"Madam, these shoes of yours were personally made by Lord Loya, who measured your feet and used wood from the Adam Tree and the hide of a rare deer, working through the night to complete them."

"They fit your feet perfectly!"

The maid smiled and began to explain the origin of the shoes Gion was wearing.

Upon hearing this, Gion covered her mouth in astonishment.

"Did he make it for me by hand? He can make shoes too?"

Gion asked, her beautiful eyes blinking.

"Yes, Lord Loya is truly multi-talented!"

"By the way, Madam, are you hungry? Lord Loya has prepared a meal, and some of the dishes were even cooked by him personally."

"To put it bluntly, Madam, Lord Loya's culinary skills are unparalleled! After tasting his cooking, you'll probably find other people's food less appealing!"

The maid smiled and said again.

Gion opened her mouth in surprise again, "Is it really that delicious? How can he cook everything?!"

At this point, Gion did indeed feel a bit hungry.

She glanced back at Loya, only to see that he still seemed to have heard and seen nothing.

Gion blushed.

"Well, I am a little hungry. Can you take me to a restaurant?"

Gion, shameless yet somewhat shy, said...

"Shall we go to the restaurant?" The maid paused for a moment, then said, "Actually, Madam, you can eat wherever you like. We'll bring the table over. It doesn't have to be the restaurant."

After a pause, the maid said, "Besides, Lord Loya hasn't had lunch yet. How about I have someone bring a table here so you can dine with him?"

"Oh... that's fine then, let's do it your way."

Gion blushed and, seizing the opportunity, said...

Chapter 111 Willing to Be Your Wife

Gion was at a table ten meters away from Loya.

They slowly enjoyed their sumptuous lunch.

The maid stood by, constantly busy pouring her a drink, or doing small tasks like peeling open the shells of lobsters and crabs, or cutting a piece of meat.

"You don't need to do anything, why don't you go and have some food, or take a rest?"

Gion said to the maid, somewhat embarrassed.

"It's alright, Madam, it's all I should do. I've already eaten."

"Lord Loya bought me from the slave auction and removed my slave status, but I have nothing to repay her with. I am so happy to be transferred to serve the lady!"

The maid said with a smile.

"Oh...is Loya a good person?"

Gion glanced at Loya, who seemed to be asleep on the recliner.

"Of course!" the maid said with certainty.

"Oh……"

Gion's eyes flickered.

More than an hour later.

Gion is full.

But it felt like my feet had taken root.

Sitting at the table, gazing at the sea, I was lost in thought, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Loya seemed to finally wake up.

He stretched from the recliner, removed the towel covering his face, stood up, and walked towards the dining table.

“Lo, Loya…”

Gion looked at him weakly and called out softly.

"Huh? Why haven't you left yet?"

Loya glanced at Gion with feigned surprise, then pulled out a chair, sat down, and began to eat slowly.

Do you really want to get rid of me?

Gion lowered her head and asked in a low voice, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

"Remember to take off your shoes before you leave! I made those for my wife, Momousagi, not for Vice Admiral Gion of the Navy."

Loya didn't look up, and spoke casually as he ate.

Upon hearing this, Gion bit her lip and actually started taking off her shoes.

However, her eyes reddened.

Gion stood up, picked up her sword, Kinpira, and looked at Loya: "Should I take off this dress too?"

"What will you wear if you take it off? Are you stupid?"

Loya looked up at her and said irritably.

"As for the clothes I was wearing before, I can wear my old clothes."

Gion said, her eyes red.

"The maid must have cleaned it up."

Loya said.

"Then I'll go ask her."

Gion walked away barefoot.

The maid is preparing afternoon tea in the kitchen.

Seeing Lady Momousagi walk barefoot into the kitchen, the maid was very surprised: "Madam, why are you barefoot again? Don't you like the shoes Lord Loya made for you?"

Upon hearing this, Gion's eyes reddened again, and tears streamed down her face.

"Madam, why are you crying?" The maid quickly put down her work and stepped forward to support Gion's arm.

“He made me take it off…” Gion’s eyes flickered, and she wiped away her tears as she spoke.

"How could that be? Lord Loya adores you. He knows you love Yatsuhashi sweets, so he made a lot of them and stocked up. I was just about to prepare afternoon tea and bring them over to you~"

The maid quickly offered words of comfort.

Gion recalled that there were also many Yatsuhashi sweets on the table in the glass sunroom.

So these desserts were all made especially for her by Loya!

Gion's mood immediately improved.

She wiped away her tears and stopped crying.

How did he know I like Yatsuhashi sweets?

She muttered to herself softly.

Upon hearing this, the maid said, "Lord Loya has a dedicated intelligence-gathering network. Perhaps he deliberately collected information about your preferences, Madam."

After a pause, the maid continued to comfort her, "Lord Loya really likes you. Perhaps there's some misunderstanding between you? Madam, why don't you... have a good talk with him?"

"Um... thank you, I'll go talk to him."

Gion looked at the maid with embarrassment and gratitude before turning and leaving the kitchen.

Gion slowly walked back to the dining table on the deck, staring blankly at Loya.

Along the way, she thought of many ways to say it, but when she actually stood in front of Loya, she didn't know what to say.

But before she could speak.

Luo Ya said first, "It's not that I want to get rid of you, it's that you don't want to be my wife, so I can only set you free."

"You're a grown adult, do you think I'd lock you in a cage?"

“I…” Gion lowered her head, looking at her toes, and stammered, “I… I didn’t not want to be… your wife…”

"It's just too fast! I'm not mentally prepared!"

Gion blushed and looked at Loya.

Loya chuckled inwardly.

His tactic of feigning retreat to advance and then letting go to lure the enemy seems to be quite effective.

However, thanks to the maid's quick thinking, Gion's emotions were calmed down.

This maid deserves a proper reward!

He provided so many assists!
