Blessing Of Yuri Goddess-Chapter 396 - 104 - Apologize From Madam Estelle

"Puuuhaaaa~"

"Haaaahhh!!"

In the morning that was turning into a hot afternoon, I took the time to take a second bath.

I hadn’t had breakfast yet, so I had to take a bath to prepare for the important meeting that my mother, would be do.

Officially, I was supposed to be leading the important meeting due to the personal problems I had brought up in this military expedition.

The agenda of the ongoing military expedition was immediately adjusted by the military officers, and all of Marquess Rommel’s knights were on standby, ready to go at any moment once the official order was issued.

I can guess that the contents of this important meeting will discuss the appearance of Lisa, who comes from the forest Elf race, and the presence of Madam Estelle, who was became prisoner of war after following me, go through the teleportation slash.

These two things will be the general discussion in this important meeting, as well as plan up a new agenda after the military expedition plan that had been drawn up fell apart.

I can safely say that this military expedition nearly failed after several surprises from third parties. These irresponsible third parties continually interrupted the schedule of my military expedition, by testing Marquess Rommel’s military prowess, and constantly causing trouble for my amateur self.

As a future Matriarch, I feel inexperienced when dealing troublesome situations like this.

Pyyuuurr...

Pyyuuurr...

As I splashed my face with cold water, I tried to gather the last of my energy to stay motivated. The cold, refreshing water was a wonderful blessing for a midday bath. If the cold water felt torturous in the morning, then as the heat of the day approached, it felt like a blessing from the Goddess, helping me.

By washing my face, body, and other sweaty areas, I tried not to make too many strange noises inside the female knight’s bathing tent. If any strange noises, it were coming from outside. That’s was a sign that Zoe and Mio were doing their job well, keeping the female knight’s bathing tent safe from any perverts who might try to peek from afar.

A body with light brown skin that was considered disgusting has now become the main weapon that I can be proud of as someone special in the eyes of the Goddesses.

The fact that my light brown skinned body is a vessel that has a high-quality magic flow and big magic core, has made me receive blessings from four different Goddesses.

I don’t want to underestimate my light brown skin color, and I try to fulfill the expectations of the Goddesses who have given their blessings to me and carry out my duties as a Saintess.

I finished my second bath quickly, put on my new military uniform, and hurried out of the bathing tent used by the female knights.

Sraaakkk...

The moment I stepped out of the female knight’s bathing tent, I was immediately greeted by Zoe and Mio.

"Cough! My Master, please allow me to take care of your dirty, sweaty uniform. Before washing it, it would be nice to use it as my breakfast together with my cute little sisters," said Zoe, who flew towards me quickly and took my sweat-covered military uniform.

I knew Zoe’s goal was to consume the magic catalyst formed from the sweat of a Saintess. A magic catalyst formed from my magic flow, which was released from my body through sweat. I didn’t know what it tasted like, but if it could make Zoe and her little sister happy, I would gladly give them the magic catalyst formed from my sweat.

Wait a moment...

That’s the same as my magic becoming their main food after it forms into a magic catalyst, right?

I’ve been aware of this for a long time...

"Zoe, make sure you don’t get too greedy," I said to Zoe, who was flying somewhere using her butterfly spirit form while carrying my military uniform and underwear that had become a magic catalyst.

Blush...

For some reason, I felt embarrassed seeing Zoe flying, while hold my sweaty military uniform and underwear in such... a revealing manner.

It doesn’t smell too bad, does it?

I hope it doesn’t smell too bad from the sweat coming from my body.

"Uhhh... why do I suddenly feel embarrassed about this?" I muttered in a small voice and tried not to think too much about what had happened.

"Is something wrong, Lily-sama?" asked Mio, who seemed confused by my sudden silence for quite a while and looked at Zoe, who was flying somewhere with her little sisters.

Blush...

My cheeks felt warm after seeing my underwear being played with by Zoe, and I lowered my head after feeling embarrassed.

"It’s okay, Mio. I just felt embarrassed after seeing Zoe playing with my underwear like that," I replied while lowering my head and starting to walk away towards the central command tent.

Tap...

Tap...

"Is my mother in the central command tent yet, Mio?" I asked as I walked towards the central command tent, preparing myself for an important meeting. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Except Lisa and Madam Estelle, who have no other duties as members of Marquess Rommel’s knights, they are already inside the central command tent. Marchioness Amagi is currently inspecting something to determine this military expedition can continue or not..."

"My mother voluntarily does such troublesome things, huh?"

