to invite too much attention. Because Eve's reputation lately made Ava flooded with residents who want to shake hands to say thank you.
By the way, River has been a dozen times grateful for the help of the beastman brothers for keeping him while isolated in a cage, making his condition better than that of an unkempt zombie patient.
Hm, maybe Ava should also say thank you?
If only the two insisted on following Ava as did River, he would have trouble resisting. Being a princess companion will bring honor and high salary, so he will not be surprised if they both want to use it. However, it seems that the establishment of the two, especially Dom, is different from the way Eve lived. They still want to wander freely, instead of being bound by the rules and high-class manners that are automatically charged to both as a result of their association with the Princess. Ava understood, he could still imagine the gloomy face of Ib whenever his noble sponsor was mentioned.
Ava does not know how many times Dom sold Eve's name as a booster status in Oranera.
Dom still wants fame, but too with the princess will only be a burden.
