The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 362 - A Hunting Request

"You should be pretty hungry after that, right?" I asked her.

"Huh?... We- Well, I’m not that hungry, I’m still okay... Grunch~" Before she could finish, her stomach made a growling sound.

Margaret who was still a bit subconscious about the whole thing from before, wanted to mitigate the damages and act a bit lady like. Alas, her body didn’t fade away from the truth and she blushed.

I didn’t think much of it and I also couldn’t’ see her face so I didn’t see her blush.

"See, what did I tell you? You’re hungry." I say, looking at her stomach, "Let’s go fill up that stomach before it becomes worse."

"Hmm" Margaret could only whimper quietly while following me as she looked at her own stomach in anger, ’Body, why do you betray me at such a worse time!’

We came to the dining hall, where we met someone expected... strange.

"Father"

Margaret called Seman, who was sitting in his usual head seat and sipping what looked like some poisonous green soup. His face seemed quite strained and he drank the soup with disgust, yet continued none the same.

Seman looked up from his soup and we both saw how fucked up he looked.

"Margaret, Henry... morning." His voice came out quite hoarse.

"Your grace, are you okay?" I spoke softly as I saw my voice making his face even weirder, an example of someone with extreme alcohol headache.

"Ye- Yes... I just drank a bit more than usual last night."

Margaret sighed knowing what this was about, "Didn’t I already tell you not to do that, father. You know when you drink too much, you always get... well, like this."

"I know, I know, you don’t have to say to me ten times." Seman said and smiled weirdly at me, "It was a happy event so I had to drink."

Even though he gave me that rough smile, I felt there was something else that he was not saying.

"Well, your grace, no matter how well the occasion, it isn’t worth your graces health."

Seman shrugged at my words, "Don’t worry about it, it’s the only few times I get to have an excuse for drinking. You guys sit down and fill your stomach, don’t think about me."

Then he turned to Margaret, "Margaret, you should be extra hungry after dealing with those ruffians outside. I saw how you flung Lucian down and put him to the ground."

Seman shook his head in disappointment, "He’s been training for like what, 20 years of his life and he gets flung by a girl 10 years younger than him... such a shame."

"Regardless of that, it really was a fun show to see. You should have seen it with me." I told him as he smiled.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. But I’ve seen enough to know what the results would be every time, so it doesn’t matter much."

"But that still doesn’t make it any less funny." I tell him as he laughed out loud.

While we were having fun and eating our fill, we didn’t notice the white haired hot blooded tomboy beside us that was looking quietly down to her meal with a heavy blush on her face.

’These bastards... at least try to behave like I’m here. Talking about me like I’m some kind of wrestler that brought down multiple guys altogether!’

’I know what I did, but I’m still a girl, I have shame... I do... I really do!’

But among her thoughts, she felt Henry’s hands patting her leg and saw up to see him give a smile, a happy and a bit naughty one.

Margaret’s face blushed once again as she dived down on her food and started eating like a beast.

I look at her suddenly gouging down, ’She really must be hungry.’

While Seman had another thought, ’A normal day with a bit of- agh... that fucking headache.’

...

As we were about to finish our breakfast and leave, Seman called Margaret.

"Margaret, I’d be leaving the city for a few days, it could even turn into weeks so I want to leave you in charge here."

Margaret nodded, "Is it a meeting or some business far away?"

"No, it’s about clearing out some pests." Seman’s face turned heavy, "I’m sure you’ve seen the increase of bandits around the vicinity."

We nodded, "Yes, we encountered some of them."

"I’ve heard, its them that I’m going on a mission for, to branch out bandits surrounding our place and figure out where they sprung from." Seman said, "Which might take me more than the speculated time."

Margaret nodded, "That’s good. Have you found their base yet?"

"No, but we have spotted a lot of mini bases. I’m hoping that as we are clearing them out, I’ll also find location of their main one."

"That’s good." I say, "And I may be overreaching here, but can I come with you?"

Seman’s brows furrowed, "You want to go with me?" I nodded, "You do realize that I’m going on a hunt here, a lot of people will get killed."

"Yes and I want to help you out."

"That is good and all, but you’re my son-in-law. So, no, I can’t risk taking you out there and getting you killed." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Come on, your grace. You’ve heard of what I’ve done." I try to make him understand, "You’ve heard of my tales, you know how far I can go. This wouldn’t be too difficult for me."

Before Seman could deny, Margaret started supporting me, "He should go with you father."

"You also think that?" Seman asked.

"Yes, not only will this be a good experience for him but it will also give him a good standing among our soldiers." Margaret said, "He is going to be my husband and the soldiers need to have a good image of him if he were to ever lead them in the future or for another reason."

"You do make sense..." Seman said and thought quite hard about it before nodding, "Alright, since you agree and Henry is eager too, let’s do it."

"It’ll be our first hunt, a father and son-in-law hunting."

I smile, "And your grace, I have another request to make of you."

...

A Few Hours after...

I got down to the training grounds wearing a set of armor.

I covered my whole body with full-length steel armor with a large helmet blocking my view. The armor was of the best quality, as is my importance to the Religias family.

Because of my armor, I looked even more of a giant then my 6.9 feet tall height showed me. Margaret wore a normal dress and walked along.

"You sure, you’ll be okay out there?"

I nod, my voice coming out a bit mechanical through the helmet, "I’d have to be. I need to impress your father, don’t I?"

She nodded and then looked at Lucian, "Lucian, come here!"

Lucian like a loyal dog came to her with one call, "Yes, Margaret."

"You know my father’s about to go on a bandit hunt?" He nodded, "Good, I don’t have to explain it to you."

"Well, there been some changes... actually only one."

"You will also go on the bandit hunt."

"As you order, I would protect your father with everything." Lucian nodded with pride.

Margaret smiled, "I know you would, but this time, your job would be a lot easier."

"This time you will be guarding this guy for me." She patted me.

Lucian’s face lost its smile immediately.
