I Just want a Peaceful life

After hearing the menu of milk-based products, Darren glanced at Mira, who nodded before replying to Nabe.

"We will take one of each." replied Darren.

"Wait!! Anna also wants it. It sounds delicious." said Anna while eating her cotton candy.

"Then, please make them two." replied Darren.

"Certainly. Please take a seat while I make them." said Nabe.

Suddenly, some parts of the shop's interior change into a cozy cafe. A moment later, everyone sits on the sofa while the two girls enjoy milk-based food.

"So, let's get this clear. You are the Red Queen, one of the main researchers that created that plague?" asked Angus to Nabe, who is also sitting with them.

"Nope. I am the one that created it. The others are just helping me with miscellaneous stuff." replied Nabe proudly while taking out Milk Ice for Anna out of thin air.

"Yeay!!" as Anna takes Milk Ice.

"May I ask why?" asked Angus.

"Because why not?" asked Nabe back while tilting her head like it was a dumb question.

'Guess she is one of those eccentric and mad seventh-grade people.' thought Angus inwardly. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

Most seventh-grade people are very eccentric old people with twisted minds. Some of them have very self-destructive behavior. Hence, it is not a surprise to find them creating mass-murder weapons as a hobby.

"Alright, enough about me. I hear someone from the Heart Kingdom can find the cure for that Plague not too long ago. Are you that person?" asked Nabe back.

"Tch... The news has already spread, huh?" grumbled Angus.

"Oh my… Why are you unhappy? I thought a young noble like you likes being famous."

"For your information, I just got some rumor from the traveler but never knew it was you. I guess it's based on my instinct since you are also from the Heart Kingdom." said Nabe.

"I see… Well, I dislike being famous. I also didn't want to get this Baron title if I could. It only brings more trouble." said Angus playfully.

"I know, right. They will keep coming like annoying moths when you are too famous. If I do not return to Nirvas, those dumbasses may still try to pursue me." replied Nabe casually.

Hearing this, Angus and the others couldn't help but be speechless. They know the moths Nabe is talking about since it is quite a famous story in Firuman. The Red Queen is one of the legendary figures feared by many.

Not only her strength, but she is also a genius that could turn any kingdom into a wasteland with a single drop of her creation. There is also a rumor that she managed to escape three seventh-grade combatant ambushes. Since then, no one has dared to mess with her anymore.

"Anyway, how did you find the cure? If I am not wrong, that stupid god makes it impossible to crack while empowering it." asked Nabe.

"Hmm… Will you believe it if I say I don't exactly find the cure?" replied Angus.

"Hm?? Wait… If you do not find the cure, the only way is to somehow trap Plargos' divine energy. Hahaha… I know that my creation is perfect. That stupid God only makes it vulnerable." said Nabe proudly.

"Still, I notice your bright mind and powerful ancient power related to mind in you. So, Based on your current power, how long will you be able to find the cure for that plague?" asked Nabe.

"It is hard to say since that plague keeps evolving and completely different from one person to another, though the symptoms are mostly the same. Medicine and healing are also not my expertise." Angus replied honestly.

"But, I think I could find the cure in roughly twenty years or more if I focus on it with enough resources. If not, It may take fifty or more." added Angus.

"Hmm… then it could be said my plague will still be safe to use for the next fifty years give or take. Maybe I should create another variant to keep those researchers busy." muttered Nabe in a low voice.

However, everyone could still hear her and her evil plan, which only made everyone speechless at her bluntness.

Still, they didn't speak as they knew the woman was strong and they were inside her territory. They don't know what kind of things she hid in this shop, especially with her expertise.

"Ahh… My apologies. I was completely lost in my thoughts. Anyway, thank you for your feedback. You don't know how important this is for a researcher like myself. It is tough to get honest feedback, especially from the intelligent one." said Nabe.

Then, they chat about various things and complete their initial transaction.

"So, Master Nabe, what are you planning against us?" asked Angus in a serious tone.

