NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11: Dead
The apology wasn't clear to whom exactly.
Carlotta smiled helplessly at Abyss and apologized to Henry in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, I may have gotten lost in my sleep and did something bad to you."
By bad things, she meant her touching Henry's tail.
In the orc world, this was considered a naked sexual harassment.
A hint of despondency crossed Henry's eyes.
He saw that Carlotta wasn't sleeping very soundly, and guessed that Carlotta was having trouble sleeping in the right position before he let Carlotta lie down on the seat of the car.
When Carlotta was sleeping, she mumbled words like "tail" from time to time, so he let his tail out once, while Carlotta was still sleeping.
Carlotta just apologized and ignored his hints.
Perhaps he should have been more blunt and learned how other males pursued females. Normally, he had been ignoring this, but now that he had Carlotta, he should learn from it.
Thinking so, Henry withdrew his drooping fox ears and tail.
Then, becoming gentle and decent again, the Crown Prince's smiled down at Carlotta, "It's me who has to apologize, I shouldn't have put you on the chair while you were asleep."
Carlotta shook her head, "It's okay, I know you were trying to make me sleep comfortably."
She could be sure that Henry wasn't the type of male to take advantage of people.
As for the ears and tail showing, maybe Henry did it unconsciously while asleep?
Carlotta was not in a good position to ask this question, appearing as if she was deliberately molesting Henry, and could only pretend that this had never happened.
And behind Carlotta and Henry, Abyss' violet eyes through indifference hovered over Carlotta and Henry.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one could see him, he raised his hand and stroked the kitten mark on his forehead, seriously considering whether or not it was feasible to unmark this matter with Carlotta.
Otherwise he didn't know how long he'd be under the mark's control.
Obviously think Carlotta find as many beast husband can, but just because Carlotta touched the crown prince's tail and was furious, hated to give Henry directly under the letter of challenge directly male competition, not the mark is haunted what else can be because of?
Even because the mark was there, his meltdown value actually went straight up because of his emotions.
This was not conducive to his daily life.
If he kept being controlled by the mark in the future, he might as well drop his ability level.
Abyss was confident that even if he didn't have the rank of 4S, he was still the best within the male beast officers. The position of the next marshal would still belong to him.
Under the silent atmosphere in the flying car, the Phoenix made a sound: [It has arrived at residential building 372 in area F6].
Arrived home!
Carlotta stood up and flew towards the door of the Phoenix.
Probably because she had completely fused with her original body, at this moment, Carlotta missed her grandmother who had taken care of her growing up in this world very much.
The car door opened, Carlotta didn't care about the two male beasts behind her, and flew out of the car holding onto the railing herself.
Grandma was indeed already standing at the entrance of the residential building's floor waiting for her.
The elderly female with a head full of white hair had a gentle smile on her face. Seeing Carlotta, the old lady took two steps forward.
Carlotta was also advancing towards the old lady, and when she got close, she even hugged the old lady and said intimately, "Grandma, Carlotta is back."
The old lady Megan had tears in her eyes, touching Carlotta's back, "Good good good, good boy, it's good to be back, grandma has cooked, just waiting for you to come back ...."
Megan is older, but can also go online. She saw the internet was abuzz about the emergence of holy females in the Nore Empire, and also saw the publicly available information about holy females.
The one with double infinite spiritual power and fertility value was surprisingly her family Carlotta!
Not to mention, Carlotta had even been made a duke by the empress herself, owned territories, and had her first husband, Imperial Admiral Abyss!
At this moment, the old lady suddenly stopped talking because she saw Abyss.
Abyss had the mark of Carlotta's beast shape on his forehead, that was the mark of a female beastman to a male beastman.
Since this black-haired, purple-eyed male with deep, handsome features was her family Carlotta's first beast husband, the male in the white uniform with silver hair and golden eyes must be the Imperial Crown Prince.
Abyss, as Carlotta's beast husband, took the initiative to accompany Carlotta home reasonably, the Imperial Crown Prince surprisingly also condescended to come to the F6 district.
This is a civilian area full of pollution!
The old lady suddenly came close to Carlotta's ear and asked in a low voice, "Carlotta, does the Imperial Crown Prince he really want to be your beast husband?"
Henry and Abyss were both 3s level males with good ears.
They both heard the old lady's question.
Then they heard Carlotta's deliberately lowered delicate voice: "Grandma, the crown prince didn't say he wanted to be my beast husband, you only know how to ask questions like this, you don't even care about your granddaughter's body."
