Chapter 40 (Wedding Gifts and Resentment)
"Daddy, are you awake??" The next morning, Milena, who was dressing up, saw that Deklaas was awake and immediately went to help dress him.
"Everything is good here, but the couch is too hard!!My bones are about to crack when I sleep!!" Deklaas, who had just woken up, couldn't help but complain that the wooden couch he slept on was too hard while getting dressed with the help of Milena.
"Hehe!!Who told you to sleep on that wooden couch??" said Milina with a slight smile.
"Ah~~??Who didn't let me sleep in bed yesterday!!I'm cute Mi~Li~Na!!" Deklaas looked at Milina differently, and then deliberately pretended to be very angry, and deliberately said to Milina in a long voice.
"Okay, okay!!, it's my daughter, I'm wrong, it's okay... Daddy, let go of my tail!!" Milina was just about to apologize, but was accidentally caught by Deklaas's tail, and couldn't help but say a little angrily.
"I don't want to let go!!" Deklaas said with a chuckle, increasing the strength of his hands. And, at once, he took Milina into his arms and kissed her lips instantly.
"Ahem!!!, Grandpa is okay to restrain yourself??" But before Deklaas could see the exploration, he heard his granddaughter's soft cough and some helpless words.
"Ah~ah~~!!, Shirley, it's really not the right time for you to come in, at least you should let me take off Milena's clothes, right??" In desperation, Deklaas had to let go of Milena. However, his words made Milina's face, which was already blushing because of being bumped into by Shirley, even redder.
"Forget it!!Grandpa!!You saw me come in and kissed me on purpose!!Don't think I didn't see it!!" Shirley said with a grin. No matter how you look at that smile, it's a bit like the smile when a junior asks an elder for something.
"Ah~ah~~!! I forgot I could see it. Otherwise, your mother will let me sleep on this scary sofa at night!!" Deklaas shook his head helplessly, then smiled and threw a small box wrapped in cloth to Shirley, and then hugged Milena, who was already angry and shy, and said with a wicked smile.
"Holy Relics Buga's earrings with space magic, grandfather's gift, it's really good!!Thank you!!!" Looking at the gift in her hand, Shirley immediately left with a smile.
"Shirley's eyesight is not bad!!" Deklaas said with a smile as he looked at Shirley's departing back. But he didn't notice that the face of Milina in his arms had slowly darkened.
"Dad, I don't need you and Aunt Messena to be pitiful. And isn't it too much to humiliate me in front of my daughter like this??" Milina's voice was a little cold, so cold that Deklaas couldn't react for a while.
After a moment's pause, Deklaas let go of Milina and sat back on the hard couch. At this time, the smile on his face had completely disappeared, and some were just a cold face.
"Although I don't know what's wrong with you. But, what is there about you that deserves me to pity you and humiliate you??I am the poor undead who is pitied, humiliated, right??" Deklaas's words were full of anger, unwillingness, resentment, and disappointment. Let Milina know right away, she said the wrong thing and thought the wrong thing.
What Deklaas did to Milina was his own idea. He had never spoken to Messena, discussed. And now Milena's words really hurt his heart too much.
"I'm sorry...", looking at Deklaas's cold face, Milina was scared. No!!! This feeling cannot be described as fear. Because when she heard the resentment in Deklaas's words, she suddenly remembered what Deklaas's corpse looked like that day.
Five minutes later, Shirley was in Leres's study. She gave Leres the earrings and relics that Deklaas had given him, and asked him to evaluate the value of the wedding gift. Of course, she wouldn't let Deklaas and the others know about it.
"There is no sign of cutting on this relict cloth, that is, this is a complete relict cloth, and the reason why it is so small is because it has been magically cast. If an ordinary priest is given to the Holy See of Light, then the bishop position, they may also give it!!" Leres, who is a noble royal family, can see the preciousness of the pair of earrings at a glance. But no matter how valuable the earrings are, they cannot be more valuable than the holy cloth. So he kept talking about the relics and didn't mention the earrings.
"I'm a tenth-order priest now, and if I turn in this relic cloth, will they make me a bishop?" Hearing Leres's words, Shirley looked at the relict cloth with a very strange gaze, and said half-jokingly.
"I think it's better to use this relic cloth as a family heirloom!!After all, you can't tell the origin of this relic cloth!!" Leres shook his head helplessly, and then persuaded with a smile.
"I know, I'm just kidding. But it's a pity!!" Shirley sighed and said in disappointment.
"You~~!!!" Seeing Shirley's disappointed look, Leres was very helpless.
In the afternoon, a man arrived at the palace of the prince of Griffon. This man is the son of Decraas, Sue!!
In the face of his arrival, Deklaas and the others did not fluctuate. Because he is Shirley's second uncle after all, there is nothing wrong with coming to her wedding.
But, alas, Milina is an exception. As soon as Su arrived at the manor, Milina went toe-to-toe with him. Because Lei Li was not feeling well, she didn't come, so no one pulled Sue. And Deklaas himself was in a very bad mood because of the events of the morning, so he didn't have the idea of holding Milena. So the dinner party became a confrontation between two people, sisters and brothers!!
It is worth mentioning that Leres and Shirley also did not have the idea of persuasion. The couple who proposed to each other completely combined the quarrel between Milina and Sue with the joke at the beginning, and little by little they were the elders.
To Sue's surprise, Lily and Pamia, as well as Rita, were all in the manor, and they had come with Deklaas. It means that Deklaas forgave the three of them and did not dwell on the past. Moreover, he didn't care about the daughter who knew at a glance that it was Lily and the others, which couldn't help but make Sue feel that Deklaas was a little stupid.
However, although Sue was a little angry about Lily's matter, Liz was indeed cute, and he had no idea of exposing it. But the crack that appeared between Milina and Deklaas, he also caught it, and it was also his weapon to attack Milena!!
