The voice from behind was extremely familiar, and it carried a tinge of jealousy.

The tone was like it was accusing Elena of fooling around with someone behind his back.

Who else could it be but that pervert Lin Xiao

Usually, Elenas first reaction would to be annoyed, whoever she talks to is her freedom, whats it to you Who the hell do you think you are

That was a natural emotion, but unexpectedly, she wasnt angry at all, rather she was grateful.

Like a small boat amidst a violent storm that finally saw a glimpse of the harbor, she almost even leapt into his arms and cried to him about the terrifying event she just experienced.

Of course, there was no way Elena would do something so feeble in her lifetime.

She was a monarch how could she show her weak side to anyone

“Cough…”

Elena cleared her throat and slowly turned around, when she finally saw Lin Xiaos familiar appearance, she was able to calm down and all her fear was swept away.

She still maintained her cold expression and spoke in her characteristically cold voice.

“Those two people, one was the hero Greenton, the other was the reserve hero Evelyn.”

“… Uh, Elena, I dont remember you drinking, why are you also drunk” Lin Xiao thought she was telling a joke.

“If you dont believe me, forget it… the banquet isnt over yet, why did you come out Werent you dancing with your little lover” Not wanting to recollect on her weakness, Elena quickly changed the topic.

“Oh, thats because Sister Ying, she…”

“She”

“Un, originally she was to agree, but…”

“It seems like you were rejected and you couldnt stay any longer.

Hmph, lets go.” Elena didnt want to hear about them flirting, she was more worried about Greenton coming back, so she planned to quickly leave.

“Hey, dont rush, explain it properly!”

Since Elenas complexion didnt look too well, Lin Xiao realized that Elena wasnt joking earlier and was serious.

So he instantly became vigilant and grabbed hold of her not letting her go.

“Eh W-what are you doing…”

When Elena noticed Lin Xiao grabbing her hand, she felt his warmth and the not so gentle grasp.

Elena blushed and tried pulling her hand away, but her weak power and halfhearted attitude revealed her inner shameful desires of wanting Lin Xiao to grasp her hand even tighter.

Elena suddenly remembered something.

ShenDai Ying once said that she felt extremely at ease when she was with Lin Xiao.

Elena could never understand what she meant by that, until now when she finally had a chance to experience it.

No wonder why that slut was always pestering Lin Xiao and thinking of ways to seduce him.

It was because of this…

Elena couldnt help but feel jealous when thinking of that, it felt like something that belonged to her was snatched away by someone else.

“Elena, whys your face red Were you injured by the heros aura”

How would Lin Xiao know of the Demon Kings thoughts Based on her usual cold attitude, there was no way she would blush just because her hand was grabbed.

He thought she was hurt and checked her up and down.

When he was sure there was no problem, he stared at her blankly.

“W-what are you looking at Im fine…”

Elena felt uncomfortable when being stared at by Lin Xiao, so she turned her head and didnt want him to see her increasingly red face.

“Strange, why is the hero here Oh, the king probably invited him to keep up appearances for his son, or he coincidentally passed by during a mission and came for some free alcohol.

I heard that he was an alcoholic and smoke addict, the royal champagne should be very alluring to him…”

Since he couldnt tell what Elena was thinking, he came up with possibilities based on the situation.

“So Elena, did the hero discover your identity” Lin Xiao asked with worry.

If her identity was saw through, then he would have to quickly think of a way to deal with it.

If word got around, then Elena would be in danger!

“Yes, he noticed.”

“Really Then why did he leave”

“He was drunk, so he didnt mind it!”

“Oh, I see, long live the royal champagne!” Lin Xiao couldnt help but celebrate and breathe out a sigh of relief, and asked, “But, why arent you afraid”

“Afraid Hmph, of course not, if it wasnt because he escaped quickly, I even thought about transforming to finish him off.”

How could the demon king be afraid Of course not, she felt really secure right now, and it definitely wasnt because of Lin Xiaos hand, but because she was brave!

Un, thats right.

“Uh, finishing him off might be difficult… right, what were you guys talking about Im surprised you were even brave enough to chat the hero up, could it be you were trying to get him to cede land and give in to the demons” After Lin Xiao confirmed nothing happened, he relaxed and began joking with her.

“No, we were talking about you.”

“Me What about me”

“That woman, said you were useless trash.” Elena simply spoke of the truth.

“… Sigh, the world has misunderstood me too much, they dont understand my transcendent pursuit of a life free from fame and fortune.”

“Lazing around and waiting to die counts as a life pursuit”

“Hmph, how dare you say that… so Elena, as my maid, did you properly retort her” Lin Xiao jokingly blamed her.

Although he said that, Lin Xiao knew, with Elenas temper, there was no way she would help him say anything.

Not joining in was already good enough.

“I…”

Elena stopped, this time, she was scared of saying the truth.

She was angered by what Evelyn said, not only did she retort her, she even almost started arguing… there was no way she would let Lin Xiao know that.

“No, I-I didnt.” Elena cleared her throat again and used her usual cold voice, “I think shes absolutely right, I even added that not only were you useless trash, you were also an incorrigible pervert.”

