Chapter 70

When Mina returned to the castle, she found Lucas was still in the study room with a bowl of polished rice porridge on the desk waiting for her. This scene made her smile brighter, and her killing intent, which had remained as an aftermath of her killings, disappeared very quickly.

"Welcome back." Lucas said, looking up to Mina and smiling. "You must be hungry. This is the gift for your hard work."

"Yes. I'm very hungry. And thank you, young master." Mina said, wiping her hands on the side of her coat unconsciously. Even her hands didn't have any blood, but she subconsciously didn't want Lucas, who she thought was gentle, to learn that she was someone that could kill without hesitation.

"This is just simple porridge. There isn't any lean meat or any other stuff in there." Lucas said with a smile and gave the big bowl to Mina which was filled with porridge.

Seeing Lucas's smile, Mina's agitated heart became more peaceful, she nodded obediently and sat on the desk with her buttocks. She started to eat while holding the big bowl in her hands.

From the first bite, Mina knew that this porridge was not prepared by Nicole, but cooked by the young master because the taste was exactly the same as the polished rice porridge she ate when she was released from the dungeon by Lucas. When she met Lucas for the first time.

"The past is the past. Today is a new beginning." Lucas said gently. He could tell that there was something which was bothering Mina.

"Mm." Mina paused briefly while eating porridge and said softly, "Young Master, the porridge you cook is more delicious."

"Ha ha ha… Nicole's gonna make me cook for everyone if you say that." Lucas said while laughing.

"Nicole won't do that. She's not someone who's going to make you work." Mina said, shaking her head. She licked her lips. She wanted to ask something, but she didn't know whether or not she should say it.

"Say what you want to say. Right now, you don't look like the Mina that I know. You are like someone else. The Mina I know will always say what is on her mind." Lucas said while folding his arms on his chest.

"Young Master, I'm talking about what if…" Mina blushed slightly. She stopped eating the porridge in her hands, and her purple eyes stared at Lucas's black eyes seriously.

"What if?" Lucas asked, tilting his head slightly. 'Mina's behavior is strange.Is it because she killed someone today? I thought that killing Carter and Fez would help her get rid of some of the trauma they had left her when they captured and locked her up into the dungeon.'

"Huh." Mina suddenly took a deep breath and put her favorite polished rice porridge aside. Her cat's ears stood up and her tail swung more frequently behind her back. This was the sign of extreme nervousness for a cat beastkin.

Lucas was also infected by Mina's seriousness, and he also sat up straight, "Tell me, what do you want to say?"

"That… that…" Mina blushed even more, her cat ears shook repeatedly, "It's that, Young Master, that… what kind of girl will you marry in the future?"

"What?" Lucas was stunned. He hadn't expected Mina to ask that question with a serious expression. He hadn't considered it at all, since he was very young. Of course, people his age in this world already have quite a few children.

"Why are you asking this?" Lucas asked Mina back. He looked up and saw Mina's shy expression. He saw Mina with her hands twisting the corners of her clothes. This was the first time he had seen her making that expression.

"I- I just suddenly wanted to know," Mina said, panicking a little. She hurriedly got down from the desk while getting the bowl of porridge in her hands and ran towards the door. "Young Master, it's okay even if you don't say it."

Lucas blinked and smiled gently. "I may marry a female beastkin."

"Huh?" Mina, who had just gotten to the door, stopped abruptly. In the next second, she panickedly opened the door and fled the next moment while closing the door quickly.

"Slam." 

Mina shut the door abruptly and stood in the hallway with her face red and misty eyes. She didn't know what happened to her tonight, but she actually asked what kind of woman the young master would marry as his wife. Even though she already knew the answer to the question. She thought that a noble man would definitely marry a noble girl. Even if the noble is different, he will marry a commoner girl, such as a beautiful and capable girl like Nicole.

Instead of a beastkin like her, a beastkin with no special skills, a beastkin who can only kill, and likes to eat polished rice porridge, even if she is very beautiful.

The nobles will never marry beastkin, and no one of the nobles of the human race had ever married a beastkin. If anyone does then he would become a laughing stock for the rest of the nobles.

But she still asked because she had some hope in her heart about the young master's answer. She was not qualified to ask, but she couldn't hold back in the end. Now, Mina felt lucky to have asked that question. Lucas's answer was an outrageous one, but it was also the answer that she wanted to hear the most. She felt like she was in the seventh sky.

Mina smiled and walked away happily. She kept chanting the words "May marry a beastkin" repeatedly. Mina would be happy for many days even if it was just a lie, but she knew that Lucas wouldn't lie to her.

Even if Lucas wouldn't marry her, she would still stay by his side. Forever.

'Isn't it also a kind of happiness to be able to be by the side of your beloved one? Is it love or what?'
