The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 54

The sunlight appeared timidly from behind the mountain, scattering the light to the warm from behind the thin fog that enveloped the Bloom Mist region. The chirping of melodious birds plus the breeze that brings the fragrance of flowers makes the atmosphere this morning feel calm and peaceful.

The residents have been doing activities as usual, including beautiful girls with black curls in this emo style. The girl stared at her reflection in the mirror that looked pitiful. Puffy eyes could barely open making his mood crumble this second as well.

"Dam. Because last night my eyes became swollen like this." Leona's grouse was upset.

Leona wore a simple maroon dress in combination with a black vest that was deliberately not buttoned. Not to forget the decoration in the form of hair pins made from an arrangement of red pomegranate stones that form roses with gold chain tassels beautify its appearance.

'Tok' 'Tok'

"Lake in!"

Leona's bedroom door opens and Sam appears from behind the door. He bowed respectfully to Leona.

"Leona-sama, are you having breakfast in the room or in the dining room? Jim-sama is waiting for your answer in the dining room." Said Sam politely.

"I had breakfast in the dining room." Leona Sahut.

"good. Then I'll step down."

"How's it?" Jim asked Sam as soon as the man arrived in the dining room.

"Leona-sama said she had breakfast in the dining room, Jim-sama." Sam said Leona's words.

"Hm... Alright." Jim nodded his head.

Soon Leona arrives in the dining room and sits to Jim's right. The man looked at the nephew worriedly.

"Are you okay? You cried for three hours last night. You intend to spend your tear stock until it swells like that?" Ask Jim to reveal the facts while being literate.

"I'm fine, Uncle. There's no harm in me crying anyway, right?" Leona's law allows.

"As far as you are. Let's eat."

They had breakfast together. Upon completion, Leona was quick to train at the doujo located behind their residence. Leona immediately changed her clothes with special clothes that only existed in this village.

'Buk' 'Buk'

'Kraakk's'

'Shelf'

"Replace!"

'Buk' 'Buk'

'Kraakk's'

"Replace!"

Some men immediately came with a samsak and put it up, the rest cleaned up the samsak that had been torn and damaged.

Leona set her breath for a moment. Sweat was pouring down his body. I don't know how many times the girl destroyed the samsak that made some of the servants and guards practicing in the doujo shudder in horror at Leona's brutality today.

"Leona-sama, Emperor Ein and your comrades came and are now in a special living room." Kaze gave a report while handing Leona a towel.

"Thank you, Kaze." Said Leona while wiping off the sweat. "I'll be there soon after destroying one more samsak."

"Leona-sama, Alpha team managed to catch some rats belonging to the royal bastard."

"good job. I'd like to ask Jim for his opinion on the next step."

Kaze immediately moved away and stood by the door. He saw Leona take a swing and then kicked the samsak until the contents came out.

"Leona-sama, do you intend to make this doujo full of sand?" Protest one of the servants who trained there.

"You can clean it with magic, right. Then I'll go first. Your salary will double if you want to clean up without using magic." Leona said as she passed from there.

The waiter who was there could only shake his head with the behavior of Leona who was not there ahklak. Indeed, he was their employer. But his behavior did not resemble a noble or a woman.

💠💠💠💠

Jim looked at the Emperor and Leona's comrades as well as some of the palace's soldiers in confusion. What wind was there until the Emperor himself came to this residence? Moreover, they disguised themselves as ordinary people. Indeed, they used civilian clothes, but the quality and materials that showed that the man before him had a high position, not to mention his aura that was so strong.

"No need to salute. That's exhausting." Emperor Ein said as soon as he saw Jim and some servants were about to bow their bodies to greet him.

"I'm Jimmy Kirito Calisius, leader of Bloom Mist village. Please come in, Sire. You guys are too." Jim introduced himself politely as he let them in.

They immediately entered Calisius' residence while staring in astonishment. Unique wooden buildings that do not exist in any place, let alone the garden in the courtyard of this residence is arranged so neat and beautiful.

In fact they could see some servants and guards busy practicing under the blossoming sakura trees.

"They were trained by Leona for the unexpected. Considering this village is adjacent to the central region, Sire." Jim explained.

The emperor understood. When entering this village, he was stunned by the beauty of the village and the appearance of its inhabitants. They wear clothes that they think are strange. Even women wear pants, both trousers and shorts. Unlike the people of the capital who use skirts. Although women wear pants is a natural thing, but still they prefer to use skirts.

They are now in a special living room. Some waiters came with some snacks and drinks typical of Bloom Mist village.

"Sorry, Sire. In this village there is no term employer and subordinate. Hope you are pleased with our impoliteness." Said Jim.

"No problem." Emperor lightly.

"Then please sit down." Jim let them.

"You sit down too." The Emperor's word to his soldiers.

They stared at each other for a moment and hesitantly sat down with the Emperor.

"Please enjoy, Sire." Jim.

"He's fine. He'll be here soon." Jim sipped his drink.

