And it was like that, princess Kalina started following Alex round. She even moved into his new home.

Among the many homes within the village, it was the one one with the trendy services the princess wanted.

The newly constructed home was designed by Alex to cater to all his wants. And his wants had been larger than that of royalty. In spite of everything, as an individual from the trendy period, it was laborious to dwell in a crude four-walled assemble and name it house.

So, he constructed a giant lavatory, bathe, bathtub and even a heater to get working water within the excessive chilly.

And among the many fashionable applied sciences, the in-floor heating stood out probably the most. Alex constructed it by utilizing bricks he introduced from the town. It was magical to see a heat home within the winter. The tribesmen had been excited to construct one of their home.

Fastidiously, chosen supplies had been used to make furnishings and bedding. And he even purchased expensive silk and satin garments to make a pillow.

By the present requirements of the stone head tribe, Alex’s home may very well be known as a palace. However by fashionable requirements, it was a small villa.

In spite of everything this difficult work, Alex was not thrilled to share his dwelling house with another person. However he gave up making an attempt to kick her out as soon as he noticed Mupan obvious at him threateningly.

‘Effectively, she is a sight for sore eyes, a gorgeous woman, a watch sweet. I’ve nothing to lose by letting her stick with me.’

“Meru, are you able to assist me carry water into the toilet?” All of a sudden, a voice captured Alex’s consideration.

Sporting unbuttoned garments, Kalina was standing close to him, asking for assist. Her skinny but lovely determine precipitated his eyes to wander alongside her physique. Alex was dazed for a second encountering the sudden change in environment.

‘You can’t let your thoughts wander, Alex. You cannot belief her. That is trickery, a seduction tactic to seize your consideration. She is making an attempt to make use of you.’ Alex stated rigorously in his thoughts.

Lastly, he battled together with his teenage physique and received. His thoughts surpassed its limits and appeared away. With pure willpower, he pressured out some phrases.

“Include me.” He stated whereas rapidly scurrying away to the toilet whereas blushing barely.

‘This girl is harmful.’ He stated in his thoughts.

Kalina was making ready to take a shower. Nevertheless, the contraptions within the lavatory had been fully international to her. She did not know the way they labored.

Within the palace, there was once servants that helped her. However now, she does not know what to do. Pissed off, she lastly requested Alex’s assist. She was careless and did not take into consideration how she dressed. She was oblivious to the impact it had on Alex.

“You twist this barely and heat water will stream into the tub. And the opposite knob will launch chilly water. Keep in mind to combine it within the acceptable proportion so that you just will not prepare dinner your self alive whereas taking a shower.” Alex warned sincerely.

“Somethings you would possibly want could be discovered within the cabinet close to there. Take the towels in there if you happen to want them. Did you carry garments whenever you escaped?” Alex requested.

“No.” She stated whereas Alex, startled by the revelation.

How may she neglect that!

She was appalled by her personal foolishness.

“Huh! I’ll carry you one thing that I purchased from the town. It will not be as luxurious and fancy as your garments. However it will be comfy.” Alex appeared on the pitiful Kalina and stated.

Is that this the mature woman he knew? He thought whereas going to carry some garments to the dunce.

It was fairly apparent from her behaviour to this point that she has no real-life expertise. She could be sturdy, however she was not as good as Laya.

“Sigh!” With a protracted sigh, Alex walked out of the toilet.

______

After some time,

“Is it comfy?”

“No. These are clearly males’s clothes. Are they yours?” Sporting a thick woollen shirt and trousers, Kalina inquired.

“I by no means stated it is not. You look good in it. A lot better than the gaudy outfit you used to put on. Good to fulfill you brother Kalina.” Alex smiled after saying that.

“You… What do you need to discuss.” Kalina frowned. The garments had been heat and cozy, however she did not need to present it on her face.

After that, she took a seat throughout from Alex whereas drying her hair with a towel.

“Enterprise. Nothing is free on this world. The identical applies to something that you just obtain from me. So, I suggest a system of equal alternate.”

“What do you imply?”

“Ha ha… Don’t fret. I’m not ruthless sufficient to ask for the garments again. However you must pay for meals and lodging.”

“Affordable. How a lot do you want? A thousand gold cash could be sufficient, proper?”

Kalina was a tier 4 warrior of the ice phoenix tribe. Cash was not an issue for her. If one thing may very well be acquired with cash, she does not have to assume twice earlier than getting it.

