The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

"I'll eat well!"

Watching the flustered Erin, Luo Yan smiled and handed the spoon back to her, then nodded slightly and exited the room with Theresa.

It seems that feeding this behavior was still too stimulating for Her Highness Erin Campbell.

Luo Yan couldn't help but think of his cat.

If it were Sarah, she would probably bite into it.

"Mr. Colin."

Noticing the gaze from the side, Luo Yan looked at Theresa and said gently.

"What's up?"

Theresa hesitated for a moment, then carefully chose her words to speak.

"Do you have a betrothal in your hometown?"

Luo Yan didn't remember having such a persona, but somehow the words felt familiar.

Has someone asked before?

"No, why?"

Theresa nodded and said.

"Forgive me for being presumptuous, it's just that a noble like you should be quite popular whether in the Imperial court or the colonies of the New World."

Is that so?

Perhaps.

Luo Yan felt like every demon he encountered wanted to eat him, but over time he realized it was just an instinctive reaction of different species, and eventually he came to terms with it.

"Possibly, but I spent most of my time in the Ivory Tower, so I haven't paid much attention to others' thoughts."

"Is that so." Theresa's eyes told Luo Yan that she didn't believe what he said.

Luo Yan smiled and nodded.

"Yes."

The two fell silent.

Theresa wanted to say something, but wasn't sure if she should speak for the Lady, so she kept her mouth shut.

Of course, Luo Yan knew what she wanted to say, but he had no reason to bring it up, so he calmly enjoyed the quiet moment.

The two stood at the door for about twenty or thirty minutes.

Hearing the sound of a plate being set down behind the door, Luo Yan estimated that Erin should be done eating, so he placed his hand on the doorknob.

"Um... Beware of the Enchanting Demon." Theresa suddenly blurted out from the other side of the door.

"...?" Luo Yan cast her a puzzled glance, but she did not explain, instead she shifted her gaze away.

Beware of the Enchanting Demon?

He almost thought he was back in the Demon City.

"Sorry, it's just a book I read a long time ago, um, a novel..." Theresa's voice grew smaller, embarrassedly wishing she could find a crack to slip into, "Please forget it."

Novel?

"Next time lend it to me." Luo Yan casually said.

"If... if I can find it..."

The voice had grown too faint to hear.

Seems like it's not a book that can be easily borrowed.

...

When Luo Yan pushed open the door and entered the bedroom, Erin was sitting on the bed, elegantly wiping her mouth with a napkin, while the food on the plate beside her had been completely consumed.

Actually, there wasn't much mushroom soup, mainly that basket of bread which was enough for two people.

Noticing Luo Yan's surprise, Erin showed an embarrassed expression and whispered.

"Did I eat too much? Actually, I normally don't eat this much, I even thought of leaving some for you..."

Seeing her quietly explaining, Luo Yan couldn't help but smile and gently said.

"Your body is recovering, you should eat more, as for me, don't worry, I'll deal with it in the kitchen later."

Erin gently murmured "Mm," and whispered.

"... Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you yet. It's thanks to you that Baron Ges could be saved from the Demon King Army."

"It's my honor to be of service."

Pausing for a moment, Luo Yan smiled and continued.

"How do you feel? Better?"

Erin nodded with a warm and healing smile on her flushed face.

"Mm... I feel much better after eating."

It seems that using the Light of Praise consumes quite a bit, but adequate rest can help recovery.

But to rival Gold with the Power of Bronze, this ability is quite a hack.

Indeed worthy of being the Chosen One.

Apparently, his understanding of the Chosen Ones wasn't deep enough.

"Sleep well after you're full."

"Mm..."

Obediently, Erin lay back on the bed, tucked herself into the covers. Her hands grasped the edges of the blanket, with only her emerald green eyes exposed, like stars in the night sky.

Today seems to be when she said "Mm" the most, whereas normally she played the role of giving orders, she didn't expect that having someone to rely on could feel like this.

Perhaps feeling reassured, or maybe drowsiness after a meal, her eyelashes started to tangle, and in a restrained yawn, she drifted into slumber.

Looking at her defenseless serene sleeping face, a smile tugged at the corner of Luo Yan's mouth, and he reached out to tuck her in.

He admitted that his understanding of the Chosen Ones was still too shallow, but it seems this wouldn't stop him from turning this "seemingly Hero" into one of his own.

"Rest well."

He said softly, then picked up the plate and left the bedroom, quietly closing the door for Miss Erin.

Looking at the guard standing at the door, Luo Yan said softly.

"I'll leave this to you, I'll head to the kitchen."

"Mm, leave it to me." Theresa performed a knightly salute, nodding loyally, seemingly having already digested the previous awkwardness.

Luo Yan nodded in response, then passed through the corridor, descended the stairs, left the guest annex, crossed the garden to the main building, handed the plate to the startled servant, and then casually ate a bit in the kitchen.
