“What are you doing?”
Shien asked, confused.
“Nothing.”
Lucy smiled back in response, but her smile did not reach her eyes at all.
“Why did you pinch me if it’s nothing then?”
Shien only got more confused.
“Can’t I pinch you for no reason?”
Lucy however just said something like that like it’s completely reasonable.
Shien’s eyes twitched.
That brat. Did she forget that he has a bad temperament after his attitude toward her changed to spoiler her more often in the past few days?
If not for the fact that there’s way too many people here, then Shien would definitely have properly taught her a lesson.
Yeah, a lesson where he rubs every single inch of her body.
Alright then. A gentleman’s vengeance is not too late even after ten years after all. When the banquet is over, then he’ll take advantage of the opportunity and grab her. After that, she really won’t be allowed to go home tonight.
It’s about time for him to bid farewell to his virginity in this world already anyways. It’s not a bad idea to make that girl his first partner then.
Shien went ahead and marked Lucy in his mind a hundred times over.
Lucy of course also understood Shien quite well. When she spotted his unkindly gaze, her own heart tensed up.
Shit. Given that look in his eyes, he’s definitely going to completely eat her up.
Maybe she shouldn’t have offended him then?
She’s done for. Given his capacity for holding a grudge, she’s going to end up losing sooner or later.
Perhaps, then, she should avoid him for the time being and wait for him to calm down some?
But… The days without him are really boring though!
It looks like she’s going to just have to cross that bridge when she gets to it. In the worst case, she’ll just have to let him take advantage of her a little to minimize the sacrifices as much as possible.
Otherwise, given how that beast is looking at her like he’s planning on eating her up, Lucy felt like she’s going to end up pregnant before marriage and end up turning from the the pride of the royal family into the shame of the royal family.
The more Lucy thinks about it, the more she felt like this may really happen.
Her intuition is also very accurate as well. It’s directly related to the blessing of the goddess of fate, making it the guidance of fate itself.
In other words… If she doesn’t do something about it, then this may really end up happening!
S-she’s going to have to find some time to try and properly make him happy with her then…
Just as both Shien and Lucy were planning certain things in secret, a person suddenly charged in while in a panic.
“Y-your majesty!”
That person seemed to be a courtier from the palace. His position was not common by any means, yet he was now huffing and gasping for air with a completely panicked expression on his face, thus drawing a lot of attention.
“What is it?”
Ancil frowned and spoke in a dissatisfied tone.
It can’t be helped. For a courtier of the palace to act so discomposed, it was rather improper, so Ancil was obviously dissatisfied with him.
However, this normally capable courtier instead didn’t even notice now. He just hurriedly reported to Ancil in a panic.
“We… We just received the news. T-That personage of the demon world had just arrived at the Capital!”
The courtier’s words made everyone pause for a moment.
“That personage of the demon world?” Ancil had paused as well before his frown deepened in confusion, “Which personage? Just who could it be to make you this panicked?”
In response, the courtier just smiled bitterly. Just as he was about to continue speaking, a peal of laughter rang out.
“It looks like this one does not need to send a message ahead after all. This what it means by arriving at just the right time, right?”
A voice clearly made itself known within the hall, echoing throughout the room.
And following that voice, the air seemed to have frozen, weighing down on all present.
“————!”
All the nobles present shook.
“…!?”
Lucy, Ancil, Lia, Aldia and Charl all froze before suddenly turning toward the entrance.
Even Shien reacted with surprise.
It was because his detection skills didn’t give him the slightest reaction. Plus, it was like all the warning, alarm, and detection systems within the Bayztrot home had lost all effect, none of them doing a thing.
In such a situation, one person, with a group of demons following her, suddenly showed up at the scene of the banquet.
She instantly stole the gazes of everyone present.
…
“Eh?”
At the same moment, Airi, who had been snoring away in her own room suddenly snapped wide awake and got up in a panic.
“W-why is she here?”
Airi was extremely alarmed. In a rare display, she looked like she didn’t know what to do at all.
“Did she come here because of Shien?”
Airi immediately thought of that possibility.
Thus, Airi hesitated for a moment before letting out a sigh. Then, she spread out her dragon wings and flew on out.
