Chapter 42: 42

Chapter 42

What to do. This is a bit tricky.

The voluptuous breasts were about to burst even after all the buttons were done. It’s pretty, but doesn’t it look weird? I turned around and tied my hair with the ribbon that Maria gave me.

I stood in front of the mirror and looked at my face for a long while, but I eventually sighed and changed my clothes again. It’s not that it’s ugly, but I came out of my room with a pout on my lips and a blank expression. While humming, I came down the stairs.

The weather is good. Every day after walking through the mirror or stepping on the shadows, it was refreshing to walk around like this.

As I walked a little further, I saw a familiar building. As I walked in, touching the pass with my hand, I heard a sound in the distance. I climbed the stairs with a quick stride. As I opened the door with the key I took out of my pocket, the smell of books and candles made me feel better.

No one came by to borrow books, so I had no administrative tasks. I opened the window halfway and walked around in moderation to see if there was anything worth reading. Although the age level of the books were low, it was my first time reading something of this genre. There were some things worth reading. I brought a few books and lay down on a long bench against the wall.

I don’t know how much time has passed since I fell asleep while yawning, covered my face with a book, and thought about other things. After a while, I felt the presence of people standing in front of the door and got up. And, noticing my messy hair, Endymion came inside, knocking politely as I untied my hair.

“Miss Lily, hello.”

“Hello.”

Morning and night, that same straight face. I smiled and waved my hand. But Endymion was looking at me strangely. Was there something on my face? As I tilted my head, he smiled again and came over to me.

“Your hair is a bit messy. Shall I tie it for you again?”

“Ah? Oh, sure.”

Come to think of it, this happened before. I gladly held out my hair and turned the side.

Endymion took out a comb from his chest pocket naturally, as if he always carried one with him, then gently combed my hair. This was also peaceful and nice. Endymion chuckled softly as I hummed again.

“You look happy.”

“Yes. The weather is nice and I feel refreshed.”

“Did you have breakfast?”

“No.”

“You keep losing weight, and it’s not good if you keep starving. I heard there was a bit of a commotion yesterday, are you okay?”

“It was fine because Ares stopped it well.”

“I see. It’s done. It’s a pretty ribbon.”

“Right? I got it as a present. Thank you, Endymion.”

I felt good about the compliment. Endymion pulled out a hand mirror from his pocket and held it out to me, smiling. What’s with this man? Did you even bring a mirror? I took the mirror with a smile, and he said in an indifferent voice.

“So, what is Miss Lily doing now?”

“What I’m doing? I am looking into the mirror.”

“No, not that.”

“Well. Didn’t you just tie my hair up? Or maybe, are you asking about the book I read…?”

Why was he asking such a strange thing? Frowning as I tilted my head to the side, Endymion said with a cool smile.

“The real Miss Lily.”

“…Oh what. Since when did you know?”

“I knew as soon as I saw you.”

Seeing him answering with a sullen face, he seemed to know clearly that I was different from usual. Otherwise, there would be no way he would make a face like towards me. But, the ‘real Lily’, he said. It sounded wrong, but I brushed it off and pretend not to mind.

“I’m Lily, too. Doing that with you at night.”

“Not now, is it? …To be precise, you only seem like the ‘succubus’ Lily mentioned.”

“Ah. I said something like that.”

Still, how did he notice? We looked the same and had the same body. I don’t think I’ll give you an answer, but when I smiled as prettily as I could while he stared intently at me, Endymion’s expression crumpled in an instant.

“Don’t smile with that face.”

“…No, you. If you don’t tell me how you found out, I’ll keep doing this.”

“I told you. I knew as soon as I saw.”

“You know that’s not the answer, right?”

“I don’t know. You can think of it as an answer for now.”

Oh my god. How can he say such a mean thing so casually?! I looked at him sullenly, and said.

“You’re mean. Are you really saying that to the girl you like?”

“I like Miss Lily, not you.”

“Are you going to be like that? I am Lily, and Lily is me, too.”

“You are not Miss Lily.”

It felt like repeating the same words over and over again. What a stuffy man. When you look at me with a face dripping with honey, how can you say that? As I looked at his face sullenly, he answered reluctantly.

“I knew as soon as I saw. Miss Lily doesn’t smile at me like that in the first place.”

“Ah.”

“And when Miss Lily becomes you, a succubus, you really only want to absorb my essence, so there’s no need to pretend to be civil with me.”

“Ahh.”

“More than anything else, your eyes are a little bigger than how Miss Lily’s usually looks, your lips are thicker, your face is slimmer, and your breasts are bigger.”

“You can tell after just a cursory glance?”

“Of course.”

Seeing him smiling proudly made me laugh out loud. He’s great too. I guess it was different from usual because I wasn’t used to it. If it wasn’t for Endymion anyway, no one would notice, so I didn’t bother to change it.

