Chapter 299: Guests of Honor

The situation became awkward the moment after. Elysia and her friends were no longer talking because of considerations of the Goddess of Blessings. At the same time, Elena only shrugged a little because there was no meaningful explanation.

Nell just said it was complicated, and Ella could only answer that it was her destiny. However, the latter had mixed feelings when she gave the response to her friends.

Their trip to Lavely Pizza in a strategic place between the city's inner circle and the outer circle only took no more than ten minutes. Without further ado, Elysia welcomed everyone to enter and headed for the top floor.

"Good morning, Miss Elysia. Good to see you are back."

"Good day to you, Miss Evelyn."

"Wishing you the best for the day ahead, Miss Gabriella."

"Morning--"

Various greetings were given by several employees who were preparing before opening hours. It was still half an hour before seven. Elysia and her friends certainly gave a friendly response.

Elysia didn't forget to order several pizza types and other menus to be delivered to the top floor before she and her group went there.

"Ah, we're home." Evelyn threw herself onto the soft sofa.

"Eve, your courtesy." Elysia shook her head with a helpless expression.

"Uhm, please take a seat." Evelyn immediately sat down politely and invited the others as if nothing had happened.

Somehow, she was happy when she arrived on the fourth floor of their Lavely Pizza. After all, it was a place belonging to her, Elysia and Ella.

After everyone sat down to their seats, a bespectacled woman with short caramel hair walked into the living room. She wore a black suit like a reliable manager. However, she was pushing a serving trolley.

"Excuse me. Glad to see you all in good health, Miss Elysia, Miss Evelyn, Miss Gabriella. This is the breakfast dish you ordered just a moment ago." The manager lady gave a greeting with a friendly smile.

Ella and Evelyn answered the greeting accordingly, but Elysia had a slight delay in responding. She remembered when Ayla refused politely to be called with an additional honorific for whatever reason.

"Thank you, Ayla. Have you had breakfast? Come join us." Elysia invited the manager lady nicely while the dishes were being arranged on the dining table by Ayla.

"I am honored, Miss Elysia. Unfortunately, I have had breakfast. All right, the dish is ready on the dining table. Please allow me to excuse myself." Ayla smiled faintly in refusal.

Even though she hadn't had breakfast, she didn't dare to have breakfast with these special girls, not to mention that there were guests here.

The three guests had a somewhat unusual aura, especially the stunning girl with long golden hair who wore a summer hat over there.

"Ah, fine. Thanks for the hard work, Ayla." Elysia didn't insist on that. In retrospect, Ayla always refused to have breakfast together when the opportunity came.

"It is my duty, Miss Elysia. Ah, right, the data you requested will be completed this noon. I will bring it here as soon as possible." Ayla suddenly remembered something important. She said that now so that Elysia would be around this noon.

"Hum-hm, I understand you, Ayla. Look, Ely, Ayla is working fast and according to my predictions." Evelyn smiled playfully.

"It's that fast to collect data from dozens of cities? It's only been four days... You really worked fast, Ayla. All right, please deliver the report this noon." Elysia was a little surprised, but she nodded with a pleased expression. As expected of the marketing specialist Pope Alexander sent.

"Thank you for your appreciation." After that, Ayla left from there.

"All right, everyone. Welcome for breakfast. Have a taste of the best dishes at our Lavely Pizza." Ella declared after she clapped her hands for attention. It was now breakfast time.

"Hum, all right. Let's have breakfast." Evelyn asked politely, and the others certainly didn't refuse.

Then, they had breakfast together with a delicious and healthy meal. However, there was something strange shortly after. The Goddess of Light didn't participate in breakfast. She just pampered the Goddess of Blessings with a shower of attention.

"Ooh! This new variant of soft bread explodes in my mouth. Soft, savory, and varied in taste. This food called pizza is such a brilliant idea, a great breakthrough in culinary." Nell ate a slice of pizza quickly and efficiently as if she just needed to swallow it and be done with it.

"Sure, sure, here again. You look hungry, little one." Elena took another slice of pizza and gave it to the little Goddess.