"Thank God then." Emperor Ein said in relief. It was better for him to tell me a little about the Tigries clan considering that in the Kamitsuki Empire there were some nobles who had the blood of that clan, although they were few in number.

'Tap' 'Tap' 'Tap'

The sound of footsteps echoing made those in the room choose silence, while Jim sighed. The man had already guessed who the owner of the footsteps was.

'BRAAKK!'

"Uncle! Some madman from the opera empress has been sitting sweetly in the dungeon. Should I gouge out their kidneys and then auction them off?" Leona asked while breaking down the door. He had not yet realized an important guest was in the room.

'Uhuk'

The guests choked and coughed at the girl's words. Even some people who were about to sip a drink undid their intentions.

"Can you be a little polite? The emperor and your comrades are visiting." Reproof Jim.

Leona only grinned the horse in response to the reprimand of the uncle. He apologized and left Jim with his guests.

"Please forgive my nephew's insolent behavior, Sire."

"Haha... Doesn't matter. Because this region is already in the middle region, the rules of the Emperor and the kingdom no longer apply here. We're just here to take a vacation, Jim." Said the wise emperor.

Jim breathed a sigh of relief. Leona and all her behavior gave the man a headache.

"So, does my cousin give you a headache, Jim?" Emperor Ein asked as he raised his eyebrows.

Jim's shocked not to get stuck. His nephew was the Emperor's cousin? Not likely.

"My nephew was quite brash and made me have frequent headaches, Sire. But it's better than manners and hypocrites." Jim replied while pressing the niece. He did not want the girl to stay away from him.

"You're right, Jim. Although Leona was quite brash, yet she cared enough about her comrade. I myself am even happy for a team with him even though his behavior makes us difficult." Carl agreed.

"Let's discuss something while going around, Mr. Jim." Emperor Ein said seriously.

💠💠💠💠

"Leona!" Wei Tao, Iven and Eura cried when they saw the girl was busy in the kitchen with some servants.

"Oh, guys. What's up?" Leona asked while busy stirring something. Looks like a dough.

"You're cooking? What are you doing this time?" Eura asked with excitement.

"Later you'll know." Leona said with a mysterious pretentious smile. Then he called the head of the kitchen and told him to fry the dough in hot oil.

Leona was also busy giving instructions to several kitchen chefs. The girl seems to be quite busy. The three young men decided to help.

"You seem busy. Can we help?" Bargain Iven. Instantly Leona's eyes sparkled happy to get the offer.

"of course. Please, yeah."

Leona misses culinary in her home world. So this time he decided to cook typical Korean, Japanese and Chinese food, as well as some typical Indonesian cuisine.

Leona gives instructions to her three friends, but unfortunately Iven and Eura just watch while pretending to be judges by tasting the food that has been cooked. Only Wei Tao was truly willing to help. The kitchen became crowded thanks to the presence of the three young men.

Within two hours they were in the kitchen of Calisius' house. Finally after taking a long time, they finished cooking various types of food.

There is spicy chicken, kimchi, miso soup, grilled sushi, takoyaki and others. There are even bakwan, satay, lawar, and gulai.

"Well!! This food looks so good!" Eura exclaimed in curiosity with drool that was almost dripping.

'Play'

"Don't let your saliva drip over his food, fool!" Iven pinned Eura's head annoyed, worried that her food was tainted by the red-haired young man's saliva.

"I'm not that bad, you son of a bitch." Eura murmured while holding her shrill head.

"Save for you and the servants and guards, yes." Leona ignored the debate between the two young men.

"Well, Leona-sama."

Some waiters came and helped Leona serve food at the dinner table. Then Leona ordered one of the waiters to call Jim and the guests to eat together, remembering that they were about to enter lunchtime.

While waiting, the four teenagers were sitting there chatting sweetly. Soon a voice interrupted them.

"Well, you're here, yeah."

The fourth turned his head and found Jim smiling kindly at him. They just chuckle with his watados.

Behind the man was Carl and the Emperor, and several soldiers dressed in civilian clothes entered the room and joined the dining table awkwardly.

"Please enjoy the food, we hope you like it." Excite them in unison.

"Oh, you guys are cooking? It looks so good." Emperor Ein said as he looked at the foreign food before him.

"Yes, Sire. It's very tasty. You'll regret ignoring it." Eura's words were stirring and a nod from Iven as if agreeing with the young man's words.

"Please, Sire." Jim.

"This is miso soup, this is grilled sushi, this is kimchi, this is bakwan, this is lawar, this is satay, this is takoyaki..." Leona mentioned the name of the food served at the dining table.

The emperor took some food and tasted it, "Gee, this is really delicious. I ate food like this for the first time. Nobles' food is boring." Emperor Ein said as he ate the food voraciously without neglecting the nobility's etiquette.

Instantly, the commotion occurred at the dining table as if afraid of not getting food. The dining table looks like a dining competition.

Jim and Leona could only sweatdrop the Emperor and his followers and begin to eat the food in peace. Because Jim was used to Leona's food.
