Got too lost in random thoughts, didn't notice why these two are kneeling, but this obedient kneeling posture… Liora's frightened face… No, how can I think such nonsense at a time like this…
"You two get up quickly, why are you kneeling, what's wrong, speak slowly."
Intending to help with hand, but stopping halfway… the incident with Lalatina still lingers.
Seems these two are still very scared, not daring to stand, that look, it's not fake. Definitely something happened. This is the time to be serious.
"You two stand up first, then slowly tell me what just happened."
Luna, the eldest, still with some fear on her face, but slowly stood up, beside her, Liora still couldn't calm down, unable to stand.
Looking at Liora's frightened face… This little girl, what happened, who would dare scare such a lovely girl like this… Inhuman… Don't worry, little sister, I'll get to the bottom of this.
Noah gently, slowly approached, asking with concern.
"Little Liora, no need to fear, with me here, no one can harm you. Your legs must be hard to move, let me help you… First, breathe deeply…"
Seeing this terrifying Manor Lord so close, Liora felt her heart about to leap out of her chest, although, at this moment, he wasn't as scary as before, but her heart still couldn't bear it.
Seeing the comforting had no effect, turning to Luna to ask.
"What happened?"
After hearing Luna's explanation, Noah silently looked at the ground… A while later, when Liora seemed to calm down.
Using hand to brush the sweat-soaked hair on Liora's forehead. Smiling, saying.
"Seems you're still very scared of me, huh. Looks like, we need to interact a lot more in the future. No… we need to talk right now."
So, before Liora could react, one hand draped over her shoulder, the other lifting her in a princess carry, placing her on the nearby table.
Sitting on the only chair opposite. Looking straight into those dreamy, bewildered blue eyes, holding those soft hands tightly, asking sternly.
"Liora, do I eat people?"
Liora sat obediently, not daring to move, shaking head repeatedly…
"No,… not clear…"
Noah fell silent…
"Right, I will eat you, when you grow up. Congratulations, you guessed correctly."
"Do you think I'll eat your brother too?"
She, seeming her fear couldn't grow any further, shook her head, saying.
"No, you won't eat… because brother isn't tasty"
Seeing this action worked, Noah continued.
"Why do you think I won't eat your brother?"
"… I don't know."
Noah… Eye to eye, slowly saying each word.
"No, you're wrong. I will eat your brother too."
Liora, hearing this, froze, a bit confused…
Seeing this little girl no longer scared, gently rubbing her hand, saying.
"But if you're obedient, listen well, I'll consider not eating your brother."
Liora… a bit silent, quietly looking at the person in front.
… Silent…
Noah, seeing this, whispered to himself.
"Seems you don't believe, first I'll eat you, then eat your brother too."
Saying this, taking one of her fingers, putting it in mouth, biting it with a crunch.
Luna, standing beside, watching all this, felt a bit unreal…
…
So, after Liora stopped crying.
"You two, today didn't get token recognition, you can come back tomorrow, first go to the kitchen to eat, Lalatina has gone ahead of you.
After eating, come to my room, I have tasks to assign you.
For now, I have things to do, going first."
