At the end of the conversation, Idan asked Milla if she had any relatives and what plans she had for the future if she was released. Milla replied that she had no close people left, and she did not know where to go. Then she asked for permission to stay here. "I feel safe here and I am sure that the creatures of darkness will not be able to reach me," she said. "Okay, you can stay, but you can’t just stay here, you’ll have to pay for staying here," he said. "I understand," Milla replied. "If you need any help and I don’t have to leave this place, I’ll be happy to help." "Well, if something suitable comes up and we need your help, I’ll let you know," Idan agreed, accepting her offer. After finishing the conversation, Idan dismissed Milla, and she returned to the guest room. Arabel immediately appeared as soon as she saw that Idan had finished his conversation with Milla. "How did it go?" she asked, sitting down across from him. Idan told her everything Milla had told him, as well as his hunch about the mysterious creature. "We need to be more careful," he concluded. "A creature capable of communicating with other worlds and summoning them cannot be ordinary. I have a feeling that there is a much more serious threat behind this, since even our system prefers to stay away from it." "You’re right," Arabel nodded, agreeing with his opinion. "But don’t worry too much," Idan added. "Let’s focus on the current tasks and completing our chain task." After making this decision, Idan and Arabel began discussing the upcoming Guild meeting that was going to take place the next day. Idan decided not to go anywhere and stay in the Kingdom until the meeting started. They spent a lot of time discussing before returning to their bedroom on the second floor. For the first time since their house was built, they were able to enjoy sleeping on a large bed. In the morning, Idan woke up in Arabel’s strong arms. The feeling of her delicate body pressed against him made his heart beat faster. He couldn’t control his body’s natural reaction, and very quickly, a tent formed below. Idan watched the process in silence, trying not to move so as not to wake Arabel. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a little fox holding a camera with a grin and taking pictures of his tent. "Coco!" thought Idan. After taking enough pictures, Coco wagged her tail and, opening the rift, jumped down there and disappeared. "That scoundrel," — sighed Idan, and, lowering his gaze, met Arabel’s eyes. "Oh, are you awake?" he asked. Arabel nodded, and her face flushed. Idan could only grin at her, adding to her embarrassment. Before Arabel could pull away, Idan hugged her and wouldn’t let go. "Where are you going in such a hurry?" he asked. "It’s still early, and we shouldn’t rush anywhere yet. Let’s just lie here a little longer." "All right," Arabel agreed. Idan couldn’t describe in words how wonderful he felt at that moment. He could clearly hear Arabel’s heart beating fast, and her breathing. The warmth of her body pressed against his, and his arms hugging her—all this caused a storm of emotions in him. And the longer he lay there, the more excited he became. Idan realized that not only was he experiencing similar feelings, but Arabel was experiencing the same thing. Finally, in order not to aggravate the situation, they decided to distance themselves from each other a little. Arabel got up and hurried into the bathroom, closing the door behind her and turning on the surveillance protection. Idan, watching her actions, couldn’t help but smile stupidly. Sitting down on the bed and staring at the bedroom window, he stretched. "System," — Idan said. "Tell me, please, is there anything I need to do before using my candlelit dinner award? [Host, you need to notify the Supreme Chef System in advance so that it can find some free time for the event.] "So I need to notify and book the time in advance, right?" said Idan. [Yes, that’s right], the System confirmed. "System, send a request. I want to take advantage of this opportunity soon.", — Idan asked. Without further ado, the System complied with Idan’s request. "Thank you," he said. Without waiting for Arabel to come out of the bathroom, Idan decided to go downstairs. He put on casual loose-fitting clothes from his small wardrobe and, leaving the bedroom, headed to the first floor. There he found Irene and Arslan sitting at a table enjoying coffee. "Good morning," they greeted Idan. "Good morning," he replied, greeting them in return. Idan noticed that both of them looked a little tired. Although he was curious to know the details of what happened the day before yesterday, he decided not to ask questions. None of this was that important at the moment. He also took a clean mug, poured himself coffee, added a spoonful of sugar, stirred and, for the first time in a long time, began to drink slowly, enjoying every sip. Taking small sips of coffee, he remembered the day when he woke up in the morning all wet. The day that changed his life. The day he met Arabel. Almost two years have passed in their world since then. However, it had only been about three months for Idan and Arabel. But those three months were so eventful that it seemed like a whole year to them. Irene and Arslan waited patiently for Ivette and their son to wake up to finally see them. Idan finished his cup and started making breakfast. Irene and Arslan watched his skillful movements without looking up, unable to hide their admiration. Arslan was even a little jealous of Idan, and Irene was eager to learn how to cook like her brother or future sister-in-law. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩 Soon Arabel finally came downstairs and, taking Rizzy from Idan, began to feed her with her blood in front of her brother and Irene. Arabel was followed by other guests, who began to eat breakfast with great pleasure. Idan and Arabel’s cooking was so delicious that even those who didn’t need constant nourishment, like mortals, couldn’t give up on the pleasure. After breakfast, Idan and Arabel cleaned up the kitchen and spent some time in each other’s company until Arabel left to call Leo and Felicia. It was time for their Guild to hold its first official meeting.
