Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System-Novel

Chapter 72 - The Invisible One Part Two

Tilia started to tear up once again. She rubbed her eyes and sobbingly said: "I have been here the entire time…"

"Oh dear, I am so sorry. I did not even realize you were there. I'm sorry honey, would you like some food too?" Siat asked, her cheeks red with embarrassment. She saw the child when she first came in, but for some reason, she thought this young one left with the older girl. She couldn't help but take another look at Tilia and wonder how she could miss such a cute little girl.

"Mm… Can I have what she's having?" Tilia nodded her head and pointed at Kana's plate.

"Of course, dear. It will be right up." Siat quickly ran off to the back.

"How does it taste?" Tilia asked. She could smell it, and it smelt really good. The smell was making her stomach growl. She had not eaten all day, so she really couldn't wait to sink her teeth into some orc meat.

"Ish gwood." Kana answered, her mouth full of food. She was happy the portions were so big because each bite was like a burst of flavor in her mouth. The food cooked at the inn was thousands of times tastier than the food she could make.

Tilia smiled at Kana's answer and licked her lips. She really couldn't wait to get hers. So she could eat as well. But as she sat there, the food on Kana's plate disappeared, and thirty minutes passed by. Tilia looked around, wondering what was going on but just figured it was busy, so she did not get up to say anything.

By this time, Ceilie came walking back through the inn doors and walked up to the counter where Siat was standing, looking out over the room. "Here you go. Also, add on what the two girls ate, and I will be ordering something as well."

"Two girls…?" Siat turned her gaze over to the table Kana and Tilia were sitting at to see a young girl in tears looking back at her with a pleading look and screamed out: "Holy hell, I did it again! Sweety, I will be right back with your meal!"

Ceilie was confused by Siat's sudden outburst as she watched the chubby lady run to the back room. Ceilie was still standing there with her hand stretched out, holding the crystal card. "Umm… Okay?" Ceilie put away the crystal card and walked to the table, and sat down next to Tilia. "What happened?"

"Not sure… People keep forgetting Misha's presence." Kana answered as she let out a loud burp while rubbing her stomach. Her actions were not anywhere close to being lady like.

"That's strange." Ceilie turned and looked at Tilia and found nothing to be wrong with her. So she wondered why others would be ignoring her. Her gaze fell onto the ring on Tilia's finger, and something came to mind. "Misha, did Pepelt ever tell you what the effects of that ring are besides changing your appearance? "

"He told me that it would suppress my scent to a certain degree." Tilia replied. She was still pouting for not getting her food for so long now. She had already been waiting for over an hour.

"I think the ring is causing you to become almost invisible to those who do not know you well. We will have to do some tests with it later." Ceilie rubbed Tilia's head. She could see how depressed Tilia was. Anyone would be depressed if they were being ignored by people or completely forgotten about. Luckily only five minutes passed when Siat came out with Tilia's order. Tilia forced a smile and thanked Siat, who said her meal was on the house. After filling their bellies, the three went up to their room to rest for the night. They figured they would rest tonight before leaving early in the morning after breakfast and procuring some necessities for traveling.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be movement from both the Elurean Kingdom, Yuthia Theocracy, and Yuxaris kingdom. The Botus Empire still seems to be staying quiet." A wolf man who had just come in to make a report said.

"I see… I do not expect the Empire to make any moves. They normally do not associate with that damn church. My guess is that we will only see the two kingdoms and the Theocracy at our borders in a few week's time. Any word of the three I told you about?"

"The last message was that they had stopped in at an inn and are resting for the night. Early in the day, one of the little girls destroyed a kidnapping ring that our soldiers were having a hard time apprehending. Out of all the kidnappers, we only found one woman who was knocked out down below alive." The wolf man reported.

"To think a woman was involved in the kidnapping ring too. I guess there are all kinds out there. Anyway, what is the word from Stone Hammer?"

"The king of stone hammer wishes to send aid and will help defend against the oncoming attack. They knew that if we fall, they would be next on the list. So they will be sending over three hundred thousand tropes to support us."

"That is good. Their king is smart. Let's just hope it will be enough to block the impending attack. Or our people will end up at the mercy of those foolish humans."

"We can only hope, Your Majesty. About the three girls, should we continue following them?"

"Yes, make sure no harm comes to them. I have a feeling those three will be needed in the rough times to come. Maybe I should have left them with more supplies…"
