937 Evelyn's Pursuer
“Do you mean it, my daughter? We are in an era of fighting to eliminate accursed creatures. We cannot afford to destroy our relationship with that noble family.” Kevin stroked his newly shaved beard with some hesitation. His daughter’s plan sounds dubious to him.
“Worry not, my father. He will definitely come straight to the palace now that the news about my return has spread. We are also not going to damage the Mitchell Royal Family’s relationship with anyone. We are only going to make them more submissive, hehe. Am I right, Sylvi? ” Evelyn patted her father’s arm while chuckling mysteriously.
“Well, I believe you are wise enough to do anything. The weight of your actions will not only affect our family, but also the Goddess you serve. The Goddess of Blessings will punish you if you cause trouble.” Kevin sighed and replied with a dismissive hand wave.
“Let’s do it now?” Sylvia also felt somewhat excited about teaching a presumptuous human a lesson.
“Devil. You didn’t influence my daughter to plan evil, did you?” Kevin narrowed his eyes. At one glance, Sylvia’s identity as the devil princess was known to him.
“Yes, I’m a devil, but the devil princess. This is your daughter’s idea, actually. We just help her handle the troublemaker.” Sylvia smiled kindly.
Unfortunately, Kevin saw that as a devilish yet wicked smile of a high-rank devil. If Sylvia didn’t come with the divine group, he wouldn’t let his daughter be around the devil’s evil influence.
“Well, be careful. He is known as lady killer, the white playboy who likes to play women. Yet, no women hate him even though they know their feelings have been played. How enviable, and how was that rascal able to pull off that feat?” Kevin raised his palm as he would only close his eyes and ears for youngsters this time. He muttered in a mosquito-like voice with a hint of envy.
“Yep, we’ll be careful. Anyway, father… Where’s mother and my little brother? They’re not in the palace.” Evelyn nodded in understanding.
“Well, they’ve been quite busy with matters outside recently. Look with these paperwork. I need to finish this before dinner and yet I have to go to the Holy City tomorrow morning. Wait, since you and the Goddesses have come to visit, I can throw this aside and have an early dinner, right?” Kevin tapped his chin and came up with a bright idea.
“No run away plan, father. Since you have decided you have to finish the paperwork before dinner, then that is what you will have to do.” Evelyn shook her head as she didn’t want her father to avoid work before it was finished.
She then put her hand on her chin. “The Goddesses won’t be here before sunset, so we will still have dinner with them at normal hours. It’s also a family dinner. We should tell mother and brother to come home soon.”
“Fair enough. I will tell them to go home immediately. Would you like to help me until dinner, my daughter?” Kevin took a stone tablet, but his daughter had already left the room.
“See you again at dusk, father!” Evelyn waved her hand, then closed the door.
“Sigh, no one wants to deal with the piles of paperwork. Darn, if I don’t finish them, then who will?” Kevin sighed and returned to finish the paperwork.
“Oh right, Eve. Why don’t you ask why your father needs to go to Holy City tomorrow morning? Everyone is actually so busy just because of the accursed.” Sylvia felt somewhat curious.
“However, the world became better because we have one public enemy. The Gods and Goddesses brought us together. Everyone has no other choice but to put aside their strife and enmity towards one another. I hope the hostility between the races ends in this era.” Ella clasped her hands in prayer.
“That may be true, but I don’t think your wish will be fully realized even if there is a miracle, Ella. Hostility over something is the living’s nature. Even if we eliminate the first cause, another one will reappear to become a new problem. We should hope for the better and more beautiful world.” Sylvia patted Ella’s shoulder and shared her insight.
“I see…” Ella heaved a subtle sigh because Sylvia was right.
p AndD nOve1.cO,m “Hum, Xentia doesn’t really understand. However, The Goddess of Blessings once said something about Human Race’s secret weapons. Is your father going to Holy City to fetch some secret weapons, Eve?” Xentia scratched her head.
“Yes, that is true. Tomorrow my grandfather will distribute the first batch of holy golems and sacred gears to the other rulers. Those things will help humanity eliminate the accursed.” Ella confirmed the information because she knew it well since she was always in Holy City waiting for Ely and the others to return.
