Chapter 380: May I Have a Drop of Your Blood?

After eating another insanely spicy grilled fish, Schonard emerged from the restaurant pressing his hands against the wall to support himself. He was far too busy gasping for air to notice the city lord’s daughter or anything like that, and as he panted, he wondered what he was doing with his life. At the same time, he was quite concerned whether he would be able to walk the following day.

“The super spicy grilled fish was so good!” Vivian also emerged from the restaurant at the same time, and she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. She was feeling extremely satisfied after her meal of grilled fish, and her eyes were sparkling with excitement.

I have to take Luna here on her day off. She’s been really busy recently, so she definitely wouldn’t have had time to come and dine here. Even if she did come, she wouldn’t pick such an expensive grilled fish dish. Vivian looked back at the restaurant before departing in high spirits.

I don’t know what the owner put into that fish, and with so many customers there, he would definitely deny any wrongdoing anyway, but that grilled fish really was delicious. To think that human food could be so tasty; looks like Father wasn’t lying to me, after all. Elizabeth also walked out of the restaurant soon after with mixed emotions. Her complexion was tinged with a hint of redness; before she knew it, she had also eaten an entire grilled fish.

Even though her bodily reactions were still a little violent during the dining process, she was mentally prepared, so no other awkward situations arose.

The fish was imbued with extremely powerful and invasive fire-type energy, but it hasn’t impacted my body negatively in any way. Instead, it seems to have dilated my meridians, and… Am I sweating? Elizabeth ran a finger across her forehead, and was surprised to see the beads of sweat that were collected on it.

As a Frost Dragon, she had almost never shed a drop of sweat in her life. Even in a battle, it would have to be an extremely fierce one for her to sweat at all.

However, she was sweating after eating that grilled fish. It was truly a special experience.

She looks really busy. Looks like I’ll have to wait for her outside. Elizabeth glanced at Yabemiya, who was busy attending to customers. She had observed Yabemiya while she was eating, but was still unable to determine what bloodlines ran in Yabemiya’s veins. The easiest way to get an answer would be to ask her directly; she wasn’t used to wasting too much time on someone who’s not important to her anyway.

As the restaurant closed down for the night, a customer got up, and asked forlornly, “Mag, the final Aden Square food competition rankings are going to be released tomorrow; are you sure you can’t get your Mamy Restaurant reinstated?”

“That’s outside of my control. Perhaps a miracle will happen.” Mag shook his head with a smile. He actually wasn’t hoping for anything anymore. No matter how much of a revolution would take place in the Catering Association, no one would pay special attention to a restaurant that had been operating for only a month.

“See you tomorrow, Boss, Little Amy.” Yabemiya and Sally bade farewell to Mag and Amy before departing.

“Hmm, isn’t that…?” After the two of them emerged from the restaurant, they soon noticed Elizabeth, who was standing not far away from the restaurant’s entrance. She wore a long ice crystal dress, and had her back to the restaurant as she looked up into the sky. She seemed to be contemplating something, and her profile was so beautiful under the moonlight that an onlooker could easily be entranced.

“I have a few questions for you.” Elizabeth turned to Yabemiya; her voice was non-negotiable.

“She has the right to choose whether she wants to answer or not.” Sally stepped forward, and looked at Elizabeth with a calm expression.

Elizabeth looked back at Sally with a slightly grave expression. Even though Sally was only a waitress at the restaurant, it was undeniable that she seemed to pose a threat to her. “I don’t think she’ll refuse.”

“You can ask me anything you want, and I’ll answer your questions to the best of my abilities.” Yabemiya also stepped forward, and she looked at Elizabeth with a hint of panic and anticipation in her eyes.

She had envisioned coming into contact with a dragon countless times in the past. She’d always imagined that her father would appear before her, or send someone to find her.

Even though Elizabeth was a Frost Dragon, so there was almost no chance that they were related, even just talking to Elizabeth evoked within her a sense of belonging to the dragon race.

Sally glanced at Yabemiya, and didn’t say anything, but she still stood firmly by her side.

“I want to know what kind of dragon your father is.” Elizabeth cut straight to the chase. She wore her usual cold expression, but there was a hint of anticipation and anxiety in her eyes.

“I…” Yabemiya opened her mouth to reply, but her voice suddenly cut off. After a long while, she cast her eyes downward, and shook her head as she said dejectedly, “I don’t know the answer to that. I’ve never seen my father, not even once.”

“You’ve never seen him?” Elizabeth’s eyes lit up, and she took an involuntary step forward as she asked, “That what about your mother? Does she know what kind of dragon he is? Or does she know any special traits of his?”

“My mother passed away five years ago. She didn’t know what kind of dragon my father is, either. She only learned of the fact that he was a dragon when he left her.” Yabemiya’s expression became even more sullen as she shook her head.

Sally looked at Yabemiya with a hint of sympathy in her eyes. She then glanced at Elizabeth with a confused expression. What was this woman trying to do? Could it be that her agenda had something to do with Miya’s identity?

Yabemiya’s thin and frail body seemed to have endured countless hardships, and Elizabeth’s heart tightened at the sight of her dejected expression. Looking at Yabemiya made her feel as if she was seeing a mirror image of herself. When the entire world had fallen, she could only carry it on her shoulders alone. She was silent for a short while before saying, “My apologies.”

“It’s alright. All of those things are in the past. I’m very happy now, and I don’t think life has been unfair to me. At the very least, I was able to meet Mag, Amy, Sally, and so many lovely customers.” Yabemiya raised her head, and a bubbly energetic smile appeared on her face, wiping away all of her sorrow.

Elizabeth’s expression faltered upon seeing Yabemiya’s smile. The smile wasn’t forced in any way, nor was it a tool used to mask her depression. Instead, it was filled with a yearning and anticipation toward life, just as if there was nothing worth feeling sad about.

What kind of person was she? How could she endure so much adversity, yet completely leave all of those negative experiences behind? How could she remain optimistic despite her difficult past? She was a someone that was worthy of admiration, yet also evoked a sense of sympathy.

Elizabeth fell silent for a moment before asking, “May I have a drop of your blood?”