The little old lady hears her granddaughter pampering herself and cheerfully says, "Where is it that I don't care about you? Grandma has read all the news on the internet."
After saying this, the little old lady greeted the two male beastmen and went inside to drink water.
As a slum area, the F6 district had dilapidated houses, not to mention that the tap water supplied to the residents was also the kind that had only been sterilized twice. Although it was within the safe range, drinking it for a long period of time would also cause harm to the orc's body.
Old Mrs. Megan looked a bit older than the old people of her age for the same reason.
Neither Henry nor Abyss had ever been to the slums before, and smelling the strange odor in the water, they looked at Carlotta in unison.
So the little female grew up drinking water like this?
No wonder she didn't want to recognize Leo as her female mother. Leo had led a good life with other beast husbands and the children born for those beast husbands, but had been indifferent to Carlotta.
Both males were a little distressed for Carlotta, but Carlotta drank the water as if it were her own.
Then she saw her grandmother bring out slightly processed meat from the kitchen.
The nutrient solution was too expensive, and the orcs in the slums returned to their ancient lives, sometimes going to the forest to hunt. The meat of the beasts that came back from the hunt was washed ten times with disinfectant-containing tap water, and then heated up and cooked, and used to fill their stomachs.
However, this kind of beast meat, like tap water and all the plants on the current planet, contains pollutants inside. Eating a little bit for a short period of time could be expelled from the orc's body, but if it was taken for a long period of time, it would lower the orc's lifespan.
This was the reason why all the noble class orcs only ate nutrient solution.
The noble class could still make do with it, but the orcs in the slums couldn't care less about that, a lower lifespan was better than dying.
Carlotta saw the meat and knew that it was her grandmother's heart for her, and took the plate without hesitation.
"Thank you grandma~"
She smiled sweetly, but pursed her lips at the sight of the beast meat.
In her memory, the beast meat that the original body saw was the normal look of meat, how come the meat she saw had some black particles floating on it? What were these particles? When Carlotta was puzzled, Elderly Mrs. Gu had already distributed the other beast meat, as well as the family's nutrient solution to Henry and Abyss.
"Sorry, this is the best food we have at home." The old lady's face was apologetic, "If you're not used to eating it, there's still nutrient liquid over here."
Henry smiled gently, "This is something ... Carlotta always eats, I happen to want to try it."
Henry suddenly changed his words because of what Carlotta and the old lady had just said.
Carlotta said that he hadn't asked to be her beast husband, and he realized that this was the crux of the matter between him and Carlotta.
Carlotta probably needed to be direct in her courtship, not subtle.
The first step, then, would have to be a change of address.
Suddenly hearing Henry call himself Carlotta, Carlotta looked up quizzically just in time to run into one of Henry's doting golden eyes.
Carlotta blushed and lowered her eyes.
Then what surprised her came again, Abyss' cool voice rang out, "Thank you grandma, Carlotta can eat, so can I."
Carlotta raised her eyes again and gazed at Abyss.
The latter avoided her gaze and cut a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth. The beast meat was only cooked, but otherwise still had the original flavor.
It definitely didn't taste as good as the Advanced Nutrient Solution after entering the mouth.
But Abyss ate it with his face as normal.
So did Henry.
Carlotta saw that both of them had already eaten the meat into their mouths, and after hesitating for a while, she still didn't say anything more.
In fact, Carlotta was tempted to just ask, do you guys see anything black on the meat?
But saying this out loud, it was too much like she was disliking her grandmother's cooking skills, and her grandmother would definitely be sad to hear that.
After a meal was finished, Henry took the initiative to speak, "Grandma, Abyss and I will go outside and take a look around, you and Carlotta must have a lot to talk about."
After Henry said this, he patted Abyss on the shoulder, signaling Abyss to leave with him.
Abyss did understand what Henry meant, and he wasn't one of those fools who didn't know anything about the human condition.
The two males got up and left, and Carlotta thoughtfully helped the little old lady clear away the dishes and the table. Then the grandchildren sat on the broken couch in the living room and told each other how much they worried and missed each other.
Star's medical care is very good, after she successfully enrolled from the F6 area, her grandmother stayed in the hospital for a week, her health indicators were normal, and she was immediately discharged and went home.
After the conversation between the relatives was over, the little old lady turned her words around and asked about Carlotta, "Carlotta, I see that you and the Admiral are not on very good terms, is there something going on between you two?"