Listening to her phrases, Alex was thrilled. This proved that Kalina was an affordable particular person, in contrast to the primary elder. If she actually wished, she may have gotten something she wished within the stone head tribe with out spending a penny. And but, she was keen to take action. This improved his opinion of Kalina.

“I don’t need cash.”

“Then what else would you like? Valuable stones or power stones.”

“Neither, I would like you to observe me into the wilderness and assist me hunt magical beasts. Daily, we’ll hunt one magical beast under tier 4. This might be an effective way to take care of the meals reserve of the tribe. Is not it provide?” Alex stated with an evil grin.

For Kalina, it was a job as simple as transferring a finger. However in a roundabout way, she felt just like the deal was unfair. But she could not put a finger on it. It was an elusive feeling that got here and went right away.

Trusting her intuition, she rejected Alex’s provide.

“No.”

And her intuition was appropriate. Alex, like normal, had an underlying plan in his thoughts. He wished to make Kalina into his bodyguard whereas additionally reaping the good thing about looking tier 3 magical beasts. If he was profitable, he may domesticate crops that require mana to develop on his interdimensional farm. In spite of everything, the tier 3 beast was the ingredient to make fertilizer.

It was a plot that Alex fastidiously selected after some considering. Making Kalina do nothing and sit round all day was a waste of sources.

“Effectively, if that is your opinion. I would not have the ability to do something about it.” Rising from his seat, Alex went in direction of the kitchen and introduced a pot of steaming sizzling soup. After that, one after the other, he introduced scrumptious dishes. There was meat, fried and roasted. There have been sauteed greens and well-cooked rice. Each one of many greens was recent produce he introduced from the farm. It left a scrumptious aroma lingering within the air.

It was a feast able to be consumed.

“The stone head tribe hunts all 12 months spherical. Making an attempt our greatest to outlive the chilly harsh winter. More often than not, we survive by tightening our belts and saving meals.” Alex stated whereas plating the dishes.

Carrying a bowl of rice. He moved in direction of Kalina.

“The meat from the migrating prey could be preserved and saved to final till the ice thaws. And the meagre quantity of salt, grains and greens we may purchase from the town could be used scarcely.”

Alex stated whereas plating every dish in entrance of Kalina, particularly the greens.

He moved rapidly and exactly to chop the meat.

“Everybody wished to welcome the princess warmly. So, they pitched in to arrange the meal earlier than you. It’s lovely, is not it?”

“We deal with our visitors like household. So, please style the meals.”

Alex stated whereas lastly plating the sliced meat close to Kalina. With a cheery smile and nice expectation, he requested her to style the meals.

The dishes he ready alone, with considerable meat and greens he had, changed into a feast ready by the entire tribe whereas tightening their belts, simply to please the princess.

This was Alex’s trump card. He smiled sweetly as soon as once more.

However, Kalina was in no temper to eat. Her emotions had been in battle over the meals.

She may see the care and dedication of the stone head tribe whereas trying on the feast ready earlier than her. However remembering the poor situation of the village, she felt burdened by it.

Have been they utilizing up their reserved meals to deal with her? She thought with a heavy coronary heart.

If solely there was a approach to pay them again. All of a sudden she remembered. Taking a chunk of meat, she chewed it slowly. The scrumptious texture blessed her mouth with its presence. The juice inside it flowed by means of her mouth, whetting her urge for food.

It was too scrumptious. The mixture of spices was one thing indescribable and the tender and well-cooked meat made her fall in love with the meals. Her lips curved up and a small smile fashioned on her face.

In that immediate, she appeared like a blossoming flower. The chilly persona she had was fully gone.

One after the other, she started consuming the dishes. The soup, the stir-fried greens and even the rice. Every little thing felt so scrumptious to her. This meals was higher than the one she obtained from the palace.

Lastly, she was satisfied. She lifted her eyes to have a look at the smiling Alex and stated.

“I agree that can assist you hunt. However I’ve one situation.”

“What would possibly that be?”

“I would like you to serve me scrumptious meals like this every single day.”

‘Hm… Too simple.’ Alex thought.

“Then it’s a deal.”

“Hmm.” She affirmed whereas bobbing her head up and down.

Kalina was so entranced by the meals. She could not take her eyes off it. Fascinated by consuming it every single day, she fortunately munched on the meals.

And as soon as once more, she felt as if she had forgotten one thing essential. However she ignored it and continued consuming the meals.