“That sounds amazing. We might be able to pay a visit to the Holy City tomorrow morning. The event will be in the afternoon or evening, right? Anyway, let’s get back to our current topic, Eve. Tell us more about this troublemaker.” Sylvia dropped her fist onto her open palm.
“Well, he is the only son of the Grant Duke Household. His name is Blake Grant, the one known as lady killer loved by thousands of beauties. He is nothing more than a stinky playboy who preys on me because of my royal bloodline and my connection to the Goddesses. He tried to harrass me and pursue me, but failed.” Evelyn summarized the short story.
“For the only son of the Duke, I doubt that he is someone that simple. Is it possible that he has a skill like charm magic? He wants to use you to enter the divine group and spread his influence over us? His charm didn’t work on you because you had the Goddess of Light’s protection talisman back then?” Sylvia doubted there was one man who could make a thousand women willing to sacrifice everything for one man.
“It’s possible, he is the monster in human skin? He has never done anything, but he suddenly came to Eve to pursue her love. He is so suspicious, and also, Eve already belongs to Goddess Ely.” Dori sensed something was wrong, and Sylvia’s assumption sounded quite reasonable.
“…” The girls gasped at Dori’s suspicion but wanted to confirm the truth soon.
They went to Evelyn’s room, and sure enough, the mentioned Blake Grant came straight to the palace about half an hour later only to meet the princess who had just returned. Therefore, the girls did a little preparation.
“Give me a way, lovely attendants. My dear princess awaits my birth.” An amicable-looking man with long black hair greeted the girls standing guard in front of the entrance.
“My apologies, Young Master Blake. Princess Evelyn and her friends are enjoying afternoon tea in the meeting room.” One of the attendants bowed slightly.
“My dear princess isn’t there? Well, then guide me to the mentioned meeting room. Princess Evelyn’s friends are my friends too. We should get acquainted.” Blake fanned his face with his black folding fan with beautiful calligraphy that read “genius” in gold.
*Clack*
The door opened, and the prince-charming young man entered the room with a bite of a fresh rose. His eyes glistened when he found Evelyn enjoying an afternoon tea with three girls with extraordinary beauty.
He was stunned for a second to appreciate the beauties, but he soon composed himself and cleared his throat.
*Bam*
Sylvia closed the door, and the room was enveloped with a soundproof barrier.
“Eh?” Blake was surprised when he found a girl behind him. That silver-white-haired girl was similar to the true embodiment of devilish beauty.
“So, you are the one named Blake from the Grant Duke Family? Is there a need for you to come here even though you weren’t invited to our girl only afternoon party?” Sylvia asked in a gentle tone.
“Hello, beauty. This is the first time we have met, and I can tell you with confidence that you are one of the most prettiest girls I have ever met. May I have the honor to know your name.” Blake ignored the other party’s question, smiled dazzlingly, and flicked his hair a bit.
“My name is Sylvia Transcendent. You once harrased our friend, so let’s see what your true motives are. Hm, as I suspected. You have something like charm magic. Is that from the amulet in your necklace?” Sylvia squinted her eyes, then immediately snatched the other party’s amulet necklace for inspection.
“Eh? Hey, girl, we haven’t even finished getting acquainted yet, but you’ve already taken away my belonging. I didn’t know you had a thief friend, my dear princess. Give it back and serve me a cup of tea. I’m going to pretend this never happened.” Blake held out his hand to Sylvia while glancing at Evelyn.
“Yep, this is a demonic charm amulet. The effect is passive and subtle, it only works gradually so it’s difficult to detect. It’s no wonder that some girls get crazy just because of what you say, look, and whatever you do.” Sylvia burned that charm amulet with her black fire.
“I’m afraid I don’t understand what you’re saying, miss? You not only stole my amulet, but also lost it? Don’t you know who I am and what I can do to you? Even though you are Princess Evelyn’s friend, I-” Blake frowned and was ready to do something, but he soon opened his eyes wide. He realized who the girl in front of him was.
He knew that there was someone with the same name, but that girl was the devil princess of the sole ruler of the Devil Continent. The daughter of the Devil Emperor Dylan! If so, no wonder this girl could tell his charm so quickly since the other party was a pure devil!
