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
Thanks to Evelyn's warning, Asmodeus had stayed away from touching her wounds, instead honestly licking at the blood that was spilling out. The cut on the back of her hand that she had made of her own accord wasn't deep, and the bleeding stopped in a moment. Evelyn lowered her eyes and looked at her hand, which was covered in wet saliva belonging to the demon. She lowered her head, revealing a slender section of white and defenseless neck.Evelyn sniffed curiously twice, then looked to Asmodeus in front of her and smiled, "What a strange smell." It doesn't stink, but it smells a little fishy. Asmodeus hung his head and stared straight at her, his eyes and expression unchanged, except that the tail wagging around behind him gradually slowed down, looking a bit sluggish. At this time, Niederhogg made a sudden move. It stretched its neck and headbutted Asmodeus, who didn't react and stumbled from the blow. Asmodeus came ba
Evelyn lowered her head and looked at the still dead, but open eyed and unable to move demon on the ground and said slowly, "Are you sure you ...... won t run now?" As her words fell, the few remaining demons fled in panic as if in a dream. Asmodeus: "......!" Asmodeus: "My wings!" A look of obvious loss crossed his face, and after a moment, Asmodeus whipped his head around, looked disgruntledly at Evelyn, and demanded in a forceful manner, "You're paying me back for one." Evelyn: "?" "But I don't have any wings to lose to you." Evelyn said in a dumbfounded tone. Asmodeus' eyes widened in disbelief, "Don't you have wings too? That can't be right, do humans not have wings?" Evelyn explained, "Humans just don't have wings." Asmodeus wasn't quite convinced, and he raised his hand to Evelyn's back, wanting to scrutinize her back for two nice bony mounds to make sure Evelyn wasn't lying to him. Ho
Shrine three years ago. "Hey! Did you guys hear that Evelyn, ah, she's actually back!" "Huh? Wasn't she taken captive by a red dragon halfway home? How ...... I've never heard of any person coming back alive after being taken captive by a dragon." "Of course Xavier got her back!" "Then Xavier wouldn't he have defeated a dragon?!" "Indeed! I heard it from Evelyn herself, and she said that Xavier challenged that red dragon to save her, and ended up defeating and slaying it - no wonder Xavier was so badly injured when he came back, and stayed unconscious for five days before coming to his senses." "Ahhhhhhhh! It's so powerful! Xavier him, he's actually stronger than a dragon!" "...... Maybe, it's the power of love?" "Hey! Don't talk nonsense.Xavier is just trying to repay Evelyn's favor.After all, it was Evelyn who she strongly advocated to bring Xavier in from the slums in the first place....... If it wasn't for