"Hmm.. Like I said before, I mean no harm. I am only interested in this adorable little monster." replied Nabe honestly.

"Hmph... Anna is not a little monster. Anna is Anna." replied Anna while eating her Milk Ice.

"Of course, little Anna. Say, did you want to come with this big sister? You could eat a lot of delicious food." enticed Nabe while patting Anna.

Angus and Jayna are immediately surprised at such words but decide to say nothing and wait for Anna's reply. At the same time, Anna unusually stops eating and looks at Nabe with piercing pitch-black eyes.

As they look into each other's eyes, Nabe suddenly finds herself inside a pitch-black murky space. She keeps her calm and observes the surroundings. Until she finally sees something in front of her.

"Did Milk Lady try to separate Anna from Angus and Big sis?" asked Anna emotionlessly.

Anna's voice brought Nabe back to the real world and startled but the last thing she experienced.

"Hahaha… N-No. Of course not. I am just joking around." said Nabe while trying to calm her.

Still, everyone knows the change in Nabe. They know Anna must have done something in the split moment without their knowledge. On the other hand, Anna blinks a few times before returning to her cheerful behavior and eating back her food.

"Well, if there is nothing, I think we should return." said Angus as he tried to excuse themself.

"Sure. Oh yeah… Please take this with you. It is a gift from me and to little Anna." said Nabe as she took out a small case.

"What is this?" asked Angus.

"It's some of the masterpieces I created during my free time. It's better to be used than collect dust in my storage. However, It is not suitable for human males unless you have a unique taste." replied Nabe.

"Masterpieces? Not suitable for males? Is it okay for me to receive it?" asked Angus in worry.

"Of course. I think your phoenix girlfriend and little Anna will be suitable to use those." said Nabe with a smile.

Angus again wants to refuse it while ignoring the remark about Jayna being a phoenix. Although he didn't know how she knew about it, he also didn't say anything since smart people like Nabe always have their own way.

In fact, Angus pays more attention to the gift he receives, especially after hearing it is the Red Queen's masterpiece.

'This feels nothing but trouble. But I don't think I could refuse it. Anna, Mira, and Darren didn't say anything about it. It should be safe.' thought Angus inwardly.

Hence, he decides to just receive it and end their little visit. Coming out of the store, they find the other Altras looking at them with worry and anxiety. They also notice Nabe behind Angus' group.

"I-Isn't that the ungrateful witc…" said one of the Red Guards before someone beside him forced him to close his mouth.

No one dared to say anything and fear could be seen from the nearby Altras.

"W-Welcome back. I hope everything is alright." welcomed Elder Tedar.

"Yes. It is quite unexpected. Let's go back now. Right, kids?" said Aunt Extalia.

"Sure." shrugged Angus.

"Please come again if you need anything. As long as you can pay the price, Rosemade will provide anything." said Nabe from behind.

"Let's leave that to fate." replied Angus cryptically before leaving the area.

"Fate, huh?" replied Nabe with a smile.

In the meantime, a few elders stay behind while Elder Tedar and Elder Jojin, along with their men escort Angus' group to the embassy.

"What are you doing, Nabe? Don't you know who they are?" asked one of the elders in an arrogant tone.

However, Nabe didn't reply and returned back inside the shop. She pretended she didn't hear the elders' question.

"Tch… What an ungrateful bitch!! If it is not because of her smart brain, she will become a great sacrifice for the Maroon Eternity long ago." snarked one of the elders.

"Enough!! We already made a pact with her. There is nothing we could do about it." rebuked another elder.

"Hmph… I never understand One Father's decision for that pact. No matter how I see it, she is just a lowly female." commented another elder.

"Still, it didn't change the fact that she is in the seventh grade like Yawan." commented another elder.

"That's more reason to become a great sacrifice. She should be honored to become a great sacrifice and offer herself. It seems the outsider really polluted her mind." said another elder.

While the elder badmouthing Nabe, they don't know that their One Father Makar is protecting them from the Red Queen Nabe. Unfortunately, no one knows about this.