And Endymion looked at me again with a blunt face and asked, as if he never smiled.

“So what happened to Miss Lily?”

What happened?

“I ate her. In a gulp.”

Endymion’s face turned pale the moment I smiled while clasping my hands in a cute way. He wasn’t angry, and he wasn’t even giving out any killing intent. It was as if time had stopped alone.

I wasn’t expecting this kind of reaction.

“It’s a joke, a joke.”

“…A joke.”

“Yes. She’s just sleeping very deeply.”

“I don’t quite understand.”

“I didn’t ask you to understand either.”

She’s just sleeping, so what more should I say? As I tilted my head and responded, I felt murderous intent from Endymion this time. Oh my, so scary! I smiled brazenly and said again,

“You didn’t tell me properly, did you?”

“I said it properly.”

“Lies.”

“It’s the truth.”

“…Really?”

He furrowed his eyebrows despite me nodding my head with a consistent face at the repeated questions. Endymion said bluntly.

“Is there any reason for me to believe you?”

“That’s…”

He blurted out the word. Judging by what he was saying, he seemed sincere, but I didn’t understand it. To say that I am only trying to absorb essence to the point of assuring that I don’t smile brightly, doesn’t that mean that this body’s sole purpose was to sleep with men?

“Do you like me that much?”

“I like Miss Lily.”

“Oh deeaarr. I have nothing to say. Look, Endymion. Do you think our eyes are any different?”

“Yes. Your eyes are bigger than usual…”

“No, not like that.”

“…….”

As a succubus, looks meant nothing to me. Endymion, who was about to reply to the same thing he had just said, nonchalantly bit his mouth with a firm glance. I laughed bitterly.

“Look. Why do you keep saying I’m not Lily when you can’t even speak?”

“You… No, no—”

“Cat got your tongue?”

“Forget it, it’s not important. Anyway, I think it would be nice to stay here today. If you’re hungry, I’ll bring food to you later, so don’t come out.”

“What if I don’t want to listen?”

“Will you change your mind if I told you to lock you up by force?”

“Are you capable of locking me up?”

As soon as I finished speaking, Endymion clenched his fists and looked at me with sullen eyes, and light magic surged from him. He’s bad with jokes. That’s why single-minded people were scary.

At this point, he really looked like he would lock me up, so I smiled broadly and nodded my head.

“I’ll be good.”

Endymion sighed and went outside. As soon as he left, there was the sound of a door locking… It felt kind of awkward. Was it because the man who had even slept with me was talking to me so sternly? Even so, it wasn’t a bad feeling, so I hummed and laid back on the chair.

“Ah, my hair.”

However, I felt my neatly tied hair being pressed and got up immediately. I can’t even lie down, what is this?

The door was locked, so no one could come, and I was told not to go out, so I couldn’t move.

What a meanie. Pouting, I slipped my feet into my shoes and stood up. I’ll have to take a look outside.

“Lord Kyren. Are you planning to go today?”

“If you don’t like it, you can stay. Odil and Lubich did all the work, so you have to breathe a little bit.”

As Kyren spoke with a malicious smile, Zeid let out a sigh. Contrary to his loose-looking face and behavior, the young emperor in front of him was a person who thoroughly considered the gains and losses of interest and did not bring people into the line.

He was the one who told him to destroy everything without regard for the influx of souls, so why was he interested in such an unknown person? The maid was quite beautiful in a way that she strangely caught people’s attention, but there’s nothing else apart from that.

However, no matter how intimidating it was, demons were demons, and Zeid did not like that Kyren was going to meet her.

It’s unknown where Kyren knew about his concerns or not. No, it was obvious that he was doing this knowingly, but Zeid quietly followed after Kyren, who headed for her knights complex with a skip in his step.

And the moment he crossed the border after using the pass, he took a deep breath as he turned his eyes to where Kyren’s gaze, who had stopped still.

“Lord Kyren.”

“…….”

It was such a dizzying magic that he could feel it from afar. Zeid and the others took a step away. Kyren looked at her bewitched.

The dark-red magic, whose shape was clearly visible, was fluttering around the woman like flower petals. It was so beautiful that he didn’t feel it at the time—but it was creepy yet beautiful.

Is it because of the feeling? It felt as if the smell was burning his nose.

“Succubus.”

“Yes?”

Zeid questioned the words that Kyren suddenly uttered. And he looked at the place where the maid had been, startled. She could not be seen as she had gone inside in a short period of time, but a few remaining magical flowers like reverberation remained.

“A succubus? You mean that maid?”

“It seems like it. Zeid, let’s go back. Today doesn’t seem like my day.”

“Yes, Lord Kyren.”

Kyren smiled wryly. Something like that was brought into his palace.
