TAMING THE BEAST: HER LITTLE PET のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

“Competition?” Elaina muttered in surprise as the crowd went crazy with cheers. She glanced at Drake whose face had already turned sour. She turned to Ronan and the woman gave her an encouraging thumbs up with a mocking undertone. She guessed that was what she got for insinuating that her musicians were not the best. She exhaled and returned her gaze back to Drake, she knew he was ready to confront Ronan so she gestured that he shouldn't and it was fine. She was not one to act timid either, if the owner wanted a competition then she would oblige and show her she was indeed the best.“So the order would be Mr Don, Mr Hopper and Mrs Elaina. Give us something catchy that would blow our minds and make us unable to sit down” Ronan instructed and everyone cheered again.Mr Don stepped forward and began playing with his violin. It started slow but soon began to pick up pace, the crowd was deadly silent in the beginning and began dancing soon after. The sound of the music was so angelic, El

By 5am, Elaina and Drake were already up and ready to leave inn. They calculated that leaving early will reduce prying eyes and it was a good start of the long journey ahead.And so with their bags in hand, they came out of their room and headed to the reception room so they could check out. Drake was the first to sense that something was wrong and he immediately alerted Elaina, “I can hear some people shouting and heavy footsteps… something is off” he said with a cautious frown.Elaina gulped in worry as they slowly went closer to what looked like a forming crowd at the reception desk.“We are looking for fugitives who attacked the palace, we have orders from the king to search every nook and cranny of the kingdom and that includes this inn. So you better let us do our search or we'll burn your pityful shack to the ground” A loud voice thundered and people gasped in fear. Drake held Elaina's hand tightly as they finally broke through the people on the way to see the reason for all

“Nonsense! Why would I have those two in my residence?” Xavier asked in confusion. Have the people from the palace gone mad? He wondered. There was no way they think he would go that far for criminals and he found it degrading.“We received a tip and the palace gave us the go ahead” they replied.“Incompetent fools! You will leave and return to wherever you came from or I'll report you to the king and have you all slaughtered” he threatened. “We are sorry but we cannot leave until we search, the king ordered it” they refused to the dismay of Xavier.His face turned sour, passerbys were already sending strange looks his way and he felt angry that he was being humiliated like that.Now his resistance was going to look like he truly hid the criminals in his house, it was not looking good and Xavier didn't want such a smear on his name.He sighed frustratedly and replied, “Alright then, you can come in and search all you want. I already told you that there's nobody here, I hope the palac

“Thank you but we are good” Elaina rejected the couple's offer with a polite smile. They were in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people, it was better to be safe than sorry.“No, I insist… at least have a few bites, you must be missing home cooked food” Mrs Butterworth said as she pulled us to eat down with them.“Trust me, my wife's dumplings will change your mind, please sit with us. We don't usually have people around” her husband gestured with a smile as he dished out some dumplings along with the broth and began eating enthusiastically.As if on cue, the steaming aroma made Elaina and Drake's mouth water and Elaina's stomach even growled embarrassingly. She turned red and sat down, Drake followed after. ‘The man had eaten from it so we should be fine, it was going to be just a bite or two anyways…’ They thought in their mind as they settled in awkwardly.Elaina went in first and placed a dumpling in her mouth and chewed slowly. The burst of flavor made her almost moan out fr

Elaina and Drake bought everything they needed and found a quiet spot to change into their disguise.Elaina wore a flowing gown that showed a bump from the clothes she had stuffed together to create an illusion of pregnancy. She then proceeded to cover her hair up with a scarf and change her footwear to a poor man's scandal.Drake on the other hand changed into some worn-out garments and a turban wrapped around his head. They were lucky enough to see a fake beard and Drake put it on to completely change his look to a humble shepherd. They added some finishing touches and lastly covered the lower part of their faces with a shawl.They had decided to dress as one of the lowest commoners that people barely paid attention to; a wretched shepherd and his pregnant wife. They could only hoped it would be enough for the warriors to ignore. And if not, this might just be their last day of freedom.Once they were done, Elaina climbed Zane and assumed her position while Drake walked on foot, ho
