Having a powerful lord as a father figure, what's wrong with just wanting to draw cards?

Moreover, she is a princess, and her natural intelligence and emotional intelligence are both high. Befriending her and getting in touch with the royal family would be entirely beneficial to me. The only price I would have to pay is that small sum of 1.5 million gold dragons.

"I suppose Shia anticipated this situation, which is why she's so fearless. Because I have no reason to refuse, everything is in my best interest. This woman… that's certainly true of her almost demonic mind."

After thinking it over, Domi nodded in agreement:

“No problem. Since you love ancient knowledge so much, how could I take away your passion? But I need to learn it first.”

"Sure, I can wait."

"You can wait even more than a month? Are you a statue waiting for your husband to return home?"

"Haha, what is that? Don't change the subject. Although I heard your magical talent is slightly lacking, it shouldn't be that you can't learn it in a month, right?"

"You might have misunderstood. What I meant was that it would take quite a while before I could learn it and send it to the capital..."

"Hmm?" Shia revealed a mischievous expression, and said with a slight upturn of her lips, "Who said it has to be sent to the capital? I'll study it whenever you finish learning it."

"Actually, it's not a bad idea for us to learn together!"

"What's the meaning?"

"So, that means I can live in your house!"

"The castle atop the mountain is such a wonder! I'd like to stay there for a few days, and maybe even get to know Domi and the others." Uncle Carlos readily agreed.

Rewinding to the scene of the incident, the person responsible for bringing Shia out was Prince Capet, Carlos's sworn brother.

The two had a rare opportunity to get together and chatted enthusiastically for a while.

At this moment, Shia, having judged the time, approached him and asked:

"Uncle Carlos, may I stay at your house for a few days?"

Carlos paused for only half a second, then without asking why he was there, immediately agreed:

"Of course! Little Shia can stay as long as she wants! She can also teach my good-for-nothing sons a lesson while she's at it. But will your father agree?"

“I told my father in advance, and he said that if I wanted to live in the castle on the mountaintop, it was up to me.”

Domi finally gave in, "I didn't expect you to have arranged all this before you came. Impressive."

Shia pouted: "It's all because of you..."

The voice was very soft, and Domi didn't quite catch it: "What did you just say?"

"without!"

Shia's tone rose slightly, a rare occurrence; this was the first time she had shown any sign of panic.

Could it be... that she's hiding something?!

Using the excuse of coming to the castle on the mountaintop to discuss academic issues as a pretext, his real purpose was to spy on their family.

Adults will be wary of other adults, but they will never be wary of children, or at least they won't take them very seriously. That would be quite bad, especially since this 'spy' is a little devil like Shia, who is 'slippery with old shoulders'!

No… not a little devil, but a little succubus! A bewitching succubus!

Just as Domi was lost in thought, the restaurant waiters brought out the dishes that Shia had ordered in advance, one by one. They were all freshly made and served one by one, so that customers could savor the delicious food and not have to eat in a hurry.

"The food is here. Aren't you in a hurry to eat and fill your stomach? Eat it while it's hot."

"oh oh……"

The two of them picked up their spoons at the same time and quickly finished off the appetizer—cream of mushroom soup.

One spoonful and the flavor explodes in your mouth, it's incredibly fresh!

This is considered a signature dish in Bloomfield Territory. Although the capital city also has this dish, their mushrooms and milk certainly don't have the same authentic flavor and freshness as those grown here.

The best proof is Shia, whose eyes narrowed from how delicious it was.

"I've had cream of mushroom soup at the palace, but it's definitely not as good as this!"

"This dish is so delicious you'll never get tired of it; it's perfect for whetting your appetite."

"Yes! I agree!"

"Wait, Shia..."

"What's wrong? Huh... Ah... Why are you leaning in like that..."

Domi stood up, straddled the entire dining table, and reached out to wipe away a large chunk of creamy mushroom soup residue from Shia's lips.

Then, under Shia's extremely shy and shocked gaze, he directly put that finger into his mouth!

"Ugh!! Shameless! I misjudged you, Dominic! So this is the kind of person you are!"

Even though I tried to keep my voice down, some people still looked over here...

"Is she... Princess Rose?"

"It seems so. The person opposite her looks like the third son of Bloomfield."

"Did the two of them break up?"

"We're doomed! Bloomfield's going to fight the royal family! We'd better get out of here..."

