Chapter 192
I watched Tama and Grulf eat as I ate my own dinner .
“Wuf-wuf-wuf-wuf…”
“Guf-guf-guf-guf…”
They were eating quite fast . Their plates were on the ground near my feet .
On the other hand, Lord Gerberga ate on top of the table .
As he was a god, it did not feel right to make him eat on the floor .
Besides, he was small enough not to get in the way .
“Clu-cluck . ”
He was also eating away happily .
Lord Gerberga’s food was leafy vegetables, corn, and meat .
Grulf mostly ate meat . Tama had meat and potatoes .
By the way, the order in which they ate was always Lord Gerberga, Tama and then Grulf .
As they ate, I petted Tama on the back .
“Wuf-wuf-wuf…”
He continued to eat obliviously .
“He seems to have gained some weight?”
“Yes, I am very relieved to see him fatten up . ”
Philly said happily .
Everyone had been worried about how skinny he was .
“Tama, there’s more if you want some . ”
“Woof!”
If Tama ever looked like he was still hungry, Grulf would share his own food .
But Grulf was still growing, so it was important that he ate a lot too .
“You eat more too, Grulf . There’s still a lot left . ”
I petted Grulf as he ate as well .
After a while, they both finished eating .
Today, they were both satisfied with their first serving .
“I’ll get them some water . ”
I was about to stand up, but Milka got up first .
“You stay in your chair, Mister Locke! I’ll fetch the water!”
Milka brought over a pitcher and poured Grulf and Tama some water .
They both drank it as if it were incredibly delicious .
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Lord Gerberga finished his meal and walked across the table to jump on my lap .
“Don’t you want any more, Lord Gerbera?”
“Cluck . ”
Apparently, not .

Lord Gerberga started to wriggle into my clothes .
“What is it? Lord Gerberga . ”
“Lord Gerberga wants you to coddle him . ”
Luchila said .
“I see . ”
And so I gently petted Lord Gerberga .
“Cluck-cluck . ”
He cooed comfortably .
Once dinner was eaten and we had finished cleaning up, Eric and Goran arrived .
“Eric and Goran . Did you both eat? I can prepare you some if you haven’t . ”
“Oh, thank you . Gladly!”
“Leave it to me!”
After Goran replied, Milka ran to the kitchen before I had finished standing up .
“And you, Eric?”
“I’m grateful for the offer, but no thank you . Refi wouldn’t like it . ”
“Ah . That’s true . ”
Eric’s wife, Refi, was very worried for his health .
And it was true that eating dinner at the palace and then at my mansion, was a little too much .

And she had personally asked me to make Eric stop .
“Well, I will put on some tea for Mister Eric . And everyone else as well . ”
Nia and Luchila stood up to make the tea .
“Thank you, Nia and Luchila . ”
“It’s nothing . ”
“Don’t mention it . ”
“Cluck-cluck . ”
Lord Gerberga poked his head out from my shirt .
Eric saw him and smiled .
“Lord Gerberga seems like he’s having fun . ”
“Cluck . ”
I don’t know if it was just me, but Lord Gerberga looked rather smug .
“Eric . How have you been dealing with things in the city?”
“Aye . I sent all my knights out to investigate every area . Their work completed this afternoon . ”
“That’s fast . ”
“Speed was very important . ”
It had happened on the same day that we attacked the enemy’s main base . An attack on the royal capital .
But it was small in scale compared to the attack on the water dragon settlement .

It was a group of lesser and arch vampires that were led by a single Vampire Lord .
In all, there were about forty of them .
Goran said,
“If we hadn’t had a few beastkin wolves working as knights here, who knows how much damage the enemy would have done!”
“Aye . The measures Eric took really paid off . It’s amazing . ”
I said . But Eric shook his head slowly .
“If anything, it was probably the magic bracelets that you and Philly made and gave to the guards that had a bigger effect . ”
And so Eric thanked me and Philly .
“Locke . Philly . We owe you a lot . I thank you as a representative of the kingdom . ”
“I barely did anything . It was mostly just Philly . ”
“No-not at all . ”
“Woof . ”
She was very humble . It was because she was trained as a noble of the higher ranks .
Tama must have sensed that she was nervous, and he seemed to become nervous as well .
I asked Eric,
“So the archs and the Lord were able to break through the barrier with magic tools?”
“Exactly . ”
“They must have a lot of them now . This is bad . ”
“Of course, we cannot be too careful . However, that is not the thing I am the most afraid about right not . ”
Eric said with a severe expression .
