Chapter 153 – Lord of Frontier’s Holiday
That day, Ares was staring outside from his office window .
The sky outside was clear blue with no clouds . A great day to take a nap or go outside to enjoy the atmosphere .
[On a day like this… Why do I still have to work here…?]
His muttering was left unheard by everyone… only those with supernatural hearing like Helmut and Zetos could hear him . But then again, those two never respond to this kind of complaint .
Ares sighed . He suddenly overheard the voices of the maids talking to each other .
They’re Teresa and Lotte, two of the many slaves he bought quite some time ago . Next to Teresa was her nine years old daughter, Lulu, who tried her best to help out .
By the way, the husband Robson was currently trimming the trees with some other men in the garden .
Teresa’s entire family had unfortunately been turned into slaves, but that’s also what made them end up here working at the frontier territory .
Both Lotte and Teresa similarly came from rural areas . Perhaps that’s why they clicked together easily .
[Once upon a time, on a day like this, the villagers would get together to have a picnic outside… it’s really fun, though it’s just a happy memory now . ]
[Oh, we also did similar things in our village . Perhaps it’s the same everywhere?]
[I mean, it’s fun, getting together with families and friends . ]
[Moreover it’s easy to make the preparation, so we can do it anytime]
After overhearing their conversation, Ares finally stood up .
[Thaaaaaat’s iiiiiiiiiiitt !!]
Teresa, Lulu and Lotte were startled by the sudden loud outburst . When they went to check… Ares’s face was already right in front of them .
[Ee… . was that master’s voice? Well… Eh? Master?]
[Wh Ares-sama, that’s dangerous…]
Those voices seemingly fell on deaf ears since Ares continued on with a blurt .
[Thank you!! Teresa! Lotte!!]
[ [ … . . yes? ] ]
[I just came up with a good idea! Thank you for giving me such a good inspiration!]
[ [ … . yes?? ] ]
Their replies didn’t reach Ares either since he already scooted away and left in a hurry .
[That… will it be alright…?]
[Hopefully George-sama and the Lord’s wives won’t get mad…]
And just like that, Ares hurriedly headed to the dining room . Meanwhile, Lotte and Teresa looked on worriedly at their master .
The garden in Ares’ mansion was currently crowded with people . All of them had a smile on their faces .
[What did you say earlier again…?]
There was a bitterness on George’s face . But even so, he had a glass of liquor in his hand as he spoke .
Ares had visited the government office while George was also there then one-sidedly declared that it’s going to be his rest day just a few minutes ago . He then told the officials to come to his mansion before running back .
The guerrilla attack caught George off guard . Seeing this rare opportunity when George was too startled, his (exhausted) subordinates voiced their support on Ares’ instruction . And just like that, the usually impregnable George finally relented .
[To be swept by the current… what a blunder . ]
[… . even if you say that, you seem to be enjoying this yourself . ]
Next to George was a tower of empty plates, making Ares feel the need to make a verbal jab to that .
[But well, a good and proper rest is really needed after all . ]
After informing George, Ares immediately headed back to the mansion, gathered all of his wives and servants, then declared that today is a rest day . Even as the other party was still confused by the suddenness, he already proposed to hold a feast in the garden .
Due to the suddenness, Cornelia who usually acted as the common sense of the Schwarzer’s household couldn’t really react to it .
Ares personally saw through the preparation for the feast .
Meat, fish, vegetables…the preparation proceeded quickly by following Hadora’s instructions .
[Oi oi, I was wondering why there is a sudden call… you seem to be doing something fun here . ]
The first to appear was Darius . As expected, he simply snorted after seeing the situation . Zenobia was also there with him .
Sigurd arrived a little bit later, followed by Shu and Ares’ other trusted retainers . Shion, George, and Elan appeared as well .
[Here I thought something had gone wrong… but not that I’m against this though . ]
Shion laughed after saying so .
George brought his family along, while Elan came with his fiancee Liza and his soon-to-be sister-in-law . And even that quiet and unsociable Shion actually brought someone along . It was miss Lina Parom, who had been living together with him as his disciple .
Darius’ brothers, as well as the rest of Ares’ main retainers arrived one after another soon afterward… Once everyone had gathered, only then did the feast actually begin for real .
