Instead of a frown that Sierra and Bebe gave, Fenris only chuckled. He even shook his head. "Kanaru, sweetie, the inner court has a lot of tasks to be covered. Also, the workload should be equal to the allocations received. If you don't want the workload, let's talk about the miscellaneous—"
Oof! Kanaru hurled a throw pillow at Fenris's face and curled down to hide his red face. Even if Sierra and the newbies were surprised, Melaka and Rosamund only giggled at the stunt. They heard and saw the things Fenris did in Kanaru's presence. Getting hit with a pillow in the face was already merciful from a strong man who could claw his way through jellyfish monsters.
"It's as His Majesty says. If you will not do the miscellaneous services, you might have to work harder than the rest." Melaka just collected the pillow and used her fingers to comb the king's disturbed fringe. "Worry not, we won't force you to work more than your body can take."
