The Demon King's Paladin

Chapter 113. After Dinner Meeting

I returned home being escorted by Ruby to my home. The guards were left at the farm after having small areas set up for breaks and magical lights so they could see around the perimeter of the farm.

" See you tomorrow, Lord Drake!"

" Tomorrow?"

I was confused by what Ruby said. She could see that and began to explain what she meant.

" Yes, I'm going hunting tomorrow! There're enough guards now. So, I can also join you in hunting!"

" Oh, I see, if that's the case, let's do our best starting tomorrow, Ruby!"

I waved goodbye to Ruby and entered my mansion where a delicious smell was filling the house.

" I'm back!"

" Welcome back!"

Sarah and Anna greeted me with smiles on their faces.

" Something smells great!"

I said happily, my stomach was empty since all I had today was breakfast. Anna spoke to me as I realized how hungry I really was.

" I'm glad you think so! Today I made a stew from one of those fish we hunted yesterday."

" Sounds great, I'd like to talk to you both about something I thought up during the farming I did. We can talk about it over dinner. It's nothing too crazy."

" Is that so?"

Sarah responded to me, and Anna simply smiled as she returned to the kitchen to work on the meal. I took that time to grab a quick bath. The bath in the mansion was something extravagant. A golden tub that was big enough to fit around 10 people. There was a shower as well. Sarah, Anna and I took to showering first and then, we relax and soak in the tub the way people in the east would do it in my old world. I find it to be the best way to relax. My body is usually all banged up from one thing or another, so to just sit and relax my entire body as the hot water soaks into me is great. It's nearly a massage for me at this point. Considering that dinner was nearly done, I grabbed a quick shower and head back out. Once I was finished, I walked to the kitchen where we usually ate our meals, as the table in the dining room is huge. Sarah saw me first and began to speak to me.

" Good! You're all finished! Come and sit, Anna said dinner will be done shortly. She's currently making sure the seasoning is correct."

Anna was humming while mixing seasonings in the stew and tasting the broth of the stew. Seems she was pleased with how the dish turned out. I sat down at the small round table that sat us 3 comfortably.

" Dinner is served!"

Anna spoke happily as she handed out 2 bowls to Sarah and me. She placed her own bowl down on the table before passing Sarah and I ours. She sat down on my right side as opposed to Sarah sitting on my left. We began to eat; the taste was perfect for the long tiring day we all had. The fish tasted fresh and bright while the vegetables were nice and soft. The broth was salty and fishy but not too overpowering on either front. And we had fresh bread straight from the oven to dip it in the broth with. I thought it was weird that there was no butter, but I was too hungry to ask if we had any. I turned to Anna who was also enjoying the fruit of her labor and spoke.

" Anna, it's great! The best fish stew I've ever had!"

" There's something about your food that just fills me with warmth, Anna!"

" You're welcome!"

Sarah and I complimented Anna's cooking, as we usually do, because Anna is just that good of a cook. Once we had finished eating, Sarah turned to me with her purple eyes looking satisfied from the depths of her heart and she began to speak to me.
