The moment tears appeared in Melody's eyes, Leilani's and Iris's feminine instincts flared up. The fairy was cute and tiny, and with her puffy cheeks, she looked extremely adorable. So, how could they afford to let tears flow out of her eyes? There was no way for them to do that!

"Come on, forgive her already," Leilani said to Varth, speaking up in favor of Melody.

"She is already on the verge of tears, so don't tease her anymore," Iris added.

"You shouldn't break a girl's heart," John said.

Since you've many wives, I assume you know how vengeful they can get if you do so." Nevis added.

King Wrath rolled his eyes!

No, he didn't know!

He was King Wrath, a person whose reputation as a butcher and the most murderous man precedes him.

Many people feared him, for he was someone backed by one of the pillars of the federation and also someone with a lot of blood on his hands.

The rumors of his terror were widespread, reaching the soldiers on the deserted planets near the borders of the humanoid races, which lie behind the dark sea, an area in space that overlaps with the dimension of hell.

Some say that he is a demon in human flesh; Some tell their crying children to stop crying or else he would come and eat them; Some say that he indulges in the blood of virgin blood; Some that he kills at a single disagreement.

With so many rumors to his name, his wives from arranged marriages treated him with the same amount of respect that a filial descendant would show his ancestors. They treated him like that, not because they loved him. Not at all. It was because they feared that he would kill them if they do something to displease him.

He had also seen some of his wives trying to earn his sympathy by using crocodile tears.

He saw those very tears in her eyes and believed that she was faking it.

"Let bygones be bygones," Vincent said while looking at Varth with eyes that were giving him a warning.

As knowledgeable as he was, he knew that messing with a fairy who he can't beat in his current conditions won't do him any good.

Varth immediately became a good boy, and because he didn't want to make the silly fairy cry and go on a rampage, he decided to let it go, and hence, he said, "Apology accepted."

The tears that were threatening to drop out of the fairy's eyes immediately vanished, but at the same time, her complexion brightened up in happiness.

"Growl!" Her tummy grumbled.

"What's for dinner today?!" She asked.

"You little glutton!" Varth said while pinching the chubby cheeks of the fairy.

"I'm hungry!" Melody said out loud, trying to say that he can't play with her unless he feeds her with her eyes.

A thousand years old fairy? More like a baby that hasn't grown up, he thought.

"Here you go." Varth served her the wizard's meal he prepared a while ago.

She smelled it, taking in the heavenly scent wafting out of it. Although it's been a while since he grilled it, the meat was still hot. It's because the meat and the heat he used to cook it were now not two but one.

As the aroma of the wizard's meal entered her nostril and reached her stomach, bursting into fireworks that spread inside her body, she felt electric currents of joy caressing her inside out.

Her eyes widened like saucers! The meal smelled far better than the ones she had before. Thus, she felt happy by this pleasant surprise.

She immediately turned to Varth and asked, "What is it? Why does it smell so good?"

Like many others, Melody was the type of person who only eats and doesn't know anything about making meals. She was clueless about what type of dish was before her.

"This one is the most flavorful national dish of the holy kingdom that rules planet Auria, a planet where most of the religious people live," Varth answered.

If the others didn't know better, then they would have believed that he was a chef working in a high-class restaurant that hovers outside planets and can only be attended by the filthy rich.

"Oh, oh, I know about that planet! It's near Lorena. I once visited it with my master. The people there are extremely hospitable, and the land is also very pretty, unlike most of the human land. There are no giant constructs on that planet, nor does toxicity fills its skies. There were a thousand temples but tens of thousands of spas in the Holy Kingdom the last time I visited it. I remember spending time in one of the giant ones with my master. Ah, it was too peaceful. Even remembering about it is giving me the desire to revisit it." Melody said in a voice filled with reminisces.

She was about to continue but Varth interrupted her.

"The Aurelian has a tradition of not talking with their meals in front of them. That's how they show respect to the life they have taken to fulfill their belly. Since you're eating something that belongs to their homeland, you should follow their tradition and start eating it."

The others weren't surprised as they already knew that Varth was a tourist who roamed many planets at a young age. At least, that's what he makes himself out to be to cover his origins.

"Okay," the fairy nodded her head.

Then, she started eating.

The plate hovered up to her mouth, then the grilled steak separated into multiple pieces, and she started digging in, stuffing one piece after another into her tiny mouth, shoving them down her throat and into her stomach at an inconvenience rate.

'Is she even chewing it?

'How can she fit such a big thing in her tiny mouth?

'Fairies sure are mystical beings!'

Vincent thought, wordlessly feeling amazed by the fairy's way of eating.
