Chapter 279 – Loving Couple (1/2)

This incident was something her father told her as a joke to educate demon children how weak and incompetent humans were. Elena remembered it because the story was too funny, who knew that she would meet the son of that cowardly lord here.

“Y-your father? How does your father know about that? Everyone who knew about it already died, there can’t be any survivors, you… uh, no, I…” Because of his nervousness, Higgins almost confessed something by mistake, so he quickly stopped.

How did Elena’s father know about it? That’s simply because he’s the Demon King…

When several sixth-level demonic beasts left the Forest of the End, her father naturally knew about it. When he asked them later on and found out what happened, it instantly became a joke that spread among the higher-level demons.

Of course, there was no way that Higgins would have ever thought that Elena was the daughter of the previous Demon King. He also never expected her to know of what happened so thoroughly, he was flustered and couldn’t even come up with an excuse.

“So, do you still want to dance?” Although it sounded like Elena was asking, she wasn’t actually paying attention to his response and was instead focused on her perverted master.

Perhaps because he was tormented too much, Lin Xiao was already drifting off to sleep. Elena thought that he drank more while she wasn’t paying attention, so she grabbed his shoulders and forcefully pounded his back to make him expel the piss from his stomach.

“You good-for-nothing, what can you do besides sleeping? You aren’t even willing to do anything for the person you like, you might as well die!”

Elena cursed at him like no one was around, while Higgins and his companions turned around and began quietly talking among themselves.

He originally invited her full of confidence but he was made a fool of himself, not only was he rejected, a scandalous secret was revealed and something big almost happened.

“Higgins, what she just said wasn’t true, right…”

“Peh! Of course not, she’s making things up and slandering me! She has no evidence!”

After calming down and thinking about it, Higgins realized that she had no evidence even if she revealed it, he could report her for slander. She was also probably aware of that so that’s why she mentioned it just to scare him and didn’t continue.

This woman was too haughty! She dare play him for a fool? Did she see take him for someone to be played like a fool by anyone?

Higgins never saw a maid as self-important as Elena, even if she knew he was a noble, she wasn’t courteous at all, and even used that incident to mock him… a mere lowly maid really thinks of herself as that valued?

Does she think she’s the Demon King?

If he couldn’t even deal with a lowly maid, how would he be worthy of the princess?

“Leonard, this isn’t over!” Higgins squinted with a sinister look in his eyes.

“Hey, w-what are you doing?”

“It seems that I have to use force! I just don’t believe that I, a city lord’s son, can’t get a lowly maid!?”

“Higgins, don’t act recklessly! Don’t forget that kid is ShenDai Ying’s guest, even if he’s a good-for-nothing, he’s still her benefactor. We definitely can’t touch him here…”

“Hehe, Leonard, who says I was going to touch him? I only have one goal, to get his maid to dance with me! Her master may be ShenDai Ying’s benefactor, but she… is just a normal maid, right?”

“Oh? You’re saying… okay, I’ll help.” His companion couldn’t argue with that, even if he felt like it didn’t feel right and that maid wasn’t as simple as she looked, he still obediently listened to Higgins.

So they reorganized themselves and walked towards Elena again.

“Beautiful Miss Elena, I don’t understand, why is such a beauty working as a maid for this useless trash?” This time Higgins didn’t try to be a gentleman and straightforwardly asked.

“I also don’t want to be his maid.”

Elena pounded him several more times, seeing as he wasn’t reacting, she helplessly sighed and responded absentmindedly.

“Oh, if that’s the case, then why don’t you become my maid?”

“You?” Elena glanced at him and coldly responded, “You’re not even as good as him.”

“Ha!? What did you say?”

“Puh… hahaha! Higgins, this woman is too interesting, she actually… uh, cough, nothing, don’t get angry, I was just going to say that she’s too rude!”
