Chapter 86

Volume 2 will be released on January 6th. Thank you for your support.

Then, we headed to the dining room with Roa.

When we entered the dining room, cold scrambled eggs and sausages were laid out.

It was only natural, as I had gone to my room during the meal.

"The croissants have been reheated... but please hurry with the other dishes."

"There's no need. Thank you."

"Yeah, they're still good cold. Thanks for warming the croissants, Kuro."

"You're welcome."

The maid had reheated the croissants, waiting for our return, even though she was the only one there. It was very considerate of her.

"Sorry to bother you, but... could you bring Roa's food?"

"Um, yes. Miss Luria, what does this child eat?"

"Anything, so the same as ours should be fine."

"I see. I'll prepare it right away."

As the maid was about to leave, I hurriedly called out to her.

"Ah, does Roa like eggs or something light?"

"Rya-rya."

"Understood... Miss Luria."

The maid, who had turned around, was staring intently at Roa.

"What's wrong?"

"Is this child... a dragon?"

"Eh, um..."

I was unsure if I should tell her that Roa was a dragon and looked to my mother for guidance.

"This child is a dragon named Roa."

My mother introduced Roa to the maid on my behalf.

"A dragon, is it?"

"Yes, but it's a secret."

"I understand."

The maid bowed and ran to the kitchen.

Then, I sat down in front of my mother as usual, with Sara. Corco and Caro started eating the food that had been prepared for them from the beginning.

"Wafu?"

Daru looked up at me with sad eyes, wondering why there was no food for him.

However, just a moment ago, Daru had finished all his breakfast in a hurry.

"Daru, didn't you just eat everything?"

"Pii~ pii... au."

Daru started to act as if he hadn't eaten and was starving.

"Really... you'll get fat."

"Wafu?"

"There's nothing I can do."

I gave Daru my share of the sausages.

"Wafu wafu."

Daru ate them with relish, and I felt happy too.

I ate my croissant.

"Still delicious, right?"

"Delicious!"

"Roa should try it too."

"Rya~"

I shared my croissant with Roa.

Roa ate it with gusto, and I felt happy, so I let her have some sausages too.

Sara was feeding a wooden doll on the table as she ate.

"Roa is a baby, so it's good for her to eat a lot."

Even though she had just eaten, Roa still seemed to have room.

The maid brought Roa's food.

"Roa's food is here. Eat up."

"Rya~"

As I fed Roa, the maid watched her intently.

"Hm? Do you want to pet her?"

"Is it okay?"

"Sure, go ahead, Roa."

"Rya~~"

"Thank you!"

The maid petted Roa during the meal and whispered, "So cute," with a smile.

I fed Roa while occasionally letting Daru have some, and I ate my own share too.

It took some time, but I was able to eat until I was full.

After clearing the table, we headed to the study and parlor as we did yesterday.

"We need to write a letter to Father about Roa."

"Will he accept her?"

"That's where Luria's skills come into play."

I was confident. I was sure Father would accept Roa.
