After the incident when Evelyn couldn't push the door of her room and was trapped inside, resulting in near starvation, Baymont seems to have a greater awareness of human tenderness. He arranges for Vanessa to become Evelyn's consort, lest she die of some strange and trivial matter before the succession ceremony. Vanessa is the demoness with the poisonous snake on her head, sort of like Medusa, and even though she cuts off her arm, it doesn't take long for her body, which Evelyn finds extraordinarily sexy and powerful, to be as good as new. Having company should have been a good thing; after all, Evelyn was full of doubts and curiosity about demons and the Old Realm, and there were some things she couldn't ask Baymont directly or indirectly, Evelyn could only plan to get words out of the demoness who hadn't moved an inch. However, Evelyn realizes that she doesn't understand the demon's language at all, and Vanessa doesn't know anything about the common language of humans. Ev
It wasn't long - Evelyn wasn't sure how long, but it certainly wasn't ten months, and it was terribly short - before Vanessa "gave birth" to a child. A baby. Evelyn's feelings were subtle and mixed. ...... She just became a mother? Uh, no, Vanessa had the baby, so she's the father? Evelyn stared at the "little monster" in front of her and fell into a wonderful contemplation. Although it's not good to use "little monster" to describe a newborn child, Evelyn couldn't find any other way to describe it than "little monster". ...... The "little monster" had a big head that was as long as its body, a thin, shriveled torso, limbs that were as shriveled as reptile arms and legs, and a small, bare tail ...... although it looked a bit like an extra tailbone. Vanessa ate her hair, hoping to have a child with the same light blonde hair, but it didn't work out as she had hoped. "There were only a few strands of dry hair growing sparsely on the little monster's big, even bloated head, a
There were a total of three moons in the Old Empire. When Evelyn first came here, there was only a single red moon in the sky, but now it has been replaced by a cold blue moon. Baymont once said that when the red, blue, and purple moons rise together in the sky, the inheritance ceremony should begin. As part of the inheritance, Evelyn was of course protected, or rather guarded, without the consent of Consul Baymont, she could not leave the great palace, most of the time Baymont gave her the advice that it was best to limit the scope of activities within this room. Evelyn had been able to devote her time and attention to Xavier, but when Xavier was disposed of - probably eaten by Vanessa - she was forced to leave the room. Vanessa ate him, Evelyn wasn't sure, but when Xavier was disposed of - maybe by Vanessa, Evelyn wasn't sure - she went back to her old life, studying the language of demons. With ordinary textbooks no longer sufficient for her needs, Evelyn politely asked B
At the time, Evelyn was busy dealing with a messenger sent by her family. In fact, Evelyn's identity in this world is not that of a commoner living in a frontier town, but rather the daughter of an earl's family, sent to a small frontier town far from the hustle and bustle of the imperial capital after the death of her nominal father, who was unpopular with her mother. Evelyn's mother is a woman so obsessed with power and desire that gold, not blood, runs through her veins. She disliked Evelyn because she would never listen to her and would never sleep with a noble lord - from the time Evelyn was five years old, the woman calculated what she could get in exchange for her daughter's body. As Evelyn grew older and more beautiful, the Countess, who had traveled around the imperial capital, seemed to remember that she had an older daughter, and she looked at Evelyn as if she were a fortune. At that time, almost everyone thought that Evelyn would ride in a luxurious carriage and
Sagon was Irzey's youngest son. Baymont had mentioned him once, albeit in a few words, but it had given Evelyn a general impression of the youngest son - he must have taken a detour when he met him. Evelyn had also asked Vanessa about the Demon King's sons, and when it had come to the three older brothers, Vanessa had looked normal, even respectful, and it was only when Sagon had been mentioned that Vanessa had shown a look of awe and disgust, and after only a few words she had closed her mouth and refused to talk about it any further. And now Evelyn had finally met the Sagon she had always been curious about. To be honest, the other party had a pretty, easy to love face, maybe because of his young age, he still had some baby fat on his face, and when he smiled, a small pear swirl showed on his left cheek, which seemed to make people feel close to him easily. But those turquoise eyes were as cold as a crawling viper. The huge contrast created a feeling of incompatibility
It wasn't until he had pinched Evelyn's red cheeks that Sagon was satisfied and withdrew his hand - human skin is so soft, he thought to himself. Evelyn covered her vaguely sore cheek and whispered, "Baymont will come looking for me when he realizes I'm gone." "Wow," Sagon stared at her with a grin, "Are you threatening me with that Baymont guy? Baymont doesn't care about anything, I know him too well." Evelyn continued, "But according to the tradition here, I am your father's legacy. Do you have the power to do whatever you want with me until the succession ceremony?" Sagon touches her pinched red cheek and says lightly, "Honestly, I kinda like you, Queen. And I'm not really interested in any of the other heirs." "You'll be my property by then anyway," Sagon gave her an oozing smile, "What difference does it make if I use it sooner or later?" Evelyn: "............" Seeing that Sagon seems to be determined to play with her as he pleases, Evelyn thinks about it and give
Shaykh examined Evelyn through the layers of curtains, finding this human very special. She neither cried nor cowered, there was no look of fear on her face, nor was there the slightest hint of nervousness in her gaze. From the first step she took into this castle, she behaved calmly, even freely, from the beginning to the end. She looked at her fellow humans as if she were looking down on crumbling flora and fauna, and in the face of demons as if she were treating beasts that were understandable and relatable, and therefore not scary. ...... So what is she trying to do now? Is it luring a demon? Evelyn waited a moment and saw several thick black tentacles rustling out from behind the curtain. She laughed a little, not surprised - how could she say that a human saying to a demon, "Would you like to touch my skin?" was, in turn, akin to a cat laying on the ground with its belly spread out, saying to its human owner, "You can touch all you want. You can touch me all you want
The first thing Shaykh sees when he wakes up is still Evelyn. She was still sitting on the cushion outside the curtain, as if she hadn't taken a step away, well-behaved like a pet whose owner was out and honestly watching the house - in Shaykh's eyes, all humans were pets, and pets were only differentiated by being cute or not, obedient or disobedient. Evelyn's delicate form was hidden from view by the layers of curtains, but the demon's eyesight had always been superior, so Shaykh observed her figure, her movements, and the expression on her face with precision. Evelyn is fixing his hair. Since she didn't have a comb, she could only insert her slender fingers into her soft hair, combing it one by one, carefully, so as not to get knots in it. The serious look on her face just showed some fatigue, as if she hadn't rested well, and when she lowered her eyes, her raven-feathered lashes would follow suit, looking as if she were asleep. Evel
