"Lord Sora, Sheele, this is my mother's best sweet soup, please try it!"
"Miss Chelsea and Miss Leone too, this is definitely not to be missed!"
After finishing the meal together, Aria and her mother walked in with a container full of sweet soup, calling out with smiling faces.
These things are usually done by servants, but perhaps to show respect for Sora and the others, the mother and daughter are doing it themselves this time.
"Hahaha, General Sora, Aria is right. This is my wife's specialty. General, you must try it!"
Count Ain also stood up to greet them, obviously very satisfied with the performance of his wife and daughter.
"Hehehe, since it's a token of appreciation from Madam and Miss Aria, then we won't be polite."
"Leone, Chelsea, come and have a taste too."
Sora smiled and nodded to Aria and her mother, then called out to Leone and Chelsea, who had somehow run off to play chess.
"Is there sweet soup? Great, great, I want to try it too."
Chelsea wasn't polite at all. The sweet-toothed girl jumped over as soon as she heard there was sweet soup to drink. Leone, though a little reluctant, followed along.
"Everyone, enjoy it while it's hot, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Aria filled a small bowl for each of them and kindly reminded them.
Looking at the sweet soup in the small bowls, Sora, Leone, and Chelsea all had a glint in their eyes, but they didn't say anything and drank it naturally. The dazed Sheele didn't usually like sweets, but seeing Sora and Leone drinking it, she also took a few sips.
"Father, please have some too."
Aria handed a bowl to the middle-aged man with a concerned expression.
"I don't need any, do I?"
The middle-aged man wanted to refuse. Although he had told Sora how good his wife's cooking was, he was already tired of it himself.
"Don't be like that, Father. This is what Mother and I worked so hard to make. Just try it, please!"
Seeing that the middle-aged man wanted to refuse, a strange look flashed across Aria's face, but she quickly recovered and grabbed one of the man's arms, constantly acting spoiled.
"My lord, please have some too. I didn't add much sugar this time, so it won't be too sweet."
A hint of nervousness also flashed in her eyes, and Aria's mother quickly came over to persuade him.
"Uh, okay, I'll just have a little."
Feeling that his daughter and wife seemed a little too enthusiastic today, the middle-aged man didn't think too much about it, assuming they were just trying to make a good impression on General Sora. In a good mood, he also took a couple of sips.
Seeing that the middle-aged man, Sora, and the girls had all drunk the sweet soup, Aria and her mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief, exchanging glances and seeing the slight upturn of each other's lips.
"Oh my, why do I suddenly feel so sleepy…"
"Me too, I want to sleep…"
Leone and Chelsea, who were drinking the sweet soup, didn't know what was happening. The bowls in their hands fell to the ground, their bodies swayed, and then they fell to the ground unconscious.
"This soup!!!"
Sora, who was also sitting on the sofa with Sheele and enjoying the sweet soup, suddenly stood up, seemingly having discovered something, with an angry expression. But before he could do anything, he also collapsed.
"Ugh… Lord Sora, Leone, Chelsea, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Umm…"
Seeing that Sora and the three girls had suddenly fainted, even the dazed Sheele became anxious. But before she could do anything, she immediately felt her acupoints being pressed from behind, and her little head tilted back as she also fainted.
"General Sora, what's wrong? General Sora!"
Seeing that Sora and the three girls had suddenly fainted, the middle-aged man, who was being fed sweet soup by Aria, was shocked. If this great general had an accident here, the consequences…
"Hehehe, Father, I think you'd better worry about yourself right now."
No longer with her previous well-behaved and cute appearance, Aria threw away the porcelain bowl in her hand and stood in front of the middle-aged man with a charming smile.
"Aria, could it be that you, you…"
Suddenly feeling a bit dizzy himself, and looking at his wife and daughter standing in front of him, the man seemed to realize something, with a look of horror.
Bang!!!
The drug took effect, and he couldn't hold on any longer. The man also fainted.
"Aria, did we go too far this time? That General Sora's identity…"
Seeing that everyone had fainted, the older woman walked up to Aria with a nervous and hesitant expression.
"Hehe, Mother, when did your courage become so small?"
"Besides, now that we've already done it, do you think you have any chance to regret it!"
No longer with the appearance of an elegant young lady, Aria said to the woman with a cold smile.
"Uh… Hehehe, good daughter, you're right. Anyway, it's not like we've only done this once or twice! I would regret it for the rest of my life if I missed such an excellent test subject."
Her expression froze, followed by a cruel smile. The woman's appearance was also completely different from her previous gentle and virtuous noblewoman image.
"Good daughter, what about your father? If we lose his position, we'll have a lot of trouble in the future."
Looking at the middle-aged man who had also fainted on the ground, the woman frowned and asked Aria, thinking of something.
Although the two were husband and wife in name, there was no sign of the care that should exist between husband and wife on the woman's face, but rather an indifferent look.
"Don't worry, Mother. You know Father's nature. As long as we follow the plan we discussed earlier, we can definitely handle him."
With a disgusted expression, the girl stomped on the man's fat belly with her small boots as she spoke.
If there were outsiders present at this time, they would definitely be stunned by the scene. This mother and daughter, they both seemed a little abnormal!
"Well, since you're so confident, Aria, then I'm relieved."
The woman nodded, looking at Leone lying on the ground with some regret.
"According to the previous agreement, these two girls belong to me."
Dragging Sheele off the sofa and placing her next to Chelsea, the woman looked at the two girls as if they were some kind of precious treasure.
Yes, precious treasures, but not human!
"Hehehe, Mother, these women are all high-quality goods, not comparable to those cheap country bumpkins. You have to be careful, don't break them after a few uses."
Looking at the two girls' beautiful faces and almost perfect figures, Aria's eyes flashed with intense jealousy. But when she thought about what would happen to them soon in her mother's hands, the girl's mood became cheerful again.
"As for me, it's enough to have him…"
Walking to the sofa, Aria cupped Sora's cheeks in her hands, with a fiery look on her face…
