Chapter 666 : The Awakened Demon King

Dungeon, 100th Floor.

Eitani didn't know why she had teleported here.

The Demon King Siveshus in the center of the lake was still slumbering, and the overflowing purple magic was the only light source here.

She sat on a small earthen slope, her back to her father.

"Sigh."

Eitani sighed.

Her mind kept replaying the words she had just said, Felyn's expression, and the sound of the wind in Seiwa.

The Demon King's daughter was still wearing her pretty little black dress, her high heels embedded in the dirt.

She curled up her whole body, burying her head in her arms.

Was I... too harsh on Felyn just now?

But he's just my servant, my subordinate. No matter what I do to him, he should just take it obediently. The rules of the demon race have always been like this.

The strong are respected. Whoever is stronger gets to speak louder.

But Felyn is a human, after all...

If I say that, will he be unhappy...

No, no, no!

Why should I worry about whether Felyn is happy or not!

I'm the one who's unhappy. I'm the one who was completely taken advantage of by Felyn. Why should I worry about whether he's happy or not!

It's... it's as if I like him.

Eitani shook her head, slapping her cheeks hard, making a crisp sound.

Felyn, Felyn, Felyn! I hate you! I hate you! I never want to see you again!

I will never say another word to you in this lifetime.

"Angry?"

Siveshus's voice came from behind her, making Eitani's shoulders tremble.

"I-I'm not." Eitani didn't turn around.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"None of your business. You're just a wisp of my father's consciousness. I came to see my father, not you."

"No, I am Siveshus."

The Demon King's voice seemed to resonate with the souls of everything around them.

Eitani quickly turned around. She saw that all the magic in the dungeon was beginning to converge towards the Demon King, forming countless galaxies.

One of the Demon King's eyes was half-open, awakening from his slumber.

"Long time no see, Eitani."

The last time the Demon King had awakened was a hundred years ago.

During this long century, Eitani had barely spoken to anyone.

She watched from afar as adventurers entered the dungeon and fought side by side, eavesdropping on their laughter during their rests.

Other demons didn't dare to approach Eitani because of her status. She only had a few fire fluffballs as pets.

"Father, why did you wake up? Is something about to happen?" Eitani stood up and walked towards the Demon King, her voice trembling slightly.

"No. I just felt that your mood wasn't right."

Father is... concerned about me?

The Demon King paused, and his resonant voice sounded again, "Are you in love?"

"In... in love?!" Eitani's body instantly stiffened, her toes tensing up. "Who would I be in love with!"

"Isn't it a human? You've been running to the human world a lot recently. Isn't it because of him?"

"It's not because of Felyn!" Eitani stomped her foot, her face shy. "I just wanted to go on my own. It's not for anyone."

"Is that so." Siveshus didn't refute, but he noted down Felyn's name in his heart. "If you like him, I was planning to let you bring him to see me, and then I wouldn't stop you from going to the human world. Since you don't like him, then forget it."

His eyes slowly began to close, and the magic stopped converging, stagnating in the air.

Eitani stood there stunned, taking a full ten seconds to understand her father's meaning.

Father is... asking me to bring Felyn to see him?

"Father, were you serious just now? You... don't fall asleep! Don't fall asleep at this time! Father!"

The Demon King fell asleep.

The surface of the lake returned to its former tranquility.

It was as if everything just now had been a dream.

Eitani's hand remained outstretched in the air, not falling for a long time.

Her father had slept for a hundred years, and the only topic he had spoken to her about in a hundred years was asking if she was in love.

Really! Ask something else!

The next time I talk to you will be a hundred years from now!

Eitani stood there, tapping her arm repeatedly, hoping her father would wake up again so she could ask him clearly.

While waiting, Eitani thought a lot. Felyn's words, her words, and her father's words began to mix together.

「I am your master, Felyn.」

「Felyn, thank you. I was very happy today.」

「Felyn is mine, he can only be bullied by me!」

「Felyn, I hate you.」

「Eitani, does your head hurt? Do you want me to rub it for you?」

「Eitani, you look beautiful tonight, so I want to buy you a bouquet of flowers.」

「Eitani, are you in love?」

Eitani closed her eyes, her heart unable to calm down for a long time.

For father to ask that, he must have sensed something.

Am I... am I in love?

Am I... in love with Felyn?

How could that be? How could I fall in love with a human?

He's clearly my subordinate.

He's clearly my...

Or, in my heart, is he not a subordinate?

But...

But a friend?

The word "friend" was very foreign to Eitani.

She hadn't had a single friend for hundreds of years.

Eitani clutched her head, feeling a sharp pain.

She couldn't handle this relationship. Once she admitted that Felyn and she were friends, then her anger towards Felyn just now was entirely because she was too domineering, too tyrannical.

She didn't want to admit she was wrong.

Most importantly, she didn't want to find out that it was because of her unreasonable behavior that Felyn was hurt.

"Father, I'm leaving now. See you next time."

She ran away.

The dungeon was large, but there were only two places Eitani could go.

The lakeside where her father was, and her own little den.

Along the way, Eitani threw everything about Felyn to the back of her mind, trying not to think about him.

As long as she didn't go to the human world, she wouldn't think of Felyn.

But when Eitani pushed open the door to her little den, she knew she was wrong.

Her little den also had traces left by Felyn.

Felyn had been here before. That was their first meeting.

He had suddenly appeared here with two girls and even stole her underwear.

What a... pervert.

The dim little den was originally Eitani's safe house, where she could enjoy her time alone to the fullest.

But now, she had no interest in anything in her home.

Eitani stepped over the unicorn doll on the floor, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at the Zervanie poster on the wall.

After watching two of Zervanie's concerts on Felyn's recommendation, the Demon King's daughter had also come to like the super-popular songstress.

Eitani casually flipped through "The Great Adventure of the Princess and the Hero" by her pillow, suddenly remembering that Felyn always said it was a dirty book.

"It's not a dirty book..."

She muttered to herself, then threw it on the floor and covered it with a blanket.

Eitani fell backward, lying on the bed, her legs hanging limply in the air.

She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, leaving only her beautiful eyes exposed.

"Felyn..."

If my relationship with Felyn isn't that of a master and subordinate, then what should it be?

Eitani tightened the blanket again.

So cold...

Why is the room so cold?

Even the Zervanie poster on the wall had lost its color.

Everything in the room, without her realizing it, had been dyed with the color of Felyn.

Felyn...

Eitani forced herself to close her eyes, trying not to think of that person's name.
