60. Dinner
Merlin sat down at the dining table, he was a little worried about whether he could withstand this tonnage chair after his transformation, but he didn't expect that the chair turned into a manservant named Lu was unexpectedly magical, although those servants were cursed by the witch to become furniture, but also because of the magic of the demon king day and night, they have long been alienated into furniture demons, with all kinds of extraordinary abilities.
As mentioned before, his castle is full of seals, up to the castle itself, to the furniture in the castle, down to the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the castle, all of which are like this, and the things that can still exist well in this abyss environment are already considered extraordinary to a certain extent.
Although most of the abilities obtained by these furniture demons are weak chickens and cannot be used in battle, such as this chair named Lu, his ability is to change the size freely, and it is precisely because of this ability that he is regarded as Merlin's exclusive chair.
The chair that was originally suitable for human size suddenly expanded, perfectly matching the body of the transformed demon king, and there was no such situation as Merlin imagined that the chair fell apart when he sat down, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Lou."
Habitually thanking the valet in the chair, Merlin glanced at the plate on the table, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"And you, Miss Kaisha."
From the familiar pattern on the plate, Merlin recognized the plate in front of him as the somewhat lively lady maid he had used for breakfast.
"It is an honor to serve His Highness again."
The pattern on the dinner plate forms a cute little girl's smiling face.
She won't say how she fought other plates in the kitchen in order to grab the opportunity to serve His Highness, and finally won.
Hmph, she's the cook's daughter, and those weak chicken plates still want to do things in her territory, it's so young.
After casually chatting with the talkative Plate Lady, Merlin finally waited for the time to be served, which made him a little excited.
To be honest, today's lunch was solved in a good-looking high-end restaurant in Cornwallis City, although the other guests seemed to be eating with relish, but Merlin didn't think the dishes were very good, in his opinion, the chef's skills were still some distance from the chef in his own castle, so he was quite looking forward to dinner.
The unmanned food delivery cart carried the delicious food slowly, and the bouncing plates loaded the food slid to the center of the table, and today's dinner was quite rich.
There were all kinds of meat such as lamb chops and tender steaks, and even Merlin saw a whole roast suckling pig, and the roasted red exterior had a fragrant fat flowing down, and the fragrance teased Merlin's nostrils and made him appetite.
In addition to meat as the staple food, all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits are also readily available, obviously it is winter, but there are still fruits such as watermelon grapes, red, green and green melons and fruits are dotted in the pile of meat, eliminating the greasy time and stimulating people's appetite more.
"I don't know how this is done, there should be no greenhouse technology in this world."
Merlin thought wildly.
When the dishes were ready, Merlin picked up his knife and fork and prepared to start, but before eating, he tilted his head, and the snake on his shoulder that was about to drool was speechless.
Can this thing still eat?
He thought a little uncertainly, but he was even more helpless when he saw the look of "I really want to eat it, but I will definitely not give in like you, so I won't say it".
He raised his hand, and the head maid, Vioris, who had been serving behind him, immediately bent down, ready to listen to him.
"Vile, bring me another plate."
The maid nodded, and quickly fetched a new plate.
Merlin placed the plate next to his plate, which made Miss Kai's delicate pattern droop when she felt that her position was threatened, but the newcomer was just an inanimate ordinary plate, which made Miss Plate Maid angry but helpless.
"Hiss...."
Looking at the newly brought dinner plate, the snake turned his head to look at Merlin suspiciously, this dinner plate was just in front of her, could it be prepared for her?
But it's impossible to think about it, who would feed a tool to eat, at least her previous owner had never done such a stupid thing.
Hmph, don't think that you can please me like this, the old lady would rather starve to death than accept the charity of your bastard, besides, this kind of food that has been handled by people has no soul at all, and she only loves live prey.
Thinking so, she turned her head proudly and stopped looking in the direction of the table.
"Don't look at me, this is not for you, you must not eat it."
Regarding the secret observation of the leather snake, Merlin said righteously,
Then he cut up a large piece of meat and threw it on that plate.
"You can't eat it."
Again, he emphasized.
So, the snake was furious......
You don't let me eat, the old lady wants to eat today, and then it was a skilled snake hunting posture, and quickly bounced out of the body, and in the blink of an eye, the large piece of meat on the dinner plate had disappeared.