When viewed from the outside, Elena just smiled softly like a kind, attentive girl. In fact, she only wanted to make sure this little Goddess was full and had the energy for the following schedule.

Meanwhile, the others just ate their breakfast in silence while gazing at the Goddess of Blessings' appetite. Even Vanessa didn't want to compete and just eat in peace.

With such a small body, where did all the food go? It was a ridiculous thought that came to mind.

In the meantime, Lavely Pizza would open in a few minutes, and the customers were already queuing long enough to get their first-morning serving. While waiting, they took their time with gossip and small talk.

"Hey, I heard that many essential people will be visiting this city as guests of honor in the Imperial Palace." Citizen M raised the topic of conversation about things he had just realized.

"Oh, yes, I also saw that near the eastern city gate. Many carriages have been prepared for the guests." Housewife S was also aware of that.

"Who do you think will come to visit with that much carriage?" Adventurer W touched his chin as if in guesswork.

"This is just my guess. Maybe the Emperors and the authorities will come today. As you know, three days ago was a shocking day. A lot happened at that time." Merchant A stroked his handlebar mustache as he shared his reasonable assumption.

"Oh, this afternoon will be so festive. No wonder the guard in the city has become so tight. I thought there was another level 5 alert. Anyway, what kind of pizza is the tastiest? What will you order later?" Young Master R changed the conversation right away. He wanted to know the other's opinion about the best pizza he would try.

"Well, the question comes, and only one answer will come from my mouth. The special deluxe pizza with lots of mushrooms, I like the custom one. Oh, sorry, I don't want to raise controversy, okay? It's just my preference." Fatty Boy F immediately covered his mouth. He suddenly remembered the previous bad experience when he had suggested the same thing to his friends.

"Hum, that's your taste. Why apologize? I prefer exquisite package level 5. I'm rich and like the most expensive ones. And of course, enjoy my time with the best service on the third floor." Rich Lady B patted her stomach, impatiently waiting for Lavely Pizza to open.

"Well, new menus come every week and now is the time. I'll try a new one." Citizen M had a different opinion, and he got a positive response from many people.

"Is that so?" Young Master R stroked his chin in contemplation.

"Young master, let's try the best menu package on the third floor. That's the floor closest to the boss lady. Ah, I remember she and her group just came and glanced at me. What a blessing." Servant N glanced up, a little lost in thought.

"Huh? Miss Elysia, Miss Evelyn, and Holy Princess are still girls, you idiot. They glanced at me. You just happened to be in front of me." Young Master R frowned at once.

"Oh, anyway, I heard they are very high in demand, young master. Are you confident that you can get the favor of the three stunning beauty in question?" Servant N whispered near his young master's ear.

"Of course, my charm knows no bounds. I just need a chance. My harem route will start today." Young Master R clenched his hand into a fist as he glanced at the ring on his thumb with confidence. He smirked just by imagining his success.

After a while, Lavely Pizza was finally open for business, and customers entered in an orderly manner. Several guards and holy knights were also there to maintain safety and order.

However, the sound of galloping hooves was heard from afar. Luxurious carriages drawn by gallant horses were approaching.

"Oh, look! The guests of honor have arrived. The symbols on those banners, they are from the Cuttexus Kingdom!" Citizen M pointed and exclaimed.

Feeling necessary, everyone on the side of the road immediately pulled over. Pedestrian made way for the guests of honor even though the path was wide.

*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*

The ruby-armored knights on horseback just passed by without warning as no one was blocking the way.

Then, several carriages followed right behind the Aeddoterra Kingdom's imperial knights. A squad of knights in black armor mounted the horses to escort from behind.

"Wow, as I thought... Today will be so festive. I saw Emperor Elliott and his family in the golden carriage in the middle formation." Young Master R just expressed that in a flat whisper-like voice. It was none of his business, to begin with. His current objective was only to meet top-class beauties.

Then, He and his servant walked into Lavely Pizza as soon as it was their turn. To his surprise, the long queue moved so quickly and neatly.

The guests of honor commotion only attracted attention for a moment, and people returned to their busy lives right after that.
