Chapter 661 : Stupid, Stupid, Stupid

Inside the hotel suite.

Eitani hid in her room, closing the door, and refused to come out no matter what Felyn said.

Evening arrived again.

Felyn sat alone on the sofa, looking at the Morning Star in his hand.

Faced with what happened today, the best solution was to tell Viloti and let the future head of the family handle it directly.

But it was still unknown whether it was really Waldrick who was collecting them, and more importantly, who he was collecting them for.

If it was just a simple trade, it would at least not affect the entire Silafiel family.

But if it involved politics, such as the struggle for the throne, or the church, then the trouble would be much greater.

Should I tell Viloti or not?

After much thought, Felyn decided to trust Viloti.

She wasn't a child. Although Viloti always followed behind him, she was a genius young lady. She was definitely much more professional at handling family affairs than a gigolo like him.

Let the professionals handle professional matters. I'll just cooperate fully and follow her lead.

「Viloti, are you busy?」

The reply was almost instantaneous.

「Not busy, I just finished my bath. What's up?」

「I miss you. It feels like I haven't seen you in a long time.」 After sending the message, Felyn seemed to smell the scent of oranges.

「/(///ω///)/」

「I miss you too, Felyn. I can't sleep well in bed recently... When will the Royal Capital District be unsealed? I can't see Felyn.」

After chatting for a few sentences, Felyn told Viloti everything that had happened today.

「I understand, Felyn. This is definitely not my father's intention. I'll have someone investigate. Thank you for telling me this.」

「It's nothing. I want to help you too. If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know. I'll also investigate him in Seiwa.」

「Mhm, mhm!」

The chat ended.

Felyn put the communication art seal in his pocket, toying with the Morning Star in his hand.

It was a transparent crystal with a purple light source inside.

The entire Royal Capital District was in short supply of this thing right now. If he collected a large amount and then sold it at a high price...

Then he would become a black-hearted merchant.

Felyn shook his head, stood by the window with his hands behind his back, and watched the sun sink below the horizon bit by bit.

Am I not a black-hearted merchant?

He grinned, as if he could see the maids in the manor waving at him.

Besides the members of the Empire, Felyn planned to sell them at a high price to the members of the church. Anyway, they weren't from his own country, and since they could come to the Royal Capital District, it proved they weren't short on money.

"Click."

The door was pushed open at this moment.

Eitani's figure appeared in the crack of the door. She was wearing a deep-V wrap-around black dress that perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure.

She wore no shoes, her fair feet stepping on the floor.

Her wavy red hair was draped behind her, the fluffy strands softening her angular face slightly.

However, overall, Eitani and Seraphina belonged to the same type, completely different from the other young ladies around Felyn.

They had the traces of time on them, a mature charm brought by the long years.

Eitani looked at Felyn and uttered two words, "Hungry."

Felyn felt that his previous thoughts were all wrong. How could Eitani be associated with the word "mature"?

"Were you just messaging Seraphina?"

"Hmm? No."

How does this girl Eitani know I'm messaging someone else?

Could it be that she was peeking at me through the crack in the door the whole time?

Felyn glanced at the door. If she wanted to peek at him, she would have to lie on the floor.

"Hmph." Eitani felt that Felyn wasn't lying to her, so she came to his side and slowly sat down.

She crossed her legs, her face cold, the black dress absorbing the light in the room.

The Demon King's daughter sat on the sofa, as if this was her territory.

"Grumble~"

Along with the sound of her stomach growling, Eitani's face merged with the last rays of the setting sun outside the window.

Her flushed cheeks became the sunset in this room.

"How about we go eat first? I know a very good restaurant downstairs. Last time I passed by, just smelling the grilled steak made me so hungry. Watching it sizzle with oil, I could imagine the meaty texture and flavor exploding in my mouth."

The corner of Eitani's mouth twitched as she rubbed her stomach.

She cheered herself on in her heart. I'm the Demon King's daughter! This guy Felyn can't tempt me with food!

