I Just want a Peaceful life

"Anna will ask the other to burn it." commented Anna while pouting.

"Anna!!" called Angus solemnly.

"Emm?" asked Anna confusedly.

"What did I tell you about the consequences?" asked Angus seriously.

"Emm… Ahh… Anna knows. Did the long ears of grass thank Anna later? That's certainly trouble. Should Anna hire the others for Anna's schedule? Or should Anna hire a chef in case Anna forgets to eat." blabbering Anna.

"Hmm… Being famous is really hard. Anna wondered how Mira did it?" added Anna.

'*Sigh* This girl really thinks the elf will thank her for destroying their home.' thought Angus inwardly.

"That's not what I mean, Anna. They will get angry and may think you like grass if you destroy their home. You don't want that, right?" said Angus patiently.

While Angus lectures the naughty troublemaker, many nearby elves hear the little loudmouth. Some pay attention to them, while others shrug it off as childish remarks. Unbeknownst to everyone, an old elf deep inside Roundel City having a sudden cold sweat.

Even the nearby mighty-scaled creatures also opened their eyes. Deep silence permeated between these powerful beings as if they were ready to face a world-ending attack.

"So, Anna shouldn't destroy this grass?" asked Anna.

"Yep. Just be a good girl and we will return in a few hours. You don't want to miss eating roasted pork, right?" said Angus.

"Ehh… Roasted pork? Where? Hurry! Hurry!! Anna is hungry." said Anna excitedly.

"Okay.. Okay… We will be back soon. So, just calm down now." said Angus.

"Okay." said Anna shortly. contemporary romance

Seeing Anna's sudden behavior change, Angus didn't know if it was for the better or worse. He knows that as each day passes, Anna's monster-minded side slowly shows, especially her mood change.

Her mood changes faster at this moment and Angus didn't know if she was making childish remarks or serious. He didn't expect it to occur now. Besides Anna's deep excitement and happiness, he could also feel her anger and contempt.

These four emotions are brewing together like a stirred ball pool. The strongest will stay on top but be replaced by others a moment later. It is really the embodiment of chaos. Still, this mixed emotion also perturbed his mind.

Despite Anna's randomness and being a scatterbrain, she never did something without a good reason. In fact, Anna truly adheres to the cause-and-effect rules. As long as she isn't triggered by something, she also will not react to something strongly.

"Anna, did something bother you here?" asked Angus.

"Emm.. The grass." replied Anna as a matter of fact.

"Beside the grass." retorted Angus.

"Nope." replied Anna again.

"Really?" asked Angus in disbelief.

"Yeah. Didn't Daddy get angry at the grass?" asked Anna.

"Ehh.. Me? Of course not. Don't you remember that I manage a huge farm back home?" asked Angus.

"Stupid Daddy! Not that grass!! It is this grass!!" retorted Anna.

"Huh?" asked Angus in more confusion.

"Anna already hates speaking about disgusting grass. Now, Daddy is too stupid. Phew… Anna is really too smart." replied Anna while shaking her head narcissistically.

"This girl…" said Angus.

While the two interact like father and naughty daughter, Angus still does not underestimate Anna's remark. When Anna says he is dumb or stupid, it means Anna is literally saying it or having something underlined behind her words.

This behavior has already happened many times during their lives. Only through using his [Analyze] at maximum capacity can Angus finally understand or guess Anna's real purpose.

'Wait.. Did she get angry because the elves didn't want to share their forging technique with me? Or did she get angry because I got played before? Or is it something else the elves did in the dark?' thought Angus inwardly.

'Whatever it is… It is better to leave this place as soon as possible, ' thought Angus, signaling Jade using his telepathy.

As if noticing Angus' thought, Jade urged the elf guide to prepare the teleportation faster. During this time, Anna also has a short farewell to Mira.

'It seems the Eternal Kingdom will do something big shortly.' thought Angus.

Angus has noticed Darren and Lenora's sense of urgency. Their sudden departure is also detected by other people since Mira and the others are famous after their previous deed.

