Why are these three old fogies here?
Loki's expression changed.
Charlotte Linlin looked longingly at the wolf meat that was starting to emit an enticing aroma.
We're done for; the Sister and the others found us.
Can Linlin still eat the roast meat?
Jarul's face was dark, his tone severe: "Prince Loki, as the future King of Elbaf, you should uphold everything about the Winter Solstice Festival, not break the rules of the Winter Solstice Festival with Linlin."
They thought the naturally intelligent Loki would save them worry.
Now it seems Loki has not only inherited Harald's bloodline.
He has also inherited Harald's rebellious ideology challenging Elbaf's traditions.
Doing such a thing shortly after being born.
"Linlin, even if you are still a child, our patience is limited." Jorul also scolded with a dark face, his tone extremely dissatisfied.
Mother Carmel quickly interjected: "Linlin, apologize to Lord Jorul and Lord Jarul quickly and ask for their forgiveness."
Charlotte Linlin glanced reluctantly at the fragrant roast meat, her head drooping: "I'm sorry, Linlin was too hungry. Don't blame Loki; it was Linlin who couldn't hold back."
"Damn it."
Loki cursed inwardly.
The excellent situation he created absolutely cannot be ruined by these two old fogies.
He argued: "Linlin is not from Elbaf, nor is she a giant. She doesn't need to abide by Elbaf's rules. Moreover, Linlin has a special constitution. If she continues to starve, a disaster unacceptable to everyone will occur."
Mother Carmel said in a lenient tone: "Prince Loki, Elbaf allowed the Lamb's House to be established in the Sun Realm. Naturally, the Lamb's House should also abide by Elbaf's traditions, and so should Linlin."
Jarul suppressed his anger and explained: "Prince Loki, you cannot understand all this yet. It is not just as simple as rules. The Winter Solstice Festival is the festival of the sun's death and resurrection. Elbaf owes its present state entirely to the grace of the Sun God. Only by experiencing this hunger can we get closest to the Sun God and understand the Sun God's grace to us and to Elbaf."
Jorul nodded sagely: "That's right. As for disaster, Prince Loki, do not be superstitious about the ability given by the blood of the Wine Village. Being superstitious about fragments of the future will instead cause the prophecy to become reality."
Can a dogshit prophecy compare to me reading the script?
A child's words just don't have enough credibility.
Loki felt somewhat helpless.
And that damn Nika God.
Is the grace of the Nika God endless?
Why is this ideology of suffering and gratitude present even after transmigration?
What to do next?
Should I just knock down these three old fogies and take Linlin to the Underworld for a few days?
No, injuring Carmel might directly provoke Charlotte Linlin.
Isn't this a lose-lose situation?
Right, there's still the Nika God!
Loki instantly organized his words:
"The Sun God is the God of Joy and Liberation. Making children endure hunger just to be grateful for the Sun God's kindness—isn't this a form of oppression against children? This is absolutely not the Sun God's original intention. I don't think the Sun God needs this kind of gratitude. If he saw this scene, he would only think you are foolish beyond reach, utterly stupid, and stubborn..."
"Loki!!!"
Jorul and Jarul's expressions changed drastically.
Where did Loki learn these words? Did he start learning from inside the womb?
The two wanted to refute, but for a moment didn't know where to start, their chests heaving with anger.
"You should address me as [Prince]. Moreover, am I wrong?! Children clearly need sufficient nutrition to grow into better adults, yet now they don't even have the right to eat freely. If I were the Sun God, I would only change such rules that oppress children."
Having found the trick, Loki spoke more and more smoothly.
The Sun God's utility is just too comprehensive.
These fanatics brainwashed by the Sun God.
They can't refute their own faith, can they?
Jorul and Jarul were speechless: "...."
Loki's understanding is correct; the Sun God is like that, the God of Liberation and Freedom.
But should they follow Loki's words?
This is Elbaf's tradition.
As elders of Elbaf, they should uphold it.
The group didn't notice.
Behind them, Charlotte Linlin was staring at the golden, oily roasted whole wolf, her fingers unconsciously intertwining.
So fragrant, so hungry, Linlin really wants to eat.
Linlin can't eat now.
Mother Carmel said to endure during the fasting festival, endure!
Linlin can definitely do it.
But, so fragrant...
Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense, Mother Carmel smiled kindly and persuaded softly: "Prince Loki, I know you like Linlin very much. I will take good care of her."
Unexpectedly, Linlin is so liked by Loki.
Trafficking Linlin has great potential!
Loki rolled his eyes. You take care? Take care of her into becoming a Marine or a slave in Mariejois?
Mother Carmel didn't care either. She looked up at Jorul and Jarul: "Elders, Linlin's problem is that I didn't watch her well. I am willing to bear the blame for this. Please do not expel her from Elbaf."
"Alright. As a price, Linlin must make up for the fasting days. Her fasting festival will restart from today." Jorul relented.
"No problem." Mother Carmel agreed quite readily. Just starving for a few days, what could happen?
"Absolutely not."
Loki refused.
There are only five days left now; maybe we can pass it safely.
Extending these seven days, wouldn't Charlotte Linlin go crazy one hundred percent?
At the same time, behind the three.
"Have to go through the fasting festival again?"
Charlotte Linlin's already meager rationality snapped completely upon hearing this. Her unfocused pupils lit up with terrifying red light as she rushed towards the roasted whole wolf stuck in the ground: "I don't want to fast anymore. Roast meat, Semla! I want to eat!!!"
"?" Loki turned his head abruptly.
Holy crap.
Old fogies really harm people!
The excellent situation I created is all ruined.
"Roar~ (Big brother, eat first!)"
King Kong reached out his ape hand attempting to stop her.
"King Kong, get lost!!"
Loki's eyelid twitched. He raised a foot and kicked King Kong away.
The little brother I just tamed, don't get yourself killed for me.
"Delicious, so delicious!"
Unafraid of the high temperature, Charlotte Linlin directly picked up the roasted wolf meat, grabbing torn chunks with both hands and stuffing them frantically into her mouth.
Between the biting of teeth, teeth-aching chewing sounds could be heard.
She actually chewed and swallowed even the hard bones.
"Linlin, don't be like this."
Mother Carmel didn't realize the danger and still attempted to persuade her.
"Linlin! Stop it!" Jorul frowned, his rough and powerful palm grabbing towards Charlotte Linlin, attempting to subdue her first.
"Roast meat, Semla, I want more!!!"
Having finished eating two roasted whole wolves, Charlotte Linlin looked back and roared wildly.
A berserk aura spread out like a tangible shockwave along with the sound waves.
Branches snapped, fallen leaves, soil, insects... everything flew backwards in all directions with Linlin as the center.
Even sturdy ancient trees toppled radially in all directions.
