Chapter 226: Someone who has everything Part2

After a couple of hours, five more carriages broke away from the group, including the one Tang Yue was in.

Tang Yue had already instructed Charlotte about the route to the village and the chieftain’s house from the details she obtained from Zinya.

So Charlotte conveniently followed the instructions and directed the bristle wolves to drag the carriage towards the chieftain’s house.

And as for Zinya, the dwarven girl fell into a slumber after the enslave spell wore off and she was still happily sleeping.

As soon as the carriage neared the chieftain’s house, an old man and a young woman, approximately of Tang Yue’s age or rather of Yana’s age rushed out.

This was her father and their housemaid.

Tang Yue smiled slightly and got out of the carriage. 

Even though she had heard stories from Zinya about how nice and kind the chieftain was, deep down she didn’t believe her at all. 

How could a father really love a trash daughter? She doubted that everything was an act.

But Tang Yue’s gut instincts were instantly shattered.

The old man hurried over to her and without any warning pulled her into a big bear hug.

“Oh my god. You are back and nothing happened to you.”

“Such a bad child. Didn’t I tell you not to go, but you tagged along with that boy anyways.”

“You idiot. You could have simply told this old man what was in your heart.”

“If dad knew that you loved him so much, I would have immediately arranged for the marriage.”

“You really didn’t have to go through all this trouble just to spend some time with that boy.”

The old man continued ranting and patted Tang Yue’s head. She could clearly see that he was very moved and agitated.

Tang Yue wordlessly stood, rooted to her spot. 

Except for the maid, there was no one else present around them. 

So why was he putting on this act? Her mind wandered.

The old man seemed visibly relieved and happy about her safe return. 

No matter how much she tried she couldn’t sense even the slightest amount of deceit in his actions.

“Come in. Come in. Don’t dawdle here, child. Dad will personally prepare some special bone soup and grilled meat for you.” 

“Why don’t you rest inside first? I will come and get you when lunch is ready.”

The old man ushered her in hurriedly, but then he stopped for a second and finally paid attention to the carriage and the two new faces standing near the carriage.

“Yana, you bought slaves?” He raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

“Yes, dad. I wanted some help around the house.” Tang Yue quickly regained her composure and explained.

“But child… the money?” Kosa worriedly asked. He knew that the condition in the entire dwarven empire was not that great. 

They already had a housemaid. Now to employ two more slaves? That was simply excessive extravagance! 

Only the powerful clan elders and royal family descendants could afford such an extravagance.

“Ummm… Ummm…” Yana stammered. 

Of course, Tang Yue already had an explanation prepared so she didn’t care about these questions.

But… it was just that… she unexpectedly felt guilty and awkward every time she directly looked at the loving old man.

“Father, I obtained some good materials in the labyrinth because of luck.”

“I just traded somethings to get these helpers from the elven slave market.”

“With just father and myself mining, we are struggling a lot. I thought that these two can help us manage the mine better and take care of the other things also.” Yana hesitantly mumbled.

“Please forgive me for being impudent, father.” She added.

The old dwarf chuckled. “Silly child. Stop saying stupid things. You are always thinking about this old man. Hai Hai.”

“Good that you obtained something from the labyrinth. But child you should have traded it to get some potions and other resources from the elves.”

“Isn’t it better for you to improve your earth elemental affinity? Forget about the mine child. That… father will somehow take care of that.”

“You are too filial for your own good. Ok never mind. What is done is done. You should go and take some rest inside.”

“Ask your slave to massage your body and relieve some stress.” 

“Even if you were just sitting, the journey home all the way from Eldoria should have been tiresome. Take some rest child.” 

The old man mumbled and went inside the kitchen.

Tang Yue absentmindedly nodded and watched the old man scurrying about the house, personally preparing a meal for her.

“Go, help father.” She instructed the young maid who was standing near her and admiring the carriage and the bristle wolves.

Tang Yue then sighed and stepped into the house. The house itself was not too extravagant.

It was a simple construction made of uneven rocks and stones, but it was spacious, big, and clean. 

It was more or less like a house of a commoner from the elven settlements, rather than a village chieftain’s house.

Tang Yue looked around for a bit and then headed inside to her room. She didn’t want to make it too obvious that she was seeing everything for the first time.

Meanwhile… outside the house… Zinya finally stirred awake. 

“Where did everyone go?” She got out of the carriage and noticed that they had already reached the village.

She was in fact currently in front of the chieftain’s house.

“Bitch.” Zinya muttered under her breath. She felt utterly humiliated. 

It was clear that Yana had abandoned her just like that as if she was a piece of luggage and left her alone in the carriage standing outside the house.

“Hmph. It looks like this trip has truly gotten to your head.”

“Just because brother Barton talked to you for a bit, you suddenly became all high and mighty? You dare to ignore me and leave me like this?” 

“I will make sure that you pay for this.” She clenched her fists and started walking back to her house.