"Yes, what a caring mother she is to her daughter, isn’t she? Oh! Alice-sama and Alyssa-sama are accompanying Marchioness Amagi. So Lily-sama doesn’t need to worry about anything Lily-sama doesn’t want. Alice-sama and Alyssa-sama will do their best to ensure this military expedition can continue!"

"Uh, what does that mean?"

I don’t understand Mio’s words at all in this important context.

"Several important events that have occurred are being evaluated by Marchioness Amagi, causing Alice-sama and Alyssa-sama considerable trouble... to ensure that this military expedition continues," Mio explained the details.

"So that’s what it means. I can’t blame my mother if she wants to stop this military expedition, though. Several new magical plants have been discovered and their locations recorded. That’s already a tremendous improvement in this military expedition, right?"

"Umm, about that. I think it’s a remarkable improvement. Considering that Marquess Rommel and Earl Timoti were only able to map the distribution of wild monsters or wild beasts in the past. Compared to their military expeditions, Lily-sama’s military expedition is clearly better."

"I felt embarrassed when I managed to find something that Father and Earl Timoti didn’t find."

"Lily-sama, you have earned something worthy of being able to go home and focus on preparing for the war season between the nobles."

Tap...

Tap...

Without realizing it, my footsteps had led me to the central command tent, which was already filled with high-ranking military officials ready to report to my mother. I walked inside and saw the seats neatly arranged for an important meeting.

The important meeting I was about to attend would definitely discuss the feasibility of continuing this military expedition or not, after several incidents had occurred.

The battle against the Tree of Life in the underground cave that was the home of the Forest Elves had been explained by Lisa, and my mother should have known that it was not a big deal to be able to stop this military expedition.

In addition, the problem regarding the dragon flock invasion attack from Marquess Arisawa Von Bloomgard was also not a big problem... after we do counterattack in his territory.

If I think about it further, there is no other reason to stop this military expedition other than security reasons, from my mother’s selfishness alone.

I sat on a chair that Mio had prepared.

"It’s going to take a while for Marchioness Amagi to finish her evaluation, Lily-sama. Would you like to enjoy a small snack before lunch with some of Lily-sama’s favorite hot tea?" Mio asked, glancing at the small table filled with small snacks and a pot of hot tea.

"Yes," since there was nothing else I could do at the moment, I agreed with Mio’s recommendation.

Mio immediately bowed to me, then hurried to the table with the hot teapot, preparing some small snacks that were perfect for enjoying before lunch.

While Mio was preparing small snacks and warm tea, Madam Estelle suddenly sat down beside me with her facial expression filled with various questions.

"Good afternoon, Lily-sama..." she said while smiling and looking friendly to me.

"Yes, good afternoon, Madam Estelle."

"Sorry for coming so suddenly... after getting bored of waiting for someone to come here. Would Lily-sama mind if I sit beside Lily-sama for a while?"

"I don’t mind that. I would also get bored if I were made to wait for a long time."

"Fufu~ I’m glad to hear that."

Madam Estelle, who was sitting beside me, seemed to want to ask me or wanted to talk about something else, which is why Lisa and her niece didn’t approach me, so they could give Madam Estelle space, who wanted to talk to me.

"Lily-sama..." Madam Estelle started to look awkward and hesitated to say something.

"Yes, Madam Estelle."

"I-I would like to apologize regarding my inappropriate behavior towards Lily-sama," in a gentle and guilt-filled tone, Madam Estelle apologized.

"Oh, about you being controlled by Marquess Arisawa Von Bloomgard after following his every command? I know it was form of your loyalty to Marquess Arisawa Von Bloomgard. You are not guilty about this."

"B-But... I’ve done something terrible without realizing it. Even Lily-sama went to the trouble of turning me back into a human!" Madam Estelle said in a high tone.

The guilt felt by Madam Estelle seemed to increase after seeing my mother’s magic screen, which showed her as a terrifying monster who had lost her mind.

Her body who is covered in black tentacles...

Her body who has rotted like a corpse...

The internal organs that were scattered out, making Madam Estelle feel guilty about something she had done, but she herself did not remember.

"Is there anything I can do to express my gratitude and apology to Lily-sama, other than becoming your personal military aide?" Madam Estelle asked, looking at me with a serious look in her eyes.

I didn’t expect Madam Estelle to say something like this.

"Besides being my personal military aide..." I muttered as I thought of an answer that would satisfy Madam Estelle.

As far as I think about this, I can only think of one important thing that comes from my Goddess’s blessing.

"How about you kiss me on the lips and swear your loyalty to me?" I murmured, surprising Madam Estelle.