"Or we could have stew, that's not bad either. The cream stew is delicious. Last time, I went to eat it for seven or eight days in a row."

"Oh right, there's a roasted chicken in Dunk District that's also super delicious..."

Eitani rubbed her stomach hard and said in a low voice:

"I... I want to eat grilled steak."

The dignity of the Demon King's daughter vanished.

"Alright, let's go now."

Felyn extended his hand to Eitani, but she remained seated on the sofa.

"Felyn... carry me on your back."

"Eh?"

Although it was a bit unexpected, Felyn still squatted in front of Eitani, turned his back to her, and said, "Get on."

Eitani's hands rested on Felyn's shoulders. After confirming that Felyn genuinely wanted to carry her, she finally relaxed.

Eitani had been worrying about one thing. As the Demon King's daughter, she had actually said such embarrassing words, saying that Felyn was hers.

Would Felyn become complacent because of this, thinking she was easy to handle? Thinking she couldn't live without him?

Would he go around showing off? Would he become arrogant?

Would he become different from before?

Now Eitani could confirm that Felyn hadn't. He was still the same Felyn.

However...

He made me hungry all day! He made me worry for so long!

Eitani gritted her teeth and kicked Felyn's butt.

"Eitani! What are you doing?!"

Eitani stood up with her hands on her hips, her voice finally returning to normal. "Stupid Felyn, stupid, stupid, stupid!"

"What's wrong with you all of a sudden?!"

"You heard it, right? I was very protective of you in front of outsiders. You have to serve me, your master, well! Be more attentive to me! Otherwise, you're letting me down! Hurry up and say 'Thank you, Lady Eitani'!"

"I, your master, haven't eaten all day, and you were actually chatting with other girls! I'm so angry!"

Felyn stood up, looked at her, and retorted in Eitani's tone, "Hmph, I don't need you to save me."

Eitani was stunned for a moment, then realized Felyn was imitating her tone.

"Felyn, you're imitating me?!" She leaped towards Felyn, preparing to pounce on him. "You're asking for it!!"

---

"Please, this way, you two."

Eitani, who had just been riding on his back, was now being treated like a young lady by the waitress in the restaurant.

The wrap-around black dress she wore was too eye-catching. Anyone would think she was a young lady who grew up in a wealthy family.

"We'll have these. Please be quick." Felyn handed the menu to the waitress.

"Mhm, alright."

Their table was by the window, offering a full view of Seiwa's night scenery.

Felyn looked at Eitani opposite him. "About what happened in the dungeon today... thank you."

He thanked her seriously.

For his sake, Eitani had used four super-tier spells.

He owed Eitani another favor.

Felyn didn't think this was a sign that Eitani liked him. How could the Demon King's daughter like a human?

Moreover, after the contract ended, Felyn would also part ways with Eitani, so he would deliberately not think about such things.

"Hmph, it's what I should do as your master."

Eitani pouted. "That waitress just now clearly thought we were a couple. You're clearly my attendant, okay? I feel like you're always taking advantage of me."

"How did I take advantage of you?"

"Still denying it! You've been taking advantage of me every time we've met!"

Felyn thought about it, and it was true.

He hadn't met Eitani many times, but a series of chaotic events had occurred, such as stealing her underwear, seeing her bathe, and jumping into a lake while holding her when she was under an evil spell.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Felyn no longer argued. He looked up boredly at the people in the restaurant.

He actually saw someone he knew.

Her flaxen hair was meticulously braided, making her look like a princess.

The maid dress she wore was out of place with the exquisite attire of the other guests in the restaurant.

Fiorella stood in a corner, her hands clutching her dress tightly, her head lowered, waiting for something.

Her thin shadow fell on the wall, trying to curl up so that no one would notice her.

Fiorella couldn't possibly be dining here. She was most likely here to get takeout for her master.

"Felyn, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the restroom. I'll be back soon."
