When the massage device started, she suddenly felt the world drift farther and farther away from her. The sounds around her became elusive, like being immersed in water. A warm current enveloped her whole body, and the soft cushion seemed to pull her in like a vortex, as if her body melted into water.
At this moment, she finally understood the abnormality of Palansi and Rowena.
This is a force that humans cannot resist. Once you sit in an electric wheelchair, it’s hard to get off.
At this moment, she didn’t have to think or do anything, and the wheelchair would take her wherever she wanted to go.
The street scenes along the way kept changing. Nightmare didn’t know how much time had passed until the guard’s reminder came, and with incredible willpower, she stood up from the wheelchair. Almost instantly, a feeling of disorientation enveloped her heart.
This is the Monster Community.
Located in the western suburbs of the Empire, it is a community specially built for magical creatures.
The guard introduced the community information to Nightmare—a concept inspired by the arrival of the Round Table Knight, Palansi, who came with a gigantic drake. The Empire’s capital could hardly accommodate such a massive creature, so the Knight Commander placed the drake in the outskirts of the capital, usually cared for by Miss Keroy.
"It’s said that the night Palansi arrived in the capital, he was involved in a car accident, and his partner broke several bones, but now he seems to have fully recovered."
The guard did not hide his envious gaze during the introduction.
Almost every knight has the same dream: whenever they see something they’ve never seen before that looks rideable, they cannot suppress the passion in their hearts.
A knight without a steed is incomplete, destined for a relatively unsuccessful life.
Undoubtedly, the Empire’s Knight Order is the strongest supporter of the Monster Community’s construction, where they can meet and partner with all kinds of magical creatures.
As a member of the Knight Order, the guard comes to the Monster Community to stroll every day and has even witnessed the Knight Commander riding the drake on a stroll.
Drakes are not something ordinary people can handle, and only great knights like Palansi can become partners with a drake.
"That’s called the Thornwind Vortex Drake!"
Nightmare felt herself turning numb, as she watched this famed dragon, supposed to have the fiercest temperament in the world, squint and smile, nearly pressing its chin to the ground like a dog yearning for Ethan’s caress.
You see, what did she say?
"Ethan succubus says" is definitely a truth.
Behind him followed a brilliantly golden giant bird, its feathers looked so smooth that one couldn’t help the desire to stroke it.
In all her centuries of experience, Nightmare couldn’t discern what kind of magical creature this was. The most update n0vels are published on N()velFire.net
"Oh, that’s Miss Keroy."
The guard noticed Nightmare’s gaze and introduced, "She’s Old Sen’s companion. Old Sen watched her grow up, and it’s said that Miss Keroy is also an investigator for the Reception Bureau and has solved many cases in Ximu Town."
Before this, Nightmare always thought the "Miss Keroy" mentioned by the guard was the name of a maid.
The guard, having opened up, eagerly continued, "Miss Keroy is the leader of the Monster Community. Many magical creatures have flocked to her, it’s not an exaggeration to call her the lead sister."
The knights unanimously believe that Miss Keroy well inherits Ethan’s spirit, and the magical creatures in the community regard her as warmly as the Empire’s residents adore Old Sen.
In the myriad magical creatures, Nightmare found Lindong sneakily mixed in.
A white ragdoll cat was dozing on Ethan’s shoulder, its fluffy tail wrapped around Ethan’s neck like a white scarf.
For some reason, Lindong appeared very tired, its ears drooped listlessly.
It must have drunk too much at the banquet yesterday.
After emphasizing this in her heart repeatedly, Nightmare faced Ethan, clenching her fists—not to continue !
During the guard’s introduction, she even chose the location for her dream healing shop, deciding that the western suburbs of the capital are a prime spot. Placing the shop next to the Monster Community, she could visit and stay with the magical creatures when closed. Just a mere glance and she already fell in love with the community’s atmosphere.
"Lady Nightmare, how did you rest last night?"
Before she could speak, Ethan greeted her proactively.
The opening remarks Nightmare had been brewing throughout the journey were swallowed back down, and a blush appeared on her cheeks. Her soft voice was completely opposite to her pre-imagined "fierce opening," "It was fine, the maids took good care of me."
Why did she suddenly start speaking in a delicate tone?
Why did she just use the standard noble lady’s response?
At this moment, she was transported back hundreds of years, when her father had not yet died in battle, the family had not yet declined, and she could study magic carefree in the mansion.
A terrifying thought suddenly surged within her.
If, she said, if Ethan appeared in the Empire hundreds of years ago, would she also, like Lindong, let go of her inner fury and hatred?
The morning sunlight suddenly became somewhat dazzling, and for that moment, she had the illusion that Ethan and the sun intertwined.
We should set out immediately.
Nightmare felt that this is what she should say, but now, bathing in the sunlight, she decided to linger here for a while longer.
