Chapter 152 A Different Morning
"Hey, come on, put your back into it!"
"Hey, you guys over there, hurry up and help with the moving. Do you want to go hungry?"
Henry woke up to the lively noise. He lay lazily in bed, feeling no desire to move. He hadn't been able to do his morning exercises these past few days on the ship.
It was a late night yesterday. The group of orcs had been wailing, and the slave orcs over fifteen years old had been crying like aggrieved children. During the third round of wheat porridge, they even knelt before him, startling Mila and the soldiers.
"They sure have a lot of energy, starting work so early," Henry sighed as he turned over.
Henry blinked his dark eyes and looked at Mila, whose head was resting on his bed. Their eyes met.
"Henry, it's already ten in the morning," Mila said with a smile, "Everyone is up."
"Mila," Henry called softly.
"Yes?" Mila raised her head slightly and responded, "What's wrong, Henry?"
"I have a disease that I can't get up without a kiss," Henry said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Mila's cheeks turned red, and she whispered, "If I kiss you, will you be cured?"
"Yes!" Henry nodded. Teasing the cute catgirl in the morning was a good start to the day.
Mila closed her eyes, lowered her head, and her long black hair fell.
Henry smelled the faint fragrance on the catgirl; her eyelashes trembled with nervousness, and her cheeks were flushed with a blush.
He couldn't resist anymore and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.
Mila let out a shy cry, and then Henry kissed her. This was the third time they had kissed.
Mila's blue eyes widened, filled with mist. Henry was holding her chest.
Just as Henry was about to take it further...
"Mila? Mila, where are you?" Tess's voice, accompanied by approaching footsteps, was heading toward Henry's room.
"Henry, Tess is here!" Mila blushed and said softly, "Next time..."
Henry sighed helplessly and let go of the catgirl. It really wasn't the right time.
Mila, with a red face and droopy cat ears, pecked Henry's lips before getting out of bed to tidy up her clothes. Just as she was halfway through, there was a knock at the door.
"Mila, why did you take so long to wake Henry up?"
Tess's head poked in from the door, and she saw Henry sitting up. She quickly said, "Henry, quickly."
"Okay!" Henry yawned and smelled the lingering fragrance on his palm, as well as the soft and gentle touch he had just experienced, which made him slightly intoxicated.
"Mila, why is your face so red?" Tess asked in confusion, "It wasn't that red just now."
"Maybe it's too hot," Mila's cheeks turned red, her blue eyes drifting, and her tail wagging. She could still feel the lingering sensation on her chest.
"Is that so?" Tess looked at the two of them. She felt that the atmosphere was a bit different, as if she had missed something exciting.
"Of course!" Mila pushed Tess out and said softly, "Henry needs to change his clothes, let's go."
"Okay!" Tess shouted before leaving, "Lord Henry, I'm hungry."
Henry tapped his forehead helplessly. So she came to bother them just because she was hungry? He had to get up and dress himself. Willow didn't follow, leaving him to do many things on his own.
When Henry came out of the room, he saw Mila and Tess fishing. There was already a fish in the bucket.
"Lord Henry, you see, the fish Mila caught." Tess exclaimed excitedly. It was the first time she had discovered that she could catch fish like this. Mila was much smarter than her stupid older sister who could only go into the water to catch them.
"Amazing!" Henry sighed, it took him half an hour to catch a fish a few days ago, while Mila caught one in two or three minutes.
Sometimes the difference between people was so terrifying. Just then, Mila caught another trout, and she threw the fish into the bucket again, with her smiling face, which made Tess exclaim in amazement.
Henry shook his head with a smile and turned to look toward the dock, where the orcs were carrying wheat onto the ship. Their eyes were no longer numb, but filled with a little anticipation and hope.
"It seems that last night's meal made them start to believe what I said." Henry sighed.
The orcs were still too naive. They were deeply moved by a good meal.
"Is there really delicious hamburgers in Eldoria? And sweet lollipops?" Tess asked eagerly, these were all things she had heard from Mila.
"Yes! We'll be back in Eldoria the day after tomorrow, and then let Mila take you around." Henry chuckled.
He also missed Eldoria a little, the proud voice of the fox-eared girl, and the gentle voice of Willow. He hadn't heard them for two days that missed them a little.
"Great!" Tess happily ran to play with the fish in the bucket.
Perhaps her happiness was just that simple, eating her fill and having a few new things to study, she could laugh happily.
The sound of hooves came, Henry turned his head to see Leo and his three companions with eight warhorses. Of course, there was a burlap bag on the horse's back, and it was not hard to guess who was inside.
Henry gestured. After Leo saluting from a distance, they left with the horses from there to other ships, Henry temporarily had no time to deal with Omar.
"Henry, the wheat will be fully loaded in half an hour, should we set off early?" David ran over to report.
"Then let's set off early."
Henry nodded, there was nothing to linger here. He thought of the civilians, asking, "How many civilians in Hyratos are willing to go to Eldoria?"
"More than five hundred people are willing to go to Eldoria, and the others are still uncertain." David said helplessly, he thought that by saving Hyratos, there would be many people going to Eldoria.
"It's surprising that more than five hundred people are willing to go, after all, it's a matter of leaving their homes." Henry said calmly.
In fact, what he wanted was these five hundred people to do publicity. When these five hundred people had a good time in Eldoria, the movement between relatives and friends would entice the civilians of Hyratos to come to Eldoria to work.
And this time would not be long, at most one or two months, Henry's plans were all accomplished unconsciously.
