Chapter 75: Chapter 75: The Duke’s Heir VS The Underdog Female Supporting Character (Part 15)
“Where is my necklace? Have you seen it?” Eve asked anxiously, “A black diamond-shaped one, about this size.” She gestured with her hands.
The maid looked puzzled, “We cleaned your body and dressed your wounds but didn’t see the necklace you mentioned.”
Eve felt a chill in her heart. She had grown accustomed to relying on that mysterious noble, and now that he had suddenly disappeared, she felt a void within her.
“Your Highness!” At that moment, the maid suddenly assumed a respectful demeanor and curtsied towards a certain direction.
Eve looked up and was momentarily stunned.
Apart from that noble, she had never seen anyone so beautiful.
No, the two were distinctly different. That noble’s appearance was like a dangerously seductive flower, luring ignorant mortals to their downfall.
While this Highness seemed like the incarnation of the divine brightness that the Holy See preached about; beautiful, pure, and nobly untouchable.
Gu Shengyin let the maid leave, and she took the necklace out of her Space Ring.
Eve’s attention was immediately captivated.
“Eve!” A cloud of black smoke emanated from the necklace, and in midair, it transformed into that peerlessly elegant man.
“Your Excellency,” Eve said joyfully.
The Demon King didn’t say much but pointed a finger at Eve’s forehead.
“This is what I promised you, a way to enhance your talent.”
Eve suddenly understood his intention, feeling a bit panicked, “Your Excellency, are you going to leave?”
The Demon King glanced at Gu Shengyin, who was expressionless, and said with a deep laugh, “I have found the person I was looking for.”
Eve glanced at Gu Shengyin and suddenly realized.
The reason that noble had always been urging her to come to the Royal Capital must have been because of this Highness.
Eve felt a sense of loss but also understood that the noble owed her nothing; on the contrary, he had helped her a lot along the way, and she had no ground to ask him to stay.
It was Gu Shengyin who spoke, “Would you like to stay at the Duke’s mansion?”
She had her own selfish reasons; after Eve Heather enhanced her talents, her abilities could be described as monstrous. Such a person, if she became a member of the Duke’s mansion, would be a significant asset in the future.
For Eve, this was an unexpected blessing. Being new to the Royal Capital, she knew no one and was worried about finding a place to stay.
She didn’t hesitate long before accepting Gu Shengyin’s offer.
The Demon King additionally made Eve take an oath not to reveal anything concerning him.
Although Eve did not know the noble’s identity, given his demeanor, he must be no ordinary person. She had no objections to this oath; it was better to do less than more, and she would bury his existence in the deepest corner of her memory.
That night, after Gu Shengyin bathed, she used a towel to wipe her wet hair.
An unexpected deep voice said, “My dear, you smell so wonderful.” The Demon King seemed to inhale deeply, as if intoxicated.
Gu Shengyin had become accustomed to his behavior; after all, he couldn’t touch her, “Your Excellency, the Demon King, please have some dignity.”
Due to the Symbiotic Contract, the Demon King’s identity was not concealed.
Gu Shengyin had also wondered if this person might be her lover.
But recalling the previous two lives, whether it was Ji Yu or Yuan Xu, both had a domineering yet gentle nature, whereas this Demon King was clearly a lustful and frivolous old rascal!