Merlin: "......"
He turned his head amusedly, looking at the greedy snake on his shoulder, this thing still maintained the posture of not looking at the table before, with a posture of "the old lady is not interested in these soulless cooked food", and her body did not rise and fall at all, not at all like ordinary snakes have a swollen stomach after eating, if it weren't for the oil on her mouth that was not wiped, Merlin would have believed it.
"Hey, what about my meat, where is the big piece of meat that was just placed here?"
He said this as he feigned surprise, and then cut another piece of meat and threw it on the plate.
"I'll be sure to keep an eye on it this time."
He said so, then turned around and ate his own food.
The perspective skimmed over the plate slightly, and the powerful dynamic vision of the demon king only vaguely captured the afterimage that flickered away, and then the meat disappeared again.
To this, he shook his head, a little amused.
A snake that is hundreds of years old, her voice is still a royal sister, but her personality still seems to be a child, Alice is more mature than this.
He thought as he cut a fine roast pork leg for little Alice, who was sitting next to him.
"Children grow their bodies, eat more meat."
He touched little Alice's head and said so.
He just looked at the little food in the bowl that was enough for her to stuff her teeth, and felt that this child was really a little afraid of life, too, after all, this was the second day she came to the castle, and she was not fully familiar with the environment, so it was normal to be embarrassed to eat more, but this is not good, you can't starve the child if you are hungry, since Alice is embarrassed about the dish, he will naturally do it for him.
No way, who let Merlin be an orphan in his last life, he can't eat enough every day in the orphanage, well, naturally I don't know what it means to be hungry and make your parents think you're hungry, he really thinks that little Alice will be hungry if she only eats this.
So, in fact, little Alice, who was almost full, looked at the roast pork leg that was too heavy for a child of her type, and then struggled with this pork leg with a bitter face.
After all, this is Mr. Monster's kindness, she thinks it would be too rude if she doesn't finish eating, but if she does this every day, will she quickly become a fat girl, so ugly, will she be disgusted by Mr. Monster.
The little girl was a little worried, and she secretly decided that after eating, she must go to the castle to find some work to lose weight.
And Merlin, who had no idea that he had good intentions and bad intentions, was just about to continue feeding the snake, when he saw a dinner plate automatically float in front of him, and he looked up and saw Cynthia, who was looking at him expectantly.
Merlin: "......"
"Hehe, sister, you eat more fruits."
Too lazy to bother with this ghost woman who was still grabbing food with children, he casually picked up a bunch of bananas beside him and threw them on the plate.
"Hee-hee, thank you, brother."
Cynthia didn't mind, she happily took back the plate, and then threw all the original food in front of her, as if tonight's dinner was a banana from her brother.
For this kind of faceless ghost woman, Merlin is completely out of line, did he owe this money in his previous life? Why did you get such a sister?
Too lazy to look at the witch who was about to eat a banana on the other side, Merlin continued to bow his head to eat and feed the snake, but when he glanced at the head maid who was serving him behind him, the knife and fork in his hand froze.
The silver-haired maid is still so heroic, she just stands there quietly like a statue, her delicate face is as expressionless as ever, and her eyes are the same, even if this table can make the snake this tsundere really fragrant delicacy can not make her give birth to the slightest wave, the reflection in the eyes that are clear and white like gems is always just a figure, as if that is the whole meaning of her life.
"What's the matter, Your Highness?"
Even if Merlin only glanced at it secretly, it could not escape the keen perception of the maid chief warrior, she tilted her head, looking like she was waiting for orders.
"It's nothing, just thinking about when Vile can eat together."
Merlin waved his hand and said a little uncomfortably.
After saying that, he continued to eat with his head down, and the snake was not interested in teasing.
Behind him, a streamer finally swirled between the pupils in the pair of black and white eyes, and the corners of the mouth on the face of the beautiful puppet that should not have an expression seemed to cross the arc slightly.
"There will come a day, Your Highness, your expectation is my expectation."
The maid muttered quietly.
"Hmmm......"
The Demon King, who was also too good at hearing, nodded slightly, and he sighed in his heart.
"Alas, sure enough, it's better to absorb the memories of the original owner as soon as possible, and then continue the original owner's research on lifting the curse."
Merlin suddenly felt a little pressured.
