Volu 5.2Chapter 2
See Disqus comnt for release schedule update.
Nothing happened to . Put another way, Queen Sisi didn't plan to ham or humiliate . She was probably going to so banquet next, probably the banquet to celebrate her victory over the Demon King. She did change into fancy clothing, after all. If it wasn't for her odious temperant and twisted fondness for tornting others, she'd be a perfect woman. She didn't take along.
The place we were held resembled an ordinary tent. That large bathtub and the water Queen Sisi bathed in filled the room with a faint milk scent. To be able to spend so lavishly was indeed what a Queen would do. Besides the bathtub, there was nothing else worth checking out. It wasn't her bedroom, so there was nothing in there. I didn't dare to move about outside; I wasn't sure what would happen if guards saw . Since I was in danger, I turned my vigilance up to the very max.
Besides , the young girl was the only soul in the tent. The young demon girl silently lied on the ground. I didn't know if she was all right or not. I didn't understand her whatsoever. I had no clue what her situation was or what her na was. Nonetheless, we were both prisoners of war. Despite being a human, I felt as though I was treated the sa way as a demon.
I sat down and picked up the girl. She weakly leaned onto my chest. Her body gently shook. I pressed my hand on her abdon, causing her to cough up several mouthfuls of water. After she coughed the water up, she weakly opened her eyes. She gently grabbed my arm and tried to get closer to : "So cold Please hug so cold please hug ."
The girl pushed herself into my arms. I tightly hugged her and caressed her face. She shut her eyes, but her tears didn't stop. She was just a kid, a very ordinary kid. She didn't do anything wrong, yet was treated so harshly. She was so powerless and hopeless. Others seized control of her fate
I hugged the girl as though I was hugging my past self.
"Thank you You saved and are now treating so nicely thank you."
"It's all right. I'm glad you're all right. You're just a kid. No matter what the case is, it's not your problem. Don't be scared."
I didn't know why, but looking at her face gave a strong desire to protect her. I wanted to protect her and hold her. Perhaps it was due to my own childhood. I couldn't see how she was a demon from her appearance. She just appeared to be an innocent human child to . There was nothing to suggest otherwise.
"Are you the Demon King's daughter?"
She gently nodded. Then, she gently gripped my chest and quavered: "I may be the Demon King's daughter, but my father has countless children. I am just his daughter with a succubus. Succubi are ranked very low among intelligent demons That's why nobody cared about us. After my mom passed away, I was locked in the palace. I didn't dare to leave My brothers and sisters showed no rcy and killed each other for the throne. I was not an exception. I don't have any combat abilities. I was scared Nobody took care, and nobody protected I was all alone even until my father was slain
"Nobody ever protected Nobody ever cared about Nobody even wanted to speak to I just watched the birds fly from the interior of the palace every day, looking forward to the day I could finally leave"
The young girl gently leaned her head on my chest and sighed as though she felt reassured. She struggled to wrap her arms around my back and tightly hold onto . She shut her eyes feeling reassured and softly murmured, "You feel as if you are my papa. the papa I see in my dreams protecting , taking care of . Your chest is very, very warm. I feel as though I don't need to be scared or worried no matter what happens outside as long as I have you by my side If possible can I call you 'Papa'?"
I choked on tears. I was aware she was serious, but for a single man, such as myself, such a sudden way of addressing left at a loss for what to do. I never even had a girlfriend. It, therefore, was a bit over the top for to suddenly have a daughter.
I looked over to the entrance when I heard a voice. Veirya brushed open the curtain, revealing a plate on her hand. On the plate was so food. She placed it on the ground and stated, "For you. Tomorrow. Go back. With Her Majesty. The child. Will be handed to the elves."
"No."
Frankly, the long sword at her waist freaked out. I reactively pulled Leah behind . Given that she didn't hesitate in the least to swing her blade down on a child, she might've slashed on the spot. I asserted, "I've decided to adopt her. Therefore, I won't let anyone take her away. I'm taking her with ."
"It's Her Majesty's order."
"In that case, I demand an audience with Her Majesty. I believe that Her Majesty is willing to listen to my opinion. Since I have to serve her, I should be by her side!"
Veirya mulled over whether what I said was wrong or right. By the looks of it, she couldn't co up with a reason to argue otherwise. Indeed, I should've been by Queen Sisi's side.
"What's the matter? Did soone ask to see ? I want to take another bath, but I've heard sothing interesting."
As we conversed, we suddenly heard Queen Sisi's lazy voice from outside. She sounded tipsy. She bumped straight into Veirya's back. She poked her head over the top of Veirya's shoulder and smiled: "Do you have sothing that you want? Perfect timing, I happen to be in an excellent mood at the mont. Let's hear what you have to say. It's best that you don't ruin my good mood, however."
