Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 270 Ozler's Journey 5

"Claire, you are so slow. How can you let the ladies wait for you?"

The harvest was over, and at the Bishop family's dinner table, Duke William smiled and teased his two sons who were the last to sit down.

"It's okay, Your Excellency the Duke." As the only guest at today's family dinner, Leila hurriedly responded politely.

She looked at the Duke and Duchess who were smiling and getting along well in front of their children, and couldn't help but glance at Her Royal Highness the Princess beside her, but found that she looked normal and accepted it well, as if she had gotten used to it.

Is the adult world like this? Leila tilted her head and thought of her parents.

"Please forgive my rudeness." Claire smiled apologetically to Leila, pulled out a chair and sat down below Duke William. Following slowly behind her was Canion, who had a bruised face and a look of resentment.

"Eating these things again, is this how you treat our distinguished guests? I feel so sorry for Miss Taylor." Canyon glanced at the table and had nothing nice to say.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Leila." Cynthia looked at the cute little guest and said, "After all, this place...can't compare to Gloria..."

She turned her head and glared at Canyon again - "It's not even close to Highgarden."

Kanien shrank his neck, not daring to speak any more, and angrily stuffed the food in front of him, which he usually looked down upon, into his mouth.

"I feel it is very rich. Thank you for your hospitality, ma'am." Leila quickly responded to the beautiful and powerful commander of the front line. At the same time, she looked at Catherine with some guilt. Although Ozler was poor in material terms and there was nothing to choose from in terms of food and daily necessities, she was living a relatively comfortable life these days compared to others.

Catherine saw her look, winked at her mischievously, and said nothing.

In fact, Leila didn't eat well these days, but Lilith felt sorry for her sister and prepared everything for her. All kinds of finished and semi-finished foods were stuffed into Catherine's mouth. In the past few days, she also benefited from Leila's help and sneaked a lot of delicious food outside the dining table.

"Food is not important, Canyon." Claire was very satisfied with the food. After giving her brother a loving education, everything he ate tasted delicious.

"The important thing is that our family can finally sit down and enjoy dinner together again, right?"

Cynthia was also somewhat moved by these words. She looked around and felt a sour sense of happiness overflowing from her heart. Her daughter was already like an adult...

"Look at your brother, Canion, you still have a lot to learn!" William looked at his eldest son, his eyes full of pride. Cynthia taught him very well.

"Yeah..." Kanyon was once again compared to his brother by his parents, and he felt even more unhappy. His tone became sarcastic, "I am so lucky to have a family like you. I am grateful for the gift of the God of Light."

"I think Canion feels that dinner time interrupts the time he spends with his brother." Catherine said calmly, glancing at Claire, "But you can continue after dinner."

"Don't worry! I'll take him with me wherever I go these days!"

Claire received her sister's instructions and grinned at Canyon, revealing her white teeth.

Kanyon: ...They're teaming up again! It's always like this!

He sneered and was about to open his mouth to fight back, but when he saw his mother raising her glass, he quickly shut his mouth.

"The fact that we can sit here and have dinner together in peace is not because of the blessing of the God of Light." Cynthia glanced at her good-for-nothing second son and stared at him until he lowered his head.

"It's because of the courage of Goletia's magicians and guardians, and the generous help of our allies."

She smiled warmly at Leila, who hastily raised her glass.

"Even if I have to thank someone, I should thank them. Oh, and——"

Cynthia suddenly thought of something and smiled at Catherine. "We no longer have to worry about food today, thanks to that dragon lady. Her name is Lilith, right?"

Leila sat in her seat with the cup in her hand.

"Dang Cang——"

Kanien's silver spoon fell into the soup plate with a crisp sound, and all the soup splashed on him. However, he did not get mad as usual. Instead, he looked at his mother with a dull face.

"Mother, what did you say?"

"mom!"

Catherine finally showed a trace of panic. She told her mother a lot about Lilith, but forgot to tell her that they didn't intend to let other people know.

"Oh, this - so no one knows yet? I thought..." Cynthia saw her daughter's expression and immediately realized that she seemed to have made a mistake.

"I see. No wonder you were so crazy about asking for news about the dragon clan." Duke William showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Seeing his daughter's upset face, he comforted her.

"Don't worry, we are all family here. If this is your little secret, no one will tell it to others." He made his promise to Catherine.

"Tsk tsk, our little Catherine has grown up and now has secrets that she doesn't want us to know!" Claire teased with a smile, and when Catherine stared at her, she quickly raised a few fingers and vowed that she would never say anything nonsense.

Catherine ignored the teasing of her family members. She was more concerned about Leila who looked dazed next to her.

"Leila..." Catherine called her softly, and the little red-haired girl looked at her in confusion.

"You must be joking!" Kanien had completely forgotten his table manners. His eyes, which were always smiling, were now wide open. "Lilith? Is she the dragonborn in the rumors? How is that possible? She, she is a noble!"

Catherine turned her head around in annoyance. "What does it have to do with you? Watch your mouth! Dare you say a word?!"

"…I am the elder brother, what about your etiquette? Katherine Bishop!"

"Hey, don't quarrel, don't quarrel, what's wrong with you, Canyon?" Seeing that the quarrel was about to break out again at the table, Claire speeded up his meal while fulfilling his responsibilities as a brother.

"It was obviously she who started it!" Kanyon was so angry that he was about to jump up and down. They were all biased!

"So don't make her angry." William rubbed his hands and advised his youngest son. "You two will be together for a long time. Catherine still has a long summer vacation."

Kanyon: "...I want to go back to Highgarden."

"You wish." Catherine sneered and imitated Canyon's speech in the carriage, "His Majesty the King has just recovered, and some people are anxious? This is a precious time that our dear Uncle George has given us to reunite as a family."

She pulled Leila up and was about to leave, wanting to comfort the little girl who was a little confused because she had received too much information. But just as she reached the door, it was pushed open from the outside, and a black-armored knight walked in hurriedly, heading straight for Duke William, who was still smiling and chatting with his family about future family activities.

"Your Majesty, an urgent message from High Court."

The knight forced his way into the conversation without caring that the adults were not finished yet. Everyone at the table looked at him sideways, and Catherine also stopped and looked back.

"——His Majesty the King suddenly fainted during the morning meeting. His condition is very bad. Her Majesty the Queen hopes that you can return as soon as possible."

Ignoring his father's sudden change of expression, Canion suddenly jumped up from his seat and cheered -

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
