Chapter 120: Bully the Little Cat, and You Won’t End Well
"Akelie..."
Hearing this name from Lynn’s mouth, Helena was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to realize that it was the name of His Majesty the Saint Emperor of Light.
Since he took on the role of Saint Emperor of Light, few have mentioned his name because calling him that felt disrespectful.
But if the name comes from Lynn, there’s no problem, considering he’s even older than the Saint Emperor of Light... No, he’s more powerful and noble than the Saint Emperor of Light.
Although Akelie’s title as the Saint Emperor contains the word "Light," symbolizing Divine Protection Continent’s First Empire and strongest force, he pales in comparison to Lynn’s Miracle Saint Emperor.
It’s like comparing a City Lord to a King; the Saint Emperor of Light is just a regional ruler, while Lynn is the ruler of the world.
"Such disrespect; how can you casually call your uncle’s name?"
Catherine was having fun playing with the cat and the kids, but hearing that familiar name from Lynn made her frown.
"That’s your uncle, not Lynn’s uncle!"
Natasha jumped in to rebut before Lynn could speak. What a joke, while the Saint Emperor of Light is extremely noble, it depends on who he’s compared to. He stands above everyone but Lynn; compared to Lynn, the Saint Emperor of Light is just a younger sibling.
"Natasha, don’t talk nonsense, Catherine’s uncle is certainly my uncle; after all, she’s my wife."
Hearing Natasha’s support, Lynn quickly waved to deny it. He’s not some old monster who turns young again. Despite being more powerful than the Saint Emperor of Light, by age and generational status through Catherine, calling Akelie uncle is fine. If he could win a beautiful wife, it’s totally worth it!
"You... you shouldn’t talk nonsense; who’s your wife? I’m just the godmother of the child..."
For a long time, Catherine wanted to correct Lynn’s way of addressing her, but the opportunity before hadn’t suited. Now, with nothing much going on, she took the chance to oppose it again, keeping Lynn from settling on that address.
"For now, you’re the god-wife; later, I’ll find a way to make you my official wife."
Lynn insisted without any backing, determined that Catherine is one of his wives, with no chance of letting her go.
"Suit... suit yourself, call me whatever you want; I won’t agree anyway."
Catherine rubbed the cat, muttering under her breath; she genuinely felt awkward confronting Lynn firmly but refused to completely cave in, thus she remained in a sort of compromise state, soft in the middle, but firm at both ends.
Fortunately, at this time, the palace maid began serving dishes, interrupting the group’s chatting and relieving Catherine from part of her awkwardness.
During the meal, no one spoke, except Natasha, who had a cat on her lap, focused more on feeding Lynn rather than the cat. Lynn didn’t want to reject her goodwill and reluctantly took the steak she handed over.
"Meow~"
Observing its owner, who should first feed it, serving the man with hands and feet instead, Gugi showed a little discontent.
Though you’re a dragon and my boss in the animal world, at home, the cat is supreme; the owner is just the caretaker. How lackluster to forget its master!
"Don’t fuss! I’ll give you fish later."
When she heard the cat noise from her lap, Natasha angrily hushed it, but continued trying to bring food to Lynn’s mouth.
However, Lynn couldn’t continue eating because not only Catherine was looking at him with strange eyes, but also Helena and the two kids had peculiar changes in their gaze.
"I can do it too."
This was roughly the information conveyed in Helena’s glance.
"Daddy being fed is even worse than Little Yuri/Little Yuna~"
This was the approximate thought hidden in the pure, innocent eyes of the two kids.
Even Gugi’s gaze towards him altered, its cat eyes fixed intensely on him, as if saying: Are you really competing for food with a cat?
"You feed Gugi first, I’m not hungry..."
Lynn dodged Natasha’s fork, and gently nudged the fat orange cat on her lap, assigning Natasha a task.
"Huh? Oh, alright then."
Natasha replied blankly, then looked around, saw the little dried fish aside, and without a second thought, grabbed a bunch and crammed them into Gugi’s mouth.
Gugi: ?
This is murder by fish! This is without a doubt fish murder!
You meant to suffocate me with a handful of dozens of fish? Exploiting this little cat won’t end well for you!
Normally indulgent, Gugi immediately stood up from Natasha’s lap, agilely dodging the small fish assassination, took advantage when Natasha hadn’t reacted, skillfully climbed onto Lynn’s shoulder.
"Meow! Meow meow~"
Sitting by Lynn’s ear, Gugi complained about Natasha’s murder attempt. Though Lynn couldn’t understand cat language, he roughly got its meaning.
"Leave it to me; you eat, don’t worry about me and Gugi."
Lynn said and snatched the dried fish weapon from Natasha’s hand, picked one out and fed it to the fat orange cat on his shoulder.
The Palace’s dried fish was made from Eagle Empire’s special silver fish—something typical noble households can’t eat, much less use to feed cats. Thanks to Helena being Emperor, otherwise, Gugi and Little Flower wouldn’t enjoy such fortunes.
"Meow~"
Seeing the man being considerate, Gugi finally held on to the dried fish and began eating.
The old buddy’s help wasn’t wasted; having the man along with the woman owner act as caretakers promised Gugi a nice life.
Even if the man’s other wife’s house also had a small female cat, vying for attention would be inevitable but no big deal; that skinny thing can’t compare to its fat and fleshy self in competing for favor!
While Gugi was eating happily, over there, Little Flower was also enjoying being the favorite. Though Catherine usually let it roam free, Little Flower was still her pet, and she liked to feed it with good food, needing not to spend her wages.
Little Yuri and Little Yuna were also eating the food meticulously prepared by Imperial Chef, occasionally giving a small dried fish to Little Flower. In Lynn’s house, the younger generation was apparently two daughters, but in reality, there were four little cuties.
When there was something good, the two kids still remembered the other two little darlings.
The lunch banquet saw adults, kids, and even cats incredibly satisfied, while at the Imperial Palace filled with warmth and harmony, lines of Light Judges were being dispatched via the teleportation array to various cities of Celestial Destiny Empire.
Their efficiency was incredibly high, yet due to the locations being too widely spread, they could not speed up.
Just as the palace banquet ended, the group of Light Judges finally settled into their respective positions.
