|| Chapter 14 || A Shocking Meal

Anger sparked inside her chest as the red-headed maid glared at the young master in front of him. She could not pass the blame on him since everyone quite saw that she had stumbled on her own. Clenching her fists she could only tremble in spite "You..."

Yoongi feigned distress as he asked if she was injured or anything but the girl only lowered her head and ignored him.

Hoseok scowled at the reckless maid. How hard was it to carry a bowl of soup! The head maid should do a better job at disciplining. Now the food was wasted dripping all over her and the floor. His brother was also quite surprising, taking the initiative to care about the irresponsible maid. Yet, seeing the maid ignoring his brother's concern, his eyes darken.

"Is she mute?" Hoseok rasped at the head butler, Fabian.

"She isn't, Young master." The butler lowered his head and replied, glancing at the servant on the floor refusing to stand up.

"If she isn't then won't she listen if you tell her to get off the floor?" Jaebum's deep voice reminded Fabian as he beckoned Yoongi to sit beside him.

The Lady and the Lord gave a doting smile at Yoongi once the youth turned back to face them. The third young master glanced at Fabian, taking a seat beside Jaebum and greeting the rest of his family. Yoongi placed Mochi on the chair by his right, mentally giving Viana a warning.

The family butler bowed slightly and straightened his posture as he proceeded towards the maid. Any reckless servant wasn't allowed to serve the food of a noble family and this one even dared to not apologize to the third young master. A prideful servant like her was lucky she wasn't working in the stables instead!

The servants took her away and cleaned the mess she made.

A few moments after, the uncomfortable atmosphere recovered as the family of five enjoyed their meal. The dinner was harmonious and the food was incredibly delicious. Yoongi chuckled at the bratty fox, eating beside him. His beady silver eyes shined as he gobbled up the food served especially for him. Yoongi had to wipe his snout clean only to be messy again after a few mouthfuls.

"Yoongi, what have you been doing today?" His mother asked him with bright smiling eyes. Her slender fingers wrapped around the platinum knife and fork as she sliced a piece of meat with grace.

Swallowing down the food in his mouth, Yoongi's lips parted to reply "I was--".

"He was reading. Like how he frequently spends his time these days" Hoseok interrupted glancing at Yoongi with a teasing look. His grey eyes darted towards his mother. "I caught him reading a whole bookshelf in the gardens. Two, in particular, was the Corahn History of Gods and the fourth book of the Hundred Thousand Art of Internal Cultivation. Little brother is pretty interesting nowadays".

The Lord of the House paused momentarily. With a hint of confusion in his deep grey eyes, he took a glimpse at his youngest son. He wondered why Yoongi would be so eager to read those kinds of books. Obviously, it wasn't something that could help his son, perhaps, Yoongi was possibly curious about the knowledge relating to mana wielding.

The eldest brother lightly raised his eyebrows in surprise as he placed down his glass after taking a little sip. "Are you, perhaps, interested in ability wielding cultivation?". Hearing his elder brother's words, Hoseok shifted his curious eyes back on Yoongi.

"It 𝑖𝑠 quite fascinating" Yoongi gave out an intriguing smile at Jaebum.

"But I was merely reading it out of curiosity and I don't believe I can ever perform it with this body of mine. And I also lack the very thing every maeruthan wielder would have...".
