“No reason. It’s just that you guys seem to be having some issues and don’t seem like you’ll be able to say anything for a while, so I decided to take a more comfortable position to watch your little performance.”
That declaration utterly silenced the scene.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Jacinta, Jace, and Leice’s mouths were twitching in silence.
“…”
Airi’s own eyes were twitching. She seriously got the urge to slap Shien to death now.
The four demons simply looked a the only human among them with a fantastic look.
Jacinta’s party of three especially. They were looking at Shien like they were seeing a Hero.
Both their expressions and gaze were blatantly saying one thing.
“You just did something completely amazing, don’t you know?”
Truth be told, Shien really did know.
Given how terrifying the true status of the loli in his arms was, how could Shien not have known just how amazing his current actions are?
But if it wasn’t so amazing, then Shien might not have even bothered doing it.
Besides, so what if he did it? What are they going to do about it?
That was what Shien, who was just reminiscing over whether or not he’d end up hesitating to play with the loli in the future, was thinking as he continued to grin at Jacinta.
“So, Lord Jacinta. Why might you be here?”
Shien continued to act like he’s just curious.
Jacinta was silent. His gaze constantly flicked to Airi like he was trying to get a read on her attitude.
Airi however didn’t say anything. She just let herself be held by Shien resignedly like none of this had anything to do with her. Her previous joy was nowhere to be found.
Jacinta had no way of knowing that Airi was happy just a moment ago though. He just saw her obediently letting Shien hold her without resisting. Thus, his gaze toward Shien finally changed.
In that instant, Jacinta was certain.
Previously, the person that his little master had said that she was interested in was in actuality the Princess’s favored person before him now.
No, based on his little master’s attitude, she’s clearly not just merely interested in this person.
At the very least, Jacinta had never seen his little master act completely unresistant to being hugged and act like an actual good little kid.
That Shien…
Jacinta’s mind whirled with calculations, but in the end, he hid them all deep down.
“I never expected to see Sir here, what a surprise.”
Jacinta took a deep breath and attempted to show a smile. However, perhaps due to the fact that his utter shock still haven’t fully faded yet, his smile looked rather forced.
Shien didn’t mind it though.
Shien only cared about one thing.
“Looking at how your lordship was acting just now, you seem to be looking for something, right?”
Shien’s smile was brilliant and curious.
That look made Jacinta twitch some more.
It’s because he knows that Shien is definitely trying to get some information from him.
He knew full well that it was because of this person’s suggestion that the Princess ordered the areas around the Capital to be locked down, thus somewhat obstructing his actions.
Thus, Jacinta knows full well that this person is nowhere near as honest as he looked, and that he’s not someone easy to deal with.
Of course, if it was before, Jacinta wouldn’t have minded if Shien wasn’t easy to deal with. Rather, he would have even found it interesting.
But now…
“What are you looking at me for?”
When she saw Jacinta look toward her again, Airi impatiently spoke up while still being held in Shien’s arms.
“You’re being asked a question here. Answer.”
Those words nearly made Jacinta kneel right down on the spot and honestly start answering all of Shien’s questions.
Jacinta ended up laughing bitterly to himself as well.
This time, he’s one who was certain now.
Is his master amazing?
Of course she is.
Just like Shien had thought, his master is definitely a member of that most amazing group.
But since he was able to make his amazing master act so obedient, doesn’t mean that Shien is even more amazing?
Thus…
“Not to be provoked, not at all.”
Jacinta confirmed that to himself.
