After all those processes, two invitations were delivered to the Ducal House of Artina.
One was a clear golden invitation, just like Evelia’s hair. When bitten, actual gold remained evident in the tooth marks.
Moreover, sapphires resembling Evelia’s eye color were embedded around the edges of the invitation.
Inside the invitation, it was written, ‘For my little friend.’ It was very elaborate and elegant handwriting.
“Who in the world makes an invitation out of gold, only to be thrown away after a single glance? And even embedded with gems?”
“They sure know how to spend money.”
The Knights of Artina, who were curious about all the invitations delivered to the young lady, stood by Evelia’s side, their mouths agape in surprise.
An invitation of gold and sapphire. Although it was beautiful, like the color combination that resembled their young lady, these gems could have bought a small house in the remote countryside.
The other one was a hastily made invitation from torn paper.
It was of such low quality, even worse than a street flyer, that it looked even cheaper compared to the pure gold invitation embedded with gems.
On the single piece of paper, which didn’t even have a cover, it was scribbled with an indifferent handwriting, ‘Dog food is ready. Come or don’t.’
“Who in the world makes such a shoddy invitation, which should be formal? And even a single piece of paper?”
“They are truly lacking in manners.”
Either way, the knights were not pleased that a demon had sent an invitation to the young lady.
“Even the demon has a house in the capital! A house!”
The Knights of Artina looked at the young lady, who was crying out in surprise while holding the paper invitation. Their young lady was quite surprised by this rather obvious fact.
Well, he is a highranking demon, so he probably owns a castle, not just a house, young lady.
“I thought he lived in a shack, so I was going to lend him a secret base cabin!”
“A shack…?”
That person, who was overflowing with pride and arrogance, lives in a shack… Our young lady certainly worries about the strangest things.
Only Charon knew where this idea of the young lady originated from and he smiled softly.
“I’ll have to ask mom for permission!”
Holding the invitation tightly, Evelia bounced towards Elysia’s room. Hugo had not yet returned from work.
The sight of Elysia, sitting near the fireplace and reading a book to Enlil, was now a familiar scene.
“Mom, can I go play at Ash’s house?”
Elysia paused her hand that was about to turn the page of the fairy tale book. Enlil, who was lazily lying down and swishing his tail, perked up his ears.
“Look! A beautiful invitation!”
Evelia held out what was probably the most expensive invitation in the world.
“Ah, one for Enlil too! This one’s for Enlil!”
Expecting a similar invitation after seeing Evelia’s, Enlil ripped up the shabby paper invitation that was handed to him, shaking it vigorously in his mouth.
“It seems that the mansion rumored around the capital these days is his.”
Elysia sighed lightly after seeing the address written on the invitation. She had already heard rumors.
She heard from the emperor that he was a state guest, and from the noble ladies, she heard guesses that he might be a great being, not a human. But his identity… a great demon.
As she stared at the invitation, she saw her young daughter bouncing up and down, her hands clasped to her chest.
‘I want to go. I want to go. If you don’t allow me, I’ll run away. I’ll ride Undine and fly there.’
“Well, there’s no harm.”
Many possibilities crossed through the bright mind of Elysia, who used to be called a genius strategist.
The only demon beloved by humans, the demon whose full power was unfathomable even during the war. In case the war between humans and demons, which couldn’t be called a complete truce, reignites, they may need his help again.
Getting closer to such a person was more beneficial than harmful. Especially if he considers her daughter a ‘friend.’
Elysia wanted to protect her daughter as much as possible, but she also wanted to prepare a safety measure or two, as a mother.
“Go ahead. But make sure you take Enlil and the knights with you.”
“Yes! I don’t need to ride Undine!”
[You were going to ride me?!]“I was going to ride you secretly at night if mom didn’t give me permission!”
“Chick, honestly, you need to consider my position as well.”
It was an utterly weak argument. The spirit who had made a pact with the chick wasn’t known as the ultimate hardship job for no reason.
Evelia, furious, stormed off. Since her mother had given her permission, her father’s consent was as good as granted. Elysia gently stroked Enril while quietly speaking.
“To have the devil build a house on this land… My daughter might become the most powerful human in this continent.”
Enril nodded, sweeping away the torn invitation with his hind leg. Any praise from his sister was always welcome.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The invitation also noted that a carriage would be sent at the appointed time for her to arrive.
