The two powerful, terrifying demons were like wild beasts that were about to hug each other and tear each other apart, their gazes confronting each other and their breaths entwining, and for a time, their terrifying auras and pressures forced the entire frail and old castle to become even more shaky.
In such a tense moment where no one dared to relax easily, neither the Demon Archduke nor the Demon King's eldest son noticed the movement of the only living human beside them.
Of course, the very self-aware Evelyn was unlikely to do anything that would draw too much attention from the demon.
She just gingerly picked up her cushion and dusted the dust and gravel off of it, then carefully backed into a corner and finally sat down quietly - she didn't want to be caught in the middle of a battle between two demons, and a little bit of shelter was a little bit of shelter.
She sat on a cushion stained with a bit of fine gray, her back against the crumbli
Evelyn agreed quickly, without half a second's hesitation, and with a cheerful expression on her face, as if she wasn't dealing with a blood-bathed demon, but an elementary school teacher who had asked her if she wanted to go on a spring trip together. Of course, there was no reluctance in Evelyn's mind - she'd found the trick with demons, which was not to say no and to be as submissive as possible. That could be really easy for Evelyn. Having gotten the answer he wanted, Agarez, as if he had lost interest in her, quickly averted his gaze from Evelyn's face, as if he intended to ignore her - just as he thought in his own mind that he wouldn't have even looked at Evelyn if she hadn't had a special relationship with the most powerful demon of them all! . He stood up. By now, the skin on his face had been repaired, the damaged flesh tissue reappearing smooth and fitting over the near-perfect bones of his face, the regenerated skin free of any lingering bloo
Agarez reacted immediately. He flipped his wrist, and the crescent-shaped blade instantly changed direction, the sharp tip aimed straight at Baymont - a belligerent demon who, Evelyn thought, would have leapt at the chance to fight even without his own provocative words. Baymont, unmoved by this, glanced at Evelyn with slight amusement. Evelyn reached out her hand and carefully gripped the hilt of the scythe at her side, softly soothing him, "Um ...... sorry, I was just kidding, please don't take it seriously." Agarez wasn't supposed to care what she said. Taking whoever he wanted to take, fighting whoever he wanted to fight, and surely stepping over the bodies of whoever he wanted dead, Agarez was born to ignore the words of others, to see them as meaningless noise - but this time he actually stopped moving. Evelyn gripped the hilt of his blade, attempting to stop him with a tiny to negligible amount of force. The demons who had attempted to stop Agarez were all dead -
Baymont ponders this while acquiescing to Evelyn's over-reliance on his behavior. Yet Evelyn nestled quietly in his arms, without a trace of fear on her beautiful white face. If Baymont had been able to watch her expression and look into her eyes, he would have recognized at once that the tenderness, the closeness, and the dependence she showed were all lies with ulterior motives. Evelyn thought calmly that her guess was right, Baymont could indeed find her by the mark on her. If Baymont could do it, then Irzey's other sons should be able to as well. If that was the case, escaping would be a pointless endeavor. Because she would be found on the trail anytime, anywhere. ...... And, Baymont has grown to care for her. Evelyn hadn't been so sure before-after all, Baymont had always been aloof, as if indifferent to whatever was going on-but now she had finally come to a judgment. what Baymont had shown, what he had defended to her, had gone beyond the bounds of duty. And he's
Baymont guessed so. When he came back to his senses, he realized that the stone he had squeezed in his hand was emitting a miserable wail, with several more ugly cracks in it, almost on the verge of becoming shattered. Baymont stared at the stone that had never resounded with a woman's voice, and made a silent mental judgment: perhaps, he was hoping to be desired by Evelyn. But what is it because of? Baymont was suddenly caught in a mist like no other, and Evelyn's face and figure were hidden behind it ...... or she was the mist itself. It was at this point that Vanessa approached him with a look of lust. "The Queen she ...... has been a little strange lately," Vanessa said, "refusing to eat or talk. I don't know why humans are like this ...... Do you know why, Lord Baymont?" Before Baymont could think briefly, he made the instinctive reply, "I'll check it out." ...... Baymont pushed open the door of the tightly closed room and stepped inside. He'd just taken a st
Evelyn has always believed that physical contact leads to closer proximity. And indeed it did. After that hug and snuggle, Evelyn had a vague sense of a more subtle change in Baymont's attitude toward her. The two of them don't spend much, if any, time together; Evelyn has always been alone in her room, protected by layers of attendants as an important legacy, while Baymont is busy working, preparing for the next succession ceremony, where the consul must be responsible for inviting the twelve demon archdukes who are at odds with the Demon King-although five of them have already been killed by Agarez. -even though these twelve demon archdukes have been slain by Agarez to the point where only five remain. They would meet only occasionally, in empty corridors, or at the corners of silent staircases.Baymont was always alone, and Evelyn tended to be followed by Vanessa or some other demonic squire.Evelyn would smile gently at him, as she had before, and Baym
As for why it would be a red dragon's milk teeth? Virtually every dragon possesses a great deal of treasure, and the Red Dragon is no exception; when Evelyn was first captured in the Red Dragon's cave, it was common to see the Red Dragon sleeping on a pile of gold, or rolling around on it while scattering gold coins. But then all the treasure was given away to him. Because the Red Dragon insisted on the principle of equal exchange. When he took Evelyn captive, he threw a gold coin to the ground, and in his opinion, one gold coin was all that Evelyn was worth; later, he threw all the treasures he had hoarded to the earl's mansion in the imperial capital, in an attempt to exchange her from the hands of Evelyn's family. Having lost his treasure, the red dragon could only give her his own milk teeth. It represented all the times he had been born until now. ...... Baymont moved his lips. If Evelyn could lift his black hood at that m
Evelyn had a dream. She was back in the year she turned sixteen, in that dim, dank cave, with broken cliffs thousands of meters high outside, trapped like a caged bird. The cave was originally full of golden treasures, and the magnificent light that flowed from the gold and crystals decorated the whole gloomy cave with incomparable luxury. But all those precious treasures were sent away, and so the cave, which relied on gold as its decoration, was instantly knocked back to its original form, becoming quiet and terrible. Evelyn stood still, her eyes dropping as she realized that a hand covered in bloodstains and cuts was gripped tightly around her ankle, the knuckles flexing hard as they glowed with a feeble, ghastly whiteness. She was barefoot and saw a large pool of blood spreading from behind her, creating a shallow, scarlet puddle. The blood soaked up her small, white feet, quickly covering the thin palms, then sprea
Niederhogg raised his eyes and didn't bother. Niederhogg ignored him lovingly, and the red-haired demon didn't show the slightest bit of displeasure as he circled Evelyn again, suddenly coming up to Evelyn's neck and sniffing it. He furrowed his brow and said, "And there's a strange smell about you that strikes me as somewhat familiar, but I can't remember ......" Evelyn: "......" Evelyn probably knew what he meant, and he guessed that like Agarez, he smelled Irzey, his father, on her. "My name is Evelyn and I came here a while ago." Evelyn made a noise, a well-timed interruption, or she figured the demon in front of her would probably talk to himself and keep chanting. Evelyn had a sneaking suspicion, but she asked softly, "What about you?" "Don't even recognize me, you're really new here," said the red-haired demon, "I'm Asmodeus.Asmodeus, Asmodeus is a name you should have heard before, right?" Eve
