Valkyrie Flavor Tasting Guide

This woman is someone Kiana knows, but not someone she knows well.

"Your Highness the Second Prince has this feeling? Could this gentleman be the Captain?"

Chapter 24: The Battleground Begins, Rita Comes to Steal the Man!

Rita, Huanxi Sha skin, Huang Empire form.

It was a gift from the captain's harem members who went stargazing.

Even as a freebie, her destructive power is still very unique and extremely terrifying.

Even because she had fewer scenes, she had a slight advantage over other Ritas.

"I never expected you to have transmigrated into my world, Miss Prime Minister."

Lu Mo took a deep breath.

It seems that it's not just the official characters who can travel back in time to this world.

My harem list seems to be much, much larger than I expected.

Surely they won't reverse-travel to a character who isn't in the main storyline, or even has a character model, next time.

"So it really is the Captain?"

Huanxi Sha subtly adjusted her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, revealing a confident yet reserved gaze.

Compared to Kiana, her memories of the captain are clearer, but her impression of the captain's appearance is more vague—no, to be more precise, she has a problem perceiving the captain's appearance.

She couldn't see Lu Mo's face at all, but she didn't find it strange in the slightest either.

It wasn't until she actually met Lu Mo today that she realized there had been problems with her past communication with the captain, but it didn't matter.

"How is Lord Stargazer?"

"That's wonderful, but I don't know when she'll be able to come to this world."

Stargazing right now is probably still wandering around in the quantum sea, trying to escape the pursuit of the rules.

Probably so.

Now that "Huanxi Sha" has traveled here, will there be a war in the Huang Empire?

Will the Heavenly King Fu Hua and the Pirate King Himeko take this opportunity to start a war?

Forget it, there's no use worrying about it. We're 16+, not 18+, so such a dark situation shouldn't happen.

"Is that so? In other words, my meeting with the captain was considered a secret rendezvous?"

Rita let out a seductive whisper and slowly walked towards Lu Mo, trying to seduce him.

To be honest, although Prime Minister Rita doesn't have her own customizable character like the other two Ritas, her affection for the Captain is definitely no less than that for Lost Rosemary.

After all, to her, the captain was the hero who saved her and her master.

"If I were to trouble the Captain, I fear I would be disrespecting Princess Stargazer?"

Holy crap, is this a declaration of war?

Kiana's expression also turned somewhat grim.

Although I wasn't unprepared to encounter a love rival, I didn't expect that my first real love rival, despite not being very close to me, would be so cunning.

Although his remarks may sound a bit teasy, upon closer examination they are not teasy at all, but rather more of a hint.

As long as the captain doesn't intervene, she won't let down Stargazer.

Although the advice was to warn Lu Mo not to attack her casually, if she really didn't want Lu Mo to attack, there was no need to specifically remind him.

"Don't worry, the captain doesn't have that much energy."

The captain has to go to work; where would he find the energy to deal with you after get off work?

"Oh? This familiar prince, I wonder what his relationship is with the captain?"

Prime Minister Rita immediately recognized that Kiana resembled the Second Prince she had known a thousand years ago by seventy percent, and guessed that Kiana must be Lu Mo's destined person.

"Me? I'm the captain, no, I'm Lu Mo's wife."

Using a few fancy words isn't a big problem for Kiana at this stage.

"So you're the captain's wife."

Prime Minister Rita narrowed her eyes slightly. It was clear that Lu Mo tacitly agreed with Kiana's statement, meaning that Kiana had not lied to her.

Moreover, judging from the movements of Lu Mo's fingers and the changes in Kiana's expression when she said those words, it's clear that the captain genuinely agreed with them.

Prime Minister Rita easily determined Kiana's strength level.

Never try to use any means to target her.

Lord Lu Mo was deeply in love with and had absolute trust in this girl who looked 70% like the Second Prince.

You can try to win them over, and you can directly compete for their favor, but never think about playing palace intrigue.

Otherwise, your favorability rating will drop.

How could Rita describe this feeling?

If the captain were to become a queen and establish a harem, then this Kiana would probably be able to sit firmly on the throne even without beauty or power.

If the captain is a tyrant, then anyone who dares to fight her in the palace will likely face the fate of having their entire family wiped out.

That's truly a formidable opponent.

Although she didn't mean anything by it, Rita got excited when she thought about it!

The above view on Kiana is just a simple analysis. If Rita, as the prime minister, really wanted to play "palace intrigue," she wouldn't need to resort to any underhanded methods.

Moreover, as the wise prime minister of the Huang Empire for a thousand years, Rita completely disdains underhanded methods.

Competing for favor with someone like Kiana is truly challenging.

Rita never had any intention of taking down Kiana from the beginning.

All she had to do was "win the captain's favor".

Yes, pampering.

From the very beginning, Prime Minister Rita was certain that Lu Mo was the kind of person who would have multiple relationships at once.

This is inevitable, because what determines this is not personality, but destiny.

So what you need to fight for in Lu Mo's harem is very simple: Lu Mo's attention!

It's not about taking Lu Mo away from someone, but about getting as much time as possible to spend with him.

The key to "palace intrigue"!

Feelings can't be forced, and similarly, Lu Mo can't be forced to spend more time with whomever he wants.

"I understand. In that case, you will be Rita's temporary mistress during this period!"

???

Lu Mo was somewhat surprised.

This Rita is different from the other two Ritas; she should be completely unrelated to the idea of ​​being a "maid."

