The only being whom Marbas, known as a ‘heretic’ in the demon world due to her unrestrained nature, obeys. The aura of Ageres silenced her mouth.
“There is no better gift than this.”
“…Yes, I was going to say that too.”
Evelia beamed a bright smile towards Ageres. It didn’t matter what the grassheaded demon criticized, as long as her friend was pleased. After all, these were gifts brought for her friend.
However, to Marbas, that easy smile seemed like a villain’s smirk.
‘That peanut. I won’t let it go, that cunning peanut.’
As Evelia was looking around the interior, following Ageres, Herold and Alec each tossed housewarming gifts they had prepared for Marbas. They were fallen leaves and a tin can.
“Light a fire on a cold day.”
“If you want to poop, do it here.”
“You brats!”
“Plant this and grow a ginkgo tree.”
As Caron threw a ginkgo nut at Marbas’ forehead, Marbas swiftly caught it and crushed it in her hand.
“I won’t give you this candy….”
Enlir handed the two candies he had held in his small hand to Raum, not Marbas.
The grassheaded demon who ignored his sister’s gift doesn’t deserve candy. Humph.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Ageres matched the pace of her small friend, showing off the grand mansion without hesitation.
“If you want to see everything today, it’ll be tiring, so I’ll show you half. Come to play again next time.”
Well. Even the duke’s mansion was not easy to look around in a day. It was clear that it would take days to look around this mansion that boasted greater dignity in size. Evelia obediently nodded her head.
“Here is the dessert room.”
“Dessert room….”
Evelia murmured as if she was mesmerized, and slowly walked into the room. On the tables, sofas, small beds, desks, clean rugs, and all around the room, a variety of desserts were laid out. Even ice cream.
“It’s magical….”
The preservation magic applied to the room itself helped to keep the desserts always fresh.
On the other hand, while demons were proficient in handling magic, they were not mages, hence they couldn’t use highlevel magic like tower mages.
Ageres could easily cast preservation magic in a small area, but applying preservation magic to such a massive room inevitably required the help of tower mages.
The fee for their help was a hefty amount of gold that could buy several ordinary mansions, but from Ageres’ perspective, that amount of money was nothing.
The expression of her small friend who was gobbling a big shoe was undoubtedly happy.
Even if her little friend never visits this room again, this room has fulfilled its value just by seeing her smile now.
The mansion was built to see that smile.
“And here is the doll room.”
“….”
Evelia and the knights following her were lost for words.
When the door was opened, another castle was there. When you open the door, you should be able to see a room, but instead, you saw a ‘castle gate’.
“No way, this is a miniature of the palace….”
As Alec said, it was exactly the same. Familiar shapes and structures for Evelia.
When the castle gate in front of the door was opened, a garden that looked exactly like the one in the palace appeared, and there were buildings and towers where they were supposed to be.
Although the size of the buildings and the garden was reduced to more than 1/50th, there was no hindrance to Evelia playing inside the miniaturized buildings.
“What on earth is this….?”
“I put dolls inside, so play around while walking.”
“….”
The scale was too grand. One might think how ostentatious it could be, but it was literally beyond common sense and difficult to conceive.
To have constructed another ‘castle’ within the mansion. And that too, a room for playing with dolls.
“Ah. The emperor’s office in the central building was a bear cub’s place.”
“…Our bear cub has risen in rank.”
“From a backalley thug bear to the emperor of a miniature palace…”
As Evelia blankly spoke, Harold looked at the central building as if envious.
Moreover.
“This is the clothing room. Change into whatever clothes you like when you come.”
“There are big clothes too?”
“He wished you would still visit when you are grown up.”
“This is the weapons room. Train with whatever weapon you like.”
“There’s an axe too!”
“In case you would want one.”
“This is the picture room. You can look, break, or sell them.”
“… Aren’t those the paintings that disappeared during the kingdom era?”
“You were not told about this. You are to look with your eyes only.”
Harold, who had been gaping, unknowingly nodded his head. Then he had to look at that with his eyes only. How much is that worth?
Soon, Harold called out Marbas with a bewildered expression.
“…Hey. Grass head.”
“Address me as ‘great devil’.”
“It seems like the writer is spending money like drinking air. Isn’t this going to bankrupt the underworld?”
“For our lord, this level of expenditure is merely a pittance. It’s difficult even to estimate whether his wealth has decreased.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
