The Duke and Duchess, who said they couldn’t because of the situation but actually wanted to show their daughter a wider world, agreed.
The emperor’s consent, wishing that Evelia, who will grow into a talent of this empire, would learn about the politics of the eastern continent.
As a result of all these factors, a chick was added to the envoy.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The place Agares headed to, receiving a small friend’s farewell, was not the demon world.
The Harventa Empire of the Eastern Continent, a place of simple and calm beauty, unlike the splendor of the Western Continent.
The high and majestic imperial palace of the Western Continent, and the low and wide palace of the Harventa Empire located in the middle, the emperor’s office was filled with the energy of a highranking demon.
The lamp on the desk, which had been illuminating the dark room, flickered faintly and soon went out, but there was no problem with the emperor and the demon facing each other.
That’s how bright the moon was tonight.
“Are you the ruler of the Eastern Demon Realm?”
“You don’t seem surprised.”
“Your energy is unmistakable.”
The woman, whose flamboyant red hair could be described as a flaming entity, tied up high, pushed her office chair back and crossed her long legs.
“I heard you disappeared somewhere in the demon world.”
“Skip the nonsense. You owe me. Remember?”
The warm gaze he had shown his little friend just a moment ago was nowhere to be found in the demon’s eyes, cutting off the emperor of the Harventa Empire who was about to ask about his wellbeing.
The gold eyes shining in the dark were truly those of a predator.
“……How could I forget?”
The moment when she barely saved her life from the brink of defeat thanks to him stopping the war.
“There is always a price for the kindness of a demon.”
The golden eyes that make even the moonlight bow their heads stared coldly.
“I came to collect. That debt.”
It’s a debt of life, so it can’t be easily written off.
No, regardless of that, the arrogant gaze looking down, the relaxed mouth despite standing alone in enemy territory, all were perfectly those of a ruler.
The emperor, Sephiria, suddenly thought.
‘I wonder if there really exists a being that can cause trouble to this person.’
Soon the tall woman slowly rose from her seat.
Even as she absorbed the heavy demonic energy, her eyes, not wavering an inch, were truly those of a survivor who fought her way through that chaotic era of rampant spears and swords.
“I protected this empire and this life thanks to your kindness.”
Agares’ face tilted slightly as if to discard useless pleasantries.
It meant he wanted an answer to the main point.
“As long as you do not ask me to hand over this empire, I will repay you in any way.”
It would probably be life, soul, national treasure, something like that. The price of a demon is always like that.
‘As I protected something more precious than my life with his kindness, what regret would there be to give up anything else.’
The cold laughter finally came to the mouth of the demon, looking at the emperor’s eyes full of resolution.
“What I’m going to get in return for saving your empire and your life is.”
A gentle breeze blows in between the open windows.
The friend would surely have liked the wind of the Harventa Empire, untouched by winter’s breath.
A warmth naturally returned to her cold face as she thought of her young friend, who used to laugh brightly.
Facing Agares, Sephiria thought that the illusion caused by the moonlight was clear.
“Entertainment.”
“……?”
As if questioning whether she heard correctly, one corner of Sephiria’s eyes twitched slightly, and Agares added.
“There will be a young girl in the envoy of the Arcadia Empire that we will soon visit.”
“…….”
“Prepare the best food and desserts from the Eastern Continent, and hold the most magnificent banquet.”
Sephiria, who rarely showed surprise, widened her eyes slightly.
“She likes skewers the most and prefers her meat slightly undercooked, pay special attention to this.”
Who on earth is it,
“Prepare to show her an elephant, a creature not found in the Western Continent, at the banquet.”
Who drew out such an unfamiliar emotion from him, who had been so emotionless,
“Assign her a room with large windows as she likes warm sunlight, and turn off all the lights in the palace at night so she can see the stars well.”
Could it be that he said this.
“If the hospitality does not meet my standards as I will also be visiting as an envoy of the Arcadia Empire, I will take your life as a return favor.”
Considering she saved her life and empire with the help of a highranking demon, it’s a cheap price.
Without hesitation, Sephiria nodded once and asked.
“What are you to her that you ask for ‘hospitality’ as a return favor that would be sufficient no matter what you receive?”
If you had asked, you could have taken any jewel, any rank, or even any life.
The noble demon turned his back without any further response.
The emperor of Harventa, who didn’t expect an answer, withdrew his gaze from the demon and sat in the audience hall’s chair, holding a quill.
Agares, who was leaving the office, stopped his steps for a moment.
The demon, who received the moonlight fully and held a bundle of light, was different from those past days.
The feeling of someone catching and anchoring a transcendent, who was not fascinated by the world, to this land.
Then a low voice flowed through the emperor’s office.
“……It’s not regrettable, even if you give up everything you can receive,”
Yes, already.
“Friend.”
Just that much already.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
