After staying in Busa for a few days, Lulunaka seemed to have suddenly lost interest in it. One night, she said to Romuona and Julius, "I'm not interested in this city anymore … Get ready. We'll leave tomorrow."
Speaking of this, Lulunaka turned her head and saw Ann's incredulous expression. She added, "Of course, we can leave in a few days … But we have to leave in the end."
The four of them sat around a round table and could easily see each other's expressions. Just like how Lulunaka could see Ann's expression, Ann could also clearly see Julius and Romuona's stunned faces.
"This is really sudden … Are you not happy in this place?" Ann asked Lulunaka.
Lulunaka was still using her fork to deal with the steak in front of her. She even almost used her hand. "I'm not unhappy, I just feel a little bored …" Lulunaka made a strange sound when she spoke to Ann. She completely treated the steak in front of her as a formidable enemy. "This is a place that makes people happy. But as long as there is nothing more interesting for me, my mood will soon become low and I will become uninterested in anything.
I've had enough fun here. It's time to go to the next new city. "
Speaking of this, Lulunaka raised her fork and smiled at Ann. "There's another reason. It's very difficult to do business here. Everyone is very shrewd. Things can't be sold."
Ann was amused by Lulunaka's words. "Sometimes I forget that you're an alchemist and a businesswoman."
"How can a businesswoman be like her? Even if she sells herself, she can't get much money." Julius interrupted, and his tone was not good at all.
"If you sell me, you will have no one to rely on."
Lulunaka was not angry at Julius's words at all. Instead, she looked complacent. "I'm your parent. Without your parent, you are just children."
Julius ignored Lulunaka and lowered his head to eat his dinner.
Romuona just watched them talk with a smile. She had no intention of joining in. She was still holding a cup in her hand and drinking hot tea.
When she put down the cup, she said to Lulunaka, "There should be nothing to deal with, right?"
"No. If you want to go, you can go at any time.
But Romuona, if you have something to do, then you can wait a few days. "Lulunaka chewed food in her mouth and said with a lisp.
Romuona shook her head. "There's no need.
Julius and Romuona's reactions made Ann believe that Lulunaka was indeed their elder, parent, and mother.
No matter how she looked at it, the two's reactions were like the attitude of a mother — Julius was a rebellious teenager, and Romuona was a well-behaved girl.
No matter how many times she saw this scene, Ann still found it unbelievable.
The three of them were not acting clumsily to fool Ann. They really gave off such a feeling.
Lulunaka, who looked the most petite and young among the three, was really like a parent.
The one who looked the most young had the right to make decisions that no one would object to.
Ann was a little stunned. In the end, she was called back by Lulunaka's voice and came back to her senses. "That's it. We plan to leave.
Thank you for taking care of us these days, Ann. "Lulunaka said to her.
Ann showed a lonely bitter smile. "Can I continue to take care of you for a while?"
"That's not good, is it?
We're just freeloaders. There's nothing we can do to repay you. "Lulunaka smiled.
Ann heard Lulunaka's reply and did not insist. She just sighed. "Then I'll have to prepare a sumptuous banquet for all of you to send you off."
"That's too polite, Miss Ann."
Lulunaka smiled until her eyes narrowed. "We're going to Nicaea next. I don't think Ann has the time to continue following us, right?
But maybe we'll be able to meet in Nicaea sometime. "
"I hope so." Ann smiled at Lulunaka.
After dinner, Ann and Lulunaka chatted for a while before leaving and returning to their own dormitories.
In the dormitory, Ann took off her armor and clothes. Naked, she went to the window.
There were no clouds in the night. Under the moonlight, her skin seemed to be faintly glowing.
Although she was a Dark Elf, she had never been underground. She belonged to the new generation that lived under the sun since birth.
Her skin color also proved this point. Under the moonlight, rather than black, it would be more accurate to say that her skin was blue.
In a season like winter, Ann did not care about being naked at all. She was also not worried about being seen by others. She stood in front of the window, looked at the moonlight, and sighed.
She was so attentive to Lurunaka and the others, not only because the other party had helped her a lot, but also because this was the main reason. If the other party did not have such strength, she naturally would not be so enthusiastic.
Lulunaka was a strange woman. As an alchemist, the things in her mind were completely different from those old-fashioned craftsmen.
Lulunaka was a talented weirdo, and her two children, Julius and Romuona, had abilities that could not be ignored.
In the powerful New Moon Empire, such a young Silver Warrior was hard to come by.
No matter where the three of them came from, they were all people that could be roped in.
Although Ann had such thoughts, it seemed that the other party did not have such thoughts. In fact, Lulunaka's words were very clear. They would not accept such "good intentions".
It was a pity.
Ann did not have a strong passion for participating in the family's affairs. However, if she had her own strength, no matter what, at least she would not be looked down upon by others. She would also not become someone's chess piece, bargaining chip, or even a consumable.
Although she thought that it was time to rest, Ann could not help but sigh when she thought of the things that she needed to worry about.
Even if she was a member of the younger generation who was looked forward to and doted on by the head of the family, it did not mean that she could live her life as she pleased.
There was too much jealousy and malice concentrated on her, which made her feel insecure.
No matter how many things she did, it seemed that she would be compared to other people of the same generation. Even if she had far surpassed others, she could not be at ease. Because she would be compared to the only supreme existence in the family.
That existence was too distant and lofty. Ann really could not imagine that she could walk side by side with her, or even surpass her.
"It's really hard to be the relative of a hero." Ann muttered to herself. "Auntie … you are too dazzling."