[Delishh! What’s with this meat!]
Darius commented as he kept devouring the meat . Next to him, Zenobia was also happily stuffing her mouth with food .
The two were gluttonously eating load after load of platinum meat . The couple really went wild here . Earlier they chugged down a bottle of distilled spirit that supposedly shouldn’t be drunk all at once .
[This couple… . Both of them are really big eaters…]
Cornelia chuckled after hearing the slightly worried Ares’ muttering .
[It is fine, is it not? We still have enough ingredients to make more, do we not?]
Behind them, Sharon and Liliana were engaging in their usual quarrel .
[Hold it right there! Wasn’t that meat supposedly mine!?]
[Is your name written on it? I was the one who grilled this meat . ]
Maria and Cynthia were watching the two apprehensively .
The usual arbitrator, Nina, finally took action .
[Just cut it out already, you two . ]
[What?!]
[What was that?!]
[Do any of you even realize what happened to the meat while you’re busy quarreling?]
[What do you mean… Ahhーーー!]
Yes, the meat had already turned into charcoal .
[Are you stupid or what…? Why don’t you two try to take Roxanne as an example?]
Roxanne, Millia, and Lilith were doing their own stuff, seemingly unconcerned about the short-lived quarrel .
However… the atmosphere wasn’t exactly good either .
[Why do big sister and Lilith insist that I eat all these meat is really beyond me . ]
[I told you… you need to gain more fat in order to make your breasts bigger . ]
[Dear Husband loves big breasts, you know?]
While saying all that, Roxanne’s and Lilith’s enormous breasts would sway and shook around titillatingly . These two were strangely close to each other . Meanwhile, this scene provided by the huge breasts combo only served to frustrate Nina .
[I don’t like this at allーーーー!!]
Ares could only sigh from seeing all that unfolded . Theta poured a drink into his now empty glass .
[They aren’t really hating each other, right?]
[Well, it should be obvious already…]
[It is the proof that they are all good friends . ]
Even Cornelia gave up on stopping them .
Suddenly, more and more people came to the mansion, each enjoying themselves while grilling their favorite food .
The children were having fun, running around while chomping on the grilled corn . They eventually came across Zetos and proceeded to use him as a climbing tree . The mothers tried to stop the kids in a hurry, but Zetos politely rejected them, saying that he didn’t mind .
Young women and girls in plain clothing engaged in a merry conversation . The topic was, of course, about love .
They would steal a glance at Sigurd and Shu, giggling excitedly as they discuss which one of the two they prefer more .
All the men also chatted with each other, a glass of ale in hand . The topic they talked about was more diverse than the women, but of course there would be married men making fun of the singles . Urging the young men to divulge on who they have feelings for and to confess their feelings soon while enjoying the ale .
Helmut was busy tidying up the site, as well as serving more food whenever ready . There was no waste in his movement at all . By the way, he had unknowingly gained a sizable amount of admirers among the servants . The stern looking man seemed to be fairly popular nowadays .
Zetos was still doing what he did earlier, letting the kids play around him . Apparently he has a soft spot for kids .
Sigurd and Shu were having a heated discussion about martial arts . The more they drank, the more heated the discussion got . It’s a bit difficult to join in by now .
George had been drinking a lot while eating sweets like a huge sweet tooth . His family apparently also shares his fondness of sweet foods . Seeing this, his subordinates had a somewhat bad premonition .
Shion seemed to be angry at Lina for some reason . At first glance, they might appear to be in a quarrel, but those in the know knew that it’s their gesture of friendship . Elan was having a sweet time with Liza . The usually quiet Elan took on an aggressive stance this time, that the lovey dovey mood between the two made it hard for others to look at them . Eckhart and Lauren were a bit jealous seeing them .
Oliver was involved in a discussion about liquor with Gale and Ramires . Natalie tried her best to attract Sigurd’s attention but to no avail…
Ares had fun watching his wives having a pleasant talk . But above all, he was happy to see all these exchanges that he’d normally be unable to see for himself .
[Oh, this meat is really delicious . ]
The most important part is still being able to see all those smiles .
So let’s hold this kind of feast regularly now .
Next time, how about holding a territory-wide big festival?
While thinking so, Ares smiled as he enjoyed the feast .
