I, Altria, only want to rule China.

Ayaka smelled the scent in the air and suddenly felt a little hungry, but she had not finished her morning homework yet... Ayaka headed towards the garden.

There are lush green trees, flowers, and dozens of unknown plants here, which makes it look like spring has arrived. There are also countless pigeons cooing everywhere, which are the culprits that wake you up in the morning.

After seeing Ayaka's figure, several cooing pigeons flew straight over and gathered at her feet, as if waiting for her to feed them.

"It's great that you can be so carefree." Ayaka grabbed a handful of rice and scattered it directly on the ground. Countless pigeons immediately started to scramble for food on the ground.

After watching the pigeons eat for a long time, Ayaka grabbed a pigeon, pressed the pigeon on the mat with one hand, and then grabbed a kitchen knife from the mat.

"Coo-coo-coo-coo!"

As if sensing its fate, the pigeon pressed on the pad let out a shrill cry, while the remaining pigeons looked at their companions indifferently, perhaps they had no idea what was going to happen next.

"What should I do..." Ayaka wavered as she held the kitchen knife. Usually, her father would do this for her, but today her father seemed to be in the kitchen, so she had to do it herself. However...

"Don't talk to pigeons. I've told you before, Ayaka." A familiar voice sounded behind me.

Ayaka immediately turned towards the direction of the voice. Next to the glass door at the entrance to the garden, her father's figure, who seemed a little tall to her, was there.

"Eh? Father, aren't you in the kitchen..."

"Don't make any noise to the sacrifice, and don't talk. We must not have any feelings for the sacrifice. Feelings will lead to hesitation, and then make the magician confused. Haven't I told you this many times?"

"Yes..." Ayaka lowered her head with a lost tone. It was because she had been told it so many times that she remembered it, but she still couldn't change this habit.

"Pigeons can't and won't talk to humans. Humans don't normally develop feelings for them, but you're young, so it's easy for you to have wild thoughts."

"Hmm..." Ayaka continued to reply in a low voice with her head down.

"This is for your own good Ayaka."

Looking at his daughter's expression, Sajo Hiroki sighed inwardly. Their family's black magic practice method involves blood, so sacrifices are essential.

These pigeons were prepared by Hiroki Sajo for Ayaka and Aika, but his youngest daughter was too kind-hearted.

"I'll try my best, for the sacrifice..."

She murmured softly, unable to raise her head. In front of her eyes, she saw a white dove pecking at the front of her shoe.

Chapter 263: Beautiful Sister

"You don't need to practice here today. Just go to the restaurant."

"--Ah? Doesn't her father never let her leave the garden before dinner time every morning? She practices until dinner time." Ayaka looked up at Sajo Hiroki in confusion.

"Aigeta needs to make breakfast. Sorry, you go and keep her company. I'm sorry, but compared to me, you should be more suitable." Hiroki Sajyo explained.

"So it was my sister who was cooking this morning." Ayaka couldn't help but tilt her head.

Father, sister, and Ayaka always spend breakfast together, so it's not unusual for sister to be in the restaurant, but it's too early now, probably just past half past six.

“Because Aige said she wanted to cook.

"Cooking? Is that what my sister said?" Ayaka was a little surprised.

"Yes."

"Is that so?" Ayaka nodded honestly and walked towards the restaurant.

The closer I got to the restaurant, the more I could smell the aroma of the food, but I was stunned after turning a corner.

The initial morning sun shone softly into the corridor. A young girl knelt there very naturally, as if she had merged with the air. She kept a straight and dignified posture without any sign of wavering.

The girl was only wearing a white dress, a blue skirt, and simple black stockings. She was just sitting there, but she made people feel sacred.

Just looking at the girl made Sajo Ayaka forget the cold winter air.

Leah had already sensed the other person in the mansion last night, but she didn't expect to meet him so soon.

Opening her tightly closed eyes, Leah turned to look at the girl in the aisle. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she gave the girl a dazzling smile.

"You are Ayaka, right?"

"Ah-ah, yes, um, hello, my name is Sajo Ayaka." Awakened by Leah's words, Ayaka answered Leah with a blushing face.

