For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 101

Hearing that Everly doesn't remember anything about a sorcerer or a suspicious dude, Lennox concluded that it would be useless to ask her furthermore. Thus, he let her do what she wants and returned to his seat to take care of the work that piled up for a week.

It was nap time, thus, Everly decided to sleep in Lennox's room. She opened the wardrobe and pulled a pink pyjama of her size. Ever since Rachel took maternity leave for two months, Everly was left with no one to fear, she has abounded her room and been living in either Lennox's or Jennings's rooms. Although the servants were still pestering her every day to return to her appointed quarters, they made sure to stuff a good portion of her clothing and toys in both rooms.

Everly shoved the pyjama on Lennox's face saying:" here, help Everly change clothes "

Lennox closed his eyes shut.

' calm down..... At least she is not ripping her clothes and running naked like Caelus, she is willing to wear something. I have raised kids worst than wild beasts, this one is rather cute, she just needs to use her brain a little '

After a moment of fooling himself, Lennox opened his eyes, beckoned Everly to come closer and started unbuttoning her shirt. He said indifferently.

" Have I not taught you how to get dressed already? "

" But Lennox taught me how to wear a dress, Everly still doesn't know how to do the buttons "

Lennox sighed:" At least, you should call a maid to do this for you. It's not proper for a man to help a lady dress up "

" don't worry, Everly is not a lady. I heard a scary lady say that Everly is a d*ck-blocker, I guess it means a knight gourd "

Lennox instantly choked on his saliva, followed by a hysterical coughing session.

' Who the fuck said that to her face?!!!! '

From the first day Everly appeared in the imperial palace, the Emperor's harem never had a peaceful day. It was already hard enough to capture the Emperor's attention, however, a mysterious ball of fluff popped out of nowhere, sticking to him like lasagna and making it harder to approach him. At first, she looked cute and loveable, but seeing how she continuously disturbed their bedroom activities, who could see her as the angelic baby anymore?

' I know she is annoying, but to actually hate her...I mean just look at that face! '

Lennox calmed himself. He quickly finished clothing Everly before patting her shoulder and saying.

" all done, now go to bed "

" Everly wants bedtime story too "

You hear that tone? You hear what this girl is saying? Isn't she asking for a beating? Does she take a honourable being as her servant? Does she think that he will do whatever she wanted?

Well....damn fuck he will do it.

With a deep sigh, Lennox put aside the documents in front of him, straightened his torso then extended his hand towards her, saying.

" Alright, come here "

Everly happily climbed into Lennox's lap, she leaned on his chest as she waited for him to start speaking. Her jasmine scent invaded Lennox's nose trails, making him a bit dizzy. He pulled a small blanket from God-knows-where and warped it around her, saying leisurely.

" what story would you like to hear? I guess girls your age like the hero and princess type of stories. Want me to tell you one? "

" no, Everly doesn't like heroes "

" hm? You don't want to marry a young brave hero who put the world before himself, righteous, kind and handsome? I thought these were the standards for young girls' ideal husband "

The warm blanket and cold chest next to her created the best environment for sleeping. Everly snuggled on Lennox's shoulder, a bit annoyed by the bullshit he was spouting instead of telling her a story, she said with a muffled voice.

" Everly doesn't care about the world, if they die then they die. And master said that marriage is the end of happiness, so Everly won't get married. But I still like pretty people, so Everly wants to live in a house full of pretty people"

Lennox was speechless for a moment before he suddenly brusted in laughter, shaking his head and slapping his hip.

"Look at you, look at you! So young but already planning to make your male harem?! Hahahaha- good, very good. I see you are growing quite well "

He can laugh now since he clearly knows that it's very difficult to develop any sexual desire towards a Love, which means those pretty people will mostly be her servants. And even if one managed to have such affection, that guy will die the moment he realizes it. Thus, Lennox freely laughed it out, he could laugh for now.....

Seeing him laughing like that, Everly puffed her cheeks and pulled on his hair.

" Why are you laughing at Everly?! Idiot Lennox stop it! "

Only when Everly pulled out a handful of his hair, did Lennox quiet down. He stood, carrying her in his arm, and walked towards the bed.

" yes, yes. It's my fault, I am the mean one. Please spare this old head of mine "

He tucked her in the bed then headed to pick some of her stuffed toys for her to hug. When he turned back Everly was already asleep.

" Walter "

" Yes my lord "

" Call Ajiad for me, and see when the meeting is finished, hold Duke Welfmore, tell him to come to my study "

"....."

Not hearing a response, Lennox raised an eyebrow as he ripped open the letter in his hand.

" What is it? Just say it "

" I...I don't like that crazy teenager, there is something weird with his head, it makes me shudder "

Lennox unnoticeably chuckled, he pretended not to hear the jealousy under Walter's voice, saying.

" Well, his brain has a few tangled wires but his work is quite efficient "

There was no response. After a good while of silence, Lennox raised his head asking with a suppressed laugh.

" You are not sulking, are you? "

"...."

Yes, he is.