Fortunately, Angus and the others didn't need to wait for a long time before being able to use the teleportation device. Stepping on top of the platform, they were ready for the uncomfortable distortion as it dimly lit. *Wung* *Wung* *BBZZZTT*

"You are a lucky, disgusting elf and big lizard."

A cold voice was heard as Angus' group disappeared from the platform. The voice is clear yet gives a sensation of having inside the coldest weather. It etched the deepest fear for anyone who heard it. Magically, only the long-lived elf and the hidden scaled beast hear these words.

At this moment, the long-lived elf realizes they just survived a big calamity. Even though some are still confused and panicked, the old one knows they could just die a moment ago.

Arriving at the Royal Palace, Angus frowned slightly while looking at silent Anna. Seeing the little girl blinking a few times before returning to her previous cheerful side, he refrained from commenting anything at her.

Angus is sure Anna is doing something just before they leave. However, he also didn't know what she did. Moreover, hardly any evidence points to them as they have already left.

As a monster-minded being, Anna somehow hated the elf race. This is a matter of fact that Anna acknowledged and Silvia told Angus.

Though Angus didn't know the real reason, he could guess it had something to do with their cultural belief or something that happened in ancient times.

Leaving the teleportation room, Angus drops the naughty troublemaker to Jayna with the aid of Draven before joining Jade and Duke Jacob inside the King's office.

As an important delegation pertaining to the World Alliance matter, they still need to report to the head of the nation as soon as possible.

After hearing the report, "So, we need a team, huh?" asked King Leon.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Did you have someone on your mind?" asked Jacob respectfully.

"It's hard to say. Jade, what did you think?" asked King Leon.

"I know this team is just a ruse and may not be doing anything. However, there is still a risk of them fighting against the monster overlord or the Dumrod who somehow manage to survive."

"If that dwarf could even survive against those overlords, I doubt even sixth grade could do much in the battle against him." added Jade.

"Basically, we are not only in need of a strong team but not included inside any official rank to not disturb the national system." summed King Leon.

"Yes, My Liege. If I may, I will gladly lead a team for their safety." said Jade.

"Hmm… Certainly, if we could send you, the team would be safer and we may get more daily provision. However, we also couldn't just send rubbish as your teammate. Whether you want it or not, you are a valuable force in this kingdom." said King Leon.

"If something happens to you, it will greatly blow the whole nation. It could cause another horrible war. All the deterrence we built before will also be gone." added King Leon.

"Then, who should we send?" asked Duke Jacob.

At this moment, King Leon and Jade look at the silent Angus, who is leisurely enjoying his tea.

Noticing their stare, "Don't look at me. I am busy preparing to forge Jayna's sword." said Angus.

"Come to think of it, how is your harvest at Roundel City? Jade mentions you decided to venture independently during the visit." King Leon asked.

"Well, I get the forging technique. Though it is hard with my current capability, it is not entirely impossible." said Angus casually.

"Angus, can you elaborate more?" asked Jacob sternly.

"I refuse." replied Angus shortly.

"Angus!!" called Jacob in anger.

"At ease, Jacob. I trust Angus as I trust my own daughter. If he wants to share anything, he will do it alone. If he didn't want to tell us anything, it means it is something significant and may implicate us just by knowing it." said King Leon.

"I agree with His Majesty. Jacob, you are too short-sighted. Besides, he has every right to do this with his strength. Even for me, it will be hard to catch him." said Jade.

"Not you too, Elder Brother. Your Majesty and you are spoiling him too much. Who knows if he will have another child by the next day with his attitude." said Jacob.

"Don't worry about it. I believe Angus still knows the boundary, right?" said King Leon while glaring at Angus.

"Urgh… Yes. Anyway, you should think of other people to fill the team. If I am not wrong, they only count at least sixth-grade people we send, but it doesn't mean we couldn't send fifth-grade as backup and reinforcement." said Angus before diverting the topic.

"I think by combining our fifth and sixth-grade combatants, we could have more choices while backup and reinforcement." said Angus before diverting the topic.

"I think by combining our fifth and sixth-grade combatants, we could have more choices while increasing team safety." suggested Angus.