But how did the other person know my name? Did my father tell me? Or my sister? But I was actually bewitched by her just now. So, so embarrassing.

"Your face is a little red, and you don't seem to be in good spirits. Are you sick? Speaking of which, the weather is a little cold this morning."

Leah stood up from the ground, leaned towards Ayaka, stretched out a hand and gently pressed it on Sajo Ayaka's forehead. The blush on Ayaka's face suddenly spread to her white neck, her eyes were spinning in circles, and there was a faint steam coming out from the top of her head.

"No, no, I'm in very good health, very good..."

Frightened by Leah's action, Ayaka quickly took a few steps back from the beautiful girl who was so close to her, keeping a distance from Leah, in order to let her beating heart cool down first.

"Oh, if you're here to look for Aige, she's in the kitchen." Sensing Ayaka's resistance to her, Leah stopped approaching her and pointed to the kitchen.

"Thank you... I'm here to help my sister. Um... I'll leave first." After saying that, Ayaka hurriedly walked past Leah.

"Am I hated?"

Ayaka looked like a little white rabbit encountering a lion at this moment.

The rapid passing of Ayaka made Leah a little confused. It seemed that this was the first time they met each other. Besides, I have learned well to show my best smile to others.

Unable to figure it out, Leah felt helpless and sat back in her original position, continuing to kneel in the same position as before.

"Hey, Ayaka, why are you here?" Aige, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, suddenly found her sister walking in.

"Well, I'm here to help my sister." Ayaka looked at her sister embarrassedly.

My sister looks beautiful, smart, and knows everything. Compared with my dazzling sister, I am like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

"I see. Then Ayaka, can you help me get the plate? And the buns?"

Ayaka looked at her sister's back enviously while she was working. Suddenly, her sister turned around and called out to her. Then she remembered that she was here to help, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, sister."

When Aige handed her everything she needed one by one, Ayaka finally stopped thinking about it.

It was only after busying around in the kitchen for a while that Ayaka felt strange. Wasn't this a bit too much?

Then come and see the dishes my sister has prepared.

There were bacon and eggs, dumplings, buns, milk, noodles, fish and chips, cheese and ham, porridge and scones, black tea, and then desserts with sliced ​​peaches and plums. There was so much that we could hardly finish it!

It's not over yet, my sister is still doing it and she doesn't seem to intend to stop. Even if it's for inviting guests, it's a little too much.

"What's wrong, Ayaka? Why are you standing there motionless?"

"Oh, sorry, sister. I was just thinking about something and came here right away!" Since my sister didn't feel anything wrong and looked very happy, there should be no problem, right?

"I don't know if these foods will suit Leah's taste. After making so much, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Listening to her sister's mumbling and the happy smile on her face, Ayaka realized that the girl just now was the guest her sister was going to entertain.

I just don't know when I met my elder sister, but I could actually make her smile so beautifully. To be honest, it's been a long time since Ayaka has seen her elder sister smile so happily.

The two of them were busy in the kitchen for a while, and when they had almost cleared out all the food reserves in the house, Ai Ge finally stopped.

"Thank you so much Ayaka, but you seem to be in a daze from time to time."

"That...sister, that beautiful sister outside the aisle...is she someone you know?"

While helping Aige make breakfast, Ayaka's mind would flash back to that white figure from time to time. Finally, she couldn't help but ask her sister

"Of course I know her~" When she mentioned the person outside, Ai Ge's face flushed, and she said softly, "Liya will be the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life."

"Lailiya, please have some." The morning sunlight shone through the window. In a room with only two people, on a dining table with many dishes, a girl extended an invitation to another girl.

Danqian has transparent pupils, and the emerald dress sets off her perfectly. Her face is like a blooming flower as she looks at another girl with a dignified posture.

"Thank you, Aige." Liya sat down at Aige's invitation.

"Wow~" After seeing the table full of food, Liya couldn't help but exclaimed softly. She didn't expect breakfast to be so sumptuous. Is this the life of rich people?

No, this should be corruption!

Chapter 264: Liya: I’m not a foodie!

