Chapter 86: Bubbling Blood
The next day, and the day after that, and the day after that.
It could be called blatant, or perhaps it was even worse. The relentless torment that was not clearly defined continued.
In the main dining hall.
Amidst dozens of servants serving dishes, a boy with a face full of annoyance stared at a plate of soup and said,
Hey, demon maid.
However, there was no response to the boys shout. Dozens of maids surrounded the boy at the dining table, but none of them reacted to the boys words.
Well, it was understandable. Didnt the boy just say, demon maid? The mansions maids blinked their eyes as if the words were out of place.
The boy, who had been sitting alone at the large dining table and tasting the soup a few times, was now claiming that demons had invaded the mansion of Hugo Prient, the strongest knight in the empire. So, it was natural for them to have doubts about the boys words.
The fact that demons had invaded the mansion meant that demons had revealed themselves in the imperial capital where the emperor resided. It was not a topic to be taken lightly.
The term Demon, in itself, referred to an intelligent being with evil intentions. Its mere existence instilled fear in most people.
But still, the idea that demons were casually working as maids was quite absurd.
Demon. Cant you hear me?
Nevertheless, Shiron spoke as if he were convinced that there were demon maids in the dining hall.
Still receiving no response, Shiron turned his head and stared at a specific spot. All eyes followed Shirons gaze.
Are you referring to her?
The place where their gaze stopped was Elise, a rookie maid recently brought in by Miss Siriel. Elise, who received countless stares, stiffened her face.
Here we go again.
Elise, feeling a slight headache, looked at Shiron.
Yes, you. Im calling you a demon maid.
Next to him were Encia and Ophilia, who were undeniably demons in Seiras eyes, but Shiron referred to Elise, who looked like a human woman, as a demon maid. To those who did not know the circumstances, it seemed like harassment.
All the maids in the dining hall sent sympathetic glances to Elise. However, no one could stop Shirons actions.
Shirons mischievous behavior had been experienced by all the maids in this mansion at least once, and it was an act implicitly allowed by the master of the house, Hugo.
Sigh
Dont you hear me? Or are you openly ignoring me?
Yes, sir. What do you need?
Seira reluctantly replied, suppressing a bit of fatigue. Shiron raised one corner of his mouth as if waiting for her response.
The soup is salty.
Im not a cook
Why are you so stubborn about being a maid? Its annoying.
Seira retorted, but Shiron ignored her as if he were proud of the act. In fact, wasnt he starting to get annoyed instead?
Seira calmed her rising anger and bowed her head meekly.
Im sorry. Ill bring the soup again.
Hmph.
Seira sniffled, feeling a bit of irritation. Where did it all go wrong?
Of course, without going into the details, it was Seira who manipulated Siriels actions and made her press the bid button.
However, due to months of Shirons torment, Seira couldnt bring herself to care that much. After enjoying centuries of leisure, she couldnt feel remorse at just that level of mental interference.
Whats with that little brat?
Kka-deuk!
While biting her thumbnail, Seira thought deeply.
Shiron Prient, the mastermind behind everything The boy was as wicked as they came, with black hair and eyes.
At first glance, the term wicked might seem exaggerated, but according to Seiras evaluation, it was the most fitting word among all the intelligent beings she had encountered.
However, there were some strange aspects.
He didnt think of me as a demon, did he? Why is he so agitated?
When dealing with demons, one has to be even more cautious. Provoking them to the point of anger was tantamount to suicide. Moreover, that little brat was incredibly weak.
Shiron was stronger than an average human, but in Seiras eyes, he was no different from a child trying to lift a boulder. Even the two demons he always carried with him couldnt match Seiras strength.
That little demon dares to defy me, even though I can easily kill him
Seiras sacred skill, Extreme Light White Night, could easily annihilate high-ranking demons. After all, it was a magic that was developed to combat demons who hadnt reached godhood
No, absolutely not.
When an overly aggressive thought crossed her mind, Seira shook her head and regained her composure.
Responding with sincerity to a childs provocation wouldnt be mature. Although she had practically erased herself from the world in various ways, she still held a sense of justice.
Getting excited over a childs provocation and causing an incident would make Seira no different from the demons she vanquished 500 years ago.
The narrative that Seira despised the most was the story of a righteous person turning into a villain after punishing evildoers.
In reality, there was a way to rectify this situation.
Erasing the memories of everyone except the boy and leaving the mansion.
But Seiras pride would not allow it.
It was laughable that she, who boasted of being the greatest mage, couldnt endure the torment of a mere child. Furthermore, Seira had a personality that demanded she settle any score when provoked.
However, Seira couldnt think of any clever ideas.
Shiron had confidently withstood her mental interference, something which she had proudly displayed. Every time she cast a spell to fend off the torment, Shiron would smile smugly while his nose bled.
His demeanor sent shivers down Seiras spine.
What a stubborn brat. A chilling brat. He knows everything, yet hes acting this way?!
Seira, who was chewing on the corner of her blanket, continued to ponder how to deal with this frustrating situation.
Thats it!
Seira, who had been deep in thought for a while, suddenly sat up on the bed.
Am I a genius?
Without asking for my help, I can make him give up, right? Why didnt I think of this method until now?
With this method, she could reverse the situation without feeling any remorse. A bright smile appeared on Seiras face.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
