Alex, for the first ti in his life—this life—felt humiliated.
To tell the truth, it didn't feel anything like he thought it would.
He always thought that it wouldn't matter to him no matter what others said, but today, when he heard Seraphyna's words, he knew that he wasn't immune to other people's views.
He realized that his ego—which, after awakening the incubus bloodline, had reached very high—wouldn't let even the slightest disrespect against himself go scott-free.
The mont he heard her words, he was first shocked, not sure if he heard it right, but after he ca back to his senses, he felt a burning sensation in his cheek.
It was as if he had been slapped hard across his cheek, and that too in front of so many people.
*Clench*
He clenched his fists, trying to calm down his nerves.
He didn't want this event to cloud his decision, yet he found his feet moving toward Seraphyra without a stop.
His eyes didn't even turn to look at the demon generals or Azaroth.
He just kept walking.
*Step**Step*
One step after another, and with each step of his, the pressure in the throne room multiplied.
*Step*
But he ignored all of that and kept walking until he was just an inch away from Saraphyra.
He stared down at her, but Seraphyra, just like before, didn't dare look into his eyes—especially right now, when he looked so imposing.
But just as everyone waited for Alex's next move with batted breaths, Alex's arm moved.
The bodies of everyone present in the throne room tensed, much more so since Alex had started releasing his bloodline pressure.
His arm slowly rose up, reaching for Seraphyra's neck….
Or so it looked, as the next instant, instead of her neck, his fingers touched her chin.
*Tremble*
Seraphyra, who had her eyes shut the mont Alex stood in front of her, had her body jerk the mont she felt his cold fingers brushing against her skin until they finally held her chin.
Before she could even realize it, her eyes were open, and she found herself staring into the cold, haunting, red eyes of Alex.
*Shiver*
For so strange reason, her body shivered again, but as she looked at his divine face, her cheeks started to heat up.
'No!'
She exclaid inwardly, trying to move her head, but Alex's grip on her chin tightened, causing her to wince and jolt out of her thoughts.
"You have sothing to say, don't you?"
Alex's words echoed in the throne room, and everyone heard them loud and clear since the hall was enveloped in an eerie silence.
"Ah, I-I…"
Seraphyra was unable to speak as she stared into those red eyes that were fixed on hers.
But soon, she took a deep breath.
*Inhale**Exhale*
Seraphyra was an antagonist in progress, not just any random hobo; she got to live up to her title, after all.
So, just a deep breath was enough to calm her nerves.
"Yes, my lord."
She nodded her head at Alex's question, trying to create so distance between herself and Alex, and this ti, Alex let go of her chin, letting her move away.
"Go on, then."
He gestured for her to continue as he clasped his arms behind his back.
"It was a misunderstanding, my lord.
I am really sorry if it sounded disrespectful, but I didn't an it that way."
Seraphyra spoke as she bowed her head deeply, giving a glimpse of her breast that peaked out of her deep neck gown.
No one actually looked at it, though, since every pair of eyes had turned toward Alex now, waiting for his reply.
Alex, on the other hand, didn't show that much interest in her body, right now.
"Your words are misunderstood a lot, are they not?"
Alex's sharp words caused Seraphyra to go silent, her head lowering.
She knew what Alex was pointing at; even the reason for her not coming to the ceremony was misinterpreted, and now this.
"I'm still waiting for what you wanted to say."
Alex purred after a short silence, causing Seraphyra to again take a deep breath.
'It is a lot harder than I thought.'
Seraphyra, who had seen Alex on the live broadcast, rated him as a hard person to deal with, but only now did she realize that the difficulty level was much higher than she rated it to be.
Now, she needed to make things clear, or much less save Rohrg—the guy who was ignored more than Grum—she wouldn't even be able to save herself.
"My lord, I thought that the throne was going into the hands of soone undeserving."
Seraphyra, with much effort, looked into Alex's eyes, and before Alex could frown at her words, a soft smile ford on her lips.
"But that was before.
After I saw who it was and I saw your divine presence, I realized that I should not have judged too quickly.
I realized that it was now in hands more deserving than my own; that was why I ca running here, my lord."
Seraphyra uttered those words with a smile, and by the ti she reached the end of her words, she had her head bowing again.
"Oh?"
Alex, who was a bit taken aback by her words, sohow felt better, and now he was finally able to think straight.
His head was working fine now, and he realized how bad it would've been if he hadn't co back to his senses.
His eyes glanced at Azaroth, only to find him staring at Seraphyra with a cryptic expression.
"So, you ca 'rushing' here just because you wanted to see ?"
However, he didn't keep his focus on Azaroth for long and questioned Seraphyra in a flirtatious tone, a grin tugging at the corners of his lips.
"Ah…"
Seraphyra, who understood what Alex was trying to imply, couldn't stop the furious blush from covering her face, but just as she was about to pass a shy nod...
*Tip**Top**Tip**Top*....

The sounds of heels tapping the ground were heard as Alex turned toward Luna, who was walking in his direction with a smile.
"Jealous much?"
He questioned Luna in a teasing tone, but Luna didn't reply; she just kept walking straight at him as she kept staring into his eyes.
But just as she was a ter away from him, her feet sohow got twisted, causing her body to fall toward Alex.
"Ahh!"
A soft, pained voice escaped her lips, causing almost every male demon to jump out of their seats and co rushing to help her, but a strong and firm hand was faster than any of them.
Alex's hand snaked through Luna's waist, supporting her as he pushed her seductive body against his.
"Are you all right?"
He questioned Luna with a smile, their faces just an inch away, their warm breaths felt by one another.
Alex already knew that Luna was just acting and she was fine, but why would he, a healthy man with fully functioning parts, reject it when an enchantress like Luna throws herself at him?
"Yes, thank you for your help."
Luna, who heard his voice, smiled as well before she rested her head on his chest, listening to the calm rhythm of his heartbeats.
