Chapter 1297: Everything Ended Nicely?
-----
"I am not cowering in fear, and I am not going to hate him... anymore. He has saved our forest, and I saw it with my very eyes. I don’t trust him, but I will trust Lady Planta’s faith on him."
Queen Titania ended helping me convince the fairies, and the rest of the inhabitants of the forest to accept Erebus, or at least not hate us because we brought him here.
"Lady Titania..."
"If she says so..."
"Uh, well..."
"This is awkward, but he... maybe if he’s Lady Planta’s Familiar, I guess it’s fine, right?"
"Familiars must always obey their masters after all..."
"Hmm, yeah!"
The fairies instantly changed their faces after hearing their Queen. Wow, they really love her. It was a bit surprising how they just completely accepted it so quickly once she said something about it.
"I know it’ll be hard, and I am not asking you to love him or anything of the sort," she said. "He’ll simply live within the forest. And will try to amend for his many sins... Even if it might seem ridiculous, his power is needed for the powerful threats that desire our forest’s destruction."
"I... I will do everything I can to protect the forest," Erebus didn’t know what else to say, so he decided to be a bit direct. "Don’t worry, you’re in good hands now."
He tried to force a smile with his two little hands, although it ended looking creepier than I imagined, but not too much. It helped he was so cute and small, and honestly looked more like a girl than a boy.
The people of the forest looked at one another and didn’t really say anything. Maybe his cuteness will win them over eventually, through time and effort. I might have to ask for Florie’s help so he can become cuter and use his cuteness and charm to win everyone’s hearts.
"Lady Planta, thank you!"
"I can’t believe it; she did such a god-like thing!"
"She has been doing god-like things since she appeared, honestly!"
"I still remember the first time she appeared in our little village and healed us with the help of Acorn!"
"She’s our guardian!"
As they celebrated this news, the food I left my Food Spirits preparing was already getting done. With Gordon’s magistral assistance, hundreds of plates of delicious meals were produced constantly.
Fried rice, roasted wild boar, smoked fish, cheese-filled baked potatoes, and many other dishes were being made constantly, helping me gain more and more Divine Gourmet Essence as well as accumulating some EXP.
Gordon was also rapidly leveling up. We started the feast right away, as with a mere thought, I easily created hundreds of wooden tables and seats across the entire Fairy Queendom and also the interior of the castle.
With the help of many Spirits and Dragon Spirits that wanted to assist us, and even divine spirits of many new races, including the elusive and mysterious Higgledies, the feast began with a boom, as everyone was being served bountiful amounts of delicious, cooked meals.
"Oohooo! What a feast!" said Ambil, eating fried rice, drinking soup, eating roasted wild boar, and more. "I haven’t had such a massive feast in months!"
"After fighting so much I’m already starving, this is too good! I’m so happy," said Johanna, eating all the meat she could.
"It seems everything ended nicely," smiled Mark, patting my shoulders. "Well done."
"Ah, yeah, though I feel like I’m forgetting something..." I muttered. "Hmm... Ah!"
I forgot to go met the King and the Queen!