And yet, at this moment, he actually behaved with such humility.

Horror!

Lu Mo, who could more or less guess Rita's thoughts, gasped.

This is a classic case of "you can't hit someone who's smiling at you"! It directly acknowledges Kiana's superior position and lowers one's own "requirements".

Although Rita didn't say it explicitly, it's clear that Rita initially aimed for a position on par with Kiana.

But this time, they took a step back to advance, positioning themselves as the captain's "servant".

Kiana couldn't even find a reason to object to Rita's decision.

"Ah? Oh, I see...."

"Then let's get along well... Miss Rita." Kiana also extended a friendly gesture to Rita.

Although she didn't know what Rita was thinking, Kiana had plenty of experience with beings like "Rita".

This is definitely a tough opponent!

Apart from Himeko-sensei, the members of the "Touka" generation are all troublesome.

Chapter 25 Rita: Teasing the Captain in Front of Kiana

"Well then, dinner is ready. Lady Kiana, and Lord Lu Mo, would you like to sample my cooking?"

Prime Minister Rita's wine-red eyes sparkled as she took a light step, revealing a subtle yet confident smile to Kiana and Lu Mo.

"gollum"

It was clear that the Prime Minister of the Huang Empire was going to personally take charge of cooking.

As one of Lu Mo's concubines, Prime Minister Rita unhesitatingly took it upon herself to take care of Lu Mo.

Kiana's culinary skills are clearly no match for Prime Minister Rita's in this arena.

Rita's hair ornament swayed slightly, and as Tan spoke, the celadon covered bowl steamed with white mist. With her delicate hand, she lifted the gold-embroidered food cover, her eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a touch of understated elegance: "This simple meal is just to express my feelings, please."

She's completely different from the Rita I know; she's an absolute beauty with a Chinese flair!

Kiana could easily imagine how fiercely the two Ritas would clash if they met up there!

No one can submit to anyone else.

Rather than going up against her yourself, it's better to let the two Ritas fight each other.

The moment the porcelain plate was lifted, Lu Mo smelled the fresh scent of the mountains and forests after the rain. Emerald-colored shepherd's purse flakes dotted the white tofu soup, shrimp curled into pale pink crescents floating on the surface, and most wonderfully, the toon leaves sprinkled in the center, deep purple tender buds coated in golden egg liquid, like flower buds just beginning to bloom on branches in spring.

"Sniff, sniff, sniff"

As expected of a professional, their cooking skills are far superior to mine!

For a moment, Lu Mo had the illusion that he had been optimized out of the established team!

Your team is now fully formed, it's time to kick the Harmonious One out of the team!

There's no place for me in this house anymore!

Lin Bei is the eldest; how could they possibly manage this family without me?!

"Please use it, or does Lord Lu Mo wish for me to feed you?"

"Or perhaps, Lord Lu Mo, you require me to feed you?" Rita smiled charmingly, her delicate hand gently holding a gilded soup bowl, the rising steam blurring the corners of her phoenix eyes. The golden bells on her body jingled as she sat down on Lu Mo's lap.

Lu Mo's hand holding the soup spoon tightened suddenly, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed the refusal that was about to come out. Rita brought the warm bone broth to his lips, "I think Lord Lu Mo must be busy with paperwork during the day, which must be quite tiring. You should have something warm to comfort your stomach."

Rita placed the silver spoon between his teeth, her fingertips lingering deliberately as they brushed against the corner of his lips. The thick soup made from bone marrow, coated with mashed yam, slid down his throat. Lu Mo tasted the spiciness of the ginger slices mixed with the smoothness of the barley. The most wonderful thing was the crunchy bone bits hidden in the soup, which made a "crunch" sound when bitten, like biting into shattered icicles in winter.

Rita traced circles on the back of his neck with her fingertips, while her other hand supported the back of his head, tilting him back slightly. As the warm soup slid down his throat into his stomach, Lu Mo suddenly noticed that the gilded nail guards on her wrists had somehow come off, and her nails, shaped like rounded almonds, were gently scratching the stray hairs on the back of his neck.

"Hey, isn't this your love rival?"

Young Kiana picked at the lotus root sandwiches that Rita had brought out, enjoying their crispy texture.

"probably."

"you do not mind?"

"That's what happens when someone can cook."

Kiana felt obligated to eat something in this situation, as she believed that one was obliged to do so.

Rita's cooking skills are absolutely top-notch!

Moreover, Rita's cooking skills are indeed quite good.

Young Kiana, on the other hand, instinctively felt a sense of crisis from Prime Minister Rita—this woman gave her the feeling of a customized female psychopath.

It's dangerous to be around her!

Lu Mo gasped for breath, but she silenced him with a spoon. This time, she scooped up bone marrow, its translucent, gelatinous texture gleaming amber in the candlelight. As the marrow melted on his tongue, Lu Mo shuddered—it was the rich, mellow flavor of years of stewing, a mixture of sweetness and bitterness, as if an entire medicinal garden had been boiled into the soup.

Rita chuckled softly, then suddenly wiped the soup from his lips with her thumb. Lu Mo reflexively took the warm liquid into his mouth, tasting the intertwined flavors of themselves and her. The jade bracelet on her wrist slipped off the edge of the soup bowl, its tinkling sound carrying a trembling sensuality.

"Hehe, Captain, that's not very elegant of you to eat like that!"

Before you accuse me of being uncivilized, perhaps you should first take a look at your own posture.