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, and she immediately shut her mouth, but still stared at Domi with her teary eyes, as if she had been taken advantage of.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't misunderstand... I just wanted to help you wipe away the residue. For a princess like you, having residue on your lips is unsightly!"

Is that so...

So it turns out he didn't just want to pinch my cheeks and then shove them in his mouth and suck them like a pervert?

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, and I sincerely apologize."

"I should be the one apologizing. I was too direct. I should have told you first."

Domi didn't mind the back and forth, but when he looked at Shia again, he found that she was tilting her head slightly and looking out the window. Her pupils were not focused, so she was obviously not looking at the scenery, but thinking about something. Her fair face turned red, which was particularly noticeable.

Another novel perspective discovered!

Looking down again...

Then you can see that Shia's loose hair falls on her delicate and prominent collarbone, forming a faint 'water curtain', making her half-hidden neck even more alluring.

The interplay of red and white reveals a mature woman's heart hidden within a young girl's body, along with the most captivating contrast of cuteness.

She was the one who liked to tease people, yet she became the one who blushed and lost first.

Why is the plot developing in a direction that's suggestive and indescribable?!

After that, whether it was because Xia's mind went blank or she was too shy to speak, the two of them finished their luxurious lunch, which lasted an hour and a half, in silence.

"Does she hate me?" Domi thought to herself. "Oh well, if she hates me, so be it. I'll take her back first..."

"Let's go, Xia. Since you want to stay at my house for a while, there's no need for a carriage. It's quite close. I'll take you there directly, and we can stroll around the shopping street while we're there. It'll also be my way of showing hospitality."

"Um……"

Her voice was barely audible, barely louder than a mosquito buzzing.

However, just when Domi thought the awkwardness would continue for a few more days, Shia remained the same as before—

She jogged a few steps to his side, then skillfully took his arm, only this time closer and tighter than before.

"What are you standing there for? Come on, didn't you say you were going to take me to the shopping street?"

The first day of the daily offering is here.

Chapter 87, Section 86: A masterpiece of a hero who died before achieving his goal.

Shopping seems to be ingrained in girls' genes, and even Xia is no exception.

The commercial street located in the city center ring is incredibly bustling, with countless shops of all kinds running from one end to the other, and Shia actually plans to visit every single one of them!

Domi didn't think much of it at first. Could it be that his physical strength was inferior to that of a little girl?

But as it turns out, he was wrong, terribly wrong!

When girls go shopping, their stamina is practically unlimited. Even a special forces soldier would be exhausted, and more importantly, mentally drained...

The large and small bags of goods were carried by Shia's attendants.

Domi looked back and saw a group of guards following behind, their bodies covered in shopping bags.

"I'm sorry, brother, it's my fault. I shouldn't have brought her here..."

Domi silently apologized, her eyes full of sympathy.

"The variety of goods here is even greater than in the capital! It's so fresh!" Xia said, arm in arm with Domi as they came out of a small shop again, which meant that another guard had been caught in the crossfire.

"Sia, do you even need all this stuff?"

He asked a thought-provoking question: in his opinion, even if he were to grow up, he probably wouldn't be able to use all of these things once, so leaving them to collect dust would be a complete waste.

She had all sorts of things: cosmetics, clothes, bags, and shoes made up the majority, along with a bunch of strange little toys and glassware, but she didn't buy any dolls, which are things that little girls usually buy.

"You don't understand, do you? Buying things is about having fun, not about buying their purpose."

Domi, being in a high position means there will be fewer and fewer things that will make us happy in the future, so happiness and joy will eventually become luxuries. We should cherish what we have now.

It also increases the revenue of these shops, so why not?

Shia's answer was unexpected.

He thought Xia would say she was rich and could buy whatever she wanted, the kind of answer only a rich girl would give.

It seems quite amusing that this man is holding hands with his little princess.

Suddenly, she stopped and pointed to a building, asking:

"Hey Domi, isn't that the opera house?"

"Yes, the Venus Opera House, the best and largest opera house in the city." Domi looked in the direction Shia was pointing, and there were quite a few audience members going inside.

"Let me think... There should be an opera about to start. I heard that it has been in preparation for a long time, and the director even said that it will be his masterpiece."

"It's called 'Black Moon Werewolf Love,' it seems to be a romantic comedy."

Shea had originally wanted to join in the fun, but after Domi said that, she was even more eager to watch:

"Let's go take a look together!"
