A few minutes later, Shane left the top floor of the Supreme Castle, holding Lilith, who was tilting her head in confusion with one hand, and holding a small note in the other, deep in thought.
This... isn't it a bit inappropriate?
He had just gotten engaged to the Dragon Girl after years of... well, after many years of true love, and now he was here with another woman's note and planned to sneak into a grove with her in the middle of the night, acting quite like a scoundrel.
But Shane and Hette Yada are surely innocent!
I'm not that kind of person, right?
"So, as long as my conscience is clear, it's fine."
Shane showed a carefree and relieved expression, putting the note into his pocket, appearing to be quite bold at a glance.
That is, if you ignore the trembling and guilty look he had when putting the note away...
Lilith was still puzzled, her mind full of questions.
"It's nothing, you're just a kid, you don't need to understand all this."
Shane saw her and quickly put on a serious face.
Lilith was still Lilith, even though she didn't understand, she nodded regardless.
Shane couldn't help but kiss the cheek of this little girl that was as soft as a feather, making her smile joyfully, while he moved forward down the stairs.
New to the scene, Shane decided to wander around the Supreme Castle, waiting for the Demons' meeting to end.
Though he didn't have a Demon Clan guide with him, which made the surrounding Demons look at him strangely, Shane had nothing else to do, so it was good to wander around temporarily.
If Hette Yada was willing to leave with him, he could have her take him to Gold to interrogate that Angel Envoy and gather information about the Primordial Demon.
Unfortunately, Hette Yada stated that she would have to wait until the Demons' meeting ended before she could leave, as she needed to stay there to respond to any needs from the Demons.
This is also why she asked Shane to meet her in the grove at midnight.
Helpless, Shane could only take Lilith and leave to pass the time.
However, as Shane descended floor by floor, suddenly, a strong gaze fell upon him.
Shane stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and looked at the source of the gaze.
At this glance, Shane was stunned.
He saw three silhouettes appear in the corner of a corridor.
They were three women of the Demon Clan.
And, they were very distinctive women, leaving a deep impression at first glance.
They lined up in a row, with the leader stepping forward slightly, while the other two voluntarily stood a step behind her.
On the left stood a woman holding a wine barrel, with horns and a beautiful face, yet giving off a bold and generous vibe; her eyes had a slightly hazy look like she was drunk, but her gaze was sharp, suggesting she was extraordinary.
On the right stood a woman with a proud expression, looking like a delicate yet willful lady, but with a strong presence, her gaze radiating brightly, appearing difficult to deal with.
Seeing these two, Shane felt like he was looking at a valiant female general and a free-spirited lady knight, indicating the strong personalities of these two women.
As for the leader, she seemed the youngest of the group, like a girl who had just left her maiden home, with a bit of innocence on her face, not as strong as the other two.
But the girl's appearance was the most outstanding among the three, with big, watery eyes, a small pretty nose, long eyelashes, and a delicate, soft face; her features combined with an exotic flair, along with long black hair reaching her waist, deep eyes like black obsidian, at first glance, Shane almost thought he was looking at a Goddess walking out of a Dream.
This beauty was enough to make many innocent young men fall for her at first sight.
If Luoqi could score a perfect hundred in appearance, and the not-yet-grown Tielle could score ninety-nine, Merica would be a ninety-nine at least, then this girl would definitely score a ninety-nine point five.
In other words, she might not reach the level of Kingdom Treasure Luoqi and Elf Queen Sophie, but she was still half a notch above Tielle and Merica, already having the power to captivate the masses.
Thanks to this, even Shane, a man who has already subdued (No problem there) the over-the-top Enchanting Demon, was momentarily caught off guard seeing this small beauty.
"She's looking at me...?"
Shane felt somewhat surprised.
She was indeed looking at Shane.
Moreover, in a very straightforward manner, staring intensely, with her eyes sparkling brightly.
Frankly speaking, it was Shane's first time being stared at so intensely by a beautiful woman he just met.
This made Shane feel a bit uneasy.
On the contrary, the other two, although also looking over, were not as blunt as the exquisite beauty, maintaining a subtle and somewhat complex look.
Not long after, the three approached.

Lilith, held in Shane's arms, tilted her head in confusion.
