For the sake of his waist, he had to choose his side carefully at this time.
However, as if to retaliate against Lucy’s hostility, Leisha’s eyes darted around, and she suddenly grabbed Shien’s other arm.
“Our relationship is more than just acquaintances.” Leisha looked at Shien with seemingly affectionate eyes and said, “You’ve been to my house, and I’m now living under the same roof as you. We have a very good relationship, right?”
At this moment, Shien clearly felt the hand on his waist tighten, pinching a chunk of flesh.
Shien’s expression changed drastically, and he quickly pushed Leisha away before that hand could exert more force.
“That’s a different price… I mean, when did our relationship become so good?”
Shien almost steered the conversation in the wrong direction.
Leisha, however, didn’t mind at all and hugged Lasha beside her.
“I’m just telling the truth.” Leisha said to Lasha, “Right, Lasha?”
Before Shien could retort, Lasha spoke.
“I think this is a good thing.” Lasha said calmly. “With Milady sharing the burden, it will be much easier on the princess. Otherwise, with Mr. Shien’s size, some people just can’t handle it.”
These words silenced everyone.
“Pfft!”
Shien spat out blood.
“Huh?”
The smile on Leisha’s face froze.
“…”
Lucy was silent.
The car that had almost veered off course suddenly sped up.
But Shien knew that this road led to a dead end.
In other words… he was about to crash!
Shien quickly said,
“We have to go greet the other guests. Excuse us. Please enjoy yourselves.”
Saying so, Shien grabbed Lucy’s hand and ran.
“Wait… wait! You bastard, what did you do to Lasha…!?”
Leisha’s enraged voice came from behind, but it couldn’t stop Shien.
Lasha seemed to be holding Leisha’s hand, calmly persuading her.
Could this maid be doing this on purpose?
Shien couldn’t help but think this.
Until…
“Explain this to me when we get back…”
A demonic voice echoed in Shien’s ear.
“Yes…”
Shien’s lips twitched, on the verge of tears.
Unbeknownst to him, Lucy looked at Shien, her heart filled with complex emotions.
Although Lucy didn’t strongly object to Shien taking concubines in the future, it depended on who they were.
Leisha and Lasha’s identities were truly special.
They were so special that the human race, the Divine Race, and even the Demon Race didn’t know how to deal with them.
In the end, the three races could only tacitly ignore them, letting them act freely for the time being.
Otherwise, the item Leisha stole was so important, why didn’t Airi, Anima, or even the Kingdom dare to act against her?
It was because Leisha herself was special, and after taking that item, she became even more special.
People didn’t even want to mention that item in front of Leisha.
Lucy was the same. Although she said she wanted to capture Leisha, it was just to warn her not to go too far and treat the royal palace like a place she could come and go as she pleased.
Now, Lucy was worried that Shien being so close to Leisha and Lasha might cause problems.
Perhaps Shien had already entered the sights of the Divine Race and the Demon Race because of this.
(It seems I need to remind him sometime.)
Lucy thought.
She didn’t want to see her beloved foolishly touch some taboo and become the common enemy of the three races.
Of course…
(Considering Shien’s identity, those two being by his side is actually the most reassuring thing.)
Lucy thought this as well.
Lucy didn’t know that Nadue, who was nearby, had been silently watching this scene and sighed.
“Letting the Hero interact with those two sisters, I wonder if that’s a good thing.”
Nadue felt somewhat worried.
But the next moment, Nadue’s expression suddenly changed, and she looked up.
“This is…”
Nadue seemed to sense something and was stunned.
At the same time, in the banquet hall, Airi, holding Lilith’s hand and looking bored, also suddenly looked up.
“This feeling…”
Airi’s expression tensed, a serious look appearing in her eyes for the first time.
“…”
Even Lilith seemed to sense something and turned her head sharply, looking towards the entrance.
There, a figure had appeared at some point, silently stepping into the royal hall.
Her presence instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