When she was the empress, she only had four dishes and one soup. Although she was not short of money, she would not prepare such a large table. If she could not finish the food, wouldn't it be a waste?

Of course, the one who couldn’t finish the meal was referring to others. Leah could definitely finish it.

But why were there only the two of them at the table? Aren’t Aige’s sister and father coming together? Liya waited for a while but didn’t see Aige’s family coming.

Liya looked at Aige with some confusion: "Aige, aren't your sister and father coming to eat together?"

"They have already had their meal in another room, and then... uh... it seems that they made too much. Because I don't know what you like, the dishes may be too much..."

Even Ai Ge, seeing the mountain of food on the table in front of her...she woke up from her love affair.

Egg dishes. Bacon and eggs, scrambled eggs, and boiled eggs are about six servings. In addition, the boiled eggs are served with toast, which is also six servings.

The salad, which looks beautiful with a green base, is also a serving of about six people.

Meat dish. White sausage fried with plump mushrooms, also for 6 people.

There are also a variety of dishes, all of which are at least six servings!

Aige lowered her head in embarrassment, and her voice gradually became smaller unconsciously: "Don't force yourself, Liya, just choose what you like to eat..."

"Don't worry, I will finish it with gratitude. As for these... I think it should be no problem." Leah picked up a pair of chopsticks that had been prepared long ago from the dining table and picked up the dish closest to her.

"Don't force yourself! Just eat what you like, Leah..."

"I'm not forcing you. Since you said you'd finish all of this, you're definitely going to finish it. This is a promise worth a thousand gold."

After putting the food into her mouth and chewing it for a few times, Leah picked up a small bowl from the dining table and handed it to Aige, looking at her with a smile.

"Liya..." The girl looked at Liya with joy.

"I'll leave the soup to you, Aika."

After all, she is the dragon's stomach, so this is really nothing to Leah.

"......Hi!"

There was no fakeness in Leah's expression; it was a smile that came from the heart. Even if Ai Ge really couldn't finish the meal, he wouldn't blame her. He hurriedly scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to Leah.

"Thank you." After taking a sip, Leah picked up some dishes. She ate very quickly yet elegantly.

A short while passed in Ai Ge's sight, and half of the food on the table had disappeared, but her pace did not slow down at all.

Ai Ge's expression changed from disappointment at the beginning to surprise. Liya really finished the dish she made. This was a recognition of her!

“It’s delicious.”

Leah would say this every time she tasted a dish, and in fact it was indeed very delicious.

Listening to Liya's praise, Aige's expression became more and more cheerful, and a smile appeared naturally at the corner of her mouth.

"I'm very confident about the yogurt with fried fish. Even Ayaka, who really doesn't like oil, said it was delicious. If it's this, it must be very delicious."

"Well, the food is really delicious." Leah also praised from the bottom of her heart.

"Haha, I'm so glad that my taste matches yours." The girl narrowed her eyes with joy from the bottom of her heart.

"For today's breakfast, I tried to make a modern one. No, to be more precise, the breakfast of your time. As expected, the taste is closer to the taste of Liya's hometown."

"Ahh, either one is delicious."

In fact, to be honest, Leah doesn’t care whether it is the breakfast of that era, as long as it tastes good. The girl’s feelings are fully conveyed, so that is enough.

"Really?" Aige asked in surprise.

"Ah——!" Leah started to eat the food on the table with big mouthfuls. I think the other party would believe it.

Liya's action made Aige's hair shake with joy. She tilted her head and looked at Liya with a smile: "That's great, Liya!"

Both she and Leah were enjoying this quiet moment.

After breakfast, Aige looked at Liya calmly. "Hey, Liya."

"What's wrong?" Leah looked at the girl.

"I understood something this morning. No, I must have known it from the beginning. To put it simply, it's the same as cooking." Hmm, the girl reflected on it in her mind and nodded in confirmation.

"What did you understand?" Leah tilted her head, looking curious.

"What to do next in the Holy Grail War~ If the steps are very troublesome, just use your brain to think of ways to skip the troublesome steps."

She raised her index finger, and she looked like a young child who had thought of something, very cute.

"Hmm?" Leah tilted her head.