“Tsk, Elena, do you like it the more perverted I am You masochistic maid!”

“Pervert.”

Elena coldly snorted and was preparing to turn and leave, but she realized he was still holding onto her.

If she wanted to leave, she would have to pull her hand away.

She didnt want to do that yet and wanted to continue holding his hand, she was worried if she just left like that she would be caught in fear again.

So she thought about it for a moment and in the end just simply turned around, like a wife having an argument with her husband, holding hands while pretending to be aloof.

“Uh…”

Lin Xiao didnt really get it and thought that she was scared by the hero so thats why she was acting strange.

He didnt continue arguing with her, and instead prepared to leave with her.

In a blink of an eye, the banquet was over, all the main characters left early.

No one thought it would have turned out like this, the banquet lost its meaning and everyone left in succession.

As for Lin Xiao, he had mixed feelings.

The good thing was he found a way to stop the wedding and expressed his feelings to ShenDai Ying, winning her trust.

Though his method may be foolish, but it could be his trump card.

If he doesnt find a better way in five months, he might just have to give it a shot!

But he also had worries…

“Elena… um…”

When he thought about what Elena asked him in the banquet hall, Lin Xiao felt wracked with guilt.

All this time, it seems he never took Elenas feelings into consideration.

He one-sidedly wanted to keep her by his side, and never once thought about her.

Not for anything else, even just so that she maintains her faithfulness, she should help her do something, right

“What Spit it out.”

“Um, did you say you want me to go take missions a while ago, to investigate things related to the demons” Lin Xiao took a deep breath, endured his unwillingness, and continued speaking, “I decided! Elena, Im going to get certified tomorrow, and then Ill take missions related to demons and help you investigate the Venus Society.

If possible, Im also willing to help you investigate the origins of the Lesser Devils and the plot of the traitors and help you solve your problems.”

“What… did you say” Elena was shocked and turned her head in disbelief.

“Hm, Im sorry for ignoring your feelings all this time… starting from tomorrow, I wont laze around anymore!”

“Really”

When she saw his sincere expression, she was speechless.

She knew Lin Xiao well, and naturally about how lazy he was, and how he was a good-for-nothing that hated troublesome things, but he actually promised to help her.

It was a miracle!

“Un, really, Im going to get certified tomorrow morning, you can come with me.”

“But those investigative missions are really tiring, troublesome and dangerous, are you really going” Elena still couldnt believe it and tried to ask him.

“Sigh, cant help it, its not like I can keep staying at home and bully you all the time.

the rebellion among the demons still hasnt been resolved, there needs to be an end sooner or later.”

“But thats my problem, youre just a human, it has nothing to do with you, I-I never told you to meddle in someone elses business!”

Elena clearly wanted him tomeddle in her business, but now shes denying it, completely forgetting who was the one who was sternly ordering him to help her catch the traitors.

“Then just take it that Im being meddlesome, um… Elena, I still have something I want tot tell you.”

“What”

When Elena looked up at him, she saw he had a shy and complication expression.

“The question you asked me earlier, I still cant answer it… but I want you to know that I wont waste your feelings, as long as I promise, I will also keep it for life… I want you to be my maid from the heart.

So…”

“So”

Although she still had a cold expression, but based on his stammering, Elenas heart started beating quicker and she thought he was going to say something disgusting that would make her blush in embarrassment.

“That… uh… Elena, I think you should prepare to be my maid for the rest of your life, I dont think youll be able to leave.”

“… What did you say!”

What happened to those romantic lines Whats with that nonsense

“Uh, Im not joking… Elena, I thought about it carefully, and I think theres a problem.” Lin Xiao scratched his head and squirmed like a shy little boy and said, “Humans and demons probably have reproductive isolation.

Although you can turn into human form, cat blood flows inside you.”

“So”

Elena didnt understand what reproductive isolation meant, but it didnt feel like something good, so she squinted at him with a chilly gaze.

“So Im just guessing, even if you really fall in love with me and did it… then it would probably be very difficult for you to get pregnant, so you would just be doing it for nothing, so…”

“You damn pervert, shut your mouth!”

What pregnant, doing it… just as he said something serious, he started acting like a pervert again! Elena hated that she couldnt deal with him like how Evelyn dealt with Greenton and give him a good punch!

“Hehe, just kidding… we still have to get certified tomorrow, so lets go home and get some sleep!”

Lin Xiao laughed, and used a light attitude to hide his true feelings.

He could only muddle by like this, but at least he took the first step.

The future, should be better, right

Letting go of Elenas hand, Lin Xiao quickly walked towards the exit.

“Hey, um…”

“Hm”

Before he could leave, Lin Xiao suddenly noticed that Elena grasped the hand that he let go of, as if unsatisfied with him selfishly letting go.

What Is she still scared

“…”

“…”

Neither one of them made a sound.

The two stood there silently in the dark garden, never letting go of each others hands.

“… A-are you still not leaving”

“Oh.”

In the end, Lin Xiao never figured out what was wrong with Elena, he didnt remembered how they got home that day and whether they let go of their hands or not.

He only remembered the feeling of his sweaty palms.

They probably, never let go.
